Need help! Phone info just stays on home screen - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

So I'm handing this phone down to my mom and I've tried flashing stock rom 2 times and nothing changed. The black box with yellow text is always there on the home screen... Help me please I want to get rid of it.

Need help removing Custom Rom, Odin and Cwm Recovery no go's

Alright, I'm hoping I can get some quick useful feedback on this. Posting this here in the Hercules Forum because of device similarities. I'm currently on AOKP Official Milestone 6, and every time I reboot it reverts me settings I had on August 28th. I've been going thru this all day long, Google searching, scanning forums for my device and the T989.
I've attempted Odin flashes 13 times today to go back to Stock Gb and Stock Ics, the flashes show successful, yet AOKP boots right back up. Recovery does nothing to wipe, currently on Clockworkmod Touch Recovery.
Formatting all caches and partitions, Dalvik wipes all 5x each do nothing, even flashing something after this does nothing. I can't even reset AOKP, it takes me right back to the same condition from August 28th, same theme, apps, etc, all there. I've even formatted both emmc and sdcard, nothing. Whatever I do gets overwritten to the previous condition.
Can someone please help me out with this. I'm not even sure what to classify an issue like this as.

Another no go. Vincom over in the Skyrocket forums schooled me on what's going on. Its a failure to write to the nand. He was trying to help another guy out with the same situation, and nothing worked for him either. I'm on my second Skyrocket, my luck with 3's hasn't ever been so good. I'm within my 30 days still, if I can brick it, I may be able to get a new phone.
Thanks for all your help tho man, really appreciate it

Damn that sucks bro and I tried sorry couldn't help ya and yeah brick that sucker n send it in ha

I am having the same issue right now with my t989. How did you end up bricking your phone in order to send it in for a new one? I have tried just about everything to brick mine but have had no luck because nothing will install properly.
Open ROM manager and flash a recovery not for a galaxy and you'll brick it

Funny. I had bought an external battery pack from DealExtreme which came with a micro USB cable that would put my phone straight into download mode. Go figure.
Those can save a lot of time and money if you have one on hand

I really dont know. Its never happened to me a single time. If it starts up again then all I could figure is its either another app causing it, or some sort of hw problem.

[Q]I may have soft-bricked my phone?

I tried to backup my data apps by following this Samsung galaxy S3 SnapDragon toolkit. But I was stupid enough to not read the Warning about it doesn't work with Jelly Bean 4.1.1 and how unfortunate I do have Jelly Bean 4.1.1 on my phone. So now my phone reboot constantly with Samsung logo and a black screen with LED lighted up.
I can boot into recovery mode. I did try your typical Wipe process but the phone is still reboot in the same result as mentioned. I am planning on trying to recovery it with Odin. So anyone have advices on what happened and is it even possible to fix it?

Flashbarservice.
Multi window toggle was introduced in 4.1.2 and looks like you don't have it.
Greece didn't receive dll7 yet so I would strongly recommend you to update asap to dll7 or newer rom. Flash a rom of some other country it wouldn't matter much. ..
