cry a little, maybe the phone will accept your apologizes and resurrect from the dead
again it may not work so don't get your hopes up to high ITS A TRIAL AND ERROR situation WITH HARD BRICKS...........
some people have successfully debricked their device, so again you have to be patient and know exactly what you are doing and dont panic
Remember Mobiletechvideos.com can fix it in less than 25 minutes depending on your phone :laugh:and they are affordable :good:
Your pretty much stuck if you can't recover via SD card.
Remember there are a lot of options for JTAG repair, research local repairs by Kijiiji and also places like Mobile Tech Videos. Always search for legitimacy and best price.

Can’t access to Download Mode or Recovery Mode after bricking AT&T Galaxy S3 i744 4.3
Hi I have (had) a AT&T galaxy S3 i747 with android 4.1.1

Because the phone is in another country I couldn’t update it by OTA to android 4.3
So I started to read forums that said how to Update AT&T S3 i747 to android 4.3 (I747UCUEMJB)
The S3 was not Root
I installed all the phone drivers in the computer
This is what I did: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52341582&postcount=38)
- Use Odin 3.07
- Check Auto Reboot and Re-Partition, and uncheck all the boxes
- I put my phone in USB debugging in the developer options
- I turned it off
- Started to put the phone on Download Mode pressing volume DW+home+power button at the same time
- In Odin on the PDA box I checked and loaded the file .tar.md5 (I747UCUEMJB_2024954_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5 )
- Pressed the button Start
The installation seemed to go right, the program never showed anything weird.
When the Programs finished the installation the phone turned off and then turned on and show the logo of android (seemed to be lying down or inclined) and after that it turned off.
The computer showed that something was connected (QHSUSB_DLOAD) but couldn’t install any driver, so I disconnected it of the computer.
I couldn’t turn on the phone :crying:, I took the battery out and put it in and tried to start the phone and nothing happened, I tried pressing any button to access to recovery o download mode and none of this worked.
I started to search forums that talk about restart or turn on a brick AT&T S3 i747
I found one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549068) that said to download a image (debrick-SGH-I747U-CUEMJB3.img) and using the program “Win32DiskImager” to put the image inside of a micro SD to make the phone turn on,
I put the micro SD inside the phone and when I pushed the power button for almost 3 seconds it Turned on , the phone seems to be fine an it has android 4.3 (I747UCUEMJB) installed.
I can use it normally so far.
But the problem is that I can’t turn on the phone if the micro SD card is not inserted on the phone.
Without the micro SD inside don’t show any sign of life
When the micro SD is inside I can turn on the phone and use its apps.
I have tried to enter to Recovery mode or Download mode with the micro SD inside but the phone only show what its supposed to happen for 1 second then turns off and then turns on by its own (after that I can use it normally)
Does anyone know how can I Fix my phone ?
How can I boot my phone without using the micro SD card?
How can I access to download mode?
And if I could access to download mode what should I do next ?
The only files I have now are:
Odin3 v3.07
I747UCUEMJB_2024954_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5(905 Mb)
debrick-SGH-I747U-CUEMJB3.img (80 Mb)

It's been a while sorry about beinging away.
A guy who says that have a JTAG service tried and coudn't recover it. So I left it there because it have a broken display and a broken firmware and it' is from outside Brazil and after the FIFA CUP Anatel will lock operation of devices that models are not sold on Brazil and I747 is probably included on the list.
So i gave up from my phone and bought a Nexus 5.
The case is closed!

Here's what you can do to get the device back to working and booting normally. If the Odin flash failed first time, you should not use this flash again. Instead you should use custom recovery to flash a complete 4.3 stock restore image.
1) Download the stock restore image from the following thread. I always prefer to use TWRP and thus, the TWRP image, because of the easier user interface.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
Save the file to a location on your computer.
2) Download the Odin flashable TWRP Tar file for custom recovery from the link below ....
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/d2att/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-d2att.tar
With the debrick card in your phone, boot to system as you have been doing. Connect your phone to your computer with a good quality micro USB cable and copy the stock restore image you downloaded earlier to your phone. Be sure you remember the stored location.
3) Power off your phone and, with the debrick card, boot to download mode. If you cannot use the Volume Down, Power and Home button combo to boot to download mode, you may need to get a USB jig.
4) Once you are in download mode, connect your phone to the PC, open Odin v3.07. Make sure Odin recognizes your phone. Do not check or uncheck any boxes but leave the defaults as is. In the PDA box, load the TWRP Tar file you downloaded earlier. Click on Start and wait for flashing to complete. When you get to Pass, disconnect your phone from the PC and pull out the battery to stop it trying to reboot.
5) Replace the battery and with the debrick card inside, boot to Recovery mode by pressing the Volume Up, Power and Home buttons. If you do this right, you should be able to get to recovery mode.
6) Select Install and navigate to the stock restore zip file you saved to your phone earlier. Select this zip and swipe to confirm install. Wait for firmware installation (flashing) to complete.
7) Clear your cache/dalvikand reboot to system.
Try booting without the card. If the above process went as described, your phone should be booting normally. Good luck!

Okay. At least, we are almost there. Try booting into recovery mode and doing a hard wipe/reset. If this doesn't work, then you could try reinstalling the 4.3 stock firmware. You may need to reflash custom recovery as the initial flashing would have returned you to stock recovery. If you have to do the firmware flashing again, please make sure you clear your cache/dalvik before rebooting to system.
happy to see this thread resolved, this is what XDA is all about, no matter how fd up something sounds, a community like xda will find a fix for it even if it takes months
And the award of the Q/A thread goes to Larry and everyone in this post for trying and failing but succeeding at the end :laugh:
anywayz happy rooting and be careful, no-one wants to end with a brick cheers and keep this place awsome

Hey Larry2999 I want to really thank you for your help it was so helpful, actually I discovered that the battery of the Galaxy S3 was failing thats why when I turned on the phone it turned off after a seconds althoughthe battery was charged, so I connected the charger to the phone and it started normally. Now I can use it and it has android 4.3.
Your method was right, and thanks to take the time to answer. I hope it can help someone else too.

Did you try getting into download mode with the 3-button combo (Volume Down/Power/Home)?
I have no idea what's wrong with my phone. In the past, it would randomly shut off and wouldn't turn back on using the power button. I would have to take the battery out, plug it into the charger so the red LED came on, put the battery back in, and smack it a few times before it vibrated and powered on. There's nothing wrong with the power button, because I've had to power down/restart before using it and it always worked, and as long as I shut it off myself instead of it turning itself off randomly, the power button always worked.
Anyway... my little "trick" to turn it back on stopped working the other day. I have pictures, voice recordings and contacts that I need to get off of this phone. I've tried my "trick", I've tried leaving the battery out overnight, I've tried putting another S3 battery in, I've tried plugging it into my PC... nothing is working. I'm not super techy, and I've never downloaded anything to modify it from the stock version. I have no idea what happened to this stupid thing.
I looked up something about a jig, and forcing it into download mode, but I wasn't able to find out if that would allow me to access the files in the internal storage (I don't use an SD card) or if it'll wipe everything out. Does anyone have any idea on what I can do???
they do make a usb stick that is double-ended. one end will fit in a samsung device and the other is regular,i.e. plugs into a computer. if all else fails you might try that to at least retrieve your stuff.
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
Are you able to get into download mode? If you are, you may be able to flash TWRP and possibly mount the internal storage as a USB drive. I've done this on my Nexus 4 and my Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tablet.

they do make a usb stick that is double-ended. one end will fit in a samsung device and the other is regular,i.e. plugs into a computer. if all else fails you might try that to at least retrieve your stuff.

I've tried plugging it into my computer with the USB and nothing happens. The only time my phone shows signs of life is when I take the battery out, plug it into the charger, and the red LED comes on--the screen stays completely black, no noise, no vibrations. Nothing. My computer doesn't recognize my phone unless it's turned on

Unfortunately no, which is why I was thinking about purchasing whatever this "jig" is off eBay to force it into download mode. I'm hoping if there's something on the screen my computer will recognize it and let me access the internal memory how I usually do when I'd transfer pictures/files. I've tried all of the button tricks for download and recovery mode and my phone won't respond at all.
if it comes down to having to use jtag, this may help.

although the jig is prob. a lot cheaper.

My phone won't go into download mode. The "jig" I ordered arrived today and that won't even force it into download mode. I just want to get my phone to the point where I can plug it into my computer and pull my files off of it. Nothing seems to be working. I followed your first few steps anyway, thinking maybe with the SD card it would allow it to go into download mode, but that didn't work.
