[Q] Soft Brick Assistance needed Sprint SG3 ODIN: Flash write failure

Really need help! I starting having issues with my phone lately where it would just shut down after booting into the phone.
After a couple of days i now freezes on Samsung Galaxy SIII screen.
I tried using ODIN3 to recover a ROM and get this message (checking Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time option)

[Q] SGH-I747 trouble writing to /cache during flash, need troubleshooting advice

Hi all,
I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 16GB (SGH-I747). Recently my phone starting locking up and shutting down on occasion, and yesterday it got much more frequent before refusing to boot at all. When I power on the phone it proceeds as normal up until the "Samsung Galaxy S III" logo screen before and then hangs.
I can enter recovery and download modes. I am also able to flash new recoveries using Odin (I tried switching to stock, and when that didn't work, back to CWM. No problems either time) But when I try to flash the stock ROM again, Odin hangs up on the /cache section of the flash and produces the following log:
Note: The only option I have checked in Odin is Auto Reboot

It's worth mentioning that I've tried to clear/format the cache several times with Clockwork Recovery, but it can't seem to mount, write or read the partition. The message I receive after taking almost any action in Clockwork (presumably because it's trying to update the cache) is this:
Code:
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install
I've also tried using Odin along with a pit file to repartition the device. It appears successful, but then still can't flash the image. Here's the log for that:
Note: In this case, I obviously have Re-Partition checked as well as Auto Reboot, but nothing else is selected.

Does anyone know how I can revive my phone? I'm not very familiar with the android environment or filesystem, and I'm hoping the problem is just that I'm doing something wrong/stupid.

Looks like you have the 4.3 bootloader and you cannot flash a stock 4.3 ROM in Odin unless you are using a a 4.3 ROM that has been compiled for flashing via Odin.
Don't use Odin with any ROM prior to 4.3.
