Are you on stock kernel? If so then flash some safe kernel and try full wipe, if that too doesn't help, then flash stock firmware using pc odin.
I am assuming you are on ICS, as you didn't provide any info. You should have mentioned the method used for root and everything.

Now i cant even get to download mode to use odin to flash GB rom. I tried flashing abyss kernel using srock ICS recovery and that's the main reason for current situation i think. Any help?

Take it to a samsung service center and ask them to reset the phone. Tell them its too slow after the latest update using kies. If there is a problem with the motherboard they will report back and replace under warranty.
Else they will install the OS completely new and you can start from scratch to root and install other custom roms.
Try using USB jig to go to download mode, try it first. Jig is not expensive.

No it's not bricked. Yes you lose your warranty, but you can unroot your Note. Don't warry Note is so good phone, that you don't need warranty

Then if it's not bricked why i need to remove the battery for 1 hour and wait an other 2 hours to finally open my phone after a simple turn off? Thats why i want the warranty so i can take the phone to samsung and fix this issue. And im afraid to unroot it cause when ever i try to put my phone on recovery mode its stucks and take for ever to open againm\

If you are feeling this a stupid site,then why are you asking here to help you solve the problem
You might have done it in a wrong way and blaming the site
And rooting procedure varies from rom to rom
You could find all stock roms here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Download a rom(better a gb rom) and flash it using pc odin
This is the rooting guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Just download any stock gb via guide above, then flash with pc Odin in the pda section whilst in download mode (Vol down, Power and home).

Hello,
Ik bricked my phone last week. Did something stupid, tried to format with CMW.zip. Very bad i know.
Because i needed the phone asap, i send it to samsung
Went to pick it up today, with the message that i lost my warranty. I can live with that.
When i turn on my device i get the message that there is no firmware installed and i need to connect it to samsung KIES.
What do you guys recommend? I can get in Download Mode, but not in CWM menu. Possible they removed the failed root i installed before.
I cannot connect to KIES, think you all know KIES is a sh*t program.
What do you guys advise me? Root again trough download mode and install CM, or try and connect to KIES with different PC.
Regards,
Joao

Thanks for your reply, i have no idea why Samsung gave me a blank firmware back. Can i just update it with http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3
Here i can find the stock ROM's.
You think Samsung change the Motherboard? Because they told me i lost my warranty and i cannot update legaly anymore...
Regards
Samsung usually loads the firmware and returns the phone. Now sure why no in in this case.
Yes you can download the stock firmware from sammobile.com and flash via odin. But if you choosing ics make sure not to wipe till a safe kernel is installed. I would suggest philz. That way the phone will be rooted as well. Hope that have changed the mb.
Flash the firmware and hope for the best.

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone could bare with me and help me out with my little issue.
THE ISSUE:
I bought a locked (Vodafone) I9305 for my girlfriend, in hopes that I could then SIM-unlock it as easily as I did with my Galaxy S2;
I understand I need to root my phone before I do that, so...
THE QUESTION:
How do I backup my phone before rooting it, so that I can return it to the exact state it came out of the box?
Also, what's the safest method for rooting it?
And before you guys tell me, I did use the search function, but it only came up with some generic tutorials that don't really go into what I want to do.
Any help would be really appreciated!

To go back to stock use odin, and to search your firmware go to sammobile.com
As for rooting (im not sure), i think if u flash supersu.zip from supersu thread on stock recovery u will get root
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Try CF-Auto root for rooting (using odin) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1959605,
easier and simplest way to root.
After rooting, just do a factory reset and your phone status will stay Normal/Official instead of Modified.
Please note that this is just root and no custom recovery is included
to get back to stock, use Odin too as the C4SCA mentioned above
there are multiple guides on rooting, backing up, and unlocking.

Wait, what? Since when does doing a factory reset on an Android phone takes it back to the original firmware? I've had an HTC One X, and a custom firmware on it, and everytime I do a factory reset, it just deletes the files, it doesn't change the software at all. Am I missing something here? Is it different with the Galaxy S3 I9305?
Ok so, sorry for double posting, but I think I'm getting somewhere.
Since I only need root to unlock the phone, once I do root it (I figure I can use this guide?), I should FIRST unlock it and THEN reset the flash counter? And then, in case I need to return the phone back, I'll reset it to factory state (unrooted and locked)...how?
Just need help with this last question please!

Dude, I never said it will change the firmware, it will change the system status under settings --> About phone --> Status to Normal from Modified
This enables to get OTA updates even if the phone is rooted
To answer your last question, you just need to flash the stock firmware ( which is currently on your phone) again using odin

You're wrong as you don't have to root your phone to unlock it! Not i9305! Downgrade JB to 4.1.1 and follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34661189

Oh, I saw in your other post you said to flash 4.1.1 with Odin. Could you tell me where could I find the correct ROM for my phone model? I'm on Vodafone Portugal and baseband version (if it matters) is I9305XXBLL5.

Download odin, install drivers (install kies for example), go to sammobile.com, search the firmware for your device (unzip the download file until u get a tar.md5 file), go to recovery mode, wipe data/factory reset, put the phone in download mode, plug to pc, terminate all tasks linked to kies (in task manager), open odin, click pda, select the tar.md5 file, hit start, wait
Dont touch any settings in odin or u may brick your phone

Hi guys, so I this night I was feeling adventurous and decided to flash a custom firmware to my mom's old Galaxy Mini phone. Searched a couple of firmwares and decided to pick Balt Rom. After failing to power up the device a few times, I did my homework (Dang! Why did I have to search more after doing it?!). I NEEDED to root the stupid device.
So, here it goes. The phone won't start up. It just shows the Samsung logo you usually see when booting up. Is there any way I can solve this? Or is the phone bricked already?
Thanks.
