HI,
My Samsung galaxy s III has bricked. I can go to the download mode though. Can I flash a custom rom to recover the phone ? If yes, then please give me the link to the rom which I can flash via odin. Thanks.

Try flashing stock rom from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com
You may need to become a member(it's free) to download. Once you download the rom for your region and device, unzip the file and flash the .tar.md5 file in odin

thanks. but i tried it. no luck to me. i think board is gone
Does it even go to recovery? Does it even go to download mode? Please post the error in ODIN or the error on the phone screen because the "board is gone" is too little. We are trying to help you but you don't give us enough information.

EMMC Brick Bug takes another phone down. Unfortunately the EMMC is dead. You can try and take it to a specialized repair shop and have the EMMC replaced. But it would probably be very expensive. Download mode works because the SoC actually boots for download mode, EMMC is not accessed. Nand erase all is useless in this case, and Kies doesn't know what to do.

It will work normally, but make sure to take an i9300 motherboard for the normal S3 and an i9305 motherboard for the i9305. And also make sure to not damage anything. And not loose any screw (lost one already and regret it).
The IMEI will be different (if you have the box) but other than that, make sure the motherboard is tested, works 100% and doesn't have any problem.
Don't forget to push the tanks button just in case

how to change IMEI.... i wish to put my old IMEI ( in Box ) any option??
Very tricky, may not work and it could possibly blacklist both the IMEIs. Generally, IMEI copying is done using specialized programmes, but it is not generally both allowed, practical and in some parts, or global, ILLEGAL.

Kabooot - it looks like your /efs folder is corrupt. If you have made a backup of that folder, you can try restoring it. There are some pointers on this thread.

thank you for your reply
If following all that stuff from the link does not work (I hope it does!), then you might try to flash a firmware with Odin, and select the option "Phone EFS Clear".
NOTE: I am not entirely sure this is safe!
But when I had the EXACT same problem you are having, I reflashed my phone like 20 times with many different firmwares, and a few times I selected that option. Then one time... just randomly... my phone started working, and I even got back my original IMEI and stuff.

I think he is a young kid & may not have a lot of experience/patience of many of us here, I think some patient soul here can guide him to flash an official ROM over Kies. I think Kies can see the phone in download mode & can update the firmware.
Have you solved your problem yet?
So a few hours ago, i tried to flash the value pack (XXKQB) ROM on my Galaxy S Plus,it started normally but sort of freezed on ˝setupconnection˝
The phone was still in download mode,and after about 20 minutes of siting there,restarted the phone since nothing was happening, and it´s safe (for now ).
It should look like this,right?(see attachment)
__________________________________________
WRONG VERSION OF ODIN heh,silly me
looks like the pic didn´t upload succesfully
I have no idea what you are doing . How did you set up Odin? did it detect your phone? Have you closed all Kies applications? You could post a link to the thread you got the download from... (Did you ask the thread where you got the download from?) Why is there only one file? Is it meant to be like that? (I know some roms can be zipped/tarred so you only need one file but is this that sort of file?)
The list can go on and on. Please provide more information... What is the status of your phone now? Can you boot up to your home screen or are you stuck at soft-brick screen? I ask this because i don't understand what safe means. I would consider a soft brick safe because i know what to do when i have one... Re-flash!
So to that image. I am assuming this is how you set up odin BEFORE you connected your phone. I would suggest tick re-partition, this WILL factory reset your phone. A suggestions not always necessary, read the thread. If you are on GB already then i don't think you need to. Also usually you are still required to have a .pit file. (I haven't flashed via odin in a long time, so things may have changed) Check you don't need one.
Finally sometimes when i flash via odin, it get stuck i think at the same point you do. I have to unplug and take battery out. If i boot up i get two symbols with a line of some sort in the middle. In this case i go back to download mode and re-flash and it flashes correctly this time.
Sorry for the long message its just the more information the better and quicker people can help. Hope i helped, if not please provide as much information as possible

Replace Odin, and install the files as in the screenshot, the debug mode on the phone, turn off your phone, enter in the flashing mode after 3 buttons.

like other people already explained you in the kernel thread... you hard bricked your phone and there is nothing you can do besides giving your phone to service (i guess u still have warranty).
it's so stupid people flash blindly everything without knowing what they are doing.. a little bit research (sgs+ wiki for example) woudl have helped you out.
I already said what you can try and btw shouldnt be in Development Section

Try getting into download mode, if it doesn't boot in, then try getting a USB-JIG, If it doesn't work after that, Then you've got a "Hard Brick". All you can do is go to the repair center.

You should not flash if you are uncertain source. Bananause not release anything that is working yet so you should check everything twice before I started to flash. I'm not sure that he knows what he is doing.
You should never flash a zimage. Boot.img is the correct one
and here is a link to the jig.

No one here can help you, your phone requires specialised Hardware fixing tools in order too restore the broken firmware, you must send it to a service center if you want it fixed.

Well oneclickunbrick will run in Windows also, it would take your phone to download mode so you can go on with Odin
Otherwise if that doesn't work I think you'll need to go to repair service

i did it with heimdall-cleanui, i think it was on GBT or GRT or GPT or something like that
i guess that was a huge mistake,
I found something intresting were some people can get into Download mode with a 301k Ohm resistance and a micro usb cable, but that was for the S3 and im not sure if that can work.
i would put the instructions here but i dont know if you understand german

If I understand it correctly, this 300k resistor trick is the same as a USB jig, and should work on the S3 mini. It may be worth a try building one is you can find instructions. Nothing to lose!

Oh that is same which I did you flashed it on mbr, gpt now your phone is completely dead .if you unbrick it you will get other problems like no imei etc the best solution I suggest is to take it to samsung and claim it in warranty.DON'NT DO ANY THING BY YOUR SELF BECAUSE WARRANTY WILL AVOID AND SAMSUNG WOULD NOT ACCEPT IT.

Restoring you efs would not restore your imei because novathor phones don't save their imei in efs I restored it many times but my imei doesn't came back so give to samsung they would give a new phone for free .don't tell them anything you did just say it was running fine and suddenly bricked.
