Hi Guys, I've been going through these forums for days and have tried so many things, but I still can't un-brick this phone, I'm pretty sure its a soft brick, because I can still get into download mode, but if I try to start the phone normally, I just get a white screen now :( when I enter download mode, it says "downloading do not turn off target" now when I plug it into the pc, odin sees it ok, but I have tried uploading new stock firmware, its my friends phone, and as far as I know its not rooted, now when I tried flashing a new stock firmware, it failed becase of something to do with the partition, so I read through these forums and found a thread about uploading a new pit file, which I did, and that failed as well, so I need hepl please guys, how screwed is this phone?? its an international Galaxy S3 i9300 on O2 :(

Go try the rescue firmware (search in general forum) but probable that the emmc is corrupt/damaged. If the rescue firmware won't flash then you'll need a new motherboard.

Mrao, GT-I9300_mx_20120329 pit file and I9300XXUGND3_I9300H3GGND1_I9300NEUGND1_HOME.tar from sam mobile pit file was from in here I think

Right Boomboomer, I have tried the recovery firmwares, there were two of them and I tried them both, but it just fails at the pit file and says it cant format the partition, is this the end? or is there anything else I can try?
