assuming FW = firmware and hrs = hours

go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and get the latest firmware for you phone....and flash via Odin as PDA.....

after you successfully flashed it enter stock recovery and do a factory reset and wipe cache....and it will boot up after 3-4 mins nicely....

yer sir you can... i currently do it...got firmware from another carrier that the one i got subscription

here is the right firmware for you: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=23453

after flash it, you might get a bootloop. if so enter recovery and wipe data/factory reset and wipe partition cache...

it looks like it tries to write to a partition that has some problems....
try to repartition your phone using a PIT file : http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305/info-i9305-pit-file-flash-analysis-pit-t1950591

but i haven't tested this and i don't know if it works.... knox counter is at 0x0? if yes send it back to warranty...if not try flashing it with that PIT...it will remake your partitions....if that doesn't work i suggest going to a specialized service and let them have a look...they will tell you once they will found the problem if it is worth repairing it....cause we ran out of ideeas...
