Hey guys, I'm new here and im really new to Android, i decided to switch over from apple because they are lame... I bought a samsung galaxy s3 AT&T 16gb, roughly 2 n a half weeks ago. I was looking at the OMEGA rom and i read that i had to be rooted first so i tried to root my phone and when i used odin, it said my phone was incompatible with the root file. I then unplugged and tried to reastart my phone but it put me at the recovery screen that says i need to plug my phone into kies for restoration, i did that and my phone wasn't detected... It wouldn't let me start the phone back up and the only thing i could do was the download transfer... I then tried to fix it by doing this ...

I open odin and used that tar file and it said everything was successful, and that my phone was reastarting, but it started up to the words Samsung and turned off... It won't power on for the reset volume up+ home + power. It starts to start up once i do those keys but not always, and if it starts up it says SAMSUNG and at the top left there is a blue text ( words ) that say something but i cant read them in time and the phone turns off.. I am still able to get into the DOWNLOAD mode but it also doesn't let me sometimes only if it's connected to the computer and when i hold volume down plus power it goes into the download mode. I'm really upset, i know it takes time to fully understand all of the techniques to flashing, roms, and other things.. Im a noob and i really hope to get my phone working again... I really would appreciate if someone could help me out.. I didn't understand how to back it up and thats where i went wrong i should of spent time figuring it out but i didnt....
My phone is AT&T sgh 1747.
Please guys, help me out. I am willing to donate a couple bux for someone that can guide me through this process of fixing my phone and putting it back to exactly stock and brand new like out of the box from att.
Update* Those blue words in the right hand corner say Recovery Booting, but then the phone kicks back off again.
