Did an internal/external SD swap and now my SGS3 is bricked, sort of. I can access recovery but cannot download ROMs. Phone does not go any further than the boot-up screen/animation. Is this salvagible or ready for the recycle bin?

See if you can get it into download mode. If you can, then you can Odin back to stock with a stock rom.

If the first Samsung screen flashes quickly, but it stays on second, just reflashing your ROM or using ODIN to restore will fix it.

I don't have enough room on my internal SD card, that's why I think Odin is not working. BTW, my phone came back to life after I put a blank external SD card in it. Do you think it still senses the ext. SD as my internal? The only way that Odin will work is if I make a LOT more room on my internal. Right now I have about 450GB on internal storage.
