Do you know guys what happen?
I can go in to download mode but Odin doesn't allow nothing pass giving an error:
<ID:0/007> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/007>
<ID:0/007> There is no PIT partition.
Or when I try do add pit:
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)

<ID:0/007> FAIL!
<ID:0/007>
<ID:0/007> Re-Partition operation failed.

Do you guys know what I may have done? Is there any solution to this?

You don’t need Odin to flash something, you can flash a zip file from your custom recovery.

Ok you hadn’t mentioned it so I thought you might be able to.
A hard brick is when you cannot boot your phone into any mode.
From what I’ve read your case is called a sudden death (SDS), so try to search for it.

You need service repair seen many posts like this example >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/problem-white-screen-black-lines-rain-t2467459 << white screen is the sign of the complete eMMC failure I have not seen any posts that have solved this with a software solution.

There are in fact some cheap used motherboards sold on eBay.
If you feel confident with replacing it, all steps are explained in images and video.
Be careful as you may need to take off the rear camera from your old motherboard and plug it on the new one.

THis really should be in Q&A ...

Just kept tinkering around and fixed it. Was following a bum guide. Only needed in pda section and was putting in all 3
the fact you cant follow instructions like posting in the correct forum leads me to believe it wasn't the "bum" guide that is at fault

Cannot Odin from GCR3 Update 6

Ok, so i flashed the zimage eugene suggested and the whole sha-bang before flashing the update 6 rom. Tonight i wanted to flash something new so i thought...why not odin? ok so i try to odin and it buggs out on me. so i try again and it fails...this is what i get:

any suggestions on how to get my phone up and running again?
Did you try again?
Sent from my Winning Vibrant
many times...with re-partition and without it. when i do choose it re-partition it just stops at DONT TURN OFF TARGET and thats it.
Just keep trying. Try a few different versions of odin. Search around here for them. Odin went nifty on me a few weeks ago. I spent 3+ hours trying before it finally took.

[Q] White screen "Grey lines" bug again

When i came home my phone would bot respond to unlocking the screen so i've pulled the battery and powered on and then the screen was white and full of horizontal lines . At first i thought that there was something wrong with the screen connector becaus the scrreen lokked different when phnone was off charger was plugged in and different than normally turned on. But with hope i've tried booting to recovery again lines. but booting to download mode worked.
Then i've searched over xda and few other sites (mostly linking here)
I've tried flashing single file stock rom:
Code:
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..
<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/003>
<ID:0/003> There is no PIT partition.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
then i've downoaded mx.pit file tried with repartition and there was:
Code:

<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..

<ID:0/003> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/003>
<ID:0/003> Re-Partition operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I've pulled battery for 15 min ant the same thing happend.
I even tried updating via KIES in download mode but there was an error . in the begining of the update.
The warranty of the phone was voided few months ago.
Is there anything I can still do at this point (maybe finding proper pit file .... bit i dont know how to match it to my gt-i9300 16GB version)
Will someone better equipped will be able to repair it or i have to brace myself for the cost of a new phone (mainboards are as expensive ad used s3)?
is this what you have ?

[Q] Galaxy s3 won't boot, can go into recovery but no functions work.

Hello everyone
Today my phone randomly went into ***** mode and it didn't do anything when I pressed the home or power button. So I pulled out the battery and put it back in and started up the phone as this wasn't the first time that something likes this happend. But it didn't do anything. It just showed the Galaxy S III logo and that's it. So I tried to boot in recovery and tried to wipe all my data. But it gave like a thousand errors saying: Can't mount /cache/ ... Can't mount /sdcard/ etc... So I tried to flash stock rom with odin. It failed. So I googled about my problem and tried to flash the PIT (don't know if i'm saying it correctly) and it gives this error:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..
<ID:0/003> Erase...
<ID:0/003>
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
<ID:0/003> Removed!!
So after some research I found out about SDS (sudden death syndrome). It seems that my internal memory is damaged and I have to get a new motherboard or a new phone? Is there any way to fix this? As I can still acces download mode and recovery mode (although none of the functions work).
I had cyanogenmod 11.2 M12 on it, so android 4.4.
Thanks!
Try the rescue firmware from general forum, flash with the pit file that thread contains.
If that fails then downgrade bootloader to BLFB first before flashing.
If none of that works then nand is burned out, time for a new phone.
nope, none of the solutions you said worked, guess it's time for a new phone... RIP my $$$

Sudden death didn't be fixed in 4.1.2 ?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Free mobile app
Sudden death was due to a bug in the nand memory wear levelling code, the memory still wears out now -but not so fast.
