[Completed] [Q] What File Should I use To Debrick My Galaxy S3

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 From At&t Its the I747U I believe. I have Hard Bricked My phone By Trying TO flash Android 4.3 Using Odin and it didn't work to hot.
My Phone originally Had android 4.1.1 before I tried Flashing to 4.3. My question is What De bricking File Should I use one for 4.3 or 4.1.1? or What Should I do? Since I'm a Big Noob Any help or links to the right file would be appreciated Thanks in Advance.
My Phone is a
Galaxy S3
SGH-i747 Says in the back But I'm in the US so i believe its the SGH-i747u too since i think its the same thing
its the 16 GB model if it even matters
Another question for the SD Card should i get a Speed 10 with 16GB or 32GB?

Hi,
Since you have more than one question and also, to be sure what to flash....you can ask for help in your device section...
> AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III > AT&T Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Be absolutely sure you are flashing the files made for your specific device.....otherwise you can permanently brick your device. I'm not sure there's a "u" in your device model just because you are in the United States. Better ask about that for sure.
Good luck!

Hi, I can't seem to find any root techniques for the Galaxy S4 SCH i545 white 16GB Verizon running android 4.4.2 Kit kat i believe. There was a root previously but it was F**ked up because samsung did an update to my phone without asking me. So i am in need of assistance.

Hmm ... I found a rooting thread ([Tutorial] Rooting the Sprint GalaxyS3 the Easy Way), but it is closed as it seems that this method no longer works.
There a user ("Thecrazyone1") of the same device reported taht he could successfully root. Maybe you can ask (PM) him, how he got it rooted.
Here is the general rooting link for the Sprint S3: How to root the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III ... which seems to be very similar to your device.
You can also check the Sprint Galaxy S3 FAQ updated 5/27/2013, there is a linbk to a video guide for rooting.
Here is a thread about your device: S3 straight talk verison rooting/general questions..
And here is another one: [Q] How To Root the Straight Talk SCH-S968C Samsung Galaxy S III.
Maybe you can get better answers there.
Good luck !

Happy new year !

[Completed] Help with info with Samsung complete software reflash

My phone one is on stock firmware finally. In download mode it confirms that. It also confirms that current binary is Samsung Official. Do I need to worry for my phone getting bricked doing a complete software reflash in a Samsung Repair Facility? I'm asking because the phone says custom in about phone and I do know that it can mean just that the phone had more images flashed to it. I rooted with Kingroot about a month ago and since then I have been trying to get my phone like how it comes fresh out of the box. I have been going crazy since then and I'm posting this question now being that I will be able to visit one of Samsung's Repair Facility's in a few days. It's the Grand Prime with model # SM-G5030AZ. Please can you fellows who know much more than me help me with my dilemma. Thank you.

About another stock firmware
I don't have one more is it available anywhere and believe me I did the research. I think your first option is something I'll give a try but if it doesn't work I'll try the last one. Thank you very much for your time as it is much appreciated.

Hi there,
You'd be best served asking for help from the experts who own your device, here:

Good luck
