[Completed] How to Unbrick Sprint Galaxy s3??? /Make device visible????

I accidentally deleted the root to my s3 and left it unrooted, im not too sure what else I accidentally deleted but I've been trying to reroot it with it's stock firmware... But its extra hard since my computer detects the device but refuses to connect with it and does not let me interact with it at all (open internal storage). When I start it up, it only shows the SAMSUNG screen and then the Samsung Galaxy S3 screen and then just stays there.... I tried rerooting it using Odin3 but the connection from the phone to the computer failed so now my phone is stuck on the screen where it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." So i downloaded Kies but again, I cant access the device through computer so Kies says, "Device not responding. To resolve issue, reboot the device." Please Help!!!

Hi there,
I have a galaxy s6 SMG920F,

I downloaded a stock rom and proceeded to flash through Odin. v3.10 it got to the end and failed,
And now ii am stuck on a green screen that reads, An error has occurred while updating the software.
Ue the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software.
I have doen this twicem and get this error message, Failed to update due to an error. DO you want to run emergency software recover?......You must enter the recovery code from another pc. Please remember the recovery code.
I can still get on download mode, but apart fro that nothing, Including recovery mode vol up home and power.
Please help XDA, i hope i dont have a paperweight!
Thanks in advance

Galaxy S duos 7582 boot loop and unable to access recovery mode. help guys please

Hi Guys,
I have the Samsung galaxy S duos (7582) and I believe that my phone has soft bricked.
1. At first the phone will switch on only while connected to charger. Even if its switched on it will just show the start page with Samsung logo and phone model only.
2. I have replaced the battery and tried but it shows the same result. Doesn’t charged up but can switch on the phone (only to hert screen with Samsung logo and phone model) with connecting to charger e or PC.
3. The mobile phone is not detected by the PC, but the same has detected by odin. I have passed in odin but unable to access the recovery mode by pressing volume up+home+power buttons.
4. Finally I tried to flash stock rom with Odin and it shows Fail.
Appreciate your help.

Well you were saved. always make sure about the device model before flashing. anyways it's the wrong thread here. its not a big issue and don't need very complex method. just download the stock firmware you want from sammobile and flash it through odin.
