It is inevitable for nearly all devices with heavy development that
the occasional mistake is made and a device goes down. This is commonly
referred to as bricking, and there are different kinds of bricks—soft
and hard. While hard bricks are nearly impossible to fix without OEM support, soft bricks can usually be brought back. With the U.S. variants of the Galaxy S III, there’s already a soft bricking problem going around. Thankfully, there’s also a fix going around.
We released a solution for users who accidentally soft bricked their
devices trying to flash a GSM boot image. The devices are brand new, so
there’s still a question of what works and what doesn’t, and flashing a
GSM boot image is apparently one of those things that doesn’t work.
Each variant has their own files, but the process is identical. Users
simply need to download their phone’s stock boot image and flash it via
Odin. This should fix the issue and restore the phone to working
status. It should be noted that these files are not factory tarballs
wherein this won’t work if you need to restore to a stock, unrooted ROM.
These fix only the GSM boot image brick issue. As stated, the process
is identical but the files are different so be sure you pick up the file
for your variant.
Anyone with a bricked phone from flashing the gsm boot image, flash this via Odin as a PDA.
It will flash a stock boot image back to your device.
