Do you know if your phone is soft bricked or full on Hard bricked?
i could try and help you un brick it and avoid having to take it back to the shop?

It is in fact hard bricked. Nothing. Will work besides a jtag. Trust me I know. I tried. My best chance is to get a replacement.

Awww, im sorry to hear that! The only two ways i know of fixing the hard bricked s3's are jtaging and usb jigs and if you're not up for them then i don't know! If you are still under your one year guarantee from Samsung which im pretty sure you get when you buy a phone off them then you could try claiming one back that way?

usb jigs are only for soft bricked phones!

Nah, I'm pretty sure USB Jigs are for phones that are Hard Bricked as well and won't go into download mode! The USB Jig Forces the device into download mode so you can Flash any firmware through Odin so they definitely should work with a hard bricked device! And if you are insured then you could just claim it could you not and say it just wouldn't turn on one day and hopefully they will just replace it?
