Hey guys, happened to talk to a guy named KAsp3rd today and he showed me a cool trick you can do on the SGS3, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439367 is his guide (i copied and pasted it and changed what affected us etc.) be sure to go and thank him on his guide as well 
The following guide will get you back to where you should be able to odin everything back to where you need to be. that means if you flashed an international rom and no loner have download mode, this trick will make it so you do. if you have recovery/download mode already then just odin flash. this is for people who really mess up their devices.
What you need:
Do you have 4.3 bootloaders? then you need our new and improved unbrick image!!!
Unbrick 4.3 image
Odin tar for 4.3
How to get it done:
Thanks to the following:
gTan64 for finding the fix while repairing their friend's phone.
KAsp3rd for showing me this and assisting me throughout it
N4ZTY for pulling the file needed to set this up

What you need:
- Bricked metropcs sgs3 (this is for teh white cdma one, not the blue gsm one)
- 16GB microSD card (all data will be erased from this sdcard)
- microSD card reader
- Linux Live disc or Linux installed (Should work with OSx as well however I cannot confirm as I do not own one)
- Unbrick Image
- Stock odin tar: http://androidforums.com/official-u...0m-return-stock-reset-your-flash-counter.html

Unbrick 4.3 image
Odin tar for 4.3
How to get it done:
- Boot your Linux OS
- Download the unbrick image listed in the Item's needed list
- Open terminal on your Linux OS
- Insert your microSD card into the reader
- Plug your microSD card reader into your computer
- Run
you should see something that mentions where it is mounted via /sdXCode:
dmesg | tail -
again where X is the microSD card ignoring the partition numbers as they should be overwrittenCode:
sudo dd if=/<path_to_debrick.img> of=/dev/sdX
I had to do this a couple times for the image to actually take -
should show approximately 29 partitions (IIRC)Code:
sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdX - remove the microSD card from the reader
- remove the battery and sim from your device
- insert your unbrick microSD into your phone
- insert the battery and down your power button
- reboot into Download mode either via adb or Volume Down + Home + Power
- follow the directions in the ODIN thread
