I have tried to flash a custom kernel (Siyah), but it didn't work when I tried to use Clockworkmod to flash the kernel, so I tried using Odin and it seemed to work until it didn't boot up like normal. I tried the wipe cache option in recovery but didnt work, and i tried wipe data parition, and i think i deleted Clockworkmod in the process. And I also think it doesn't charge because i cant even go to recovery mode. Any type of help is helpful! Thanks.

Welcome to the forums!
You can't get into recovery at all?
Can you get into download mode?
When i try to go to download mode and recovery mode all it shows is the samsung logo and then turns off.
The kernel may have been incorrect for your device. I think you nay have a brick on your hands

Well, it said Siyah-s3-v1.9.1-CWM.zip as the file name and i had android 4.1.2 which said it was tested on. And with the possibility of it being bricked is there a fix for it?
You can send off for a JTAG device. Those help with restoring phones, but no guarantees.

Of to my knowledge. The device can be purchased. That is the extent I know of then.

Is there any other way? I dont want to send it and i dont want to buy another phone. Is there any fix with a computer?

I thought I had seen some guy that advertised JTAG services for around $45. From the little I know about it, it's not as simple as just plugging in a JIG and magically reviving the OS - you really need to know what you're doing, from both a hardware and software perspective.
Here's a brief blurb about it http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/37019/what-is-jtag-in-regards-to-android

You can't purchase a JTAG device. These repair services involve very delicate connections to the chips directly on the circuit board. What you CAN buy is something called a JIG. A jig may allow you to load the stock ROM via the USB port, bypassing recovery or download mode. Since your phone still powers up, there's a chance a jig will work.
Once you get your phone working again, you need to understand something very important. Not all S3s are the same. International versions (the i9300 series) have completely different hardware than North American versions. Trying to flash a ROM or Kernel designed for a NA version to an international phone, or vice versa, is pretty much guaranteed to brick your phone. And trying to use a ROM or Kernel for a different carrier version (e.g., an AT&T ROM or Kernel on a Verizon phone) will cause serious problem as well.
YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE WHAT YOU WANT TO FLASH IS FOR YOUR EXACT MODEL AND CARRIER! Just because it's for Android 4.1.2 doesn't mean it will work.

Just because someone should leave it to the experts to do this kind of thing doesn't mean he can't buy one.

This thread is why I won't mess with my phone. Nothing like having a $600 brick.
