flash this pit file with the 4.3 firmware

Can you tell me what's that? Before I flash them?
EDIT: What one should I flash? My device is 16GB, should I flash the first one or the three files? And sir if you can, give me instructions on how to flash them via Odin, do I have to tick anything or untick?

Okay, should I clear cache, factory reset or do anything before flashing again? Or doesn't matter? The last question

clear cache, factory reset after flashing. do not downgrade, flash with 4.3 firmware

Unfortunately with Android 4.3 came a change in the format of the EFS folder. This folder contains information about your mobile connection, wifi, serial number etc and is a very important folder.
Downgrading to an earlier Android version usually corrupts this folder and the information it contains.
As a result the loss of mobile connection and wifi is quite common.

Well, when should I factory reset and clear cache? Pull out the battery once the green android guy appears?

can you post a screen shot of Odin and the problem

Never mind I fixed the Odin issue, but I am scared to flash the pit file because I've just read about bricked devices because they used a pit file with their s3 using odin.

An error occured and now my phone restarts everytime I turn it on, 'samsung galaxy sIII' logo appears then less than one second it turns off and then on again. It's hard bricked now, right?

go to recovery and clear cache then data.
if the problem doesn't solve try flashing with firmware only

It's dead.. I can't enter recovery mode, only download mode..
I only can access download mode, what does that mean? Completely dead...?
