Could I have bricked my Galaxy S3?

[AC Question]

I think i bricked my galaxy s3

i Wanted to install CM on my galaxy s3, downloaded the cm installer both on phone/windows, got my phone prepared and started the installation. phone got to downloading mode, installer said that it's installing recovery, then phone switched from download mode to cyanogen logo. on PC there was still "installing recovery" (on cm installer program i mean) then after like 5mins, cm installer said that it's preparing for installation, and seconds later "we couldn't talk to your phone" phone got stuck on cm logo. tried rebooting it but it boots to cm logo and doesn't go further, i can't get to recovery mode either, when i try to do volup+home+power combination it just tries to start normally and stucks on cm logo. i can get to download mode easily. i don't know what to do. downloading stock firmware ATM and will try to get it in with odin throu download mode ://

Pretty sure you're doing the right thing there. Odin should be able to fix it. You might also need the right (stock) gapps file for the phone if you want the Google apps back

If the phone has a locked bootloader (AT&T, Verizon), you can't put a custom recovery or Cyanogen on it.
