firmware install fail with odin

[Backbeat72]

Hello,

Have a severely malfunctioning S3. Crashing/boot loop etc. out of the blue. Tried factory reset and resulted in failure/error.

It was suggested to get the firmware for my phone (S3 SGH - I747) download odin and reinstall (re-flash or whatever) the phone. Followed the instructions to the letter and I get this when I run Odin and use the firmware download:



I'm at a loss on where to make my next move. Any help would be appreciated.

Are you sure you downloaded the correct firmware?

Are you sure you downloaded the correct firmware?

This has crossed my mind because of browsing way too many articles about what could go wrong. This is one I used from firmwarefile.com

https://firmwarefile.com/samsung-sgh-i747

Sammobile.com was my first choice as they seemed to be the go to spot but I had to join as a paying member to download it.

I do know that the file I tried was listed as (Stock firmware) 4.1.1. I'm sure my phone was running 4.4.2 at the time.

Don't know if using the 4.1.1 would cause an issue (I figured it wouldn't, just go back to original/out of box) but maybe it does.

Thanks
