You did this guide to the T? xda-developers - View Single Post - [HOW-TO] Unbrick your soft bricked Galaxy S III (+ bootloader brick)

When you flash the first 2 files in ODIN, confirm that only " F. Reset Time " is checked and no others. Also, make sure you only flash them in the " PDA " section.

i got it to boot up once today. it got to the main screen and even allowed me to start setting up broadband and my personal info but then shut off. I spoke to Samsung today and I guess i am going to send it back to them to try to work on it. i don't know what else to do with it, i cant find parts for it and i cant get the verizon store to work on it because i wasn't the original purchaser

That is promising.....it sounds to me like the battery is bad.

Did you get it working or send it to Samsung?
