I9300 Bricked

Hello. I have bricked Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300, International. I can't boot to system or recovery. I can only access Download mode.
When I try flashing something with Odin I get NAND Write Error. I tried Different Odin Versions, Cables, USB Ports, ROMs, etc. Nothing Worked

CSC - idk, because bricked
Carrier Lock - I am not sure, Boot animation from T-Mobile, but any sim works.

Thanks
 
I think motherboard is toast with NAND write error.
Have you tried flashing a custom recovery like TWRP?

Well. Recovery, Custom Recovery, PDA rom, Full Rom, PIT gives error....
When I try to turn on the phone it stays at batterry with spinning icon.

I Don't think motherboard is fried, just the flash memory.
 
Long long time since I had the s3 but from experience it's ****ing hard to fully brick it. I'd assume it'd take flashing another phones firmware with Odin. I'm trying to think of how to get out of the soft bricks like I did many times. Can't guarantee I can help as it's been a long long time but any chance you could write step by step how you're flashing. It could seem perfect to me or maybe the guide you've used is a bit dodge.

So. I tried many different ways of flashing/connecting but all failed. Mostly I used:

Turn phone to download mode
Connect to pc, where Odin is started
Add rom & start.


As I said, I tried also connecting then starting odin, connecting without pressing volume+, etc. Thanks
