Root [Boost Mobile] Soft Brick NO USB connection

I really need help here. I was flashing a .tar with odin 3.07 and the USB internally disconnected (made the windows sound) in the middle of the flash. The phone no longer will connect with the computer. I can still put into download, but when I plug it into the computer, it doesn't connect. If I just turn on the phone, it gives me a message:

Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.

In this mode, it is still able to connect via USB. I have tried to re-install samsung usb drivers, but nothing. Is there a file that can be loaded on to the micro card that does not require a USB connection? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 
Check in th S3 section of xda for your carrier. There may be. There are for some other phones that at least boot you into download mode so you can Odin something into them.
