so as a crappy turn of events i bricked my gs3. no signs of powering on. cant boot it into download mode or recovery mode. no sign of screen coming on at all. when i hook it up to my computer it makes the sound that recognizes the phone. but it shows it as a unspecified device... if i can possibly load the drivers back on there i might be able to do something. but everytime i try fix the issue it keeps saying cant find the correct driver for it.... anyone know if i can find the correct drivers, or know where to find the correct drivers.. try to install them and see if i can get my phone recognized by my computer??? thanks for the help..
 
Did you try to flash something you wasn't suppose to flash? anyways don't worry your samsung galaxy s3 is covered by samsung for a year look online for a tech support number and tell them your phone dont want to turn on they will have you try several things then finally they will send you a prepaid postage so u can send them your phone and they should have it fix within 2 weeks. mean while u will need a backup phone to use. now if you recently just got this phone u could take it to corp and they might exchange it but if its older than 30 days call samsung tech support.

or if it is still under the warranty of 30 days. you can return it to the metro store you got it from, tell them it doesn't turn on for unknown reasons & they should give you a replacement. ^_^
 
I also find it odd that your computer noticed the phone AT ALL
Even if it is "unrecognized device", since you said it won't power on.
Have you tried a battery pull, and can confirm the phone is not just stuck on some BSOD mode?
