I was trying to root my phone for some apps and cool stuff, but then all of a sudden this message appeared and I couldn't use my phone! "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." So I tried browsing through and finding ways to reset my phone back to factory settings because it would not work at all. I came across a video on resetting, used odin and did it, and now my phone is a Verizon phone....wtf? I have a Metro PCS. My phone wont work anymore cause it cannot recognize the Sim Card. Can someone please help me using steps and simple language, I am young and do not know much about rooting....I have a white Metro PCS CDMA phone. Now I want to get it back to working status, back to the regular samsung galaxy s3 metro pcs starting animation, and back to a working sim card....Thanks for help in advance!
 
sounds like you used the wrong flash image file that you used in odin. You probably downloaded the verizon version of the S3 rather than the correct one for Metro's version. I'm not quite sure why your phone would even turn on. find the right file and then redo the process.
