Help S3 stuck in boot loop

So with the broken phone ( in a boot loop), I have gotten Philz installed in it, but the phone has never been rooted. What can I do to get it going again?

Thanks
 
OK I tried installing Philz on the good (working) phone, And every thing looks ok from Odin when I installed it but I still have the standard recovery on my phone when I boot into it. When I go back to the downloader it says "CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (1 count)
I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks

Edit: Got it working,doing a back up of my phone now

Well after all that, phone still not working .... it suck on the samsung logo.

I googled around and found this video

I then googled again for the file in the video, found this:

So I gave that ago and.... the phone now boots!!!!

So I have it working now (its a clone of my phone), Is there any software you recommend to try and recover any deleted files off the phone?

Thanks
