Did you do a Nandroid backup before rooting?

Your EFS folder contains important carrier and phone information - Including the IMEI code. If this won't 'mount' you now have a bricked phone.

You may be able to recover from your nandroid backup - but I don't think it backs up the EFS folder (someone can correct me here!!).

What ROM are you trying to install? Did you follow all the instructions - Full wipe including Dalvik and battery stats - Most SG3 roms also advise a seperate EFS folder backup.

That's all I've got - I don't think you can restore a missing/damaged EFS folder, so hopefully it's not that. Try a different ROM and see if that helps.

synergy i just when back to stock again and unlock the bootloader and again no luck
 
Is it stuck on the first Samsung screen or the second (the animated colour one)? If the latter, you have to wait for it to rebuild cache (that I assume you wiped first).

What ROM are you flashing?
