Flash from recovery.

You will be asked to chose a modem/baseband. Just chose anyone. You change that modem afterwards;

For the baseband/modem, make sure you know which is the modem for your country. Download it and flash from recovery (CWM) or ODIN. From here

Sorry man, i doing my best, im 24/7 trying to solve this, im sleeping 4-5 hours because im up till 4 or 5AM doing whatever i can do. This issue is really driving me crazy and im from Argentina wich means that my native language is not english so maybe i don´t understand every single detail of what you´re writing. I think i did it correctly though, we can do it together via Skype if you want and then we will be sure that im doing it correctly. Really any help will be really apregiated and if i can make it, if i can recover my imei i´d be the happiest men in the world. i´ll make 500 efs folder backups.

Also if i were in the us, i´d be buying a Nexus 6 for myself, so if you want to buy me one and send it via FedEx or UPS or whatever will help too, i can pay it haha.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chainlink:
You can do this through Xposed. I've attached the installer below for you. Make sure you have allowed installation from unknown sources (Settings > Security > Unknown Sources).

Install the attached apk file onto your device. Once you've done that, open the the Xposed Installer and go to "Download". There are several modules that allow this functionality, but the most simple of those available will be "Advanced Power Menu".

Install the module you feel best suits your needs and you'll notice a notification will appear prompting that the module is not yet activated, simply tap "Reboot" on the notification and it'll activate it for you.

Once rebooted , you can then go into the module you've installed and customise your power menu from there.

Another great module for Xposed is Wanam Xposed which I highly recommend. GravityBox is also a good one which allows you to add the screenshot and screen recording options to your power menu.

Hope this helps.

Perhaps formatting the /system partition and a clean re-install would be worth a shot? It's possible that during the failed installs (I assume numerous ones) the system was flashed through but the remaining files were not, resulting in a failure, but your system partition still being occupied with numerous attempts worth of files (Especially for 9GB!).

I had this when I tried installing TeamUB's build on a lower recovery and after numerous attempts found out my system partition was being eaten up and that I needed an updated recovery.

Hope it works out for you.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawaiihemd:
First of all, that is the wrong thread for your Version of the GS3. Make sure to read carefully! That Version of CF-AutoRoot IS NOT for the GT-i9300 and most probably caused the issue.

Second, when flashing anything via Odin, make sure KIES is NOT running somewhere in the background. Easiest way, just uninstall KIES. When fiddling with your gadget, you won't need it again anyway...

As suggested, try to recover by flashing stock Samsung software via Odin and root again with the appropriate CF-AutoRoot.

Failed root, how to fix my soft-bricked phone?

I am a total n00b at the whole root process and gave it shot because I am living in China and lost my phone from home. I bought the GT-i9300i running 4.3 here in Shanghai and followed the chain fire method posted on this forum. Now, my phone is stuck in download mode. Odin still recognizes it and I can turn it off and on but I just get the "Downloading...." screen and a message in red in the upper left that says "Could not do normal boot. ODIN MODE." Tried taking the battery out, etc and no luck. My question is, is the Chinese version of this phone different than the International version?
