what you was actually doing with your Phone. I mean did you try to install custom ROM/RECOVERY/KERNEL/MOD ..?

I too have s3 gt-i9300 which is working fine after replacing my motherboard because i came across SDS in S3.

If you are able to go to download mode than download the latest Stock version of S3 which is 4.3 JellyBean and flash it via latest odin.

Make sure USB Debugging is ON in your phone and your phone driver must be installed correctly.

I am giving you link to download driver for Samsung Mobile.

http://developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000117

Make sure before installing this software, all the other previous/old driver should be uninstalled.

I would recommend that you should try to adb to see your phone has proper drivers installed.

Just google ADB and download it. (put all file in 1 folder i.e adb)

now press windows+r to open RUN. In it type cmd. Now command Prompt should have started. (I assume that you put the folder adb in root of c:/ drive) Type the following command.

1. cd / - this will take you to root of C:/ drive
2. cd adb - This will take you in adb folder.
3. adb devives - this command will show all the devices currently attached on your system.

if you don't find any device that means drivers are not properly installed.

Try it, Hope this may help you.
