While I was trying to flash my phone to newer version of custom mod, I bricked my phone (Samsung Galaxy S3 for Verizon, SCH-I535). To debrick the phone, I've followed below precedure:
Confirm USB cable is not faulty.
Confirm my MicroSD is not faulty.
Format MicroSD to FAT32, then image Verizon Stock firmware through Win32 Imager.
Enter into "Download" mode on the phone.
Confirm my Windows 7 system recognizes the phone. To do so, I confirmed the phone enters into "USB Debugging mode". Window7 recognizes the phone as "MSM8960".
Confirm
adb
works and recognizes the devices.
Then, I ran Odin3 (v3.09) to see if Odin recognizes the phone, but no luck here.
What are some reasons Odin isn't recognizing my phone? What are some other alternative way I can debrick the phone (other than flashing the ROM through Odin)?
