How to Recover and Fix Bricked Samsung S3?

You know what a brick is in the Android world? No, well it is a device that is not functioning in any way, one that doesn’t even turn-on. So, nobody likes to own a brick.

My girlfriend did an over the air update of the firmware on her perfectly fine and functional Galaxy S3. The update reached 100% and rebooted but hung at the Samsung logo forever and continues to do so.

The phone is able to start in the recovery menu (vol up, power and home) and also the download menu (vol down, power and home).
So far I have tried:

1. Wiping the cache and rebooting
2. Factory reset and rebooting

Neither of these helped and the phone still does the same thing.

Unfortunately, according to those who had tried to unlock the bootloader, root or update the S3 with a custom ROM firmware, in many cases the Galaxy S3 got bricked.
