maximdu, if you need to replace the NAND flash memory, you need to realize that the Samsung galaxy S3 uses a Samsung KMVTU000LM IC. The IC itself is widely available for ~$15.00USD, but the package of the IC is a FBGA and as such will require a reball. Unless you have access to the proper tools and the proper solder balls and stencils, this will most likely coast you more than a new phone.
