you have to browse to wherever you downloaded it. first download a file explorer or if your on a stock rom my files and search for it. once you find it remember the path that got your there. now boot into recovery and follow the same path.

How can I go about downloading a Rom and put it on the SD card so I can flash a new one without having to go on my pc?

Just go the dev section in the web browser and click on the download link in the thread for the ROM you are looking for. It will download it to /sdcard/download/ copy that with a file explorer to the root of the sdcard reboot into recovery. Nandroid backup and flash away. That's what I do anyway

If I flash a zip on my phone and I don't like it or it doesn't work, is there anyway I can just remove with out reflashing

That is why you make a nandroid backup. You can't just undo flashing something

Only way to uninstall zips is to plug your phone into your computer and find the zip file and hit delete but it is best to always check the ROM out before you back it up get it set up the way you like then back it up but always back up your stock ROM that way you can go back to it

That doesn't uninstall anything, it just deletes it off your sd card. Like the other guy said, Do a nandroid before you flash anything because flashes can't be undone. you can flash over it but you can't undo a flash.
That's basically what I was saying

Not even lol. Deleting the .zip file is the file itself, it's already flashed to the phone. You could boot with no SD and still have your.zip flashed. Basically, you have to reflash the rom if you don't have a backup.

Haha that's nothing like u were saying bro lmao
@OP
Open the zip,
find the files it modifies inside system folder
Open ur roms zip file with 7z or similar
Find the needed files
Replace into zip overwriting with the originals ofc, follow the layout.
Put on SD
boot to CWM
Disable signatures
Flash zip
Clear cache/fix permissions if necessary, you haven't described what your flashing..
Reboot.
Done.
But if you don't make a backup of it and restore it's still on there?

If it ads files then yes technicly but by replacing the main files it wont be initiating only as the otigionals.. u can delete extras with a delete command in updater-script..
And yet again u didn't specify what you were "restoring"
Guess I need to be more specific lmao

Yes you can remove by deleting apk just like copying apk will install (as long as it is folder you have write access to and you restart the phone).
Also keeping a copy of any apk will allow reinstall later just enable non market sources in settings use file browser select apk for install while running OS and it does not require a restart to use the app by the way). You have to use app such as titanium backup to backup your apps settings and data though.
You can also un/install using adb
Adb install blah.apk
(Google for options)
As well. Just like if you copy apks in to a ROM zip (right directories don't just drop in root; Google if needed) before flash they will also install when ROM zip is flashed (may need to re-sign but these days that usually is not required).

Can anyone help me how to flash stock rom on Bell SGS3.. thanks/..
If you can find the .tar file of the stock image for Bell its very straight forward through Odin. I wasn't able to find one that's already made so you might have to ask one of our devs or fellow Bell owners to do a dump for you.

1) unzip file to get the .tar
2) reboot phone into download mode
3) open ODIN on PC, leave all settings default
4) click PDA and browse to the .tar file
5) plug in phone thru USB.
6) after ODIN detects your phone, click start.

done!

You need to update your recovery. Either use ROM manager or find the .img and flash a newer recovery through terminal emulator.

I'm going to upload it for you.
Here it is: openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-ancora.img
Complete set of images can be found here: http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/ancora
Easiest way to flash an .img file:
Download it and put it somewhere easy to find, let's say, /mnt/sdcard/Recoveries
Get Recovery Flashing Assistant and edit the script to point to the above directory
Run the Recovery Flashing Assistant script
You'll have TWRP safely flashed onto your W, and you'll also get a backup of your current recovery in the directory in step #1.
