Do you know how to Odin back to stock? Follow this thread for it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853209
Then when you restore, only restore data under advanced restore.
If you used Mybackup root or Titanium you can restore your apps from there, otherwise you should download them again from the market.

I would suggest using this one:
Stock EB13 Deodexed EXT4 + CW 3.0.0.6
Most new ROMs need the newer clock work to flash them.

[Q] Run CWM backup with broken touchscreen?

So I dropped my Epic face down on the sidewalk yesterday and cracked the screen badly. The phone still seems to boot but is non-responsive to touch so I cant get past the lockscreen. I can also boot into CWM but can only see the bottom corner of the menu as the upper left quadrant of the screen is totally out.
My question is - can I somehow run a backup without access to the touchscreen? Either through Titanium or (even better) in CWM? FYI, I have adb installed on my laptop and have used it before with the phone but have VERY limited knowledge of how to use it. I am however, willing to learn.
If someone could even point me in the right direction I would be hugely appreciative.

Since you don't use the touchscreen to make a CWM backup it is completely within your abilities to do so.
I couldn't find a picture of the purple clockwork so you'd be able to have a bit of an idea where each item is without being able to see it, but this might help.

Thanks ! I think you're right that I COULD get it to work that way, but I would need more info. First, I am running the Bonsai version of recovery and so would need steps specific to that version. Second, I don't know what is on the following screens so would not know what to do next. If someone could tell me step by step like: press down volume 4 times, hit camera button, press down twice, etc etc... then maybe I could get it o work that way.

I don't have bonsai recovery and I'm not sure how many people here use it compared to the more universal clockworkmod recovery, you might want to head over to the bonsai forums and ask for step-by-step directions.

I responded to you on the Bonsai site but in case you read it here first it is Volume down 5 times and camera button twice.

Thanks Kenny. Did it but I don't think it worked. Oh well.
FYI, I think the problem is my phone now, not the instructions. I don't think I am even getting into recovery anymore...

Bell gs3 jb leak install (how-to)

I'm not specifically sure where I would put this thread, but is a tutorial on how to upgrade your GS3 to a leaked JB official rom
(Bell).
Note* External SD Card may be required, was the only way I could get it to work.
*Forgot to mention this removes root, so you will need to root again if you don't like this leak
Firstly, follow these instructions on using odin to flash to the latest firmware. All downloads provided in link. http://www.theandroidsoul.com/mvlalh1/
It is pretty straightforward and similar to other rooting methods. If you have a kernel installed do not worry, this firmware will overwrite it and restore all stock drivers etc.
**If you get stuck on a boot loop or the boot screen take out the battery and reboot recovery and wipe data/factory reset.**
Next you want to download the OTA leak here http://www.hotfile.com/dl/171511232/8603d3c/SGH-I747M_I747MVLALI-OTA-I747MVLALH_BMC_325174257.zip.html.
After download, place onto your External SD Card (can also try internal but did not seem to work for me).
Now go onto your phone and power it off.
Reboot into recovery (Volume Up+Home+Power. Hold all till Vibrate, then quickly release and hold again. You will see samsung logo with "recovery" in top left but its small)
Now you want to Apply Update from location of the OTA leak (cache did not work for me).
Reboot.
You should now be enjoying TouchWiz with Google Now and JB awesomeness!! Lemme know if you have any issues. Thank me if I helped you out pal!

BUGS**
Only noticed bug so far is a blue screen flickering from accessing the task manager quickly. Random, and nothing to worry about. Overall very stable.
Google+ is preinstalled, and runs in background and chews battery. Disable it. If you use it then you have to deal with the battery life.

Is this a new leak

I'm pretty sure its the leak from around September. I'm not quite sure how new but it works well. I had problems finding the leak so I thought it would be easier for some people if I post the link here.

Hard Bricked - can't get into download mode

I have a very serious problem. I've managed to brick my device. I decided I wanted to install CM 10.2 on my E988 (Taiwan version) but it didn't work. I rooted, installed freegee and also had cwm. I put the files on my sd card and then formated data, cache and dalvik cache. When I tried to install from sd card it said can't partition non-vfat. So i decided then that I would push the files using adb to my devices internal storage. I managed to do this but when I did it said installation aborted. It didn't have anything else in the log. At the moment I can access cwm but I can't seem to do anything with it. I can also charge my device but the charging image is missing.
When I try to access download mode it comes up with the factory hard reset screen which does nothing.I am at the moment downloading the stock image kdz file but I don't think I'll be able to do anything with it.
When I boot up my phone it still says that freegee is installed.
I got the CM rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439827
On that thread it says that you need to remove the first four lines of text in the updater-script file. However, in notepad, it depends on how big your window is to how much four lines of text is. Further into the thread, a user asked how much was actually meant to be removed and someone replied with all the way up to 'mount'.

Try, Remove battery and put again your device, hold Volume "-" and Home button and Power button, after display confirm put power button 3 time.

It's OK. It turns out that to get into download mode you don't have to press the power and volume buttons, you just have to press both the volume buttons and then plug in the USB

Sorry, that my guide to hard reset device.

[Q] Returned to stock, notification bar and on-screen buttons missing!

Hi guys,
Hoping you can help me here!
I decided to return to stock after trying a few custom ROMs, so followed the KDZ instructions to the letter, downloaded the correct KDZ as per my IMEI - D85520H_00.
I opted to perform a CSE flash as I was coming from a custom ROM.
All was going well until I went through the set up wizard. I pressed skip on the section to reinstall the LG apps and it just dumped me to the homescreen with neither the notification or on-screen buttons!
Sorry about the poor quality pictures, I can't even take screenshots on the phone!

I've tried a hard reset twice but to no avail, should I just try the entire process again? It all seemed to go fine!
Cheers,
James.
Edit: Forgot to say on first boot the wizard restarted my phone before I could do anything and the screen then wouldn't respond so I had to do a hard reset.
Edit 2: I've just re-flashed it, not entered any settings for data, Google Accounts, Knock Code etc and the same thing is happening

It happened to me. What i did to solve it was enter to TWRP and wipe everything: data, dalvik, cache, internal memory and system (This will softbrick your device so make sure your download mode is working because theres no turning back). Then put in on download mode and flash to stock.
Good luck.

Thanks for that I flashed a different custom ROM in the end, but I might give this another try later when I've got my motivation back!

I have the same problem except that i can't enter in download mode and i don't have twrp recovery. What can i do?
