Try flashing a diff ROM if it works then its the download if not then further troubleshooting is needed.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

definitely sounds like a bad download

This is actually the second rom I tried to flash.
First rom was miui and it said the something. I thought it was just a bad link.
Second rom was Tuesday and the problem reaccured.
I am beginning to think it's my phone.

How are you installing on your sd?

Wipe data then cache
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

are you checking the md5? are you installing it through cwm recovery and not rom manager?

Yup through the clockworkmod

hmmm got me beat.
you can try tdj's super wipe and wipe everything clean
you can try flashing a new CWM
try another ROM?
another microsd?
go back to stock and flash again?
if none of those works then yeah... don't know what to say. make sure to check the md5 to save yourself a lot of time

If you don't mind explaining, what's. Md5?

Are you installing the zip file on root your sd not in any other file?

yup. not from any folders.

oh sorry didn't see this post, but basically the MD5 checksum allows us to check if the file we downloaded exactly matches the original file
example (not real obviously)
Thursday ROM has a MD5 of 1234abcde
but what you downloaded has 2234abcde
that means you have a bad download. there is probably a couple bytes different in your download.
like both files can both be 300.1MB
but they might actually be 300.12 and yours is 300.10
THATS why md5 saves us a lot of time
NOT all md5 are listed, but thats the gist of it.
oh and remember your SDCARD card is
sdcard/external_sd/

That's the thing I tried a couple of roms and they all failed. So I'm pretty sure it's my phone.
In this case scenario what should I do to re root my phone. I know there's a couple different ways such as unrooting to sell.
So which method should I approach?
Thanks for all your help btw!

You don't need to Reroot, rooting is just superuser.. it just sounds like you need to get a new recovery that's all. You're already rooted right?
then just download Rom manager and reflash the CWM recovery in there.

Yes i am rooted. Can you link me to a site where I can dl a rom manager?

Also if you have an external , put the ROM you want to flash on the external sd.

SORRY man cant do that. I worked really hard to earn this cell phone and wont let it go for free. I bought it for a full price off the contract and don't think will be donating it. I am pretty sure people will be able to help me here. Its not like the phone is dead. Its working except for a few disruptions. Besides people are offering me $450 even in such a condition.

Nandroid Backup Error... Need help....

I am currently using ClockWorkMod Recovery 6.0.1.2. The last few times I have tried to backup a ROM, I get : Error finding an appropriate backup handler. This happens at the end of the backup after it looks like everything is okay. Does anybody know what this means and how it can be corrected? I don't like flashing new ROM's without doing a Nandroid Backup. Any help would be greatly appreciated.... Thank you!

You need to take that avatar down and put one up of Jesse "shizzle" would never come out of Heisenberg's mouth. But yes it is better imo and lots of others. Has a better track record with this phone as well. Install it through goomanager from the play store.

I agree about TWRP. Boyh are great in their own right, but I prefer TWRP by a longshot! Even has a built in file manager!
Don't worry, we were all nervous our first times!!
Seriously though, only took a few min and I was hooked!
On your problem, does cwm see both int and ext sdcards?
If it comes to it, connect to pc over usb and adb pull both /system and /data. Also internal sd.
At least you'll have some sort of backup and then id suggest odin flashing stock firmware.
Good luck!

its the one for odin, has bootloader, pda, phone, csc, those staff,
The one in the post I gave you should only be placed in the PDA section of Odin and you flash it from there and we will see if that works. Make sure you right click and rename the file by removing the .md5 label leaving only the .tar making it Odin flsshable

This is the Sprint section correct? Sprint phones are US variants right? My sig says I support the S3 and Galaxy Nexus right? Your signature says SPH-L710 right? Too many rights for it to be wrong.
If you sprint phone is not one of the new ones with the issue mounting storage then yes this will work for you. This updates your bootloader, fimware/modem to the latest md4 updates.

You downloaded that file right? When you boot into recovery click on flash zip from internal storage that's where it should be. Then look in the download folder.
When you download files you should be able to choose the download path, so that you know exactly where it's going.
I download everything to my external storage (sd card) then using root explorer I move it to my file system which I set up, roms, kernels, apps, mods, so on....

That's because you have flashed a 4.2 rom and your internal storage has moved to a different location. It's there you just need to find the correct path.
