Zip downloads - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Im new to the s3 and i downloaded 2 zips but cant find them. Im coming off a sensation and i know when i downloaded a zip i would use root explorer>sd card>downloads> then copy and paste the zip and move back to sd for flashing.
if i open my download app in my s3 i see the zips, and even tried an external card reader and saw them but i cant find them on my phone to flash. So where would they be? I wanna flash....

Root explorer>mnt>extSdCard

Did you download the zips from xda or the web?

XDA.

To clarify, /mnt/sdcard on our phones is the internal storage, /mnt/extSdCard is the external (MicroSD) storage.

Flash this cwm, ZedoMax gets the cred for this as I was having the same issue. Install from sdcard is your external and install from internal sd card is.......well obviously your internal.

What do you mean copy and paste? How?
Copy and paste. Find the rom in your files, copy the zip and paste it in your SD card.
Stock ICS on my S3

Thanks for the reply' but how how do i copy the rom to my phone first? Once i got on my phone, what tool do i use to copy/paste it into /sdcard?
Wow, if your asking this, you might as well start reading how to unbrick your phone, I think it's inevitable.

Fair enough, don't rush into anything then. Read, read, read..... Plug your phone into your computer, click in the downloaded rom, drag it into your internal sd card (phone) or your external card (micro sd) reboot into custom recovery, wipe, then flash rom, then reboot

It might seem like a lot of reading and info at first but if you are interested in flashing roms it's worth it to avoid turning your device into a brick.
To respond to your op I use es file explorer to copy files from pc to device via lan shares.
Flash rooted stock firmware via oden on your pc. Install custom recovery (cwm I find works best for stock and asop or aokp over twrp) and make sure you do a backup (nandroid) and IMEI prior to flashing a Rom.

I installed cm10. And it messed up my directories. How can I just start over as if my phone exchange is newly rooted.

By messing up, do you mean a "0" folder that appears in your sd card?

Find the stock file which I think Is in one the development sections and extract the zip file and open Odin and select the extracted .tar.md5 file, then it returns to stock

I did that but nothing shows up on internal sd card when I try to install something. I actually deleted the 0 directory. I odin'd it to stock, but internal sd still looks the same. Is there a way to return it to the way it was before I rooted it????

This happens when people don't read before Modding. This has been a known issue since 4.2.1 came around and there are workarounds posted for this

Basically all the 10.1 tons create an emulated ad card and place all your data from your original sdcard into a 0 folder inside that emulated apace. In order to fix it. You copy all the items inside the 0 folder and move them to the outside which would be the root . if you restore back to stock you would still have the 0 folder . so just move them from 0 to internal sdcard and then delete the folder. If you deleted the folder you are actually deleting you actual files and not copies of them. There are other suggestions and that's where people suggested teaching through the forums.

Just don't delete anything without making sure you have all your files copied. Or even better copy them to your computer.

Did you use a aosp rom? If so get the revert sd fix in the aokp op. Aosp now emulates the internal sd and puts it in a folder named 0

I have the same problem right now.
In my case, there was a file called "0" in my internal memory, when I opened that file, it was just a double of my internal memory.
Me thinking it was just space being wasted on my phone deleted the file.
So now in TWRP my internal memory doesn't come up for downloads or flashes, but I can still see my internal memory in file managers.
Quite weird, I just concluded to flash things from my external memory lol.

[Q] Exists a fully working way to install apps on external memory?

I have a 32GB microSD installed in my phone and I'd install apps (such as games that need to download many gigabytes of data) on it instead in the "little" internal memory. I tried memory swap mod that swaps the internal with external memory but I have some issues...
Directory bind works very well on 4.1.2 but if your on a 4.2 rom you'll have to use folder mount. Both just move the data to your memory card rather than the app

You could use gl to sd root from Google play
