So i saw that jelly bean 4.2.1 came out so i wanted to give it a try. I flashed it and everything was gone, i reflashed back to 4.1.x. both are aokp. After that i read about the sdcard0/0 thing and i copied my cwm files from /0 to sdcard. I tried to recover it back to it was before i upgraded to 4.2.1 but something went wrong. it said error while restoring /system or something like that. I think what i did wrong was that i forgot to wipe everything before recovering. So now my S3 is stuck at the pink unicorn boot... Im unable to go to recover mode, download mode is my only option. HELP PLZZZ
You're not bricked..
If you can get into download mode flash a stock rom thru Odin.

-Get on a PC
-Run Odin
-Put your phone in download mode
-Plug in your phone so Odin sees it
-Grab a rooted stock ROM from the dev section
-Put the .tar file in the PDA section of Odin
-Click start the Odin processes
-Success back to stock!!
And begin flashing all over again
I might add if you don't understand advanced setting it think you might mess something up... Stick to just regular flashing

You can't flash Odin files thru recovery
You really know what you're doing right? Because it kind of sounds like you don't (no offence)
Odin a stock ROM
After you do try to boot up to the Samsung e3 recovery
Wipe your phone and reboot it
Give it time... Stick roms can take up to 10minutes to completely boot up..

So last night I was running Starburst Rom and decided that I wanted to theme it, so I downloaded the theme I liked for it, flash it in recover, but when I reboot the system it kept boot looping. So I figured that I needed to format it, so I went back into recovery and used Caulkins Format All zip, flashed it, then flashed the theme again. OUCH this time my phone would just show the yellow triangle and Samsung logo ( start up page). I can still go back to recovery but all my other Roms are gone so I cant even restore my phone or anything! What can I do? I used Heimdall to root, can I go back and re root again? Would I still get the stock rom? HELP
Download a rom onto an sd card and flash it from recovery. Format all wipes your entire system, you use format all to have a clean slate before you flash a new rom. You have no os now.
Edit: You could also flash the stock .tar they just put up in the development section, just make sure you read the instructions first or you could hardbrick.

You don't. You download it to a pc or mac and then transfer it to a micro sd card and then put the card in the phone and flash the Rom from recovery.

I have a computer, and I can dowload a rom into it, no problem, my issue is that I cant get this on my SD card due to me not being able to mount the phone in recovery. I tried and it wont.

The link i posted is stock. After thats done you can reroot and go from there. Make sure you uncheck the boxes in the instructions or you'll brick. If those options aren't shown then don't flash it. I don't know macs very well.

Let me research to see if Odin is Mac compatible but I doubt it.

Hey guys i'm new to the forums and looking for some help.
I've rooted my S3 succesfully and installed CWM as well as flashed the updates for it, but after flashing the CM 10.1 ROM i cant't seem to get passed the CM logo, the screen just stays black. I've been looking through the forums and managed to find some stock ROMs but for some reason Odin(3.0.7) keeps giving me a fail message every time I try to do it.
Please help me I would just like to start from scratch and give it another go, is there any sort of guide to just reset everything either using Odin or from recovery?
Thanks

I've tried flashing a few stock roms and they all fail using odin, am I doing something wrong? And i can't flash from recovery because ic ant access internal storage while its stuck at logo.
To use Odin:
Usb in the back of computer (#1 on a laptop)
Reboot computer
Phone in download mode (volume down+ home+ power)
Run Odin as administrator
Use a known good cable
After flashing back to stock, when you get hung up on boot:
Pull battery, wait 2 minutes, reinsert
Boot into recovery with button combo, factory reset, reboot.

Hello, so today i was getting a play market error so i decided to flash another recovery, as mine is the earliest versions of TWRP, so i went ahead and flashed it with Odin. It was successful, but wouldn't boot into recovery. So i went ahead and tried to flash another recovery and now it says NAND write fail. Is it bricked ?
It still boots to 4.2.2 AOSP, but i have no root so can't flash recovery.
I AM OFFICIALLY SCREWED !
After getting out of download mode, it wouldnt boot anymore. Firmware upgrade issue. !
I would say buy a usb jig from eBay. Much faster and cheaper than anything else. It forces the phone to go to download mode and from then you can go to Odin and flash stock.

Somehow i managed to get it into Download Mode, but i can't find any stock odin files. Can you help me please!?
Edit: I found it but it's 1.6 GB.. Waiting 10mins
Edit: Weird, but after trying to flash top 3 famous recoveries, they all failed. So i went back and flashed the original recovery and it succeeded!
Thanks for your help, i'll have to figure out how to flash a useable recovery now >.>

IDK how yours failed. Just a few days ago, I flashed TWRP after trying out the new CWM, and everything went great.

if you can get into d/l mode, you have it whipped.
Here's the TWRP 2.5.0.2 file:
https://hotfile.com/dl/230303459/7ce1553/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.2-jfltexx.tar.html
Install with ODIN.
Steps to follow........
Method #1 -
Place file in PDA box*
Uncheck all other boxes.
Press start.
When installation is complete, unplug usb cord and pull the battery.
Insert the battery but Don't turn on the phone.
Place phone in Recovery mode via the Power + Volume up buttons.
Method #2 -
The other way I've read to install TWRP Recovery is:
Place the TWRP 2.5.0.2 tar in the PDA box*
Check the auto reboot box and f time reset box.
Start the installation and let the phone reboot.
I believe Method #2 is the method of choice, but sometimes the Recovery doesn't take, so Method #1is recommended.
Here is an explanation why:

I take that this version doesn't have the bugs 2.6.o.o has?

Yes, use the tutorial in case you have an issue flashing the recovery, but I think you'll be fine
