Alright I got it. Its strange on this phone. I found all the files by selecting install from internal storage. I'm sorry guys I'm used to the nexus in which you select install from sdcard

So I've been reading that people are having issues with flashing a ROM using TWRP.
They factory reset, wipe etc and when they go to flash...nothing there to flash? How can this be avoided?
I have ZV8 rooted and unlocked with free gee from the app store.
As I understand they factory reset, wipe dalvik, cache...but where are they saving the ROM to flash it? But at the same time I've seen others succeed. I'm not trying to screw up here and being patient....

I don't have issues flashing twrp. I usually download the zip on my laptop and then connect my phone via USB storage to transfer the zip. Then I go to recovery and find /data/media and its there.

Ya that's where it ended up when I dumped the zip from laptop to phone. If u did what I did it should be there unless u saved it some place else.

Factory wipe will only delete apps and settings. Any pics or video taken should still be there and stuff u download.

I want to fladh this rom but im skeptical. Do I flash this via CWM?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app. As you see in the attatched picture, is there a difference between the downloads where it says Here or Here?
No difference just different hosts to download the same rom version. You will have to flash it through recovery either through cwm or twrp. But I usually recommend friends to go with twrp.

I was using odin to flash cwm in order to root my s3 and instead of clicking pda I clicked bootloader and flashed it. Phone still works but in recovery it cannot mount the sdcard int or ext to root. How can I flash back to stock bootloader? I rooted before but by accident and in a rush I clicked bootloader and not pda. Please help thanks

Is it the recovery.img or recovery.tar file I need to flash under bootloader?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Can I just flash stock rom via odin? Someone surely knows the answer.

Freezas stock rooted thread, just adb sideload the md4firmware.zip file and flash.
I can't find a thread with that subject. Any link? Thanks

There apparently was some sort of update by sprint that kept cwm recovery from mounting sdcard and internal memory. There is a fixed recovery method on xda somewhere that allowes access so I then flashed the stock rom

I have done bricking my phone similarly a couple of times but ODIN saved me. I had to install the stock recovery and stock ROM a couple of time repeatedly to get it back to working state. Then, installed the CWM recovery and rooted the phone.
Cwm only worked once for me. Next time I went to used it it would say could not mount sd card or even the int. After reading on here there was a post about it and someone modified it so it would mount and could be used. Saved my ass lol

Are you looking in the right folders?

Where are you downloading from? From a browser it should be in the /downloads and from GooManager its just in /Goo (Downloads or Manager)
Your recovery has a choice for internal or external sd card.
