OK, so for some personal reasons, I'm forced to sell my Galaxy S3...
I have CWM on it, and its rooted (obviously) running stock touchwiz rom...
Thing is, I cannot just hit the factory reset in settings because it's missing some apps like Samsung services, s-voice, etc.. stuffs that I deleted...
So my question is, How can I 100% Wipe the 16GB memory free of my personal data and perform a clean install of STOCK Telus SGS3 rom on it?
THanks!!!

1) Flash the original unrooted stock ROM from your carrier in Odin
2) Settings > back up and reset > Factory reset. reboot.
3) Turn debug on, and adb shell back in just to double-check that your nukular launch codes aren't there anymore.
And make sure your binary/custom flash counter is at 0.

DO NOT flash the AT&T firmware. Here is the proper firmware for your device http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162304546/3421015/I747MVLALE8_I747MOYBALE8_TLS.zip.html
Once you have downloaded it, unzip it and let me know what files are in there. It should be a .tar file.

It will remove everything and restore your phone back to when you first bought it. Yes you flash it with odin, it will not trip your counter since it's an official package.

One last thing I would do is browse your SD card to see that there's nothing there. I have not tried a factory reset on the SIII, but on the Captivate and probably other phones, factory reset didn't wipe every directory.
See this for the very few directories it did wipe:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152181&highlight=does+factory+reset+wipe+sd+card
I did a few factory resets (but not recently) and only once do I recall having to copy things back onto my internal sd card from the copy on my computer. Every time I did one, I'd backup my internal sd just in case, do the factory reset and finish whatever else I was doing like a new rom, and then see what had to be put back on. But other than that one time, my Titanium backups, pictures, whatever have still been there. I tried out a lot of different roms on the Captivate and even the "full wipe" versions left the internal sd data there.
That one time I did need to copy it back was I think when I tried out the secret code to do a real wipe. Although I can't recall which it was.
Hope I did the right thing,
I flashed STOCK .tar with ODIN, rebooted phone onto stock, mounted to my computer, formatted memory (the 11GB or so), went on phone, did Factory Reset..
Hope its 100% CLEAN Wipped !

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

-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..

If you follow my way you won't lose any files.
But you can backup everything via adb.

Firstly, before anyone can truly help you you need to mention your phone setup such as the Rom you're using, rooted/not rooted, etc.
If you're rooted and have a custom recovery then just wipe your system and dalvik cache partition and flash the same Rom again. All your personal files will still be intact.

I cant flash a rom and have it work. I have tried several ROMS like aokp, jedi, smooth, jellybeans, etc and they almost always brick. Jedi worked but google services crashed back to back to back to the point where i couldnt even use the phone. does anyone know of a 4.3 rom that works on att sgh-i317?? i basically went down the list on galaxynote2root.com and tried them all but no success.
I have root, have TWRP installed and flash the rom and it bricks. i factory reset first, then install and nothing.
any ideas?

Download your rom and gapps again using a PC...
Then place the files to your SD using a card adapter if no USB connection is possible...
Then fully wipe the device again from within the latest version of TWRP recovery and flash the new downloads ...
You may have a bad flash ...and you are not bricked...g

I did those exact steps and it did not work. i tried flashing pac man rom the last time and it got stuck in a boot loop too. I think there are some files that are corrupt or some temp files somewhere that are preventing a successful flash. my binary flash count was 9. and that was just on this run, ive tried flashing several times before. each time the only way to recover it is hooking the phone up to a pc and using kies to flash back to stock firmware. this sucks.
What version of twrp are you using? I have never had this issue you are having and I have flashed every rom on this forum for our device.

9 counts ??
Uh....yeh...not right ...
Have you messed with device partitions in ODIN ??
If so...something is definitely wrong ...
At this point ...you may want to consider a full return to stock and allow the PIT to properly restore your partitions..
Just follow the return to stock guide (sticky )...in the general section ..
Once restored to stock with a corrected flash counter you can begin again using CF auto root as your root method..
It sounds as if you have root issues and possible partition damage...
One other step you can try first is to boot into download mode and re-root using CF...
That may help....but certainly won't hurt anything...then attempt a clean flash again..
If it fails ...then the return to stock and rooting again seems prudent ...g

Ok ill try that. When I do the sticky method is that different than using kies to flash to stock? Kies is supposed to wipe everything and reload stock firmware. I agree the partitions are corrupt somewhere

Uh....yeh...not right ...
Have you messed with device partitions in ODIN ??
If so...something is definitely wrong ...
At this point ...you may want to consider a full return to stock and allow the PIT to properly restore your partitions..
Just follow the return to stock guide (sticky )...in the general section ..
Once restored to stock with a corrected flash counter you can begin again using CF auto root as your root method..
It sounds as if you have root issues and possible partition damage...
One other step you can try first is to boot into download mode and re-root using CF...
That may help....but certainly won't hurt anything...then attempt a clean flash again..
If it fails ...then the return to stock and rooting again seems prudent ...g

OK, so i followed these steps perfectly and it did not work. GOt Stuck in a boot loop again. something is corrupt. i used the latest version of clockwork mod and tried to install the latest AOKP nightlies. :crying:
Alright ...
Do you mean that you returned to stock ??
And have rooted again ...??
If yes ..we can dig deeper ...and if not ...proceed with full unroot...g

I used the sticky on turning your phone back to stock which used odin. I followed that list perfectly which said to flash stock using odin, root using cf then using triangle away, then super user to fully unroot. Then I installed clockword mod recovery, booted to recovery mode, cleared all cache and davlik and factory reset again, then installed the aokp and it got stuck in a boot loop

Here's what I do with twrp when flashing a rom.
Go to wipe menu and then advanced wipe and select dalvik, cache, data, system and internal(optional). I do it three times to make sure. then flash your rom with gapps (if aosp)
