Here is a stock rom backup for the Sprint G S III. I made the backup after doing a data wipe, so the rom is pure, no lingering data, ect.
Instructions:
-unzip the .zip file
-move the backup folder into your existing CWM folder on the S III internal memory
-restore in recovery
Again, this is a stock backup as some people need it.

Nice, know of some that will appreciate this.

How is this in any way a stock rom?

Give him a break. At least this isn't in development.
And he at least did something that could be useful until we get a real stock rom .zip or .tar

It's not, it's a backup. That's not the point, it's still useful to many users that have possibly screwed their device but still have access to recovery. Especially until something official comes out.
will there be a stock package on odin different than just the stock boot image? my phone is bricked for no apparent reason(see my thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731416) and flashing the stock boot image in odin does nothing. i Also cant get into CWM to flash my backup...

Eventually there will be, but a lot of people [to include major developers] still don't have the phone yet, so we'll have to be patient. I looked over it, though currently are you able to get into recovery still or no? Additionally did you try re-flashing the cwm recovery in odin?
I can get into download mode but not into CWMR. The only thing i have tried flashing since it bricked is boot-stock-sprint-sph-l710.tar (which sort of worked the first time). I'm at work and don't have my phone on me so i guess i could try flashing CWMR again later but this is really weird. Thanks for the reply. This is my first Sprint phone, but on my Droid X we had a program similar to Odin where you could push a .sbf file that included everything stock and basically just reset your phone to stock. Do these exist for Sprint phones? The . SBF files were usually rather large(around 350mb or so) but the boot-stock-sprint-sph-l710.tar is around 10 or 15 mb so i know it doesn't include all the system files...
Thanks again

Lol i just replied the same thing over on another thread he posted in. Stop jumping around pizzle! if you can get into Odin chances are good you can flash cwm and then restore the backup
hahaha sorry about that. When I try and boot into recovery it looks like its about to go to Recovery and then freezes on the Galaxy S III screen. I'll try reflashing CWMR when I get home...Thanks for the advice
So is a back up a nandriod?
I have made a few but never resorted one, you just flash it same as a ROM and your done?
I misplaced my stock nandroid when I flashed CM10 build 2 and my extFs SD card had to be formatted to use again, I was sure I had in on PC but can't find it.
Thanks!
This has become quite infuriating.
I was on The Hybrid 1.3 when by phone was randombly freezing. I needed to pull the battery to reset it. This caused ALL of my apps to lose their data. (Facebook was logged out, netflix was logged out, Titanium backup lost its direction to the folder on my SD card)
I thought this was odd, so I downloaded another ROM to try and fix the problem. I downloaded the new rom and went into recovery. Flashed new rom, cleared cache, cleared dalvik, but then as I tried to do a factory reset in CWM my phone resets and comes back to recovery. This happens every single time I try to do it in CWM.
ROM booted fine but has many wierd problems (probably that go with being unable to factory reset)
So i downloaded TWRP and tried flashing that by odin, only to get an unfixable bootloop.
So odin'd back to CWM, factory reset problem still persists.
So at this point I decided to go back to stock and turn this phone in because there is no reason it should be doing this.
And now my frustration about trying to get back to the stock ROM. WHY THE HELL IS THERE NOT AN ODIN FLASHABLE STOCK ROM?! Or any rom for that matter.
In CWM i have to put all .zips on my external SD, because the internal one REFUSES to mount.
The .zip from HERE is not working for me at all. I try to flash it and it says it completes in about a second. I reboot and it just stays at the samsung screen and never goes any further.
I remember back with my Captivate, if anything went wrong as long as you got back into download mode, you could one click odin your way back to normal and start all over. It's like every thread in this devices forum is purposefully vague and confusing, things are not explained well at all and people talk about mysterious version of files and things without ever actually providing a link.
This is becoming a real pain in the ass to try and get my phone back to stock or even useable again. Does anyone have any ideas?
I just tried looking for you and wow, i didn't realize that we really don't have a flashable ODIN stock rom....

We do have ODIN flashable stock firmware...(stock rom, kernel, modem, recovery). go the Android DEV forum.. STICKY "One Stop Shop for Note2". In there you'll find everything you need. Look under section 5 "FIRMWARE". You can also go to SamMobile.com website... under "Firmware", and in the search box, type "I317". The downloads are "zip", but those are not flashable zip... download that file and use 7-ZIP to extract the tar (xxxxxx.tar.md5"). Use that tar in Odin. Follow instructions in sticky for how to load file/use Odin if not familiar.
T989 without any SD card in it, the one I had died apparently new one on order. Went to flash the latest PA rom but kept getting error 7 using CWM. I updated my recovery to the latest TWRP and still will not flash. I tried updating to the newest radio UVMC6, but that wont flash. I am currently on CM10.1 nightly. My process for flashing is recovery, superwipe, flash, which is when the flash errors out and I re wipe and then I can flash my CM10 back on. So I can flash CM10 all day long but nothing else. I searched on here and found that the ATT version of this phone has this problem and you have to flash an AOKP and then flash whatever you want, other phones with similar problems say use ODIN and flash stock and then go from there. I am just looking for any advice on this situation. I could not find anything specific enough in my search to help me and I am hoping someone here can. Thanks in advance.
Note: I have also tried flashing CM10.1 RC5 and has the same problems.

For onw those superwipe scripts are not needed with twrp, u might be getting the error from that, are u trying to flash from internal SD card since ur external died? That might cause it but I don't think so, I would suggest trying a manual wipe of all partitions, data, system, cache, dalvik, 2x , then flash, if that doesn't work try using Odin, go back to stock and start over, that should fix it definetly

Thank you... I wasnt sure about superwipe on TWRP since I just put it on and came from CWM. I am trying to flash from the internal card and the new external card will be at my doorstep tomorrow so I will drop that in as well. I will drop back in once I get all this done and hopefully all goes well.
Again thanks.

Got CWM back on but now I cannot flash SuperUser

Possibly a bad zip file?
Any ideas on this?
Quick update... I am a moron... Did not realize that root is kept with this restore... Got Superuser from market and am good to go.
Installing TWRP now and will have an update on the flash soon.
OK... the fun seems to have just begun
I cannot install TWRP from GooManager. No clue why, looking on here and I found //techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hercules (cant link too new of a member)
So as it seems I can download the .img and GooManager should see it and if that doesnt happen I can install it through the terminal with these commands
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
OR flash it with ODIN... Which I would assume I get the .tar file and follow the same process as putting the recovery files in?
Aside from TWRP being an issue, I tried installing the PA rom with CWM and I got this:
Installing update

I'm not sure what your overall problem is, but if you are going to install TWRP do not use Goo Manager or the img file. They have been messing up peoples phones. Odin the tar or try the zip from the TWRP thread.

Well that could be a problem... I just got GooManager to do what I wanted it to do before I saw this message. If I overwrite it with the tar will that be ok or am I better off starting this process over and Odin back to factory stock again?
Along with that after I got TWRP working through Goo Manager again I tried flashing PA again and I had the same error as I did in the first place.
Maybe my phone just hates anything but the nightly I had before...

If you can boot into TWRP, then they must have fixed the Goo problem.
It seems like you have tried most everything. Maybe you should Odin back to stock. If you are comfortable doing it, that is.
i went to flash with goo last night and it bricked the phone kind of, i had to ODIN and reflash the CWM again and bam the phone rebooted no problem

I did Odin back to stock before. I am still on stock gingerbread right now with root access and am getting the errors I have been. I followed the tutorials in the sticky thread that I posted before that got me back to stock.
Within TWRP I tried installing the newest Cyanogen Mod and got
E:Error executing updater binary in zip
Error flashing zip
When I try installing the PA rom I get the same error
Any thoughts? Would going back to stock through Odin and doing this again potentially fix it? or is that a shot in the dark?
Lucky for me I kept a backup saved on my PC from before I did anything here. So I am back to the CM 10.1 Nightly I started on for the time being.
Is there any other method of flashing a rom that I might be able to try?

It would be a shot in the dark. I did a Google search for your error and a couple of people said they were able to fix it by using TWRP 2.3. That was for different phones though. Maybe try that before going stock.
I am by no means a pro at this and am still learning as I go. Just to make sure of what I am doing, can I Odin TWRP 2.3? I also found this

Just a thought here... I keep gettin emmc errors... I was reading about upgrading and downgrading TWRP through the Terminal Emulator and it said use emmc or sdcard depending on what the phone reads it as.
When I first got the phone i recall seeing emmc when i would go into any file browser. Now it just says sdcard0 (internal) & sdcard1 (external)
So how can I get recovery to stop looking for emmc and start looking for sdcard0?
Unless I am way off in left field here with this.

Yes, use Odin and the 2.3.3.0 tar from the techerrata website. I like using the Odin method because I have never had a problem upgrading recovery that way. I don't know about the emmc errors because I have only used the dd method like twice.
Edit: Maybe your internal memory is corrupted? I'm not sure how to test for that though.

I think u must be getting bad DL then because none of that sounds right lol, if u got twrp to load into your device and all is working fine then the only other option is a bad DL, try checking the DL with a root browser or something to see the size of the file, status 7 errors are from the zip, usually bad install script in the ROM, which could be caused by a bad DL, check the DL size and let me know

I rooted my GS3, verified root. I am trying to flash ROM, every time I try through Goo manager and TWRP it fails I get error message "no MD5 file" doesn't matter if I download ROM from XDA (when I can find them) or download through Goo Manager. tried to even flash with ODIN, which only let's me restore to Stock ROM/Backup. which had MD5 file. when I try to browse for MD5 files I don't see them in the zipped or unzipped files on my PC, and not in ODIN either. I have verified developer options is on, and I tried with USB bugging on and off. and uncheck verify MD5 as well. I down loaded to pc and have tried to download directly to the device. not running antivirus on device and shut antivirus off on pc. will not copy files from pc to device. Device also stops or seems to loos connection on pc via USB Cable. What am I missing here? this is not rocket science!!
Have you verified MD5 of the ROM? Also, another suggestion, perhaps try to change recoveries from TWRP to CWM. However, you mentioned that you can't even download the Rom to your device? I assume you're able to browse the device's content since you used Odin to stock? Lastly, try to Odin back to stock, root it, flash recovery and give it a go.

Don't flash custom ROMs from goo manager or odin... Do your standard wipes, and flash from recovery. Maybe your recovery needs updated? What version are u on? You can verify md5 sums with a file explorer such as astro or there's even an md5 checker here in the forums. As far as transferring files from PC to phone, is your USB cable good?

I have tried CWM as well. for some reason none of the ROMS no matter where I download from seem to pull the MD5 file, liquid smooth, paranoid 3.69, carbon, none, I try to browse the device for them and nothing. But I can't seem to even do my first flash! I noticed in any of the ROMS I download for some reason it does not pull the MD5 file. I have downloaded from here XDA and other sites, and android forums too! I don't get it. This should be fairly easy according to all the research I have done even before my first attempt. I can root no problem, I used Odin and Samsung GS3 Tool kit.

The Roms should not be that hard to find and as stated you NEED to verify the MD5 before installing. Thats the long weird numbers/letters in the download sceen. A bad flash is a headache. To double check, you are doing (in CWM or TWRP) wipe data, then wipe cache, then wipe dalvick right? If you dont do those things its a dirty flash and will cause issues. Then in CWM in the install from sdcard screen, try to toggle the signature verification option. Also, sometime when you go from CM to TW and back, it can be a problem. Try wiping/reset from the settings-backup and restore-factory reset option for a super clean wipe. Use caution though as this will delete internal sdcard so back it up and put the rom of choice on external SD. This is a hassle but needs to be done on occasion. If you use titanium backup, copy to folder to external sd and change restore location in preferences.
Something I just found.
I have flashed custom roms to my padfone2 and everything was fine but when I tried to flash zip file with stock rom it showed no md5 file error.
I had a look into the downloaded stock rom zip file and I found out that the actual zip file with rom in it was in a folder inside downloaded zip. As soon as I extracted the zip from downloaded zip and flashed it everything went without a problem. Maybe I'm just stupid not to have look at that in the first place but I hope it helped others. Best of luck everyone.
Good Afternoon sorry for bumping an old thread.
I joined today because I am having the same problem that the original poster had written about.
I have an ATT samsung galaxy s3, I had root access, and verified with super user. I also installed TWRP and CWM because each kept giving me errors when I tried to install CM 11 onto my phone. It also says there was no MD5 information found. I have used the md5 file checker program and the MD5 matches up to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2518998
Download:
CM 11.0 Unofficial Beta 7 for d2tmo and d2att
MD5: ef93957db1e6704f23f9015231a82826
So the MD5 matches, yet when I try to install it keeps giving me errors. I also tried other versions of CM that I found on here via links. Right now my phone has no OS as another guide I read some where also said to wipe system data (sorry if that was stupid, I was just following a guideline)
So I'd like to get a working OS on my phone asap so I can get calls and texts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. And being new I'm sorry if I broke any taboos or did not give some information that is typically given when describing a problem.

I can't believe this, because I have downloaded and burned roms before. Now I cannot download a rom and get an md5 file nomatter what I do.
How could I in Odin insert a PIT file to remap my filesystem.
Is there one for the TMO S4 or could I simply use one from the gt9505?

You don't.
Remapping the file system is not a current mod and is not recommended to try. One of the 95xx variants had a remapped PIT file done to add a little bit of usable space. (You can't use that one. It will break your 919 device) The risk was high and the benefit was low. It's just so cheap and easy to buy a 32 or 64 GB external SD card that accomplishes the same thing.
I guess basically what I'm trying to achieve is for my phone to be able to install custom roms again. Randomly one day I was unable to install any, for it would just install a few apks from each CustomRom installation zip.
I've tried reinstalling stock and it doesn't fix my issue that most likely lies in the file system of my phone.

That is weird. Did you try to reflash back to stock using Odin? Or by flashing a nandroid of a stock ROM?
If using Odin to flash a stock image doesn't work I'm not sure a pit file would help. The stock .tar image for Odin contains the proper PIT file. So it's getting the PIT file anyway.
I'll try again..
I've tried coming back from Odin many times but I've noticed Odin is pretty sketchy because honestly most of the time oI get FAIL status near the end of stock installation but I keep going until it passes and I've tried going back from NAND. I was going to see this phone because no one on XDA nor me could figure out this tricky issue. Someone pm'd me claiming he has the same issue and I told him I haven't solved it yet. I think tomorrow I'm going to maybe try stock install and then wipe data factory reset after and then boot and then go back to download mode and install recovery and try install wicked or maybe gpe. Btw the last ROM I was running was Gpe by Kot49h danvd I think the name is
