Help me accidentally super wipe without back up

Hi,Everybody
Who can help me
I rooted TMobile Samsung galaxy s 3,I was looking for jelly bean ROM for experience.
But accidentally I super wipe the phone without back up.
I don't have any back up files or data in an internal storage.
I can go back to recovery mode or download mode.
So I went to recovery mode to flash ROM that got in external SD card, it doesn't recognized external sd card.
There is anyhow I can flash with Odin or not?
Where I can downloading stock ROM in order to flash with Odin or
Anyhow the phone can recognize the sd card to flash the files?
Please help me!!!!
I would appreciated
Thank you for patience and your timing manner.:thumbup:

No worries. I'm just giving you a hard time.
Like someone mentioned above, just use ODIN to flash a stock rooted ROM and all will be right in the world again.

Do you know exactly how?
Need Infos.
I'm beginner and trying to respect your words.

In the development section read the instructions how to flash via odin.

This should get you through the process and give you root.

Unzip the .7z file you downloaded from that thread. You should get a .tar file. (Might be .tar.md5, cant remember)
Flash that with odin.

Stock S2 with ROOT and CWM Recovery. Need to return for warranty.

I need to return my girlfriends S2 under warranty. It is still on stock GB, with root and CWM recovery. What do I need to do to unroot and bring it back to stock recovery? Just ODIN? Got any links?
Thanks

Use search and you will find what you're looking for.

I did search. ODIN is what I think I found. Just wanted to make sure Odin removes everything, even the recovery.

Use Odin to flash a stock rom. It will turn your phone to original state.

Q) should I root my note 2?? Or does it avoid warranty?

I want to root my note2 but worried if I do so. N phone messes up. Will insurance on it get me a new one? Even if device Is rooted? Thanks. Im a new comer.

Any device you root VOIDS the warranty. Even if you flash back to stock a lot of devices has flash counters, which tell you how many times device has been flashed with custom roms. Make sure your device forum has the files to go back to stock and find out if your device does or does not have a flash counter. If you can go back to stock and reset counter then I would definitely root it.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app

Root Toolkit has the option to reset flash counter. But due to the risk of using it. Only use it if you have to.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

Don't root at all. Note 2 is perfect
If I helped out, hit the thanks button.

Rooting requires reading, research, and knowledge. If you familiarize yourself with the proper process and procedures, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to return your device to a returnable/warrant-able state. Rooting isn't for everyone, and only you can decide if it's with the risk or not of possibly damaging your device. Proper research is essential.

THIS IS ONLY FOR SPH-L900!!!
First you need to download this on your pc:
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyNote2/rooting/GalaxyNote2RootSprint.zip
You find 4 files in it.
Put Odin and Odin.ini file in ONE map.
Connect your phone to your pc and copy the SUPERSU zip file to your sdcard > download map
(first you need to install your phone drivers, so you can copy files to your phone)
Disconnect the usb
Turn of your phone.
Go to download mode (volume down + home + power)
You get a warning screen, press: volume up.
Connect your phone to your pc
Open Odin
Now you see a yellow box: COM, with a random number, be sure its yellow.
You need to unzip openrecovery-twrp till its a TAR file (be sure its a TAR file otherwise you get brick)
Press: PDA
Select the TAR file
Press START
Now Odin will start, if you see PASS you can disconnect your phonr and turn it off.
After that go to Recovery Mode: volume up + home + power.
When in Recovery Mode, press:
INSTALL
Select your download map and select: SUPERSU.zip
After installing reboot your phone.
Its rooted now!
Ps. Im not responsepal for any damage at your phone if you do something wrong.

[Q] Help please possible brick :(

Hey guys so i rooted my phone using odin and was attempting to put on cyanogen mod 10.1 when it failed and i restored to factory settings. then i thought ill restore to my previously saved backup and it stayed at the samsung screen that lights up behind the white lettters. now i tried going into recovery mode and restoring to factory and also tried clear cache and delvik cache. only problem is it still got stuck at the samsung screen so i then tried to reroot it on obin but since there was a binary count of 1 it didnt work what can i dooo

binary count wouldn't stop anything from flashing. after flashing a stock rom with odin again, make sure to go directory into recovery to wipe data/factory reset and then boot up the phone.

I got it working then I tried to put cyanogen 10.1 on and it crashed again idno what the deal is I put it on sd card and loaded it with root manager

root manager? or rom manager?
sent from my I747

Don't use rom manager to flash a rom. Odin back to stock (Samsung devices are special that way) or use one of the root injected firmwares in one of the stickies in the development section. Once you get set up, download goo manager from the play store (you must be rooted to use it). From the menu of goo manager install recovery script, you will then have twrp recovery installed. Then follow the instructions in the op for the rom you want to flash. If this seems foreign to you then Odin back to stock and stay there. If you want to continue to modify your device read and read some more. Tony stark has a thread with all the information you need. Just Google search.

It is easy once you do it once. First time can be overwhelming. I'm a visual learner so I found a YouTube video for the phone and followed it step by step. Now I'm almost flashing them in my sleep. :thumbup:
