All right, first thing first. Thanks to everybody for this amazing forum and all support.
Well. Here's my story:
1) Planned on installing CM10 nightly
2) Went to recovery (TWRP v2.2.0) and by mistake wiped everything :/ (Cache, Dalvik Cache, Factory Reset, System Internal Storage)
3) In effect i wiped everything including system.
4) Still have access to TWRP and download mode.
Does anybody have a clue how to fix that and install CM10 again?
PS.
1) internal storage does not mount under system (WIN7)
2) TWRP does not recognize microSDXC (32gbz) formated to either exFat or NTFS. (Tried 4 (four) of them)
Should i buy another micro sd like 2gb, format it to Fat32 and drop CM.zip there ? Or need i do something else?
Very respectfully.
That happened to me I just downloaded the rom to a sd card from my old phone put it in my s3 and installed it.

Hey thank you for quick answer. Do you know if there is any limitation for TWRP? It does not read my 32gb MicroSDXC.
Go into download mode and re flash then stock rooted rom.
Then install your twrp and try cm again.

Personally, I would (try to?) use adb with the phone booted into TWRP to transfer the ROM you want to flash over to the phone's internal storage, and go from there.
If that's not a possibility for whatever reason, you'd be best off starting by reflashing a stock rooted image with Odin and going from there.
Well. First of all thank you all for all your help in support. Got it back to stock with root (Odin flash). However there is another small problem that i can't figure out. TWRP itself seem not to have access to anything. I mean it sees all / but after openning /sdcard or anything else all it sees is empty folders. It doesn't have an access to external sd either (when you check log it sees that it couldn't mount ext sd correctly [even if after boot to stock system it recognizes it witout any issues).
Any idea how to solve this problem? What has been tried:
1) Reflash recovery (TWRP 2.2 using ODIN)
2) moving all files to /
3) RootExplorer see files (cm.zip) after reboot TWRP doesn't
4) Installing GooManager (it crashes after granting supersu permissions)
Very Respectfully.
With all those problems, flash to stock rooted and start over. You will be better off in the long run. You may want to also format your external sd.
Don't flash twrp with Odin.
Rooted stock
Dl and use goo manager to get twrp
What about a stock kernel? Just my chime in

Allright small update.
1) ReFlashed to rooted stock (root66_ATT_I747UCDLK3.tar.md5)
2) Installed GooManager
3) Installed TWRP (using GooManager)
4) Downloaded lastest CM10 nightly (cm-10.1-20121218-NIGHTLY-d2att.zip) using GooManager
5) Flashed cm-10.1-20121218-NIGHTLY-d2att.zip from GooManager menu (FlashROM) - Wiped Dalvik & Cache
Now I'm stacked with CM boot splash for past 5 min hoping it just takes longer that it should.
Any ideas?
Very Respectfully.
EDIT:
Booting into recovery and performing factory reset fixes problem.
Thanks to everybody who helped.

GJ take it sure and slow. Other than flashing stock/rooting form Odin I wouldn't flash anything form Odin. Once you have super user on your phone, leave Odin out and do everything from phone
That's the safest route and it gets easier from here. The countless hours you spent are much easier the more you do it. Shouldn't take more than 20 minute to backup and flash roms and new apps from now on
Oh boy.
Almost done. But here are another tiny problems that just bother me and but I think they're solvable.
1) GooglePlay suddenly gives "No Connection" error, even though every other app that requires connection (Messenger, Browser) work just fine.
Have to mention that it worked for a while, installed couple apps (drop some more to install in queue and when I woke up - FAIL!)
Things done:
-Forced to stop
-ClearedData & Cache
Is there any other solution to fix it rather than reflashing gapps ?
2) The ExternalSD is mounted under PC as Internal Storage and vice versa.
When you click "Samsung -GHS-I747) in my computer it shows both with proper sizes but once you click them it opens the other.
No clue how to solve that one.

1. you are flashing a version of gapps that is out of touch with your rom or you did not flash it correctly/cleanly. I remember no matter how many times I flashed gapps I wouldn't get it to sync. Backed all user apps to Titanium backup. Did a clean install from scratch, and wallah it worked. Last sort.
Without doing that though there is usually one that is compatible that is listed on your rom page. Flash that one. For me that is 10/22 but I remember it giving that same error for a while so I ended up flashing the previously compatible version before that which was 7/26. Goo.im might help here, I haven't used it myself. Once you find a working gapps version etc. Store your 'safe' builds in one folder
2. Not sure what you mean. When you click your phone you should see internal and external storage on your phone. They are what they say they are. People tend to piss on not being able to find the right file size and folder attributes on this phones usb mount. It is a common problem. Probably one of the few problems on the phone. Annoying but manageable

1) Ended up reflashing gapps with goomanger (script to TWRP)
2) What i mean is that under phone it recognizes them perfectly. Just when I connect phone through USB to PC, my PC tends to mix them up. Just shows ExSD as Internal and Internal as ExSD. No biggy, just tried to fix as many tiny issues as possible before I hit deployment.
Very respectfully.
That is a known, and stated, issue with cm 10.1
I am not a total noob to this, as I used to root/ROM the OG Nook Color to death, but I have a few questions on what to do when going from CM 10.1 M1 to the newest M2.
On the Nook, I could put files onto the SD card for flashing after I wiped the device in order to install a new ROM. However, on the Nexus there is no such option. I downloaded goo manager and got the latest GAPPS and M2 zip, but if I wipe the device prior to flashing the latest M2, won't these be wiped also? I guess I'm asking what is the best solution for updating ROMS since I don't have the benefit of loading files to an external SD card.
Along the same lines, I also made a NAND backup of the current ROM and a titanium backup of the apps+data. All of these files reside on the phone itself, so should I move them to the computer first, wipe the device then load them back on for flashing?
Thanks a ton.

There is no such need mate! When you root your phone, you get "an image of your internal memory" - forgot the word for it xD
So, when you do a "wipe" in recovery (TWRP or CWM) you do a factory reset - wipe system(on twrp) - wipe cache - wipe dalvik - and it just delets the current ROM you have, all your files remain on the internal memory, togeather with the titanium backup - zip files you just flashed and so on ... Hope you understand what I meant
Wow, I didn't know that it left files after doing a factory wipe in TWRP. So you're saying I can wipe system, cache, and dalvik cache, but my m2 zip, Gapps zip, nandroid backup zip and titanium backup files will still be there?
What about my wifi and bluetooth settings? do I need to do those over again or are they "saved" somewhere

If they are synced with your google account, they will restore back!
When wiping - do cache - dalvik cache- factory reset - system ... DON'T wipe anything else, especially internal storage! THAT will wipe everything off ...
I don't know how to check if they are synced. I know I have contacts calendar, etc synced. How can I tell if wifi settings and bluetooth are synced?
Go to backup & reset in settings and check there!
ok, thank you! it is checked, so I guess i'm good to go.
I will wipe "SYSTEM" in TWRP - which wipes the ROM only. I will not do a factory reset in twrp.
Doom, you've been a ton of help!
christ, i tried to install m2 and in says "FAILED"
**** **** ****! I am screwed. why did the flash of the latest m2 fail?
Stuck on Google splash screen
I am re downloading the latest M2 from get.cm to my PC. I guess I can reboot into recovery and try to get the zip onto the phone.
restoring from Nand backup now. UGH. what went wrong with the goomanager m2.zip??

That's what I'm guessing. now my PC won't recognize the nexus...as if the device drivers won't work on my PC. ugh.
after the restore, i'll see if I can get my PC to recognize the device when I plug it in. This is odd.
I ALWAYS download this via PC - then send 'em on my GNexus and then flash aterwards ...
Thanks doom, I am restored to my old M1 rom, but my PC is not recognizing the device, so I can't move the downloaded m2 zip to it just yet. I've got to figure out what is going on with device recognition before trying this again.
My Nexus recognizes that it is connected to a PC as a USB device and I can hear the bleep on my PC that it is connected, but I cannot see the device in windows explorer.Consequently, I cannot move the zip to the device if I cannot "see" it.
Do you get the icon in your comp's status bar that it's connected? Android debugging enabled in settings?
Its actually working now. I launched nexus root toolkit to recheck the drivers and now it magically appears in windows explorer...go figure.
should I also install the latest GAPPS after flashing M2? I was using late 2012 Gapps, but now there is one from 3/1/2013 or will that screw up something?
I don't really know ... Didn't try those out! Neither did I try M2 .. xD
Thanks doom! Flashed the M2 zip and newest 3/1/13 Gapps. No need to set up the phone all over again! I am now on M2 (4.2.2).
I've found myself stuck trying to flash a ROM. I'm a newbie, this was my first attempt at something like this, I though I read enough about the process but I guess I screwed up something. I will try to be to the point.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T i747
Rooted phone with Casual, installed ROM Toolbox and purchased the pro upgrade.
installed TWRP 2.5 and made a nandroid backup, the only place this backup existed was in internal storage.
used ROM toolbox to backup user apps and user data
selected cyanogenmod 10.1 RC5 from within ROM Toolbox and there was a requester for gapps and a checked the box for that also. When the DL was complete I installed the ROM queue with those two items and I checked the boxes Wipe Data & Cache and Wipe dalvic-cache.
Phone went to recovery mode (i guess) and appeared to clear the memory and load the new rom, the phone rebooted and I got the cyanogenmod boot screen but then it went to a requester saying:
Unfortunately , the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped.
When you hit ok you get:
Unfortunately, setup wizard has stopped.
this requester never goes away, just keeps popping up when you hit ok.
So I removed the battery and booted the phone in recovery mode and try to restore but the restore nandroid file in not shown. If I hit the center button in the restore window it says "updating partition details" but never returns.
Whenever you power it up normally now you end up in this gapps loop.
My searching suggested I may have tried to install the wrong version of google apps somehow. What are my options for trying to recover from this? Does my backup still exist somewhere?
If process.gapps is your only warning you can try to reflash the gapps zip from here. http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip If this does not fix your problem, you will have to head deeper into the rabbit hold
You can look for your back with a file explorer. Should be in sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/******** (random number). If you dont see them here, check your ext-sd in the same location. If you don't see them, they are gone. Do a Nandroid backup now just to be sure you have one. You should chose to back it up to external in TWRP. As for your FC problem, it would appear that you have not wiped fully. You will likely need to factory reset. the problem is this will remove everything. Titanium back up is a great product for situations like this. If you have used it, you can transfer your backup from the internal storage while connected to your pc. Also copy your DCIM folder as it will contain your photos. This is why you will need to do another Nandroid, because worst case scenario, you can just restore this one.
Thanks for the reply. I will try to reflash the gapps file from the external as soon I can download it, the site is having some trouble right now. I made another Nandroid of the phones current state and stored it to external. I did also have Titanium backup and had backups of the whole system with it. Unfortunately they are also only on the internal storage.
Re-installing the gapps zip file off the extSD from within TWRP did the trick. All the data and backups I created are also still there and are now backed up in several places.
Something that compounded the problem was the 64GB sd card I have for the phone. I was not able to mount it on either of my linux mint machines or an XP machine. Some oddness with the exFAT file system on it, I used a 4GB card I had laying around and it worked fine.
Thank you for the help, the phone is now running CM which is what I wanted and I learned a few things too.

I just bought a 64GB card as well. You may be having troubles mounting it due to a partition that comes factory in the SD. If this is the case, you can look at post #57 on the following page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1915385&page=6
It helped me tremendously.
Let me first apologize for all of the information, but I wanted to give you guys as much to go on as possible.
TLDWR - Can't flash roms, can't decrypt phone, can't wipe data, can't mount internal storage, can't use ODIN....where next?
Here is what I got:
SPH-L710
Android vers - 4.2.2
Cyanogenmod vers - 10.1.0-d2spr
Was getting flaky reception when I was on 10.0.0 nightly, decided to update to 10.1.2. Downloaded the the required files through Rom Manager, rebooted into CWM Recovery version 6.0.3.1 (non-touch) and did the install (dirty)....booted up and the ROM itself worked, but all my apps were getting "stopped unexpectedly". I figured, ok, did a dirty update so stuff isn't working; I'll redo it and this time wipe everything (after backup of course). When I went to do this, I noticed that it did not mount my sdcard (internal storage, not external sd card). I thought was odd, tried manually mounting, didn't work, tried rebooting recovery and that didn't work. Thought maybe it was a fluke, tried wiping and reflashing 4.2.2 (CM 10.1.2).....it went very quickly. Rebooted, and all of my stuff is gone, which is good, but now it won't let me restore apps.
At this point, I decided I'd had enough of trying to upgrade, so I decided to downgrade back to my old CM 10.0.0....long story short, the flash went quickly, booted up, things worked, but still had the same problem with the apps. I could see the data on the internal storage when the phone was booted, but it never saw it in recovery mode. After doing some reading, I saw where the filesystem changed when going to 4.2.2 so that you can use the new profiles feature. This seems to be what caused CWM Recovery to not see my internal storage anymore.
I thought well, maybe it's because I am back on 10.0.0, so I tried downloading and flashing 10.1.0. It did the same quick flash and showed after boot that I was running on 10.1.0, but I still couldn't mount internal storage (sdcard) in Recovery. I said screw it, reinstalled my apps and decided to truck on with how it was. Short version here - installed mobileiron and touchdown, ran through the encryption in mobileiron, etc etc...mobileiron didn't recognize touchdown and I could not get LEAP for wifi to work.
Decided I would try to decrypt and completely wipe phone. Removed Mobileiron as administrator, tried to decrypt - could not. Tried tweaking security settings, reboots, adb mount and format - all to no avail. Tried wiping in recovery....this failed because it cannot read my storage (because it can't mount it and it is now encrypted)!
With the phone booted up and running adb shell, I can get to the main file system, but my sdcard, data, data/media directories all look empty. I can't mount sdcard through ADB either.
When all of this failed, I looked to ODIN to fix my woes...no luck here either. Downloaded the stock Sprint ROM (4.1.1 L710VPBLJ7 L710SPRBLJ7 ) and tried flashing it but I get hung up on the "Setup Connection"...in ODIN. I have tried multiple drivers, usb ports, battery pulls, etc...I even tried from another PC.
I know this is a lot of information and I apologize again. If you read through all that, thanks for being thorough...if not, I will answer your questions, but hopefully won't have to repeat a bunch of info again.
My end all questions are - where do I go from here? What other options do I have? Is there any repair place I might be able to take this to that they might be able to decrypt/flash the phone to stock for me?
Thanks in advance,

Missed your other question the first time I read your post....Yes, I uninstalled the drivers, rebooted, reinstalled the drivers. Tried connecting on another PC as well.
Ok, little bit of an update.
I went through Recovery and was messing around trying to mount and wipe...I couldn't mount data or sdcard, so I figured I couldn't just format them either. WRONG! I was able to format /data and /data/media, which then let me mount /data. After doing this, I rebooted recovery and I could mount sdcard...so I did and formatted it.
Now, I had my old version of CM 10.0.0 on my external sd card, so I installed that and booted up...WOOT - back to blank CM 10.0.0!
Now I've got all my data and apps saved to a folder on my PC, if I can just figure out a way to put them back on the phones storage and restore from my backup...

It's sounds as if you should start a totally clean install, then backup your downloaded apps with Titanium Backup after you get ROM setup again.

I couldn't get my backup to restore correctly....I kept getting an error restoring /data. Luckily I had an older backup from several months further and was able to restore that. After doing so, I had to remove my google accounts, readd them, and reinstall my mobile iron client for work and I am now good to go!
Man, that was a nightmare.....thought I had soft-bricked my phone.

Unfortunately I do have the same issue. The problem is I have not backed this up previously. Any suggestions?
Hello there I updated my international firmware to unlocked/developer and I got a message saying that my password is correct but I need to reset my phone because the data was corrupt.
This is the first time I saw this message so I tried fixing this by formatting the data partition to ext4. I was able to get back but it reset my phone but I have a twrp backup.
However everytime I restore this backup, it does not recognize my pin. I can get into the phone using my finger print but I run into the phone automatically erasing the data if I try to browse the internal data.
I'm already on a clean rom install using a Google backup. I lost some of my pictures because doing dirty installs reset my camera's save location. I wish to try to retrieve my pictures from the twrp if it is possible. Does anyone have ideas?
Did you have the SD Card set as adoptable storage, or external storage that was encrypted? That might help with someone answering your post.
I feel your pain, I learned of adoptable storage the hard way when I was installing a rom and ended up wiping data because of the install method I was testing not working out, which also took out everything on my sdcard including my backups, it sounds goofy now, but at the time I didn't see it coming lol.
I think you may want to check the last few pages of @Sneakyghost 's HTC 10 firmware thread for discussion of a problem like yours, and someone has posted a link to help another user that had a similar problem to yours, unless that was you. It's in the HTC 10 guides and news section I believe.

Hello there I updated my international firmware to unlocked/developer and I got a message saying that my password is correct but I need to reset my phone because the data was corrupt.
This is the first time I saw this message so I tried fixing this by formatting the data partition to ext4. I was able to get back but it reset my phone but I have a twrp backup.
However everytime I restore this backup, it does not recognize my pin. I can get into the phone using my finger print but I run into the phone automatically erasing the data if I try to browse the internal data.
I'm already on a clean rom install using a Google backup. I lost some of my pictures because doing dirty installs reset my camera's save location. I wish to try to retrieve my pictures from the twrp if it is possible. Does anyone have ideas?

After restoring your nandroid you have to reboot into recovery and delete the three lockscreen files in data/system. Then reboot and you will need to re setup your pin and fingerprints.
Sorry deleted I thought this was my thread when waking up in the middle of the night.
Still have no answer. Even though I was mentioned.
