You tried using kies and you want to use the factory reset, so I'm guessing you are not rooted right?

Copy the important files from the internal and external memory to your pc and do a data factory reset in settings, backup and restore. Best is to reflash the rom with Odin. See my siganture for roms and tutorial for Odin. Good luck

Factory reset won't touch your phones internal SD so you don't need to back up to your pc

Though I would, if you flash a stock rom most are wipe roms that will wipe the internal sd card... This is how I do a restock...

Copy the backup to ur pc as restoring to factory Rom will wipe internal memory.
After installing Rom u can copy back the titanium backup folder.

Photos deleted after flashing stock ROM via Odin

Hi,
I'm new and though I've watched the noob video I hope I'm in the right place, if not please dont get angry ><.
2 days ago I've flashed into stock rom for my SG3 (GT-i9300) back from my RGUI v5 Build number: MIUI-2.8.3 IMM76D / Kernal version: 3.0.38-Siyah-s3-v1.3.9c
Ask me why? because I've had some issues trying to install official MIUI v4 from the international website and always I get error: "Status 7" with a dead android inside. (Again, Why ? because I as hoping it would make my SG3 even smoother... more responsive)
So I though perhaps flashing it from a stock rom might work, so I used Odin and everything went fine, again ofcourse I got the error and went back to CWM to restore the backup i've made before flashing anything, I dont really mind about the error right now, I've seen similar posts about it and I shall continue investigating it, What's more important is on the next phrase.
Today I found out that all my photos were deleted, after restoring my RGUI v5 rom 2 days ago ofcourse....
I'm not sure how could the situation get any better though I remember previously flashing rom's that the SD card never being touched and I guess I was wrong.
What I wanted to ask is, I just got more CWM backup files on my external SD, does anyone knows if CWM backup restores user data aswell or should I just give up ?
Helpfull tips of how to restore it could be usefull (Oh lord, please spare me I beg you, I'll pray more).
Thanks in advance.
I've flashed hundreds of times on S1, S2 and now S3 and never lost any data or photos that are on either the internal or external sd cards.
Not sure but could it be that you somehow hit format sd card in cwm by accident?

Have you searched your internal and external storage? Maybe they were only stored on a different location so that the stock Gallery cannot find them?
Storages are either completely wiped or not wiped - but you don't only loose one particular folder

I tried to install 3rd party Gallery program which scans my SD's for photos and it could nothing.... Its probably not there.
I think all is lost unless one of my backups contains them.

Unfortunately cwm backups do not backup stuff on the sd card like photos. Looks like you've lost them man.

In a more optimistic view there are worse things, and although its quite hard to swollow all I've got left to do is say thanks to every one for trying...
Thanks.
Sorry, but this is a "Well Duh..." moment.... Flashing any stock rom through ODIN will always wipe the data partition on the internal sd card. You need to backup the internal stuff onto your PC. Only a stock firmware that has been modded will allow a non-wipe flash and you usually need to be rooted as it is no longer a stock rom.
You should be able to restore a nandroid backup of a stock rom too without wiping the internal sd card as this is only putting the system data back onto your phone...

It almost looked like a life saver case but it seems to target the external SD card only.
I can't seem to find a setting to switch into internal SD...

If you data was on the external SD card then you could recover it, if it was stored on the Phone then you have lost it, did you do a Nandroid backup? if so then you could restore your data that way if not them im afraid you have lost all your data..Ive done the same thing
thanks mate , but actually it was in phone, when you make wipe data from CW than is secured photos and some data , but now iam make wipe from stock recovery and its done, phone internal card has arount 200 MB used and all is system etc.
i found some apk files, to undelete from phone, but i dont know if is will working..
last year i format my HDD in PC also mistake, but good software all gave back , so if i can connect my phone like USB drive ( for example drive E:\) i can recover in same like my HDD , but unless i cannot see is impossible, as MTP only shows device i9300 ...no disc
Hi sorry to use your thread, just to confirm, clockworkmod recovery under the backup, is a nandroid backup right?
Yeah the Galaxy S3 INTERNAL memory cannot be mounted as USB Mass storage as Samsung have blocked this only the SD Card can be..I had the same problem I wiped my phone and lost all my photos..if you want the SDcard as a drive e.g. E: then download app called easy UMS will mount SDcard as drive but will not work for phone memory

You can use Clockwork to Nandroid backup or you can use the Nandroid app to backup

Generally a backup made but CWM is called nandroid backup..you can then transfer the clockworkmod folder to your pc for safeguarding.

I see. Does this backup also backup the efs folder as well? From what I've read, that particular folder seems pretty important.

AFAIK..It doesnt..you will have to back it up using other methods such as kTools or EFS backup pro...the reason being flashing a new ROM or fomatting resetting etc dont mess with this folder..it has a different mountpoint and hence is not touched..

Open TB and press the upper right symbol in the bar, now you see Batch back-up/restore- All in the top bar. Scroll down to the bottom and press Delete all backups. That`s it mate
or go into 'My Files' and delete the titanium backup folder

Cwm backup doesn't backup game data. If it did the backup would be massive. The data is on the memory card and stays there even if you factory reset or flash a new rom. You will only lose the data if you format sd card.
Best way to back up game data is to copy to your PC.

Just sync the game saves folder with Dropbox.
That gives you a 30 (or was it 90) day history of your old saves to download in case you f*#% up ingame aswell as the latest one

in my experience, in TiBackup, i just backup the apps normally, then the apps' data (game saves,score,..) will be backed up too, just that when you restore it, you need to choose to restore both app+data

Do you have clockworkmod installed? If yes, wipe data using it or do a factory reset.
It'll wipe all phone data . Backup your important data and wipe your data partition. It should work.

If you do not have a titanium backup and formatted anything incl. Your internal sd (that's where whatsapp puts the backup), you cannot do anything I fear.
