[Q] Accidently formated entire phone, now can't flash new rom?!! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey folks!
I've had JellyBAM v6.5 running on my S3 i9300 and wanted to flash to 6.6, but after a one time used DarkyRom (****) i had a folder called Darky that i couldn't delete. So i thought i delete everything, data, cache, and format it.
But right after i pressed format i realised that it was not that smart of me and now i got an phone i can not boot because there is nothing on it.. :/
If i go to mounts and storage I see:
unmount /efs
unmount /cache
unmount /system
unmount /data
unmount /preload
mount /sdcard
unmount /external_sd
So everything is mounted exept the SD Card.. :/
If I go to the "Install .Zip from SD Card" i can go on the internal storage and see only the folder Clockworkmods\ so i can acces it.
But if I try to install JellyBAM.zip i get this message:
--Installing: /external_sd/rom.zip
Finding update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Than i get a other option menu on the top and it says:
Install Untrusted Package?
THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE.
-No
-Yes - Install untrusted zip
-++++Go Back++++
And if i click Yes- Install untrusted zip, then I get:
Installing Update...
Installation aborted.
What can i do now?
Thanks!

ODIN... Flash a stock rom and then re-root...
You've cleaned out everything on your internal storage anyway, there should be no pics or anything there if you formatted it. What have you got to loose?

Nothing to lose, i got everything stored on dropbox and google account anyway..
But i didnt want to flash a stock rom.. is there no other way? Because I want a clean as possible install..

Install stock rom... the zip file you have downloaded seems to be broken... so just download the file again and follow the OP instructions.
If there are non just ask how to here

Put rom on external sd card .
Flash CWM recovery and install rom from recovery may work .
Otherwise build the rom you want into the correct format for Odin flash .

Soft Brick, cant do ANYTHING via ADB.....

Heres what happened. I went to flash Eugene's newest Froyo ROM, but like an IDIOT, i downloaded the wrong .zip in the OP and tried to flash it (please hold the criticisms, i realize impatience can lead to disasters). Obviously it messed everything up and im stuck at Vibrant screen.
I have ADB up and running on my work comp, but ODIN is not an option because i dont want to download anything on my work comp (IT monitors downloads, and i dont feel like dealing with their inquiries).
I rebooted into stock recovery via adb. i selected "reinstall packages" thinking it would get me to clockwork recovery, and i get this message:
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted.
Now I'm assuming this means that it cant find the clockwork .zip, but i dont see how thats possible, ive never had that problem up until now. Can anyone point me in the right direction??
-----------------
i tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=777016 but it adb says "cant cd /clockworkmod" or something to that effect
------------
tried this to nandroid restore via adb: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614016 but it says "cant cd to nandroid"
was my sdcard formatted somehow??????
More than likely it formatted your internal SD, you can adb push the clockwork zip and load the revovery, but you won't be able to do much more without a rom zip to flash.
This should also be in Q&A.

Why would it format my internal?? also stock recovery is looking in E:/...my internal usually shows up as F:/
... So you don't want IT to inquire you about what you're downloading, but yet you proceed to download a ROM and not willing to download Odin + Stock?
Just wait until later tonight to go back home and Odin back to stock.

Because sometimes Flashes go awry and wipe EVERYTHING....which is why you should always make a backup of your internal SD card to your PC before you flash a new ROM.

Im not used to working with internal SD cards, and i was not aware that something like this was possible......
is there any way to recover using data recovery software (and since i pushed clockworkmod update.zip to the formatted sd does that TOTALLY eliminate my chance for recovery)? all i really want to do is access my nandroid backup and i can work from there.

[Q] Install CM7 ROM problem

Noob question.
Installing CM7 with CWM and ROM Manager, I'm getting can't mount /emmc
using internal SD with "the hard method", rooted with SOC
do i have to partition the SD card?
Dont flash CWM with ROM manager...use Odin to flash CWM kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285823). Also, dont use internal SD option, just go to install from SD in CWM and find the file...I had issues installing CM7 so let me know how it goes for you.
What the reply said. I initially had troubles trying to install from my SD card, so I just used root on my internal SD card. I flashed CM7 from CWM rather than using ROMManager, and ended up having my phone hang at boot. After some research, I discovered there's a glitch where the flash doesn't work correctly, so you actually have to flash CM7, and then flash it again right afterwards. Works like a charm for me now.
Hope this helps!
thanks for the replies both of you!
i did get CWM flashed ok...v5.0.2.3
when i'm in CWM, i disable signature checking then install from zip from internal sdcard and i get
E:Can't mount /emmc/

I think internal and external SD card are switched somewhere in CWM.
thanks! how do i fix that?
ok, yes Entropy you were right, the internal sdcard gives the /emmc error, the zip from sdcard works, and cm-galaxys2-full-75.zip starts installing then give the following
asset failed: getprop....
E:Error in /sdcard/cm_galaxys2_full-75.zip
(Status 7)
i also tried toggle script asserts
i figured it out, it was the galaxys2 nightlies from rommanager, not the galaxys2att, trying that now...
I don't think the euro GS2 nightlies work with ATT GS2, I could be mistaken though.

1. Boot into CWM
2. Nandroid back-up
3. Wipe data & cache
4. Choose install zip from SD card
5. Select the file downloaded above and install
6. Repeat step 4 & 5
7. Reboot and Enjoy
Why would you have to do 4 and 5 twice. Ie install it twice?

Oddity with Cyanogenmod in regard to coming from Samsung-derived ROMs, I think involving filesystem formatting. It was the same on the Infuse. Once you're on CM7, you'll only have to do updates once.

Install v5 app and cwm.
update xparts from play store
open xparts and install cwm
using root explorer navigate to SD card and look inside xparts folder for file called recovery. tar move this file to system/bin (make sure you have selected rw at top right corner) and set permissions like this
*** top row
* * middle row
* * bottom row
To enter recovery/cwm power down Phone then reboot while it is rebooting and you see Sony logo start pressing the back key.
This is what I needed to do and have got it working fine if this fails then just stick to v5
From the darkest reaches of my mind...... Somebody turn on the light

but after i succesfully installed the rom then it said need to reboot, i rebooted it and stuck at SONY logo, so i reflash offcial stock ics to be able to use again then root..
I tried again but never enter cmw recovery again using xparts,,
but when i use CWM v5
the problem is "cant open .zip"

Yes, it works very well. The SDHC is one of the main problems regarding this issue. I had very slow the titanium app and many other issues that I believed it was for other reasons. My mistake was that I made a format with my notebook (Microsoft) and this I not the correct way to format an SDHC.
SD Formatter 4.0 for SD/SDHC/SDXC
This software formats all SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards and SDXC memory cards. SD Formatter provides quick and easy access to the full capabilities of your SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards.
The SD Formatter was created specifically for memory cards using the SD/SDHC/SDXC standards. It is strongly recommended to use the SD Formatter instead of formatting utilities provided with operating systems that format various types of storage media. Using generic formatting utilities may result in less than optimal performance for your memory cards.
The SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards have a "Protected Area" on the card for the SD standard's security function. The SD Formatter does not format the "Protected Area". Please use appropriate application software or SD-compatible device that provides SD security function to format the "Protected Area" in the memory card.
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/
The CWM recovery comes already with zip rom in most custom roms like CM 10. Most of the cases are not necessary to change the CWM.
Also, it is recommended, in case you format your sdhc, that start from scratch and not use Titanium back up for the new installation.

You can flash a rom. Try to put the zip in the clockworkmod folder. Don't do a full wipe until flash. Wipe cash partition and in advance menu from CWM wipe dalvik cash. After flash do a full wipe.

ok. If you have a CWM installed in your phone you can pick the .zip from any folder. Try to put into download folder and try to pick from there. CWM has touchscreen suport. What version of CWM you fave installed?

Lol I even dont know what is CWM im very new to this... I had an iphone before and i changed to Samsung.
So if you can tell me the stuff that required for flashing a rom would be great.
Like what is CWM, do i need to install it?, where do i install it?
You have to read a lot. In the s3 general section is a thread specially created for noobs like you. Start from there. Any admin to close this thread...
