So last night I was running Starburst Rom and decided that I wanted to theme it, so I downloaded the theme I liked for it, flash it in recover, but when I reboot the system it kept boot looping. So I figured that I needed to format it, so I went back into recovery and used Caulkins Format All zip, flashed it, then flashed the theme again. OUCH this time my phone would just show the yellow triangle and Samsung logo ( start up page). I can still go back to recovery but all my other Roms are gone so I cant even restore my phone or anything! What can I do? I used Heimdall to root, can I go back and re root again? Would I still get the stock rom? HELP
Download a rom onto an sd card and flash it from recovery. Format all wipes your entire system, you use format all to have a clean slate before you flash a new rom. You have no os now.
Edit: You could also flash the stock .tar they just put up in the development section, just make sure you read the instructions first or you could hardbrick.

You don't. You download it to a pc or mac and then transfer it to a micro sd card and then put the card in the phone and flash the Rom from recovery.

Your going to need a computer at some point if you've lost root. You can at least get the phone working again though.

I have a computer, and I can dowload a rom into it, no problem, my issue is that I cant get this on my SD card due to me not being able to mount the phone in recovery. I tried and it wont. So my solution would be to go to a friends house that has an Android, download a ROM into their phone with my SD card then go back to my phone and flash it.
Do you still have a custom recovery or just the Samsung recovery....sorry i should've asked sooner.

Right I am with you, but my question is, if I flash through Heimdall again will I get the stock rom? I know by using this method I am flashing a kernel, but since I have no OS as you stated because mY dumb *&^% formatted all, would I get the rom back this way?

The link i posted is stock. After thats done you can reroot and go from there. Make sure you uncheck the boxes in the instructions or you'll brick. If those options aren't shown then don't flash it. I don't know macs very well.

Let me research to see if Odin is Mac compatible but I doubt it.

Heres another option I've used myself. As far as I know you have to use Heimdall, its the mac version of Odin but I don't know any of the commands or how to use it.

No, ROM Manager is an app, while CWM is a recovery.
You can install the app called ROM Manager and within it you'll find the option to flash the latest CWM recovery.

All it takes to install cwm is a simple dd command with root access. This is what ROM manager does for you. Or you can install it manually using terminal editor
ClockworkMod Recovery Version 6.0.2.8 is now available officially for your Galaxy S III (d2spr). You can install ClockworkMod Recovery on your rooted Galaxy S III by installing ROM Manager. ROM Manager is available on the Google Play Store at:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager
Alternatively you can download the ROM Manager APK directly from ClockworkMod.com at:
http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/RomManager.apk
Once installed use the "Recovery Setup" section to install or update your recovery installation.
You can also install the latest version of ClockworkMod Recovery manually. The images for both the touch and non-touch version are available directly at:
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Simply locate your device (Galaxy S III) and download the linked image to the right. You can than flash it manually or with any tool designed to manually flash recovery images.
CHANGES-
Version 6.0.2.8 - Initial version listed here
i tried to update it via odin 3.04 but it doesnt recognize the downloaded colckworkmod file because it wasnt in tar format.

Yup, it's not there.
Problem with recovery being able to mount the partitions.
It won't mount anything, data, system, cache, internal or external sdcards
I've read post from a handful of people who, like myself, have gotten their phone very recently. All experiencing the same problem.
I've gotten root by flashing a stock rom thru ODIN with it already installed but I'm dying for my Vanilla Android, touchwiz is making me sick :crying:

There are some pre-rooted stock roms you can flash in Odin but that doesn't fix recovery. So if you can live with Touchwiz I'd check those out.

I believe you meant www.rwilco12.com.
I am also having a problem with all CWM versions I've tried on my two 3-day old Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 phones. It doesn't matter which recovery (or version) I flash, nothing mounts so you cannot see the internal or external SD, cannot flash anything, cannot wipe anything, etc. This seems to be a problem with very new S3's with all custom recoveries.

Hey there xda.
I have an i747m with rogers, and I am on stock touchwiz..
Phone is rooted, reset, wiped, update cwm, and whenever I try to install any custom rom (carbon, liquid, paranoid) I get installation aborted (bad)
Please help
THanks
Have you tried TWRP instead of CWM?
Install this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5zMHVwLmdvb21hbmFnZXIiXQ..
Then go to settings in the app and select "install openrecovery script".
Then reboot and try to install a ROM again.
What version of cwm is it? And just to double check, you're using i747m rom releases, correct?
Ive never tried anything other than cwm so I will, also I just use roms that are for i747 and that are in the rogers section..
I never see any roms that say i747m they all say i747
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
Make sure your recovery is the d2att version not the d2can version. It doesn't matter if you flash any i747 ROM on an i747m the only thing is you may have to set your APN manually other than that everything will work

you could redownload a ROM and try again or flash this in recovery: twrp2.4.4.0
flash it and reboot recovery (under advanced i believe). its obviously a previous version of twrp and may allow you to flash the ROM zip

Hi,
I have the Google Play Edition rom installed on T-Mobile Galaxy S4. I have accidentaly deleted the Clockworkmod folder from the internal storage. Now I can reboot in CWM recovery however on the main CMW screen I see a "Warning: No File_Contexts".
Should I be worried about this? Will I able able to flash a different rom, do and restore a nandroid back up with this warning?
If not what should I do to make the warning disappear?
Any help is appreciated.

Are you using the original cwm? If so you can download Rom manager from the market .and if your using another version of cwm that was developed by one of xda developer then yes you would need to use Odin to reflash.

I have the same error message and I have no problem making nandroid backups. I always check the option bank up to external sd card. It works perfectly fine. Also flashes go just fine too. Don't worry about the error message. Not sure but I think saying no files are backed up to INTERNAL storage which is fine because you generally want them stored on your EXTERNAL sd storage anyway. If they went to internal you would loose most of your phones memory with a few backups. So don't worry. All is well. Just store your nandroid to external sd card. When its time to restore simply choose backup from EXTE R NAL sd card. So don't worry about that message. Hope this helps
the error message is gone in CWM 6.0.4.4.
