Recovery 3e will not work requires CWM 4 and above .
CWM recovery Install zip from sd card >>Toggle Signature Verification.
That fails check that rom thread possible faulty file .

Can you mount it to PC? Do you have CWR on your internal. Do you have stock or CWR recovery showing up? Try flashing a new ROM and see if it comes back you.
Nope it wont do anything. Just reboot to Samsung recovery. Did flash clockwork but no mount. Thanks for the help

Root question

I am trying to root my friends s3. Seems to have worked but instead of having the normal options in recovery mode, its missing "install from sdcard"
I haven't done anything different to how I went about rooting my s3.
Anyone?

Has you GS3's friend a SD card plug in at least ? Using CWM or CWM Touch ?
Else reflash CWM via Odin could be a solution.
When we first initially flash via odin, no. Tried to reflash but no luck.

hmm... seems like you messed up with the actual root process somewhere, try ref lashing again, but remember to follow the steps TO THE LETTER, otherwise i can't seem to know of any other fix.

Flash the unroot package that Chainfire provide to cancel all you have done so far in the rooting process then try once more from the beginning.

Error 7 Stuck in CWMR :(

Apologies if this is in the wrong place.
I have been googling and reading for the past 2 hours trying to figure out how to fix this.
I have recovery v5.5.0.4.
I tried to flash the stock rom and it gives me error 7.
I then tried flashing a CM rom with the same error.
It apparently will not mount my external even when I select "mount external" so I have no access to my nandroid.
No ADB and no rom make for a very expensive paperweight
all help is VERY appreciated
Try mounting the internal? Also worst case scenario you can just Odin back to a stock rom too you know.
Good luck!

Wipe cache then you should be able to reboot system

I can access the internal which is where my two roms are located, but neither work. Do you flash the rom with odin the same way you flash a kernal?
Yeah man you just download the tar file and flash that sucker in Odin, quick fix for anything bad.

I feel like an idiot for being able to fix it so easily like that... Thank you for your help though.

You have to put the update.zip on the root of your internal sd, which means NO folder.

[Q] Galaxy S3 Flashing problem???

Help guys i cant flash any ROM,Gapps etc But i can flash superSU,recoveries.
I can Also flash Stock ROM Via ODIN but I cannot flash any custom ROM? I tried different recoveries
Here's what happens when i flash the ROM i select the file it shows the progress and then after 30 seconds it Reboots Recovery or refreshes recovery (because the log is afresh or nothing is in the log).
Use an official cwm recovery from the official website and try again.
