Maybe bad download. Did you let it check the file?

I let the file download for hours mate... Didn't touch it aha

Did you check the md5 checksum (if any)?
Did you try to select the wipe option as well?

I did it twice - checked the md5 sum first time and didn't the second, it didn't work either time...
No I didn't try to select the wipe option because I didn't think it needed it

Try Rom Manager from Play Store.
You can boot in touch recovery by turning off your phone, then press and hold power button + home button + volume up
Wait until the recovery shows up and release your fingers.
Edit: Or just reflash cwm recovery using cwm apps if you want to use cwm apps for backup/restore

As I suggested earlier, use ROM Manager.
ROM manager is not the way I would suggest as it doesn't support many phones and is known to have caused a few bricks! Best bet Google! Find your recovery flash it thru the one u have if possible, or do it thru bootload USB

Don't use ROM manager to flash anything.
@OP just flash cf-root, that installs recovery when you flash it

There's a chance of it going wrong and bricking your phone, a lot of people will tell you not to use ROM manager to flash anything, downloading stuff with it is fine, but flash through cwm.
Better to be safe than sorry.

Your post makes no sense .
You cannot flash firmware without a PC .
Hold buttons as described do you mean via CWM recovery ???

You will need a PC though..

Yeah that would help. I've created my own update script but when I zip it all up how it should look compared to everyone else's rom it just fails when flashing saying bad.

To check out what is going wrong..after you have flashed either check recovery log under advanced settings or after booting go into cache/recovery and check last install log

Zoot1, Your META-INF consists of only the com folder.
Are the CERT.RSA, CERT.SF and MANIFEST.MF files neccesary?

Last time I had this same problem when flashing MIUI on Galaxy Note, it fried the motherboard and I just got it fixed.

I used Mobile odin pro flash XX.zar
but it can not open XX.zar maybe it only can flash.tar
you need root to use mobile Odin
Edit.I'm guessing you used the new root only cf?
Flash a recovery using mobile Odin pro and you're done.

or just use lgpwn, that's what i did, and u can easily unroot by going into settings on supersu (of course download it off of playstore) and click "Uninstall root Perminantly" or something like that and boom, you're unrooted. And the best part about it is you can go back to root whenever you want and do the same process to get unrooted and you won't damage your device.
I'm not trying to unroot, simply needed the stock System and Meta-Inf files.

You are asking for the whole ROM, just download the kdz or cwm backup.

Will I be able to extract the System and Meta-Inf files? It's only two little files.

Sure but you might need a manager to do it. I created an update.zip file from titanium backup and extracted the meta-inf from there. . .

So you need stock files or just any flashable zip file to get its content? If you want later please download from http://d-h.st/T63
Does anyone have just the stock files? I'm not the best when it comes to kdz's, and the last flashable zip I found wasn't extractable. This is what I'm trying to undo.
