If I am not wrong, you can also use mega wipe (the script your mentioned I guess) with Odin and flash your ROM that way.
Simple Mounts and Storage.
Format cache system data sdcard preload = empty phone zero left .
Requires boot to download mode and flash rom.

Ahh but correct me if I'm wrong, wouldn't just flashing with Odin remove all the files and since the ROM I have downloaded i.e Omega Rom, would be in the .zip format right? But Odin only recoginses the .tar format. How do I go about it?

I think better to use odin if you want to flash stock rom, oherwise is suggest using custom recovery and delete system / data cache what you actually need. then flash the new rom from zip.
For example: i using AOKP and always flashing from csutom recovery, but the baseband version stays the old that i used previously on stock samsung rom, even if i delete system and cache and datas...

I suggest to revert back to stock samsung from ODIN, then put a custom recovery via odin, and from your custom recovery: delete system, cache, dalvik cache, userdata. Then flash omega and gapps if you need from sdcard.. I think people mostly doing the same.
If you go back to stock samsung, all teh modem version will be stock.
sorry if I dont have right. I did never tried Omega, but with aokp the same was working good to me.

Yes but to convert a custom zip to a flashable tar is not just convert .

what he is trying to say is that you should flash the kernel AFTER you flash your ROM
the ROM you chose is [CM10][Jellybro] i9100 Nightly Kangs, yes?
anyway..
here is what you should do
1. flash your rom
2. flash gapps for cm10
3. flash a kernel [an example of which is Dorimanx Kernel]
if you are still confused on some terms, please refer here
I hope this helps
EDIT:
you should root your phone first
You know, after flashing a new rom booting may take some more time, at least a few minutes. Have you been waiting enough time?
First, check md5sum of ROM [what Saywhatt wrote a few posts back]
a. If you are no longer in recovery modes then you can get a kernel [tar file] Flashing with Odin.
If your phone then starts normally, then flash the ROM you want through CWM.
*** wipe data / wipe cache / wipe Dalvik cache / format system in mounts and storage / flash ROM from sdcard***
b. If you can get into recovery mode, not flash with Odin, but do these same steps;
**** wipe data / wipe cache / wipe Dalvik cache / format system in mounts and storage / flash ROM from sdcard***
PS. If it fails in step a first flash stock ROM with Odin
sorry for my bad english

Hi there,
Now my device has the ELLA rom flashed (anyway, I'm thinking about flash the recent ELLC spanish rom)
I have rooted by CF-Root (not CF Auto root) so my counter is not zero , and the red mark is there.
I want to be "official" so my idea is not to flash a custom recovery.
I am going to use Triangle Away and to flash again the Rom with Odin.
Then I will root with CF-Autoroot.
Now, here is my problem: how to make the things that I made with a Custom Recovery, without a Custom Recovery.
- Flash .zip files -> I think I can use Mobile Odin
- Backup / restore -> Maybe Titanium Backup would help
- Wipe Data and wipe Cache -> Stock recovery is ok for this.
- Wipe Dalvik and format /system -> Any suggestions??
I am thinking about non-permanent custom recoveries, or even in a Custom Recovery that does not increase the counter...does it exist?
Many thanks for your help!!
Stock recovery can't replace a custom one.
You can't flash zips with Odin. AFAIK you can't wipe cache from stock recovery.
The only way to have the counter at zero is not to change anything

Yeah, a data wipe is basically a system format.
Aside that, there is no such thing as a system wipe unless you want to delete your efs and all important files.

I think it is the best way to have a really clean Rom, without stuff from the oldest rom.
When I dont format /system sometimes I can find apps and stuff from the oldest rom, so I think that the new rom is not really fresh.
Thank you

Data wipe does not format /system
And formatting /system does not wipe Efs ...
You can't wipe system from stock recovery. Here's your answer

The solution would be to wipe /system from CWM, then flash flash a stock ROM with stock recovery

Hi guys.
My phone is a international i9300
I've been searching for a problem like mine in the forum for three weeks now and I couldn't find a proper solution.
I just can't flash any rom via CWM anymore...
I can flash roms via ODIN, but when it comes to CWM, it gets stucked at Samsung logo after the install.
I tried:
Wipe cache / Dalvik / factory reset.
before the installation, after the installation, every combination possible.
Tried megawipe and no help.
Changed the kernel, Siyah, Googy, stock...
Changed versions of CWM, touch.
I have now the Phil'z 5.0.15.
I like very much the XXELK4 version from roalex with its MOD, for the call recording and full multiwindow support, but can't flash it anymore, nor any other custom or stock via CWM.
By now I can only have a full stock flashed via odin, or my Omega 46.1, wich I have a full backup.
Another solution could be find a .tar rooted and with the MODS flashable via Odin, but I really wanted to understand what's happening with my recovery.
Thank you all and congrats for the great work with the forum.

System
Cache
Then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache
Then flash the rom.

Forgot to include in the original post... I tried that too. Formatted everything

And with previous versions of both too.
Have you tried to go bk to stock,root that firmware then install cwm then flash custom rom? Clean slate start.

There can't be a so huge bug in philz recovery
Try install from internal sdcard, a simple 'Factory Reset before New Rom' no need to mega wipe anything.

Of course. And I tried with different versions of Philz' and also CWM. It can't be a bug in recovery.
Re-downloaded the revolution 29.0 and the Roalex XXELK4 rooted, copyed directly to internal and flashed... Same problem. Stuck at Samsung logo in boot. I'm begining to think my phone is screwed up. But this is so strange. I can restore my backup with no problems, and also can flash with Odin.
Is there a way to flash a .ZIP ROM in Odin?
Does not make any sense .
What model phone do you have ???
What model firmware are you flashing .
What about basic stock custom roms flashed via CWM ??
Have you booted to Philz recovery mounts and storage format sd card cache system and data then flash rom ??
Agree it is strange Deviating a little from your problem but have you tried flashing anything with TWRP recovery see if the problem persists with that.

I know it doesn't. That's why I'm going crazy.
I uploaded the screenshots with my system specs.
The model is correct, international i9300. Tried to download from the site and also directly from rommanager.
The firmwares I'm trying to flash are stock, but rooted by Roalex. I couldn't find a pure stock .zip for testing with CWM. The firmware I'm using is UBEMH5 from sammobile, wich I flashed via Odin.
Yes... Tried and formatted everything, several times, mounted, unmounted, every possible order...
Almost giving up. :crying:

It's been a while since i used it last time was when I had a S2 and I used it all the time:good: You can flash any rom with it that cwm can flash (as far as I know) but it had a little trouble restoring backups made with cwm but I think that got fixed.But you can make backups and loads of other things with it I recommend people to try it at least once This won't fix your cwm problem but would be interesting to see if it works
If twrp doesn't work on stock Flash googy Max dualboot kernel and keep stock as primary rom and custom as second rom. Then you have best of both world's :thumbup: also take the pic down with your emei showing :banghead: never ever show this!
What i would do in this situation is .
In recovery format cache system sd card preload .
Flash stock rom via Odin.
Check phone works ok .
Then root / flash philz recovery .
Put custom rom on sd card boot to recovery factory reset .
Then install custom rom watching setup to spot a failure point .
Wait for rom to load 10 mins fails then remove batter replace and factory reset .
Problem solved
Hi folks.
Think I figured out what's going on.
Via TWRP it says the files were corrupted, although the file sizes were identical.
I MD5 checked the files in my computer and they're ok, but when checked already inside my phone or SD they're not.
Instead of copying the files via USB cable I removed the SD card and inserted directly in my laptop slot and copyed the files. MD5 checked and they're ok...
After I tryed again copy via USB and the files were corrupted again.
I think my desktop USB or maybe the Samsung drivers are doing that.
Well, problem solved. I hope this helps other people in future problems.
Thank you all for your help and support. Keep on with the great work.
Mark solved then for other users .
Hi,
When i woke up this morning my phone was attempting to boot, but was stuck on my boot animation. So i pulled out the battery and rebooted, since then it has been turning on for a couple mins than rebooting the phone its self is slightly warmer than usual, but it has been hotter before. I have attempted to back up my data using cwm, but the reboot still happens, im unsure if its on the same file that causes the reboot. Im trying to back it up to completely wipe it and see if that makes a difference.
I would be grateful for any help in the matter.

Hi,
i would boot into CWM or TWRP and then i would do a wipe cache / dalvik, and flash your "rom.zip" from internal or external sd card. If that does not work then do a factory reset and flash "rom.zip". If the problem still exists what i do not hope for you, then you have to wipe all your data without doing a nandroid backup and then flashing again. Do you have a stock rom installed or what rom do you have and what kind of kernel?
But try to flash your rom and kernel again . Hope it will help your "Diva" ?!
Sounds to me ur power button is stuck.

So m back to where i started. I'm downloading the latest stock rom for my network and am gonna try and flash via odin. Hopefully that fixes it.
When falshing with odin does it wipe /sdcard?

No i meant you should flash your rom.zip, but when you have istalled a stock rom then you dont have a zip file of it on your sd-card, which you can flash. But a normal odin flash of your stock will solve your problem, and then you can do a custom nandroid backup in CWM (EFS, DATA partition etc). I hope odin will do a complete delete of your /system, /data/media, /data partition. But try it

We should do a full wipe of your phone.....:laugh:
1. Load a rom xyz.zip file on your external sd card (i would recommend not a stock rom)
2. Reboot into CWM (what version do you have ??? etc. It is very important for your new rom what you want to install instep 6)
3. Do a full wipe (wipe cache / wipe dalvik cache)
4. Factory Reset
5. Delete /data and /data/media i mean everything (so your internal sd card has to be empty and empty)
6. Install zip file from sdcard1 (external sd card)
so a new rom will be flashed dont forget it, its your phone
7. REBOOT
8. Now you have a newly fresh installed ROM on your S3 :good::laugh:
All your data is lost.....but your phone works

I'm just back from hockey and have managed to restore the phone to what i had before. So im on 4.1.2 and the random apps have disappeared, and the internal sd card has been wiped so lost a few fb photos nothing serious, well that i can remember.
I am either goign to go with the latest firmware from my carrier which is 4.3 or a newer rom, i would really like to try dual booting android and ubuntu. Any suggestions?

I am happy about that your S3 is working well, its one of the best devices and xda support for our device is nice.....
I use fusion kitkat rom with the stable boeffla kernel in it......YOU must try it. I appreciate it:good:
There are two dualboot kernel for our devices: googymax2 (development of siyah kernel and devil2.....i tried both
naturally with dualboot installed. but im also waiting for a stable version of ubuntu touch and then ........:crying::laugh: there is
also a thread here or you must "google" man you will find sth. But in my opinion try sth different from the stock-rom......OUR XDA-DEVELOPERS
are GREAT......CM11, SLIM or sth like that.......try

Ithink the development of ubuntu touch is discontinued. Its a thread also.....
But running ubuntu on your device is possible as an arm version...... linux deploy apk.....and then you can have a look on whats
possible. But its not a real dualboot..... It runs from your external / internal sd card...

When ever i do get booted into my phone i am still able to use my power button as normal. And the power options box odesnt appear before it reboots either.

It doesnt if the power button is stuck continuously as when u press and hold the power button, it hard reboots so no menu is given. Go google search 'gs3 power button stuck'. Trust me. All of their cases are similar to urs.

Self-explanatory really.
I updated my phone a few weeks ago to Omnirom 4.4.4, one of the nightly builds and everything was going well.
Today I installed a couple of apps, and tonight the screen started flickering and the phone reset, however when it started again, it went into a bootloop.
How do I get it working again without losing the files that are on the internal memory? (I don't know which resets in CWM delete personal data)
Thanks

Flash latest (6.0.4.7) CWM or latest TWRP (2.7.1.0 if Im not wrong) and reflash the rom.
Wiping data, and formatting partitions doesnt get you wiped internal memory files; but apps and things installed.

I did this, and I'm still stuck in a bootloop, it gets as far as the "Omni" animation, and then reboots
Any advice?

Flash stock ROM via Odin

I'm sorry for my ignorance, but would you happen to know of a guide for flashing the stock ROM?
Would it fix by flashing a different ROM, such as Cyanogenmod which I have in the download folder on the phone?
If like you said you don't want to lose data don't flash stock rom this will wipe your data fist thing you need to do is install PhilZ recovery then look here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/orig-development/i93xx-philz-touch-t2002953 << then look at the special features section here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39433728#post39433728 << look for the aroma file manager and how to use.
You will then be able to boot into recovery browse your internal files with aroma and move and copy/backup what you need,once you have done all that you will then be able to return to stock with odin.

If you don't want to lose your data then no because you need to wipe your data....Did you reboot into recovery and wipe cache advanced delvik cache? Also read my suggestions above
