[Q] Stuck on CWM 5 (PhilZ Touch 5) - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
Before I Install anything I did:
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Wipe Cache Partition
- Wipe Davlik Cache
Then I tried to install:
Code:
- I9300 AOSP NeatROM v5.8 (4.4.3) - Failed with (Status 7)
so I tried Installing:
- I9100 AOSP NeatROM v4.9 (4.4.2) - Failed with (Status 7) too!
And finally tried installing:
- I9300XXUGND5_NeatROM_v7.6_Aroma[/URL] - Failed with (Status 7)
then I tried modifying the update-script for each of them and tried to install hoping one of them works, but:
Code:
- I9300 AOSP NeatROM v5.8 (4.4.3).zip - Disappeared in CWM
- I9100 AOSP NeatROM v4.9 (4.4.2).zip - Disappeared in CWM
- I9300XXUGND5_NeatROM_v7.6_Aroma - (Bad) installation aborted
Now I dont care about any ROM, I just want my device back!
Thanks!

Update recovery, status 7 issues are normally due to incompatible recoveries try latest twrp or cwm , from website ie not via clockwork manager. To get device back now just reflash your nandroid backup, should work fine even with older recovery.

This is latest PhilZ recovery download page >> http://www.mediafire.com/?6bz59b4kwq6my << Also noticed in your post you tried to flash "I9100 AOSP NeatROM v4.9 (4.4.2)" wrong phone my friend probably good that that one failed to install!
If your phone still does not flash with new recovery then return to stock with Odin and start again

No! I'm sure I didn't try to install i9100, I carefully chose I3900 in every ROM I've downloaded! I've just copied this text carelessly so...
However, the recovery I've installed named:
Code:
philz_touch_5.18.4-i9300.tar.md5
What you gave me is:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Are you sure it's newer than mine?
Cuz I'm running outta battery and I just can't keep trying until my phone is dead!!
Thanks!!

Don't keep trying as suggested return to stock with odin if the recovery does not work.

Glad it worked ? Give it another try in a week or two when you have the courage to try again you now know you can always go back to stock Rom ....Maybe also try installing Twrp again using a different version of Odin.

and I got it registered on samsung server hopefully waiting to an official update

You'll be waiting a long time, Samsung have stated i9300 will not be updated to 4.3
