Hey guys.
I've been messing with my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 (Version 4.1.2) SPH-L710 for a little while now trying to get it rooted. I've been using Odin and I've tried both CF Auto Root and CWM. Every time I try Odin lights up, says PASS! and the phone reboots. I go into CWM and the first thing I see before I even press a button is:
"E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command"
"E:Can't mount / cache/recovery/log"
"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log"
"E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log"
"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log"
I've tried using different versions of CWM but this current one is v5.5.0.4. The problem is that whenever I navigate to "Install zip from sdcard" then choosing an sdcard it says:
"E: Can't mount /sdcard/"
Then nothing else comes up. I've tried different Odin versions, different recovery methods (TeamEpic-Root, CWM, CF-Auto) and nothing works. It all passes in Odin then I check the Root Checker app from the Play Store and it says I don't have root access.
I'm really just tired of messing with the root. The problem is that I would just like to go back to stock but 1. I can't select a file from CWM and 2. Whenever I try to reset via the settings on the phone it just reboots since it's missing normal recovery. The only way to return to stock I've found was using this method here: [ROM/RESTORE][!MD4 OTA!](5-10)Quick Return to UNROOTED STOCK WITH FLASH COUNT RESET - xda-developers but that requires being able to access the SD card.
A lot of the return to stock methods I've found require root and since I'm not rooted I don't know what to do.
The phone still works. Boots normally, makes calls, texts and everything, I'd just like a fresh start.
Thanks a lot everyone, I greatly appreciate any advice that can be provided.
