Hello everyone!

Yesterday, I was looking for a rooted stock ROM, I found one called 'Imperium' I downloaded it but there was an option while downloading, it was 'Clean everything - SD Card & Apps....' and there was another option, 'Don't clean anything' I clicked the first option thinking that it will clean third party applications and junk files.. when I finished downloading, I tried to turn the phone on but it just kept restarting, I booted into recovery and clicked 'install zip' then 'choose zip from /sdcard' it showed me '0/' and 'go back' no files were found. Whenever I try to turn the phone on, it keeps restarting in 'Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300', please help me as fast as you can. :(

Edit: I can boot into recovery and download mode.

Sounds like you effectively erased everything that was on the SD card, so there's no zip file for you to load any longer. You'll probably have to remove the SD card from the phone, put it in your computer and copy the file back on there, then put it back in the phone.

Or use Odin to load the firmware.
