TWRP ver 2.6.3.0 Phone wiped clean... Stuck

[rickmcn]

I've ran custom ROMs back in the spring and decided to move it back to the stock ROM. I recently decided to try another ROM and I noticed where there is a new process out that was easier using TWRP. Long story short, I watched a video on youtube showing how to back-up using TWRP, downloading new zip files using goo manager, etc. I down loaded the files and backed up my existing files. Problem is, on the video the guy must have had an external SD. I did what he said and also wiped my internal memory. I must have backed everything up to internal memory. So when I rebooted and it came up in twrp, there are no zip files or anything else for me to load. Only empty directories there. Is there a way out of this or I am doomed? I was hoping there is a way to get the zip files from my laptop via my USB port, but now my laptop does not recognize the phone. Any suggestions appreciated. If I can't get it back up, I guess I will have to buy another phone and I don't want to do that. thanks in advance.

Does TWRP have an ability to reboot into the bootloader?

Then OP: You can do so and use ODIN to flash a stock ROM. This should be your salvation.

Just to make sure: You do have the AT&T S3, right?

Yes... It's an AT&T S3. So, what should I do first? thanks

Download ODIN, and Install.

Then try downloading your stock ROM here: Stock ROM Firmware Download Links HERE - xda-developers

Once you have ODIN downloaded/installed, and your ROM downloaded, you right click on ODIN and open as Administrator. Then you can follow this guide to help you flash it: http://forums.androidcentral.com/am...ide-samsung-how-flash-stock-rom-via-odin.html

I downloaded Odin ver 3.04 on my laptop and also downloaded I747UCALEM_I747ATTALEM_ATT to my laptop. What should I do next?.... Sorry I did not see your previous posts... I will try it now.

I followed the instructions and it came out perfectly. The phone is back online and working great. I will pay much more attention next time when I re-root the phone and back it up before I try to download another ROM. Thanks so much!!!!
