have you made any backup before formatting your system?

If you have made a Nandroid Backup, then its easy to recover the ROM. But if you haven't made, then Mount USB storage in CWM recovery, and connect your phone to computer via USB cable. Then transfer the ROM zip file to SD card. And then you are able to flash the ROM. Be sure to wipe data/cache/dalvik-cache/battery stats.

You were using a Custom ROM before aren't you? If yes, then probably you should know which ROM you used before.
Anyways you can search in the device-specific forum over here :

Sadly NO ....Stupid Me !!! However I'm quite new to all this...which,if any, is my only saving grace.

Interestingly enough, I was working on the stock ROM that the phone was on.It's a new device I was using.And I just got introduced to the ClockWorkMod thingy, which was just a zip file that I chose thru the Reboot Recovery Screen. I was just mucking around with the options on the CWM, when I unwittingly chose to Format System (No goddamn idea why !!!! )
But I will search for a suitable ROM. Will revert back in case of any issues....THNX !!!

There is a tool for partitioning called minitool for partition, else u can try the method of partition using advanced option in cwm!
Before that, make sure u have a custom kernel that has ext3 or 4 partition support

[Q]swap internal and external sdcards.

Hi

of course you break your phone with other phone's instructions
go to setting. storage. format sd card. then this format your external sd card.
go to setting. backup and reset. choose factory data reset and then your phone will be fresh with internal wiped. but also every setting on your phone wiped off
hit thanks if i helped u

Of course you didn't help because he didn't ask how to wipe. He asked how to swap internal memory and sdcard. I'm also looking for script or any-thing else that can do this.
I don't think you understood what I tried to say my freind.
By swap I meant replace extsdcard by sdcard so you can have more storage to install APS for example use a 32 gig micro SD as phone's SDcard partition.
It has to do something with vold.fstab file.
Like this tutorial
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991583
And when I change it the phone won't boot and wiping partitions doesn't work cuz change was made by root access.
Does anyone have an idea how to restore original vold.fstab file without flashing ROM?cuz phone needs to be booted to restore it, but unfortunately it doesn't.

I you have backup of original file, download aroma filemanager http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108 go to cwm and install it. It will open file manager in recovery where you can restore original vold.fstab.

Thank you
does it need root access?
For example Can I paste moded vold.fstab through this file manager on a nonrooted device then if it doesn't work try another one or just restore original vold.fstab and forget about it?
Cuz I do like mod my phone but I believe root is not an answer cuz I read somewhere it have some procceses before android boots which is not cool.

I think it should work without root, all you need is cwm recovery.
I would say it needs root access and it doesn't, how?
although you can make changes on a non-rooted device but ROM itself undoes your changes so it have no use for modifying system files like vold.fstab.

[Q] Did I brick my tab?

Alrght, so I was trying to get my tab back to original software and I read online to wipe EVERYTHING on the system in CWM. After that I tried to re-boot the syste and it's stuck on Samsung Logo screen. I am able to get into CWM but I tried to install the latest version of CWM and the installation aborted. Staus 7 error. t won't show up o my computer either. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP !
it seems that you forgot to read the line of the instructions where it was strongly suggested to ALWAYS have a nandroid backup or at least a ROM ready to be flashed! Can you reach the main memory in order to put a file in it?

1st where' the an memory and 2nd I can use my external SD car to put files but other than that when I try to mount "system" on my PC it doesn't show.
1) please specify the model of your tab, 2) as far as I've understood the tab supports an SD card as ext memory isn't it? 3) is your CWM fully working? (why d'you wanted to flash it again?)

My 2 cents, at least you could try to reflash with Odin a standard samsung rom for your note 3 in order to bring back all necessary files, then go further with a custom rom again.
Good luck

You may try it via CWM. As you have CWM, just format the storage.
OR
You can flash the stock firmware via ODIN. Includes the stock recovery and should also fix your problem as it sets the phone back to stock. Flash the firmware and then perform a factory reset in the stock recovery.

download your stock firmware from sammobiles or any mirror links, use ODIN and then flash your phone. Its technically a new phone now
Now u can install any apps and partition as u wish.
