[Q] Problems Flashing roms - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Ok so I flashed about to stock this morning, rooted, and unlocked boot loader using ez unlock. Then I downloaded twrp 2.5.0.0 via Goomanager.
When I try and download a rom or wipe anything I get E: error opening '/data/lost+found'
E: error Not a dictory
I have tried several different roms and I also tried CWM and get the same results.
Anyone have an idea where I messed up?

[Q] Clockwork and no backup

Howdy all, yay another newbie!
Phone is a droid 2, verizon network. I rooted it last night with the super 1click, have SU access, wireless tether and installed rom manager free version.
Flashed cwm recovery to 2.5.08, tried to backup existing rom and had an immediate reboot with no backup made. Tried repeatedly same results, reflashed cwm repeatedly same results. Tried to change the cwm recovery version, and have
2.5.08
2.5.1.4
2.5.1.3
2.5.1.1
listed. But trying to load any but 2.5.08 returns "An error occurred while downloading your recovery.
I tried going into CWM recovery through rom-manager but it immediately reboots back to normal, no recovery screen.
I entered into normal recover and tried to run the 'update.zip' which returns
E:Can't open /cacherecover/command
Install from sdcard
finding update package
opening update package
verifying update package
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
installation aborted
I wiped back to factory through the normal recovery screen and started fresh and am getting exactly the same as before with everything above tried again.
I have not tried installing a new rom, don't want to go that deep until I know I can reset if needed.
Any help or other ideas? What I've been able to find by searching hasn't resolved the problem yet.

flashing issues

hi, my xoom wont let me flash a different rom, i even tried to flash a different recovery (rogue) but it keeps saying
e:cant open (file location)
(bad)
installation aborted
i figured it was because i was flashing using cmw version 3.2.0.0 this is why itried to flash the rogue recovery... help please
Edit: I fixed it

[Q] noob -- stuck in a boot loop, tried the 2.20 unlock method.

I followed the steps from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952038
I successfully unlocked my phone and installed TWRP recovery, but that's as far as I can get. I tried to flash the latest CM10 nightly but hit an error when I run the zip, saying that the MD5 file is not found. I also tried to separately flash the boot.img from the CM10 zip, but it didn't help.
I've cleared my cache and factory wiped (through recovery), but I'm still stuck in the boot loop and can't get to the OS. Please help!!
I think the problem might be that I never actually rooted the phone, despite having unlocked it. Is there a way to root my phone via recovery, since I can't actually boot into it?
I tried to install RebelMod, but i hit an error saying "Unable to mount /data" -- I'm assuming that's because it's unrooted?
you want to root a stock ROM?
flash superuser downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
update: i managed to flash RebelMod successfully (according to TWRC) by running the zip file, but I'm still stuck in the boot loop even after doing a Factory Reset thru TWRC.
am I missing something?
wait a sec -- I got it working after I flashed the boot.img with fastboot.

[Q] Keeps rebooting to CWM Recovery (Status 7) error

Hi guys -- new to this phone, which i bought unlocked and rooted.
I tried to flash CM 11, and had the zip files on the external sd. When installing the ROM, I get a set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed E: error in .......d2vzwzip (Status 7) Installation aborted error. (Are you only supposed to install from internal SD?)
I now can't get past the Recovery 6.0.1.2 touch interface, and have no backups. I also can't get my phone to connect to PC via USB, even after installing Samsung drivers. Im sure this has been answered elsewhere, but any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
I had a similar issue. I cannot flash cm11 because i got a flash error "E:....". I tried latest TWRP and CWM touch/non touch still didn't work. to fix the bootloop i had to flash with odin. even after that can't flash cm11. I have grown to much dislike the sgs3. TW is so clunky and slow.

[Q] phone flashing error and RUU errors.

I searched the forum and tried almost everything and it doesn't seem to fix my problem.
-The phone when booted normally will go into the logo then reboot automatically to recovery mode. (does not go into the actual OS)
-When i tried to flash CM from CWM recovery, i have the error (status 7) (tried twrp as well)
- When trying to flash RUU, it gets error 155 unknown error... i tried both using the exe files and flashing the OTA zip files using the all in one kit
i am not sure what else to do. i hope i can get some solutions to fix this.
More informatico?
Root, unlocked bootloader, stock or custom ROM, hboot...
It was rooted and bootloader unlocked but i forced RUU or something and it kinda worked. but the OS still doesn't load up. hboot is 2.15 and it was originally CM 10. custom rom. It was having problems as it keep shutting off when its in standby mode, I wanted to reflash it and reset it but it didn't work really well.
Bump. Help please. still have problems.
