Help Continuous boot, assert failed troubles (Help)



So I posted a help thing about EFS a while back and didnt get to much help with that but i managed to figure things out. Now however
ive got myself into another predicament i cant seem to get out of.

So, from the start, i have a galaxy s3 (GT i-9305T) it was rooted, i still had the stock rom, but was running the beoffla kernal.
The idea was to download and install "JustArchi I9300XXUGML2 stock, deodexed and all the rest" then start finding
some nice themes. Ive got philz_touch_6.07.9-i9305.tar installed for my recovery.

This is where the trouble starts...


So first off i wipe the cache and the davik cache, go to install the rom then i get this: (ill go from installing update)

assert failed: write_raw_image (" /tmp/boot.img" , " /dev/block/mmcblk0p5" )
E: Error in /storage/sdcard1/Just archi........zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted


Now i looked up a whole heap of pages to see if i could sort it out myself and i tried a few different things,
none of which have prevailed. First i tried to reflash an insecure boot image then try again, nup. I tried to
flash back to stock recovery and re format (No errors) then back to custom. Mounted /data and /system
and re formatted which worked with no error, still same error when flashing rom though. Also tried flashing
with different custom recovery, no luck there either.

There were a few other things i tried but i cant really remember what i did because
this has been a problem for a while now. Some of the pages i looked over for
information were:

assert failed: write_raw_image("tmp/boot.img",
[Q] assert failed: write_raw_image("tmp/boot.img","boot") - xda-developers

And this is the one im on at the moment, im currently downloading a stock rom from sammobile to try flash.

[Q][I9305T] 10.2 Upgrade Boot never stops/Unable to format /Data - xda-developers

"UPDATE"
Finished downloading the stock rom, tried to install with philz recovery and got this:

Installing: /storage/sdcard1/I9305TDVBME2_I9305TTELBME1_TEL (STOCK).zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package....
Installing update...
Installation aborted.


And thats it, no kind of specific error codes or anything.


Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out,
really stuck on this one.​
