I rooted my Galaxy S3 today. Cool. I had CWM 5.5.0.4 installed and everything.
Having 2 different ROM's installed on my SD card, I did a factory reset and tried installing one of them.
Status 7 error.
So I tried flashing the other.
Status 7 error.
No biggie. I'll just restore my nandroid backup.
But I already wiped and my nandroid backup is corrupt. Awesome.

Now all I have is a phone that boots into recovery, or download mode.
But, of course, that recovery aborts any installation of any ROM whatsoever.
What can I do now? :/

I tried loading the stock ROM back to the phone via Odin, but this is what happens:
<ID:0/005> Added!!
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> Can't open the specified file. (Line: 214)
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)


Can you say "FML"? What can I possibly do to just get this phone booting?
