Help Have I killed my phone?

Went to upgrade to latest CWM nightly today. Got a message that installation was aborted and went back to the Recovery menu. Tried to install zip from sd card etc. to no avail. I just keep getting the Galaxy SIII boot screen for about 30 secs then returns to CWM Recovery menu. I can only move files to the phone via SD card as the micro usb pins are no good. Can anyone help here? BTW I did have root but a message flashed up once that there was a problem with root, but didn't see it fully.
 
So you still have recovery but system won't boot? Do you have a nandroid backup or a rom on the internal or external sd you could flash? Take it you tried clearing cache?
I don't think you've killed it :)
 
Hey there ozhog!
I don't know how nightlies work (as far as dirty flashing or wiping then flashing).
As funky said, if you still can get into recovery, you're fine;) You didn't kill it.

What carrier do you have?....perhaps we can move this thread into the root forum for your device/carrier where others who are rooted can chime in:)
 
If it's a rom, usually a dirty flash (but wipe cache and dalvik) is fine mate.
Not sure if it's a typo though but the OP said he flashed a CMW nightly. Did you mean CM nightly op?
