Help Rooting Recovery Issue

I was attempting to root my samsung galaxy s3 (US Cellular version) using the following method.


  1. Download the Root zip file from here. Unzip its contents and save them in a folder on your computer
 
Can your phone boot normally? If so, then chances are the recovery you flashed is a dud and you have to find and flash in a new recovery to your phone. (Though, if i'm not mistaken you won't be able to boot up your phone).
Most probably you messed up your partition, in which case it will take a whole lot of work to recover. Anyhow, this might help you
Clockworkmod not working anymore...can't mount/open cache error - xda-developers

Otherwise I would recommend that you go for TWRP next time around. P.S. did you by any chance had "Re-Partition" ticked in Odin when you flashed in the recoverY?
 
My phone booked completely normally and I found a program that basically auto-rooted the phone since this one appeared to be non-functional. Thanks!!
