Help, I failed hard. - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I was installing android 4.4 kitkat update from maclaw, and i did everything good, it booted up and stuff.. Then I wanted to wipe out dalvik and cache, but the thing is that I wiped out dalvik, cache and system, now i dont have OS, but I can access recovery and download mod...
Can someone tell me how to fix this but to keep root?!?"$"!$?!?"!

Way to go.
Then download Odin flashable ROM from maclaw.pl and flash it via Odin.

I rebooted in download mod, it says.. Downloading... Do not turn off your target.

No worries bro, I'm flashing latest CM11 with odin. It should do.

Thank you all for your help, problem solved, I flashed latest release in download mode with odin.. Everything works fine now and a quick tip: Wipe your dalvik and cache if you're using latest CM11 and you didnt do it.. phone is x2 faster.

There you go.

In recovery mode you should also be able to push ROM zip to your SD through ADB.

so you arent bricked then
if you can bet into cwr to install a gb kernel then rstoire if not you wil lneed to use pc odin to flash a rom
Did you wipe cache, dalvik, and factory reset?
Upgrading from GB to ICS will usually loop if you don't reset the phone.
Do not wipe cache, dalvik, or factory reset
In fact, stay away from CWM and use PC-Odin to flash a stock image.

[Q] Galaxy mini won't boot, and kies/odin won't discover it

I wanted to install MIUI on my phone, so i tried it, and it was stuck on task 5/7 and it aborted itself, so i pressed reboot, and now it is stuck on booting screen. I wanted to install android again, but odin didn't discover it, so i tried just discovering it in kies, but it didn't discover it too.

You need CWM to flash custom roms. Stock recovery won't work.

no. it will only wipe user data,app data,and apps you have installed.
but if this is your first time using 4.2 you should backup your sd card to your computer and after you flash the rom and boot up boot back to recovery and wipe your sd card then reboot and restore backup from computer or you will think it wiped everything but it just moves things around for multiuser support
