It is weird and shouldn't look like that. Did you do anything that might have caused it? I think I know what you should do but I want to make sure.

I think i followed the steps correctly, I flashed CWM and did a backup, then formatted the stuff, then the phone would not reboot to unzip cyanogen.

you don't need to reboot
you need to flash it right after those formating
and the file needs to stay as a zip to be flashable so what did u mean by unziping it
also after you flash it won't hurt to wipe data/factory reset and also wipe cache

Ahhhhhh, silly me, I think I understand now! Thanks for the help dude!
Hey, I seem to have gotten myself into a pickle. Here's what happened: I wanted to do an update to Cyanogenmod 10.2, so I downloaded the ROM and gapps. I wiped dalvik, cache, and system and flashed the ROM. When I tried to flash the gapps Clockwork Mod said it was corrupt. No problem, turned the phone off, pulled micro usb card and put the gapps on that. The only problem is now I can't boot into recovery at all, with the Power+down option and ROM Manager crashes when I try to open it. So the problem is that I can't boot into recovery and I can't reinstall ROM Manager because I don't have gapps. Titanium Backup is also having problems and can't get root access. Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem is or how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

See if you can find an odin flashable recovery. There's probably one in the development forum. Flash that.

Maybe you have to flash a different pit-file first. Some updates from Samsung repartioned the system and other ROMs are not compatible with it. Please check for the size of you system. If it is any bigger that 8.9GB, you have to flash the according pit file first.

The best thing you could do right now is to reflash the rom again , and make sure your doing a full wipe , cache/dalvik/factory reset or if your using a philz recovery go ahead and choose Factory reset/Wipe to install a new rom" option or something like that.or either you can use tamirda's Superwipe from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2379104. then install the rom and i hope this fix your problem. Have a nice day.

very strange!
So i finally rooted and went into twrp. This is the first rom im installing. Ive done this whole root thing for a little over 4 years now.
I went to do a wipe, system, cache, dav....and its been stuck on "factory reset" for 10 mins now what do i do. did i do something wrong?
formatting cache using make_ext4s function" is what its saying
the phone shut of and i thought it was done for. It did reboot but nothing was wiped. am i doing something wrong here?
normally you just go into the twrp, slide to wipe everything, install rom, gapps, wipe cache and dav and reboot.

Crap guessing you don't have a backup......try using koush universal drivers to get your phone recognized...and use adb to sideload a ROM or use adb to push the philz cwm recovery zip to your recovery

If you want to sideload a ROM its easy and I'll guide you through or you can push a zip with adb to your recovery
