Hi, i have a rooted Xperia X10 with custom rom installed but i want to sell it. My question is, can i format my phone's internal SD card directly without losing root or causing any problems?
You can do a factory reset and then root!

Yes, you can safely format it without losing root.
formatting sd card has no relation wid root. u can format with recovery or else in pc.

Can someone let me know what they are using to check partitions on their removable sd cards. I have partitioned in the past using the 4ext recovery on my old G2 but now want to get rid of the ext,.....
also what format is best to use for the whole card? 4EXT / fatext or what?
Thanx all!!!!
Please help guys,.....
I thought this would have been can easy one for ppl to give suggestions on?
Also I don't have a separate card reader so need to be able to do it from the phone itself or by having it connected via usb.
Pleeeeeeaaaassssseeee help.

You will need to format the card on the phone itself..it will partition in FAT32 format..this is the format S3 used..you can try NTFS but only Siyah kernel will work with it AFAIK..
FAT32 is the format to use here,,
Thank Z.
So if I format through Cwm recovery it will also get rid of all partitions right?....... Data / swap / extdata?...... I don't actually remember how many partitions are on it.

Format it using the Format option present in Storage under settings..or connect it to a PC and format is as FAT32 ..all the partitions will be deleted and you will have a brand new FAT32 partitioned ExtSdcard.
Thanks again pal. Appreciated.

hi all can somebody direct me to modding the sgs3 as i am doing it for a friend need some steps like do i have to unlock bootloader before i root and stuff i am using hox so new to sgs3
Galaxy S3 has an unlocked bootloader, use CF-root to root it. The GS3 also uses a flash counter, if you root or flash a custom rom it will trip the flash counter, and unless it's reset with triangle away even if you reflash stock you may not be able to claim warranty.
Check out the development section for some mods (there is also a sticky in the general with some mods, and roms.)
No, Sammy bootloaders aren't locked (except verizons b*stard child S3)
Flash cf-root 6.4 via odin and you are rooted and have recovery.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
soft brick please help with firmware i can flash through odin
Just go into recovery and wipe data/factory reset.
Get into recovery by holding vol up + home + power.
Try that first.

tryed it need to put a rom onto the internal memory but it not letting me mount sd to comp
And how did you delete your system?
It should boot after doing a wipe, unless you formatted your system partition.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
think i formatted system via super wipe for arhd
Christ sake, another person f*cking themselves up because of that script.
Why didn't you follow the instructions properly? Especially the part where it says put the ROM you want to flash on the external SD?
You need to boot into download mode and flash a firmware via Odin.
Sammobile.com is where you need to go now.

am going to try put arhd on a extern sd and try flash that way will that work n i didnt put it onto exsd because i have arhd on my hox so didnt think to do that as i said doing for a friend
Ya put it on the external SD and flash from there.
Superwipe wipes internal storage, which is retarded, but that's how that dev does it.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
How did that dev not see this coming with the useless super wipe. But yeah put a Rom on your ext sd send flash. Or flash a stock rom through Odin and start again.

That's because hox has no external SD so wiping internal SD would cause this problem every time someone used that pointless script.
Its an absolute joke of a script, it shouldn't touch the internal storage.

Hi to All,
After some search, i cound't find a solution to the following problem.
With jelly bean, the management of the external/internal sd card is at least tricky. I would like to install my apps by default on the (larger) external sd card, but without rooting my phone (not to loose orange cinema series, an app from orange france that doesn't work if the telephone is rooted).
I tried various possibilities without success, but i think that the right direction could be swapping the internal and external sd card by using adb or similar. Anybody has a good suggestion? anybody that succeeded?
Best,
Piero
Why would you "not" root your phone?
Well, anyway.. have you tried app2sd in the market? I dunno if you need to be rooted to use it
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Not ALL app are moveable to sd card. Only one that support it. You need root for forcing app to instal sd card but yoy dont need root to move supported app.

Doesn't rooting voids the warranty ?
