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.

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.

It looks like I accidentally formatted my emmc memory and it cannot be seen by my computer. Does anyone know how to manually formatting it to make it functional again? I restored to a factory rom and back to aokp. I can see the memory and add files to it but music app cannot access internal drive. I get two drives in my computer but can only access SD card when I enable memory access. Any help on this will be awesome.

Ill try to be of some help. I'd try reflashing your rom from an external SD card. No guarantees as I've not run into this problem, but it's worth a try.

No luck. I can't use my emmc memory. 8 gig SD is still ok
Here is what I did to fix it...
1) Made a nandroid backup of my RevoHD 6 setup
2) Wipe Data/Factory Reset
3) Wipe Dalvik and Cahche
4) Format EMMC
I then restored from another nandroid backup that I had loaded and I can now open my EMMC from windows computer!
Hello guys.
I wanted to know a high standard way of wiping out my FULL data after installing omega rom. I dont think factory reset is so superior.
My phone should look like a brand new without any extra data but with omega rom.
So please tell me a way. It should be like installing a new windows after a complete format
Thanks.
why do u think factory reset is not "superior"?
Factory reset is good enough. If you still not satisfied then you can try to use super wipe which you can find it in ARHD development thread.

Ok thanks.
One last question.
It says that we have to flash super wipe script in Recovery mode from internal sdcard.
Ok fine.
But then it says that again select option "Install From Internal SDcard" and choose ROM.zip.
*I am installing OMEGA rom. Will its zip be flashable this way?
*I have no external SDcard. Will my ROM.zip (Omega.zip) get removed during wipe process? Then what will i do if this happens?

Then you cannot use super wipe because it will totally wipe your internal memory.
Get an ext sdcard. Is cheap

hi all
when i go into recovery,it does not show my internal sd.only ext sd.
any idea why.
andy
Are you rooted?
Are you on about the CWM or do you mean the stock recovery without root?
hi
was rooted,but all back to stock now.just tried to put jb zip on,then seen no internal sd.
andy
You need to root the phone first mate. Then once you have got CWM then you will have access to the internal memory and the external sd card partions of your phone mate.
Hope this help

No

I'm currently using twrp with the eclipse rom. If I flash cwm then format my internal sd card, then flash back the rom, will I be gtg? Just wondering if I lose root or recovery by formatting the internal sd card. Thanks in advance!

You will not lose root, but you should NOT format your internal SD card, unless on the stock rom. Formatting the internal SD caused a boot loop for many S4 users on custom roms, including me, and the only solution is to ODIN back to stock. There is really no need to format your internal SD. If you don't have enough memory, just see what is taking up the space and delete it manually. If you want a squeaky clean slate, make sure you know how to ODIN to stock first.
Also know that after you ODIN back to stock you WILL need to root again.
Hope this helped.

Thank you for your reply and yes it had clarified. I'm looking to format to clean up all of the framework/mod/extra installs that I have done between roms. I know to Odin back to stock and all of that. Thanks again!
