installing custom roms - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been having a weird problem installing roms to my rooted galaxy s3 I9300
i have the phone rooted, i have it backed up with nandroid, and i have clockwork mod recovery on the phone.
when i boot it into recovery mode the phone doesnt see the roms i have on the SD card. from all videos of "how to install" they were left in the zip folder therefore i decided to leave them there.
any ideas anybody?

Are you selecting sdcard then ext sdcard?
Otherwise its looking in phone not external

Gs3 international internal-external memory swap mod problem

Hi mates.. i tried to swap sd card and internal sd by flashing zip from android development forum. Everything was fine..
But for now, i cant see my "real" internal memory, on cwm it says "failing mount sd", "not found android secure" etc.., and when i see music player i see double all of my mp3's..
Ps; I did clean install: once flash rom, then without first boot i flashed mod.
Any idea?

[Q] internal sd

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.

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

You can flash custom roms only after Rooting your device.

Hello,
If you like someone to help you, you must provide clear description of your problem - just precisely describe step by step what you did using understandable English.
For example what does it mean?:
"transferred my sd card" - what card (internal, external) what transfered? All data? or maybe you took out your external card and put to friends phone???
"put a zip" - what zip? containing what?
"my friends app don't work" - what app? etc etc
I think, noone yet answered you because the others are cofused as much as I am. So decribe it better + provide information on what rom/kernal you are, then we will see how to help.
Regards
I had a boot loop problem, cause I changed the boot logo. so I used my friends ext SD card to flash the stock boot logo. my friend had apps on the ext SD card and when he put his card back in his phone some apps mostly games were there but its icon was replaced with a gray icon that said 'SD' and when I launch it it says application not installed. wierd because when I go to manage applications it appears. and thx for the reply

Unfortunately I think that it concerns apps which were installed (moved) to external SD card and after removing SD card from the phone, data on the card could have been broken/corrupted, so that after putting the card back to the phone apps can't be recognized.
I'm not big optimist but you can try:
- move apps back from external sd to internal one (probably not possible)
- Back up the apps - if they are visible by eg. TitaniumBackup
- Unmount, mount again external sd card and reboot the phone
Regards
tried and didn't work. thx anyways m8

It's true, the files have become corrupt. All you can do is uninstall them, and re install.

Well, I learnt my lesson, always backup everything on a ext sd

great that you got it working, i would recommend trying to s-off your phone just because... so flashing rom's and fixing problems if any happens in the future will be easier
yea I know, It looked pretty bleak for a while where i basically couldn't do anything with the phone,
I will look into s-off
fix

Well what I did was connected my phone to the computer using a USB and while in recovery turned on USB stowrge, the on the computer I formwted the internal SD card. After that go and mount
But be warned that you will lose all your data

Do you have a working sd card. TWRP will see external as well as internal storage. Place sd card into computer , download rom onto card, place back into your galaxy then boot back into recovery and flash from sd card.

If you have a rom in your computer you can adb sideload from recovery and will flash.
Probably too late tho since you replied 4 hours ago lol
