Hi-
Did a search but could not find an answer to this question, so.....
I am getting my GS3 tomorrow and have a ton of apps, music, etc. on my current SD card. Can I just move the card to the new phone and expect that at least the music will be ready to play? I really don't care about the apps/data that my have to be reinstalled on it, but I have over 25GB of music that I really don't want to have to copy over again. Any help here would be most welcome. BTW, i am currently runing ICS 4.04. TIA!

Just in case not.
One read the rules that includes use search .
Two backup your EFS folder before flashing .This one is critical .

As noted in my OP, I did search. And, I am not flashing anything. Again, as originally stated, I am upgrading my phone. But gee, thanks...

Hey guys and gals, I was thinking about using the 3DRoot-5 temporary root script , so I can restore all my apps from my old SD card with Titanium Backup. Can anyone please share their experiences in detail?
Thanks.

In the Developement section there are multiple guides to getting Titanium Backup to work. I'd check them out and see what you think will work best for you. Probably shouldn't have started a whole new thread for this, but good luck getting it working.
Thanks.

Haha....nothing's safe around here LOL....and I wasn't trying to be a d*ck either. Just saying everyone seems to have a different experience with different methods. You just need to find one you're comfortable trying and give it a go. Plenty of info is available, read, and make sure you understand what you're doing before you do it.
Yeah, I feel you.
I did find a script in that area with the busybox, SU, etc all in one. Thanks for the directional opinion

But also, if this is just for putting apps from your old SD card on your phone...can't you just throw on your old card and transfer apps to your internal memory? Or copy the apps onto your computer and then into your current SD card?
Good luck
Dude, if I could xfr my apps to my pc I would be straight!! And, then load them back to my 3D?? That would be sweet.

Hi guys,
I need to install and run Triangle Away but have one problem. As I have deleted the EFS partition on my phone, I can not get wifi or radio to work which is stopping triangle away from downloading and installing the add-on that it requires when you run it the first time. Does anybody know how I might be able to get this working. Can I download this addon from my laptop and then copy to phone ? USB is working, just not wifi or radio.
Thanks for any help.
download and install perseus kernel (probably others also) and it shouldn't ask you for addon (at least it didn't on mine).. that is if you have ICS.

whoops sorry. i did read the rules but missed that part. cheers.
You deleted the EFS? I'd be worrying much more about that than resetting the binary flash counter... you essentially have a $800 MP3 player right now. Either way I think what you are asking for is the flash kernel, I might be able to get that for you in the morning.

If you have deleted efs folder,
install a stock official rom via odin.
It will re create your efs folder.
You will have every thing but imei
however you need to bother this if you want to send it for warranty repair. Otherwise you can send it as it is for paid repair.

Also wanted to mention that I did not intentionally delete the EFS. This occured somewhere between install Omega JB (including Siyah Kernel post Omega install) and then down grading to Omega ICS. I do recall seeing the sdcard partition name change from sdcard0 and back to sdcard from JB to ICS though nobody has commented on whether this was any reason to be concerned.
Hi...were you able to.recover your imei? How?
Im having the same problem due to.efs folder.
Thanks
Why choose to resurrect this long dead thread? Search for the hundreds of identical efs folder threads and you will quickly learn that there is no way to recover the efs unless you made a backup. Take it to a repair centre and have them recode it for you, make sure it works on 4.3 before you pay.

Hoping someone can help me figure out the easiest way to move my larger games (and save data, if applicable) from my internal memory to the 64gb external SD card I originally planned on using it all for.. I recently rooted my phone and the first thing I wanted to get done is this memory move. Been having nothing but problems so far.. I saw a video showing someone using a program called GL to SD and it looked easy but I keep getting 'insufficient storage space' errors when I try downloading it off the play store. I tried side loading it too but received another similar error only after successfully downloading it, then trying to install.. Something seems to be blocking this program from working, regardless..
Anyway, also tried Link2SD to no avail and I was just hoping someone here may be able to help me a bit, kinda new to the scene here.. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Do you mean something like "directory bind" on xda?
What android version do you have? Is it a gt-i9300?

I actually have the Cricket version, so it's the SCH-R530C GS3... I'll go into a program like App2Sd or Link2SD and I keep getting the 'your device is not supported because your device has a primary external storage which is emulated form the internal storage' error.. Not sure about 'directory bind' or what that means, sorry, I'm pretty new to this..

OK this is the i9300 forum, so probably wrong place?
But by version, I meant Android. 4.0.4, 4.1.1, 4.1.2 etc? Because Directory bind works up to 4.1.2 but not 4.2.1

Hmm... I was able to download the program but it again tells me 'out of space' when I try installing the program. I have over 2gb left on my internal memory.. any ideas why I keep having this problem?
Something you did with the other apps probably. Revert. But you may have to reset

Alright, I have a new dilemma it would seem.. I just used ROM manager to flash the newest cyanogenmod ROM to my phone. The first time I did it, it successfully backed up my system data, then errored out after trying attempting to backup user data. I went back in and made sure to back up everything via Titanium Backup, then retried flashing this time without selecting backup (still chose to wipe cache/dalvik. Everything seemed to be going fine after that, it installed the ROM successfully but after booting up again (with the new cyanogenmod logo and everything), I keep getting 2 errors that keep popping up... 1) Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped. and then 2) Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped.. Anyone know what this could be or how to go about fixing this possibly? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Oh. Thanks, sorry about that. Could you be so kind as to point me to the correct forum here on XDA possibly? My phone is pretty much bricked right now and I need it for work tomorrow. This is the kind of thing I was worried about when I decided to ROOT this thing. I'm freakin out right now.. I've asked this same questing on the Cricket Users forum and noone has helped me just yet..
EDIT: without having to flash anything new, possibly you could tell me how to revert back to what I originally had without too much trouble? I searched these forums to find nothing at all for the Cricket version. I did my homework before flashing the rom and it was definetly okayed for my phone. Again, any help would be a life saver.. Would it be advisable to install the original root package from my sd card again? Could that hurt anything?

Many people have spent a lot of time creating tutorials for beginners like you. Please search the forum for your answer. And yes, flashing a custom rom voids your warranty, but you can always return to the stock software.

(1) for backups etc. have a look in the stickies and FAQ thread of the Q&A section, all included in the how-tos
(2) should you update? decide for yourself...if you cannot live without "these features" I guess you have no other choice
(3) is it safe? nothing is 100% safe

Agree and that is due to multiple guides posted all over the place and often repeating those that are stickied .Its a fact of questions and other junk posted in General section cluttering up and hiding the guides .
But as 99% refuse to even start by reading post one why put any effort in to make it more accessible .
In my view we should have one section with Q&A including all general topics . Plus one locked section for guides and faqs with new posts at the discretion of the mods only .

That's a really good idea. Unfortunately it would need to be a site wide change, which would be hard to get admin buy in for. They could perhaps have a "lesser" mod, like a guide admin user base that could manage that for each device, because they would need to understand teh guides and if they were accurate or not anyway.
You should suggest it

That's actually a great idea indeed, you got my vote .
The only challenge will be then, and I guess it is valid not only for XDA but also in real life, how to get people to read first and not go the "easy" way of posting/asking the same old question.
Nevertheless a guide/faq section would be a good start.

That isn't totally true, im on 4.2.2 custom for 3 weeks now and can't say it's less stable than 4.1.2
Rooting always voids your warranty, it means it's on your own risk. Sometimes when you soft-brick your phone you can go back to stock, for what i've read.
