did you try to change RAM with SD card? I mean to swap them. Like, to cheat the smartphone he believes that sd card is his internal memory? I'm sorry for asking, but i'm not english speaking, can't understand "tried to flash a new rom"...

I have got a samsung GS3 which i would like to flash a custom ROM on.
The phone is rooted and i have done
Get into the CWM recovery
Wipe Data/factory reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik-Cache
Wipe Battery Stats
Wipe Data/factory reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik-Cache
Wipe Battery Stats
Install the wipe version of this ROM
The problem is that even after all of that formating and deletings there are still some old files on the phone like airdroid, total recall,....
Can someone explain please how to get rid of that?
Is there a way to flash a ROM from the external card and if not where do i need to put it in internal storage?
TIA
You won't get rid of all files on the internal memory. The wipe process does wipe the memory clean but the phne uses the internal for its own storage and sets it up respectively.
You may have a few extra files added if you flash a stock rom as it too may add a few system files....
To check, go to system>storage. You should have around 12Gb of storage if you own a 16Gb phone or about 28/29Gb if its a 32Gb phone...
thanks for that. Maybe got an idea how to flash from external sd card or where to put the zip file on internal memory?
You can flash Roms using Mobile Odin which claims to be S3 compatible but I never tried, and anyway i'd stick to flashing from Pc because it's a lot more reliable.
Hi there
Using ARHD 9.0 at the mom but would like to try the criskelo latest.
When i installed the ARHD i followed the instruction and placed the Rom file on my EXT sd card, then proceded on superwipe which removed everything on my INTERN SD card, and then installed the rom from my EXT sd card which remained intact... so far so goog!
Now on Crickelo instruction they say to save the Rom on my INTERN sd card, go into recovery nandroid etc.. and then WIPE DATA FACTORY RESET + WIPE CACHE PARTITION + DANS ADVANCED/WIPE DALVIK CACHE...
Will i not loose everything on my INTERN sd card if i do so included my saved Rom? Isn't wipe data factory reset like superwipe?
Sorry just a bit confused here and any help will be appreciated
Thanks you
Wipe data/ factory reset in recovery doesn't wipe phone internal memory. Just proceed as instructed by the OP.
Accident do happens. Backup important files is always recommended

thanks a lot for your reply
Hey guys,
So my Skwiftkey was acting up so I decided to clear cache in "manage apps". Instead of hitting "clear cache" I hit "clear data".
Now my keyboard doesn't show up anymore, I get that annoying message and also my phone isn't reading my SD card anymore :/
Appreciate any help
(I have CM10.1 installed)
Because SwiftKey go to settings > language & input > default
And set SwiftKey again (maybe activate, too.
For all the other prob try a reboot first.
If same problem go to recovery and wipe dalvik cache and cache one.

The problem seems to be that the phone outright doesn't read the SD card at all, doesn't even pick it up (however it can on ClockworkRecovery).
So I can't even backup my stuff to an SD card before I wipe cache or data and do another install.
Any ideas guys?

No, wiping cache and wiping dalvik cache won't delete the data or apps (only factory reset or format * would do)
So u can try this.
If u r able to access sd card in recovery and u have the zip from rom there, u can reflash Rom once (without wipe)
Just try this things and only if nothing works and no other idea comes, do a factory reset (not earlier)

Tried wiping dalvik and cache. Tried installing from sd card. Still didn't work!
And I can't wipe data because I need to backup my contacts and messages but I can't do that because my phone can't read my SD card and literally every backup app requires that I have an SD card inserted :/
Any other ideas guys? I could re do everything but I would need a backup, and without a backup I'm stuck with a useless phone
..if i install a new Firmware? my I9300 stuck in bootlood and I will like to keep my data after i've installed a new firmware.
THX in advance

Depends on how you try to solve the bootloop, if you have a custom recovery then clearing cache and dalvik might help but you'll probably have to factory reset -which will wipe the internal sd card.
Flashing a new firmware won't wipe the internal sd, but probably won't result in your phone booting again until you factory reset first.
Hey,
I'm using CM11 ROM with my I9300.
My phone has a boot loop problem. Few seconds (about 20~30) after it turns on, it goes off.
The problem appeared suddenly, after a night that the device was charged.
Tried deleting cache / dalvik cache / data and didn't succeed.
I'm sure it isn't a problem with the button because on recovery mode I can stay for long as I want.
Thanks
EDIT: I'm not sure I actually succeeded with wiping data/factory reset. when i click on it in the recovery (CWM) it says "wiping data... formatting /data" and turns off 2 seconds afterwards. Is there a way to factory reset the device through PC?
If possible,try making a complete backup on external sd card. Then, wipe data,system,cache and everything else. Next,download a rom suitable for your phone model,copy to external sd card,and then go in custom recovery. There install that rom from external sd card.
Just remember, don't wipe out external sd card,remember to take it out before every wipe. You don't want losing things from your external sd card.
