If you've never partitioned it before, then its not partitioned.
the thing is i dont know if my friend did or not if it is partitioned and i try to do it again will it hurt anything

Ok I know this is probably the stupidest question I have ever ask. I promise I think I know what I'm doing lol. When flashing a custom rom "syndicate frozen" I understand everything from ext4 to clockworkmod3. What I have not figured out yet is how to copy the stupid rom to my sd card? Do I use mass storage? Ps I have the samsung drivers and have rooted my epic. Thanks for all of your help.

If the rom is on ur PC just connect ur phone to ur PC with the mass storage clikck on the rom and drag it to.ur SD card. Make sure u don't put it in any folder then power down ur phone boot into cwm. Then flash the rom and ur good

If I wanted to upgrade my SD card would I lose my root?? Also would i lose my ROM that I'm running also??

Short answer, no. root, rom, kernel, radios, has nothing to do with your sd card except during the installation process.
You may want to move all apps to internal memory first, though.

Every time i use any kind of ics rom i cant install games because it will not intall on sd card. But on gb it works fine anyone have any ideas on this.

Thanked you by accident, but if you are using a repack kernel than you won't be able to. Try flashing stock.
Oh boy...

What modem and kernel are you on?
You have to unmount the SD so it can install on the internal storage.
I have been having the same issue. Running stock kernel and unmounting SD card doesn't seem to help.
Sent from the phone my girlfriend said was too big.
seems like just another reason to stay on GB for a while...

Try mounting your phone to a PC and then installing.
Seem to remember something through kies...maybe im wrong but wasnt there some option when you set up the phone for default save??

Use TWRP recovery instead.

I'm currently using it now but it makes your backup s separate from cwr so your left with two kinds of backups

Hi guys, just got my gs3 last week, coming from the evo 3d. I tried searching and couldn't find anything, but I'm sorry if this has been addressed already. Anyway, once I root, will I be able to backup and flash roms without an sd card? Im just confused because rooting doesnt require one, but I thought that doing data wipes/factory resets in recovery will also wipe the internal device storage. Clarification would be very much appreciated!!

You do not need an sd card.... Twrp or cwm will work without it... I suggest twrp... Which you can find over in the development thread....

Hope this isn't too off topic, but I have a 32gig class 10 sd card from my htc evo and am seriously considering the S3 when I upgrade. Can I use this sd card or do I even need it with the S3?
