Super Wipe

I would grately appreciate if any Dev can make a flashable zip, like the one Darkside made for the s2
Or I'm wondering if I can still use the darkside one, b4 I flash a new ROM on my S3?

I read the OP but it says its gonna wipe my internal SD card, such as data and media.
I got a bunch of movies on my Int. SD card, so do I have to move them to my SD card?

That or back them up to a pc. Superwipe wipes everything but external sd.
Sounds like you are looking for something more like the factory reset through cwm or twrp.

I had the s2 but I always used the script from darkside, it didn't touch my SD card even the internal.
If u got time check it out and you'll see what I'm looking for.

Just go into cwr and mounts and storage and format system, data, and cache.
It will accomplish the same thing

Can I delete CWM backup blobs?

Is it possible to delete the backup blobs in CWM? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, in the clockworkmod folder on the sdcard there is a folder called blobs, erase it and you will get alot of free memory

You won't be able to restore to the backups that those blobs pertained to.

Ahhh! Wait. Deleting the /blobs folder would be very bad, if you wanted to restore backups! See this post by CWM's developer:

Some of you may be thinking "well, how do I delete a backup?".
First, never delete the blobs directory. This would actually delete all your backups by rendering them unusable.
Simply delete the usual backup directory, and the next time you run a backup, all the unused hash files will be automatically delete (a process known as garbage collection). The recovery will show "Freeing space..." while this is happening.

No I mean will the backups that I make with twrp still work when I restore them on twrp. Even though I deleted cwm blobs backuo

I don't think the TWRP backups should have anything to do with the blobs folder. (i could be wrong but i don't think i am) And i love your galaxy S3 rom reviews.

Make sure again ur preferred install location is ext sd card...Try formatting the card ..Still doesnt work try with a different memory card..May be the sd card is corrupted..

On formating it will work but some of them say that main cause is rooting...

Not because of rooting. Of-course, this can be resolved only by root option. The same problem happened to me 2 or 3 times while i install it manually from SD-card (App downloaded from other website and not from playstore).
Follow steps for installing manually from SD-card
You need
ES File Explorer
Rooted Phone
First Open ES File Explorer
On the left Tab you will see Tools
Click Root Explorer
Click One Key Install
Navigate to location of the APK file
Just click the file

This worked for me. If it works for you too. Press Thanks :fingers-crossed:​

Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

This is the Sprint section correct? Sprint phones are US variants right? My sig says I support the S3 and Galaxy Nexus right? Your signature says SPH-L710 right? Too many rights for it to be wrong.
If you sprint phone is not one of the new ones with the issue mounting storage then yes this will work for you. This updates your bootloader, fimware/modem to the latest md4 updates.

Thanks ed. I wasn't sure because I had the JTAG done. I really thought this s3 was history. I wanna get it back to my 100% liking before I bother to fix this glass I broke. But this isn't the first time you helped me out and for that a million thanks dude

I can not get that file to show up in twrp. I can flash it through too manager but I don't really want to do that how do I get it to show up?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

You downloaded that file right? When you boot into recovery click on flash zip from internal storage that's where it should be. Then look in the download folder.
When you download files you should be able to choose the download path, so that you know exactly where it's going.
I download everything to my external storage (sd card) then using root explorer I move it to my file system which I set up, roms, kernels, apps, mods, so on....

That's because you have flashed a 4.2 rom and your internal storage has moved to a different location. It's there you just need to find the correct path.

Help please

So I'm new to the s3 I successfully rooted and installed cwm. I made a back up of my stock 4.1.2 ROM but when I installed a new ROM my back up went away. On my previous phones in cwm when you wipe data it didn't wipe any backup. Now it did. How can I prevent this from happening and and does anyone please have a 4.1.2 stock t mobile ROM cwm backup!? Would be very much appreciated

It should be on the root of the internal storage. To prevent this, stick to one version of the os. No one is going to give you their backup/nandroid. Go through the development section, there's a few 4.1.2 stock Roms with root.

It would be under the /0 if op made the backup after flashing and booting up the ROM.

What do you mean stick to one version of os. Does anyone have a backup without logging in to a gmail account. So its completely stock
Sent from my SCH-R760 using Tapatalk

In my past experience with cwm wiping data always wiped the internal storage.. So one way to prevent it from happening is to make backups to the external sdcard instead of internal.. I don't know how it works now because I've been using twrp for a while now.. And there is stock ROMs in the development section, you can just download one and flash it

Normally rom backup is secured and will not be wiped
You can download es file explorer and give root permission
Go to /device,- mnt folder - shell folder - you will find cwm folder and in that backup folder containing your all backup
Try it
