Only files (such as musik, pics and so on) will be erased. Your rom (incl. root) will not be touched by wiping sd card.

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?

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
How did you root his phone? (What method)
did you flash another rom? (If so what)
Does he have the same memory problems as before or is it worse?
Have you partitioned his SD card into fat32 + ext? And downloaded link2sd/apps2sd or any app to move apps to the ext partition?
Is it just apps or anything he tries to download? (Music/pictures/files etc)
What size is his SD card and is the phone registering it properly?

Going to need a bit more information than that.
What recovery did you install?: Clockwork mod / EXT4 recovery?
How did you return it to stock after flashing the other rom?
Yea its got clockwork mod and yea its back to stock just still rooted
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
So, when you installed clockwork mod originally, you performed a backup in cwm and restored that backup to return it to stock?
What size is his SD card and what space is available on it?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
Yea I did that I thing its 2gb but there's hardly anything on it because he can't install anything I got Rom toolbox pro for him so he could set it up to install directly to sd but it wouldn't work properly
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
I would still check the SD card for space by plugging it into a PC and mounting it as a Hard Drive, even though you think that it is empty hidden files could exist. eg. 1x clockwork mod backup can be 0.5 GB. My last Cronmod ICS backup was 555.5 MB!! and thats a 1/4 of his card used up. so just check it.
Why don't you try flashing a stock like rom?
Try delate all files in data/apps and uninstall Lucky Pather or other app to patching. It's problematic with Google Play. Should help, install Lucky Pather after installing of all apps what u need being with disabled internet connection and ended process Play

I just rooted and flashed the recoveries and it seems to be working ok. however I can't backup my stock rom using the twrp. It will say something like unable to mount sdcard and unable to recreate android secure folder etc. I am pretty sure there is nothing wrong with my sd card and I am not sure if there is something else I have to do before I try to backup anything. Any help would be much appreciated!
Try clockworkmod recovery....

Go into recovery do a factory reset and wipe the internal sd card too.

I would think so, yes
Format system deletes system files
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
So formatting sd card in cwm will retain the rom and the superuser?

android_secure stores encrypted versions of the apps moved to external SD card.....You'll have probably to reinstall some apps. Hopefully the data is intact on the system partition
