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?

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.

I just bought a 32gb sd card for my phone. When I try to flash a Rom or do a nandroid backup it fails. Do I need to do anything special? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Make sure your backup is being sent to the sdcard and not internal memory ...cuz the internal memory may be full and therefore causes the back up to fail because there's no room....if your using rom manager go to the settings and it'll let you choose whether you want to do backups with internal or external.....this can also be done within recovery as well but I don't have the options memorized to dictate them to you

Thanked you by accident, but if you are using a repack kernel than you won't be able to. Try flashing stock.
Oh boy...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
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??

Redpill is a kernal that was supposed to enable me to make my 32g memory card actas my internal memory card and cause my inernal memory act as the memory card. As you can tell I'm a nooby
Flash via Odin stock T-Mobile,kernel, mod an see if it fixes the problem

Gotcha. I hadn't heard of it I thought it was a ROM. Well do this restore the backup you made before flashing and see if it works. If that doesn't then restore your phone to stock using the factory image in Odin. If that didn't work.... well we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. If you need help just post back here. By the way can you link me to the kernel?

Will rooting a T989 delete anything in the phones memory or on both internal and external sd cards?

Rooting won't delete anything, but you'll need to have a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) to root device and once you have custom recovery it's really a good idea to also do a nandroid backup with it, that way if anything goes wrong with device you can restore it.
Im glad u mentioned that, exactly how do u perform a "nandroid backup"?
