[Q] Memory/Removing ROM?

I've been trying to figure out how to remove my rom since my phone will not allow me to download anything. It doesnt matter if it's from the market or a different ROM that I've tried to download. They're all unsucessful and I've yet to figure it out. Any help???
Are you getting a low memory error or something along those lines?

Is SD full? Is it formatted FAT32?

Try Wipeling data, cache, and dalvik cache through recovery. If that doesnt work will try reflashing gapps. If that doesn't work do a full wipe again and flash another rom.

When I have issues I save everything from internal SD card to my PC then load the ROM files to ext SD. Then I go to recovery > wipe. Then do Factory reset, system and data. That way its all clean. Don't wipe external.

install it from your internal card, NOT your external card..
Flash the latest TWRP and re download the time and flash again.

[Q] Internal memory after flashing

How much internal memory should I have left a after flashing a room.
I'm on liquidsmooth 2.3 official and I have like 1 gb of internal mem left. I was flashing 4.1.1 roms earlier to see if I wanted to change roms and I noticed that I also had only about 1-2 gb of internal mem left.
Should I be having more? I need 2gb for a game that I just bought and I can't do that if I only have 1 gb left over

Depends how many files you have on your internal memory. You probably have too many, I have 8.92gb available

Factory reset will only delete apps in internal memory and some settings, no other things.. If you use format data it will delete everything in your internal memory but I would be very careful with that because you would obviously lose any files, backups, pictures, or any other things you have in there.. Just browse your internal memory with a file explore and clean anything you don't want or need anymore, or simply back everything up and completely wipe it

Formating doesn't wipe my sd card does it? Think I read that in twrp it wipes sd card. Or is this false?

[Q]Formatting Internal SD Card

Hi!
I have tried googling answers, but I can't seem to find a clear one. My question is, how can I format the internal SD card? I remember from my past android phones (skyrocket, infuse, HTC vivid) I was able to format the internal through settings. I can't seem to do that now...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How do I do that? All I see is wipe system, cache, data but can't see format internal.

In cwm, go to mounts and storage, there should be an option that says format external sd.
While the phone is on, go into system settings and the syorage, scroll down it ahould let u format the sd card from there aswell.

Cannot complete reboot after flashing Rom

Good day fine community.
My Galaxy S3 i747M(Rogers) stays stuck @ Galaxy S3 screen after flashing this ROM S3Rx 3.0 TouchWiz 4.3 MJB (1-27-14) Full AROMA.
1. First succesfully flashed 4.3 bootloader and MK5 modem from within a 4.1 ROM
2. Then used TRWP, full wipe, formatted internal sd, flashed ROM and loaded well.
3. Then attempted a Nandroid, which for some reason stayed almost an hour in the "backing up system data", so I cancelled it when the "cannot finish" message appeared.
4. Then rebooted, and now stays stuck in Galaxy S3 screen.
I redid 1, 2 and 4, and still stuck, even if I let the phone rest for more than 10 minutes.
For the life of me, it seems to be a bootloader issue, but I am unsure.
Anyone has any idea what I did wrong?
Thank you.
Try wipe of /system and all other wipes that you can apply. These are under the advanced section of your recovery
This will wipe your whole phone. Then try and reboot

Builtnoob, did that. My sd card was fully wiped, as well as cache and dalvik. Thanks for the input.

Shortydogg, once i flashed and was in the launcher, and alk was working fine, I rebooted in to recovery to do nand. Even if the nand was uncuccessfull, i should still be able to boot into the rom, since it was already running. That is my question: how come it stays stuck at boot. Thx for looking into it.

Usually first boot takes a good half hour at times. Give it some time. However this could be due to a faulty flash. Or some corruption of data. Use twrp to mount your internal memory. Then redownload the ROM and reflash .

Did you format the internal SD or did you format the system, data, and cache from recovery?
audit13, I formatted everything but my ext sd card. Tonight I will try again, this time with fresh download and wiping cache and dalvik after flashing, before booting, and will report back. Thanks guys.

Don't forget the /system wipe as a lot of the stock ROMs do need it

An easier fix may be to just flash a pre-rooted 4.3 ROM that is made for the Bell, Telus or Rogers version of your phone. Then, load a custom recovery to flash custom ROMs.

Buildnoob, thanks for the info. I did fresh install and wiped cache and dalvik after flash and now all is well.
Thanks guys for the help.
