The MetroPCS version of the S3 is model # RCH-R530M. By installing the D2MTR ROM, you have changed the build.prop to reflect this. Flashing firmwares for a different model number is extremely risky and you are quite lucky you didn't brick your phone. Try making your backup to external directly from recovery mode. This may just be an issue with ROM Manager.
OK thanks i do my backup directly from recovery in the future
Where i can find step to follow for flashing CM 10.3.1 stable d2att and gapps ???

This is a hack that that allows you to swap internal storage with your external SD card so you can increase your app data storage.
All credits go to original i9300 App2ExtSD Hack by mattiadj. I simply hacked it to work with U.S. versions and also I've added code so it will disable this feature when you don't have a microSD card inserted (app storage will default to internal when no microSD card is inserted).
E.g. If you have 16GB internal storage on Galaxy S3, you can install this witih a 64GB microSD card and swap the storage and get 64GB on your app storage instead of 16GB.
Before you can use this, you will need:
1) Rooted Galaxy S3 (SCH-I535/SPH-L710/SGH-T999/SCH-I747) or also Canadian versions too (i747m, etc...etc...)
2) A ROM/kernel with init.d support!
3) I've only tested this with TouchWiz-based ROMs, so it should work on stock ROMs and any TouchWiz-based ROMs, not sure on CM9 or CM10.
4) You must use the FAT32 or EXTFAT zip file below, depending on what format your microSD Card is in! (e.g. if you have a FAT32 microSD card, use FAT32)
To get this working, simply flash the zip files in your CWM Recovery:
Download and Details:
http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-t...-external-microsd-for-u-s-canadian-galaxy-s3/
If you are on stock ROM or any TouchWiz-based ROMs, you can flash my new HighOnAndroid kernel to get init.d support on your phone here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30718496
If you do not have init.d support, you can also enable on any rooted phone by using Script Manager, here's a quick tutorial:
I recommend you to FORMAT your microSD card once to get camera working flawless before using this hack!
How to disable this:
If for some reason you are having trouble, simply delete /system/etc/init.d/11extsd2internalsd.
OR
if you leave your microSD card out during boot (then re-insert it after), your phone will work as normal (internal storage used for app data).
Sounds awesome thanks

Is it best to wipe first, or will this move all the app data from the internal to the external for you?

It is best to do a wipe to start on a clean slate, or you can also copy the contents of your internal to external.
OR, I like using Titanium Backup to backup app and its data then restore after putting in the microSD card.
it works great, thanks for the mod, will report if I find any problem w/ it.
Great work max! I was using stock rooted rom.. Now I need to look for one I like that has int d support.
Thanks for this though appreciate it!

This is great! I'm curious if this mod sticks if I flash an updated/new rom? Do I need to flash this zip after I flash the rom? Also, what happens if I wipe my phone when I have this mod? Do I need to re flash as well?
Hi XDA,
I just updated to Android 4.2.2 Vanilla RootBox Custom ROM and low and behold i didnt like it. I want to go back to 4.1.2. Should I just do the same procedure in installing ROM's or is there a proper way of doing a downgrade? I'm an Android NOOB needing help from you Android Experts. Help will definitely greatly appreciated. Thanks!
More Power XDA! Thank You!
Well just copy the 4.1.2 ROM to your sd card and wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and then install the rom and you're done

Flash stock rom.
Be sure to do a super wipe before you do that.

4.2 changes the internal sd card formatting due to multiuser support and adds a folder '0' with all your data files and downloads. You will need to use a file explorer to tranfer the contents of the 0 folder back onto the root of your sd card or a lot of your apps will recognise your data etc.

Yes, the other poster was warning you about the changes in files structure 4.1 / 4.2. Big changes due to multi-user account option found in 4.2

].I'm sorry if any of these are dumb question but I'm kinda new to this but if you could please help me it would be greatly appreciated.. so I have wicked rom downloaded to my phone and I believe it is dl to the internal sd. So when I do the wiping that is required to do before flashing... the rom will still be on the internal sd after wipe correct? Also I have the t999 sgs3 but it is unlocked for att. It will still be unlocked right? And when I flash the rom I still put T-Mobile in the set up? Also one more thing how do I know if my phone is ics. Or jb cause I have the v8 jb downloaded I'm sry for all the question I just wanna be 100% before I do this
I'll try to answer a few of them which i can
*wiping won't delete rom files from internal sd
*it'll still be unlocked
*check android version in settings - about 4.0.4 = ics 4.1.x/4.2.x=jb
AFAIK

Performing a factory reset formats everything but the /data/media/ directory, which contains your internal storage.

If you're worried about losing any if your important content, including your nandroid backups, I recommend either transferring your content to a flash drive or to your pc that way you'll always have it and know where to look for it in case anything were to go wrong on your phone. You can also upload your content to a cloud but that can take a bit more time. If this helped please hit thanks as it really does help my status here on XDA.

No. Nandroids are recovery dependant. You would need to revert back to TWRP in oder to restore that backup and vice versa if a backup was made in CWM. Install GooManager from the Play Store, hit menu, then select "Install Openscriptrecovery" to flash the latest TWRP.

You can either delete them from a file explorer from storage/extSdCard or just pop your SD card into a micro SD adapter if you have one and delete files from your computer

You can use CWM or TWRP. What he's saying is you cannot recover a TWRP backup through CWM or vice versa.
So if you plan to use CWM, make a backup with CWM so you can recover in case something goes wrong. Your TWRP backup will not work with CWM.
Wicked is a great rom, it's what I use everyday.

Your main problem is that you are using the wrong ROM with your phone. You should be using the d2att roms and not the metro pcs one. As far as your memory issues I don't know but I would start by flashing the correct ROM to your phone and see if that doesn't help...
OK thanks for the tips

Im not sure but its not that i tried to backup a stock version of the latest legit ROM from samsung and it failed and phone restarted and now it show like 500 mb's left on my phone. I check all files on the phone and nothing is taking up space all the files on my phone together is like 2gb. not sure whats wrong. I installed a different rom to check if thats a issue with the stock Samsung ROM but nope it still same.
EDIT: I just tried to format the DATA partition which it shows takes up 12GB but didnt do anything.
Well if you're running an older version of CWM, you will have issues with any 4.3 roms, stock or not. I would firstly upgrade to the latest version of CWM, and then if you can, use a root Explorer either on your phone or laptop to see hidden files.
I personally had an issue due to having an older version of CWM, and I had a few gb of data hidden behind a bunch of nested 0 folders.
If you still don't see anything, then maybe a format of the internal SD thru CWM is in order. Hopefully you have/are able to back up all that info before you need to do that tho.
