First of all, this is not related to any unsuccessfull flash process, I got my S3 in 2012 and it worked like a charm after many flash processes. The last ROM is - was :'( - Blekota Note 4 Lite 5.2
The problem came when this morning, I plugged my phone to charge, it was 3% battery, I left it for 1 hour and when I came back, the back of the phone was very hot and the phone screen hanging on the first image of boot animation. I unplugged it and removed battery, once turned on, it did not leave the samsung logo. I suppose the chip simply fried...
I was looking for a solution and found something that may be for help, but the solution i found was for SGS-I9000, the process did not work for my S3 (this one with two others related to sgs1), I formatted the sd card with 16GB Ext 4 and 16GB Fat32.
As I am not familiar with scripts and linux commands, my question is simple:
Is there a way to install a ROM in external SD card ? my phone starts in download mode and I am able to flash TWRP (or any other recovery) via odin, this one shows me Internal SD card capacity as 0 when I try to install anything. See attachments below, the red messages appear also when trying to flash stock firmware , after the first reboot (I9300XXEMD3_I9300OJVEMC1_I9300XXEMA5)

If you cant mount anything, its either your internal storage is burnt too or corrupted from being affected by the burn. Your s3 might be basically destroyed

That's the point of trying to install system in external SD
Unfortunately that is impossible. Sorry

Hi guys,
After updating to 2003SE using easy bootloader/himaupdate.exe method my SD locks the unit after insertion or from boot. Was ok before (transcend 256Mb card) worked for last year+ till tonight.
Before I tried that method I bootloader/console dumped old rom image to the card, but ive formatted it now a few times with FAT and FAT32, no luck, still locks unit now.
Any ideas anyone?? Thanks.
Also, accessing start menu now causes a hardware style interlace looking flicker down the bottom 1/4-1/2 of the screen. Anyone???
Congrats and thanks to everyone involved with the 2003SE update, ... now if only this SD card works...
Cheers
WARNING !!!! I have tried a new 1Gb ATP SD Card and a new Kingston 512Mb SD Card and both brand new cards also lock the unit.
It would appear the 2003SE flash is incompatible with some revision hardwares and causes the SD slot to cease working correctly.
Also, the update causes the blacklight to sometimes flicker very fast, likely damaging the life of the backlight.
Be warned...
No problem
No problem .

Hi,
Thankyou for the advice, however when inserting the sd card it locks the unit down hard, even with pocket mechanic ready to format, or running from boot quickly before it locks (once detects sd).
Seems the flash really killed the SD slot on my h/ware since no other reports it must be revision related at this point, bootloader can still read/detect updates on SD so its an update issue I think
The biggest problem
:arrow: The biggest problem I had with 2003SE is :
Poping up mesaage with "Need more memory" for Contacts .
I had to do the Hard Reset for a couple times .
Now I am OK .

^^That's what's at the root of my gtab's /sdcard.
Also, there used to be two folders in that that I had created and are no longer there.
Here's what I was doing immediately before I noticed this:
I'm currently using TnT Lite. I need to be able to access wifi at work but my company uses EAP encryption and TnT doesn't have a setting for EAP. I decided that rather than switching roms, I would just switch settings menus (using the files found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857939).
Stupid me, I downloaded them to /sdcard2 rather than /sdcard. I booted into clockworkmod and tried to install the zip from the sdcard but clockworkmod couldn't find anything. I realized my mistake and rebooted the gtab and hooked up the usb to my pc. That's when I noticed the file corruption.
Everything still seems to work as it did before, I just don't have access to any of the files that were in those folders.
In case it matters, one folder held the TnT Lite rom and the other held several videos.
Does anyone have any idea what could have caused this?
Should I try to delete the corrupted files?
Any help with this is much appreciated.
I don't claim to know why this happens this is just what I did to fix my problem.
I noticed this on my gtab also, to the point my cal program wouldn't open. The only way I could fix it was to do an sd partition to it fix the issue. There are instructions on how to do that with cm8. This is from memory so please double check, go to the advanced options choose sd partition 2048/0. Please note that this wipes the sd card so back up prior.
I still get a few of those weird files buy not like before.
same thing happened to me but hasn't come back after
re-partitioning with cwm ... maybe that is the fix
I would *really* like to know why this happens (that and why
the sdcard2 gets wiped out sometimes).
Basically, you dare not trust android with any important data
and you never know if what's on it will disappear suddenly
Unfortunately, this makes the tablet just a toy
So is the best option really just to re-partition the sd card?
If I end up re-partitioning, will I have to flash the ROM over again? Or does partitioning just remove the user data?
Quote: will I have to flash the ROM over again?
No
I've read a few random Galaxy related topics on the SD card not mounting, but Im worried about using methods from other devices on this device.
In Rom manager premium, Flash ClockworkMod recovery was used, selected Vibrant, it said no official recovery, and asked if I had installed version 2 or 3 of CWM. I selected 2 and it said its using CWM with Rom Manager.
Well now anytime I reboot into recovery, or try to flash a rom from Rom Manager Premium it cannot mount the SD card.
I go into mounts and storage and try and mount the SD, nothing.
Is this something as simple as re-partitioning the SD? Or has something corrupted in my recovery?
BTW, XDA, you guys ROCK!! I dont post usually, cause I dont need to! Except this time
The guides and walk through here are so easy I usually never have troubles. Rooted and rom MANY different android models for work here All thanks to XDA!
***** CHECK OUT THE COOL PACKAGE I JUST RECEIVED!

Hi xda experts all.
I have a Sammy Galaxy S3 international i9300. I have a class 10 32 GB ext SD card.
Issue happening with all ROMs I run currently.
I run cm11 and AOSP based ROMs (Omni nightlies, temasek v26 (currently)) and tried various kernels that are known to be compatible (yank, boeffla, devil, temasek).
I have two issues. I have no idea if they are related (I actually doubt it though), but it's worth mentioning both here.
First issue is that no recovery can see zips on internal storage. Anytime I want to flash anything I have to select it from external SD card, so before rebooting into recovery I have to move the file there from the default download folder.
I have flashed latest CWM, TWRP and Devil recoveries. They all have this issue.
The second issue is that my system heats like crazy and can sometimes chew my battery up in 3 hours, even when phone is in my pocket. It's not unusual to see CPU temperatures of 60-70 deg Celsius. I also note that all cores will stay maxed out continuously. This is regardless of governor (excl powersave), even if I kill all dormant apps in memory.
What I've tried (with both ROMs and all named kernel combinations).
I have done full wipe and reinstalls ad nauseum.
I use TB Pro to restore apps. The only system items I restore are launcher and Google search (to restore home screen app and folder layout).
Edit: It is so bad that it will discharge faster than it can charge via USB and phone actually died from lack of power whilst plugged I'm to my laptop's USB connection while I was composing this.
Any suggestions?

Sent from my awesome Carbonized i9300
Hi, i am new to this. I have galaxy s3 i9300.
My gf was using this phone on stock rom 4.3 or 4.4.4 and it was really awful. I am iphone user, but i do know a little about phones and all that so i tried to install some custom roms.
First i tried lineageOS 7.1.1, it was laggy, camera constantly crashing etc.
So i tried to install android M cm 13.0 unofficial teamseek v12.3. Less laggy but after installing telegram app, os crashed. Some trebuchet proccess was constantly rebooting phone. Messenger app could not use camera, black screen. And once phone could not see storage. Wiping cahce could not solve the problem. Meny restarts, nothing. I pulled out sim card and it boot, but after some time trebuchet crashed again and boot loop continued.
So i tried 4.4.4 kitkat cm-11-20160115-SNAPSHOT-XNH0E0O00N and same problem, messenger cant see camera app.
Then i tried 5.1 blisspop and it was good, messenger can see camera, little lag. And then it suddenly shutsdown on the charger. Tried restart - boot loop. TWRP cant wipe anything or mount anything, storage 0. Phone cant see memory card either, but i know its working because i put it in the other S3 which is in boot loop too .
What to do now, other s3 cant be recognized by the PC but can see memory card, and this s3 can be recognized by the PC but its shows empty.
Then i tried to install official 4.3 for s3 via Odin. Installed successfuly but same problem, cant mount any partition. Newest TWRP installed.
I am stucked here now:
