Iam Note3 user, thinking of upgrading to note 5
1- iam rom flashing user (i make roms, themes and modes), usually to get clean flash i usually format system and internal memory before flashing the new rom and i put the rom file in external memory card, how i can do that on note5 with no external sd card?
2- when i face a boot loop or no reboot (bad flash or whatever else) the fix is to remove the battery then reflash or wipe or reboot, etc etc, how i can do that on note5 with no removable battery?

Hello all,
I am hoping to sell my Hero soon, and want to revert back to the stock Sprint ROM.
I am not sure how exactly to wipe all of my data from the device. Do I install ClockworkMod Recovery plus the ROM, install from the zip file and then format everything?
Will formatting my SD Card (where the ROM installation file will be stored) mess anything up? Or is it okay?
Any help would be appreciated,
Cazs
Just run the Sprint RUU to format everything from your phone. To wipe the SD card contents, just format the SD card.
prolly get more money for it rooted than u would stock
Hi guys. i have a Note thats behaving strange in recovery .
first when i get the phone i root whit cf-root and flashed latest Check rom.
in CWM i got this really strange thing i´v not aeen in my other devices SGS & SGS2. when beging to flash it comes up like this
20s sd-card mounting
19s sd-card mounting
18s sd-card mounting
counting down to 0 then it says cant mount sd-card let go anyway and it installs whatever.
yesterday when i was installing a theme
and was going to make a factory reset whipe data and it was unable to do so because it couldent find the sd-card and whent to boot loop .
whent in to recovery again flashed check-rom and the phone started.
but what the hell is the problem whit my internal sd-card and is there any solution to fix this by my self? or must i unroot and flash back stock rom of the phone via odin and send to repir?
sorry if this question came in wrong section or is asked alot.
best regards
do you have an external sd card in the phone?
what kernel are you using?
ive seen some kernels swap the internal and sd mounts around so the internal becomes external and external internal
using the cf-root kernel that comes whit the check-rom. got no external sd-card.
Hey Guys.
I'm in a bit of ****.
I did my first rom flash yesterday, and all worked well. However the system would reboot once every 12 or so hours.
I noticed when I did CWM Recovery 5.5, that the total data wipe failed, but I researched that it was an issue, and had been fixed in CWM 6.0
The rom description said that if a total data wasn't done, you would have problems.
So I flashed 6.0, and did the CWM Recovery again with all the wiping options, but when I went to 'install zip from sd card', the file wasn't there. I assumed that the contents of the card wouldn't move, or be deleted, but it obviously was.
Now when I followed the original guide on XDA, I did the backup as stated, but it must not have worked, as in restore it's telling me there's no backup file found.
So at the moment, all i'm getting is the Samsung Galaxy S3 loading screen, but it's not going beyond that.
All I can access is CWM, and the Downloading screen.
What can I do to get my phone accessible again?
Thanks
plug your phone to PC (with downloaded ROM)
go to cwm -> mounts and storage -> mount usb storage. Now you should see Phone SD card on your PC. Put ROM in main folder uplug and flash.
if it doesn't help you should flash via odin (at download mode) 3 file ROM (f.e. JW1) with pit512 and re-partition checked, then flash kernel with cwm and start fun with cwm flashing.
Keep your ROMs and gapps and kernels etc on microSD next time
I do that so when I flash a new ROM I just wipe and format everything. I know its not necessary to format SD, I just do it anyway to clean up folders from old apps etc.

Whenever I am running a ROM that is not stock or a stock based ROM like HoloBlur, I end up running into this problem when I want to flash a different ROM. For example, after backing up, I wanted to wipe from LiquidSmooth 2.9 and try out Slim or PACman. I factory reset, wipe data/cache, no problems. Then I wipe System like I do before any ROM flash, and then no files are found on my SD and Sideloading doesn't work like it usually does. (I don't have an external SD card and I never format SD card in recovery.) Can't mount SD, can't flash the ROM, stuck. I've had to go back to stock with RSD Lite twice because I couldn't flash my new ROM after full wipe... The only solution I can think of is skip wiping system, but I feel like that isn't a clean enough flash and could cause problems. I know CWM likes to locate the SD card in the " 0/ " directory on AOSP/AOKP/CM based ROMs and such, does that have anything to do with it?
Hi, i recentry rooted my samsung s3 mini for installing the new kitkat rom.
So, i followed the steps, saved the new ROM on my external sd card and formated the system.
The problem is this: when i was browsing the zip file with the ROM on the costume recovery menu (I have ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.2.7), a message appears saying "no files found".
So now I can´t reebot my phone beacause it has no OS and I don't know how to fix this. Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Never, ever format the system.
If you're on stock just do that:
1-Reboot in recovery
2-Choose Wipe data/factory reset
3-Flash cm rom
4-Flash gapps
5-Reboot
Done, that's it.
If you want to update cm roms (or any rom):
1-Reboot in recovery
2-Flash cm update
3-Choose Wipe cache & dalvik cache
4-Reboot
Done.
You don't need to mess up with anything more.
P.S. better use twrp 2.7 from novafusion, for better compatibility.

Thanks but it still doesn't work. I want to flash the rom but the rom file its in the external sd card and it says that there are no files found. And when i hook up the phone to my pc the phone is detected, however I can´t acess the sd card.
Maybe if there's a way for me to acess the ext. sd card and change the rom file for the internal memory it would work. Do you know how can i do this?

Euhm, it might be a weird idea, but you take your external SD-card, put it in your card reader, connect the card reader to your pc, and copy the zip to (let's say) the root of the SD-card
CWM should be fine, but I'm used to TWRP. You can find it on the novafusion website. (search novafusion TWRP)
If you can't boot into CWM or TWRP, or files still don't show up on the browsermodule in the recovery rom, you still have the possibility to flash your ROM using odin. Check the installation guide on novafusion, it gives you a link to all the files you need and a detailed description how to install your rom.
