Another question, If I dont have a sdCard wouldnt a system wipe delete my file i need to flash?
Click to expand...

no the system wipe isnt the internal memory format ya confusing those lol so dont worry not going to delete any personal data. i still have things in my internal from the first day i got my gs3 so dont worry about erasing anything else.
 
ive downloaded it twice now first place it in my external then try internal sd..as soon as i swip to install it says failed ???
 
The .zip keeps failing to flash... I've done a Factory and System wipe (through TWRP) and it wont flash.

Any help?
