[Q] HELP!!! Unable to escape bootloop [AICP] - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

My S3 started bootlooping after installing a nandroid backup of Lollipop (AICP) from the internal memory, the USB port does not work and now the SD card reader has stopped working, so I can't install a new ROM and the only thing on the internal memory now is the backups that are giving me the bootloop. How can I solve this???

SD card not Mounting Cyanogenmod

Ever since flashing cyanogenmod 6 I have been having several probelms
1. My SD card is not mounted and not recognized by anything. This is stopping me from accessing rom manager or making any changes.
I have tried several things including reformating my sd card and removing files just in case it was to full. I have not been able to figure out how to partition it to part fat32, part ext yet. I am running out of ideas and getting very frustrated with my phone. I have three sd cards to work with and none of them are recognized.
2. This would not be a problem if I could just go to stock. Unfortunately I can not get my pc to get me into recovery so I can preforma NAND backup or flash a different rom that is closer to stock. I think this may have something to do with my sd card not being recognized. I have also tried the workaround involving no pc but still am getting nothing,
3. I am also having issues with usb connectivity.
I think if i can either get my sd card mounted or my phone to enter recovery mode so I can flash another rom, add the google add on, or do a NANdroid backup it would take care of my problems. If any one has a great idea as to how to get my sd card to be recognized I feel that would solve most of my problems.
Thanks Brad
Hey I have the same problem!

[Q] "Unable to move" Apps to SD error message

Edit: My sd card is working again! I would advise anyone not to use the App Mybackup or Mybackup Pro because this is what caused my problems!
I recently rooted my Evo with
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448
Anyway i backed up my apps and i started to attempt to restore them. While doing this all of a sudden my evo started saying that it had critical memory left and i had to power it down. So i restarted my Evo and noticed that all the apps installed on my phone but not SD card. So i proceded to remove them all because whenever i tried to move the apps to the SD with Apps2Sd or the phone application function itself i kept on getting "Unable to move application" or something along those lines.
Anyway im wonder is there anyway that i can fix this problem to enable me to store apps on my sd? I can connect the sd card to the computer and manage the files.
Also i have tried to format the sd card but i still have the same problem.
I am about to try a nandroid restore and see if that will help anything.
I also cannot install apps of the market because they fail when the try to install to my Sd. So any installation to my phone i need to unmount the sd card.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Flashing roms via TWRP

I know this should be directed to the twrp forums but I wanted to get feedback from owners of the sprint lg g3 preferably using the CM12.1 android version 5.1.
I have always had this issue where I am unable to flash roms on my external sd card via twrp. Everytime I try (just tried again tonight), after over and hour of restoring, it was only at 10%. When I flash the same rom on the internal sd (memory) it only takes about 10 minutes to accomplish the entire restore, its the same way for backups too. I don't understand why I am unable to do backups and restores from my external sd. It is very inconvienant to keep moving the backups from external to internal and vice versa. Plus, I can never put more than 1 backup on my internal because they take up so much space (roughly 8gb). It doesn't matter what backup rom I flash it does the same thing. Has anyone else been able to flash roms from their external sd card and if so, what did you have to do to get it to work? I have sent my concerns to the twrp team with no replies back. I am just curious if others are having the same problem or if their has been a fix for this.
I am currently on version 2.8.5 of twrp.
Does anyone have any suggestions or feedback on this issue? Thanks
Hey mate,
You could try installing the TWRP version for the G3 from their app, rather than just the generic version for any phone. If that doesn't work, then it sounds like your SD Card could be corrupted. I backup my whole phone to my external SD Card before I flash any updates or anything else, and can install the ROM updates from my SD Card with no problems whatsoever.
All I can really think of is either a new SD Card, or the official TWRP for the G3 from their app.

Thanks for the response. Do you have a G3 also? I have installed the official bumped version of twrp for my sprint phone and am still having issues. Just by curiousity, when you are in twrp, are you able to backup and restore directly to/from the sd card. I do not have any issues with my card other than this, I can transfer and move files, etc. I have noticed though on my 64 gb scandisk card that when it first boots up, it will say not able to retrieve location. I put a different card in the phone and that message stopped which makes me believe it has something to do with the card. That location message just started about a month or two ago.

It turns out that it was something to do with the external SD card. I replaced it with a brand new card and i am able to backup and restore to/from the external card with twrp.

[Q] Help - No OS installed, How do I install a new OS? Phone isn't rooted, Can't root

So in preparation for flashing CM, I was rooting my phone. I made a backup to my SD, and wiped my system, When I attempted to flash CM onto my phone, It didn't work. The backup didn't appear on the SD card (somehow broken now so borrowing another) CM was on my SD Card but didn't install. I couldn't put the file on internal storage because I'd messed up the partitions earlier, I digress.. So now I have TWRP 7.2 running, No OS on the phone, Can't install from SD card, Running windows 8.1.
No clue what to do, any help?
I am a novice also, Previously got by rooting and flashing by using dedicated guides. Now i'm lost even when searching for same problem
