Ok first off i love you guys for providing help with this l710t. I also somehow screwed up my partitions and am afraid of playing with it to figure it out. Can someone walk me through repairing them?:)

Any more details? How did you screw it up? What's it doing and not doing? Can you put it into download mode?

Download mode works fine. Phone works but apps like BitTorrent say No such directory both for my external sd and locations like /storage/emulated/legacy/download

Did you download and run these apps like it says on OP? This is the part I mean:

*In order to fix the write-to-sd issue download the KitKat Fix on playstore as well as the one called Int-SDCard Write Fix (green little android holding sd card). Run those both separately and restart separately and that will fix it.

They saved me from a headache I had trying to figure out why Titanium Backup kept telling me "Insufficient Space. Back-up failed."

Everyone check out the bottom of OP HUGE NEWS

Man, that is awesome news for the T model. I know you guys are stoked! Hopefully a few more ROMs will soon follow. Since the T model has taken the place of the original S3, I have a feeling you guys will be seeing more development sooner than later. From what I understand, non T models being sent in to Samsung for warranty are being replaced and T models are now being sent out.

Thank you very much. The int-sdcard write fix app corrected my torrent problem but in recovery it still says unkown volume for /sd-ext/ can anyone tell me what that means or if it matters?

Also how good are your boost mobile data speeds before and/or after throttling? And has anyone figured out how to bypass boost mobile data throttling? Before I get throttled i can only clock like 100-150kbps on lte and after I get throttled my speeds are only like 10-20kbps still on lte. Can someone help me get normal data speeds?

There is a thread in this section that explains that. I'm not sure which one it is you can search for it.

Did you make a partition on your SD Card? If no, then that's why you are getting that prompt on your phone. It's not really an error...you can just ignore it.
