Root [International] Galaxy S3 Android Firmware Update?

Internal sd just means your phone's internal memory.

I am getting an error...

E:Can't mount /external_sd/
-- Installing: /sdcard/XXEMA1_NeatROM_Full.zip

Sorry for the delay, I was stuck somewhere with no reception. Just restore your nandroid and it'll get your phone running again. As for why neat won't flash I'm not too sure. It might be worth asking in the neatrom thread as salesale might be able to shed some light on it.

Have you had any luck?
I've done a bit of reading on flashing firmware to the Chinese i9300 and I think the problem is in the bootloader. When flashing with Odin using the pc it will try to change the bootloader to the one which comes with the new firmware which it won't let you do. There appears to be a way round this by flashing the firmware with the mobile Odin app as this doesn't attempt to change the bootloader.

Did you move the neat rom file from "downloads" to the root of the memory?
(Stab in the dark lol, im just a dummy.. duno if it matters.
@SG, before flashing a rom, am i meant to wipe anything in "mounts and whatever" in CWM?
I wiped everything except that when i flashed Neat....

I managed to get it working, just re-downloaded the file and uploaded it again and worked first time.

Once again thanks to all who helped me out will def recommend this site to anyone.

The only thing I touch in mounts and storage is format system. It's not necessary as you'll probably be fine without doing it. I just format it for a cleaner install.

Is it my imagination or does the finished rom just feel better?
