You rooted your phone? if you have do you have Clockwork Mod installed?
Have you read the CM FAQ. AS they give you instructions as to how to install. You don't use Odin to do it.

Using clockworkmod recovery??
Stock recovery only allows .zip's signed by Samsung.

As above....are you rooted? If not then use c.f. root, find it in original android development

No sir, im not. I'm trying to root it using mike1986 thread. Thanks for the tip. I'm now trying using chainfire's method.
Update:
Trying to use CF Root, but my S3 is not being recognized. It doesn't show "ADDED" at odin3.
Installing Samsung Kies
Update :
Installed samsung kies, updated all firmwares and device drivers.
Opened up Odin, added in the .tar file and connected my device "ADDED"
Completed the process. Had SuperSU and CWM in my device!
Woohoo! After rooting with CF Root, i was able to install custom rom!
Thank you guys!

You don't flash zip files using Odin, Odin usually flashes .tar or similar files. Second, are you rooted? To flash a custom Rom you need to be rooted. Check out this guide for information on rooting the Galaxy S3, also check out this guide, and this guide, that should hopefully answer any other questions you may have. Hope this helps

:good: Let me know if you need any guidance or have any other questions along the way.
The Rom will be installed through CWM or TWRP Recovery and not ODIN... Just look into the zip archive and if there is a .tar file install via Odin and if there are .img files install via recovery! For ODIN you don't need to be rooted

leaked official 4.1.2 ????
just go sammobile website search and download for your country if you want
else flash any country version also okay
Just use kies, it's safer and easier...
About how much percent ODIN can fail in flashing rom to s3? Still didnt receive updates on KIES so i want to flash it via ODIN. Also how many time ddoes it take for ODIN to complete flashing??
Get the galaxy s3 toolkit. It includes odin and a copy of the stock recovery you can flash.
Flashing the recover with odin takes under a minute. Flashing a complete rom with odin takes about 5 minutes maximum.

0% fail if you follow the instruction
just need samsung kies (you need the usb driver, not kies because install samsung kies will automatically install the driver also)
and odin and the ROM (in .tar or .tarmd5, depends, confirm is end with .tar and put in pda
and take less than 10 minutes
flashed my s3 via mobile ODIN pro and it worked like a charm.....
Finally flashed my phone, but with mobile ODIN pro. My question is how to get the 4.2 camera on jelly bean 4.1.2 XXELKC. ? Thanx for all your help guys. ..
Flash a custom rom with the mod .
See Android Development Omega rom for one .
Or find the files and push them yourself to the custom rom .
Have a look in Themes and apps and see if its also posted as a standalone mod .

It depends upon the instructions for that rom you need to read them .
But CWM recovery flash is the norm for most custom roms .

Stock Recovery
If you just want the Stock Recovery for example for OTA, just flash the stockrecovery.tar via ODIN. Even I don't like using ODIN too much, but it's a million times better than Kies and easy to use. I personally recommend using ODIN on the PC if possible and avoid Mobile Odin. Mobile Odin is only if you don't have a PC or really need to do something on the go. It's a great app but don't use it all the time. And I'm not sure about this but I think by just flashing the Recovery you won't loose root nor Data, so you save a lot of time!
Only crappy thing with Odin is that it needs TAR and I don't know how to make those excpet with Toolbox. Does anybody know an easy way to make a flashable tar on windows without toolbox or cygwin (linux).

mega bass beat option
I've read about the "flashing mega bass beat option to s3" and it says
-- install zip from sdcard
-- chose zip from sdcard
-- wait for installation to complete
-- wipe cache partition
-- wipe dalvik cache
-- wipe fix permissions
The question is: what will happen if I didn't wipe the dalvik cache?
Do I really need to wipe it?
