The Galaxy S3 bootloader is already unlocked, all you have to do is root. It's super easy.
That's great thanks for the quick reply one more question can you recommended any roms

Wish I already had my S3 so I could help......
Best to try em out yourself and see which one you like. Read the features, changelogs, THREAD FEED to see how other users are liking it and their experience with the ROM!
Congrats on your S3 and welcome to the community!

Just make sure you don't try anything until your sure its been tested. 2 users on the Aussie thread lost their imei numbers while trying to root there's. One has already booked with Samsung service.

No you can not possibly do that! Your device is completely different from the galaxy s3 for various reasons, by flashing a rom of other smartphone the only result will brick your device

When used in reference to consumer electronics, a "brick" describes an electronic device such as a smart phone, game console, router, or tablet computer that owing to a serious misconfiguration, corrupted firmware or a hardware problem, can no longer function. The term derives from the vaguely cuboid shape of many electronic devices (and their detachable power supplies) and the suggestion that the device can only function as a large, heavy object.

Sure hold on here whilst I flash the latest .ipsw file from Apple. I doubt that will brick my phone, after all, they are both smartphones!
But Is there any rom which is the same as the S3 firmware and needs no rooting

I dont think you are intelligent enough to do much with a phone.
But at least your next topic cant be as stupid as your first.
The one sought in the forum, there are custom rom leaving his appearance with the S3 S2.
Now this is really determined to install the rom S3 in S2, would you donate to your phone than using it with a paperweight in the future.

Good. That's actually very easy because there many custom ROMs with Galaxy S3 looks, launcher and everything.
Check under Galaxy SII Android Development Section.
Plz can u tell me any name for that

Hello all, I have finally decided to root my S3. I just have one question though, what app would be good to backup all my settings, pics, apps and everything else? Also what is a good Rom to use that's fast and based on jellybean?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
You can use titanium backup. As for the ROM it depends, some prefer stock with custom kernel others prefer asop ROMs. You should browse the forums and decide for yourself. Also next time search and only make a new thread if you can't really find an answer, the moderators may get mad at you.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
What's the difference between asop and stock with different kernel? I read some older topics and just go too confused.

read the OP. it explains the different naming schemes of various different ROMs. it also lists all the roms that fall into different categories of aosp, aokp, stock, and others.

actually jjegan is right. due to hardware differences, you need to check out the appropriate forum for your phone. you will turn your phone into an expensive paperweight if you flashed any roms or kernels in this forum.

I'm guessing it's because you're on the LL4 OTA which patched the exploit. Follow the guide in development.

Hi guys .. as i read in samsung that SII (PLUS) will have original 4.2.2
but sII will not
that gives a question that is both have same hardware as i know .. so maybe we can have a Port of it
Or we can't ?
S2 plus has different hardware so No'it's not possible.
It's the third thread i have seen about porting 4.2.2 from s2 plus.:banghead:
