Preping my phone for rom - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

heya, so i was checking around, and it seems I have to root my phone, then use EZunlock to unlock it, then just install CWM and install the roms correct? EZ is just a app on the app store right? is there any 1 click things for rooting my s3 phone, or a really easy way? Gonna download a few roms now, I did see a few good JB ones, but did not see bamf, so will try out a few others. Let me know if you recommend a certain rom
Thanks

also guys, i noticed there is a verizon s3 section, and just the regular I9300 section, can i download roms from which place for my vzw s3? does it matter? I see the verizon android developement then just the regular development, so wasnt sure.

i recomennd using CF-ROOT and odin,
yes, be sure to check which version u have
GT9300 is the one for this forums
recomended roms = android revolution HD, checkrom, villianrom for first time flashers.

Umm I see there is like a section for each carrier. Then a section for Samsung galaxy III. Can I use those ROMs or ONLY the ones under Verizon section? Can u link the URL to the place(s) I can get ROMs here? Sorry lol just don't want go brick

You are in the wrong forum. This is for the International version of S III.
Flashing anything from this section might brick your phone.

Do you have more than one Android device? You can only use roms made for the I717 version of the Galaxy Note on the Galaxy note I717 unless its a ported rom. The same goes for other devices, only flash roms made for that specific device or you can ruin it. Go here to find roms for the Galaxy Note I717 http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1496. You will also find useful information and kernels, radios etc in the link. Also when you are on this site looking at the forums and you want to look at roms for a certain device there will be subforums for each device that will look like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1493 all you do is click on the entry that says Android Development at the end and thats where you will find custom roms and other development.
Gents, I have put something together as a ref and one stop shopping...see my signature for the GNote Super Everything Page...hope it helps you...

I'm not sure, never heard of your model. but don't try flashing anything on your phone unless you're 100% sure it's compatible with your model. I hard bricked my i747m by flashing a i9300 rom on it now I have a i9300
this is a new version of galaxy s3 with 2GB ram, LTE,
and it is released in some area, e.g. Hong Kong.
i want to buy one and flash some great roms from here

Ok fair enough did not remember that was against the rules.
I did check a few out but is there a step by step guid on how to flash a rom lol?
Also i think i have the cwm root with odin or something so any rom will work with that? Its a telus note 1...
Take the time and read the rooting and flashing threads..
They can be found in the general section, as a sticky called the "super everything thread"...
Knowledge is king, and your complete guides will be linked there ....g
