Custom ROM - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys, i found the Android Revolution HD rom pretty awesome,it fits my style(stock, fast etc) but i don`t know how to flash it, i have Galaxy s3 i9300 International version Unbranded never locked on any carrier, firmware 4.1.2 i9300XXEMC2 stock kernel, my phone isn`t even rooted...i had a galaxy s1 and s2 before but im not so experienced with rooting the galaxy s3, in that ROM section how to install it tells me i need Custom Recovery, and now my questions are :
1. how i flash galaxy s3 i9300 ? i found chainfire method but i read that it doesn`t support custom recovery ... so what`s the method?
2. wich version i must flash ? what are the differences ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797334 the 25.0 or 35.5 version?
HEEEELP ! PLEASE

If you read both chainfires thread and the revolution thread properly then all is completely clear.....don't skim it....read them both PROPERLY ....if you can't be bothered to do this then the chances are you will brick your phone
I just read the revolution thread and found the answer within 1 minute
I know Chainfire thread is 100% clear
This site is not for this

if i want to install philz touch recovery i must be rooted first or i can install it straight ahead?

You can use Odin to flash it directly.

you can flash via odin i think. otherwise, use cf method then flash philz in recovery
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

My routine is this (I use cf root)(old recovery included)
Flash cf root
Update to Phil's with either Odin or mobile Odin or through recovery
Job done

Easiest way to root is to flash a rooted kernel, such as CF-Root kernel.
Here is the thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399&highlight=CF+Root
In Post #8 you will find CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_LPG-v5.5-CWM5.zip which will work fine for your ROM.
Just download this kernel and flash it with Odin to your phone - as described in the first post.
If you want to remove the yellow triangle and reset the flash counter after flashing the CF-Root kernel, just use TriangleAway app from Chainfire (there is a link to it in the first post).
Good luck !

is it poosible to go to previous kernal after rooting?
also if you are planning to use other carrier make sure you have an unlock phone. If not, go to PLay Store and download Galaxy S2 unlock app.
You mean stock kernel? Yes, but only by flashing stock Samsung firmware.

Download a stock kernel, flash it in Odin. Not rocket surgery. You got your hand held on the first page & a half of this thread, time for you to do some reading/learning on your own; Stickies.

you can also flash cwm recovery(only) from odin separately and then superuser.zip from that recovery.

recoveries dont have compatability with ROMS. They are two completely separate Operating systems on the phone and they do not interact with each other at all. No recovery is "Compatible" with any ROM

I wasn't answering that question. You asked another question which pointed to a lack of knowledge on your part. Lack of knowledge is dangerous so I helped you out. Rather than responding with multiple ??? (Which is rude btw) you could have simply pressed "thanks".
Root is part of a ROM. Recovery flashes ROM. Root has nothing to do with the ability to flash ROMs.
OP has posted today in yet another thread .

[Q] Root and custom recovery

So I just bought a I9300, coming from a I9100 and I want to root it and have a custom recovery for rom flashing and backup and whatever but i don't know how/which way to go... i mean does it matter which version i flash (i know from s2 that the kernel needed to be the same as the stock one)
i'm on
Baseband:BUEMF2
Build number: XXEMF6
And yes i have looked around but there are some things I don't know...
any help is appreciated

The S3 has a separate recovery partition unlike the S2 so Kernel, ROM and recovery are completely unrelated.
soooo if i flash... bugger

You can flash what you want. There are several ROMs, recoveries and kernels.
Have a read of my "understanding the basics before rooting" thread as there is a lot of info in there that you need to read. It can be located if you follow the link in my signature to General > Sticky roll-up
well i have some knowledge but let's say i'll flash CF-Root by Chainfire this one includes root and cwm recovery (from here on i'll take care of my rom flashing) but is it compatible with my version? by doing this do I risk /efs folder corruption?

yes its compatible with your phone. nothing can go wrong if you follow the OP.
Or you can try this method also.
i personally prefer the former.
CF auto root is the most painless way to root, it changes almost nothing in the process. Then backup your efs folder before you do ANYTHING else.

Outdated method, unsafe recovery. You say you have some knowledge but I beg you to read my thread.

By the way rooting with CF-Autoroot doesn't include a custom recovery anymore that's why you needed to flash a custom recovery separately.

Go into Settings->About Phone and make a screenshot or type exactly what is written there.Include everything.
Why people try to install temporary CWM (the majority don't even realise it's going to be temporary) & don't simply flash a custom kernel which takes 5 minutes & works every time is beyond me.
