Hi,
Just need some clarification please
I will probably would want to install a custom rom like I did for my S Advance.
1) Should I choose one from the "Galaxy S III Android Development"? (I assume this forum includes devices bought in the UK?)
2) And the type of ROM I'm looking for is one that doesn't really change anything much from stock...but makes my phone run quicker and cleaner (by removing unnecessary applications). It looks like there is one called Android Revolution HD 40.0. Would anyone recommend this?
Thanks.

JJE's post is probably the best answer your going to get in a long time on here have a read through them before you get the phone make sure you know what your doing before you do it and his last bit of info is brilliant. after you have rooted grab nitrality and back up your efs lots of people having it mess up of late.
Hello, I just bought samsung galaxy s2 and I was wondering about few things, so I hope people with more information about s2 and all this stuff can help me.
1) My android version is 2.3.4 but shouldn't it be a 2.3.3 or smth ?
2) It is a 16gb device, but on total space area it shows 11.50gb where is another 4.5 gb ? It is divided or what a hell?
3)GPS(navigation) seems broken or can't catch a signal(yes clear sky and stuff like that was done)
4)samsung kies says my 2.3.4 is the latest version is that true ? if not which version if the latest on this device in this time ?
5)my s2 is from t-mobile poland but in my country there is no t-mobile but it works with any sim card, does this make a difference ?
thx for any help ;]

You start by reading one thing you read is the rules question goes in Q&A.
1) My android version is 2.3.4 but shouldn't it be a 2.3.3 or smth ?
Dont know about smth
2,3,4 is a valid rom why go backwards
2) It is a 16gb device, but on total space area it shows 11.50gb where is another 4.5 gb ? It is divided or what a hell?
Use Google or search XDA question asked millions of times .
3)GPS(navigation) seems broken or can't catch a signal(yes clear sky and stuff like that was done)
Read the GPS faqs.
4)samsung kies says my 2.3.4 is the latest version is that true ? if not which version if the latest on this device in this time ?
Kies is not telling lies .That is the latest firmware the phone provider has uploaded . Their are later stock firmwares but you need to read learn and understand first .
5)my s2 is from t-mobile poland but in my country there is no t-mobile but it works with any sim card, does this make a difference ?
To what ??
You need to start reading all the FAQS and gudes and stickies .
Ignorance is no excuse for bricking your phone .

Most of the answers to your questions are in the links he provided. So more informative than you think.
Well I serched but if you know those answers or some of them you might as well share

Seriously? No one wants to re-type answers that can be found by you clicking on a link.
Yes there are more current versions, but you must understand, to use the device more than just a conversation with your girlfriend or smth.., there are no shortcuts you need to read and believe me, it's addictive when you'll know what you wanna do.
good luck..
Hello all,
It's been quite a while I have been searching around for the correct procedure on how to root my S3 LTE Hong Kong version [I9305ZHALI2], but either the information is confusing or the procedures exist for Windows or for the US versions of the phone only.
Can anybody please point me to the right direction and let me know where to find the right procedures to follow to root the phone and install CWM and Pandoriam ROM?
This is my first decent Android phone and I have never rooted anything before, so I would like to make sure I don't scr*w up
Thank you in advance!
This is for I9300. There is a sub forum for I9305s. Search on google for root i9305 and you'll get a post explaining how to do it.

I actually tried, but as a beginner I find it confusing, so I was hoping to find a more detailed guide on the forum.
However, thanks for the reply, from which I can assume that rooting I9305 is kind of "universal" and does not depend on the country?

ask in the correct forum
Root is posted in original development .
Guides and Faqs are stickied in General .
MAC i would search out the few MAC posts probably asking the same question .

Hi guys,
i know most of you are thinking now why i dont search or google or something else but really i cant do anything about this.
I am new to flashing and rooting and i rooted my s3 ella i9300 version with the samsung toolkit v 7.0 via odin.
Now i would like to instlall this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106471&nocache=1
But srsly, there is no good tutorial for newbies. i cant understand why the developers never try to help us noobs in such situations like this.
So please can anyone help me out? I went into the download section of the ROM but there are so many files i dont know which to take and download...
Thanks in advance
Full instructions are on the website, linked in the OP of the slim thread which you no doubt read

Yes but you would be better not flashing that rom . But spending time reading the basics first as you are lacking in even the first steps .
Noobs are expected to read first flash last this is a developers forum for developers . Those that don't bother to learn the basics are not going to be spoonfed .
So seriously you read the posted stickied faqs and guides or suffer a bricked phone your choice .

Hi all, ok its been a very long time since i rooted my sg3 , ok i have an s3 locked to vodafone and is running rom 4.1.2 baseband I9300XXEMG4, So is this normal verizon/sprint phone and yes im in the UK.
What i need to no is can somebody post a link to me and the latest easier way to root my S3 Please, sorry to have forgotton the whole thing but its been ages since i last rooted,
Also are there any latest sound boosting hacks that are available now ?
And finally sorry for posting in wrong section to the admin if i have.
Hope to get some help very soon.
Thankyou from Brian.
Makes no sense, this forum is for the i9300 international -if you have a sprint then you'll brick it with files from this forum.
Suggest you go read the sticky thread in general, rather than posting questions already asked a thousand times.
Start by finding out what phone you have .
Details are under the battery .
If it is an I9300 then all the information is posted .
Basics read first.

Oh i am of the same opinion your question made no sense as sprint verizon is USA and therefore would be in the wrong forum .Likely you would brick the phone if asking for
information here would be extremely high if that was the case and you suggest you have Vodaphone UK phone but ask about some other model .

I didn't intend any sarcasm, I don't want you to brick your phone but I'm not going to type information you can find for yourself in just a few moments.
