Hello everyone,
I've read whatever I could find about the subject, but the fear of bricking my device led me to open up a new thread;
I just want to make sure I didn't miss anything (I cant post on the development thread).
So, I have a galaxy S3 I9300XXUGNA8 4.3, and I want to wipe it clean, root it, and install "resurrection remix" rom.
From what i thought I understand, I can do that by
1. factory reset
2. root it by following: cant post urls. google "Root I9300XXUGNA8 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Firmware Running on Galaxy S3 GT-I9300- Simple Tutorial"
3. install the rom using the instructions here (cant post urls): (youtube) watch?v=ROoHyHVIzl8
my questions are:
1. In the installation instructions in the main development thread it says: - Make sure you are either on any KitKat ROM (CM11, etc) or on 4.2.2 TW based ROM and NOT on 4.1.2 TW based ROM.
as stated, my JB is 4.3, and it says nothing about it; am I safe to continue, or am I not suppose to install this rom?
2. the video instructions (number 3 above) is meant for note 2; can i apply them to my device and just choose, "galaxy s3 i9300", or should i follow a different set of rules altogether?
3. should I "factory reset" before I start rooting, or can I do that as part of the rom installation (I want to start clean, and have a back up for everything else)?
Thank you for your kind help, energy and time. it is very much appreciated!!

thanks, i have, but...
thanks, i have,
but my question comes from the fact that I see some people had 4.3 and still installed Resurrection Remix successfully.
given that i9300 4.3 is one of the most popular versions of the galaxy s3 out there, i guessed that it should work, but since i couldn't find any official confirmation for it, I would still like a sure-fire answer (meaning, for all I know, the guys who made it work with 4.3 are far more knowledgeable than I am, and probably took further steps than just follow the instructions for 4.2)..
again, I just need confirmation for 4.3, and that is why i was so specific. I searched for hours to the best of my ability.
thanks again

Basically Resurrection Remix is a 4.4 Kitkat rom when you swap between versions ie 4.1 to 4.3 or 4.3 to 4.4 a full wipe is recommended this means format system, data,cache etc not just a factory reset this is what causes alot of trouble for people when flashing.
I recommend PhilZ recovery it as a option to "install a new rom" in settings and wipes the necessary files needed to install a new rom.

Thank you very much!
the reason I asked is because I heard 4.3 ota update has knox, which means trouble...
You're basically saying that if I'm not having problems rooting the 4.3, I shouldn't worry about installing RR 4.4, right?
again, thanks very much for helping! I really appreciate it!

I9300 does not have knox and will never have knox Just make sure you do a full wipe system data etc and also do backups if needed and you will be fine..Also look at the link in my signature before you flash anything backup your efs or you may have big problems later if you don't! This is very important!!:good:

Hello there!
I'm a complete noob when it comes to rooting and other related stuff so I could use some help. I want to install Cyanogenmod 10 (or 10.1 if it actually is usable and mostly stable / it is easier or more noobproof to install) for the first time and I would like to know what do I need to know before starting to follow any tutorials for flashing new kernels etc. There are just so so many tutorials for this and I don't know which one I should follow to not brick my phone as I just can't afford a new phone if I manage to brick this one and I just want to get everything out of this phone.
All this Clockworkmod, Odin, Rooting and everything just confuses me and I don't know where to start. If I've understood correct the first thing I should do is I should download some custom kernel as this is something which runs "under" the Android (kind of like bios for computers?) and allows me superuser access=rooting? Then after I got new rooted kernel done I should install Odin or ClockworkMod which acts like a "backup" if something goes wrong? And lastly I should flash in the Cyanogenmod 10 or 10.1 depending which is more hassle-free for everyday use (I'd like to get as much customization as possible for my phone) and has more features and more stable.
My phone model is GT-I9100 so it's the international one (I live in Finland so no Verizon or other model of it.. that much I understand at least) and my Android version is 4.0.4 the 100% stock version of it.
I'm tired of waiting for the slow Samsung people in Finland to get the official Jelly Bean release to be done and I want all that project butter goodness NOOOOOOW. So...
TLR: I have Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100).I want to get CM 10 or CM.10.1 the noobproofest way possible, can't afford to brick. Can you guide me to a good tutorial with easy to follow orders and up-to-date versions of Cyanogenmod as I don't want CM7, but the latest GOOD Jelly Bean version or just tell me how to do this? I will answer any questions you might have about my phone or anything. I'm not stupid when it comes to computers, but phones are totally new thing to me and I don't want to flash new jelly bean with some random tutorials from youtube as I'm afraid of getting a bricked phone (or missing out some great features from other Jelly Bean releases). I want the best for everyday use, most stable and the one with most customization options version of CyanogenMod Jelly Bean for my S2.
Thanks in advance! I will be monitoring this thread actively so I answer possible questions quick.
I think you're a bit confused at some points.. I assume you're on ICS now. First you have to root your phone by flashing a custom kernel (which gaines you root access) like Siyah WITH Odin. Steps are descriped in enough guides on xda.
When you've rooted your phone, it's best to make a Nandroid back up in Recovery Mode (CWM), you get CWM automatically with flashing Siyah, just in case anything goes wrong.
After this you may choose to flash a custom rom, mostly done with CWM recovery. Steps for this part are almost always written at the instructions on the first post of a rom thread, so read them carefully.
About Project Butter: this isn't fully implemented in CM, so flash the JB-leak from Samsung, or a rom based on it (or wait for the official release).

Yes I'm running 4.0.4 forgot to add that sorry. That clears many things up thank you! Oh... I thought that Project Butter was fully implemented on every 4.1.X ROM. Now I'm having hard time deciding if I should flash CM10 or just wait for the official Jelly Bean release which is supposed to come next month in Finland... I just want my phone to be really, really fluid and I'm not really pleased with this current 4.0.4 and all these unneeded programs like all the Samsung Hub programs.
Hi all,
A few newbie queries, if anyone will indulge me please?
I've just got an S3 international verison, having had various Nexus's and HTCs in the past, which I've rooted & used custom roms on. I got this s3, rooted it, then started looking for roms, but i'm a bit lost. It's tricky when you're new to a model of phone and have to re-learn the root nuances.
One of the apps I need is ARLibertator (for pionieer's appradio) which doesn't play nice with any ASOP roms, so I presume I'm going to be stuck with stock.
So far, I've rooted, but haven't updated from mb5>mg4. I've backed up the factory state with a clockwork mod backup and i've done a dump of the EFS using K tool.
Can I update from mb5 > mg4 without any issue using KIES, or do I need to be careful about the change it makes to the EFS?
Also, if i decide not to bother trying to use ARLiberator, am I good to try Cyanogen or similar now, or have I missed any steps or done the wrong thing?
There are stock based custom roms .
Kies will remove root .
Thanks - when you say 'remove' - perfectly safe to re-root the same way again after the update?
Also, what terminology would I need to search for for Roms based on stock - something like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797334
Thanks for the help - really appreciate it.

Yep as jje linked "android development" is mainly samsung based roms where as aosp are mainly in "original android development" as they're original, not reworks if existing work.
There are some aosp roms in "android development" as they are unofficial cm builds for example.
Samsung rom threads usually have the samsung build number in the thread title, eg XXEMG4

Sure you can! ☺
You can run almost any version you want. I'm running kitkat 4.4.4 (the very latest version) on it now.
But you'll have to root it first and perhaps change the bootloader (I did) and install a custom recovery. After all this you can flash almost any ROM you want.
Have fun and Always make a backup!

OK Great, can you point me to where to get the instructions to do the rooting, change the bootloader, install the custom recovery and then the 4.44 upgrade?
I am asking about the rooting because I have see many different suggestions. It there a thread that describes each one of these processes?

It is ever so simple to upgrade your tablet to CM10.1, look at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_p4wifi (I assume it is a P7510 Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi version) to get the quick and easy method of getting Android 4.2.2 on your tablet from a very stable and reliable Custom ROM, superuser and more built-in by default. If ever it does not work for you, then you can always revert to Stock 4.0.4 from Samsung (see sammobile.com for downloads of stock recovery images. You will need to register for free to be able to download).
Hope this is the quick and easy way for you. If you want to go to KitKat 4.4.4, then the nameless (official nightly build) ROM at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2716016 is where you want to start out. Please keep in mind that this release may still have some issues for the Tab, as it still is under development.
Your choice. But no need to root beforehand if you want to load a custom ROM, you only need a recovery manager (either CWM or TWRP, all to personal taste) loaded to continue. Mostly, just to make sure, do the bootloader-thing beforehand as the default Samsung bootloader hates both CMW and TWRP recovery mode, and you could end up with the infamous rolling screen problem.
My suggestion is to start with CM10.1 as that is almost a walk in the park, and the steps are both easy to follow and [almost] never fail.
Hope this makes it a bit clearer. Best of luck in your endeavours to get the stock bloatware off your tablet...
THANK YOU for the complete instructions. this is GREAT. I have several final questions before I try it.
My Tab has Kernal# 3.1.10 [email protected] - 116#2 SMPT PREEMPT Tues Aug 7 19:16:14 KST 2012
Is this process still OK and valid?
I want to be sure I fully understand the process:
1: I install a new bootLoader. WHERE is the code-file, and what is the process?
2: Do the Odlin3 method- Windows (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_p4wifi)
3: I perform the next step: "Installing CyanogenMod from recovery"
4: where do I find the "required Google Apps" as noted in the above "step three".
5: HOW to find and install 4.2.2, or what ever is the most stable OS for this Tab.
Is this process correct? If no please clarify
Sorry for all the "dumb" basic questions. ;(
Thanks

The process is defined for the p4wifi (i.e. P7510 Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, the original Samsung WiFi only, not 3G).
If you have a tab2/tab3/note etc, then you need to navigate a bit there to find your machine. But most of the process is the same, just other binaries/ROM.
The bootloader download is mentioned in the Odin3 method (windows only) of this documentation, within step 1: download pershoots recovery package. Steps 2 to 8 there explain exactly how to start up odin, get your tablet into download mode and transfer the bootloader. Step 10 explains that your have to follow the same steps 2 to 8 to get the recovery tool installed on your tablet.
For the p4wifi the CM10.1 stable roms can be found at: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=p4wifi
The applicable google apps can be downloaded from http://goo.im/gapps , where you have to load the one, related to the flavour. In your case the CM10.1, one (3rd line at this moment) of 20130812.
PLEASE NOTE: If your tablet is not the P7510 (Wifi), but, for example the P7500 (3G), then you might need a different bootloader, recovery mod and CM10.1
CM10.1 is 4.2.2, and has root built-in by default. This 4.2.2 also allows you to create more 'users' on the tablet, do all kinds of nice things, and can be finetuned to improve performance (like overclocking). All built-in by default.
Happy Hunting!
Hey, and don't apologise for asking dumb questions, we all started out asking questions, and this forum is really there to get people started on the path of getting the most out of their tablets. Keep on asking, and there is always somebody out there to help you out if you get stuck.
One advise: get the exact model-number of your tablet (build) and register at sammobile to get a plain stock recovery image, so you can always get back to the default setup, and not lose hope when your tablet gets 'bricked'. We have more than enough expensive doorstoppers in the world to need to add one more. Sammobile gives you the recovery image, base on model and country. These stock recovery images are about 450 MB, and can be restored easily with your big friend Odin (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2142268).
THANK YOU VERY MUCH for clarifying my questions and process. In my prior life I was a process engineer (semiconductors, and hydrogen fuel cells). Thus I like clear instructions. I also see now some of the challenges the web and forums like this one present, because links go dead, and new process and data are constantly being created. Thus the "process" is always in flux.
I think I can now go and try this.
Thanks

Hi to all...

or any other custom or stock rom.
after all, i need to rooting the device to be more flexible
can anyone give me some help ??? rookie here...
thanks in advance
The device is already rooted, you just need to download any custom ROM you want, reboot to recovery, and flash your desired ROM from there.

first of all thanks for your answer.
If I understand properly
therefore, I'll have not any problem because of 4.4.4
that is correct ?
Yes, that is correct. The device is already rooted, with custom recovery, which means you can just reboot to recovery, wipe everything, and flash any desired ROM you want.
@@[email protected]........No disrespect intended, but this is "flashing 101" basics stuff........
The fact that you are asking it, tells me that you don't have the experience needed to do this comfortably.....
That's not a problem though.....we all start from the bottom, and learn as we go.....
But that being the case, i'd advise that you don't do anything to your phone until you've read, learnt and completely understood the processes behind the flashing procedure. It's best to understand what you are doing beforehand, rather than trying to figure out what went wrong afterwards.......

hi every one please i want to downgrade my phone samsung galaxy s2 from jelly bean to gingerbread and i need a link to download the firmware
Hi All,
I successfully root my Samsung Galaxy S3 I-9300 (UK version) last week, now I am trying to install a ROM (based on your reviews I'm going to try the Revolutionary HD), but I couldn't find detailed instructions on how to do it for this phone. I did this process few years ago with my HTC desire, so I'm not totally ignorant of the process. I reviewed the "[Q] Safe Guide to Root and Add Custom best ROM to Samsung Galaxy S3 GT19300 unrooted" but it looks to me that it is developed for Nexus and other phones (the main procedure with no doubt is very similar for sure), but would it be possible to have a detailed procedure for this phone? Starting from what software should I use to do which backups before proceeding.
Apologies if this had been already explained somewhere in this site, maybe I'm just too tired today, but I couldn't find it.
Warmest regards!

Did you mean Revolution HD?
Found this step by step: Install Android Revolution HD v40.0 on Galaxy S3 I9300 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Custom ROM.]]
But you should install the latest: [ROM] Android Revolution HD 52.0.
And I would use TWRP instead of CWM - TWRP I9300.
Or at least PhilZ - [i930x][CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch. It is not being maintained anymore but will work well for now,
How to verify partition location for TWRP
Segio,
Thanks for your quick response.
I used TWRP instead of CWM as you suggested, installed & run the app following the instructions in:
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/114
after selecting the phone model some files are downloaded and then I get the following message from TWRP: "Ensure the partition listed below is the correct one for your device. If you do not verify this then you risk bricking....../dev/block/mmcblk0p6" No / Yes
How can I verify that? Is it safe to proceed?
Warmest regards
Done!
Sergio,
Thanks!, with your help I was able to figure out how to install Revolution HD in my Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300.
It looks great!

Sergio,
Thanks!, with your help I was able to figure out how to install Revolution HD in my Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300.
It looks great!
Thanks again!

Good to know everything went ok. Next step will be to try an AOSP Rom.
Take a look at: [ROM][Sep 13][4.4.4] I9300 AOSP NeatROM v8.0.

Sure!
But for the time being I need to figure out how to root & install a ROM (stock-like) to my wife's Samsung Galaxy 4, she's complaining that it is going slowly. I'll take a look soon.
Just by chance, can you direct me to a tutorial to support that model? We got it in UK, so it is probably the international version of it, need to check though, but what ROM would you recommend? I saw in the forum that Revolution HD its not even mentioned (does it support that model at all?!)
Warmest regards!

Hi All!
Few hours after installing Revolution HD my phone lost the ability of making calls! (quite annoying!), the calls just drop few seconds after hitting the "send" key, no income calls either. Any clues? Please anyone...
Rgds!

Quick update,
I flashed again the ROM, but this time I didn't select the options to make it extra-fast (don't remember the screen name, but it was the only one where you have the chance of making choices) and now it resurrected! I can make & receive calls (for the time being!).
I'll be bothering soon anyway to install other ROMs (AOSP NeatROM seems nice).
By the way, and just if it easy to explain... why do you guys talk of "internal" and "external" microSD cards? As far as I understand there is one slot for mSD cards and I always understand that this is called "external", is there a part of the internal memory of the phone that acts like a "inetrnal" mSD card? If that's the case how to I locate it?
I hope this will just take a brief explanation...
Warmest regards!
Internal SD is a partition of internal memory where data as photos, maps, screenshots, etc are kept. Some apps store backups and large data there.
It will survive a "wipe data" but will not survive a "factory reset".
Double check your S 4 model before flashing, but it is probably a GT-I9505 (international Version).
If you want to keep samsung touchwiz flash [ROM][KitKat][12/09][GNH7 V3.1] WanamLite Fast & Clean.
Or go directy to an AOSP rom: [ROM] SlimSaberKat-jflte-4.4.4-20140921 [unofficial SlimKat builds] for jflte.

Sergio,
Quick update. I was able to re-stock to the original Samsung firmware using ODIN, so I recovered full functionality.
I can confirm that the model is S3 I9300.
Made a backup using TWRP
I realized that I flashed the wrong (or at least out-dated) version of Revolution HD, I got the one you suggested above:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-android-revolution-hd-52-0-android-t1797334
But when flashing it the MD5 sum check failed. I downloaded it again but same results.
Any clues?
