Hi. I'm kinda of noob on this and i need a ROM for my brother's Galaxy S3. Something fast, nice and with Kit Kat SO if that's possible.
Of course i need a tutorial for dumb asses
I've allready install some ROMs for S2 but i can't remember anything of it.
BTW - i've got nothing change on the phone. It cames from factory. No flash no nothing.
Thanks

You can check out sammobile.com and download the specific firmware for S3 and your carrier. You also need to download ODIN.

yes, using odin you do it the same way.
Yes, it was rooted as the rooting was part of lightening rom.
You will need to root it yourself if you put a stock rom not a custom rom on it.
Look in this thread for your vodafone rom

Hello there guys, I just rooted my Galaxy S2, after downloading Odin3, insecure kernel JPKJ2, as I also used Samsung quick root, everything seems ok, I didnt brick my phone, but the only prob is that I couldnt find CWM after the phone rebooted, the only app I found was SuperSU, did I skip something while rooting ? can you guys please suggest how I can fix this issue ?
Thank You.

Probably yes!
Please post your Rom details.
I used a similar method to root my sgs2 for the first time a long time ago...anyway i had the same problem, what happened was that it only rooted the phone for me and for cwm i had to flash cwm 4(latest at the time) as a .tar file so maybe that will fix it...try it!

Hey bud, If you want to check if you are properly rooted or not try updating script in su or download a root only app like titanium backup & run it. If it comes up with a permission request then all good you're rooted. As for the cwm app, many people including myself avoid it like the plague as it can have incompatibility problems with "cwm recovery" which is different to the "cwm app". If you must have it you can download from the playstore, but make sure you flash zips through recovery not the app.
CWM is part of the kernel, so if you want it you must flash such one like CF-Root or Siyah.

Sorry ... i mean the "original stock kernel (not rom)" ! Where can i find this for a german Galaxy SII (IML74K.XWLPI) ?
firemouz said:
Thank you for the link.
I found "I9100XWLPI_I9100DBTLP6_DBT.zip" and hope this is the right one for my smartphone. I am not sure what the difference between "Germany-MBC" and "Germany-DBT" is...
Can anyone confirm me that i have the right one ?

The DBT one is for the carrier Deutsche Bundespost Telekom. I don't know the other one, but yes, that is the correct one!
Thank you.
And where can i a "original stock kernel" for a german Galaxy SII (IML74K.XWLPI) ?
Thanks for ur helpful replies, I was able to download CWM and reflash it using Odin, however when I tried installing new ROMs using CWM recovery mode, the phone wouldnt start, although that when I finish installing the .zip file everything seems to be done correctly, but my phone just wouldnt launch, when I turn it on I get the Samsung GT-i9100 and the yellow ( ! ) mark cause I didnt flash a secure kernel yet, then its gets stuck on the resurrection remix loading phase
Any inputs guys ? regarding I was able to restore the stock rom and launch the phone regularly, but now I can not :crying:
Can you get to recovery or download mode?
You can find at http://androidfirmwares.net/
U can check root by root checker app at play store.

First of all: it's 'rooted', not 'rotted'
Some roms come with a new modem, so if you want to change it, you can flash it through Recovery. Some others don't, but you can check it of course in Settings -> About phone.
About your request for a JB rom: even if you're from NZ, you still have to try them for yourself to see which rom perfectly matches your preferences.

Hi I was trying to flash my i9100 4.1.2 with 4.4.2 folowing
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/galaxy-s2-...4-4-2-kitkat-via-omnirom-1433850#.UwJLn85A3iX
when flashed the rom restared the handset to flash the Gapps file it got stuck on the starting samsung screen. I attached the screen shot to this post.
I tried to take the battery out for 10 mins & put it back on its still stuck on this screen.
I am able to go to in download mood & its showing on Odin when connected the handset.
PLease kindly someone help me with it.
Regards,
Hash
will leave the battery out for long & see if it works !!!
Try going into recovery and formatting data? Can you get into recovery? If not flash stock with Odin and try again
At least if I can go back to stock ROM which is 4.1.2 at least Please help
Thanks allot for your respond. No I am not able to go into the recovery unfortunately. only can go into download mood
What do you want help with? Flashing with Odin? First go to Sammobile.com and get 4.1.2 firmware from there. I'll give you a link for flashing with Odin if you can't find a good one.

This link is for the S3 but flashing with Odin is the same as with the s2. I link you to this as its a good guide but do remember that's it's for the S3 so don't be silly and flash i9300 firmware on you're i9100. Hope you understand if not tell me and i'll delete the link. Read it and understand what you need to do before you flash with Odin.
Reading is easy, fixing is not. :screwy:

GT-I9100 United Kingdom (Vodafone) 2014 January 4.1.2 I9100XWMS2 I9100VODLSF kies
at the end was Kies icon
Pick a carrier free one.
But i can't see the option of choosing carrier
X.......e.......u
If you're planning on rooting and installing a custom ROM again you may as well just go with the Vodaphone one then go from there. I do have a copy of the unbranded one (can't remember where from) so it is out there if you really need it, only downloaded it last week.
I rooted using Philz kernel, if you search XDA for that you will find the info on how to do it and it seemed the easiest way to go...

Hello
Hi, I'm very new to this forum. I just got my Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 (International) and searched about rooting the GS3. Root will void the warranty and if I have a problem, I can ask the community for help.
What I really need to know is,
1)what will happen when I unplug the usb cable while my phone in the download mode?
2)Is there a problem that can't be fixed on Samsung Galaxy S3?
3)Most of the "how to root SG3 GT-I9300 using odin" root from android ICS and goes to Jellybean while my android version already 4.3 Jellybean. How to root it to android 4.4.4 Kitkat?
I need some advice should I root the GS3?
Maybe there is more thing I need to know but, this is enough for me to know at this time. Thanks

Hello
1)Just dont unplug usb cable if u're flashing something to your phone while in download mode. if you're not flashing/doing anything then nothing happens
2) Could you be more specific? Like what kind of problem? Software side , i think there is not ^^
3) i9300 did not recieve official kitkat update, you can only have kitkat if you're going to flash custom ROMs(kitkat).
You have to root your phone on your current ROM ( 4.3 jellybean) , then u will flash latest cwm recovery and after that u will flash Any custom ROM u want ^^
You should indeed root your S3 to remove bloatware/system apps that u never use. This helps your battery to last longer, alot.
Also Touchwiz becomes smoother with way less apps on background ^^
For rooting:
download Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root for i9300, extract/unzip it.
Put ur phone in download mode and flash the file via Odin

You're welcome, hit the Thanks button if i helped you
After rooting and installing latest CWM recovery for your i9300, You can find Kikat custom roms in here(xda), download the one u like and flash it.
You need to put the rom in ur phone memory/sdcard, enter recovery mode and flash it.
Its 5 months already that im using S5 Sensation ROM | kitkat 4.4.4 for my i9300. This rom comes with S5/note4 features and performs pretty well.

No problem at all Rooting doesnt give you any kind of problem ^^ Just dont mess with system files unless you know what you're doing.
Main purpose of rooting is to remove bloatware ( useless system applications) and make battery life longer with some modifications.
