hi, i am newb
i have a galaxy s2 plus i9105p based on android 4.1.2. i tried OTA updates but could find.
now i wanted to root it and install CM 12.1 on it.
i rooted it with firmware 4.1.2 via KINGROOT and install CWM non touch recovery on it.
now problem is in order to install CM 12.1 you must have stock 4.2.2 firmware.
please tell me how i update it to 4.2.2 now or any other method that i can install CM 12.1 on it

Ok..so you have to Odin back to stock before installing this rom! Do not flash from cm! It will give errors and mess up.
Hello. Recently I've installed CM 10.2 with installer. Phone doesn't seem to be rooted,as installer may have locked it again? The thing is I want to root it and the question is ,do I do it the same way I found on some guide for 4.1.2 stock JB, where they first use Jeboo kernel, then root phone, or I go straight to root? I am confused since I cm 10.2 is android 4.3 jb version and I believe it has different kernel than stock already.

Hello gentlemen, I have Galaxy S3 and I have there stock rom from samsung android version 4.3 (specifically i9300XXUGNA8) and I would like to try a MIUI rom. However I find guide only with downgrade on stock rom version I9300XXDLJ4 which is android 4.1.1. But I know that it used old EFS file version 1 and in my rom is EFS v2. So if I downgrade it, the telephone was not work - especially signal from operator. Does anyone have any advice or some guidance on how the stock Samsung rom to MIUI. Thanks for the advice. (and sorry for my english)

I've used the MIUI rom for s3, and trust me, it's really good. The only downside is that you have to downgrade to android version 4.2.2 which is CM based. The latest version is based on 4.2.2, not 4.1.1
You have to do this:
1) Root your s3 following a proper guide. There are plenty on the net. Just google it.
2) Install a custom recovery. I recommend TWRP or Philz Touch recovery.
3) Download the MIUI rom from their official website en.miui.com
4) Flash the rom using the recovery.
Done. Hope this helped

Tried using spirit rom 4..4.4 but gave error 7 in recovery mode.
I am on android 4..12 PhilZ-cwm-6-XWLSZ-OJC-5.15.-9
Tried looking his thread but can't seem to find an update?
CWM Base version 6.0.3.7
Build version 5.15.9 i9100
compiled 30 sept 2013
How do I update to android latest, 4.4.4 and preferably also phil version I used??
I can't seem to update! Please assist.
you need a kitkat compatible kernel.. browse spirit roms thread for compatible kernels
afaik philz is based on stock so it isnt compatible with kitkat roms (maybe wrong)
Hello everyone, recently my friend wants to update his S3 android from 4.1.2 to 4.4, but however the OTA software update shows that the newest update has been installed
How can he get an update of android of his S3? His phone information are as below , please ignore the Chinese characters
Btw he wants to try UPSM on his phone, does he need to root his phone
Please help me
No 4.4 update was released for i9300. The last firmware is 4.3 (you can find HERE).
If he really wants 4.4 or above... yeah he needs root. The most similar ROM for i9300 version 4.4 is the back-to-n00t by arter97.
Cheers.

Thanks a lot
do I need to install a universal offical ROM to let him update from 4.1 to 4.3 via OTA?
No, if 4.1 is official just download and flash via Odin the 4.3.
