[Asking] Basic Rom - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi! Yesterday my LG G5 is dead. So I had a crazy idea: could I resurrect my old Galaxy S3 and use it until black Friday arrives. Is a bad idea? Could you help me about a simple ROM?
Thank you in advance!

Update the phone to the latest stock ROM, flash TWRP, and look in the ROM development section for a suitable ROM.

Firstly thank u.
I have installed a resurrection remix 2 years ago... I have to install a ROM stock again?
No advice on a stable and "basic\light" ROM?

You didn't mention the baseband and modem version in the phone which is why I recommended installing the latest stock ROM because this will ensure that the phone is running the latest bootloader and modem.
I can't offer advice about a custom ROM because I haven't used an s3 for a long time.

[Q] Newbie Q regarding SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 GT-I9300 UNIFIED TOOLKIT

Hi there
I am a total novice so i apologize if my questions are a completely non-sense.
First of all a really big thanks to the developer who built this amazing and helpful toolkit.
My father is using an S3 European version Orange branded 4.1.2 Android version .I wanted to unlock it so it can work on different gsm carrier.I've installed ALLINONE option(Flashed Insecure boot,Recovery,Root,Busybox,Rename restore Files) Twrp Custom Recovery using the UNIFIED TOOLKIT.Then i used GalaxySimUnlock apk to unlock it.All went smoothly everything is working perfect the phone is unlocked.
Now i have 1 question:
If i'd like to use the official samsung software update because now is not working due to the rooting i am guessing or send the device back to warranty (unexpected undesirable event) I will have to use option no.8 present in the toolkit(Download extract +Flash Stock Rom via Odin).And will my phone remain unlocked OR option number 2-Unroot Option will be enough?(I mention that i didn't yet installed any Custom Rom).
Thank you so much!

No custom rom is bug free decide if the bugs rule the rom out or not .
Later is generally better for any rom build .

Help choosing a ROM

Hello everyone,
Sorry if this is the wrong area, but it felt right at first look. I have a International Galaxy S3, rooted, but still didn`t change the ROM... Since o rooted it to use some apps, I've noticed i couldn't install new updates anymore, so I started looking out for a new ROM.
I got interested in Omega ROM, like this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1720628
My software is still 4.1.2, can I install a 4.2.2 version of Omega, do I need to take some step before?? Besides, is it stable, since it`s not out yet for galaxy s3?? If I install, can I go back to 4.1.2 smoothly??
I'm asking that because I had a Galaxy S1 and had to install a bootloader before changing the room version. Now I'm a little confused...
Thanks for your help

As long as you have an I9300/T you can install any rom, just make sure you do a nandroid before and some wipes as instructed in the thread. The instructions on how to flash e.g. Omega will be in the thread for sure. In addition you have to make sure, at the moment at least, to have the right kernel (e.g. Siyah will not work with the newer 4.2.1/4.2.2 roms).

[Q] Changing ROM

Hey guys. I posted a few days ago with a question about restoring my dad's phone to stock for warranty and this got me thinking about making some changes to my phone as well. I'm currently on Beans rom (Now called Alliance I believe) build 21. I'm thinking about trying out CM11 which I believe is Android 4.4. I went to the CM website to check out a guide on how to do this and came across this: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i605
This guide APPEARS to be written for Note 2's that took the OTA that locked the bootloader. I still have an unlocked bootloader on Beans rom. So my question is do I need to bother with all the steps in that guide? Or is that only if bootloader is locked? Do I need Heimdall or Clockworkmod Recovery? Can I just use TWRP that I already have and do a data/cache wipe and flash the CM11 Rom? Any firmware files needed? Since my current rom is only Android 4.1.2? The Alliance rom thread says to flash MJ9 firmware before flashing their rom but I see no mention of it in the CM guide.
Thanks so much. You guys are the best!

Guys need help to return to stock firmware of 5.0 retailer version in moto E2 3G

Guys pls i need help to install 5.1 in my phone or return to my stock firmware. Only 1 week earlier i rooted my phone and update is release and i have installed twrp recovery how to return to my stock firmware to update my phone pls help or send me a link of stock firmware or instructions to install pls help...
Well let's see here, why did you root your phone in the first place and flash twrp?
I presume it was for a custom ROM. Unless you are selling your phone or giving it to service center, you have so many Marshmallow ROMs out here!!! Why would you want to return to stock!? Just why. You have Resurrection Remix for intense customization, the most trusted Cyanogenmod, You also have aosp caf if you really want a stock experience (Its just as stable as stock with no bugs). I just don't see why you should download 600mb worth data! You could have 2 custom ROMs and a kernel for that amount of data. IMO, don't........ Just don't
