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

Hey everyone, this is my first thread on this huge community. Can someone suggest me a custom ROM that can be flashed using ODIN or Mobile ODIN or via CWM 4.0.x.x? I've tried twice to install the 6.0.x.x version, but in both cases I soft bricked my device
I am searching for a Stable ROM, possibly kit kat or higher (but an improved version of Jelly Bean would be OK).
I would really like a Lollypop Custom ROM, but, as I sad before, I failed twice. Thanks for your help!

Hello,
You should update your recovery to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/kernel-t2291756
You cannot flash a kitkat or a lollipop ROM with a CWM 4.0.X.X recovery as it is very old.
Once you've installed the above mentioned latest Apolo kernel, you can go ahead and flash any other ROM normally as you would do with any other recovery.
Regards
Hi!
A friend has a Samsung Galaxy S III (I9300). He would like to change ROM, now he's on latest firmware (4.3 if I remember right).
He like Android Lollipop based ROMs, but if there are other ROMs (KitKat for example) that are best we'll install it.
I don't know how to flash a kernel, a recovery and a ROM on Samsung phone (I have a Sony).
So please can you tell a good ROM smooth and stable for this phone? And also can you tell me how to flash it (noob guide because I don't know Samsung phones).
We don't want to try all ROM (I'm impressed, there are very many ).
Thanks in advance!
P.S.: Sorry for my bad English.

Here you will learn everything about flashing a custom ROM on a Samsung Galaxy S III I9300.
To choose your ROM, you can first of all decide if you want a Samsung-based or an AOSP-based ROM.
Another thing not mandatory but positive is to see that people are still using a ROM, so look in the I9300 Android Development and Original Development forums for active [ROM] threads.
Once you’ve chosen the one you want, be sure to read its thread carefully before flashing it.
Hope it helped!
I recommended this KitKat ROMs (stable,fast,smooth) (TOP for me)
Blekota Note 4 lite v4
Blekota S5 v11
QS-i9300 kitkat NJ1
Back to n00t v9.
I'm looking for a rooted stock rom I can flash using Mobile Odin. Any help or direction will be helpful thanks:good:
At (galaxy note 3 root dot com, sorry I cant post links until 10 post made) they have the stock firmware. I flashed that (4.3) and was back to stock. It prompted me to upgrade to 5.0 (after two 4.4 upgrades) and than I rooted. You can go that route. I have a nandriod of rooted 5.0. Best bet is to flash stock firmware from link (via odin), factory upgrade to where you want and root.
Or my advice is forget about 5.0 as it sucks and flash an aosp based rom like cm12.1 or aicp 10 (both running 5.1.1) and....blast off! I never thought I could upgrade my phone and speed it up at the same time.
I just found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/development/rom-t3132662 rooted stock 5.0
I have Samsung S3 GT-I9300CDMA /GSM mobile global unlocked mobile.I am using CDMA network in India. I want to install CM 11 or 12 on mine mobile but I think it’s not possible as bootloader is locked. The snap shot of the android firmware version is attached .I have rooted it with towel root app but unable to unlock bootloader as its android version4.4.2.I tried to install TWRP recovery but its failed.
It seems that Verizon SGH-I535 4.4.2 stock ROM Is installed on Samsung S3 GT-I9300 mobile.
I want to install safe strap on mobile,before that I want to download 4.4.2 stock ROM which is installed on my mobile.Pls suggest
1)Which firmware I have to flash in case its get bricked? Verizon I535- 4.4.2 stock ROM or Samsung S3 GT-i9300,Base band version I9300XXUGNA8,Build number KOT49H.I9300XXUGND5 ?
I am unable to find out the firmware installed on my mobile on google.
2) Can anyone provide me the link from which I can download this firmware.
if im not wrong i never found stock kitkat rom for the s3 i9300 samsung never released one , god knows why , but i can tell you if you really wanna try a build then i'd suggest you try cm 11 one of the snapshot versions it worked great for me and it made my device so much better.
Bootloader of my mobile is locked so i cant flash CM11. I want to flash ROM using Safestrap. I required the 4.4.2 version of Stock ROM which is installed on my mobile, in case my mobile get Bricked.
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
