Latest Android 4.1 JellyBean ROM for your Galaxy S3
You might be wondering where this is headed..Jellybean has not been released for Galaxy S3 yet. You are right my friend, but there have been numerous leaks of the 4.1 ROM and the latest one is Buttery Smooth and Stable. All the features are fully functional.
So if you want to take a dive..read along:
Latest 4.1 firmware is GT-I9300XXDLI5 for BTU (United Kingdom) region. But dont worry it works flawlessly in all the regions.
To try these leaks you will have to choose either of the two below mentioned methods:
Using Odin:
Odin is the all purpose tool for Samsung devices which has completely replaced Kies on many PCs. It is light, fast, fluid and reliable.
You will need to first set up Odin in your PC (Hemidall in case of Mac users, dont ask me how to do it as I dont have a mac). Get Odin from here.
Once you have downloaded the zip file. Extract it somewhere you will remember.
Open the extracted folder and then open Odin3_v3.04.exe. It will ask you for administrator privileges, grant it.
Now download the latest ROM from here. Extract the tar from this zip to your PC.
Boot your phone into download mode, you can do this by pressing and holding Volume Down+Power+Home buttons together. Release the buttons when you see a robot with yellow triangle. Now press volume up button to enter into download mode.
Connect your phone to your PC. You will see Odin will recognize your phone and will show a message "Connected". The first box in the third row from the top will turn blue and say ID:COM7.
Now, the fun starts, click on PDA button and choose the tar file you had just extracted. Only Auto Reboot and F.Reset.Time options should be checked in the boxes above. If the Re-Partition box is checked Un-check it.
Click on Start, Odin will start installing your ROM. It will take some time so be patient. Once the installation is complete, your phone will reboot and you will have Jelly Bean on your phone.
Using ClockworkMod Recovery:
To get CWM recovery on your phone check my earlier blogs.
Download the ROM from here.
Put the zip file on your SDcard. Reboot into CWM recovery by pressing and holding Volume Up+Power+Home buttons together. Choose "Install from SDcard", Navigate to the zip file and choose "Yes" when asked for confirmation.
Once installed reboot your phone and enjoy the Jellybean goodness.
Both the Firmwares can be used by any International Galaxy S3 phones. You dont have to worry about which firmware you are currently at.
Enjoy the Android Goodness !!
