Hey I am new to custom roms and have recently downloaded the UltimaRom v8.1.1 rom to my Galaxy S3. It runs great but there is a new update to v8.1.2 and after downloading from the phone it downloads a zip file and asks me if I want to reboot into recovery. I am wondering how to apply the update as it is only about 16mb so I didn't want to open the zip in recovery unless this is the right thing to do? Thanks for help in advance

if it's a zip file then flash it in recovery mode, since it contains system files that can't be replaced/updated while the android processes are running
Okay does it matter about the size of the zip file?

is there a thread for that specific ROM? if so, have you asked in there?
I have not seen one as of yet but I will continue searching!

I am currently on Zeus 4.0 and do not quite understand how I can flash the firmware from the Asus site. Can I simply flash the file through TWRP?
Thanks in advance.

You can,but if you are still on 9.4.5.26 bootloader i would recommend you to use the NvFlash tool first (see the Development forum for nvflash).
Already done. Thought those files might come in handy one day.

You have to extract the zip ,it will result in another .zip wich you can use with TWRP.

Man,
My questions must be so stupid that I can't even get someone to respond!
When trying to flash certain things using CWM, I am prompted to install an “untrusted zip"...
Has anyone experienced this and is it safe to install untrusted ???
Please help

Is whatever you're flashing stated as compatible with your device/made for your device? Have you tried flashing with a different recovery (If available)?
I have Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 and was trying to flash the nexus 4 boot animation..
This happened a few days ago when I tried to flash some of the android 4.2 system dump.
Both times it says “ install untrusted zip". I just tried to toggle verification and that did not help.
Thanks for helping

You might as well just make a backup and then flash .
I'm such a noob I don't even know how to make a backup, I've been trying to figure this out for days!

No. It's not safe to run untrusted.zip. It may be contained with viruses and may screw up your phone or PC. Only run files with actual names because you don't know if it's good or bad. It can crash your phone, not to mention your PC.

"Untrusted" is not the file name. The recovery is just stating that the file is "untrusted" since its not official from the manufacturer.
Hopefully your phone is rooted, if it's not I can't help ... make sure you have an unlocked bootloader and install Rom Toolkit from Google Play. Rom Toolkit has a bunch of boot animations for free, including the nexus 4 animation. Also, it will install these from the app itself - much easier than doing it in CWR.

Hey rookie, welcome to xda!
While I've got your attention..
Can you guys help me with something else??
I'm running jellywiz RLS12, yesterday I flashed a 4.2MOD pack over jellywiz. After flashing it, I realized I didn't want it. I tried to research how to “unflash" stuff but was unsuccessful, ended up having to do a factory reset and reinstall jellywiz.
Any pointers on how to do this more effectively??
Thank you!

I got the OTA update on my gs3 to jelly bean yesterday. Is it possible to root it using the file i used to root it in ics 4.0.4? Do i need to download a new .tar file to root 4.1.1 or will using the same file be okay?

Posting this here, I made an account just to ask this question. I've rooted a few of my devices but this is my first time rooting a phone. I followed the link you posted but when I boot into recovery using CWM and try to flash SupersSU_Bootloader.zip I get an E:signature verification failed.
Any thoughts?
No sorry haven't rooted mine yet. I'd try adding in the thread for the root.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Well I fixed it, for some reason it was booting into the normal samsung recovery instead of CWM. I know its kind of obvious but hey....give me a break
For other newbies having the same issue make sure you are booting into CWM and not the stock samsung recovery.
How do you change which recovery the phone boots into?

You don't. The ota was overwriting cwm on boot like the last ics ota was. The directions for the root method are updated to get around that now.

Yup! I saw the update about 10 minutes ago and I am now rooted!

Look at it this way. ICS rom. Get ICS gapps. JB ROM. JB gapps

Get EzRecovery from the play store. Pretty much self explanatory from there after you have downloaded the latest recovery img file.

If you downloaded from the CWM website, it downloads as an img file not a zip. If its an img file, yes it will work.
I wemt to the website and wasn't able to dl the img file... Clicked on the Verizon SGS3 version and it showed a whole bunch of code... Nothing dl into my phone... Sorry for being a noob but how am I to transfer that code on my phone???

Shouldn't be seeing code, just a lot of devices and their CWM download links. I just downloaded it using Chrome, so try using Chrome, Dolphin, or another browser then find the VZW S3:

if you "long press" in dolphin, it'll give you an option to "Save Link." For some reason, sometimes, it just opens the file in html and displays it on the webpage and sometimes it doesn't.
