Hey guys, I was wanted to root my gs3 using this guide [GUIDE] Root for Jelly Bean 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 OTA ***UPDATED 5/29*** - xda-developers but for step 6 where you flash the bootchain the only bootchain versions offered are for 4.1.2 are VRBMB1 and VRBMD3. I have Verizon and have baseband version VRBMF1. I know that that step is optional but how important is it? After rooting I am wanting to flash to an aosp 4.2.2 rom or a cyanogenmod 10.1 rom. Will I still be able to do this if I don't restore the bootchain? Also on an unrelated question , i know that the stock android camera doesnt have the option to save pictures to the sd card, Will I be able to do this on a stock android rom? Thank you all for your help

Not very important to flash the bootchain at all. Yes, you can flash whatever rom, kernel, or mod regardless of your bootchain's status.

Not sure I understand your question cuz you used the phrase "stock android rom" as a comparison to itself. Do you mean "I know stock android (per a Nexus device) does not have an option to save to external sdcard so does AOSP on the GSIII have this option by default?" If you meant this, I don't believe JB 4.3 roms on our device support it natively. I'm not sure about JB 4.2.2 roms. For example, I've been using Slim Bean beta (AOSP 4.3) since Saturday and there's no setting to save to external sdcard cuz it uses the 4.3 camera. I imagine more of AOSP is like this. More responses will be helpful.

Hi guys
I've just flashed CM9 rom on my Goclever A971.
Work fine quick and stable
Now I'm wondering if it is possible to flash another ROM but don't know if I need specific ROM cooked exactly for this TAM or I can use any one ie. Jelly Bean for Samsung TAbs ?

Plase check out the CM10 rom from the "inofficial allwinner" firmware thread. You will have to use the "compatbility zip" for the Mediacom 910i. This device is identical to the Mediacom. I'm running Jelly Bean 0902 on it. It is the best rom thus far for this hardware.

Hi,
I have a WIFI Xoom with the latest 4.1.2 update. Unfortunately I am not rooted and it seems that it is not possible to flash a working CWM or to root on 4.1.2
Is there anyway to go back to an earlier android version so that I can then root?
Thanks for any help.
I'm rooted 4.1.2 ?

I got the Xoom after it had the official 4.1.2 update so there is no way to load CWM on it, or at least none of the methods here work.
My tab is originally in 4.0.4 with root.
Then, I flashed the official firmware of 4.1.1 via ODIN to my tab.
I think the official 4.1.1 is not that smooth.
It is safe for me to upgrade with existing root?? Do I need to flash again??
Also, how to root the 4.1.1??
Thanks in advance!
I understand that Android JB 4.1.1 OTA has been released for WiFi Gtab2's, but those of us with VZW models are stuck at ICS 4.0.4. Would really like to make use of butter and Google Now and other JB enhancements using a semi-stock ROM. I haven't been able to find anything. What am I missing?
so no one is working on this?
OK, I got my Device back to 4.1.2 Jelly Bean But I'm trying to get the OC Kernel & 4.4 EOS KitKat ROM. What the best way to do this?
Edit: It's is stocked, No root or anything.
