Hello. I am in need of deleting an OS/ROM I installed on my device. I was trying to fix my Samsung Galaxy S3, and installed a ROM with a really crappy kernel, so now it doesn't work in any useful manner. Since I don't have an SD card, and can't install a new kernel, I was wondering how I could delete the OS, so it is soft bricked in order for me to re-install a better OS/ROM? I have what I believe is a better ROM, but I can't override the one I have installed with Odin, as it says FAIL!. Please help me, I am desperate to fix this phone, and I need to completely restore it to original STOCK functionality, so I can use it again. If you can help me reset the phone, and get it up and running again, that would be amazing. If you can please walk me through resetting it, installing a new ROM, and Kernel if possible, I will give you my soul ( or a Thanks!).
Info:
-Samsung Galaxy S3
-Not Connected to a Carrier ( Pay as you go thing)
-Model: SGH-I747
-United States
-Was Rooted, Then Soft Bricked during an Update , Then This Mess
-Android Version 4.3
-Kernel Version 3.0.31-2024954
-Build Number JSS15J.I747UCUEMJB
-Currently NOT rooted
Things I can't do:
-Use an SD card, I don't have one, and I am broke
-Sodder or mess with the phones internals
Please, if you can, provide links and instructions, I am out of options.

I want to give my S3 Mini Root Access to potentially start installing Custom Roms. However, researching the topic has gotten extremely confusing. I have the international version but I don't know from which country. I got it off Amazon.com. My questions are
1. How do I go about giving this S3 Mini root Access
2. How do I go back to the Stock ( Samsung FW/ Rom if I do not like the Rom I installed)
3. Are there easy methods to rooting with a MAC device? ( My main computer but I can find access to a windows computer if needed)

Any help or information will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the quick reply. I was able to root my phone. Now my question is that I would like to run a lag free system. Would changing the Rom fix that? Will I lose any features on my phone? I want a rom that is Simple ( google edition phone/ no bloatware) My current system is 4.2.1, would I need to stay on 4.2.1 to keep my features or that doesnt matter.
Please post that question in Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting so that the right experts may help you.

Hi,
You can ask for help here,

Just be sure to specify your exact model number, as that's the forum for i9000. But yours is covered in that section too. And don't ever flash anything that wasn't made for your exact model also.
Good luck!
Thank you. Thread closed.
Hello Guys,
I wanted to install S5 rom on my S4 Gt-i9505. So, i firstly tried to root it with Kingo Root but i think i couldnot root it completely. Now, when i talk over phone it shuts down etc etc.
Plz help me can i install S5 rom or should I go to previous rom (how can I???).
Any help will be appriciated
Hello. The first thing I would advice is to get your device working correctly before proceeding any further. Secondly I would highly suggest never to flash a Rom that is not specifically for your device. Meaning, do not try to flash an S5 Rom on your device. Unless of course it has been ported over. The links below should help you get your S4 up, and running again. Best of luck .

BUT! if i don't like it, or if I Brick my phone, with that backup of the ORIGINAL STOCK ROM, fix it.

When i download roms that require gapps, gapps stops working all apps i cant even get in the phone it over runs me, then when i try to download a rom that doesnt require gapps it just restarts because of a set bit kernel warranty or or something so is it possible that custom roms don't work for my phone.
