Hi all,
i would like to ask how to install a custom rom onto my samsung galaxy s3 mini and note 8.0. I know there are many guides but i just made a switch from apple and i have no idea what they mean, even the clearest one.. I just want to update these devices to lollipop since they are still on 4.1.2 jelly bean. Omnirom or cyanogen or others, i dont mind, i just want an updated device. Step by step instructions on everything would be perfect thank you!! By the way, i dont have windows, only mac.

Hi,
to install CWM Recovery and root the tab, you can follow these instructions (point A) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722745
Then if you want to install a custom rom, follow these instruction (this is for CyanogenMod 10.1 but I think it is the same way to install other roms) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2052290

Are you purchasing new ? Or are getting this second hand ? The only reason I ask is because 4.2.1 is not the "stock" software at this time.
Mine came stock with 4.0.4, and I have read that they are now shipping with 4.1.1 installed
The only 4.2.1 version currently out is the custom CyanogenMod 10.1 ROM.
May just be a typo on your original post - but figured I would ask just in case

Change the title of your thread to reflect your question. This will help others in your situation to quickly find and learn from your post, in turn hopefully preventing more 'how do I root/flash' threads.
Hello everyone !
So I am new here so please forgive me if this question has already been asked. My samsung s3 SGH-I747M is running the new android 4.3. I was wondering if I can root this at this given moment ? Also for most of the methods I could find online, they all assume that I am running android 4.1.2. Does it matter what os I am when rooting ? Or can I goahead and use the methods for os 4.1.2 despite running 4.3. If not, could someone please direct me to a guide for rooting an s3 SGH-I747M running android 4.3 ? Thanks !

Though the above link talks about i9300, I think u can give it a look. Below is the link where CF-Auto-Root is included for ur model.
http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
Anyway's am just suggesting a link, not that am an expert
I would highly doubt the ROM version matters. This has more to do with much lower-level code, so unless the S3 had significant hardware revisions between i9300 releases, everything is the same.
Do you have a computer with Windows 7 or older?
If s, I would try using CASUAL. You literally plug in the phone and click a button.
http://gs3.wonderhowto.com/how-to/e...our-samsung-galaxy-s3-just-one-click-0145341/
This does NOT work on Windows 8 or above.
thanks for all your help guys ! I'll def try it out and let you guys know how it goes.
And I have windows 8 :/

Hi Team,
Hope your are doing good.
I am big fan of your team. I love your forum very much. I have a Samsung note 3 LTE version (9005) which is running on Android 4.4.2 kitkat currently. It is a rooted device and I want to install the note 4 ROM designed by you guys and the developer name is gooh. I have downlaoded the file which is 1.36 GB. It was mentioned in the site that it does not contain a kernel along with it and i have to download it separetely and flash it. Can you please advise me on how to install the ROM on my phone and also the precautions that i need to take before I install this rom on to my phone?
This would be a great help.
Many thanks.

Senior member "g00h" has created several ROMs for the Note 3.
Do you mean this: [ROM][ODEX/DEODEX][N900X][10/Dec][Tweaked S5 BASE/N4 STYLE][Performance & Battery]?
Or this: ♕[ROM][MULTI-CSC][12/02][Tweaked PORTED Note4 L TW][Performance &Battery]♕?
Backup is recommended before flashing a new ROM.
And then follow the steps from first post "How to Install" or "How to Install N9005".
If you have further questions, please register on xda and post in the ROM thread directly ... or in the corresponding Q&A thread.
Or in the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Help and Troubleshooting forum.
Thread closed. Thanks you!
As Pokemon GO is coming close to being released here in Brazil i decided to look for an update to my sm-g3812b (Galaxy win pro duos or Galaxy s3 slim), but I can not find any rom(android 4.4) that works.
I wonder if it is possible to make a rom port from these models(or from any other) to s3 slim:
pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=6019&c=samsung_sm-t231_galaxy_tab4_7.0_3g_samsung_degas
pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=6020&c=samsung_sm-t230_galaxy_tab4_7.0_wifi_samsung_degas
and if possible would like to know if any developer would be willing to give that little help, I saw a lot of people looking for this rom.
Thank you for your attention and apologize for English errors.

Hello everyone,
I'm new to this platform and to be honest a bit overwhelmed. Apologize if this thread is in the wrong section.
I should also mention that I'm not too familiar with technical points.
I own an old Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (P5110) which claims its Android version 4.2.2 is still the most recent one for this device.
So I'm looking for a way to update to a newer versuon, at least Android 6.
My first question is which Android version you suggest?
Second one, how exactly do I do this (is there a step by step tutorial)?
Third one what are the risks? I read something about data loss and completely broken devices?
Thank you in advance.

Mate, I'm on the same boat. Same tablet, also overwhelmed The only response to your post points to some custom ROM page but the instructions are not detailed. I thought I had to throw my tablet but it seems like it still has some life to breath if I can get it a newer ROM (many apps are not supported anymore with Android 4.2).
I think the first thing to do is root the device but where to start? I'd prefer using linux with adb, etc.
There is a lot of stuff here. Is there anyone that has taken the time to write a detailed step by step guide somewhere?
BTW, my intention is not only to revive the device but to ditch all Google crap apps. In an ideal world, I would have installed a ROM from /e/ Foundation, but they do not support the device so I guess my next best bet is some custom ROM that uses LineageOS?
Hi,
First you need to root your device and install TWRP recovery:
More info here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...final-root-single-step-twrp-recovery-t3404779
It's an old thread but you'll get the idea.
See this one as well:
https://www.getdroidtips.com/twrp-recovery-samsung-galaxy-tab-2/
You'll need to find the correct version for your model otherwise you'll and up with a nice paperweight.
After this, you'll be able to back up your current ROM and install new ones. Unfortunately, I have a different model of Tab 2 that has no available custom ROM's so I can't say which ROM is better than other. I would read more in the link provided for slim roms.
To get rid of the installed bloatware and even Google apps I used SD Maid. See my thread below with what's left on my tablet (Disclaimer: it's a barebone setup and not all things work so I don't advise going that deep unless you're willing to take the risk of having a bricked tablet. You were warned!):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...recting-samsung-tab-2-10-1-att-i497-t4079993/.
