In this post I’ll take you through the steps needed to install a custom Android ROM on to the Samsung Galaxy S3 (international i9300) and how to root it!
There’s always more than one way of successfully achieving this but these are the steps that I take and the tools that work for me.
With regards to your linux operating system, this post should be relevant to any Debian-based linux distro such as Ubuntu but I will be using Linux Mint today.
Here I will supply you will all the necessary files needed for the device and give you my opinion as to why I choose the Galaxy S3 as my device target of choice.
The biggest challenge for me with this project was that specific versions of files needed to be used.
Because the S3 is an older device, using the latest software in some cases would not work!
The files that I supply here was what I found to work.
