Let’s see how to install the Android 4.4 KitKat on your Rogers Galaxy S3 SGH-I747R.
WARNING!
Warranty may be void of your device if you follow the procedures given on this page.
You only are responsible for your device. We won’t be liable if any damage occurs to your device and/or its components.
CHECK DEVICE MODEL NO.
Do not use the procedures discussed here on any other Galaxy S3 (including the S3 devices at Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T and the international ones) or any other device of Samsung or any other company. You have been warned!
BEFORE YOU BEGIN..You must do this pre-installation stuff before attempting to install the ROM on your Rogers Galaxy S3 in order to avoid any complications later, and have a smooth and successful process.
GET THE LATEST CWM/TWRP RECOVERYMake sure that you’ve latest version of the recovery of your choice installed on your device.
Older versions of both CWM and TWRP recoveries are not working with Android 4.4 based ROMs, throwing installation errors and WiFi bugs, therefore you need to use the latest version of either recovery. We believe TWRP v2.6.3.0 and above, and CWM v6.0.4.3 and above are working fine with Android 4.4 ROMs.
BACK UP YOUR DEVICEBack up important data and stuff before you start playing around here as there are chances you might lose your apps and app-data (app settings, game progress, etc.), and in rare case, files on the internal memory, too.

No Cm13 But An Aosp Rom For Galaxy S3 Brings Marshmallow Update Unofficially
There is an AOSP ROM based on Google’s Marshmallow update available already for Galaxy S3. This is particularly for model no. GT-i9300, and won’t work on other Galaxy S3 sets.
If you own a Galaxy S3 in US from T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, US Cellular, etc. then do NOT try this AOSP ROM on your Galaxy S3.
Read: Galaxy S5 CM13
This is unofficial Marshmallow update, as it’s not from Samsung, but is based on Marshmallow code in AOSP source. But if you love latest OS, you’ll love them even though they aren’t as stable as Samsung updates. On the plus side, you get to experience pure Android UI on Marshmallow, as designed by Google.
We’ve also covered Marshmallow update based CM13 for other Samsung devices, and that also includes a pretty old device like Galaxy Tab 7.7. Apart from that, Galaxy Grand 2 Marshmallow update is also available via CM13.
Read: Galaxy Note 3 CM13
CM13 is also releasing for non-Samsung devices too, and chief among them are Motorola devices. Many Moto G and Moto E devices have already scored an unofficial CM13 ROM, thus getting to taste the 6.0 even before Motorola comes with an official update, or even if Motorola ave no plans to release a 6.0 update for those devices.
Likewise, Sony’s Xperia SP has also CM13 and Marshmallow update this way.
For CM13 release date for other devices, check out the link below.
Read: CM13 Release Date
Note: Check the source page here (by brianelv) for details and download link of latest release. As the ROM is under heavy development and new features are added and bugs ironed out, we recommend you check out the details to know current bugs and become fully aware of what’s working and what’snot, before installing the ROM.
[On AOSP ROM, as on
November 2
, everything appears to be working fine, which is why we’d recommend the Galaxy S3 AOSP ROM to you, compared to CM13 in current stage.]
Supported devices
Samsung Galaxy S3, model no. GT-i9300
Don’t try this on Galaxy S3 from Sprint, T-Mobile, AT&T, US Cellular and Verizon.
Don’t try this on any device whose model no. is not same as the one specified above.
[On AOSP ROM, as on, everything appears to be working fine, which is why we’d recommend the Galaxy S3 AOSP ROM to you, compared to CM13 in current stage.]
→ Use the Droid Info app to determine the model no. of your device. If it is exactly the one specified above, then it should be compatible with the 6.0 custom ROM we have here.
Warning!
Warranty may be void of your device if you follow the procedures given on this page. You only are responsible for your device. We won’t be liable if any damage occurs to your device and/or its components.
Backup!
Backup important files stored on your device before proceeding with the steps below, so that in case something goes wrong you’ll have backup of all your important files.
How to Install
Step 1. Also make sure that you have installed a custom recovery like TWRP on your device. TWRP recovery is required to be able to install CM13 ROM. For help, check out page on Galaxy S3 TWRP recovery.
Step 2. Download the AOSP ROM and Gapps file from above.
Step 3. Connect your device to PC and transfer the ROM and gapps file to it. Disconnect the device then. Remember the location of the files on device.
Step 4. Boot your Galaxy S3 into recovery mode. If you are rooted, you can use Quick Boot app from play store. To manually boot into recovery mode, do this:
Power off the device. Wait for 4-5 seconds after screen goes off.
Press and hold Volume Up + Home + Power button together until you see anything on screen. Then let go of the buttons.
You will enter recovery mode soon, and should see TWRP recovery. If you see android with exclamation mark, or 3e recovery, then you need to install TWRP recovery for this.
Step 5. [Optional] Once in TWRP, create a backup of your device. Tap on Backup, and then select all the partitions for back. Now do the swipe action at bottom to start creating a backup for emergency cases. This backup is really a lifesaver!
Step 7. Now, install the ROM file. On TWRP’s homescreen, tap on Install, and then locate the ROM file and tap on it. Then do the Swipe action at bottom to begin flashing the update.
Step 8. Tap on Home button to go back. Now, install the Gapps the same way you installed Marshmallow ROM on your Galaxy S3.
Step 9. When it’s done, tap on Reboot system button to restart the device.
That’s it.

Galaxy S3 Android 5.0 Lollipop Rom Development Begins
AOSP based Android 5.0 Lollipop ROMs are making their way to several Android devices, we first covered one for the Nexus 4 and since then Android 5.0 Lollipop ROM has seen development in some of the Xperia devices and now the development has begun for the Galaxy S3 as well.
Samsung Galaxy S3 was originally launched with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and was officially supported by Samsung till Android 4.3 Jelly Bean only. The international variant of the device never saw the Android 4.4 kitkat update officially from Samsung, however, the carrier branded AT&T and Verizon variant of Galaxy S3 did receive the official KitKat update.
Samsung never officially rolled out the Android 4.4 KitKat update for Galaxy s3 so that confirms that you’ll not see any official update for Android 5.0 Lollipop for the Galaxy S3 from Samsung. Your hope for getting Lollipop on your S3 is only going to be fulfilled byt the means of AOSP based custom ROMs.
AOSP stands for Android Open Source Project where Google provides source code for latest Android versions. The source code for the Android 5.0 Lollipop was submitted to the AOSP on November 3, 2014. Independent developers uses this source code to develop custom ROMs for various devices, and thus bringing latest Android updates to devices which manufacturers stop supporting officially.
Don’t be mistaken though by the notion that manufacturers stop supporting a device because a device isn’t capable of running latest Android versions. It’s a wrong assumption for 95% cases. Device manufacturers introduces new devices every year and if they keep on supporting (read: updating) any older device, they hit sales on their newer devices. Which is a loss for the manufacturer. And also, specifically in the world of Android, these manufacturers pointlessly overburden their work by developing a custom skin over stock Android’s UI, which further hurts a device performance.

From hardware standpoint, Android 5.0 Lollipop can run just as well as Jellybean did on the Galaxy S3, and we’d even go ahead to say that any Android devices released since 2011 with 1GB RAM and a dual-core processor is capable of running Android 5.0 Lollipop smoothly. We already saw Galaxy Nexus running Android 5.0 Lollipop smoothly, and it’s even older than the Galaxy S3.
So we know that Galaxy S3 can handle Android 5.0 easily, and the development of an Android 5.0 ROM for the Galaxy S3 has also begun. However, as it’s the case with early releases, the Galaxy S3 Android 5.0 ROM too is very buggy at this time. Almost everything isn’t working on the ROM, except for the fact that it’s booting and gets you the Lollipop flavor on your good ol’ device.
The developer of the ROM is , and he has stated that the ROM will be supported by all Galaxy S3 variants that are supported by his kernel “arter97”.
As for the bugs, we hope arter97 is able to fix them himself. If not, our best bet would be CM12. CM12 isn’t officially announced yet, but it’ll be the 12th version of popular CyanogenMod ROM based on Android 5.0 Lollipop. CM too is an AOSP based ROM and has been on Android for more than 5 years now. However, it’s another thing that it’s going to take another month or two for CM12 to be released.
All that said, if you’re interested in installing the Android 5.0 Lollipop on your Galaxy S3, head over to the development page linked below. And while you’re there, be sure to say your thanks to the dev (arter97) and also support him with some donation to inspire him to get Android 5.0 Lollipop on the Galaxy S3 as quick as he can.

Xwlpm – Official Android 4.0.4 Update For Galaxy S2
Just a few days after the first Android 4.0.4 firmware leaked for the Galaxy S2, Samsung has officially released the Android 4.0.4 update for the device, for Russia, and should soon be releasing it to other regions. But for those not wanting to wait for the official update to arrive for their device or simply want to manually flash the update can do so by following the guide below. Android 4.0.4 brings improvements in stability and performance (specially in scrolling smoothness), so it’s quite an important update for the still powerful device.
This update is for Russia but can be flashed on any Galaxy S2 out there, as long as it’s the international I9100 variant. Read on to find out how you can flash it on your Galaxy S2 to update to Android 4.0.4.
Compatibility
This firmware and the guide below are compatible only and only with Galaxy S2, model number I9100. It’s not compatible with the I9100G or any other device. Check your device’s model number in: Settings » About phone.
Warning!
The methods and procedures discussed here are considered risky and you should not attempt anything if you don’t know completely what it is. If any damage occurs to your device, we won’t be held liable.
How to Install XWLPM Android 4.0.4 Firmware on Galaxy S2
Important! Don’t forget to at least make a backup of your APN settings, which you can restore later if your data connection does not work after installing the ROM. Use the backup guide to find out how.
Extract the downloaded zip file once to get a file named I9100XWLPM_I9100OXELP8_I9100XXLQ6_HOME.tar.md5 (you might see the file name end with .tar instead of .md5 as the file extension is usually hidden, so it’s normal).
Extract the contents of the Odin 1.85.zip file to a folder.
Disconnect your phone if it’s connected to PC, then switch it off.
Now, put the Galaxy S2 in Download Mode — press and hold these keys together: Volume Down + Home + Power. A Warning! screen will come up; press Volume Up key to continue to enter Download Mode.
If you don’t get this message, then probably there is a problem with drivers. Make sure you’ve proper drivers installed (check step 2). Also, uninstall Kies from the Control Panel as well (this will leave the drivers on the computer but remove Kies which can interfere with the procedure).
Important! Do not make any other changes in Odin except selecting the required files as given in step 11. Leave all other options as they are. Make sure Re-partition option is unchecked.
What to do if Odin gets stuck: If ODIN gets stuck and doesn’t seem to be doing anything, or you get a FAIL message (with red background) in ODIN, disconnect the phone from the PC, close ODIN, remove battery, re-insert it, turn phone on in Download mode again, and do the procedure again from Step 9.
[Important] After you get the PASS message and the phone reboots, the phone might get stuck at the booting animation. If that happens, perform the following steps to make it boot. Remember that these steps will wipe your personal data like contacts, apps, messages, etc. If your phone has already booted, skip these steps, your phone has been updated successfully:
Boot to recovery mode — for which, first power off phone (by removing battery and reinserting it), wait for 5-6 seconds, and then press and hold Home + Volume Up + Power keys together till the screen turns on, then let them go to boot into recovery. Once you are in recovery mode, use volume keys to move the selection up and down and home/power key to select the option.
Go to Wipe data/Factory Reset and select it. Select Yes on next screen.
Then, select reboot system now to reboot the phone, which will now boot properly.
If you run into any roadblocks while flashing the firmware, let us know and we’ll help you out.
Galaxy Note 2 Marshmallow Update: Cm13 And Other Roms
You must have seen plenty of Marshmallow update articles in recent time as regards official announcement and other unofficial ROMs, but there are still many devices awaiting Android 6.0 update. The Galaxy Note 2 is one such device, one that won’t get the Marshmallow update official from Samsung as it’s too old now for an OEM to maintain software support.
Thankfully though, you have custom ROMs like CM13 which get you taste of Marshmallow right away. Yes, you can install Android 6.0 update on your Galaxy Note 2 even though it’s not from Samsung. It’s safe and can be uninstalled easily too, just by installing Note 2 Samsung firmware back, in case you decide to go back to Lollipop.
Because CM13 is based on pure Android code, you get stock Marshmallow UI with it. This is great because stock UI is far more eye-pleasing that the TouchWiz UI, and performs way faster too.

Because of no bloatware, RAM is consumed less too. You will get more free RAM on these unofficial Marshmallow update for Note 2 than you ever got on your Samsung firmware on Note 2. Galaxy Note 2 shouldn’t have any problem running Marshmallow update as it’s power packed with good processor and cool 2GB RAM, enough to run Marshmallow easily.
The Marshmallow update brings many new features, and some great under the hood improvements that result in better stability of the device, and also increase battery life. You have a new Marshmallow feature called Doze mode, that puts the device into deep sleep at night (when not in use) to save battery by around 20% more compared to previous versions of Android. Apps that you don’t use frequently are also out into deep sleep so that they don’t consume precious RAM and battery juice.

Note 2 Marshmallow update will also get you superior app control, wherein you can keep a tab on each app’s battery usage (remove those which each more battery, thus) and data used. Another highlight feature of Note 2 Android 6.0 update is Now On Tap in Google Search app, that brings information and suggestions on whatever you’re looking at screen, simply by holding down the home button. It’s one of much-loved Marshmallow feature.
Earlier, installing an app means that you are agreed to let it use whatever parts of your phone it asked to use. Now app permission will ask for access to parts of your phone when they need it. The App Permissions will allow users to decide which permissions they want to allow or cancel.
