Hi guys, so I can pretty much do anything, I've been rooting for a long time. So should I root now? If so, which Rom would be best? Thanks in advance
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2
Best way to find out what's the best rom is to try them out people can say one thing about a rom and you can think something else,
Root and rom away, and welcome

This.
Save yourself from any future headaches and head on over to Peoplearmy and GeeK's threads and back up your IMEI with both methods just in case.
I ran with stock rooted for a good week after getting my GS3 just to make sure there weren't any defects (since stock is the most stable).
Pardon my ignorance, I know what imei is, but if things go wrong, how will imei be involved?
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
Some people where having issues and there imei was lost, there's a tool to back it up in development section just back it up you shouldn't have issues I haven't seen people inquiring about lost imeis lately,

For some odd reason, people have been reporting that their IMEI information on the phone was wiped while flashing ROMs through recovery. That information isn't supposed to be touched, but nobody has really found out the reason why that data gets wiped during the flashing process for some users.
When this happens, the phone loses its ability to connect to your mobile network (because it has no IMEI information to present to the network), so it's essentially an iPod. Last week I randomly lost my IMEI from restoring a nandroid backup from CWM (luckily I backed up my IMEI information and was able to restore it within minutes), but I've heard people saying that it happens on TWRP as well.
I'm not saying that it will happen to you whenever you flash a new ROM, but when it comes to these things it's always better to be safe than sorry.
Also, welcome to the SGS3 forums . Leaving the childish drama behind in the Amaze forum alone was worth the upgrade for me.

Trial and error always the best course with roms. I would root mine was rooted a few hours after I pulled it out the box.

Should i update radios? Runnin liquid now, no 4g.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Do yourself a favor and if you haven't yet already learn adb and fastboot command lines there is no need for a toolkit for this phone. And to answer your radio question unlike the thunderbolt any radio combination works on any ROM you can update or change radios to see if they help you out but it shouldn't matter if you're getting 4g or not. Plus these roms never include radios..well from what I have seen all the radios can be flashed separately through the bootloader or some people have made flashable zips containing them.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
1. Get Gnex
2. Root/Unlock
3. Flash new radios
4. Flash new bootloader
5. Flash new ROM - I would vouch for Codename Android with Faux's kernel
that's my recommendation plan
Brace yourself, flash addiction is comimg.

Elnovato when you got your phone back was it the same one or a different one that was a refurbished?
I'm curious because I need to send mine in for the battery as it's mildly warped and causes the phone to reboot when jostled, but it's lame as Samsung wants me to send the whole phone in rather then just the battery. I don't want to if they give a refurbished one back.

Can't wait to get mine back from Samsung repair center to hopefully see the same update if not a newer one!.
If it comes loaded with a December 4.1.2 firmware I will be doing a system dump on it for sure!. ^_^
Oh btw how long was it until you got it back in the mail? The tech guy on the phone said I will be it back in 2 weeks tops, I hope sooner though I miss my Note II so bad!. However I'm using an S2 as a back up lol.
