1. Flashing mean u flash (upgrade or downgrade) ur OS version. Rooting mean u become a superuser for ur phone. If u don't know what is rooting for, u should looking into the forums...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397120
2. Flash to stock rom and unroot ur phone.
3. On stock rom u can backup using KIES. Or native backup from phone. On custom rom u can used CWM to made nandroid backup. ( look into forums )
4. Yes, a risk always.. but as long u follow the step from, it won't hurt ur phone.

If you are a beginner, I suggest not to flash cm9.
Its in beta
I recommend to use stock first, root it and tweak it.

For those who haves boot problem(custom roms) ENTER if you want a solution :)

Hi guys
Firstly: special thx for (deadly46) and (devwithcookies) for helping me (I was have boot problem)
I will write this subject for those who have a problem with booting (in custom rom) like stuck in boot animation in cm roms or miui roms or any other rom
So your problem will be solved.
Firstly u should to have cwm
Secondly: download this ext4 formater ( http://www.mediafire.com/?8p6s9mlpqwowq51 )
Then flash any rom you wanna
Here's an detail steps :
1-Go into cwm recovery
2-wipe system
3-wipe chace
4-wipe dalvik chace
5-flash the ext4 formater
7-flash the rom you want
8-wipe chace
9-wipe dalvik chace
10-reboot system
11-enjoy
That's all...
Finally: special thx for (deadly46) and (devwithcookies) for helping me.
Post a reply if it works
And sorry for my bad english
If their any mistake please tell me to correct it..
Sent from my GT-S5660 using Tapatalk 2
Theres a problem in step 8.
You shouldnt wipe system after flashing, as this will undo the installation of the rom.
1 ext4 formatter(only if on RFS)
2 install
3 reboot
Should be enough.

Can I please get some help? I would really appreciate it! And I would really like to install the ROM!
Sorry if I ask too many questions...

No I'm saying that CM9 is laggy and that is where the S3 ROM is based on.
But what CPU settings are you using?
I'm using ondemand ( if it will lags alot I will change it to a faster CPU)
* I know its based on cm9 and cm roms lagy but with this rom I didn't found any lag and if my phone lag it lags a little..
But I had a problem with it and the problem is root... I don't have root
So can you help me with root ??

Which recovery do you use?
And you can try to re-flash the ROM.
And did you ever had an other ROM? And did you ever had this problem before?

First try updating to CWM 5.0.2.7
And if that fails try the original Samsung firmware for a newer baseband on your GIO and then you have to root and then you have to re-flash CWM and the S3 ROM.
Cwm version 5
when i flash it again i flash firstly the cwm5.0.2.7 then i reboot my device
then i go to recovery then i flashed the rom
but........nothing solved
your way is a little difficult but i will try it ... and i will post a reply

[Q] Custom rom is getting install when it shows installation completed in CMW

Hello all,
I have been introduce to the xda website through my cousin and i'm no crazy and very happy to get this site as i m getting to learn more new things. i bought Samsung galaxy grand, details for my handset are as follows:
Model No- GT-I9082
Android version 4.1.2
Baseband version - I9082XXAMF1
Kernel version
3.0.31-10088096
[email protected]#1
SMP PREEMPT Tue Mar 26 11:41:55 KST
2013
Build number
JZ054K.I9082XXAMCD
I rooted my handset using Odin, my handset goes in CMW but whenever i try to flash custom rom which i downloaded DEODEXED I90820XUBMF2 4.2.2 from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2196558
But whenever i try to flash (zip from external sd card-where i saved my custom rom on my sd card) the above mentioned rom in cmw, it shows rom got installed in 2 seconds (is shows installation completed) which in reality it doesn't get installed as i have seen my cousin flashing custom rom on his samsung galaxy grand, it shows all indication of custom rom getting installed through CMW. It goes same if i try to install any other custom roms which i downloaded from XDA links.
Please help me where i'm going wrong why i'm unable to flash custom roms on my handset. someone told me that i might have deleted some partition files on it that's why my custom rom flashing so quickly but not getting install. I read so many positive feedback with a resolution of everyone's problem. i hope respective admins & members will help me to solve my problem too. I really wish to install some good custom rom on my handset.
PLEASE HELP RESPECTIVE MEMBER, I'm so tired looking for solution, the only hope is here. I don't have much knowledge and need help.

Flash Stock Recovery and then perform a "Factory Reset". This needs to be done mandatory with STOCK recovery, TWRP factory reset will NOT solve your issue.
