How to Install Android 4 4 KitKat Based ROM on Galaxy S3 GT I9300 GT I9305 AT T Sprint T Mobile Verizon
How to Install Android 4 4 KitKat Based ROM on Galaxy S3 GT I9300 GT I9305 AT T Sprint T Mobile Verizon
Owning a Google Nexus device is a kind of guarantee that you would be one of the first to receive the latest version of Android, but if you got a phone/tablet from manufacturers like Samsung, LG, HTC, Sony, etc., you might have no choice but to wait perpetually. Even if you get a new (?) update, it�s got to be an old thing by the time it reaches you. Samsung�s treatment with its popular phones like the Galaxy S3 and Note 2 is a very relevant example of how manufacturers shirk from sending software updates to their users.
Yesterday we published an article on installing Android 4.4 KitKat based custom ROMs on the Galaxy Note 2 and many of its variants. Extending our KitKat treat, we have now come with a collection of Android 4.4 custom ROMs for the Samsung Galaxy S3. If you own any of the following variants of the device, you can update your phone with the newest sensation of Android:
- Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300
- Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE GT-I9305
- AT&T Galaxy S3 SGH-I337 (the ROMs for this model can also be installed on the Canadian variants e.g, Rogers, Bell, Telus, etc.)
- Sprint Galaxy S3 SPH-L710
- T-Mobile Galaxy S3 SGH-T999
- Verizon Galaxy S3 SCH-I535
Warning:
The procedure described below is not meant for perfect noobs as it is considered risky. Follow all instructions carefully if you do not wish to caught into a compromising situation. We would always be at our end to help you in case of a mishap but we take no responsibility. Proceed only if you agree to these terms.Prerequisites:
- A rooted Samsung Galaxy S3. If you have not rooted your phone yet, please take some time and root it using our easy rooting tutorial.
- The KitKat ROMs we are going to talk about are custom ROMs and therefore they require the presence of a custom recovery like ClockworkMod or TWRP on your device. Not only this, you must have the latest version of the recovery you use. You can download ROM Manager (CWM) or Goo Manager (TWRP) to install the latest version.

ROM Manager
Developer: ClockworkMod
Price: Free

GooManager
Developer: Snipanet Apps
Price: Free
Note:
Since Goo Manager is working properly these days, we recommend that you install CWM version 6.0.4.3 on your device. If you know how to install recovery image file using ADB command, download the latest CWM recovery .img file from here and install it. 6.0.4.3About the ROMs:
Please note that most of the ROMs that we have mentioned below are based on CM 11 and therefore have all the bugs of their parent. Being in early stage of development, it is obvious that you might encounter a few bugs in performance. Please install the appropriate ROM on your phone, test them and if you find them stable enough for you,use them. We hope that with new updates, all these ROMs will become more mature and stable.Downloads:

How To Root Verizon LG V10 VS990
How To Root Verizon LG V10 VS990

LG V10 is a phablet that comes with a dual screen setup which was released by LG last year in the month of October. V10 comes with a primary display measuring 5.7? and with a quadHD resolution and a secondary display measuring 2.1? in size and has a resolution of 160 x 1040. On the inside, the V10 is powered by a 1.82GHz hexacore Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor and 4GB of RAM. It has 64GB internal storage which can be expanded up to a further 128GB more using the microSD slot. The rear shooter has a 16MP sensor with optical image stabilization, laser autofocus, and 4K video recording while the front has a 5MP duo camera setup. The V10 runs on a 3000mAh battery.
On the software front, Lg V10 runs Android Lollipop 5.1.1 which has been customized by LG to include several useful and a few gimmicky features. The LG�s customized user interface is not appreciated by many users and it may not appeal to you as well. Moreover, there is a ton of bloatware added by both LG and your carrier(Verizon in this case).
To get rid of this annoying bloatware you can root your device and remove some unnecessary applications that are otherwise not removable. Rooting also gives you better control over your Android device. You may read the article linked below to get to know more about benefits of rooting and the risks involved with it.
Thanks to XDA developer tungkick, now Verizon users can also enjoy root on their Lg V10. Just follow the guide given below to get root access on your device.
Read � Rooting Android: Why you Should and Why not
Warning: Rooting your Android device will void your manufacturer warranty, so proceed at your own risk. Also taking backup of your data before proceeding with the guide is recommended.
Things You Will Need
- Lg V10 (VS990) and a PC
- VS990 Root.zip| Link
Steps To Follow
Step 1. Download the VS990 Root.zip file from the link given above and extract the file using any unzipping tool you have on your PC.Step 2. You will find LG drivers on extracting the zip file in above step. Install on them on your PC, just like any other software.
Step 3. Now extract the .rar file again using any file unzipping tool you have on your PC. On extracting the .rar file you will get the .tot file needed for rooting your LG V10.
Step 4. Now we will install LGUP, a software used to install firmware on your Lg V10. To do so, extract the lgupnew.zip.This will give you two files LGUP_Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3.msi and LGUP_8994_DLL_Ver_0_0_1_18.msi.
Step 5. Run LGUP_Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3.msi file first and then run LGUP_8994_DLL_Ver_0_0_1_18.msi. This will install the LGUP software on your PC.
Step 6. Now you will have to copy the �common� folder that should be present in the zip file you extracted in Step 1 and move it to this location �C:Program Files (x86)LG ElectronicsLGUPmodel�.
Step 7. Now move to your phone and enable USB Debugging. To do so first enable Developer Options by going into Settings> About Phone and then tapping Build Number multiple times. Once your phone shows a toast message that �You are now a Developer!� you have successfully enabled Developer Options.
Step 8. Now open the Developer Options and enable the option that says USB Debugging. Now plug in your phone to your PC using a USB cable.
Step 9. Run the LGUP software using Start menu of your Windows.
Step 10. Select your phone. Then select UPGRADE option otherwise, your data would be wiped. For the �BIN File� select the �rootedsystemvs.tot� file you extracted in step 3. Finally, click Start.
Step 11. Reboot your device and update the SuperSU application and then reboot your device again.

How to Unlock Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Bootloader
How to Unlock Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Bootloader

Carrier locked devices are very tough shells to crack and thus many carrier locked devices won�t have a bootloader unlock method. The Verizon Galaxy Note 4 also comes under the same category where the bootloader was not unlockable. Lucky for Verizon Galaxy Note 4 users, the bootloader unlock method is now available for the device. So, you can now install and use custom recoveries like TWRP and use it to flash awesome custom ROMs and mods. The credit goes to ryanbg of XDA for sharing this useful method
Many users in the XDA developer forum have confirmed the exploit working and they were able to unlock the bootloader.
