That he Samsung Galaxy S3 it is an excellent terminal, capable of moving freely and efficiently the new version of Android Lollipop It is a true reality even though it is despite Samsung's friends who are determined that we change terminals every year.
In this new post by way of step by step tutorial, I'm going to show you the right way to update Samsung Galaxy S3 to Android Lollipop via an unofficial Rom based on C Or what is the same CM12.
Before we get into trouble and explain the correct way to update Samsung Galaxy S3 to Android Lollipop using CM12, I must tell you that even though it is still in a beta version, beta 6 to be more correct. Everything works perfectly and is totally valid for a normal daily use.
Requirements to meet to update the Samsung Galaxy S3 to Android Lollipop using CM12
- Having a Samsung Galaxy S3, model law which must also be Rooted and in possession of the modified Recovery.
- Have the Recovery modified updated to its latest version available.
- Have a backup, nandroid backup of the entire current operating system.
- Having an backup EFS folder.
- It is recommended to make a backup of all applications and data since in the update process we are going to lose them.
- USB debugging enabled from developer settings.
- Battery charged 100 x 100.
Files Needed to Update Samsung Galaxy S3 to Android Lollipop Using CM12
- CM12 Beta 6 Rom for the Samsung Galaxy S3 Int model.
- Gap Android 5.0 Lollipop.
- Updated SuperSU for Lollipop.
Once the three compressed files in zip format have been downloaded, Without decompressing we copy them to the root of the internal memory of the Samsung Galaxy S3 and we restart in Recovery mode to follow the instructions for flashing the Rom without skipping any of the steps that I indicate below.
Rom CM12 flashing method for Samsung Galaxy S3
- We go to the option Wipe of the Recovery that we have installed and select Wipe data factory reset, wipe dalvik cache y Wipe cache partition.
- Now we go to the option format and we format: system, cache, preload, data and data / media. These options in TWRP are found within Advanced Wipe.
- Now we go to the option install and first we flash the Rom CM12, second the Gapps Android Lollipop to finally update the SupoerSU.
- Finally we restart the new flashed operating system using the option Reboot system now.
Now we will only have to wait patiently for the nearly 10 minutes that it may take after the first reboot of the system. When it finally starts, we will have the latest version of Android Lollipop 5.0 correctly installed and functional in our Samsung Galaxy S3, all this easy and no matter how much Samsung.
Those of Samsung are unpresentable.
But most of the blame is on consumers for continuing to be stupid who buy a product from a brand that disrespects them.
Distinguished, I agree with you. You have just told a great truth.

Yes, starting with an operating system that is a spy tool controlled by the spy agency in history, Google.
Hopefully we will see Fairphones with Ubuntu soon, but in the meantime, I'm very afraid that we have few alternatives ...: - /
How to update the Samsung s3 mini
Sorry is this only for the S3 or can it also be done with the S3 mini? Thanks
Only for the S3 international model.
Could you please comment on the bugs that this Rom has? Thanks.
I also want to know the bugs it has ...
I just installed the room and the truth is that I do not find many faults.
HOW DO I KNOW IF MY S3 IS INTERNATIONAL? AND WHAT RECOVERY DO YOU RECOMMEND ME?
By model, the international is GT-I9300. And in terms of recovery, I have always liked the PhilZ Touch.
Hello, I installed it and I have used it for about 8 days, but I have had some errors that have made me decide to return to the official rom.
Friend, what is not working for you?
My TELCEL case can be used by any operator
I have been left without being able to record videos on instagram, someone can give me a hand
Hello. The international version refers to it being released for any company, right? I have the GT i9300 with Telcel (Mexico). Or if I can make the switch to Lollipop? Thanks.
Hola!
A couple of days ago I installed the rom on an S3 and at the moment I have found the following Bugs:
-When you put it on charge with the terminal stopped, it turns on by itself, if you turn it off with the charger connected it turns on too.
-The camera app comes with just a few options, I'm using a more complete app and it works without problems.
-85% of the menu is in Spanish, the rest in English, but the most necessary is Spanish, and generally the rest is well understood.
At the moment nothing else, there are no important crashes, the terminal is fluid.
I have read in a forum that Cyanogenmod stops supporting SAMSUNG terminals, does anyone know about this?
Greetings.
Hi, I don't have the gapps, please someone help me, thank you!
What you should do is go to "https://basketbuild.com/gapps" and download the file "gapps-lp-20150222-signed.zip" corresponding to Lollipop 5.0.
I do not know the reason why the version of GApps that they link in the article does not work, the same thing happened to me and I could solve it this way.

Good evening.- I need to know what benefits my S3 can bring me, the change of OS, I have installed the cyanogenmod 11, and it kind of warms me more, I had to put a radio (spirit) that goes into reverberation after answer a call .- sometimes I am called when I use the camera, I recognize that it is faster
