Samsung Galaxy S3, Update to Android 4.4.2 via Cyanogenmod 11

Here I bring you the latest version of for our Samsung Galaxy S3, just published three days ago and with a lot of improvements and a functionality and stability worth mentioning.

C offers us an update to A without having to depend on the obnoxious official updates of Samsung that either take a long time to arrive or simply never arrive for a good number of Android terminals.

In this latest version of C we can find changes as important as the inclusion of the improvement to receive the updates available in a way incremental. This means that when we receive the notification of a new version available, we will not have to download the rom in its entirety again, if not that with only one file with the improvements implemented it will be more than enough.

Rom installation method

Samsung Galaxy S3, Update to Android 4.4.2 via Cyanogenmod 11

If we come from another version of CM11 just by flashing by doing a wipe dalvik cache y Wipe cache partition we will have more than enough to install this sensational Rom with Android 4.4.2. If we come from another version of Android or a Rom Stock it will be necessary that you also do a complete Wipe following the instructions that I attach here.

Logically, for everyone who has their Samsung Galaxy S3 as it came from the factory, it is imperative that you follow the tutorials on how to install the modified Recovery and root to the device before proceeding with the installation of this Rom.

Samsung Galaxy S3, Update to Android 4.4.2 via Cyanogenmod 11

This tutorial and the ones I link here are only valid for the Samsung Galaxy S3 international model, that is, GT-I9300.

  • We download the Rom from this link and copy it to the SD card
  • We download the Gapps from this link and copy the Zip to the SD card
  • We reboot in Recovery Mode
  • Wipe data factory reset
  • Wipe cache partition
  • Advanced / wipe dalvik cache
  • Mounts and storage and we format data, cache and system
  • Install zip from sdcard
  • choose zip
  • We select the zip of the Rom and confirm its installation
  • We select the zip of the Gapps and confirm its installation
  • Reboot system now

With this you can now enjoy this latest version of A through Cyanogenmnod 11 and its new concept of incremental updates.

    Very good First of all, thanks for the great job you do !! Now a question, if I install this ROM, do I lose the characteristics of the Galaxy S3? Such as NFC, that the screen does not turn off if you are looking at it, multi-window, etc. etc.

    Thanks again!

    1.    Juan said

      Hello, there is no doubt that Cianogenmod is one of the best roms I have seen, in terms of losing features such as NFC nothing happens, since this is at the Hardware level, your device like mine has this feature and Cianogenmod What it does is handle this hardware with its respective driver so to speak, something that I did notice with the latest update and with several versions of Cianogenmod is that my device lost the sound quality that comes out of the speaker, somehow the quality of The sound that comes out of this is not as good as with the samsumg stock rom, for this reason I was unfortunately forced to leave the cell phone as factory, maybe you can try the rom and comment on how it went with it and if it happens to you the same as me. Greetings

        Do you know how to get photos to be saved on the external card by default?

        1.    ikerg said

          The CM11 rom is still in the development phase ... it has not reached a good enough maturity to qualify it as stable.
          CM publishes a minor update daily, the so-called nightlies, correcting small or major bugs that are seen as more users try them and comment on their experiences in CM's public forums.
          The saving in the external sd from the camera does not seem to work yet, they will implement it any day of these.
          Small bugs have been published with the camera (the autofocus does not work well, the video often crashes the application), the audio seems to be working on it, but in general people keep updating, because in terms of performance (speed) and efficiency (battery life) is super happy. Cheer up and comment on your experience. I left the stock rom with 4.1.2 (CM10.1) and I won't go back to a samsung rom even if it pays me

          1.    Juan said

            Have you noticed the poor quality of the sound? At the time I dealt with several Cm roms and the ones I tried had this defect, how are you doing with the sound of this Rom? Do you notice any difference or is it practically the same from the Samsung stock Rom?

            1.    oskar said

              In this version I improve a lot, it is missing in the speaker but in the earphone it works quite well

  2.   Rudolph Jimenez Medina said

    Hello! Installing this ROM will remove me from the risk of the dreaded sudden death? !! D:

  3.   Rudolph Jimenez Medina said

    Well, since I am a bit new, the doubt has arisen; If I update to this ROM, what method will I follow next to proceed to root my S3?

  4.   eeeeee said

    Set since yesterday .. Fluid, the battery drains slowly ... Excellent, good rom!

  5.   zaslie said

    I have followed the steps as they appear on the screen and now the Samsung does not turn on, it does not come out of the recovery mode. any solution? Thank you

    1.    alex cea said

      Zaslie, the same thing happened to me. I followed the instructions step by step, but now the phone does not turn on. It stays in RECOVERY MODE. To do? SOS.

      1.    cl said

        The same thing happened to me ... my cell phone doesn't work ... if you found an answer please help me ... = (

    2.    Patrick said

      You have to enter DOWNLOAD mode and reinstall the original OS to avoid problems. For this, you need the ODIN program in version 1.85 onwards (for stability) and download the OFFICIAL ROM from Sammobile. For more help consult my email bushinryu2012@gmail.com and I'll see if I can upload the programs and data necessary to reinstall the Android and can "revive" your mobile. As long as you have the initial BOOT from Samsung there is a solution.

  6.   cl said

    Like my Samsung does not turn on, I get an error when trying to install the room, and it stays with the recovery mode screen ... Ayudaaaaaaaaaaaa

    1.    Jhonathan said

      The problem is that the cwm is version 5 it must be a more advanced one, I used this and that's it CMW Recovery 6.0.4.4. You search for it by google and you flash it the same by recovery

  7.   bagvs said

    because it restarts only several times a day, what can I do?

  8.   ice said

    You are leaving me many doubts with the comments, so I will wait a bit before trying this Rom

  9.   Flash of lightning said

    Many errors, it goes very slow. The battery drains very fast. Fatal. I advise not to update.

  10.   Alexis Vasquez said

    wow I really regretted installing it, I'll wait for a better stable version to come out, bugs in almost all apps with Instagram, Vine, etc, but well, it's not that bad, but I don't recommend installing it.

  11.   virluc said

    Good thing that I read the comments in time, the truth is that I am quite new in this and it was going to be my first installed rom, but I better wait for myself

  12.   pakoo said

    How does it pull ?? I have the official 4.3 but d tqilandio by k according to the one of Mexico it had errors. And it does not surprise me for so much hoax k puts telcel on it .. but then I also like to have the new thing lol a friend told me his s3 with 4.4 goes great ..

    1.    christian said

      You have to configure many things, and it has some bugs such as that the internal memory is not visible sometimes when you connect it to the pc

  13.   christian said

    Hello, I followed the steps in the post, I installed the kitkat but I have 2 problems:
    1. only wifi works for me, my cell phone data plan does not recognize me. I have verified that the option
    Data Usage - Mobile data is active.
    2. The audio is lost at times, I can not even answer the calls because the other person is not heard, nor the music.
    help!!!!

    1.    Roberto said

      Have you already checked the APN?

      1.    christian said

        No, can you tell me how to do it?

        1.    christian said

          Hello Roberto again, I configured the APN because I did not have one. And now I have a mobile data plan. Thanks!
          I have one more problem, do you know what it will be about the audio that sometimes comes and goes?

  14.   69 bert said

    it goes well and very light more than android 4.3 which was very slow

  15.   George6184 said

    I installed it today and the truth leaves much to be desired, you cannot see the contacts of the sim, just import them or copy phone numbers, apart from the fact that the photos you take cannot be saved in the sd, apart from the fact that the battery lasts only 6 hours and the mobile I bought it a month ago better do not install it yet until there is a more stable version

  16.   christian said

    Once I followed the tutorial I connected it to my LAPTOP. I can't get into the internal memory of the S3. Although the usb icon appears in the lower right (which strangely says that a google galaxy nexus is connected)
    Someone else can't get into the memory by connecting it to the pc?
    One more piece of information: when I connect it to my work pc if I can enter the phone memory, but from my laptop I cannot

    1.    Francisco Ruiz said

      Try reinstalling the drivers

  17.   Alejandro said

    I installed it and it works well for me, I have not noticed any problem even with any application and it goes much faster. One of the problems that I have noticed is that I reset the contacts and suddenly it deletes them and I have to reset them again from the computer.

    On the other hand, it also takes up a lot of space in the phone memory, did anyone else notice this problem? Maybe it's something I did wrong during the installation.

    The Gapps link was damaged. Can you download from somewhere else
    ?

  22.   carlos rodriguez said

    The sound of CyanogenMod 11 per headphone is terrible with stock jelly bean I could listen to music with my sennheiser headphones and I had nothing to envy an ipod but after I installed this rom the sound quality went to earth 🙁 the bass is drowned out and the Music distorts a lot, CyanogenMod 11 is missing a lot to fix and if with the stable version it becomes like that I will go to jelly bean again and I will forget about CyanogenMod forever

  23.   Juan Jose Perez said

    Greetings. I updated my S3 mini to version 4.4.2. following the instructions and everything works great. But my phone has been turned off a couple of times and I don't know how to avoid this problem

  24.   agussssss said

    I update it perfectly .. but I do not have the mobile data nor do I have the APN option to configure it .. Can someone help me please? From already thank you very much

    1.    Francisco Ruiz said

      Within wireless connections and networks / mobile networks / APN you can configure a new APN by creating it yourself with the data of your operator.

      Greetings friend.

    Hello, I've been using this room for a day, I only saw two bugs about the data plan that I read above that configuring the apn fixes that I have no idea because I asked for a password and the second error is that when the battery reaches 12% it specifically begins the cell phone to lag the rest ok
