Install CM9/Cyanogenmod 9 on Samsung Galaxy S3

The Samsung Galaxy S3 was rooted much before its release and now one of the most famous ROMs for Android Devices CyanogenMod 9 is now available to be installed on the Samsung Galaxy S3. The Cyanogenmod 9 available right now is still only a nightly version and at the time of putting this post only the first nightly is available to be installed. It is not exactly perfect as it has minor problems such as having problems with the FM Radio and Flash in Camera. But besides that it is working well and we can expect a Stable version of CM9 for the S3 soon. To install CM9 on your S3 you will need to root your device. You may be thinking that rooting will void your warranty and won't it cause a lot of problems. You can always just unroot your phone and get back the warranty. Anyway without further delay let us get into installing CM9 on the Galaxy S3.

From the above screenshot you can see that the CM9 available is on ICS 4.0.4 is not a stable version. 


To install CM9 you will need to :

• Root the Samsung Galaxy S3. If you haven't already done it just root the galaxy s3 from the link mentioned.
• After you have done that head on down to these links and download the necessary files for this installation.
  CM9
  Google Apps
• Now after downloading the files for the setup just copy them onto your S3's internal SD card. After that reboot your device into recovery mode. To do that hold Volume Up, Home and Power Buttons simultaneously.
• Now you just navigate using the volume keys and flash the 2 .zip files you copied in step 3. After that make sure you wipe data or do a factory reset, just to prevent a minor error. Now just reboot your phone and that's it.

Now you have successfully installed CM9 on Samsung Flagship device. If you have any doubts about the installation or are experiencing any errors feel free to comment below.
