[As of December 26, 2013] Let’s see how to install the Android 4.4 KitKat on your Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300. Warranty may be void of your device if you follow the procedures given on this page. You only are responsible for your device. We won’t be liable if any damage occurs to your device and/or its components. To make sure your device is eligible with this, you must first confirm its model no. in ‘About device’ option under Settings. Another way to confirm model no. is by looking for it on the packaging box of your device. It must be GT-I9300! Please know that this page is meant only for Samsung Galaxy S3 international variant, model no. GT-I9300!. Please DO NOT try the procedures given here on other variants of the Galaxy S3, including those S3 sets at AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint and other variants who have different model no. You must do this pre-installation stuff before attempting to install the ROM on your Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 in order to avoid any complications later, and have a smooth and successful process. Make sure that you’ve latest version of the recovery of your choice installed on your device. Older versions of both CWM and TWRP recoveries are not working with Android 4.4 based ROMs, throwing installation errors and WiFi bugs, therefore you need to use the latest version of either recovery. ► GET TWRP RECOVERY FOR SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 ► GET CWM RECOVERY FOR SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 Back up important data and stuff before you start playing around here as there are chances you might lose your apps and app-data (app settings, game progress, etc.), and in rare case, files on the internal memory, too.

So, make sure your device is adequately charged — at least 50% battery of the device. If you haven’t used a custom recovery, either CWM or TWRP, before, to install a .zip file of a ROM on anything else, then we suggest you first watch a video of that, given right below, to get familiar with the process. So, once you are finished with video, jump to downloads and step-by-step guide below. Download the files given below and transfer them to a separate folder on your phone and remember the location.
