How to root & install CWM Recovery on the Samsung Galaxy S III – GT-i9300 – SGS3

Here is the video:

CF root XDA thread
Unboxing, initial impressions & pictures

After rooting my device, being on LE8, the LF2 update came out.
I thus decided to upgrade via KIES, whilst being rooted.
Upon upgrading via Kies, to LF2, where my S3 successfully, whilst being rooted with CF root, lost root, after upgrading officially with Kies.
I thus was on LF2, officially via Kies, but had no more root.

I went ahead, after losing root on the LF2 upgrade, and regained root, via the same method.
I just thought I should mention this for people wondering about losing root after upgrading via Kies.

Hope you enjoyed the guide!

Nokia Lumia 800 vs Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 – Camera

Some pictures and a video comparison I took of both!

The pictures, should show a nice comparison between the 8MP (Lumia) and 5MP (SGS) camera on both devices! Click on the pictures to make them larger, alternatively, I would suggest tabbing both, and then comparing between the two.

Obviously the Lumia’s camera should be better, and indeed it is, as it has a 8 Megapixel camera with a F number/aperture of 2.2 vs the SGS i9000’s 5 Megapixel camera with a F number/aperture of 2.6 – You will also be able to see that the Nokia’s lens is a little wider, especially with the Chimp comparison.

It has to be noted however, that the Lumia’s camera isn’t really consistent – if you look at the 3 photos of the Chimp on the table (at the very end) – they tend to vary in colour, and focus! When Looking at the cars on the street comparison – you will be able to see that the Lumia didn’t focus well on any of the objects, whereas with the SGS, I had no problems.

 

And here is my video comparison (recorded both at 720p) – they do both look a little grainy – that might have been due to the rendering – but regardless, you should still be able to see the quality difference!

Hope this helped and showed you a good comparison!

How to flash STOCK Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 firmware

Sammobile’s site

Direct JVT download!

Latest one as you saw was JVT:

-PDA: XXJVT
-PHONE: XXJVT
-CSC: XAJVT

Just a tip:
If your KIES does NOT pick up the phone – then it’s probably down to the CSC – the country code.
Here is an old post/video on how to do that! (same principal applies)

I hope this helps!
