[GUIDE][All-In-One][Step-By-Step]Root, Recoveries, ROMs, Kernels, Kexec and Dual Boot

If you flash any of the current rooted images via odin you will revert back to VRLF2, but that shouldnt be any real issue.
I tried that and it says it can't do that to a .torrent file idk, it's a little frustrating lol

That is the file to download the ROM. You need a torrent client such as uTorrent. Open the .torrent file with the client and wait for the 1.5gig ROM.

Couldnt get the custom kernel and recovery to stick. I used ez recovery app to flash cwm touch. Put zip file and kernel on root of external sd card. Changed name of kernel to boot.img using root explorer.....also tried just changing it to boot. Booted into recovery. Flashed the zip. Didnt Work. Any help would be appreciated.
Try manually pushing it.
Dowmload and install terminal
Type these in. Be sure to change the name to boot.img. to get imto the kernel, you have to rebooting using the recovery method.
su
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 bs=256k
reboot recovery

Can't Access External SD in CWM Recovery
I feel a bit foolish here, assume I am missing the obvious. Coming from an E4GT. I have the latest CWM (tried both standard and touch, touch currently flashed) but cannot install a zip file from my external SD card - I can only browse the folders on the device storage. I've tried mounting ext_sdcard, which appears to complete successfully, but no joy when looking to flash a zip from sdcard. Also looks like my backups in CWM are going to local storage, which isn't preferable. Many thanks if anyone can set me straight here!
UPDATE: Resolved: If you have this problem you probably flashed recovery from ROM Manager (my first time to do this). Use the EZ Flash instead - CWM through ROM Manager may not see external SD card files (you may still need them to be root if you have problems).

Another success!
Much thanks to everyone! Just rooted my Verizon GS3. Everything works, Root66 is awesome! :good:

So the root method described here should work? I will just go back to the previous version? My phone came with VRLG1 already loaded.
Wanted to check in and see if this thread could come back to life discussing dual boot.
Before flashing a new custom touchwiz 4.1 I tried running the new nightly's for CM10.1. I liked it but wasn't ready to live in it full time.
Then I remembered seeing the dual booting stuff discussed back in the Summer.
Anyone updated this stuff to work with current recoveries and kernals? I'd love to try the dual booting stuff.
Thanks in advance!

Getting a Custom Recovery:
Method 1:
1. Download the ROM Manager App: HERE
2. Flash CWM Recovery as the Verizon Galaxy S3.
Method 2:

1. Download a ROM of your choice and place it on your SD Card.
2. Reboot Recovery (from Rom Manager or *vol up + home + pwr*)
3. Make a backup
4. Do a factory reset, wipe cache + dalvik.
5. Flash the ROM zip.
6. Reboot once finished.
Getting a Custom Kernel: (This will replace your custom recovery)
You could always go back to your custom recovery by reflashing it in the method above.
FLASHING A KERNEL IS THE SAME PROCESS OF FLASHING A CUSTOM RECOVERY.
Method 1:
- [KERNEL] invisiblek v2 - i535 (direct download - kernel-invisiblek-v2-3.0.8-i585.img)
- [KERNEL][STOCK][BETA] b00sted-v001 (2012.7.14) ( 2 types of kernel, one for Stock, and another for CM9 )
1. Place the .img to your SD Card.
2. Open terminal and type in these lines: (be sure to change the below)
Code:$ su # dd if=/sdcard/.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 # reboot recovery
Method 2:
Using mmmeff's VZW GS3 EZ-Recovery ~ multi-recovery flashing app
*****The kernel replaces your Custom Recovery.
To boot into the kernel, you'd have to boot into the recovery partition, which is:
1. adb reboot recovery
or
2. (vol up + home + pwr) when the phone is off.*****
If you flash your custom recovery back, the kernel will no longer be in place.
So you can either have a kernal or a custom recovery.
Method 3: (Kexec: Custom Recovery + Custom Kernel)
To boot into the custom kernel, you'll have to flash the boot_emmc/sdcard_boot.img.zip from the recovery. If not, youll boot into the stock kernel.
- [KERNEL] invisiblek v2 - i535 (direct download - kernel-invisiblek-v2-3.0.8-i585.img)
- [KERNEL][STOCK][BETA] b00sted-v001 (2012.7.14)
1. Download and install mmmeff's EZ-Recovery for VZW Galaxy S3.
2. Launch the app, and flash the "CWM Touch" Recovery. ( IT HAS TO BE CWM TOUCH)
3. Now this is when you decide if you want to have the zips, and kernel on your Internal SD or EXT SD.
4. You now have a custom recovery and custom kernel running simultaneously.

Flash the stock rom with kernel. The thread that contains them is linked in the op.

Flash stock files in op is the normal method.
Not personally tried it
Thanks for the collection and the easy instructions.

The Wi-Fi hash instructions are in that thread.
If you use the EZ recovery, you do not have to add the recoveries to your phone, they are included in the app.
