MJB bootload How to tell if a rom is safe

frankslan · Apr 14, 2014

SO I just got a s3 MJB bootloader I've been doing research and it seems like with this bootloader you can brick your phone if you install ROMs that mess with the bootloader. I was just wondering how you can tell if a rom going to flash a new bootloader?

By reading the description? If you're flashing a TouchWiz based ROM that is on 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, you can flash that only if you're NOT on the MJB bootloader. If you're on the MJB bootloader, you can only flash 4.3 TouchWiz based ROMs.

AOSP does not matter, at least to my understanding. You will more than likely need to upgrade CWM or TWRP if you plan on flashing AOSP KitKat ROMs. If you don't, you'll get an error when flashing that can only be resolved on the latest versions or CWM or TWRP.
