Download & Install Android 4.1 Jelly Bean ROM for Samsung Galaxy S3

Want to try the latest and greatest Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on Samsung Galaxy S III? You are in luck today. XDA Developer, Faryaab created an Android 4.1 Jelly Bean ROM for Samsung Galaxy S3 from Galaxy Nexus Jelly Bean OTA. And it is using modified CM9 Kernel. One thing to take note. This is a very early build. So far on the first version that I tried. These functions are working ~ ADB, touchscreen, hardware acceleration, notification LED, cellular radio (but no audio so no calls), physical buttons, SMS, accelerometer and charging. There rest of the stuffs is not working like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, audio, camera, MTP, storage… Anyway, you can give it a try and have a feel of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on Samsung Galaxy S3. Note – don’t try it with external SD card plug in. Else it will be corrupted.

As expected, this build is just for fun. Because you can’t use it as daily ROM. But rest assures that a stable Android 4.1 Jelly Bean ROM will be available for Samsung Galaxy S3 sooner or later. Check out XDA website for more information.

  1. Hi there!

    Just wanted to install Jelly Bean on my i9300 using the CWM method but really confused as to which version to install??? Just came across a version at XDA :

    I9300XXDLI8
    Base Firmware: I9300XXDLI8 (4.1.1)
    Region Europe
    Country: United Kingdom
    Carrier: Unbranded
    Build Date: 15 September 2012
    Modem: XXDLI8
    CSC: OXADLI8
    Change List: 178140

    Is this the one u recommend or the one u have provided the link for:

    Android-4.1-JellyBean-GNex-OTA-Port.zip

    The one u have provided is 217 MB and the other one is about over 800 MB….

    Plz let me know the difference and recommend which one to install using CWM…
