Your Galaxy S3 I9300 is complete with the Revolution HD Jelly Bean 4.2.2 custom ROM tool that we recommended. But why did we tell you to create a NANDroid backup, too?

Because you may not enjoy the firmware you just got for your Samsung phone. This backup will help you restore the handset to its old ROM. And it will do this if you follow these steps: reboot the device into the Recovery Mode. Then select your ROM and it shall be restored.

If the I9300 remains stuck in boot loops, you should choose, from the Recovery Mode’s menu, Factory Reset/Wipe Data followed by the selection of Wipe Cache Partition.
