Should you be done with our pre-requisites, the next thing to consider: the update steps. All of them are lined up in the next couple of paragraphs.
- If the file we told you to download on your notebook is saved on its desktop, you can begin the tutorial by plugging the phone to your laptop; after the connection has been made, it’s time for this task: move the files from the handset to your other device and, as soon as the transfer is done, be sure to disconnect the Galaxy S3 from your notebook.
- Enter it in Recovery Mode next by doing as follows: hold Volume Up and Home while you power your handset on. When the appropriate mode has been reached, you should choose Install zip from SD card.
- After that, opt for the update file to be flashed on your phone, then do the same actions to install the Gapps package.
- If you are done with the above, you should opt for Go Back. Then restart the phone by choosing Reboot System Now and wait for the device to restart.
