The Gummy Custom ROM

It doesn’t look like Samsung is going to release an official update to Android 4.4.2 KitKAt for the AT&T Galaxy S3. However, if you have this device, you can still get a taste of KitKat by installing a custom ROM.

A good custom ROM to use is Android 4.4.2 Gummy. This ROM is based on AOSP and includes hardware key mods, new wallpapers, a status bar mode and also a few performance control options.

In this guide, we are going to show you how you can update an AT&T Galaxy S3 SGH-I747 using Gummy ROM.

Prepare your phone:

Make sure you have a AT&T Galaxy S3 SGH-I747.
Make sure that your AT&T Galaxy S3 SGH-I747 is rooted and has the latest custom recovery installed.
Have a well-charged battery, around 85 percent or more.
Have a back up of all your important contacts, messages and call logs.
Enable phone’s USB debugging mode.
Back up your EFS data.

Note: The methods needed to flash custom recoveries, roms and to root your phone can result in bricking your device. Rooting your device will also void the warranty and it will no longer be eligible for free device services from manufacturers or warranty providers. Be responsible and keep these in mind before you decide to proceed on your own responsibility. In case a mishap occurs, we or the device manufacturers should never be held responsible.
