I rooted the day after I got my SGSIII and unlocked the bootloader today. I'm now running a CM10 build and am thrilled to have an AOSP-like experience.

We have an unlocked bootloader! Where are the dedicated ROM flashers out there? Speak up!

Edit: Here's a link to the official CM10 nightlies for the Verizon SGSIII. Download the file for d2vzw for the Verizon SGSIII. Works ONLY with the unlocked bootloader.

Be sure to flash a gapps package as the proprietary Google apps are not included in CM. If you are looking to flash this, then you device has should already been rooted and unlocked so the usual warnings apply. Flash at your own risk as bad things may happen and there is a risk of breaking your phone.

If you need step-by-step instructions, take a look at the detailed OP in this thread: http://forums.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?p=2085626

Re: ROMs Galore?

I am still waiting for a few more days, at least until I can't stand it anymore. Pretty happy with my set up at just a root and unlock one push away.

I may later today ,cant make my mind on which one. Hows CM10 on the s3 ? I think thats the one you flashed wasnt it ?

I flashed an unofficial CM10 last night. Running well so far and as expected not everything works or is finished. So far, I've noticed that the LTE toggle doesn't work and the custom auto-brightness settings haven't been implemented. It runs smoothly and the stuff I care most about works so I'm going to stick with it. I'm really glad to be free of the cartoonish TouchWiz icons and to be running Jelly Bean.

What else are you thinking of flashing?

Did people really wait for an unlocked bootloader to flash? We've had AOSP/CM9 and even CM10 for a while now.

I wouldn't blame them. Root doesn't matter, but being able to flash unsigned images, kernels, and getting serious development does.

That being said, if I owned such a demonic device I would have rooted and flashed instantaneously, for TouchWiz is a horrifying piece of software.

I rooted my SGSIII right away but got busy and didn't follow the work with the kexec approach for the locked bootloader. Plus, I had my Nexus 7 distracting me. :)
