CM10 Install on SGS 3: Part 3

After re-doing the ODIN for the stock ROM, I was ready to hit the ground running with installing CM10.  I installed ClockWorkMod, and then added the recovery for the SGS III on my phone.  

Next I downloaded the newest CM10 nightly 11/06 and the Google Apps which I think is 20121001 or something close to that. I was thinking of getting the 4.2 Google Apps, and I still might but for now I will stick with the 4.1.2 Google App.

After they all downloaded, I rebooted my phone into recovery, I did a factory reset.  Next I flashed the CM10 rom, and the Google Apps and the rebooted my phone.

The whole flash, reboot and setup process took about 5-10 minutes and from there I was up and running with CM10 on my phone.

I now have CM10 or a variant of it running on my Captivate, Kindle Fire, and Galaxy S3.  Overall I think they process to get CM10 has been made easier then when I first started using CM7.  

CM10 Part 2 - Read the instructions

Well I should have read the instruction all the way through before starting this, but really who does that?  I used ODIN updated to the injected root rom, but then I let the OTA install which removed root.

Back at square one, and this was last night at midnight, so I had to wait till I got home from work and re-run ODIN to install the injected root rom.  15 minutes later I am back and running, and this time I make sure not to install the OTA.

So lesson learned here, read the instructions before following through with an install.  Next up is taking it from here to CM10 with Google Apps.
