This is for root only and is not a custom rom. I accept no responsibility if anything goes wrong. Remember to read everything. I am using this method as apposed to a one click method as it will stand you in good stead if you decide to flash a custom rom or mess things up in the future and have to flash back to stock.
THIS WILL VOID YOUR GUARANTEE
Always unmount and remove external sd card before flashing.
First make sure you can boot into recovery and download using the three button method. For recovery this is (with phone off) hold down volume up and home button (middle one at the bottom) then press and hold power button until phone boots. For download this is volume down home button then press and hold power button to exit recovery navigate to reboot now using volume up and down buttons and select with home button. To exit download just hold down power button.
Next step is to download the drivers for your phone
