The Samsung Galaxy S GT I9000 handset can be updated with a new custom ROM. This time I will show you how to install the version 7.3 of the Amestris ROM into your phone’s system. The firmware will be bringing numerous features so that you will be able to change the looks of your device and also improve its capabilities. Also, this version is including bug fixes for resolving the issues reported by users who experienced the previous variants of the same ROM, this being the most stable software released so far.
Be aware that dealing with a custom ROM you will void the Samsung warranty. Be careful in what you do and follow this step by step guide for avoiding the unpleasant situations. Also, this is not an official update released by Samsung and has nothing to do with the already mentioned company; all you do, you do it by your own risk.
Now, as any ROMs available out there, the Amestris features its own software, meaning that it will bring specific features and capabilities for your Galaxy S GT. There will be added many tools which will power up the performances, so your phone will gain speed, the appearances will be improved, the battery life will get better and the OS will be opened for optimization and customization operations.
The Amestris ROM is being based on the official JW1 Samsung firmware so I don’t recommend you to apply this update if your S GT I9000 is running anything else different of the JW1 software. The OS upgrade will bring the Orange Magic experience to your device, a Lcdshot with the firmware running on a Galaxy S phone being illustrated below.

For being able to apply the update you must perform a full wipe. So, take your phone and reboot it by entering in recovery mode. The recovery mode menu can be reached by holding the Volume Up and the Home key buttons simultaneously while powering on the phone. From the menu that opens choose to wipe the data and cache stored on your smartphone.
A full wipe means that you will lose all of your personal info. That’s why you need to do a backup as well. In this way you can save the contacts, messages, apps and any other data stored on your Galaxy S. Just read our previous step by step guides:
There are also other things that must be prepared. You must charge the battery for making sure that the phone will not turn off when updating its OS. Then, deactivate the antivirus programs installed on the handset or on the computer you will use. Finally, you must have a rooted Galaxy S GT I9000 or else you can’t update it with the Orange Amestris v7.3 Custom ROM firmware.
Now, after completing the up mentioned tasks, you can take a look below where you have the proper tutorial explained and detailed so everyone can understand what to do. Do everything as in the steps.

How to update the Galaxy S GT I9000 with Orange Amestris v7.3 Custom ROM Firmware

  2. Then connect the phone to the PC; use the USB cord for this.
  3. Now, copy the file downloaded in step 1 from the computer to the phone’s SD card.
  4. Disconnect the smartphone (remove the USB cable).
  5. Turn it off.
  6. Reboot by entering in recovery mode. This can be achieved by following the directions from above.
  7. Remember to perform a full wipe.
  8. Then, on the recovery mode menu select “install zip from sd card” and “choose zip from sd card” for being able to pick the ROM package placed on the SD card (see step 3).
  9. The installation procedure should take a couple of minutes; just relax until it’s done.
  10. Finally, when ended, you will be back on the recovery mode menu. Select “reboot system now”.
If you experience force close errors you should perform a wipe again. In the recovery menu choose the “Wipe data/factory reset” and “Wipe Cache partition” options and then “reboot system now”.

      How to install and boot CWM or TWRP Recoveries for rooted T Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4

      Samsung Galaxy S4 T-Mobile variant has been rooted, but the root didn’t install any custom Recovery image. That is why I’ve created this post, use it to learn how to successfully flash the CWM or TWRP Recovery using two different apps from Google Play Store.
      A custom Recovery will help you flash custom ROMs, themes, kernels and any other files that you can use to customize the UI and the functions of your operating system. Usually, you would have to use ODIN to push such recovery files. However, since this tutorial is destined for rooted T-Mobile Galaxy S4, then you can easily flash the recovery files using an app from Google Play Store.
      Besides the custom ROM installation capabilities, a custom Recovery features also support for wiping data/ factory resetting the device or creating and restoring NANDROID backups of installed ROMs.
      This post contains instructions on how you can install one of the following custom recoveries: CWM by ClockworkMod or TWRP by Team Win Project. CWM Recovery requires you to use the hardware buttons of your phone to interact, while the TWRP one is touch-based. Both will be doing what they’re built to do and help you flash custom ROMs and such.

      How to install CWM Recovery for T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 using ROM Manager from Google Play Store:

      1. Go to ROM Manager’s Play Store link here.
      2. Download and install the app onto your Galaxy S4.
      3. After the installation is complete, launch ROM Manager.
      4. Next, tap on ‘Recovery Setup’.
      5. Now tap on the ‘ClockworkMod Recovery’ text listed under Install or Update Recovery section.
      6. Confirm your phone model, T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 M919.
      7. Select whether or not you wish to use the Touch CWM Recovery or install the classic variant.
      8. Click on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery and the phone will start downloading the required files. NOTE: It would be best for you to use a WiFi connection.
      9. CWM Recovery will start flashing its files after the download is complete.
      10. That’s it, wait for the CWM Recovery to install.
      These were all the steps that you had to take in order to flash the CWM Recovery using ROM Manager for the T-Mobile variant of Galaxy S4.
      If you want to use the TWRP variant, then you will have to follow the instructions listed in the tutorial below.

      How to install TWRP Recovery for T-Mobile Galaxy S4 using GooManager from Google Play Store:

      1.  Go to GooManager’s Play Store dedicated web page here.
      2. Download and install the app on your TMO SGS4.
      3. Launch GooManager application on your device.
      4. Press the Galaxy S4 ‘Menu’ capacitive button.
      5. Select ‘Install OpenRecoveryScript’ option from the drop-down menu.
      6. Confirm that you wish to install the TWRP Recovery image now.
      7. GooManager will download the required files and then flash them automatically.
      8. Complete the installation and that should be it.
      I think that these were all the steps that you had to take in order to learn how to properly flash a custom Recovery for your device.
      If you don’t know how to boot the CWM or TWRP Recovery, then you should use the instructions below:
      • power off your smartphone completely.
      • press and hold Volume Up, Home and Power buttons at the same time.
      • when the CWM or TWRP image appears on the screen release those buttons.
      • use the internal options of the Recovery Mode to wipe data, factory reset, wipe cache, format system, install zips, create / restore NANDROID parts or any other task you want.
      • to reboot the device into normal mode, select ‘Reboot’.
      If you have any other questions please post them in the comments field below. Remember that these guides should work only with rooted T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4. You cannot flash custom Recoveries on devices that are currently sporting stock Android / Samsung firmware.
