As this is not an official Jelly Bean update, you will require custom recovery like ClockworkMod to flash the ROM zip and Google Apps zip files on your Samsung Galaxy S3 smartphone.

Before you go ahead with the installation process, keep one thing in mind: there are always chances of the device experiencing bricking issues. That only happens if the rooting is not done properly and the instructions are not followed step-by-step.

Follow these steps to prepare your device for the big task:

1: The process is meant only for AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999. Therefore, users are advised to check their devices' model number in: Settings > About phone.
