How To: Provide Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos I9082 / I9082L with CyanogenMod 12

The Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos

CyanogenMod 12 is a popular build in the Android ecosystem because it caters both to the low end and high end devices, and versions circulating among these devices vary from official ROM builds to unofficial ROM builds. Users of Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos would be delighted to know that developers have created an unofficial build of CyanogenMod 12. As should be expected, this version comes with bugs and other issues, but this can be addressed and will be improved as updates come over time.

This article will teach users of the Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos I9082 / I9082L. Before proceeding, here are the things that you need to accomplish and keep in mind:

  • This step by step guide will only work for Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos I9082 / I9082L. If you are not sure about your device model, you may check it by going to your Settings menu and clicking ‘About Device’. Using this guide for another device model may cause bricking, so if you are not a Galaxy Grand Duos user, do not proceed.
  • Your remaining battery percentage should not be less than 60 percent. This will prevent you from having power issues while the installation is ongoing, and therefore will prevent soft bricking of your device.
  • Backup all of your data and files to avoid losing them, including your contacts, messages, call logs, and media files. This will ensure that you will always have a copy of your data and files. If your device is already rooted, you may use Titanium Backup. If you already have an installed TWRP or CWM custom recovery, you may use Nandroid Backup.
  • Also backup your mobile’s EFS
  • Use only your phone’s OEM data cable so that that the connection is stable
  • Your Samsung Galaxy Note 3 should be rooted
  • You need to flash TWRP or CWM custom recovery
  • Download CyanogenMod 12
  • Download Google Apps

 

Note: The methods needed to flash custom recoveries, roms and to root your phone can result in bricking your device. Rooting your device will also void the warranty and it will no longer be eligible for free device services from manufacturers or warranty providers. Be responsible and keep these in mind before you decide to proceed on your own responsibility. In case a mishap occurs, we or the device manufacturers should never be held responsible.
