Good find on that one too, seems you probably can't go wrong with either one.

Ps Mike, you should be use to my ninja ways :P
 
Thanks will have to give these a try. And with the update the phone is only able to be flashed to a touchwiz ROM right? Meaning no cm or PAC ROMs right?

Even with Knox? Does the phone have Knox? Sorry I don't know much about the metro s3. Its my uncles and I'm trying to help him root it. I thought with Knox you couldn't do anything as far as roms
 
Also after I root it to get recovery in my device i flash cwm via ROM installer. Can I just use that or do I have to do it thru adb or a toolkit? Does your toolkit have recovery flash shabby? Anyone try ROM installer before to flash recovery? I use to use image flash GUI but unfortunately it doesn't work with the s3
 
i always use goo manager to flash TWRP, knox is just a security flag to let samsung know you flashed stuff to it. it doesnt stop anything :)
 
I used shabbys toolkit to root. Thanks shabby! I used ROM installer to install cwm touch :) I ran su reboot nvbackup thru terminal. I had to manually install su after the tool kit because of Knox. I kept getting an error saying about unauthorised access and su kept crashing.

My question is when I rooted my vzw s3 and backed up NV there was a second "plan b" with synergy ROM ( I can find the link but I'm on mobile right know) does the d2mtr have a simmaler way to make an off phone backup of NV? I couldn't find anything on it.
 
it was actually found that nv didnt need backing up, because this doenst have a true efs partition (verizon is gsm unlocked we arent) there is a dialer code normally called ##rtn# that will perform a nv wipe and then you can do the hands free activation again :)
