Samsung Galaxy S3 with its official ROM cannot play Pokemon Go as it requires minimum Android 4.4 to run and Samsung stopped development at 4.3. However there is a way to play Pokemon Go on Galaxy S3 and it is not too difficult.
What you can do is flash something like S3 paranoid ROM that will bring android 6 marshmallow to S3 i9300. But if you want to have solid and stable experience, we suggest download and installing Ressurection remix along with Boeffla kernel.
You can download both and flash them in custom recovery one by one. For those who do not know, the Russurrection remix is based on cyanogen mod 13 and latest android 6.0.1 release. Installation instructions for ROM and kernel.
– Download the latest build
– Download Gapps https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=41043
– Take a nandroid backup
– Recommended – Full wipe and factory reset
– Flash ROM using latest TWRP 2.8.7.x Recovery
– Flash Gapps
– Flash kernel
– Reboot
And that is it – load up Pokemon go and play all day without any crash on your Samsung Galaxy S3. Just make sure not to install Facebook or any memory-eating app. You would want as much free memory as possible in order for it to not crash.

This will guide will help you to root XT1641 / XT1642 / XT1643 variants of the Moto G4 Plus. Before we proceed, let us have a look at the requirements.
First, let us unlock Moto G4 Plus bootloader
1- Register
Head to Motorola website and register your E-Mail ID. Open Setting on your device and go to About Phone. Next, tap 7 times on Build Number and get the Developer Options unlocked. Head back to Main Settings Menu and go to Developer Options and switch the ‘Allow OEM Unlock’ option.
2- Getting Unique ID for each device
Reboot to Bootloader (power off, then press the power and volume down buttons simultaneously). On your desktop, open a command prompt or terminal, and go to the directory where you installed the Android SDK tools (or make sure mfastboot is in your $PATH) At the prompt, type
$ mfastboot oem get_unlock_data
You will get something like this:
On a Windows Desktop, the returned string format would be
$ fastboot oem get_unlock_data (bootloader) 0240540162024205#4C4D3556313230 (bootloader) 30373as313630330df332323239#BD00 (bootloader) 8A672BA4746C2CE0a328A2AC0C39F95 (bootloader) 1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000 (bootloader) 0000000
On a Mac OS Desktop, the returned string format would be
INFO0A40040192024205#4C4D3556313230 INFO30373731363031303332323239#BD00 INFO8A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F95 INFO1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000 INFO0000000
Paste together the 5 lines of output into one continuous string without (bootloader) or ‘INFO’ or white spaces. Your string needs to look like this:
0240540162024205#4C4D355631323030373as313630330df332323239#BD008A672BA4746C2CE0a328A2AC0C39F951A3E5#1F532800020000000000000000000000
3- Unlocking the device
Check if your device can be unlocked by pasting this string in the specific field on the Motorola website, and clicking “Can my device be unlocked?” NOTE: If your device is unlockable, a “REQUEST UNLOCK KEY” button will now appear at the bottom of that page. Click on it and wait for the unique code to be sent to your mail. After you got the code type the following :
