i did my research with the phones model number and all. so it seems plretty legit. the installed rom does come with korean and english language option of choosing. i was wondering i can root this device the same way you would root a regular samsung galaxy s ii, install custom recovery, flash OTA Rom or custom, etc. what we androidians mostly do with our devices. forgot to mention that it is a cdma phone and if it is possible to unlock to use here in the u.s.
if anyone could shed some light on my current situation, i would highly appreciate it. thanks in advance.
Don't do it.
Apparently, LG U+ SGS2's have some kind of special rom that is difficult to find. I have been living in Korea for a while and happened to get one of these. I'm sure one of the XDA hackers will eventually get around to giving us a good root solution, but until then we are rootless.
BTW - the antenna is for DMB reception. I'm pretty sure the DMB signal is only in Korea though...Maybe in a few years someone will start tinkering with it and get normal TV somehow.

awesome! looks pretty nice, like a S2 but wider...
so its kinda in between an s2 and a tab 7" then? might have to invest now i sold my tab....
Cracking phone but wayyy too big for my liking, the size of the GS2 is perfect anything beyond that is just too big you may as well just buy a tablet.
I love this phone. Will buy it if the audio and yellow tint issue is not there on this one. I love the size as well as don't think it wont fit my pocket. Great combination of phone and tablet in one. And remember G2 itself is usually much more powerful than most of the tablets! If this phone has better audio, will definitely go for it.

If this topis is posted in wrong section , admin plese move to proper one insted of remove it.
You've got the right idea in downloading some apps to see if you've got the real deal. Now download antutu & quadrant (both benchmarking apps) & run a benchmark on each. Post the results.
You can also take a few photos with the rear camera and see what the quality is like.
Also, post a photo of the back of your phone without the battery cover & battery. Make sure to cover up your imei.

Hello everyone,
my cousing bought a chinese I9300 but he wanted to change ROM because the current one doesn't work well and he has lots of problems with the signal, sms, wifi... We're from Italy if that matters.
Below you can see the screenshots captured from an Antutu report so you can see what's inside this baby :good:
I'd like to know if there's any ROM I can install to replace the running one and see if it can work better.
Thank you all in advance

The phone is not a SGS3 I9300 its some fake clone chinese job .
As posted nothing for that phone on this forum we cannot advise .
I hate to say this to you..
But that does not looks like a real S3 I9300.
From the screen shots I can see that the screen resolution is not correct and neither is the standard DPI.
So I don't think you can install any of the ROMS that are available in this section of the forum.
I think your cousin bought a knock-off that looks almost the same.
Unless you can figure out what phone it really is you are out of luck I'm afraid...
Yeah I thought that too as I saw the report.
So you think that maybe a ROM not for S3 but for some other phone might work.. What should I look for? Screen res, processor....
It looks like hunting a needle in the sea
Suggest you search and read the hundreds of identical post and see if you can find a forum/ firmware .
You require rom for your phone not some other phone .
fingerprint error, please help me !!

I too have the same problem. Unfortunately, most likely, it's a hardware defect. I got my phone replaced. The replaced phone too showed the same problem after 2 months. I'm now waiting for my next replacement phone. I probably won't buy samsung phones again
What was the process to replace the phone n how much did it cost u...?
I have the same problem, I read a system format might fix it but the finger print sensor is garbage anyway

I had purchased my phone via my carrier (at&t). Since this happened within the 1st year of purchase (1 year warranty) they replaced it for free. They did however run lot of tests on the phone to make sure I didn't intentionally damage it. You can contact samsung in case you bought the phone online or other ways. I'm not sure how good samsung's service is in matters like this.
i have the u.s. galaxy S9+ i love this phone and would really like to unlock it from sprint and put it on my metro PCS account but im terrified ill break it also did anyone find out how to root the phone if so i would love a tutor in that also. thax for the help

Once the phone is paid off, sprint will give you an unlock code.
As far as root goes, the US versions of Samsung phones will not be rootable.
