In Hong Kong's HKEPC forum, 1st page of thread Haipai xx 6577(X710D) / 6575(i9220) and others had a link "512MB to 2.5GB" to download generic MTK6575 patch for combining usb storage with internal one. The readme.txt(in Simplified Chinese) inside this 7z archive stated that:
1.to put the zip file in sd card and install from recovery mode.
2.it's compatible with MTK6575 ROM with 4G (eMMC capacity not lower than 3.61G).
In addition, LKF(author of this thread) commented that this patch should be applied right after rom flash (before boot into the system).
I had not personally verified the validity of this "512MB to 2.5GB" patch and you should exert caution in practice.

[SIZE=+2]Samsung Galaxy S III - International GT-I9300[/size]
[SIZE=+1]This a short list of frequently asked questions with answers related to the Samsung Galaxy S III. It should serve as a starting point for gathering knowledge and finding solutions to many common problems. Please only post in this thread with feedback on how to improve this document and refrain from posting "Thank you" type responses. If you have additional questions or require more help, try to find an existing thread or create your own. Do not use this as a general help thread.[/size]
[SIZE=+1]Q1: How do I root my Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300?[/size]
There are several methods to achieve this:
CF-AutoRoot by Chainfire
CF-Root by Chainfire
A custom kernel like Siyah, Speedmod and others which can be flashed with Odin or Heimdall
Use the toolkit by mskip
[SIZE=+1]Q2: What can I do to conserve/improve battery life?[/size]
Official Samsung Touchwiz ROMs enable Smart Screen by default. You can tell it's enabled if you see an eye icon in the top right corner of your phones home screen. Smart Screen attempts to sense when you are looking at the screen to turn it on and to rotate the screen when you change your viewing angle but it is also notorious for draining the battery.
To turn it off go to Settings -> My Device -> Smart Screen then disable 'Smart Stay' and 'Smart rotation'.
To conserve your battery under official firmwares it is also recommended to enable power saving mode and, for all firmwares, you should turn off the WiFi, Bluetooth and your mobile data connections whenever you are not using them to minimize battery drain.
[SIZE=+1]Q3: How do I flash (install) ROMs?[/size]
ROMs that come packaged as a .zip file are usually installed using a custom recovery tool such as TWRP or ClockworkMod. Unlike previous Samsung Galaxy S devices the recovery for the Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 is NOT part of the kernel. Instead, the SGSIII has a separate recovery partition. Custom recovery partitions can be installed using Odin if you are running Windows or Heimdall, which is available for Linux/UNIX and Mac OSX as well as Windows.
Some ROMs come packaged as a .tar.md5 file. These can only be directly flashed using Odin. Heimdall users are required to extract the individual tar files from within the .tar.md5 file and then flash them to the correct partitions using an appropriate .pit (partition map) file. Heimdall can be used to generate .pit files by extracting the existing partition map from your phone. Note that .tar.md5 files are actually just regular tar files with an added .md5 extension.
[SIZE=+1]Q4: How can I return to the stock ROM?[/size]
There is sometimes the need to revert to the stock ROM, for example when you need to return your device if its still under warranty. doovd made this great guide to the process.
[SIZE=+1]Q5: What is Odin?[/size]
Odin is a leaked tool from Samsung. It is used to flash firmwares (aka ROMs) to phones. There are many how-to's covering the use of Odin, such as this. Others can be found on the XDA WIKI.
[SIZE=+1]Q6: How do I unlock my bootloader?[/size]
There is no need to unlock the bootloader as it is already unlocked! This is the case for most Samsung devices.
[SIZE=+1]Q7: I have heard about EFS. Why is this so important?[/size]
/EFS is a partition on your phone where your IMEI code is stored. Without it your phone is an expensive PDA as you will not be able to make calls. Make sure to have a backup of this partition on a separate device before you attempt to flash new ROMs. TWRP and Philz recovery let you backup the EFS partition.
The format of the EFS partition changed with the release of the MG4 modem firmware so this can cause issues if your modem version and EFS don't match. Here is an explanation of the Samsung firmware naming convention.
[SIZE=+1]Q8: After flashing a ROM I cannot make calls. I now get a 'Not registered on network' error on my lock screen and if I look under Settings -> About Phone -> Status my IMEI begins with 0049 and my serial number has changed to a string of zeros. How can I fix this?[/size]
There are many threads on this forum suggesting this problem is caused by an EFS/modem mismatch or a corrupt EFS partition. This is a potential cause but its more likely you have flashed a ROM with the incorrect CSC (Customer Sales Code) for your phone network. For example, you can experience this error if you've flashed a BTU ROM when your network requires a H3G (Three) CSC. It can also be caused by flashing a ROM using the PDA instead of the CSC option under Odin. You can check your current CSC by dialling *#1234# or connecting your phone to Kies.
If you flashed with Odin and you're sure you flashed a ROM with the correct CSC, the first thing to try is flashing the same ROM using Odin's CSC mode instead of PDA mode. If your phone is rooted you can try changing the CSC mode using a CSC changer app but be warned that doing so will perform a factory reset - wiping all your settings, apps, messages and locally stored contacts etc. If none of those methods restore your correct IMEI, serial and network connectivity then a number of S3 users have reported success by flashing A.S._id's rescue firmware.
[SIZE=+1]Q9: I'm sure I've correctly flashed an SGSIII ROM with the right CSC for my network but why can I still not make calls?[/size]
If your phone was running an Android version less than v4.3 before you flashed a new ROM then you may need to install a patched modem and, if you upgraded to a newer stock ROM, a patched kernel too such as the zuluman modem FW/kernel. You will usually not need to install a patched kernel if you install CyanogenMod or a CM-based ROM. A number of kernels and modem firmwares patched for Android 4.3+ are available here.
[SIZE=+1]Q10: What is the best ROM for the SGSIII?[/size]
Galaxy ROMs come in two flavours. CyanogenMod-based ROMs and TouchWiz-based ROMs. CyanogenMod is completely open source and forms the basis of several derivatives such as AOKP, ParanoidAndroid and many more. These ROMs lack a number of features exclusive to Samsung's TouchWiz like Svoice, Smart Stay, S-Beam and so on. On the other hand, they generally perform better thanks to consuming less resources.
There is no such thing as 'the best rom', it is a subjective matter. Please read this sticky thread in the General section.
[SIZE=+1]Q11: Where can I download the official firmware files from?[/size]
Official firmware files are available here.
[SIZE=+1]Q12: How do I enable Debug mode?[/size]
Since Android 4.2 debug (developer) mode has been hidden by default. Debug mode can be enabled by tapping 7 times on Build number under Settings -> About Phone.
[SIZE=+1]Q13: How do I enter Download Mode and Recovery mode?[/size]
Make sure your phone is unplugged and powered off, then:
Download Mode: Hold Volume down, home, and power until you see the green dude.
Recovery: Hold Volume up, home, and power for about 5 seconds then release all buttons. This might take a couple of tries.
[SIZE=+1]Q14: What is the 'Flash Counter'?[/size]
Your phone's flash counter is triggered and incremented after installing a custom firmware. This is Samsung's way of knowing that you have modded your device. Thanks to the awesome people at XDA, this counter can be reset. Refer to this thread.
[SIZE=+1]Q15: What is ADB and how do I use it?[/size]
[GUIDE] ADB Workshop and Guide for everyone
[SIZE=+1]Q16: I've been asked to provide a logcat. How do I do that?[/size]
How to read a logcat/ Troubleshoot your own issues!
[SIZE=+1]Q17: TitaniumBackup can't find my backups anymore![/size]
This usually occurs after upgrading to Android 4.2 when users forget to also update the recovery partition. Older recoveries can't handle the multiuser support on the sdcards so your data got repeatedly shifted to a folder named 0, resulting in /sdcard/0/0/0... etc. That is where your backups have gone! You simply have to update TitaniumBackup's settings to point to the correct location and your backups will re-appear.
[SIZE=+1]Q18: I have searched everywhere and still can't find an answer to my question![/size]
Have you really searched everywhere? Google? Have you tried asking in the XDA thread relating to your problem? Have you read the stickies and FAQs? If you have honestly spent more than 5-10 minutes searching for an answer, post a new thread in the Q&A section.

It's been a long time since I registered, but is there some kind of big splash screen that pops up saying read the FAQ/stickies? If not, there should be!
And it should be like one of those annoying t&c's things on windows apps that won't let you past until you have scrolled down.
In fact, you should have to read instructions, saying things like search/faq/stickies etc, then you have to answer 5 questions correctly before you can register!

Do not post "Thank you" type responses. If you have additional questions or require more help, try to find an existing thread or create your own. Do not use this as a general help thread.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Q1: What's the difference between "Development" and "Original Development"?[/SIZE]
Here are the rough guidelines as to what should be placed in "Original Development":
*Official release of highly original and upstream custom ROMs (built from the ground up with significant original development within them).
*Official releases/development of such original ROMs, perhaps posted by the maintainer or their nominated person.
*A significant "first" in development for a device. This is something which took considerable time/effort and is generally accepted by developers to be non-trivial.
*Kernels which are built with beneficial changes that are not simply pulled from other kernels already available.
*Tools and utilities with a clear purpose, and which are well-made, and useful to users. They should have an element of originality, either in purpose or through significant improvement in the means of operation.
*Significant port of a ROM from one device to another, giving enhanced features or functionality to the users of the target device.
All other development work goes into "Android Development".
[SIZE=+1]Q2: How do I root my phone?[/SIZE]
There are a few different ways you can root your phone. Below are a couple of threads to help you successfully root your SII;
CF-ROOT 5.6 - This is a rooted kernel which will root your stock firmware and add busybox & ClockWorkMod recovery onto your device.
ROOT/UNROOT stock firmware without flashing insecure kernel - This simply roots your stock kernel so you don't have to flash a different kernel to your device.
Universal Rooting for most phones [ICS/JB] - This thread lists other methods to root your device, which I have not written here.
*NOTE* Always be sure to double check everything you read and follow the instructions carefully.
[SIZE=+1]Q3: What are download mode and recovery and how can I enter them?[/SIZE]
Download mode and recovery are very important in the rooting world and you will likely hear a lot about them.
Read the following thread to get a brief description of what they are and how to enter them - What is recovery and download mode?
[SIZE=+1]Q4: When I turn my phone on, I see a yellow triangle. What is it and how can I get rid of it?[/SIZE]
It will appear if you have flashed a non-official kernel from download mode. If you flash kernels using CWM recovery, Mobile Odin etc. you won't get this yellow triangle.
The easiest ways to remove it are to use the app Triangle Away OR use a USB Jig.
[SIZE=+1]Q5: How can I fix a boot loop/ how can I recover from a soft bricked phone?[/SIZE]
Fixing a boot loop is really easy and straightforward. All you have to do is boot into recovery, wipe cache partition and then go to Advanced > Wipe dalvik cache. If that doesn't work, wipe data/factory reset and then boot up your phone.
If you are soft bricked, simply read and follow the instructions of the following thread and you'll soon recover your device - Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII.
[SIZE=+1]Q6: What is the best ROM/kernel/modem?[/SIZE]
Honestly, there is no "best". It's all based on personal choice. For example; I may like heavily customizing my ROMs whereas you may like it to look at basic as possible. The best thing you can do is to just test out different ROMs/kernels/modems and see which you prefer.
Also, please don't ask which is the best because your post will likely be deleted as it's against forum rules to ask that question.
[SIZE=+1]Q7: What does dual-booting mean?[/SIZE]
Dual-booting allows you to run 2 different ROMs on your device at the same time. In doing so, it means rather than having to restore old backups or keep flashing between different ROMs, you can simply switch between the 2 you want to use.
Read the following thread for more details on dual-booting and how to dual-boot - How To Dual Boot Using Siyah Kernel.
[SIZE=+1]Q8: I hear a lot about ADB. What is it?[/SIZE]
Find out everything you need to know by reading the following thread - ADB Workshop and Guide for everyone.
[SIZE=+1]Q9: Am I required to backup my ROM before flashing anything else?[/SIZE]
No you're not, but it is definitely a good idea because if you don't do a backup and then something goes wrong, it means that you'll lose all your apps, data etc. It just saves a lot of hassle.
[SIZE=+1]Q10: Why is my battery running out so quickly?[/SIZE]
If you had bad battery life from the moment you got the phone then you're best options are either to buy a new battery OR send your phone to be repaired.
If, however, you used to have good battery life but now it's poor it could be because of a few different reasons. Either you overuse your phone and don't charge it enough, you may have too many apps installed, it could be because of the ROM or kernel you're using etc.
Try troubleshooting the problem, so if you have a lot of apps (for example), uninstall some of them and see if it helps.
If you'd like to analyze your battery stats and optimize your battery life, please check out the BetterBatteryStats thread.

[SIZE=+1]Q11: What is the difference between the different Samsung Galaxy SII models?[/SIZE]
The main differences are hardware and region. Some variations will have better hardware than others. Some will have a slightly different look to the body of the phone itself. Some are also specific to certain carriers. To learn more about the Galaxy SII variants, please read the following link - Samsung Galaxy SII variants.
*NOTE* If you have a device other than Samsung Galaxy SII I9100 then this FAQ is not suited to you.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've added it to the OP
I've updated the FAQ with Q1 and therefore moved all other questions down the list. Although the question isn't device specific, it still gets asked enough in this forum to warrant me adding it to the FAQ
Add a question in FAQ
Please add the solution for call recording in S2.

It's not a frequently asked question so therefore I won't be adding it.

but how can you provide some steps with photos
Hello, I have a question...
I have a Vivo smartphone.
I have been hacked and had spyware on my smartphone even after I did factory reset.
I realized I have to flash the stock rom again.
Problem:
1. I have come across many websites claiming to provide official stock ROM...
Download Vivo Stock ROM for all models - hardreset33
You can download any Vivo smartphone flash file here. Download Android mobile latest and original stock ROM or Firmware version.
www.hardreset33.com
Vivo all models Stock Rom Firmware Download – FLASH FILE TOOL
Vivo Firmware direct easy & free all Vivo models flash file, usb drivers, working imei tools We have full package for Vivo android smartphones.
flashfiletool.com
In fact these websites look scammy....
Where can one ACTUALLY find the official stock ROM files?
2. How can one find the files on this website XDA because this is my first time using the website?
3. how can we confirm files found on XDA have not been tampered with?
Thank you in advance for posting your replies...
Hm it has been very easy to register to this website XDA and post a question... Really pleasant experience. Usually forums are so annoying with millions of rules on how to ask a question, what to ask, in which subsection bla bla bla... Confirming the account etc etc....
I am really pleasantly surpsied.
I look forward to receiving some constructive replies because I am indeed quite frustrated having spent 4 hours googling "vivo official stock rom" and having actually found absolutely nothing reassuring.
I have basic knowledge in python, mysql and php so for me as an amateur programmer, it sounds crazy to just go and download an OS from a random website and install it on your smartphone.
I don't understand the implications very well but that seems rather wild to me...
It's like downloading your microsoft windows iso image from whatever website you found somewhere?! :S
