You will have the international i9300, so you are in the right thread most information you will need is in general/stickies regarding root/firmware etc

In about screen if it says GTI9300 then yours is International version.
USA model is having snapgragon processor and international Exonys
You are in right forum buddy. Just go to original development section and download latest CFroot to root.
Enjoy

AFAIK the I757 aka 'Sky rocket' has an entirely diff hardware config compared to I9100 hence, installing a software meant for the I9100(international) on ur phone might lead to a hardbrick, u have a dedicated section for the same.please visit there and check

The Skyrocket is the i727, not the i757. But it's still not the i9100.

This phone is made by bell. So I can only flash the ROMs that are only made for this phone? I cannot flash skyrocket ROMs? There are only like 2 ROMs for this phone :9
I've bought an i757 too and im a little decieve at the fact that there is only two Rom available for this built.
Well. I love it anyway. I find it more interresting than the original gs2 an much more cool than the ugly gs3.
And the CM10 Rom is getting better each day. So there still hope.

Your sig says you have an I727. Not an I757.
And I found the thing by typing "I757 ROM" into Google. First result. Really.
no, I'm using i727, but also buy an i757, the google search result is i757M which release by Canada bell, i can't find any rom infornation about the ATT i757 phone.

For all intents and purposes I believe they (the i757 & i757m) are the same phone, but they may use different modem software.

yes, i agreed but the most thing is that i can't find the i757's baseband files. It makes my phone out of work when i flashing the i757m's baseband, and can not bake to the old version andriod.

korean gs3 roms

Are the roms like cm10 and others compatible with the korean gs3 as they have the same hardware?
Apparently most i9300 roms work on the 3g model although you need to flash a different kernel.
Would refer to the korean s3 thread on this forum.

The guy who first replied to your question's right.. idk why u had to answer: ????'
Go to the Korean s3 thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749214 i am pretty sure that will help you become a flashaholic as i had the korean version of s3: shw-m440s, i used to convert a lot of kernels for that model.

Is the Galaxy S3 Black version really the same?

Kind of a stupid question for some of you xD but I just want to be sure that I'm going to be able to get all the ROMs i can get with the normal Galaxy S3 pebble blue. Is it going to be the same?
This would be the link I'll be using http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-black-unlocked-16gb-238383/ to buy it!
I just want to make sure there wasn't any hardware/software changes to the black version. Obviously, there shouldn't be but I don't want to go wrong for buying this one!

But it appears as if it is the US version with the dual core and 2GB of RAM.
So be www l aware of that when flashing ROMs

Hey guys! Just saw an S3 and i have checked the Settings > About phone. This is what is there

And when i attempt going into download mode (vol down+home+power), i get something like Factory Test mode or so... Self test and things like dat... What do you guys think? and what to do to get into download mode and flash ROM

Cant take a screenshot right now. But i know dat the phone is GT I9300. Very sure.
Google search shows random chinese results and random italian forums for such firmware. Where exactly did you buy this phone?
Your S3 must be a fake one
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
have a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843934
definitely a S3 clone, no matter how many times u tried to look at it...
I don't doubt you bought an I9300, but the trouble is all the chinese clones are also I9300's... The difference is that most have a completely different CPU (mtk6575/77), are a heap slower and you can be assured that trying to install any S3 rom on them is doomed to failure...
I hope you didn't pay more than a couple hundred dollars because otherwise you got ripped off big time if it is fake... To check use antutu from the play store, you can check the specs and post back here to show if it is fake or not. If it says you have a dual core mtk 6575 or 6577 then you definately have a fake....
Thanks alot bros! Its most definitely a fake. Please delete thread an admin! Thanks!

In Japan the Samsung Galaxy S III has an upgraded model called Alpha under the service provider Docomo. I was interested in knowing whether anybody had attempted to root the new device. I tried to post a link but I was blocked.
