Hello fellow members of XDA developers';
I am Kaan from Turkey. I'm working as a software development expert in a Turkish company we are mainly using PHP, Java and C# for development. I've been following XDA developers forums for a while and I have to say there are many talented people around here and I need your help now!
I own a Samsung Galaxy Nexus and a ZTE Web Tab (a.k.a Vodafone Smart Tab). The ICS os working perfectly on my Galaxy Nexus and my tablet has Gingerbread installed on it (and with lots of GSM operator apps I don't want ). I want to ROOT and then update my tablet to ICS but I have near to no knowledge about these devices. I've successfully managed to flash my Nokia 5800XM with Nokia C5 OS and I have a little bit experience about how it's actually done. Combined with my software development knowledge I've never bricked a device yet.
So I'm asking, is it possible to Root and then install ICS on my ZTE Web Tab? If it is, how?
I'm not 100% sure how to root it but to remove the carrier branded apps you have to use root explorer to remove them from /system/app

Hi guys, I am new to this forum. Also, I have been using android for a few weeks now and you may classify me as a noob even though I am very experienced with other platforms such as: Symbian, Windows phone, Mac OS and Windows. I got my first android device which is a samsung galaxy tab 10.1 with 3g which I upgraded to android 3.2.Well, it is a pain in the ass to remove some apps and not to be able to change the clock rate. So I have decided to root it. It is very hard to find one tutorial when it comes to my OS version, and there is no one who shared some thoughts after they have rooted their devices. Will there be any issues? Will I receive further updates? Is the system stable after the root?
So guys and girls, share some experience if you have the same device and the same OS installed.
Welcome aboard!
For rooting start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15693193. It provides a very easy way to root your tablet. There you will find also some basics about cwm recovery, which you also should flash either by rom manager apk (from play store) or through odin (a windows program used to flash roms to the tab). All info is in the previous thread. You can't overclock just by rooting. Flash a different kernel. Look at pershoot's thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15022459. Before you proceed search Google as to what rooting basically is (well, root access is like administrator rights in windows). Bear in mind that there is a 99.99% chance that your warranty will be void though! Post here any question you might have after reading! Have fun

Hi everyone
First time post here so, hello...
I have recently bought what i thought was a Samsung Galaxy S3 but on further inspection it appears to be a fake.
Some things that are wrong include:
Battery says Sunsung
Baseband version: MAUI.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V20 2012/07/13 18:23
Kernel version: 3.0.13 [email protected]#1 Sat Aug 4 02:00:11 CST 2012
Build number: IMM76D.I9300ZSALE9
Custom build version: 1344016820
Any ways i was wondering if any one knows if it possible to flash the phone to a relatively new version of cyanogenmod?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
seems you got a mediatek (mtk) clone.
Not only will they not run the official operating system including aftermarket ones like Cm (completely different hardware) but they are vastly less powerful and have less interesting hardware than the real S3.
Additionally they don't tend to live very long and have lots of issues.
Try to return it if possible and go to local police.
If you imported it from eg China you're out of luck, buh then again how do u expect an original from there?

I also have mediatek version of an s3..GT-i9300.. If not root and I hope not offensive, many of us cannot afford such an expensive devise. However, Android is and will always will be an open source project... meaning the platform is simply a measure of fire power.. What i realy want to say is that my devise may not be original samsung.. but my OS is Andoid for sure.. and I think developers in this forum are assisting with andoid development and not samsung development.
I am looking for a compatible rom for MEDIATEK version of S3 GT-i9300. So far i came across needrom.com and also on xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358560 where some discussion are ongoing.. (i do note that the scatter file selection is not mentions (where to get the scatter file). I downloaded a zip archive (ROM) and after extracting, it didnt have a scatter.txt file..
I would like to ask if cynogenmod (any) builds are compatible/can be installed? I need advise on available roms...or how to find if one will be compatible..
Thanks in advance for the valuable time...and the understanding..

Cyanogenmod only supports the original S3 devices so you'll have no luck on finding one. And roms for clones are scarce so i'm afraid you'll have to find a dedicated forum that supports your device.
There is a cm9 that booted by superdragonpt but its just way too buggy as he stated, he fixes one error two new ones come out, complete scource code can hardly be found for it. so we are stuck with just theming and modding and if you like to get your hands dirty, heres a thread with guides compatible for mtk phones http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2369586

As said either find a fake forum or build a rom yourself .
Knowledge of fake/ clone is not on this forum .
Simply its not a Samsung product and questions should be posted in a Mediatek forum .

You are wrong. This forum is for android development of the gt-i9300 international galaxy s3. Nothing else. None of us have your device so we cannot help with development, methods, processes or roms.
There are general forums to teach how to develop android for a device generally but without drivers, source code etc, you won't get far. Either way though, this is not the place for that.
Regardless of what you can afford, you must seek out your own forum for your own device. Your device has nothing in common with this device or this forum. It doesn't even share any hardware.

I at no time mentioned that the GTi9300 MTK i have is anything common with "your"device.. i am saying is, both are android platform (samsung or AOSP) and development forums are to discuss on issues faced during tweaks.. sorry to ask here... if thats the reason u were offended.
the name of the post here is "ROOTING/FLASHING CYNOGENMOD ON "FAKE" S3... i think i am in the correct place?

You don't understand either. Android is open source, but is also phone specific ! In each built you have a kernel that runs specific drivers for in built hardware present in your phone!
And for that cm devs need code source. And I think above all that's it's a 'ethical' reason. If cm supports border line illegal clones, it will officialize them.
Those phones are totally different it's exactly the same than asking in a HTC forum why they can't provide you a Rom for your Sony.

No you are in the wrong place this is SGS3 I9300 or I9305 forum .
It is not a fake / clone forum nothing on here is for you and it is a totally different phone .
You need to find a fake SGS3 forum .

So is motorola razr. Truth is posting here is no different to posting in the razr forum. You chose this forum because it looks the same but the similarity ends there.
This forum is for the international s3 only. Not razr. Not clone.

Hi all,
I want to root my Samsung SIII and tried to look for information, but I am lost with so much thread to read and not sure which one is current.
Could someone please give me a direction where I should begin?
I have a Samsung SIII model SGH-T999 with Android version 4.1.1
Thanks,
Tri
Use the search button in the future.
The thread is sufficiently popular for it to appear in Google (since the in-forum search has been disabled).

1. Post questions in the Q&A section, otherwise the police will be here soon
2. Look at the stickies and especially at the FAQ thread in the Q&A section, anything described there.
wow. there's a link to the rooting guide on the main page of the i9300 forum.

hi mates, i'm new to android, sorry for my question, but i tried to root the phone and i've used a guide for rooting not from this forum. It's didn't work because the files for rooting were for android 2.3, but the phone is upgraded to 4.2.1. Is there any working guide i can follow? thank you. Also with the root, can i install games, app, .apk files etc and drop files to sd external memory? thanks a lot
