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.

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 .

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.

hey ashwinsrihari
there is no ics update/ics based custom rom for i9100g yet.i dont know when it will be released but there are two options if you want ics
1.wait for ics leak/update from samsung so codeworkx can develop cyanogenmod 9 and other developers for i9100g can base their custom on the ics update/leak.
2.port ics from devices with similar cpu and gpu as i9100g like galaxy nexus,the only difference is the different chipset.if i did not help i am sorry.

well i am not sure but please dont try something that you aren't sure of.please don try and flash galaxy nexus roms on i9100g directly since they have different chipset it might not work but with editing the rom will make it work.but one day someone will port roms device when i had i9000 it didnt receive ics update but the developers ported it i9000.if you do not understand do replay because i will explain to you about what you didnt understand.

Then learn how to develop roms, get a different device or wait for a dev to come along who has got a G version.

You need to learn how to be nice with others,even if they did something wrong and silly.
Do you even own a i9100g?
If yes then you still need to learn how to be nice with people
If no then what the hell are you even doing here.
Some mad weird people have been appearing lately on xda, how sad.

Install a ROM model I9100"G".
Good afternoon friends!
I have a GT-I9100G, Excellent team! The best I ever had, but it is in English, I would like to install a Spanish official ROM, I've tried several downloaded from Samfirmware.com / Sammovile.com and I could not find one in Spanish, oh and the strange thing is that only allow me to install a ROM model "G". the other not, but is the model I get an error I9100G with ODIN and the process ends. Then to get it back again in English, I had to reinstall the kernel to enter into "Recovery Mode" and then the ROM.
Where I can download a ROM for I9100G in Spanish?
PDA: I9100GJPLC1
PHONE: I9100GXXKL4
CSC: I9100GOJPLC1
Please, I need help since I've updated my other brothers and mine not,
Greetings and thanks in advance,
Richard.

"I'll get you S3"
I bought my S2 with official ICS 4.0.4 in it and I wanted to try Jelly bean so I flashed XXLSJ with odin, i replaced the PDA, PHONE and CSC..
I don't like it and I want to go back to official... Can somebody give me the latest official ICS? I have been searching for hours here, found one that has only the PDA file... phone won't boot with it...
Have you tried the FIRST post of Original Android developemnet section? either way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
choose the one you had before and it should work out.
Regards.
Just give me the link to the latest one that can be updated with Kies.

Firstly, ever thought about saying "please" instead of just demanding? This isnt your personal tech support site, its a community of smartphone/tablet enthusiasts and developers.
Second, How do you expect anybody to be able to link you when you dont even give such basic info like what model your actual S2 device is?
Third, Rule #1 of xda rules says you should use search before creating topics as its extremely likely you topic has already been created so no need to be re-created and that is the case here. If you had searched you would find the topics that have the stock carrier roms or people linking to http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3.
In future please respect XDA and use search and have courtesy when asking for help instead of demanding it.

Hi,
I'm fairly new to android (recent iOS convert) and playing with roms, I got an international samsung galaxy s3 i9300 which was already rooted and I put the Smartisan OS on to it. After playing with it for a while, it's good but a little buggy in it's pre-alpha state, I'd like to put standard android 4.2 (not the samsung stock software) onto the device.
Would anyone be kind enough to tell me or point me in the right direction to do this please? I've googled and can find people rooting the device or putting other ROMs onto it but nothing that tells me how to put standard android 4.2 on it from the Smartisan OS it's on now.
Many thanks in advance for any help
Best,
Greg
Just flash an aosp zip via recovery and do a factory reset

Nope. You didnt mention "general" at all. You said you googled. Look in "General" - important stuff is stuck at the top.
Or follow the link a moderator posted to you in your duplicate thread.
We wont spoon feed you.
Or see the sticky fas and guides .
Any user who cannot find the basics and has not read them should flash nothing .
Saves bricking your phone through ignorance is why .

I'm just asking for a bit of help, a link to something relevant, is that unreasonable to you? I thought this was a help forum.
I've looked and looked and can't find anything on installing pure android from the smartisan OS
Lots about rooting and lots about installing new roms, nothing about simply putting android 4.2 onto it... Do I just need to root it? (mine came rooted with omega on it so I don't know if simply rooting would do the job)
It's probably just the correct terminology that I need to know, is all.

Well, im looking for a helping hand.
Was hoping I could rally some help by posting and gaining attention.
In Q&A ? Unlikely. Devs don't read Q&A generally. Q&A is for n00bs who have no idea what they're doing mostly
In that case, maybe an admin can move this post ?
Report your OP & ask them. Won't get moved by you asking for same in the thread, this place is too big for mods to monitor stuff like that.
i dun understand why are u asking to port 4.2 from a device which has an entirely different SOC..
s2 plus has broadcom chipset while s2 has exynos...
u can manually backport apks bt not entire rom
Hi xda community!
The thing is I want to port a Note FE Oreo rom to Note 7 for our xda members since no one did.. except for SoulTeam which i found in Chinese website, it's actually working well but it's full of Chinese bloatware and limited to 48hours use with their own tweak tools wich if you disable things will randomly stop working. The big problem is they didn't put the source in github or whatsoever and they didn't reply when i contacted them for permission since they stopped developing that rom (i think).
they ported it from 8.0 N935FXXU3BRG4 base.. i have the same version but Saudi Arabia region which have very minimal bloats in a stock .tar.md5 since i couldn't find any zip files, the difference as you sure know is that Note fe is N935F while Note 7 is N930F(stopped at 6.0.1) and are basically the same device so it should be easy apart from the bootloader etc, so i'm thinking about extracting the kernel(boot.img) from SoulRom and modem and BL from my note 7 with the system from the stock note fe and make a it work somehow ?!?! , i know a lot about roms but i never actually ported a samsung rom, so if you may please guide me through the right way to do it cuz i don't want to be fooling around or if there's a guide to do so that i didn't find! (i have z3x box if that may help)
I will certainly use it for my own and test and won't share it until i get the permission of devs included and give credit, inculdin you! ^^
Ps: The iris scanner doesn't work on the soulrom and i really want to fix that, if you know what to do, flash cm.bin or modify model or sth.
Thanks!
