Your downloads are either dodgy or your MD5 hash isn't correct, flash back to stock ICS (LG8), re-root and try again

the fies are okay checked it with md5...
i bought new 32gb mem could that be it? i am not sure ... though when i copied my files to sd card it were not there and i saw LOST.DIR was like over 1200 files...
I dont know whats wrong with it any way of fixing it?
thanks again n advance..
Did you format the card when you entered it?? Lost.dir is kinda like the android recycle bin, some of the files and folders you delete may end up in their so it shouldn't be that. The only thing I can think of bud is to start again. Flash back to stock ICS (LG8 if your device is unbranded) re-root and try again buddy

Yeah simlock, and no it wasn't there before i used others just before this thing and yeah it happened right after i installed custom UltimaROM_v4.1_Bahamut rom, and this thing came up.... now i dont know what to do i have few files right on my internal SD card which says voodoo_simunlock_nv_data.bin, voodoo_simunlock_nv_data.bin.md5
and i got voodoGalaxyS3Simunlock.apk but it isn't working its giving me error SIM LOCK: Read Error
and not sure why its showing that... and the unlock button is disabled
Now i need to know do i need to unlock my phone or is it something else?
second thing... i have no idea what to do right now ... this was unlocked from factory and is international version...
HELP lol...
Flash back to stock ICS buddy....DONT add a .pit file or check repartition, re-root using CF-ROOT 6.4, then flash a custom rom, see if that works, if your phones unlocked international the stock rom you're looking for is XXI9300LG8....download and flash report back buddy

Congratulations. You're the first. It's not going to be easy to help you since no one here as seen a G-Tab ICS shipping ROM yet. You're going to get inundated with requests for a system dump though.
Any chance the cameras on this puppy are the same as on last year's model?

And there's no root at the moment I presume. It usually takes 1-2 months after a device is released for custom roms to begin to appear.

Moving to Q&A
OK I have spent ages looking though all the threads on here and I am getting confused with all the numbers and codes
I have a Galaxy II GT-i9100
The the details are
Android Version 2.3.5
Base Version I9100NEK12
Kernal 2.6.35.7-I9100XWK18-CL616395 [email protected] #2
Build Number GINGERBREAD XWK18
I have tried to follow a few links of here to unlock it but the links they show to the 'ODIN' are dead.
All I want to do is Unlock it from the present provider (UK)3 to be able to use another SIM.
Later on I might want to change the ROM
I have Changemod 7 on my old Desire.
Could any kind soul please point me in the right directions for the files software I need.
I know this keeps getting asked over and over again but I do really find the jargon hard to follow.
Thanks again you are a great bunch.
Did you try this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092451

Think you really need to read the roll up sticky thread.
In the mean time.. Do this..
Turn of phone. Take out battery for a minute. Put battery back in..then..
Press volume up, main button at bottom of screen," menu button " and power button at same time and wait for phone to turn on.. You should then be in recovery.. Go down to data/factory reset and select it. Then reboot.

Hi!
All you need to do is flash a standard firmware with odin.
Here is the thread for Official firmwares, with instructions.
You want:
XWLPD
Firmware info
PDA:XWLPD
PHONE: XXLPW
Date: 08/05/2012
Android 4.0.3
This is ICS and is located 2nd from bottom of third post.
Does it matter it says its for the GT ?
Thanks
any clue on SIMunlocking not working ? DO I need a SIM card in the phone ?
and do I need the Kernal and do I update it after the firmware the same way with Orion ?
Thanks

According to your OP, you have the GT-I9100. If correct then that is the firmware required for an upgrade to ICS. You will not have any sim lock after this and just leave sim in if you like.

Let the phone boot, shut it down. Then as before, flash

Please be aware that this is the Official Samsung firmware and you will have Samsung's interpretation ei similar looks to GB.

If do i wanna install new custom or stock rom on this phone must i make root this phone or not?
I go to developers website (for example whatasapp) to install application but this time market://details?com.whatsap*blablabla errors shown on the screen... :S
Can anybody help me about these cases?
Thanks a lot from now on...
must root before you flash any customs roms..

Sounds like a fake if it has himarket instead of playstore that would also explain codes not working

If it has HiMarket it is not a real Galaxy S III.
It is a cheap chinese clone of the Galaxy S III and no matter what you do it will NEVER be a Galaxy S III.
Close topic, because this phone doesn't even belong to the S III section because it isn't one.
But my friend cant use this phone in this state so i have to do it...
Could you please help me how can i make it root and which (turkish supported) rom u advice to me?
Or can i install another stock rom on this phone after root?

Okay do one thing before going into flashing custom ROMs...
type *#1234# in the dialer and post the output..
Also, install the google play app from here and see if it works..if your phone is not GS3 then flashing/modding using any tool from this subforum will most probable brick your device...so tread with caution...
Make sure you have the original GT-I9300 before you do anything..

It's like flashing bmw dashboard firmware into a honda pilot dashboard.. it wont work and will damage the device instead.

Just let the guy flash anything to his pseudo-phone and brick it.
The phone is a fake POS anyway, plus he won`t believe us, so who gives a crap?
Hoping someone can help me figure out the easiest way to move my larger games (and save data, if applicable) from my internal memory to the 64gb external SD card I originally planned on using it all for.. I recently rooted my phone and the first thing I wanted to get done is this memory move. Been having nothing but problems so far.. I saw a video showing someone using a program called GL to SD and it looked easy but I keep getting 'insufficient storage space' errors when I try downloading it off the play store. I tried side loading it too but received another similar error only after successfully downloading it, then trying to install.. Something seems to be blocking this program from working, regardless..
Anyway, also tried Link2SD to no avail and I was just hoping someone here may be able to help me a bit, kinda new to the scene here.. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Do you mean something like "directory bind" on xda?

I actually have the Cricket version, so it's the SCH-R530C GS3... I'll go into a program like App2Sd or Link2SD and I keep getting the 'your device is not supported because your device has a primary external storage which is emulated form the internal storage' error.. Not sure about 'directory bind' or what that means, sorry, I'm pretty new to this..

OK this is the i9300 forum, so probably wrong place?
But by version, I meant Android. 4.0.4, 4.1.1, 4.1.2 etc? Because Directory bind works up to 4.1.2 but not 4.2.1

Hmm... I was able to download the program but it again tells me 'out of space' when I try installing the program. I have over 2gb left on my internal memory.. any ideas why I keep having this problem?
Something you did with the other apps probably. Revert. But you may have to reset

Alright, I have a new dilemma it would seem.. I just used ROM manager to flash the newest cyanogenmod ROM to my phone. The first time I did it, it successfully backed up my system data, then errored out after trying attempting to backup user data. I went back in and made sure to back up everything via Titanium Backup, then retried flashing this time without selecting backup (still chose to wipe cache/dalvik. Everything seemed to be going fine after that, it installed the ROM successfully but after booting up again (with the new cyanogenmod logo and everything), I keep getting 2 errors that keep popping up... 1) Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped. and then 2) Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped.. Anyone know what this could be or how to go about fixing this possibly? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Oh. Thanks, sorry about that. Could you be so kind as to point me to the correct forum here on XDA possibly? My phone is pretty much bricked right now and I need it for work tomorrow. This is the kind of thing I was worried about when I decided to ROOT this thing. I'm freakin out right now.. I've asked this same questing on the Cricket Users forum and noone has helped me just yet..
EDIT: without having to flash anything new, possibly you could tell me how to revert back to what I originally had without too much trouble? I searched these forums to find nothing at all for the Cricket version. I did my homework before flashing the rom and it was definetly okayed for my phone. Again, any help would be a life saver.. Would it be advisable to install the original root package from my sd card again? Could that hurt anything?
So I.screwed it up totally
Somehow I have wiped everything with a format and no matter what room I throw at it on sd card nothing will install.
Please do not delete this thread trust me I have looked for days for a solution and altho there seems to be.some hope I end up not being able to download the rom etc due.to a dead link
So please don't delete so people can help me with new links etc.
Pictures attached show what odin looks like when connected to pc and phone in download mode.
And various other pics I took showing how it errors on rom.install etc
Please help

Your stock rom will be here on Sammobile
If you have flashed or tried to flash a newer version than the one on this site you may not be able to just flash the stock rom it may have corrupted you EFS, see my signature link for that problem
I can't download from Sam mobile it won't let me register for some reason
