Some Cookie Lite T300 in an i9300 housing I guess, do not flash any of the real i9300 firmware to it.
It does seem fake to me, those baseband, kernel and firmware version don't look like Samsung ones also CPU should at least say it's an exynos.
Don't flash or you will brick.

Yes it looks very strange but like I said I live in China and normally the fake Chinese S3 are OBVIOUS. There is no way to pass a fake for a genuine unless you are a real moron. They look real from far but they look far from real.

Well i was trying to update the kernel of the device to XWKE7 with ODIN. ODIN said the kernel was updated succesfully, but when i tried to turn on the phone after that, it gives me the logo with a yellow exclamation point. Also when the battery ran out i plugged it in and the counter was greyed out with a frozen circle in the center and now i cant even charge the phone. Is there any type of fix for this at all? Thanks in advance.
_Binary Flood_
well 1stly you need a charged battery.. maybe get one from your friend!
then put the phone in download mode..
connect the usb and flash a stock firmware through odin (and dont interrupt the process)
let the phone reboot..
pop your old battery in and charge it.. voila you are good to go!
got more ques?! PM me!

Dont know which firmware to choose though.
Its a G model as far as i am aware you require different firmware from the 9100 model .
Though i am not 100% sure as all i have seen is noobs telling posters to flash stock rom who then report a bricked phone . Check it out G is not i9100 .

use stockfirm ware that from your country is safer...
for my country need dzkj2 to able flash/root
latest firmware for my country is dzkl3
yellow triangle means custom rom...
try different firmware just check that works for your country-carrier and it's for 9100.
ok buddy got your puzzle solved out..
1. download the firmware from the link below.. xtract the files..
2. from the extracted files open odin
3. click on 'pda' button and select the file 'I9100GXWKJ2_I9100GODDKJ2_I9100GDDKI1' from the extracted files.
4. Make sure the battery is atleast 50% charged.
5. Put the phone in download mode.
6. Connect the device to the pc via usb. Wait for the drivers to get installed. Oncd the drivers are installed the ID:COM will turn yellow in the odin.
7. once the ID:COM turns yellow click on start.
8. dont disturb the phone or the pc when the process is going on.
9. Once it is done, the phone will reboot.
10. Your phone will be successfully unbricked then.

No offense to kjshah, but he's giving you un-informed advice.
1st - make ABSOLUTELY SURE what model phone you have. You've referenced T-Mobile USA for your carrier, a non-existent model number (SGH-I9100G), and a completely different model number above (GT-I9100).
Well, are you POSITIVE your model is GT-I9100? If you actually got your Galaxy SII from T-Mobile, then you DO NOT have a GT-I9100. You have an SGH-T989. If that's the case, you're in the wrong place. There's a separate forum for the SGH-T989.
If you actually DO have a GT-I9100, then you should probably be made aware; you will NEVER get 3g/4g on T-Mobile's network in the USA, regardless of what you do. Flashing a different modem will NOT help. The phone simply doesn't have the radio antenna hardware to pick up the necessary frequencies to operate on 3g/4g, and you will only ever get Edge speeds.
Check under your battery. That will have a label that has what your model number is. I believe the model number in your "about phone" screen is subject to change depending on what you may have flashed.
Model : GT-I9100
SSN : I9100GSMH
these 2 i found on the label on the battery and its from T-Mobile.
Dunno what to do now _Binary_Food_

Since the model no. is GT-I9100 the carrier shouldn't matter since i9100 are factory unlocked!

Many confused with the Models.. G model cant use the same firmware nor kernel as the I9100 use.. there's a new custom kernel & firmware made for G model in the forum.. hope this will help...

I bought mine from T mobile, but it seems to be unbranded, and its definately unlocked.
Which forum do i need to be in?
Im looking for a JB based rom, but the roms seem to be different in the normal g3 forum and the t mobile g3 forum.

Its either a fake or if real you need to change the firmware .
Note changing the firmware for China models is as i understand it not the same as flashing a stock rom .

Well, it would be best to say things bluntly so that you do not try in vain. Depending on your firmware version, the bootloader is in version 6 and therein lies the problem.
If the firmware you download has a different bootloader than the one you currently have, you will not be able to flash. You can if you have a lower bootlaoder and upgrade to a higher one, but not from top to bottom
Android Oreo seems to me that it does not have its bootloader higher than version 3 or 4 (I don't remember well) and Android Pie will soon update the bootloader to version 7. For now it is impossible to flash an Oreo rom if you have your device updated
To know what your bootloader number is, you must count four characters after your model, the fourth is the version number. In your case it is G965FXXU>6<CSGD

Unfortunately.. you can't officially downgrade because of the bootloader version.
