Hey guys! Just saw an S3 and i have checked the Settings > About phone. This is what is there
Baseband
MAUI.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V12, 2012/09/20
Build Number
ALPS.ICS.MP.V26
Custom Build
000121114
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
Are you sure you bought a genuine S3 GT-I 9300 ?

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

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!

have you seen on SGS3 the feature that avoid to turn off the screen when for example we are reading something?is there a rom with this one implemented for SGS2?I'm falling in love for this!
Not sure what feature is that our how it works....
On S2 either the application have a option to keep awake/ keep screen on
Or put the sleep time to more than 2 minutes.
I think someone is currently porting the 'smart stay' from sgs3 to our sgs2.

Hello.
I need 3 Parts Firmware+PIT.
I have a problem,after repair EFS with EFS.img from i9300,the Device restart and hang on i9305 Logo,I have tried Wipe Data and flashed with original Fimrware via ODIN,but same Problem,I think I need repartition,can anyone help me?
ask faryaab from here or sammobile.com i think he would know if 3 part fw is aviable
So let me get this straight you didnt do the i9305 backup properly, so then some thing went wrong and you lost your imei. And then you tried to repair it with a i9300 efs ??

HA...HA...! My Stock Rom runs like your i9300 with cm10 but i have a lot more Ram!

hahaha I love that bit of your signature .... you know what Its funny how some of i9300 users hate us talking about how the i9305 is better then the i9300 in a few different ways, they get so angry and envious it makes me laugh. Idiots
The only thing they can come up with is ohh ohh well that device doesnt have as much support! well i guess they are right for now but Id really like to prove them wrong so come on guys lets try port as much as we can over haha and the more users we have the more support will get, so if more people get enticed to get this device because they starting to see the dev support is growing... well the quicker the support will grow
But anyway like you said my stock rom runs smoother then my favourite tweaked up nandroid i had on my I9300, which was Foxhound rom haha.
And right now I am close to tweaking my rom as close to that... so just imagine how smooth its running now
Do you guys have your devices rooted sucessfully w CF root? bc all i really need is root. we are working on porting a (edit) heavily tweaked v of cm10 currently

Yes but don't make the mistake of using CF-Root for the I9300 or I will have to bail your arse out! Lol

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!

Yup it is the exact same. GT–I9300. you can flash all of the roms here without any issues whatsoever.

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

Hi All,
I got my S3 yesterday. After installing the apps I've noticed that the available ram is very less around 83mb or so.. I tried 1tap boost but the recovered memory is used again..
Is there any way to sort this issue.. I haven't had a chance to update the OS yet and am on 4.1.1 but I assume that shouldn't be an issue..
Please advice

Also check what phone you have is it a fake / clone .

There are workarounds but the only way that will get permanently fixed is by replacing your Samsung rom for an aosp one. Search around, this has got to be one of the most debated subjects in the s3 forums...
