Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 GTi9300 and would like to root it (don't we all)
I just looked up the Baseband and Build number and found that it is using a Brazilian ROM, most odd since I bought this as sim free and unlocked from Amazon UK
The Baseband version is I9300UBELL1
The Kernel version is 3.31-789635

2013
The Build number is
JZO54K.I9300UBEMA1
My question is can I use a BTU rooted rom GT-I9300-BTU-I9300XXEMC2 to replace the Brazilian one I have?
Will this work on my phone or do I have to download and install the rooted brazilian version of this rom?
Cheers
Basically all ROM out there is universal to galaxy s III unless the DEVer says it otherwise.
Just be careful with all those variants as American / Canadian S3, S3 international, S3 LTE. etc.
But in this case we are talking about International version which is GT-i9300
And actually, root it means put su binary and superuser control apps into system, it is not ROM related.

it's better if you just root your device
just be careful about the model of your device.

As long as the ROM is for the I9300/I9300T version of the SIII and you got an I9300/I9300T you can flash them, independent from which country they are. The only thing you might want to look at, if the ROM comes with a baseband from another country, is to maybe flash a baseband of your region (in case reception gets worse).
Read the FAQ for guides on how to flash, root, unroot etc.
And what is your point.? If your phone is working properly you dont have to care where your rom is.
Elsewhere to root you have guides on xda. And root has nothing to do directly with your problem you can flash à stock rom And modem with odin.

Thanks for clearing that up
The phone works fine I was just concerned that OTA updates would be for Brazil and not UK so figured I would put correct version of rom on my phone, I already downloaded I9300XXEMC2_BTU_i9300 from sam mobile.
Still find it odd tham Amazon.co.uk are selling the phones with non UK rom but it seems this doesn't matter
Thanks for help anyway, I am going to investigate other options mentioned in this post :fingers-crossed:

I wasn't sure if updates etc would work properly on OTA as I have a Brazilian rom
I had an S1 before this and only had phone a few days, my S1 was flashed with a custom rom, but baseband was always the same.
I want to root this so I can get native emocions by dropping the fonts in the relevant directory and also so I have a wider choice of what I want to run in the future regarding custom roms

Thanks for this reply, it tells me everything I was unsure about :victory:
The baseband is to do with csc?
Am I able to backup my curent rom and settings in unrooted form?

OTA updates the firmware you have if its Brazil then thats the update BTU then that's the update .
OTA will not update on rooted phones use Kies instead .

Baseband and CSC are two different things, don't worry about the CSC too much as said earlier, you only need to if you want OTA updates when unrooted . Baseband = modem.

Usually all basebands are compatible with every rom (as long as you choose the correct android version). Hence just try and see if you reception is ok, otherwise flash a different one, there is a thread on the general section for that.

In addition, use Triangle Away by Chainfire (thanks to him) to reset the counter and do not restart the phone between using TriangleAway and flashing the stock firmware.
I already tried that, but my device is not rooteado nor accepts the root process.
I've been the original Software on technical assistance and yet he does not recognize the Root, simply pops up a message saying that my Android has changed and I will not be able to receive updates ...
Have you flashed stock rom via Odin??

Yes, but the problem persists ...

What is the exact problem now .
rooting resetting rom counter flashing stock firmware ??
Post is very confusing .
jje
The equipment is working perfectly, but he does not accept the root procedure. When he does step by Odin all procedures, but it is not rooteado the root disappears and a message appears saying that my rom was changed.
He is not routed over the counter scoring 9 goals this root.
I am using the original ROM from Samsung.
Sorry complication, I'm using Google translator, so that it gets weird ....
Now appreciate the help.
What root have you tried others .
What phone model ???
Odin says your rom was changed ??
Original rom from Samsung in what format did you save it .

Follow root guides. You need to use cf root or cf auto root.

Enquire with the person you bought it from about this issue. See if he had similar problems too. Also try a different firmware (another JB version, or even ICS or GB). Good luck!

signal hasnt dropped since yesterday i will monitor it over the next few days it normally only happens every few days
EDIT signal dropped earlier tonight turned phone off removed battery and sim turned back on and it was still gone for about 30 minutes then eventually came back
got a new sim card today same number and network, i had coverage for about 2 hours then it dropped, took out battery and sim put it back and battery went from 40% to 12% but coverage is back for now
UPDATE
my phone will now relock itself every few days sometimes a few times a day, it also looses the imei number so i have to constantly restore the efs and unlock it again with galaxsunlock any suggestions?

Do you have a copy of your efs folder? If yes you can try restore it with an app called krool. Some problems of signal are caused for corrupted files in this folder.

im just wanting stock as im gonna sell it.
Just go to the Odin thread,read that and get the program.Then go to sammobile,join then fill in the 4 boxes to get the suitable firmware meant for your phone.
Have a look at a guide about say updating from GB to JB,so you know when to factory reset/script clean to avoid any conflicts,and remove sensitive data.....since your selling it.

Thanks man , so do u have any suggestions ? And any idea why I'm getting these issues ??
Never tick the re-partition option, it can brick your phone.
For your issues I would first recommend a factory reset from inside rom - settings, accounts. This will format internal sd card so backup your data to external sd.
If still the same then download the full GML2 rom from sammobile, check md5 then flash using odin. Follow the instructions in the official rom thread (general forum) exactly.
In each case test before you restore/install any apps or mods.
