One of my close friend's bf bought Galaxy S3 to her but there is no Android Market in it...
Its include HiMarket and when i try to open it it has an error (com.yyapk.Appstore) closed unexpectedly and i cant open it...
I wanna install new rom on the phone but there is more than one label for Galaxy S3 and i dont know which one of ours...
Somewhere in internet somebody give some codes to refine versions but anyone of those codes didnt work on this phone...
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..
Cyanogized HTC 1X
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..

When i type *#1234# then i click dial, i get "Connection Problem or MMI Code Not Valid" error...
sorry but it's a fake... flashing anything will most likely brick it.
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?

Flash again - but be 100% certain the ROM you are using is for the precise version of S3 that you have!

do you still have warranty on your phone?
if it has, follow this guide so that you dont have to pay any fee
1. flash stock firmware and root it
2. after rebooted connect usb otg cable with usb mouse attach to it so you can navigate the screen on your phone.
3. install triangleaway and reset the binary counter on download mode.
4. after resetting the binary to no or 0, unroot your phone using supersu.apk and uninstall triangleaway
5. after unroot factory reset your phone.
6. you have to use again the usb otg to pass the welcome screen after factory reset
7. you are now ready go to the shop and claim warranty.

So nobody solve this problem yet?
Ok i had this problem days ago, unfortunately after putting the wrong file for rooting, the touchscreen doesnt work at startup screen.. This is harfware problwm u have to change the lcd and difitizer... Hard to believe but its true after wrong rooting seen blue flicking, i think it damages the chips oh well it made my pocket burn replacing one lol.
I finally get back my charming s3 with the warranty claim! Tq very much chris.
Ironically,i ask my friend about my phone problem,he say that its not about the hardware damage,but software,specifically,kernel.he said that i can just flash stock firmware through kies (not odin) to get thing back normal again.i did not do this method coz i already got my repaired s3.. so anyone encounter this problem maybe should try the method,perhaps?

yes try the kies method first before sending for repair.
but i dont think it will solve by kies update if you got the brick by flashing wrong cfautoroot.
maybe if you got the brick from flashing rom maybe it can be fix,

you dont have warranty on your phone? if you have, you dont have to pay for service repair for it in claiming warranty.
Today i`ve got a new galaxy s2 , white one now heh , after hardbricking the last one , one week ago...aaand ofc i cant help myself but to try and root it again. Now , i have found this site http://www.unlockroot.com/unlockroot.html and downloaded that program and everything .. the question is , is this safe to use ? No hardbrick on it ? What do you guys think ?
Ooor can someone show me a 100% safe way to do it ? I dont wanna kill another phone lol and now im kinda scared to just try anything i find D:
There are hundreds of threads about rooting your phone on xda, so why are you posting about using another method on a different site.
Maybe you could send a PM to theathiest and ask him to flash that on his phone to find out if it works/is safe. ........LOL
Maybe because i have ****ed up an sg2 before trying to install something from this site and now i want it to be 100% safe ? Anywayz , apparently im on the 4.0.3 version and that seems to be hardbrick free right ? If thats the case , that means i can root the phone using any method ?
Mate just flash syiah 4.0+ or dorimanx 5.92 via Odin and u get root or just update to jb via kies or download and flash via Odin then root u got few kernels for jb with root and jb is brick bug free kernels too good luck

Don't repeat your mistakes again - learn to understand what you're doing before doing anything risky on you new phone. No one can prevent you from bricking it, only you can, by knowing what you're doing.

That's way before u do anything learn how to do u know that that's best way u know since first day I got my s2 I root and went custom and from that day I read to learn before I do that's best way to avoid problems

Just use a "safe" Kernel and everthings okay. But check if the Kernel is the right one for your Firmware Version...
Aight , thanks for the feedback guys , i`ll think about rooting it again , keeping in mind that the official 4.1.2 its gonna come soon and it will pawn , so i guess i wont need root and a custom rom ... maybe only for deleting those god damn stock apps.
It is almost impossible to brick your phone if you stay away from .pit files and ticking re-partition in odin.

Hey Guys,
Had a problem with my Galaxy S3-I9300, it wasn't charging, turning off on it's own, wouldn't turn on and etc.
I took my phone to a repair shop where I still had insurance. They fixed the phone and everything looked good until I tried updating my firmware, then I found out they rooted my phone without even telling me.
When I asked them why the did it they said that they changed some "electrical component" and without root my phone won't have any reception and internet (is that even possible?).
My questions are:
Is it true what they are telling me?
Can I still update my firmware some how?
Can I unroot the phone for the firmware update and then root it again?
Update:
I just got an update from the store that when they "fixed" the problem, the electronic number (IEMI?) disappeared and that's why they didn't have a reception, to get it back they had to use root.
How is that even possible?
I really appreciate your help, I really don't know who else to ask about this.
Thank you!

1. No, root has nothing to do with reception (Unless they changed your radio - which could be possible, but still nothing related to root)
2. Yes, use Odin and flash the stock firmware from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares - you'll need to register.
3. Yes, but better to just use point 2.
Good luck!

Its simple. If your phone is rooted, and you have a custom recovery create a FULL nandroid backup and save it to your PC. Then read the unrooting thread and completely unroot your phone. First by running triangle away app reset your flash counter, then factory reset your phone, and flash the latest firmware available for your country(you can also cross check modem and CSC codes) via odin. All details are in the thread i mentioned. If the issues fixed by the company show up, reroot your phone and flash a custom recovery like CWM. Copy the nandroid backup to phone and restore. No harm done and you will find out if they are lying or not.
To update OTA you need to be fully stock and unrooted. Otherwise you can downlaod the firmware for your device at www.sammobile.com and flash via odin. As for your last question yes you can but there isnt much practicality in that.

Without download mode you will need a usb jig or jtag. Sounds like you probably flashed the wrong file to get that effect, in which case you do have a hard brick.
