You have right.
#edzaskadka
When you press theses buttons ( hold home + volume down + power button) => you are on the download mode already
thank you
but when i enter that factory mode(download mode)
i get a menu where is
Full Test
Item Test
Test Report
Clear eMMC
Version
Reboot
So what should i enter if i want to update trough Odin.Or i should just stay in that Menu?
It's probably just a fake chinese clone then
Go to settings/about phone and post details please
Details from settings about phone should tell if its another fake .

If the phone is a true galaxy s3 the model number should be GT- I9300 not a number 1 as above. A quick google search for a GT-19300 bring up the words 'fake' and 'clone' ... that sucks.
definitely a clone, samsung uses a completely different version naming principle

That was my bad, i was writing really fast
it does say GT-I9300
I really don't think that it is a fake, because the camera is incredible, like it should be on a samsung galaxy s3
It looks exactly like a real thing not those clones, plus the performance, it feels like a quad core processor, because it never lags.Then there is the software it self, which is exactly like it should be.And the voice search is spot on either. And i checked the IMEA as well and it showed that it is genuine.
so does it have Smart Stay, Swipe to capture, Direct call, Smart alert and other samsung features? No? It's a fake.

Your choice but its not an I9300 so do not flash any firmware from here .
Via Google plenty more will say the same plenty identical posts on this forum as well .
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...
. To check use antutu from the play store, you can check the specs and post back here
XDA may even have a forum for China SG3 .

try to use Samsung codes like *#1234# or *#0*#
it is a fake after all because I only got 3803 benchmark score,and I think it should be smth like 15000 points
of course it is.

when i turn the phone off, hold down vol - home button and powers button the phone goes to a screen with an android on its back with a exclamation mark in a red triangle if i then press the home button i get the android system recovery list (3e) and can move up and down the list but the home button doesn't seem to select anything.
the phone works works fine but have a few annoying Chinese app on it i cant install hence the reason I want to put 4.1 on it

First of all, check if you have a genuine Galaxy S III using this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alxdroiddev.gs3identity
(it is also available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1976814)
If you get a "No match" message, you have a fake Galaxy S III.

Hi all.
I am going to buy a Samsung Galaxy SIII. But the problem is that there are lot of fake versions around the market.
So my question is, Is there any particular method/secret code to identify original Samsung Galaxy SIII vs Clone/ Fake Samsung Galaxy SIII.
Thanks.
Price is the first giveaway, but suggest you grab a photo of the insides with back cover off so you can compare.
Check imei on phone and box
Check firmware version, kernel etc in settings/about phone.
Check memory capacity in settings/storage
If it's cheap it's either fake/stolen/has problems
Use 3 button combo to boot into recovery and check it is stock 3e recovery
Check download mode and system status etc.......that's all I can think of now, will edit if more comes to mind.
Obviously check all hardware, camera, sound, gyro if you can, etc
With this apk you can be sure, if your SGS III original or not:
Galaxy SIII Identity v1.0.3
or here:
GS III Identity : Real or Fake

I would suggest you to wait for s4 or go for any other model which has 2GB RAM....buying S3 at this point of time is not a good idea.

Thanks all for the replies.. :good::good::good:
Got the following output from the apk you provided. I don't know maybe I'm just being paranoid but isn't the CPU supposed to be quad core arm v9 or something like that. Saw this one here is a dual core arm v7. I was able to put it in download mode and installed the JB 4.1.2 Stock rom with ease.
Reason for my worry is that this phone is very slow, my Galaxy S2 performed better than this even when I installed the Official Jellybean ROM. PLEASE HELP ME

Hi!
I was previously using MyPhoneEplorer to control my phone via my desktop. This is when I'm still running in everything stock and unrooted.
Yesterday I was able to have my phone run in CyanogenMod 10.1 and Siyah 1.9.1 and everything is good except when I tried to use MyPhoneExplorer I can't control my phone anymore. The phone and the client in desktop is still syncing, it's just the "Control Phone" that won't work. Also, whenever I control my phone, the client can see the screen changes but clicking on an app for example doesn't make the phone to do it.
Here's my phone before custom ROM
Model Number : GT-I9300
Android version : 4.1.2
Baseband version : I9300DXELK1
Kernel version : 3.0.31-836582
Build number : JZO54K.I9300XXEMA2
Here's my phone after custom ROM
Model Number : GT-I9300
Android version : 4.2.2
Baseband version : I9300DXELK1
Kernel version : 3.0.31-Siyah-1.9.1+
Build number : cm-19300-userdebug 4.2.2 JDQ39E eng.jenkins.20130717.005050 test-keys
I hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance!
I've the same problem after the latest release (4) on my GT-9100. I hope someone can help...

I cannot write yet on the development forum
The developer of the app .
Not the development forum unless its an XDA mod .
Contact the developer of the app .
Probable reply it does not work with 4.2.2 as 4.2.2 is not yet released by Samsung .

ok thank you
I have a cheap china clone of the Samsung S3 phone. It claims to be:
Model GT-i9300
Android version 4.1.1
BASEBAND VERSION - MAU1.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V12.2012/09/20 18:56
kernel3.0.13 - [email protected] #1 wed feb 27 14.44.52 cst 2013
build number - ALPS.ICS.MP.V2.6
CUSTOM BUILD 001130227
DEVELOPER DEVICE ID - JA56-JNR6-NEDN-C
Am not too sure about the Android version, maybe 4.0.3 and someone altered the build.prop to make the phone sell better. Phone came with a fake Antutu program to display fake results. Can anyone advise how to actually check the system for correct version?
It has an MTK6575 CPU(appears to be 1.2MHz), single micro-sim, with 540 by 960 display, front and rear cameras.
Came with many software problems, have managed to get the WiFi stable, however still some problems with the GPS chip, but eventually got YGPS to obtain a fix and give me a location – but very unreliable. Not managed to get any other software to work.
PROBLEM 1
However, when I use google Maps, it always want to install the Google Play Services, so that it has the V2. This always fails due to error "incompatible with other application(s) using the same shared user ID".
It seems to be complaining about Google Framework as this and play services both specify
<shared-user name="com.google.uid.shared" > - not found any other programs/system bits using shared ID's
could a poorly doctored build.prop be causing this?
Has anyone a solution to this problem?
PROBLEM 2
The other problem I have noticed is that MediaTek seem to have their own location services. In mobile tools, engineering mode, there is an option to use either Google or MediaTek. If I specify Google, it states that the goggle Netloc and Geocoder services’ Fail to bind’, but no problem with the MediaTek drivers? As MediaTek only divert their traffic to Google anyway, it would seem more sensible to bind with google direct.
Has anyone a solution to this problem?

the problem seems to be with the firmware and build search the net for a stock firmware for your phone if there is one and flash may be that helps

The problem with these 'unnamed' clones is that there isn't any stock firmware, you get only what it comes with. Usually this is 'defective' as they rush to sell the phones while there is still a demand for them, and never get the firmware working properly. So some advice if you are looking for a smartphone/tablet, ONLY BUY ONE WITH SOME SORT OF AFTER SALES SUPPORT! Check the forums and see what phones have stock ROMS that are being actively developed.
PROBLEM 3
The LocationManger never reports any 'NETWORK' location. Wrote software to check it, can get a location when I run this on a tablet with only a WiFi connection, but on this phone with both WiFi and Cell, no location provided.
Has anyone a solution to this problem?
Update
PROBLEM 1 - SOLVED
guessed that it was really ICS and not JB, so loaded gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip with CMW
this got over the shared user ID problem.
However, lost the IMEI number when doing this, (maybe clearing dalvik, not looked into) so reinstated with the MTKDroidTools.
SO RECORD YOUR IMEI BEFORE applying update.
Now thinks it is dual sim version, but that doesn't seem to matter
Now using the new Google Location software, GPS fix from COLD within 2 mins.
so problems 2 and 3 seem immaterial now.
see this post for solution to fix problem 1 ... created by brother @praderj
