How do you know you have built a fake SGS3
Or are you asking how to tell a fake SGS3 >>That is usually by totally wrong firmware details .

That sucks.
Complaints should be addressed to Samsung and the Vendor ASAP .
Nobody on XDA has a solution for failed hardware .

You have to find a Rogers rom somewhere, maybe on www.sammobile.com/firmware and flash it with Odin. Or else google around. This forum is for the Inernational version of the S3. Look in the US/Canadian thread.
You`re in luck here you find info:
PDA:I727RUXLF3
CSC:I727RRWCLF3
Phone: I727RUXLF3
Android Version: 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich
source: Samsung Canada
*facepalm*
Well that explains your problem.
That rom is for the INTERNATIONAL VERSION ONLY.
This forum is for the INTERNATIONAL VERSION ONLY.
your need the version for the north American version.

See post 4 above and find a rogers rom in the US forum and flash it with Odin. I would get a jig to get into downloadmode.

Best bet is to head over to the forum for the at&t, sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon versions, nothing you will get here will work for your phone, they all share the same hardware whereas the international one is completely different.

The you'll need a jtag. Search for a repair shop nearby and ask them if they can jtag your phone. Costs a few bucks but allows you to access download mode again.

Which box to use for imei repair?

Hi, can someone please tell which box should I buy now to change/repair IMEI number for S3 I9300? As I have read Z3X doesn't have full support at the moment, so which one then? Octopus, SPT?
P.S. I'm not asking for the information on how to do it, I'm only asking for advice on boxes. I know that its illegal in some countries but its not legal in my county
Thank You
anyone please? I'm just asking for a box advice, just tell me please which box is supported by S3 i9300
Have you made an EFS-back up?

korean to international

Hello there i was wondering is there any chance of changing the s3 korean firmware to european .
Next week i'm getting a korean s3 but i really want to change the firmware
Now I have a s2 that was 250s and then i changed it to i9100
Well i googled and searched in xda forums but i didn't found anything about it
Is it possible to change the firmware with flashing the korean kernel for it . Or the radio chip stuff is like mars and venus
No, because your phone doesn't have the same hardware with International one.

Yeah, just download an europian firmware from http://www.samfirmware.com by searching "I9300" and flash it with Odin. You need to sign up to download the firmware.

no pit file needed ?? working fine?
Sorry, messed up, if your model number isn't I9300 it will potentially brick it.

One more question it will be EMMC bug or just firmware bug?
M440S can ron i9300 roms and kernels.
Adding to above, M440S can flash I9300 Roms provided you convert the kernel. There is a Korean s3 user thread so look over the re

True . Still I bought gt-i9300 lol so that is not a problem anymore . I have a question again . What is the advantages of having branded s3 between unbranded s3
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Not much? If you're rooted anyway. Not gonna get updates early if you're branded. But custom roms sort that out.
No noticeable difference when it comes to actual usage

Again a personal question . I used CF-root for stock kernel on my gt-i9100 because syiah , philz seems to lag . Did on my i9300 too . I understand that they have more battery life , but overclocking them leads to fast battery drain , is that right? So i prefer staying stock. Well i don't play with my phone , i play with my gtab 7500 more
If you don't need the extra performance, no need to overclock. I did it for the heck of it then realised I don't actually need it so went back to stock. Overclocking does lead to faster drain but some kernels also provide under volt support so they kind of negate each other in terms of battery.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
So undervolting could save battery in theory? I heard it destroys the battery even the phone in whole .
Heard too much stories of dead phone because of undervolting and overclocking. Because of idiots putting overclocking and undervolting on maximum. But they just dont know what are they doing.
Thanks a lot . Sorry for so much bothering

Battery calibration is a hoax .
Battery calibrates itself over a week or so .

no need to calibirate then thanks ! In mongolian phone shops we have a chinese battery with more mhA(like+300) and i have tested so far . The charging goes approximatly 6 hours when the original takes 4 can it damage phone particles . I have to assure undervolting goes without problem . From what volt should i start . I m asking because i work in mining geological team and the reason i bought this phone is the gps glonass
