IDK if anyone has had this issue before, but I purchased a GT-I9300 and it is missing all the samsung apps (all the S-Apps and other things that make the S3 the S3). I called Samsung and told them what happened, and they wanted to shaft me with $50. Anybody got any idea what I can do for this? Everything else works fine. I am going to try saywhatt's apps to see if I can get all the stuff I am missing on the phone in. Just in case anyone else has an idea as to what to do in my case.
Thanks in advance :cyclops:
U can download `em manually.Google it up.

Sounds like its not a new phone or a fake to me .
What is your firmware details ??? settings about phone

You can also flash a Stock rom via Odin. But first check if your phone is the real deal. Like "JJEgan" said Go to setting > About Device... and let us know what Model Number, Android Version, Baseband, Kernel, and Firmware you have.

Custom Build Version:1359856456
Like I said before, tried googling & I'm double checking that I am taking the correct steps to put the right stuff on there on here. I'm currently trying to fish out the .apk's I may need to install but I need to look through the manual to see what I am missing. I previously had a G2X which I managed to get to CM 10 thanks to the wizards here, but I just got this phone, and it seems to be running ICS. It just doesn't have as many apps as it should out of the box.
Another thing I think may be worthy of noting is that it has "Samsung Apps" in the home screen but it says it does not install.
Thanks again for the swift responses.

This is knock off device and not a real S3 The reason they are not there is that most likely the device doesnt have the hardware to support it. Thos device normally come with around 500 mb of ram and that is not even close to enough to run the samsung apps. Mix in that 4.1.9 is not an official build of android so you most likely will have issues with google based apps.

Once Samsung gets it they will return it to you unaltered. The min they see it is a knock off device they will refuse to do anything with it.
As for the IMEI that is easily faked and knock offs are known to use copied IMEI numbers to fool the buyers into thinking it is legit. If I were you I would toss it on Ebay and get another device.
Too many people looking for a cheap high end device and they end up with a POS that is equal to a toaster. Please make sure you know what you are buying before you buy it. You will find almost no help/support/or anything for those devices anywhere.

T-Mobile version is completely different hardware - OMAP4!
In a week or two you should start seeing ROM ports from the GT-I9100 - the differences aren't significant and in fact userland might be 100% compatible (except for the NFC stuff, which is probably only in our ROM.)
Seriously - we just got our first good stock kernel dump 2 hours ago. Expecting OS upgrades already is a LITTLE bit impatient...

How To Update Samsung Galaxy S2 i777 with Gingerbread 2.3.5 Firmware
Yeah, I'm a noob. I just received the SGS2 via AT&T web store. I'll be happy to thank anyone that can help (see I watched your video).
Has anyone done this? I've looked on this site and can't find any info for this technique. I don't want to root the phone at this time. I'd just like to get into the Amazon AppStore which is suppose to be possible with Android 2.3.5

You can download and install the amazon app store just fine on the stock att device. Go to settings, applications, and check Unknown Sources. If you go to Amazon's site they will text you a link to download the app.

once you have unknown sources checked, point your phone's browser to www.amazon.com/amazonappstoreapp and it should start the download
or you could flash Perception...It is a port of KI3 from the i9100 forum.
tchan012, you're a genius! At the minimum a heck 'o lot smarter than I. Thanks, that did the trick. I was able to D/L the Amazon Appstore app. And then the app.
Mucho thanks.
Another query. Is the only way to see where files are stored on the phone via usb cable to a computer, would be to root the phone? I found a few apps I'd like to drop into the phone via usb cable/computer but can't find the apps already on the phone.
Being a noob is frustrating.
Accidentally quoted myself instead of editing, see below. vvvv
Whoops tried to edit not quote.
quarlow said:
You cannot see certain parts of the internal memory through the USB cable (even with root). But, you can copy over the apk files and install them on the phone. Then you can delete the apks.
You may be able to see where the apps are without root access, but you will only have read access to that folder unless you root. That's fine though, you don't want to touch those files unless you know what you are doing, deleting the wrong files will really mess up your phone.
Best way to install apps is to download the apk directly on the phone, then open it. It will install for you. Or, download on your computer and copy to your phone over USB, then open the file on your phone. I use astro as a file manager to locate and open the files, its free on the market and has lots of great features.
Hope this helps. You won't be a n00b for long, you'll pick it up quick.

Thanks quarlow, I'll hunt down Astro and give it a whirl. I can see very few files via the usb cable. I haven't tried renaming or moving anything as you say, it could be like running through the registry of windows and deleting various files and watching windows freeze forever.
Here's hoping my noobiness wears off soon.
In a couple of months I'll feel comfy 'nough to root the sucker.
It certainly is a cool phone.
If you want to make apps a part of the ROM itself (be VERY careful with this), you need root.
If you just want to "sideload" apps - root is not needed, just enabling Unknown Sources. Once you do that, you can install apps from file managers, the browser, or using ADB. (USB Debugging)
For more on ADB, if you're a Windows user you may want to check out Droid Explorer.
Thanks for the info. Are we there yet? <oops sorry, talking to the wife, she's driving...>
4 months ago i've rooted my Galaxy S3 international (I-9300). Before rooting i took a nandroid backup of the Samsung's ICS. Then i flashed CM10 and recently (1 month ago) i flashed CM10.1. Everything was working OK (except some issues that come with the CM10-10.1). I also came against the SOD (Screen of Death) but as the devs warned us i was OK with that. From time to time i flashed a newer version of the CM10.1 nightly (recent one was 4th of Jan 2013).
Today as i was sitting in my office i picked up my device and pressed the power button just to check the time. The device did not respond and i presumed that it was another case of SOD. So i removed my battery and put it back inside as i always did when a SOD occured. I long-pressed the power button but nothing happened. I went to the nearest Samsung supplier and i bought a brand new Samsung battery to replace the old one but the device never powered up. Now i am stack with a device that cannot power up. I cannot get into download mode as well.
Is it a case of a bricked device? If it is, is there anything i can do to bring it back to life?
Thanks in advance!
In this case you cannot do much....take it to center and require motherboard replacement, if its case of brickbug it will he warranty covered....right now im interested if you flashed XXELLA or newer bootloader or did you flash kernel compiled from 7th source from samsung?

Sudden death, all you can do is get a motherboard replacement at a service center, however they may never know you flashed CM10.1 because the NAND is dead.

Thanks for the quick reply but i am not sure i can help you with the bootloader! I am not an advanced user. I just used Odin v3.04 to flash CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4. When i finally rooted my device i downloaded the CM10 and afterwards the CM10.1 rom and flashed it along with the GAPPS. And then i used a program to match the modem with the RIL (XXDLID). Ofcourse i fixed permissions.
One thing i need to know? Does the phone stays in the warranty if you root it?

You mean that i shouldnt say anything about root and CM10.1 right?
Also, is there a way for the technicians to find out that i've rooted the device and flashed CM10.1? I mean on a device that it cant even power on!
ps: i live in Cyprus (small island in the meditteranean sea) , so there isnt any advanced service center to examine my motherboard (at least i hope so).

Don't mention it, don't say anything about firmware, if they ask play dumb and just say the latest version, it's up to them to prove your warranty is void, also is Cyprus in the EU? If so check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092530&highlight=eu
In short for your warranty to be voided by flashing Samsung has to prove that it was CM10.1 that caused the problem.
I don't think this will be needed though because your NAND is completely dead so it will be extremely hard if possible for them to prove you flashed anything.

I will not mention a thing about firmware and CM hoping they dont find it out.

Yes you will be on touchwiz, but you can always change that

Samsung should worry about their skin, because i am a user that rooted his device to flash a custom ROM, then the device is not booting by any means and i am thinking to root it again after the motherboard is replaced!!
By the way, the problem on the motherboard is caused 100% because i root the device??

No it is not caused by rooting your device. Your case is a typical Sudden Death Syndrome one. For more info go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2091045
You said that the last CM 10.1 you installed was from 04.01.13? Well in that case the Samsung Update7 source wasn`t applied yet to CM10.1 Kernel, so the Kernel was not secure.

Yes there is a problem with a specific type of eMMC chips in the SIII. There is plenty of evidence now that Samsung fixed this issue with the Update7 Source release and most S3 Kernels have this fix by now. You can read it in detail by clicking the link I posted a couple of posts ago.
I hope that they will repair your device without any problems but they should and if you couldn`t even access download mode it`s pretty much impossible to find out that you had Root or a custom ROM installed.

Some people are saying that the kernel fixes it some are saying they havent, but the service center should fix it because its a known problem.
Also the latest kernel has only been rolled out in UK and Spain. If there has not been a stock update available in your country there is really nothing they can do.

Hey guys,
I have a similar problem except that my screen turns on and shows the Galaxy S3 logo when I try to power it on but it won't go further (shows logo until I pull the battery). It doesn't boot into recovery either but I can start download mode.
The phone just turned off while I was listening to music. I think I was running Omega v27.
So my question is: Should I try flash a stock ROM since I can boot into download mode? And is this even "sudden death"?
Thanks in advance!

To me...This sounds like a kernel issue. I've had similar issues when testing kernels I'm building. That is if the mega runs fine when actually on and functioning. Here's a trick to know if the mods done prior to purchase involved modifying the kernel.
When the mega shuts down and won't boot...plug it into the charger ...let it cycle thru and show the little battery icon level meter...then start it back up...If it boots without hard reset we can go from there.

The parenthesis and colored area of Baseband and Build numbers are the things I found are different, my mom has this same exact phone and her build number ends with AMI4 just like her baseband, Which is the STOCK from the Cricket store. I cannot find this rom and I don't want to root her phone in order to copy the rom.
Really the only problem with this rom I installed is that it is amg1, and not ami4, so it is not completely compatible. Example: My Wifi, and Bluetooth no longer turn on and cannot function at all. Which is a feature I kind of need.
Here's the real question: Can someone get a real stock rom of this Cricket Galaxy Admire 2. with the build number ending with AMI4 and not AMG1.
I've heard it called "Second generation hardware" or something from another thread, but still cannot find a real stock rom for this phone.
Though I havn't seen many posts with this phone posting the build number, and baseband versions, so the stock rom's that people upload would vary, though they all seem to be the AMG1 version.
I have no idea if this is in the right category or not of the forums, so if it isn't maybe a mod or someone can move it to the right place.

Didn't you backup your stock rom, before doing something nasty?

No lol, I downloaded some toolbox to kinda tweak some system stuff, and it got stuck in a boot loop, so I just downloaded whatever Rom I found that would work with this thing.
I am kind of new to tweaking with android and phones in general, so I didn't really care about backing up the stock at the time, didn't even think about it really, though I also didn't expect the tool to completely soft-brick my phone xD

I can't find any custom roms for this device..
I tried to install a new custom rom on my Samsung Galaxy GT-18730 (thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792157), it asked me to install and flash a baseband thing with odin, which I did. Because of that, I can't get any audio from my phone, can't play videos, and I can't send or receive calls even when I restore to my original official android. How do I get that custom thing off so I can get my sound and stuff back?
It seems that the inconsitency of the sound working for some and not others revolves around whether you have the "T" version of the phone or not. You didn't mention which you have but I would look into that. You already know the thread for it because I saw your posts there.

What do you mean by "T"?
8730 vs 8730T

Mine is 8730.
Please check what baseband is installed now, what region your phone is from, and if your IMEI is still listed correctly. I'd like to list the first 2 but not the IMEI, obviously, just5 whether it's still there after you restored the stock rom. If not, that's other mess. And the region matters because certain Samsung phones act weird with basebands and other files from different ones even though it is from the same system update version.

Baseband: I8730XWAMK1, that's what they told me to install on the thread.
Region.. well, I'm not sure where it's "from", but I live in the Caribbean.
