Normally you can see all that in Settings > About Device.
For further viewing download an app from the Play Store.

ur phone will only brick if u use any rom/kernel meant for I9100G since it has a diff hardware altogether
u have to look for ROM/KERNELS meant for I9100(international version or its variants like M/P/T etc)
never try anything meant for I9100G on ur phone
Yep ofc it will break it

Multiple China phone posts on here .
Its either a fake or if real you need to change the firmware .
Note changing the firmware for China models is as i understand it not the same as flashing a stock rom .

The IMEI maybe original. That does not mean the phone is an S3.

Hi all,
Have an samsung s3 from orange and want to use it on 02. It is brand new, and is updated to version 4.1.2
Could someone be so kind as to point me in the direction of the best way to approach this..unlock or root etc?
As i say, all iwant is to be able to use the phone on 02 as it is prelocked.
Many thanks
Steve
have a search for Galaxsim unlock.
It seems to be a proven way to unlock although I have never used it.
Good luck

This is I9300 Q&A not I9305 Q&A .

PROBLEM SOLVED.
TO CHECK WHETHER YOUR DEVICE IS I9300 or SHV-E210L:
1. Open the messaging application and check if the messaging has an 80-character limit.
2. Open Settings - About Phone and click Status and check Device Status (if its SHV-E210 it'll say Custom in device status)
3. Check if RAM is 1GB or 2GB. If 1GB then its I9300. If 2GB then SHV-E210.
4. Switch on Mobile Data (2G only) and if GPRS comes then its SHV-E210, if EDGE is activated then its GT-I9300.
5. Lastly boot into download mode and check the Model Status.
Model is under the battery .
Also settings about phone details .
2GB RAM not I9300 .
its a i9305 if it has 2 gig ram O.O

It can't be I9305, I9305 has an LTE antenna at the top. This doesn't.

Check your imei here: http://www.imei.info/ and see what type of S3 you really have.

I just did a factory reset and everything is still the same, except the Device Status shows 'Custom' in the About Phone menu.

See what is written on the product code first. If you flash a stock firmware that is not compatible with your phone you may just brick your device.

Thank you so much for the help man! I booted into download mode and the download mode is written in Korean.
Also, the device there says: SHV-E210L
System Status: Custom
Thanks again for reminding me I could check through Download mode.
Best part is that the Android 4.3 update for the E210L has been released

Sorry lol, that was a typo.
SHV-E120L: Galaxy S II HD LTE (A friend of mine has this phone)
SHV-E210K/L/S: All Korean variants of the Galaxy S III. They all look exactly like the normal I9300 S III except they have 2GB RAM.
