Hi Guys,
Please Help!!! I have this S3 which I bought off ebay to fix. The sticker at the back behind the battery says
Model:gt-I9300
FCC ID:A3LGTI9300A
SSN: -I9300GSMH
But,When I start the phone it says Samsung Gt-I9300T. I am in the UK. So what exactly is the model of my phone?
Is it possible the person has flashed the wrong rom and hence I get GT-I9300T ?
Also , the battery does not charge when I plug it in.However I am able to get into download mode when on charge.Does
that mean the battery is dead?
Thanks a lot for reading.Your reply is greatly appreciated.

Your post is in the wrong forum .
Battery does not charge = faulty battery or faulty charger slim chance its a phone fault .
Change the charger then change the battery .

Thanks for the quick reply.The problem is, the phone is soft bricked so I cannot get to settings to check.Hence I want to know which firmware is the right one for me
as it states I9300 behind the sticker and I9300T when I start the phone and I get stuck on GtI9300 T.
Thanks for the quick reply.Could you please tell me which is my right model number as I don't have anyway to know apart from someone who has good knowledge like yourself..

It says I9300 under the battery .
A search would tell you to flash I9300 firmware .
If it is a T model you may need to flash a T Modem .

Yes I knew about the bit about flashing a I9300 firmware.It is the T I am confused about .As stated earlier I want to know if mine is an International version or some other one because it lists gt-i9300 behind the sticker and gt-i9300t when the screen turns on.

Hi Guys,
Brand new Galaxy S3 user here and I've just Rooted my phone and I'm searching around on which ROM to flash. Only issue is that I have no idea which version I need in terms of ROM. I know when rooting my phone I followed a different guideline and I don't want to fubar up my phone. I'm with Rogers and I know I followed a US/Canadian guide...
When looking on the get.cm website I saw this
d2usc
Samsung Galaxy S III (US Cell)
which seems to be the closest thing to me but I just want to be sure.
Thanks,
This is International I9300 forum flashing firmware from here may brick another model .

What is the exact model number of your phone? (can be found in settings->about device)
SGH-I747M
I've found the SlimBean ROM for my phone but even that took a while to hunt down.
I tried searching on get.cm but I've found that it never actually gives me my provider (Rogers).

So here is the right forum for your phone
You, kind sir, are a god among men.
I have no idea how I didn't see that before.
I purchased the above phone in China 3 weeks ago to use in the USA. Everything is in Chineese, and even when I go to the internet it uses the China internet browser. How do I change the software over to the US version? There is no sim card, and the phone has never been activated.
Android version 4.0.4, Baseline i9300ZNLH3, Kernel 3.0.15-1038370-user, build number IMM76D.I9300ZNBLH3.
if the chineese s3 version is smilar to the international s3 you can use the normal method to flash roms with odin in download mode. use forum search.
check product code backside your s3 behind battery
This is what is behind battery:
GT-I9300
CMIIT ID: 2012CP2597
Yup, the model is i9300 which is the international model, meaning you can just download a stock rom from any English-speaking country and flash it and when you reboot the phone it'll give you the option to set everything up in English.
Unless of course, you bought a counterfeit (China's pretty well known for making them) in which case I wish you the best of luck xD
Cool, I will search the posts and figure out how as I am a newbe and never done that before, Thanks for all the help.
Check out "john4lakers" on youtube. He did a fake s3 video, compare yours.. Hope its not

Follow the instructions on these 2 sites:
http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s3/
http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-unroot/how-to-unroot-galaxy-s3-i9300/
The first site tells you how to root the phone so you can flash a ROM into it, and the 2nd site tells you how to flash a stock ROM and then unroot the phone in case you don't wanna void the warranty. The site from which you can download the ROM is in the 2nd site
Man, please delete your IMEI, somebody may use it to screw thing up with your phone.
i sent him a pm.. Didnt notice he posted the whole thing.. Need a mod to do it urgently !!!

As you can see I am a new at this. Took it off, hopefully not too late.
Should be ok, dont worry about it..
Any news on a fix?

Got thru the first root process, everything when well. Working on installing the stock firmware. Could not find a US version, downloading one for the Mexico region. Hope that will work. It is downloading now so I can finish the process of installing.
Just finished rooting and un-rooting. I had alittle trouble, but the video helped alot. It was succesful. I installed a Mexico version of the phone to get rid of the China version. My question is, is there a US version avilible? I notice alot of cautions about installing the US or Canada version on this phone, and they are specific to a carrier.
Maybe I am not understanding everything correctly. If I install a custom root, does that do teh same thing? I wanted to get rid of teh country specific icons for China and get to the US ones, and that has happened for the most part. Now the screens and wallpaper are showing the Mexico carriers name.
Sorry if these are basic questions.
This forum is for I9300 International model only .
Firmware that is not for I9300 model will brick your phone .
USA see sticky top of the forum .

can some1 help me with this phone its galaxy s2 wimax au ISW11SC already rooted...can you help me guys to install a rom on this phone....my firmware is ICS 4.0.4
Model number from the sticker on the phone chassis under the battery ? I don't recognise what you've written there & I'd be surprised if many people here would as well. Be prepared to get not very much help give you seem to have a rather obscure variant that few people here have seen.
Hi to all guys! (i'm italian...so sorry in advance for my bad english )
i'll tell you all the story before explain the problem.
One of my friends, give me this phone... i don't know the "Story" of the phone, but he told to me, that it wasn't stolen or anything like that.
Anyway the phone got 3 problems:
1)Battery cold (i got another one - solved)
2)Usb connector damaged (re-soldered - solved)
3)Network.
When i put my sim, i can see that i have 2/3 bar of signal, but i'm not registred on the network....if i do manually, i got "registred on the network" but it's not.
So i'm asking to you all....
1)A COMPLETE stock rom (PDA- MODEM - CSC) for this i9300 (Italy)
2)(if the problem it's still there after the flash) a good efs from another i9300....so i can replace it.
3) Any other help/suggest would be appreciated
Thanks in advance for the answers (you guys are great....i've solved a lot of problems to a lot of people....i'm a technician)
Keep it up ^^
P.S.
I saw the counter of this phone at 09....so i'm worried about the efs or the modem.
P.S 2
I've checked the IMEI with a pay service and the result was "Clean". So it's officially not blacklisted.
P.S 3
Not important but...I've installed meanwhile Rom: Cyan..11 and arter97 kernel...and i'm playing with it ^^"...still not fix the problem.

In the attachment you have the screenshots.
I use here in italy the operator "TIM".....so the firmware it need to be TIM or no brand (ITV).... i actually flashed that one as you can see.
P.S.
For the others....i've noticed (thanks to KaosMaster) that on the back of my phone there is an IMEI....and on the system info there is another....
I think the old owners have changed the IMEI for X reason.....anyway the actual imei is "clean" and not blacklisted.
Anyway the original IMEI (behind the phone) is: 353921057454795
The actual: 356260059752444
I'm no more interested to hide the imei....
i have to know why was changed and if is actually usable the new one (because it's clean) or i'll be forced to use it as spare parts for other s3 and it's a real shame....(i actually have a I9100 T_T)

Flash Boeffla Kernel. I am also face the problem. After flashing boeffla kernel i got my network back.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/kernel-boeffla-kernel-5-2-27-03-2014-t1964572
try this if u dont got the network let me know
sorry for my bad english
This is known problem while your device serial number is corrupted. Best solution is to repair it via Z3X Box and reenter serial number manually. Dirty workaround is flashing modem patched by Ariza and unsecure kernel, in example Boeffla. If you will decide to choose second metod you will be forced to repeat those steps every time you flash a new firmware because your efs will be permanently changed. I suggest box metod, it shouldn't be expensive. In my country it is cost ca. 10 bucks.

This could happen if the board was replaced, it would have a different IMEI. The back plastic was replaced, again same thought. Or the imei in the sticker is bad and changed to good from a defective device. Or the worst, it was cloned.
The serial number I asked for thou is not shown in the images. It is blank. Please provide the one off the sticker and let's see where this leads.
Ok in this moment i got again the error of the connector..so i can't charge the phone >_> I have to replace with a new one T_T
So i'll let you know in this few days any kind of update. (I think i can try to install the kernel...i have enough battery)
Anyway on the back there is just one sticker...no other behind that or overlayed...
and the S/N: is that one RF1C83TA9DJ....
If i have other news i'll let you know in short time...
Thanks for everyone for the support until now.
Wait my news ^^ (fu**ing connector...doesn't charge....he know there is a cable put in is a** because if is in standby, the screen turn on....BUT doesn't charge......i love this kind of situation...)

Nothing to do...
I've tried everything.
This complete stock 4.3 with the Boeffla Kernel - Nothing.
Stock 4.3 No brand ITV with the Boeffla kernel - Nothing.
Cyanogenmod 11 Nightly with Boeffla kernel - Nothing.
Wipe/system/devil cache/cache/data on every round....
So the only way is to fix all of it with the Z3X Box... i have to go in a shop (to some of my colleagues) and give to them the phone.....here in italy is expensive this kind of work...50/70$...
Anyway thanks for all your support guys ^^

Where did you get the 'phone from? I suspect that C576 might be specific to Israel, which would explain your inability to find it online. An even worse possibility is if it's a firmware build specific to your carrier - in which case you're at the mercy of your carrier as to when/if updates will become available.
My 'phone (which I got directly from China) has C636 (international) firmware.
If you're interested in "re-branding," have a look at FunkyHuawei's thread - that'll help you get to an international flavour of firmware which'll separate you from your reliance on your carrier.

Is it reversable?
Can it damage the phone/functionality?

Yes, as long as you have access to a copy of the original ROM.

Potentially, anything you do to the 'phone which involves a screwdriver or a USB cable can cause damage. I've done a lot of reading on the process and haven't seen any stories of irreversible catastrophes, but as with everything, it's up to you to decide whether you're comfortable with proceeding.
I'd suggest you have a read of at least the OP of that thread to get an idea of what's involved, then read through replies to see what sort of problems people have encountered and how they were resolved.
