Depends, what hardware does it have? Does it run on the real s3 firmware?

not sure...will check it later and let you know about it
I'm positive the clones have completely different hardware than the real S3s.

Good day to everyone.
I just recently bought my SGS3 from a local network provider called Telecom.
When i check the phone's version, it says, "Samsung Galaxy I9300T".
Definitely it's not the International Version so i'm wondering if it is possible to be rooted in any way and - HOW?
Other infos if needed are the following:
-Model number: GT-I9300T
-Android version: 4.0.4
-Baseband: I9300TDULE6
I'm asking before doing anything because i'm also an SGS2 user, and there's a hell of a difference between GT-I9100
and GT-I9100G. From kernel to ROMs, even the themes, in fact, a separate title was made just to compensate the need
of I9100G users.
Anyone's help would be really appreciated.
Thanks.
What are its specifics?
It is still the international version, don't worry, enjoy!!

Thanks for the reply.
Actually, there is no other specific. But just to complete the info i will edit the first post.
Looks like we got the Australian version, from what I've read all their galaxy 's have had the T on them.... did our other versions of the S1 & S2 have the T on them ?

Not aware mate since i got my s2 form **** Smith. But probably yeah.
Regarding the Australian version, at least the possibility of getting my phone rooted increased as there are quite few developers from Aus and Au.
Maybe i just need to wait for a little while.
Same GT-i9300:
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=3549&c=telstra_samsung_gt-i9300t_galaxy_s_iii
The i9300t has a modem optimized for the 850mhz network. This is used by Telstra and Vodafone in Australia.
I have the galaxy s 2 i9100t model and used the rom for the i9100 (non t model) fine. I assume this will be the same for the s3

Solder Jumpers!
For those of you who have the "GT-I9300T" (or any other non-pure-I9300),
please open up your back cover and confirm the solder jumper settings
as shown in the picture shown in THIS post.
Thanks!

Thanks for that mate but i will not risk opening my phone as it will totally lose my warranty.
By the way, it's quite interesting.

Have taken apart a I9300T and a I9300. On the T model the jumper is on the AU pads, on the I9300 the EU pads are soldered.

I'd like to advice don't flash that. in most cases you'll brick your device.

You'd need a dev to figure that out, probably a kernel issue. Try getting one of the devs for your device to make a port of it.

ok so how do i do this? dev does that involve programming
the acho.com website has ICS for C905 now.
@technobucks yea i know but they have serial numbers for it and mine is not in the range given so the touch wouldnt work thats why im trying different methods
wow...you're so lucky that only the touch screen inverted. in most case your device won't boot up if the hardware configuration is too different.

I'll agree with technobucks's advice. even if they have different serial numbers, if the model and the hardware is same you won't get any significant trouble. the succes possibility is a lot higher than trying to port a rom from another device.
yea i tired the one that was made for the device serial to my device and the touch screen doesnt work at all not even inverted so is there anyway to fix
Ps i just flashed back to 2.3

How do you the like the Acho C905? I saw it in a shop and was wondering how the general performance is like. I don't know anyone who has it and so would really appreciate your opinion on the device
Hi guys,
i've a hard question for you.
I've a GS3 (GT-I9300) of a friend of mine buyed in Thailand.
A little crafty friend of my friend has installed a "strange" ROM. In the device information shows a Version 4.1.9 but in Version build shows GINGERBREAD (see figure 1)
The device is very slow, it seems a Galaxy Gio. Kies doesn't recognize it. If i try to put the phone in "Download mode" (volume down+home+power) it shows what you see in the figure 2. If i try the sequence (volume up+home+power) it shows (figure 3) a pseudo fastboot mode.
What can i do to install an original rom? Odin doesn't recognize it.
Thanks in advance.
Mirko
In all honesty that looks like a fake/clone to me
I don't think because i had a GS3 and it seems perfectly equal. There's a way to understand if it's a clone?
It may not be a clone but it is running a fake version of android. Well not fake but not official. This happens alot with devices from that part of the world. I am betting that if you were to change the rom it would brick as most of those devices also come with a locked bootloader. If that is the case there is nothing you can do about it.

I think your best bet it to ask your "mate" exactly what he flashed onto your phone....but as far as I know 4.1.9 doesn't exist

There are many unofficial versions of android floating around Asia. This is most likely one of them.
Also go into task manager and see how much total Ram there is
Uhmm...after a hard reset, it shows me 191 Mb used and 247 Mb free.....i begin to think this is a clone...or the firmware can't show me the right values.

Your most likely right. Its a clone. Clones are known for having almost no ram.

Does a clone seems perfectly equal to the original??? With label Samsung, serial no. Samsung??

Yes that is nothing out of the ordinary. Mainly if its a clone from china as there are no copyright laws there. They can slap any name they want on it and the numbers are easily gotten and added to the system. When buying electronics one has to be very careful

Well that is the point of a clone....to dupe people into parting with their money, so obviously they will try their best to copy.....tell you what, take off your back cover and post a photo of the back if you can, that usually gives the game away

I asked a forum and they told me to ask someone with the same phone to dump the firmware with wwr so could you do it if it's a 5099y. Thanks as I just got this and I need to get it working

i got a new alcatel 3v but it would be useful if the whole firmware could be dumped then if a gsi flash messes up you could flash the stock firmware.
