So here it goes, I have recently bought my I9200 in China before I came back home and to my surprise ( well i expected that after previous story i had with Galaxy tab) i found there is totally no support for google. No play store and any attempts of installing gmail or play store were ending up in fail. I downloaded plenty of OFFICIAL roms from different regions hoping to go around his pathetic Chinese government-childish blocade of google... unfortunately during any attempt of flashing it through ODIN i get ext4 fail error in odin... im using 3.07v so it shouldnt be a problem... might it be cause of different kernel ? which i need to preflash before flashing ROM itself ?
I am still waiting for Casie to finish his Xtralite ROM for i9200 but before i was hoping to at least get my gmail back on my mobile....
question is...
how to flash any other official rom over this f****ing chinese crap full of bloaware and useless stuff ?
everything is stock and official i also noticed in download mode it says:
Qualcomm secureboot: Enabled
The software i am currently using is
I9200ZCUAMF4_I9200CHNAMF4_I9200ZCUAMF4_HOME.tar

It is very strange because I lived in Beijing for a long time (and was there last week), and google services do work there without any problem (well Youtube don't but that revolutionary tool have been blocked for a while now )
Do you need to tick the option for Unknown sources in the Security section of options?
Also, is it really the phone that you thought you were buying? This can happen in China, sadly...

interesting I9200 mega
http://youtu.be/C_kxSXxqwns here got an insteresting i9200 mega lol \
hope you will enjoy it
Unfortunately, until now u can't flash international Rom to ur Mega. COZ China version's "pit&bootloader" is different than international vision
I bought Mega from Iraq, and I made a mistake, flashed 5 files official rom to my phone , but Chinese version.
Now, same to u, has no Google service...
how crazy...
But I find a way, just download a international "5 files official Rom" (including" pit /bootloader /PDA/phone /CSC" )
Using Odin like normal flash, then after u can flash any international Rom with Google service
I hope u can find i said that "5 files official rom" and share it, plz
Coz I need too, my problem is same to yours, but can't find, and I'm in China now, many website can't login
So if u find, plz share it, thank u so much!

Oh, fair enough.
I always bought my phones on the "gray" market in Beijing, never from a carrier store, so that's why I had international versions without limitations.
There has to be a way, but you will need to look around on chinese forums and such I think.

Same problem here, may God have mercy on our souls.
Please someone give us a light of what we should do... This chinese rom is terrible, I can't even use GApps.
Go too this website http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3 and download the firmware for your correct phone model and country and then flash it with Odin.
Your phone should work 100% again after that :good:

Are you sure your phone is a I9300 and not a I9308, since Galaxy S3 in China have model number i9308 and Hongkongs model is i9300. And ofcouse if you dont want or like the stock firmware for your phone, you can always try out those customs rom here in XDA

You could try a 3 part flash if its available on sammobile.com
jje
I have the I9300 from mainland china as well. The one that boots up with the China unicom logo. I've managed to get everything working by flashing a stock china unicom rom, and then using mobile odin to flash a UK rom. Mobile Odin doesn't replace the bootloader, so even though I can now run stock UK firmwares and even custom roms such as CyanogenMod 9, the phone always boots up with the china unicom logo. Is this an indicator of a locked bootloader? If not, what else is preventing the flash from completing? the Partition Information Table? The CSC? If it's anything else other than the bootloader, then in theory shouldn't it be possible to flash a three part firmware? Repartition, and update the bootloader? I would think that this would result in a successful flash. I myself have not tried this as there is always the inherent risk of hard bricking the phone when playing around with the bootloader and PIT. If there are any more experienced xda members here, it'd be great to know what you think would work in this case.
Another Problem with Chinese Firmware
I appreciate the links. I'm downloading one of the firmware files now. Hope it works.
There's another reason why I don't like the Chinese firmware. The authorities have clumsily sabotaged VPN. If you try to turn on VPN service, the phone instantly crashes, allowing only emergency calls until you do a factory reset. Happened twice before I caught on.

Appreciate the link, and downloaded it. But it contains all the files in a .zip file, and Odin requires a .tar file. How can I convert .zip to .tar, and will Odin work if I do?

I think that zip is for CWM Recovery, so you'll have to get a stock Chinese ROM running first, and then install CWM, turn off signature check and then flash CWM through odin, then you can load the other roms into the SDcard using your computer and flash it through the recovery.
I have not this phone but found some info may be helpful.Goodluck.

That phone is NOT A GENUINE Galaxy S III. It is a chinese knock off, a fake.
This is what gave it away:
- MTK MT6577 1.2GHz processor
No genuine S III device use this processor.
therefore, you do NOT have a real S III device and none of the S III roms will work with your phone.
Besides, since your phone has Android 4.1.5 (sic, according to the page you posted), why the hell do you want an older Android?
If you're in doubt about your phone, use this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alxdroiddev.gs3identity
It will tell you if your phone is real or not.

If you still need the rom for the i9300_chn_chn, i can help you, with a mixed room, fussion betwen PHE ( spain) and CHN (China).
Works very well, the problem is the bootloader i locked so, you olny can install moden, and sboot, from china.
my first post, okay i live in ethiopia and i happen to get my hands on a galaxy s duos which i doubt its original since it dont have the duos logo on right top and antutu says i have 3.1 and .3 mp of camera but its the same elsewhere on the phone, ram, processor.
Now my question is my country is not listed on the update list and so can i use a very updated rom from random country and update it? or should i wait to someday it gets in? and if yes with what installer cause OTA is impossible?
okay i have to use odin, but please tell me the the rest!

first you have to be sure it is original or not check on setting-about

if it is not original you cant use odin you have to try something else

i have to downgrade to 4.4.4 from 5 - it's too laggy...
Tried to downgrade from French version Lollipop to my own country version Kitkat, result as a bootloop... trying again with Odin, I hope it will not bootloop anymore.
Surely this phone is cool enough to ROM?
I am honestly so surprised to see that there is literally nothing online (or nowhere I can see)?
SOMEONE HELP? This stock 4.4.4 is KILLING me!?
we are the ones who bought phone on basis of looks... we got swayed. and now paying the price for no support

Wouldn't flashing custom firmware keep you from having the special Iron Man themes? (the special edition comes with different themes than what is in the 'theme store'). I believe the primary differences are icons and additional animations.
I already have the iron man phone.. I want to de brand it i dont care about the warranty i just want to find a way tp unbrand

You havent said why you have the issue. Did you flash a rom? Second this is someone elses thread so you should post your own thread.

Hi. I can't wait for another 3 months to get Android 9 together with One UI. I hoped that I can get beta version, but unfortunately it's available in selected countries only.
I thought that I will be able to bypass that block with VPN, I did it once for Good Lock 2018 using this post from Reddit. But I didn't succeed with the Android P beta.
The thing is, you need to use Samsung Members app to participate in testing, but looks like it detects your country using CSC. I have no other idea because I pulled out a SIM card from the smartphone, activated VPN, disabled GPS. But I still couldn't trick it.
So my question is, do you have any other ideas how I can install beta version of Android P? Should I wait for the ROM here at the forum? Or maybe I can change CSC someone without root (yes, I checked the forum but there's still no clear answer if I can do it or not as of 14th of November, 2018)? Appreciate any ideas
Flash another frimware via odin.
Search sammobile with your model number.

I found some firmwares for my model number. Do I understand correctly that I can install whatever country I want disregarding my CSC code? E.g. my CSC code is TTR for Austria, can I install BTU for UK?

BTU should be fine, that's the one that I want to try as well. As for the SIM card, don't think that it's actually needed.
I flashed BTU firmware, but for some reasons, it didn't apply.. I still have the same CSC and my regional apps are still there. Does anyone have any idea why it could have happened?
UPD. Looks like I was able to install BTU. At first, I flashed AP, but I had to flash CSC as well. So I did it in 2 steps. After flashing CSC my smartphone reloaded into recovery menu. I made factory reset from there and that's it!

I suggest you to read the old beta threads from last year. As far as i remember you need a SIM-Card, for example Lyca, wich can be changed to different countries via SIM-Tool App. but lets see if the beta arrives today after all.

Not sure now.. When I was setting up the phone after clean install, everything looked like it was BTU. But I didn't find beta invitation in Samsung Members. After that I download an app to check my current CSC code and it appears to be XSP for Singapore.. I tried to flash it several times, flash AP only, flash CSC only, nothing has helped..
But it could work though, as I have Bixby voice now (it wasn't available before). I'll post here once I have any updates.
Nobody has an invitation in Samsung members at this point!

sure i got it,i just cant register, i already bought a korean sim card ,hopefully i can get it tommorow and beta wont close by then
I have german sim and there is no notification.. ? need to do something to get the beta ?
although I have a german S9 +, Android Pie beta still isn't available for me. So maybe you'll just have to wait a little bit and then retry with vpn?
