[Q] help which version s3 do i have and root help - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, ok its been a very long time since i rooted my sg3 , ok i have an s3 locked to vodafone and is running rom 4.1.2 baseband I9300XXEMG4, So is this normal verizon/sprint phone and yes im in the UK.
What i need to no is can somebody post a link to me and the latest easier way to root my S3 Please, sorry to have forgotton the whole thing but its been ages since i last rooted,
Also are there any latest sound boosting hacks that are available now ?
And finally sorry for posting in wrong section to the admin if i have.
Hope to get some help very soon.
Thankyou from Brian.

Makes no sense, this forum is for the i9300 international -if you have a sprint then you'll brick it with files from this forum.
Suggest you go read the sticky thread in general, rather than posting questions already asked a thousand times.

Start by finding out what phone you have .
Details are under the battery .
If it is an I9300 then all the information is posted .
Basics read first.

Oh i am of the same opinion your question made no sense as sprint verizon is USA and therefore would be in the wrong forum .Likely you would brick the phone if asking for
information here would be extremely high if that was the case and you suggest you have Vodaphone UK phone but ask about some other model .

I didn't intend any sarcasm, I don't want you to brick your phone but I'm not going to type information you can find for yourself in just a few moments.

3)GPS(navigation) seems broken or can't catch a signal(yes clear sky and stuff like that was done)
4)samsung kies says my 2.3.4 is the latest version is that true ? if not which version if the latest on this device in this time ?

You start by reading one thing you read is the rules question goes in Q&A.
1) My android version is 2.3.4 but shouldn't it be a 2.3.3 or smth ?
Dont know about smth
2,3,4 is a valid rom why go backwards
2) It is a 16gb device, but on total space area it shows 11.50gb where is another 4.5 gb ? It is divided or what a hell?
Use Google or search XDA question asked millions of times .
3)GPS(navigation) seems broken or can't catch a signal(yes clear sky and stuff like that was done)
Read the GPS faqs.
4)samsung kies says my 2.3.4 is the latest version is that true ? if not which version if the latest on this device in this time ?
Kies is not telling lies .That is the latest firmware the phone provider has uploaded . Their are later stock firmwares but you need to read learn and understand first .
5)my s2 is from t-mobile poland but in my country there is no t-mobile but it works with any sim card, does this make a difference ?
To what ??
You need to start reading all the FAQS and gudes and stickies .

Most of the answers to your questions are in the links he provided. So more informative than you think.
Well I serched but if you know those answers or some of them you might as well share

Seriously? No one wants to re-type answers that can be found by you clicking on a link.
Yes there are more current versions, but you must understand, to use the device more than just a conversation with your girlfriend or smth.., there are no shortcuts you need to read and believe me, it's addictive when you'll know what you wanna do.
good luck..

if you want cm9 then go here

Download the
CM9 Resurrection Edition for use with Odin
that is simplest
or if you need stock ICS firmware use any ICS firmware LP7 or LP8 flash with idon read some thread you will understand every thing
Welcome to XDA and Galaxy S2 users. The Roll Up Sticky thread should be your starting point. Apart from that , the ICS Rom thread should get you starting on stock ICS roms. Once you are comfortable with these you can explore Android development and custom Roms forum.
Good luck.

Third if you had read the faqs and guides you would have a clue .

As said stickies faqs etc links posted .
Stock ICS in General thread and in stock rom thread .
BUT as you know nothing why not update via official Samsung KIES method you are less likely to brick your phone .

[Q] [Beginner] i9305 HK Version Rooting on Mac

Hello all,
It's been quite a while I have been searching around for the correct procedure on how to root my S3 LTE Hong Kong version [I9305ZHALI2], but either the information is confusing or the procedures exist for Windows or for the US versions of the phone only.
Can anybody please point me to the right direction and let me know where to find the right procedures to follow to root the phone and install CWM and Pandoriam ROM?
This is my first decent Android phone and I have never rooted anything before, so I would like to make sure I don't scr*w up
Thank you in advance!
This is for I9300. There is a sub forum for I9305s. Search on google for root i9305 and you'll get a post explaining how to do it.

I actually tried, but as a beginner I find it confusing, so I was hoping to find a more detailed guide on the forum.
However, thanks for the reply, from which I can assume that rooting I9305 is kind of "universal" and does not depend on the country?

ask in the correct forum
Root is posted in original development .

Yes but you would be better not flashing that rom . But spending time reading the basics first as you are lacking in even the first steps .
Noobs are expected to read first flash last this is a developers forum for developers . Those that don't bother to learn the basics are not going to be spoonfed .
So seriously you read the posted stickied faqs and guides or suffer a bricked phone your choice .

Welcome to the forum while 10k might be a slight exaggeration, there are a lot of these threads created weekly and all we ask is that members take the time to read the sticky threads provided before creating a new thread about something that in most cases has been covered already. This thread should provide you with the answers your looking for.
