[Q] Need Help ASAP - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I Got a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300
It Opens Displaying Android while its loading not Samsung so It must be Korean.
It shows that it has Android Version 4.2.1.
Can I Root this.?
Can I Flash another ROM on to this?
Thanks. :good:

You need to know what phone you have first .
Settings about phone and model under the battery .

Model is GT-I9300

I'd probably recommend a screenshot of that for confirmation if you're unsure
Please use descriptive thread titles. Also always read the guides and faq'a first in general > Sticky roll-up

Korean model is not an i9300 and doesn't have 4.2 so it sounds like a clone phone from your information.
If so then anything in this forum could destroy your phone, search Google for your actual clone instead.

Here is a Screenshot of My Phones "About Phone Menu"
Under Battery:
MODEL: GT-I9300
MADE IN KOREA BY SAMSUNG
and a bunch of other stuff.

That's a clone. Samsung phones does not contain a "Custom Build Version". So expect no further support from here as we don't know anything about clones here.

How sad that some HIT & RUN people after posting their questions and get their answers quickly never hit that damn THANKS button.

When i hit the THANKS button it means GRATITUDE to someone for a job well done, not for SCORES this is not competition and not to build up a big thanks score like what you said. Thats the reason why they put that THANKS button...FYI.

Then you need to ask Samsung or at least give us the full specifications .Or try a Tizen forum .
If you want to flash IT then you flash stock roms via Odin .
But a big guess is you will brick the phone to a non fixable state .

Well it's your phone so feel free to brick it, I'd have thought that for rarity alone your phone was probably worth more than an android s3 on ebay. sell it and buy a stock s3
No, i have a Nexus 4, i don't like s3 too much
With Nexus 4 i'm on the top of the mountain ^^
Someone can help me?

You have been helped but choose to ignore the advice given .
I suggest if you need help then you lack knowledge to try such a firmware change .

You need to dump your tizen first. Can u provide some pictures?

I want to ask something that may sound offensive, but is not intended to be..
How do people who don't have any technical knowledge get these test phones? Are you part of a test program, or have you just purchased them somewhere?
If it's the former, how do you get on the test panel?
Also, how does Tizen run? You have a test o/s and are presumably meant to test it.. why on earth would you want to install Android? Surely you have your own daily phone as well as these test models?
I (Polv89 is by brother) have 2 Tizen test phone, so I would like to flash Android on one of it and compare them! This is the reason

Blimey! Lucky you.. wish I had friends like that.
Did you not have to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement though? Are you testing it, or was it simply a gift cos he didn't need it anymore?
They are gifts. So I would like to compare Android and Tizen in these 2 devices

When you are advising to upgrade to 4.0.4, warn noobs about the brick bug in stock kernels, if he has a brickbug effected chip, any type of wipe operation will brick him.

Go to the camera firmware thread in general section.Better to read than and understand,than to post here which just attracts stupid donks giving lame advice.
We'll be getting 12 year old clowns posting pics next.

Okay thank you! But only Antutu say this "SMDK4x12" thing. On the main windows its say "Authenticated S3 device" (my other S3 comes from Vodafone store also display this and smdk4x12!) In Cpu-Z the two phone got all information equal.
I can flash CF-root with Odin and its working fine. Roms from sammobile working also
It can be still a fake? Its important, pls help me!
if the Samsung features (multiwindow) work, it's genuine.
