[Q] Clone can runs original firmware? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
i have a Samsung S3 but there is something strange on it, like the home that is different from all the others S3. That telephone is even just a little bigger than the original, so this is just a clone of the S3 even if it has the Samsung mark on the back and when it boots the system... Now, i'm interested to change the firmware of the phone (it has 4.1.1) with the original one of the Samsung (4.1.2, so i will forget i got a bad clone ), could i do it? Or i will brick it?

Stupid thread title.
Post makes very little sense .

Soz about the title... i forgot it ... I wanted to modify but i can't so i modified it now... when i will back home i will write the model

No clones cannot use Samsung firmware .
If you have a clone you will have to find a clone phone forum.

Is the OP a cat, just being curious.

[Q]I have a big problem (Model,Baseband and speaking)

Guys at the first sorry for my bad english.
My uncle has bring me a Samsung Galaxy S2 i777 (AT&T) 1 weeks ago.I'm living in Turkey so phone was unlocked.There was a rom on the phone ([email protected]).I wanted to turn the phone the original firmware...
And i read some Turkish forums and i downloaded an original ICS firmware (4.0.3) for 'Galaxy S2 i9100' (look at the problem 1). And then when its loaded i have open my phone. There was 2 buttons are not working from LED (Back and Search). And then i have tried to install a lot of firmwares , Roms , kernels.. A lot of i777 Firmwares giving fail when installing but i9100 firmwares are not giving fail(Look at the problem 1).When i install a i9100 firmware i can't speak with phone.(Look at problem 2). And my problems :
1) I wasn't know my phone is an i777 because on the start screen there is writes i9100. When i take of the battery i have seen the model number. (i777) Why there is writing i9100 on the start screen ?
2) I can't speak with my phone. When i call someone i cant hear dial tone but their phones are ringing. And when they open the phone i cant hear their voice. What can i do ?
3)And the baseband number. On the Phone Information there is writing my baseband number i9100. How i can change it ?
Guys anyone can help me ?
Delete: I hope he got the help in General sec.
You posted this twice in two different sections. Read and search. Google will give u a lot of helpful information regarding what u need to do, I would suggest reading a lot more on the subject before attempting this type of thing again. Don't wanna hard brick good luck, happy flashing.

I'm usually just using the search engines to look up information.
OP, why on earth you post more than once for the same content
Sigh!!!

Hi, save ur tears, friend. u havn't really turned it into a brick. i think
First things first, see if u can bring it back to stock (the way it was shipped new for a USA model)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313659 whole post is real useful but skip to 2a. if u just want to start flashing...
or this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
once you are able to do that, read up lots on how to flash, what modem to use etc,
Good guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1511838
and come back here & post if you come up w/ specific problems or questions once it's been turned to "stock" (factory fresh condition)
it's difficult to trouble shoot if we don't exactly know what u have done to your phone
best of luck!

[Q] Requesting infos on i9300 for future hacking!!

Hi to everyone!
I am new here but I have been on the i9000 forums for the last year and more.
My actual i9000 is quite hacked and I am going to get a i9300 with my phone provider next week.
I would like to understand just a few things to know if I'll be in some quite similar situation of hacking or if the i9300 is in some how different from i9000.
My questions are:
What are the differences between the two forums Galaxy S III Android Development and Galaxy S III Original Android Development ???
How do I go into Download and Recovery mode?
About ROOTING the i9300... Is there some website or Windows app and does that or must I flash something like a new kernel or what?
Is there a way to get some sound improvement for better sound and more volume as it was for i9000 with the Voodoo hack?
Is it possible to flash only a new kernel that gives root privileges, sound improvements and some other cool things? I ask this because I really don't know if I'll go for a complete ROM flashbecause I am a little bit tired in complete hackings
As the phone not bought by my self but related to a phone contract I need to be able to revert back to stock rom/kernel if the phone needs to go back to shop for something, so please tell me where to get stock firmwares and if I need some particular Windows app or know some particular procedure on how to flash.
I hope to have answers from you becuase I really need to understand what is having a i9300 not hacked alot coming from a i9000 that was really hack alot.

It's probably better no one did.
This post is currently in the Galaxy SII I9100 Q&A forum. If you are a Galaxy Wonder owner (Galaxy W I8150), then I'm pretty sure those files from a Galaxy SII (GT-I9100) wouldn't work for you.
You would probably be better off asking for these files in the Wonder forum.

HI, Can you post Phone Apk for Android 4.0.4 here.
I recently Upgraded My LG P990 to Official ICS. But, it has issue with Phone Calls (Black Screen).
Please Post Stock Phone App for ICS 4.0.4.
Thanks.
You're in the wrong place. Samsung's apk is not going to work on your phone.

[Q] Bought an S3 Clone and the software if confusing .

Hello friends and fellow seniors of the xda-developers ,
I just bought an S3 clone about 2 months old already . And am not sure if i can root it as the software is rather confusing .
Model Number : I9300
Android Version : 4.1.1
Baseband Version : MAUI.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V20,2012/10/25
Kernel Version : 3.0.13 [email protected]#100 THU OCT 25 12:12:12 CST 2012
Build Number : Gingerbread.zkis3
I do know though that 4.1.1 is a jellybean software and yet gingerbread.zkis3 is most likely to be a samsung galaxy s2 2.3.5 .
Is there and ways , or is it possible to change it ? Because i wanna upgrade it to 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 jelly bean .
And i really wanna root it . My phone keep saying i dont have enough device storage . My SD card just used 1% of 8gb . And my 16gb still has 14gb left . Either way i still wanna root it . Please help me anyone . /:
If there is someway to change all that and root it . Please let me know ASAP . Please and Thank You !

Your phone is not Samsung and not I9300 .
Nothing for you in this forum .
You need to find a forum for your phone this forum and its firmware and root is not for your phone .
Try find fake SGS3 clone forum .

Ohh okay . Thank you . Can you recommend me one forum or one good site that can solve this kind of problems ? Or can't xda-developers develop a new firmware for this ? I can roughly pay 20 USD$ . Im not bribing . I just want my phone to be at least get rooted . /:
You appear to have missed the whole point of XDA, it isn't about providing a paid service but about helping other people with your own experiences and knowledge.
It is unlikely that anyone here reads or knows about fake S3 forums, neither will they be able to help you with your specific problems.
You would do better to put your $20 toward a genuine S3.
Ohh alright . Sorry about that . I'll delete this thread then .
How do i delete this thread ?
report it
Can i ask something else ? Oh and i found the s3 clone forum . I cant delete the thread i wrote there . Because i thought i was replying here .
Sorry if i was cross post or hijack someone elses post .. I just dont know what or where to ask these kinds of questions .
What do i press/touch if i got into factory mode ( pressed volume up + home button + power ) ?
Because anything i touch/press wont tell me the version or anything ?
And anyways , which one should i look into ?
Full test , Item test , Test Report , Clear eMMC , or Version ?
This is the link to the forum of SGS3 clone that has been rooted .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41257809&posted=1#post41257809
again, you won't get answers here, this is the i9300 forum, and your "device" has nothing in common with it

How can we tell you you dont have a SGS3 its fake a pretend phone and does not work the same as I9300.
Above link is not a Forum for SGS clone its Android Development and Hacking Q&A .
Ask in that thread the users who have a fake SGS3 may know .
