ive also got a galaxy s advance but have never rooted a phone at all but im pretty good at following instructions,
ive followed all the tutorials I can find an basicly cant get my phone into download mode.
when i turn the phone off, hold down vol - home button and powers button the phone goes to a screen with an android on its back with a exclamation mark in a red triangle if i then press the home button i get the android system recovery list (3e) and can move up and down the list but the home button doesn't seem to select anything.
the phone works works fine but have a few annoying Chinese app on it i cant install hence the reason I want to put 4.1 on it
any help would be much much appreciated

VBOOT ver - 2010.06
android ver - 4.0.4

First of all, check if you have a genuine Galaxy S III using this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alxdroiddev.gs3identity
(it is also available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1976814)
If you get a "No match" message, you have a fake Galaxy S III.

You have right.
#edzaskadka
When you press theses buttons ( hold home + volume down + power button) => you are on the download mode already
thank you
but when i enter that factory mode(download mode)
i get a menu where is
Full Test
Item Test
Test Report
Clear eMMC
Version
Reboot
So what should i enter if i want to update trough Odin.Or i should just stay in that Menu?
It's probably just a fake chinese clone then
Go to settings/about phone and post details please
Details from settings about phone should tell if its another fake .

If the phone is a true galaxy s3 the model number should be GT- I9300 not a number 1 as above. A quick google search for a GT-19300 bring up the words 'fake' and 'clone' ... that sucks.
definitely a clone, samsung uses a completely different version naming principle

That was my bad, i was writing really fast
it does say GT-I9300
I really don't think that it is a fake, because the camera is incredible, like it should be on a samsung galaxy s3
It looks exactly like a real thing not those clones, plus the performance, it feels like a quad core processor, because it never lags.Then there is the software it self, which is exactly like it should be.And the voice search is spot on either. And i checked the IMEA as well and it showed that it is genuine.
so does it have Smart Stay, Swipe to capture, Direct call, Smart alert and other samsung features? No? It's a fake.

Your choice but its not an I9300 so do not flash any firmware from here .
Via Google plenty more will say the same plenty identical posts on this forum as well .
the trouble is all the chinese clones are also I9300's... The difference is that most have a completely different CPU (mtk6575/77), are a heap slower and you can be assured that trying to install any S3 rom on them is doomed to failure...
. To check use antutu from the play store, you can check the specs and post back here
XDA may even have a forum for China SG3 .

try to use Samsung codes like *#1234# or *#0*#
it is a fake after all because I only got 3803 benchmark score,and I think it should be smth like 15000 points
of course it is.

NozaTech Android Tablet?

Hello guys, A while back I bought this tablet Its branded "NozaTech" but over time its become sluggish and seems to be infected with advertising and some sort of malware.. Its even at the point where applications keep crashing and google play wont install anything else. I think it was shipped with a dodgy ROM, How would I go about finding what custom ROM that is compatible with this device? as I think it needs a complete wipe and a new spark of life. Also how would I go about installing it?
Model Number: V11
Processor Type: RFY-A33
Android Verison 4.4.2
Firmware Version: v2.0
Kernel Version: 3.4.39 ([email protected] #185
Build Number: RFY_y3-eng 4.4.2 KVT49L 20141015 test-keys
Many thanks.

Password Lockout Issue

Hi, Xda Devs
I would like to ask if anyone of you has experienced password lockout on Xtreme Play Generation 2 MST-711, though i think of flashing this device would be my last resort because as far as i know the tab doesn't come with Android Recovery Mode support hoping that would be my solution on fixing such a minor problem, it means that key combinations like volume + plus power button is not working. Is there any available stock rom for this device? or any equivalent stock rom that works fine with my device that can be downloaded? or is there any other way on how to fix this.
Specs:
Model: MST-711
Android: 4.1.1 (JellyBean)
Processor: ARM Cortex A8
Kernel Version: 3.0.8+
Build Number: JRO03C-20140313
Hope i get a help here, Thank you in advance
