Some Cookie Lite T300 in an i9300 housing I guess, do not flash any of the real i9300 firmware to it.
It does seem fake to me, those baseband, kernel and firmware version don't look like Samsung ones also CPU should at least say it's an exynos.
Don't flash or you will brick.

Yes it looks very strange but like I said I live in China and normally the fake Chinese S3 are OBVIOUS. There is no way to pass a fake for a genuine unless you are a real moron. They look real from far but they look far from real.
Where did you buy this phone ::..STBSL..:: ?

Normally you can see all that in Settings > About Device.
For further viewing download an app from the Play Store.

Multiple China phone posts on here .
Its either a fake or if real you need to change the firmware .
Note changing the firmware for China models is as i understand it not the same as flashing a stock rom .

any idea y it shows up as original on

The IMEI maybe original. That does not mean the phone is an S3.

Hi all,
Have an samsung s3 from orange and want to use it on 02. It is brand new, and is updated to version 4.1.2
Could someone be so kind as to point me in the direction of the best way to approach this..unlock or root etc?
As i say, all iwant is to be able to use the phone on 02 as it is prelocked.
Many thanks
Steve
have a search for Galaxsim unlock.
It seems to be a proven way to unlock although I have never used it.
Good luck

Hello,
long time no see!
Just want to confirm if it's still the same case or anything changed.
I have a Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 ( I9300XXUGMK6 "4.3 Android" ) from Germany. Now i want to flash a firmware from another country for example "I9300XXUGML3" 4.3 Android for GT-I9300 from Singapore. Is it possible or has SAMSUNG changed anything in their policies that makes it impossible? Used to be possible with Odin.
thanks mates !

yes.. but the radio.img/baseband version are different for other country. just reflash your baseband after rom installed.
* u can try which baseband work well with u, try in error wt your local provider connection
At first, its the wrong section. This must go in Q/A section.
Second, Yes you can!!

I never skipped firmware baseband flash procedure. Anyway, I always flashed European firmwares...

no need to re-root, just need a pc, just download a new unbranded firmware for your i9300, flash it with odin and wipe data!
there are tons of flash guides for our samsung, search for it here on xda

I am from Portugal and here, like other counties, the updates have a delay... So, I always download the latest European Firmware available when it comes out in other country!!
The only noticable difference is the CSC version, each country has a different CSC and thus different bloatware, but that doesn't mean you can't flash another country's firmware that will work except with different preloaded software.
Apart from that try to pay attention to the "Changelist" number which is the build number (So higher means newer). When Samsung releases a firmware for a specific device some countries get a new build number while the others won't. So flash a firmware which has the highest "Changelist" number.
How can I check the "Changelist" number of the firmware?
