Hello,
My relative gave me Samsung Galaxy SIII Mobile Handset. This is an international version and I've reset the phone because I was getting frequent "unfortunately google play store has stopped" message. (Every few seconds)
I also tried to fix "google play error" by clearing cache, uninstall updates, removed battery for 5/10 minutes and reboot it several times. Nothing worked for me.
Finally,I decided to root the phone (It is already rooted) and use new custom/stock ROM. So, would like to know which ROM I need to use for Samsung Galaxy SIII Phone.
Below are the "About Phone" information for your reference purpose.
Device Model Number: SCH-I535
Android Version: 4.4.2
Baseband Version: I9300ZSUBML1
Kernel Version: 3.0.31-2198062 ([email protected] #1)
Build Number: KOT49H.I535VRUDNE1
SE for Android status: Permissive
Device Status: Official
Regards,
GIPL
It's not an i9300, i9305 or anything. It's a CDMA variant of the phone judging by the model number, but by the baseband, it has the chinese i9300Z baseband. I suggest looking for a stock ROM, reflashing and then start all over, because it can possibly lead to a bricked device. I suggest you look HERE, not in the international subforum because, as stated, it WILL lead to bricks and other nasty stuff.

Hi all,
I have bought a second hand Samsung Galaxy S 2 in China.
The Android version installed is 2.3.3; I tried to do an update via Kies but I got the infamous message that "firmware update is not supported" for my device. I understand from other posts in the forum that maybe the firmware installed is not matching with the original region of the device, in this case I should install the right firmware in order to get the support from Kies, am I right?
But my question is...how do I know the original firmware/region for my model?
The data of the device are the following:
Model Number: GT-I9100
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9100XXKE4
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE7-CL215725 [email protected] #2 (does this mean the phone has been rooted?)
Build Number: QUENS.GINGERBREAD.XWKE7
Plus, when I connect to Kies the current firmware version detected is:
I9100XWKE7/I9100XEUKD1/I9100XXKE4/I9100XWKE7 (DBT)
Sorry for the noob question, I tried to figure out from the sticky post and used search but I am still confused...(yes, I got intimidated by the welcoming video of the forum)
Thanks

Its not posible to know without evidence guess maybe.

NO its the signature
Build Number: QUENS.GINGERBREAD.XWKE7
That reads as a custom rom by Quens ???
Plus, when I connect to Kies the current firmware version detected is:
I9100XWKE7/I9100XEUKD1/I9100XXKE4/I9100XWKE7 (DBT)
If its a i9100 and no other version pick a stock rom from the stock roms posts .
With later firmware and to match region phone is used in .

I recently bought a new phone (e210k) that happens to be unlocked. I have looked everywhere online and I cannot seem to find the answer.
My problem is this:
I would like to update to jelly bean but I cannot do so via Kies or OTA (of course I'm pretty sure this is because it is unlocked).
However, I have tried to figure out this particular type of firmware and I cannot find any information on the firmware that the previous order had used to unlock this phone.
Would I be able to update the firmware and update to jelly bean without losing all my information and current apps. I know I can back up my information but there are certain apps that I would prefer to not have to reset.
Here is the information on about my current device:
Model Number: SHV-E210K
Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband Version: E210KKKMC1
Kernal Version:
3.0.15-1183693

Sorry, I'm not very tech savy when it comes to phones.

Not true .

Firmware does not unlock a phone .

All Google apps remain in Play store your account .
Titanium Backup Pro backs up apps .
Backup have a look at Carbon on Play store .
Find the SHV-E210K thread for information on your phone as its not standard I9300 .

I want to unroot my phone as I wanted to avail exchange offer given by Samsung. Even if I do not avail exchange offer unrooting will help to get Adndoid version 4.3 which is about to come for i9305. I found simple unroot procedure here - http://theunlockr.com/2013/01/26/how-to-unroot-the-samsung-galaxy-s3-lte-i9305/
As per the procedure I have to download Stock Firmware for my device from here - http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9305. But, I'm confused to find my device's version from there. What can I do now?
My device details from about device option-
Model number: GT-I9305
Android Version: 4.1.2
Baseband Version: I9305BVBLL2
Device details from Kies-
Device name: GT-I9305
Current firmware version: I9305XXBLL5/I9305EVRBLL2/I9305BVBLL2/I9305XXBLL5
You are in the wrong forum this is I9300
Hey folks
I am having a problem with finding the right version for rooting and resetting the flash counter on my i9300.
I already rooted my phone once with the cyanogenmod installer. But my problem is that the phone just returned from repair and they installed the official samsung rom again but the flash counter remains above zero.
Which version of android should i install as a dane?
Installed on phone right now:
Baseband version i9300XXUGNA8
Build version: JSS15J.i9300XXUGNA5
I do not think that the infomation above matches the infomation i have found on the web.
// Devial
I tried almost every one click application that exist, and all of them are failed... (kingo, etc.)
so, i found a thread here about similar model
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/sm-g318h-root-t3151992
In that thread i have a firmware that fit to Galaxy Trend 2 Lite G318H, the model number it is the same as my phone,
but, the build number and the kernel number , and the serial number are different.
so, is that firmware would fit to my phone? it is safe to do it with Odin?
(i am afraid to lose my phone accidentally, or to do something wrong)
my phone details:
Galaxy Ace 4 Neo (SM-G318H)
android 4.4.4
Build: G318HXCU0AOH1
Kernel: 3.10.17-773113
Serial: KTU84P.G318HJPU0AOH2
thank you!
Update: i was succeeded with the new version of Kingo
