Hi everyone
First time post here so, hello...
I have recently bought what i thought was a Samsung Galaxy S3 but on further inspection it appears to be a fake.
Some things that are wrong include:
Battery says Sunsung
Baseband version: MAUI.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V20 2012/07/13 18:23
Kernel version: 3.0.13 [email protected]#1 Sat Aug 4 02:00:11 CST 2012
Build number: IMM76D.I9300ZSALE9
Custom build version: 1344016820
Any ways i was wondering if any one knows if it possible to flash the phone to a relatively new version of cyanogenmod?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
seems you got a mediatek (mtk) clone.
Not only will they not run the official operating system including aftermarket ones like Cm (completely different hardware) but they are vastly less powerful and have less interesting hardware than the real S3.
Additionally they don't tend to live very long and have lots of issues.
Try to return it if possible and go to local police.
If you imported it from eg China you're out of luck, buh then again how do u expect an original from there?

I also have mediatek version of an s3..GT-i9300.. If not root and I hope not offensive, many of us cannot afford such an expensive devise. However, Android is and will always will be an open source project... meaning the platform is simply a measure of fire power.. What i realy want to say is that my devise may not be original samsung.. but my OS is Andoid for sure.. and I think developers in this forum are assisting with andoid development and not samsung development.
I am looking for a compatible rom for MEDIATEK version of S3 GT-i9300. So far i came across needrom.com and also on xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358560 where some discussion are ongoing.. (i do note that the scatter file selection is not mentions (where to get the scatter file). I downloaded a zip archive (ROM) and after extracting, it didnt have a scatter.txt file..
I would like to ask if cynogenmod (any) builds are compatible/can be installed? I need advise on available roms...or how to find if one will be compatible..
Thanks in advance for the valuable time...and the understanding..

Cyanogenmod only supports the original S3 devices so you'll have no luck on finding one. And roms for clones are scarce so i'm afraid you'll have to find a dedicated forum that supports your device.
There is a cm9 that booted by superdragonpt but its just way too buggy as he stated, he fixes one error two new ones come out, complete scource code can hardly be found for it. so we are stuck with just theming and modding and if you like to get your hands dirty, heres a thread with guides compatible for mtk phones http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2369586

As said either find a fake forum or build a rom yourself .
Knowledge of fake/ clone is not on this forum .
Simply its not a Samsung product and questions should be posted in a Mediatek forum .

You are wrong. This forum is for android development of the gt-i9300 international galaxy s3. Nothing else. None of us have your device so we cannot help with development, methods, processes or roms.
There are general forums to teach how to develop android for a device generally but without drivers, source code etc, you won't get far. Either way though, this is not the place for that.
Regardless of what you can afford, you must seek out your own forum for your own device. Your device has nothing in common with this device or this forum. It doesn't even share any hardware.

I at no time mentioned that the GTi9300 MTK i have is anything common with "your"device.. i am saying is, both are android platform (samsung or AOSP) and development forums are to discuss on issues faced during tweaks.. sorry to ask here... if thats the reason u were offended.
the name of the post here is "ROOTING/FLASHING CYNOGENMOD ON "FAKE" S3... i think i am in the correct place?

You don't understand either. Android is open source, but is also phone specific ! In each built you have a kernel that runs specific drivers for in built hardware present in your phone!
And for that cm devs need code source. And I think above all that's it's a 'ethical' reason. If cm supports border line illegal clones, it will officialize them.
Those phones are totally different it's exactly the same than asking in a HTC forum why they can't provide you a Rom for your Sony.

No you are in the wrong place this is SGS3 I9300 or I9305 forum .
It is not a fake / clone forum nothing on here is for you and it is a totally different phone .
You need to find a fake SGS3 forum .

So is motorola razr. Truth is posting here is no different to posting in the razr forum. You chose this forum because it looks the same but the similarity ends there.
This forum is for the international s3 only. Not razr. Not clone.

Fake Samsung Galaxy
i bought a fake samsung galaxy notes 4,

i know is hard to fix but is it something that i can get from it instead of throwing it to he garbage , like using it as a camera or as a home tablet or else
please your comments
Looking to upgrade to an S II.
Should I get an original S II or look for a particular model or variant that's preferred for community support in mods, roms, etc? Are there models/variants to avoid?
EDIT: Sorry, guess this is more appropriate for the Q&A forum. I'll post there. Mod can delete this one.
Hello. I recently got an m8 so i was wondering if there were any custom roms that keep the gesture when the phone is locked but also gives vanilla android experience. Also can you list a couple of good roms to use. Thanks
Witch variant HTC ONE M8 ?
We can assume it's the At&t variant cause your asking in the At&t
Q&A ,Help & Troubleshooting forum.
Normally I would offer assistance but you don't have a problem to solve cause your answer lies within the Development section
Enter a Rom thread and if what you read is what you think you might like than give it a try.
Please do yourself a favour and make a backup before you do anything ?
I need 5.0.2 roms please.
Everyone on this site upgraded their 5.1.1 roms and completely deleted 5.0.2 roms from google.
Ive searched pages and pages.
I found one, for some g9250f model, or something, it ran GREAT, except no wifi or cell service.
even if I tried to copy paste, restore the EFS partition with my files, still it would not work.
anyone know of any s6 edge . s6 non-edge 5.0.2 roms around?
Ill be happy to settle for non Edge versions, as long as the wifi and cellular work.
I couldnt care less about fingerprints and heartrates.
I just want to get rid of this Bloat ---- that doubles the Rom size and loads up 100 extra samsung crApps
BTW, per the sticky posted at the top of the General section, questions shouldn't be posted there:
[READ THlS FlRST] POST QUESTIONS IN THE Q&A SECTION AND NOT HERE!!!!
DELETED
There is literally a little window in the Q&A section that reads:
This forum is for all of your questions about Android Development and Hacking. If you need help troubleshooting a problem, please be as specific as possible by describing your software configuration, including the ROM, kernel, and any modifications you've done.

Exactly as it states, what phone model, what android version, rooted? Stock ROM? Any custom kernels? XPosed? What do you even mean by "offline charge animation", provide pictures etc. If you really want your "issue" to be solved, kindly reply with more information. Thank you.
