sup everybody I just got my first ever droid today and much to my delight its the international version of the Samsung Galaxy SIII.
now heres the issue. its the GT-9308 version...so my question is :
if I root my phone is there anyway to change the rom[??] from this chinese mobile one [supposedly unlocked] that is lacking google play and is still partially in mandarin [which ya boy can't even slightly comprehend] to the GT-i9300 one?
the attachment is a screenshot of the about device section.

ahhh thank you i searched for a similar thread but i guess it didnt show up cuz it says asian in the title instead of china
not trying to bump that other thread but the only thing that really tells me is that I'm probably SOL.
so my NEW question is. any possible way I could go about implementing the modem driver from the GT-i9308 into the GT-i9300 rom so I get the google play and full english capabilities without the bloatware in addition to the phone still working?
I'll take that as a no then?

You can root your phone just do not change the modem otherwise your phone will not work. There are several chinese forums (use chrome to translate) that have very easy instructions for rooting which will allow google play to be installed.
Same boat
I am in China and found myself in the same boat..... i hosed my system after mucking about with it ... first android phone ... i am presently putting together all the links and things i did to get mine de china mobilized and google working .. rooted and a custom ROM or two that work... i have a newer hardware version then most people ... most have hardware version 5.0 ... i have 6.0 .... first attempt at rooting was fine... after that i added a rom... backed up and used the same modem firmware .... phone would not get past the start up screen... but thank god i could still put into recovery mode and get back to the firmware screen.. so i knew it could be saved... so i went through the Chinese forums ... no one had the latest hardware version ... but a release of the "official samsung rom" was the reason my phone was the way it was .... so i found another "Official" rom .... as it turned out it put my phone back into a working order ... the other thing is i am using OSX .... i had to muck about with different version of various pieces of software to get it all done... like i said i am throwing together all the links and everything i did to get mine going ... many of these links will require some authentication to Chinese sites .. weibo qq etc ...
I will try to re share the software i have downloaded ..but i am not maintaining them so not sure how good an idea this is...but the links will help the other "whites" as the chinese describe us foreigners in their forums "so easy a white can do it" after translation....
I just wanted to thank those on XDA with their posts ..... they did help, with information that got me going in the right direction.... this is my first Android since a Telus Fascinate .. which i gave to one of my programers/friends on my architecture team to root... other then that a iphone user ... hard to really brick one of these phones if you do the common sense back ups and such...
Once again thank you... i will have a full break down of my adventure in a day or two.... back to my work.
Cheers
some instructions feel free to contact me i will try and help
I have a i9308 and any of the newer release of the "official firmware' messed up my start up and made it loop...
I installed this using Heimdall skipped the bootloader as it seems to fail in both odin and Heimdall on hardware build 6.00
I found the newest official rom bbs dot anzhi dot com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=6344702 ... sorry not enough posts to send out side links ... i under stand.
everything else worked fine.... after this and i was able to back and do the usual install of CWM ..... which failed using Heimdall ... again on the bootloader .... so using Odin it worked ... i used virtual box and Windows 7 ... with the latest Samsung drivers ....i had to create a specific interface for the Samsung in virtual box so the i9308 would mount with out conflict in windows .... i was then able to install CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 ...
Once rooted i started looking for a way to install google play and all the google services.
i installed this ROM anzhi_karben_samsung_i9308_V1.0 which had the google drivers i needed and was not full of to much other crap and worked well in english ... i found this here bbs dot anzhi dot com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=6198323 i used my Wiebo account to do this and was then able to download.
I got the google pack ..... well one that worked and after i checked everything did not have any malicious scripts that i could find ... bbs dot anzhi dot com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=5401203 ... the zip file was gapps-ics-20120429-signed-4.0.4
i hope this helps some people Heimdall took a little after i figured out how to do this.... it was easy ... i have wiped it out a few times i nthe last week and tried different ROMs from the various Chinese boards ...some made very odd requests for SU access here and there ...i generally removed them after trying to find the offending script .... as i said so far the ones i am using have been pretty safe with little to no issues. I did go in and remove a lot of the preloaded China Mobile wares ...so far the phone is great ... i do fid the wifi signal sucks....
My first android i rooted myself ...see what happens after a drunk night in a taxi in Beijing and you lose your iPhone.... having fun.
S2 GT-I9308 Unlock
Hello
Someone gave me an I9308
I'm trying to use it with my French Sim Card. So i need to be able to unlock it.
I've been able to root and install custom firmware as described above.
I've tried to use GalaxySim Unlock application, but it says "Device not recognized"
I've tried to use the "trick" to unlock, but , the current firmware official version on the I9308 is 4.0.4, and with this version, "Network Unlock" is not working.
In order to try the trich with proper version :
I've tried to install 4.1.1 version for I9300, but it fails with modem
I've tried to install 4.1.1 version with modem.img from 4.0.4, it works but the phone is no more booting, it locks at "samsung" logo and vibrate one time pause one seconds, vibrates three times pause one seconds and again.
So two questions :
How to install a newer versions of android when no offcial version have yet been released ?
How to unlock the I9308 with 4.0.4 in it ?
Thanks.
It is the modem drivers that are the problem. China Mobile has not released a official upgrade yet. But I left instructions for rooting in my previous post.

old post late reply, i know but nvm that, anyway if anyone is still interested in this, here i have the right solution. recently i have been collecting some old Samsung phones, i managed to get hold of a Chinese 9308, as u know, all i9300 roms/twrp work on 9308, but can't detect SIM card/mobile network, however i found one version of the MIUI6 roms, so far so good, everything appear to work perfectly, has all languages, Google play services & framework most importantly, 3G works fine too. i will shortly provide links to the downloads.
Would you like please send the link for this MIUI ?

the problem is, i still have to upload them somewhere 1st, as one of the original links is no longer working and although the other one still is (there were two of them), but it was on baidu cloud, both, u need a baidu account to be able to dl stuff, i clearly remember i couldnt download them myself, and i wasnt able to create a baidu account either, but luckily i found someone who could & did download them for me and sent those files to me afterwards, so now we have to work out a way 4 me 2 send those files from my PC to other users out there.
Hello developers.
First, I swear that I already searched all the forum posts for my device support (Sharp SH930W - Japan smartphone) but there are none.
I can't find the way to root my phone and of course I can't install ROM (if available) for this phone too . I know that this is not a famous smartphone but it running Android 4.1.1 and have all the standard apps, the phone is quite powerful itself (dual core, 2Gb RAM, 5inch IGZO screen)
If there is noway to root it, perhaps help me to toggle fullscreen mode (hide status bar, bottom bar). I tried many app on CHPlay but all of them for rooted device or older Android version.
Please help.
er, emergency. Please Help?
Got this phone in Thailand... Some help with rooting would be greatly appreciated

I am waiting :good::good::good:
So, right now the situation is:
SHBreak didn't work
Bin4ry's root didn't work
No flashable custom recovery available
Can't extract stock recovery (to get started with CWM builder)
How are we supposed to get started? Probably by finding a proper exploit, but I can only wait for that
Bin4ry said that his root won't work (I checked out on the pre-FeelUX firmware as well) and I still haven't got an answer from the guy responsible for SHBreak. Maybe somebody who speaks Japanese could help in the communication process
hi guys,
well, here we are....bought the mobile in Taiwan, like the display and it was cheap (11900 NTD which is around 300 euro). no root modified ROM or rooting available.
wondering how long it will take...

oh
we are obviously too early, released in e few countries only...
I got mine few days ago from HK, You get a lot for 300e...
I can put it in fastboot, does that mean phone is unlocked, or you can have fastboot on locked phone?

Hi,
This phone is brand new and is the WCDMA version of the Golden Warrior. Best value 4G and spec available in mu opinion.
I had the phone delivered to the UK today from China.
I can't for my life root the phone using any method. I also tried to flash the TWRP from china but no luck. Just goes to the original recovery.
It doesn't come with Gapps which is what I am trying to load.
Anyone can help to translate a rooting/recovery from this forum please? http://bbs.lenovo.com/a8
Actually I managed to flash the recovery and can now root

You have to flash the recovery twice in a row. There is root and gapps in the same forum.
You need to use Google Translate if you can't read chinese.

The files I am downloading from the Chinese website are corrupted.
(also if possible to give guide on the chinese TWRP, and what to do with it).
Also it will be very helpful if you could send the exact URL to the Root guide
and the exact URL for the how to install gapps guide.
Thank you.
I'll be needing this in a few weeks, I ordered one yesterday. Coming from an iPhone too, so it'll be a bit different for me, I wanted a cheap powerful 4G/LTE handset and this seemed to fit the bill quite well.
the phone ain't really that great, my piece has at least one dead pixel, shiny slippery back is just horrible (waiting to buy as soon as possible some replacement), headphones output is just horrible with constant noise/hiss not possible to listen unless you are deaf (compared to zero noise in TCL S950), brightness of display is quite weak (again compared to TCL S950) and let's not forget heavily customized Androd 4.4.2 with tons of crappy Lenovo software (unlike Coolpad F1 which has AOSP Kit Kat), but at least after root you can disable the evil Lenovo app Security which will try to make you commit suicide (btw. don't upgrade it, unless you speak Chinese, since Lenovo engineers are so amazing they can't even provide English from within the update and let's not forget horrid English localization in general and missing any other languages than Chinese and English)
here I wrote review of my new Lenovo A8 aka A806 (WCDMA/FDD-LTE) Golden Warrior bought for 111EUR (shame there is nothing available in better body with normal sound even if I would be willing to pay 20-30% extra for design and better sound) and tutorial HOW TO ROOT LENOVO A806/A8 it with links provided (I am using URL shortener service since XDA won't allow me to link my own tutorial because apparently I am spammer when I wanna help other people):

Thank you PeterMarkoff !!
Can you explain me in stage 1: what is "+ choose MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin"? I didn't understand what it is and I didn't see this file anywhere else.
Thanks again
I am sorry but because of Recaptcha I must post from mobile (where I have free proxy only for few mins), so can't write long posts and they are full of typos, if you have questions better write on my blog.
Open MTK flash tool, change language to ENG which should there already as well in Settings/General/Download "DA DL All with checksum" should be checked. Then just choose as Download-agent MTK Allinone DA bin which is supplied together with MTK flash tool and Scatter-loading file choose alston_fddopen which is in TWRP Recovery folder. Whole process of flashing 2 times is quite straightforward, only major thing which needs to be said is that battery needs to be removed to completely shut down phone (and do this also when phone starts automatically booting after successful flashing), otherwise it didn't worked for me no matter how many times I successfuly flashed phone there always stayed original Lenovo recovery.
In this Chinese thread you have picture tutorial in first post which is selfexplanatory even in Chinese:
bbs lenovo com/a8/t402705/ (replace missing spaces with dots)
Hahah, I see the guy added also photos for Chinese TWRP for international users, since he saw my posts there. Not sure what is possible to see wihout registration to forum. Here is my screenshot how it should look after successful flashing when you can remove battery and do it for 2nd time and then after 2nd time boot into TWRP recovery.
oi57 tinypic com/2z8tix0.jpg (replace missing spaces with dots)
Btw. yesterday I already tried Xposed, but it informed me that A806 is running probably Aliyun OS (CN crap) fork of Android so it's not recommended to install Xposed to avoid bootlops and other things, which I am not missing since it's similar situation with TCL S950 my wife has, she can't run anything higher than Xposed 2.3.1 otherwise it would end up in bootloop, but at least it seem like proper Android and not some Chinese fork.
Special thank you goes out to my Slovakian friend who lives currently in China. You totally nailed it with your tutorial.
Thanks again to you Markoff :good:
a808t
A have a8 golden warrior but td-scdma version. Is td-scdma hardware related or software? Can I flash a806 firmware with a808t unit? Ty in advance
No, you CAN NOT flash A806 firmware into A808T and vice versa, they are different. But there are actually tons of A808T ROMs on Chinese websites, much more than for A806 which is not that popular option in China. You should also know that 3G and 4G in your phone will work ONLY in China, everywhere else in world you have just 2G phone even without 3G.
ic. Is there a custom recovery in english for a808t/a806? The one I saw the that site is chinese
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Im hoping that there's any kindess developer would come out with a stable cm rom for A806

Hi there,
I haven't seen any files for rooting a Softbank Galaxy S6 Edge. Is there anything out there?
Softbank is one of the top four or five cellphone carriers in Japan.
From the android "about" screen:
model number 404sc
android version 5.0.2
baseband 404scscu1aof2
kernelversion 3.10.61-5183936
build number lrx22g.404scscu1aof2
From rebooting into the bootloader
product name sm-g925z
I've seen there are other (I suppose American/UK carrier) sm-g925_ files available for cf auto root, but apparently not the z model specifically.
As far as I'm aware I can't use a non-z file for my z-model phone without risking bricking the phone.
Is there anyone currently working on this? Is there anything I can do / check to use another file or to assist development on this z model?
Many thanks
Ben

I'm in the same boat as you I've been searching on xda and the web for any root access to the 404sc. Got my s6 edge from Softbank too. If you found a solution let me know and I'll do the same. Also what part of Japan are you from?
Thanks again.

Just a heads up still have not found a way to root the 404sc but we may be able to flash a unbranded Samsung firmware that would be 5.1.1.

hai, still can't root s6 edge softbank (404sc) ? maybe this will help you to rooting. Just try with twrp recovery. And use twrp 2.8.6.0 (chinese - zeroltezt).
its work 100% for me.

Thanks dikmutun for the suggestion but to install twrp recovery you have to be rooted first. Do you own a 404sc and are using softbank? If you have have root please tell us the procedure so we can share this with other 404sc users.

Thanks for the responce so you use Japan softbank phone in indonesia? Is the LTE BANDS the same as Japan LTE? I looked at the website you suggested but was difficult to follow tell your procedure if you can again. If your rooted I don't think you can get OTA now. On a different subject have you found a way to unlock your boooader?
Did you also try flashing the Hong Kong 9250 stock rom for the 404sc?
dikmutun's advice works, thanks!
Update from original poster. Problem solved. I used dikmutun's exact advice below for downloading Odin and the Chinese TWRP tar file.
I got root with no problems.
After a bit more playing around with root apps, I can now tether my cellphone data to wifi hotspot, edit my APN, backup my apps with titanium backup.
Thanks!

questions/feedback please
hey guys,
Glad to see some Softbank's GS6 Edge users here.
I am thinking also of getting this phone from Softbank this coming Nov. 2015.
But I am still thinking about it since I am reading a lot of users having some problems with it especially Battery life, RAM management and Lags.
Since you already have the GS6 Edge, how was it?

hey guys,
Glad to see some Softbank's GS6 Edge users here.
I am thinking also of getting this phone from Softbank this coming Nov. 2015.
But I am still thinking about it since I am reading a lot of users having some problems with it especially Battery life, RAM management and Lags.
Since you already have the GS6 Edge, how was it?

The main issue is battery life if your a medium to heavy user be prepared to have a portable charger by mid day. If your a light user you should be able to not charge until later on the evening. Great phone just the battery life could be better. On a side note if you decide to get it get the gold color looks sweet. Never get tired at look in at my phone!

Hi Primod808,
Thanks for the feedback.
If battery is the only main problem, i think i can deal with it since i am always carrying a powerbank.
My great concern is the lag or sluggishness.
Are you encountering it? Is it tolerable?
I still have some more questions if you don't mind.
What was your phone before the GS6?
How long you've been using your GS6?
Have you successfully rooted it?
If yes, is it possible to remove all Softbank's unnecessary Apps?
I am very sorry for so many questions.
By the way, yes, just in case i'll be getting the GS6, i am planning to get the gold platinum color also.
Thank you in advance.
I have a 404sc model JP Galaxy s6.
I used this method to get root access.
I can detect no problems at all.
I do not use the standard touchwiz **** UI.
I use ADW-EX launcher. by far the best Ive seen

Sorry for abuse but I heven't got idea how i can change the software in this phone. Plese help me and give me an advice in this prolem

I did the same with my Nubia Z9 Mini and Z9 Max.
The info you need is on this site:-
http://bbs.nubia.cn/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=725&filter=typeid&typeid=443
You will need to root thew phone, then use another recovery (TWRP - details also on this page) to flash the google apps, which you can get from here:-
http://opengapps.org/
Use chrome and auto translate it, have a good read through, make a list of the steps you need to take, download the necessary files/packages and take your time.
If I get some time, I may make a package, which makes it easier to root, reboot it into twrp (without flashing it to the phone) etc.
Hope that helps
Thanks for the answer.
I do not know that I can read Chinese. But I'll try it with chrome.
Unfortunately, I am not an advanced in changing software or rooting phones. I'm afraid that I will be blocked the phone after a failed attempt. Chinese translation may be inaccurate or unclear.
You first need to root and then add Google Play. Search in the official blog of nubia online shop (nubiamobileshop) for the following terms. They are translated in English and have screenshots, so you will not have a problem. I'm a new user and I cannot post direct links.
