One of my close friend's bf bought Galaxy S3 to her but there is no Android Market in it...
Its include HiMarket and when i try to open it it has an error (com.yyapk.Appstore) closed unexpectedly and i cant open it...
I wanna install new rom on the phone but there is more than one label for Galaxy S3 and i dont know which one of ours...
Somewhere in internet somebody give some codes to refine versions but anyone of those codes didnt work on this phone...
If do i wanna install new custom or stock rom on this phone must i make root this phone or not?
I go to developers website (for example whatasapp) to install application but this time market://details?com.whatsap*blablabla errors shown on the screen... :S
Can anybody help me about these cases?
Thanks a lot from now on...
must root before you flash any customs roms..
Cyanogized HTC 1X
Sounds like a fake if it has himarket instead of playstore that would also explain codes not working

Most probably a fake ..go to settings> about device and check the device name..
sent from here, there, somewhere!!
There is many infos in Settings > About Phone Menu but there is no Device Name option...
What must check it there?
Also if i need to make it root how can i do it and then can i install custom (Turkish included) rom on it or u advice which custom rom?
Thanks...

If it has HiMarket it is not a real Galaxy S III.
It is a cheap chinese clone of the Galaxy S III and no matter what you do it will NEVER be a Galaxy S III.
Close topic, because this phone doesn't even belong to the S III section because it isn't one.
But my friend cant use this phone in this state so i have to do it...
Could you please help me how can i make it root and which (turkish supported) rom u advice to me?
Or can i install another stock rom on this phone after root?

Okay do one thing before going into flashing custom ROMs...
type *#1234# in the dialer and post the output..
Also, install the google play app from here and see if it works..if your phone is not GS3 then flashing/modding using any tool from this subforum will most probable brick your device...so tread with caution...
Make sure you have the original GT-I9300 before you do anything..

When i type *#1234# then i click dial, i get "Connection Problem or MMI Code Not Valid" error...
sorry but it's a fake... flashing anything will most likely brick it.
It's like flashing bmw dashboard firmware into a honda pilot dashboard.. it wont work and will damage the device instead.

Just let the guy flash anything to his pseudo-phone and brick it.
The phone is a fake POS anyway, plus he won`t believe us, so who gives a crap?

OK I have spent ages looking though all the threads on here and I am getting confused with all the numbers and codes
I have a Galaxy II GT-i9100
The the details are
Android Version 2.3.5
Base Version I9100NEK12
Kernal 2.6.35.7-I9100XWK18-CL616395 [email protected] #2
Build Number GINGERBREAD XWK18
I have tried to follow a few links of here to unlock it but the links they show to the 'ODIN' are dead.
All I want to do is Unlock it from the present provider (UK)3 to be able to use another SIM.
Later on I might want to change the ROM
I have Changemod 7 on my old Desire.
Could any kind soul please point me in the right directions for the files software I need.
I know this keeps getting asked over and over again but I do really find the jargon hard to follow.
Thanks again you are a great bunch.
Did you try this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092451

Think you really need to read the roll up sticky thread.
In the mean time.. Do this..
Turn of phone. Take out battery for a minute. Put battery back in..then..
Press volume up, main button at bottom of screen," menu button " and power button at same time and wait for phone to turn on.. You should then be in recovery.. Go down to data/factory reset and select it. Then reboot.

Meant Odin Still can't get the SIM lock to unlock
Hi!
All you need to do is flash a standard firmware with odin.
Here is the thread for Official firmwares, with instructions.
You want:
XWLPD
Firmware info
PDA:XWLPD
PHONE: XXLPW
Date: 08/05/2012
Android 4.0.3
This is ICS and is located 2nd from bottom of third post.
Does it matter it says its for the GT ?
Thanks
any clue on SIMunlocking not working ? DO I need a SIM card in the phone ?
and do I need the Kernal and do I update it after the firmware the same way with Orion ?
Thanks

According to your OP, you have the GT-I9100. If correct then that is the firmware required for an upgrade to ICS. You will not have any sim lock after this and just leave sim in if you like.

Let the phone boot, shut it down. Then as before, flash
CF-Root-SGS2_XX_NEE_LPD-v5.5-CWM5.zip from (unzip and extract tar to flash) here
Please be aware that this is the Official Samsung firmware and you will have Samsung's interpretation ei similar looks to GB.
Hi ive just got message from my friend asking if i could help his friend with takeing back to life his galaxy s2.
As i know he tried to remove simlock, but after this he brick his phone. I know that is hard to know what is wrong from this small description, but i know that he "broke his galaxy s2"
He is getting on phone:
Step 1
error not saved
You have busybox problem, fix it or if you have plugged your phone on ypur computer, unplug it

Or similar. Im third, so there can be some mistakes.
Its sth with busybox, but i dont know what.
Maybe we need only to install busybox or reflash soft? Or its permanent and only service helps?

Why dont you reflash firmware? A fresh install?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
unfortunately you have given little and vague information.
What rom is he running ?
Can he getinto recovery or download mode ?
If he can get into one of these 2 modes, then a simple reflash may solve the problem.
If he cannot get into these modes, then you may need to send it in for repair.
He didn't mess with the EFS folder, did he?
Sent from the little guy
Odp: Brick after simlock
I dont know to much too.
He is using stock ics firmware as "normal" user.
And u gave me an answer that firmware reflash can hel. Thanks. We will try it
EDIT: Ok friends friend dont want to wait and gave device to service paying 60pln (~15€, ~20$) for reflash and it helped.

Sounds like the unlock you used wasn't a permanent one, find your carrier Rom and flash that with Odin.....then get a proper/permanent unlock code

The variables involved to advise you further are too great and risky.

Please do not expect I9300 firmware to be of use to you . As you do not have a Samsung phone suggest you use Google .
This forum is not for you .
If you buy a fake you need to find a fake forum .

You have been answered already - this forum is not for your device, you're asking in the wrong thread, people wouldn't know (and you didn't even state what device you actually have).
It's in your own interest to find a forum dedicated to your device, anything from a different one will just not work at best. At worse you'll get a brand new plastic door stopper
Remove battery, you should find the product number there or even its real brand. Look for that.

was that even necessary to made that thread ?
now i got my answer..he should have made it a year ago..
please read it..
now since u have asked,
take backup of imei via app galaxy toolbox before flashing kernel and restore imei after flashing..
and reboot..
it should.work...
if that doesn't work then don't hesitate to use search button and search about solution to that problem...
you will surely get solution cause imei is a well discussed problem and may be one of the most common problem after bricking..
