1. You probably don`t have the firmware that is specific for your country. Where do you live and what firmware version do you have? Type in the phonepad *#1234# and post that here please. 2. Or the phone wasn`t new and it is a repaired or refurbished device, look here for instance http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1891519. If that is the case demand a new phone with the seals of the box intact. I`am betting on number 2.

Is it unbranded or a carrier branded device? BTW you should have posted this question in Q&A. Your rom doesn`t appear to be an Israeli rom afaik.

Then I flashed it with SP Flash Tool. The phone turn on well and I have access to the recovery mode. The problem is I can't use my touch panel and the menu and back keys! only physical keys work. So I'm stocked at the slide page!
Do anybody have the same phone?
If so is it possible to have a backup of this phone with all necessery files by using this posts?:

This is how I rooted my S3 i9300 mtk6577 you can try this but with caution and at your own risk.
- Install the MTK6577 usb drivers http://www.4shared.com/rar/0MvyztbR/...oid_ZTE_.html? cau2=403tNull
- Download the rooting .rar file (v2) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1886460
- Enable USB-Debug option from settings and Close all apps;
- Connect the phone to USB and click RunMe.bat file and select option 3
- Click Restore option on mobile to backup data.
- Mobile should reboot twice and the command prompt on ya PC shows this msg: "Successful, going to reboot your device!"
Install RootChecker from play store and verify the phone is rooted or not.
Install TitaniumBackup from play store and take full backup.
Use "Root App Delete" from play store to delete Chinese apps
PS do this with caution.

[Q] Invalid IMEI on Chinese Galaxy S3?!

Hello guys!
I am new to this forum and to this problem too. I do not have much experience in "phones". Anyway here it is my problem. I have recently got a CHINESE Samsung Galaxy S3 from a friend because he complained he cannot use it due to the Invalid IMEI error. Yes, it is a clone at a price of around 150$. Besides the fact that the IMEI shows as INVALID , the phone is 90% like the real one. The 10% consists of the poorer display resolution and the fact that the AUDIO does not work while using the JB 4.1.1 OS. There is no hardware problem because this Chinese phone also has a separate OS for "tests"( where you can test if the features of the phone are working properly...i dont know if the original one has this "sub-OS" too. On this "Sub-OS" there also is a feature called "Version" where it shows the properties of the phone. However, when it comes to the IMEI it says UNKNOWN). Now when I enter the "About Phone" in JB 4.1.1 I get this information:
Model Number: GT-I9300
Android Version: 4.1.1

Build Number: IMM76D.I9300.ZSALED.9P017.6628
*** I don't know if this makes any sense but my PC found this Phone while USB Connected as Android mt65XX Phone
I Also tried that SUPERONECLICK program and tried ROOTING it. At the first attempt the program announced me that the OS has Already been Rooted ( Which I think it is normal since the phone is not original) I cannot use the POWER+HOME+Volume Down option ( Maybe because the phone is not original) so I cannot get into the DOWNLOAD Mode ( or smth like that)
What can I do to get a working IMEI so that i can make Phone calls. I live in Romania ( Europe ) and the phone recognises my SIM Operator ( Cosmote). So...any hope for my friend or he has to return his phone? :/ Thanks!

What do you mean by that? The policy of the forum does not allow fake phones or you simply don't know how to do it?

I mean that this section is for the i9300, and your device has almost nothing in common with it
Yeah, he is right this forum its exclusive for s3, its imposible for anyone to help you because you device only its a copy bro.. u have jelly bean and all stuff of galaxy s3, but support you it's completely imposible, only its possible with the original device because anyone in this forum known how your phone's works
Good luck bro!

[Q] need help with my mobile, i rooted then unrooted now i cannot update

Hi their all im matt
what it is i have the samsung galaxy s3 i9300 i bought it from carphone warehouse a while back in london (uk obviously) on sim only, so it wasnt branded etc.
Anyway shortly after a while i wanted to root it as i heard about all the benefits etc, so i used the samsung toolkit 7.0 and it rooted fine
anyway for some reason i ened up unrooting it i cannot remember why but i did, and now my device status shows as MODIFIED, and the OTA updates does seem to work as it just says searching but does nothing, ( im guessing this is because i unrooted and the device status says modified)
but before i rooted in the first place i never wrote down what firmware was on the model ( obviously the stock rom but i dont know what rom it was seen as i bought it from carphone warehouse in the uk)
but i wish to root my mobile again but also have the stock rom what came with the actual phone installed.
the rom information on my mobile is :
andorid version: 4.1.2
Baseband version: i9300XXELKC
Kernal version: 3.0.31-742798 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT SAT DEC 22 17:04:04 KST 2012
Build number JZO54K.I9300XXELKC
can anybody tell me if this is the stock rom that came on my phone when i bought it from carphone warehouse or did i do something wrong when i rooted it in the first place and its installed some other rom. as i just want the stock rom and be able to update as normal but be rooted and device status to be OFFICAL and not MODIFIED
hope somebody can help me with step-by-step instructions
thank you
I've rooted and unrooted a few times, and yes because it says modified you are unable to update. The easiest way and the way i have previously done it was download
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488
and run the flash stock via Odin, this will download a stock firmware which it will then install. Follow the steps to the letter though.
Ive managed to update via kies previously and had an OTA update for it too.
The Uk unbranded firmware version is BTU, if it asks and i believe if you install XXELLA it will then update via kies.
Hi i used the samsung toolkit v7.0 like you said and ODIN loaded up and used the flash thingy but it does nothing to my mobile.
it still says
andorid version: 4.1.2
Baseband version: i9300XXELKC

so what firmware should be on my galaxy s3, if i bought it from carphone warehouse in uk should it be BTU or ELLA

BTU is the country code for the firmware. Basically a uk firmware has BTU on it. ELLA is the firmware version. I flashed that one and it was 06 on the selection screen from that toolkit. I managed to do firmware upgrade OTA successfully.
Now that odin has finished does it still say modified?

what is happening i dont understand, thank you i appreciate your time helping me to get my mobile back to normal
Im at work till 9 but I'll try and run the flasher and set mine back to stock to see if I can run the update afterwards.
Like I said ive done it before so unless they have changed something in one of the updates to ELLA it shluld bw working. Ill post again once ive done it and let you know

right i heard about a csc changer and as you said before my samsung galaxy s3 should be on BTU, but it appears it wasnt, it looked like it was on XEO.
so i installed csc changer from the google play and it reset my mobile.
device status: says normal,
in download mode, everything is offical again.
but im not rooted
how do i get my mobile rooted without anything changing to custom again
not: i backed up all my apps via titanium
Im pretty sure rooting your device changes it back to modified as its flashes a new image.
Triangle away by chainfire can reset the flash counter so possibly give that a try.
