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.

please your comments
This is a request for a ROM for y6 II. There is a large community of users of this terminal that are serching for this. Unfortunately, a lot of us don't know anything of cooking a rom. So this is a call for any development who could make the research. I hope someone could give us a ROM. Because this terminal could be really great with a ROM.
Thanks.
Every Rom for the Huawei P8 Lite works on Huawei Y6 II because it has the same hardware, and there's a huge variety of ROMs like MIUI, Flyme and AOSP

Hello
I need to compile the lenovo p8 tab3 kernel, it's just a little modification in the usb part, so anyone who realizes it should be something fast.
I make a donation by paypal to whom I can solve the problem.
Thank you

Thanks for the answer, I've tried almost all the tutorials but I never can, I always have enough errors
I've been trying for more than a month

Hi. I own a Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro (2016) (SM-A910F/DS) with Android 8.0 (August security patch). It is now out of warranty. I want to root it. I do have prior experience in rooting my secondary Android phone but this phone is my daily driver and hence want some doubts cleared before attempting to root it using Odin. Following are the questions I need answers for:-
I am just going to root my phone to do some small scale customisation. I don't want to flash a custom or stock ROM. Some sources on the internet say that simply rooting the phone won't trip its KNOX flag while others say it will. What is the truth?
If indeed the KNOX flag gets tripped, will I ever be able to use Samsung Pay on my phone again?
If the KNOX flag doesn't trip, will Samsung Pay work on a rooted phone?
The firmware.mobi site hasn't yet updated the SM-A910F's firmware version to that of Android 8.0. My phone had received the Oreo update on 18th October, 2018. Can I still root my phone using whatever latest CF-Auto-Root package I get from there?
How to know if my phone is encrypted? I am confused about this because I haven't manually enabled any kind of encryption on my phone but since there is so much caution regarding rooting an encrypted phone, I don't want to take any chance.
So, these are the 5 questions which I want satisfactory answers for before I root my phone. A good explanation which will ward off my anxiety will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I have now posted this thread there as well. The lack of A9 in the list of devices had discouraged me from posting there.

I understand your frustration but, please remember that developments for devices sometimes take a while before any developments begin to emerge. This is especially true for many Samsung devices too.
Also, the more members who request for a device the better. I can only encourage you to also request for the A9 Series device within the thread from the link that I had provided you with (the last one on my previous post).
Good Luck!

Yes, rooting your phone with CF / TWRP will trip Knox and disable Samsung Pay. Google Pay however will work on a device that has been returned to stock, but not one that has active root. Since it's looking for root as opposed to a Knox bit, this can probably be masked pretty easily if you wanted to use it on a rooted device.
Looking on firmware.mobi, I see 3 releases already for CF on Android 8.0 for your phone.
And your phone most definitely is encrypted. Any Samsung with Android 7.0 from the factory is encrypted. The exception is devices that were running Android 6 or lower that have been upgraded to 7+ and weren't encrypted by the user beforehand.
I rooted my phone a while ago and have now screwed something up on it. It keeps saying ISM service unavailable...every 2 seconds no matter what I try. If you have a fix for that, that's great and I'd love to hear it. However, I am just looking for stock firmware for my Galaxy S7 G930V VRU4CRE5 to fix the problem. I can't find it anyway...I'm also aware that I'm no expert on this stuff so if any other stock firmware, or heck even a custom ROM at this point, works for my version that you can suggest, well then any help is welcome! thank you
