Then I'm running out of ideas of what I can do to help you.

It looks like you need to find someone with the exact same 2013 build as you have and get them to make a backup for you.

btw, where did you buy the phone?

Finally after flashing several ROMs that have been mentioned in the thread, I am able to unbrick my samsung-i9300 mt6575.

Guys , I'm using the same phone like your , I found a problems that , the Google contact not sync and not even have it on the list .

Please refer my attachment for the print screen .
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pappiedappie:
Flash GAPPS for ics, google it for the right link or walk through this thread. I believe I post it a few pages back (or in another thread about this phone)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] amyren:
I just came across this page that seem to have another Lewa based rom for this phone:

http://www.needrom.com/mobile/gt-i9300-3/

I have not tested it yet, so I cant say if this is the same build as the other Lewa rom (http://www.i9300-mtk6575.my/2013/01/rom-lewa-for-samsung-galaxy-s3-mtk6575.html). If it is based on the same rom, it must have some modifications or addons, because the filesize is a bit bigger.

If anyone dares to test it, please report here if its a good rom or not.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pappiedappie:
downloading now, when i've time i'll test it. thx for the link

update 1 : Installed the rom, first impression is good. Camera app is updated, zoom is possible now. I'll report more later.

update 2 : I've encountered a big bug...the location service is not working, so weatherapps etc. are not working correctly. To bad, rom looks very nice and everything else seemed to work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amyren:
Thanks for testing. A few questions if you dont mind.

1. Does the camera (front and back) work without showing the image upside down?

2. What android version does it show in the about phone?

3. GPS, probably not working anyway on this phone, or what?

4. How does this rom handle the storage, internal storage, SD and SD2?

The reason for me asking this is that on my phone the internal app storage on the original ICS was 512MB, internal SD 2GB and my external SD card (mounted as sdcard2) was 32GB. The 4.1.9 rom remapped this to internal storage 2GB, SDcard 32GB, and sdcard2 512MB.

The other lewa rom I did try before did only remap SD and SD2.

About the reported bug. I just googled this, and it seems like location services not working is a quite commom problem on many android devices.

A few people reported that it was working again after doing this:

Go to Settings » Location services and unchecked the Location and Google search option

Reboot

Go back to Settings » Location services, rechecked the Location and Google search option

Toggle the Use wireless networks option, answer the prompt about your network location in third-party apps (or something similar)

Another suggestion I noticed was to go to apps and clear the application data for the apps that have the problem.

Also found one solution that involved downloading a certain version of networklocation.apk and replacing the one that came with the rom.

Perhaps its possible to extract networklocation.apk from another working rom and replace the one in the Lewa rom.

There is also some posts about the problem on xda forums (probably more as well)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] pappiedappie:
[MENTION=4998216]amyren[/MENTION].

I've quitte the same questions/problems as you and I can only say that the camera was working good, no upside down issues. The other questions I can't answer right now because when I encountered the problem of the location bug, I removed the rom after trying the suggestions you've found to. Only the option of replacing the networklocation.apk (extracting from another rom), I didn't do that. Mayby I'll give that I try, or perhaps someone can help me with that. The rom looks and feels good and when the location bug can be fixed, I'll surely install the rom again to try it out further.

update : I installed the rom again, trying to fix the location problem. So now I can answer your other questions.

1) Camera as said works fine, you now can even zoom with it

2) it has a different layout as normal. It give Lewa version Lewa_13.02.20 Android version 4.0.4

3) gps: After about 1 minute using the app GPS test I see one satellite. I think the gps is working when adapting the gps.conf file like I've done with the other roms. You said it's probably not working on this phone, but with my other rom (4.1.9) I can make it work on my device.

4) Storage: in system settings --> storage I see; Phone storage 2 Gb system space and 16 Gb internal storage (my sd card) and the option SDCARD reads 486 Mb. So I don't think that's working correct either but I noticed a different when installing TB (cracked version) which now I can use, while I couldn't use it on the other rom(s). I must try calendar snooze from the market to see if there is a difference. Couldn't use that app either (p.s. doesn't still working. I believe it has to do with the card assignments)

So the only problem for me stays the location bug..... Meanwhile I tried all the options you mentioned (though I did tried almost all of them already) but so far no luck. I hope someone can help me and give the golden solution
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amyren:
Thanks for the testing.

I said that the gps probably not working, because many with this phone have had issues with the gps even with the original rom.

In my case it needs to be outdoor in good condition for several minutes to even get a single sattelite, and rarely I have managed to get a fix on it. Many times I get no signal at all.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pappiedappie:
Oke, try the gps file I attached. It's the gps.conf file for France, so change the french settings for the norway servers in your case. Copy the file gps.conf (not the zip, so extract that file) to your phone and place it into the root directory /etc. Change the permissions into --- r-x rwx. For me those permissions was needed in this way. Reboot, use the app GPS test from the market and see what happens. Leave it at least 10 min. on if nothing happens immediatly, then perhaps you will have a lock.

EDIT: for some reason, that gps file doesn't work well with this rom. Try this if you want:

download this rom http://rapidshare.com/files/4229411740/samsung_MTK6575_20121123.zip

it's also the 4.1.9 rom but I think it's an earlier version and I thought it was the same rom as you use (and the one I was using now), but it is a different one. I was using that rom before I flashed "your" rom, and it is a rom which is working a little better on my phone. The gps is working better at least.

When you want to try this, make a nandroid of your current rom and perhaps a TB backup for putting your apps and data easily back.

delete all user data

format system

clear dalvik cache

flash that rom

After you customize (or ofcourse immediatly if you prefer) the rom, then you can put that gps.conf file the way I wrote above. All should work fine now, at least in my case.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] pappiedappie:
Which version did you find and where (link please)

The only way I've found to keep your data is making a backup with Titanium Backup and put that back. I know you've to install your launcher pages again but all the flashes I've made, I everytime lost all the data :( So TB is my friend in this case. Nandroid is also possible but you can encountered some conflicts when using another rom, but you can try
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hopeless_guy103:
it says 4.0.4 in the desc of the About Phone page.

can you please give me a 1.4.2 download link [A new one, the latest update]

and tell how to install?

NB: I didnt install the first rom, my dad did because i only got the phone yesterday

All needed is the 1.4.2 one, a newer version :D

Bricked!?

Hey guys

I tried installing 4.1.9_mtk6575_cwm_for_FlashTool.zip using flashtool

It installed but my phone doesnt load up :s!

There is a blank screen at startup, and so far, I havnt managed to get it to system recovery!

Can somebody please help!?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pappiedappie:
did you tried the 4.0.4 rom first ? As far as I know for now it's the most basic rom for a S3 clone, at least in my case. I've a clone Samsung S3, DUAL SIM, mtk 6575 based and I've to install this rom first, before I can do anything else.

Click on the link in my sign. and read carefully. Use the rapidshare links to download. Good luck and be sure you've the same phone as I have, otherwise it will not work. As far as I understand it comes very close with mtk based phones which rom you use !!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hopeless_guy103:
Well,

Basically i flashed the 4.1.9_mtk6575_cwm_for_FlashTool.\ip

My dad did 4.0.4 Ages ago, and it worked.

However

When i start up my phone, instead of doing the andriod logo, a white, pixelated screen comes up

Anybody had this before? The buttons seem responsive as they buzz 'Vibrate' but the screen always shows that? And at the top of the screen, you can see slightly better, the pixels are not as messed up!

Also, For me, the http://dl.vmall.com/ links dont work as i get a 502 bad Gateway or other error?

Please help, and thanks for responding
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pappiedappie:
Yes i've had this to and it means you don't have the correct rom, suited for your phone. So you have to search further for the correct rom. Did you tried mine ??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hopeless_guy103:
No? Not yet?

Wheres the link?

I cant access http://dl.vmall.com/ links!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pappiedappie:
See my signature and download the files you need. In short; download the 4.0.4 rom, the modded recovery and the rom you want (read carefully the whole post). Remove the battery from your phone. Start sp flash tool, load the scatterfile from the 4.0.4 rom, click downloading, and while pressing vol+ connect the phone to your pc and wait for the green circle. BESURE YOU HAVE THE SAME PHONE AS I HAVE, otherwise you can make it worser !!!!!!!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hopeless_guy103:
THANK YOU!

I will try it!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pappiedappie:
And, any succes ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hopeless_guy103:
Awesome! hmm..

Yes!

I flashed the dekdee cot 4.1.1 rom over the factory rom and it works GREAT! No probs at all! Thanks!

One thing I did notice, is my dad has a real S3, and some of the things are different, like the notification menu look? Is there a way to change this?

Oh, and is there a way to have the 2.0 Update, as the links are dead [I think]!

I might consider making a thread with a guide and links of all the rom's for new people, but il have to see!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pappiedappie:
As far as I know it's not possible to change the menu look. I noticed too that the original S3 has more features then our clone, but that's why it is a clone :silly:

Which 2.0 update do you mean ?

Oh, and do you have the link for your "dekdee cot 4.1.1 rom"? I don't know if I have that rom and I'm willing to try every possible rom there is... My phone is working good, but not great :p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hopeless_guy103:
Hey

Any 2.0 rom really! Most of the links are dead.

I actually don't know where i got the dekdee cot 4.1.1 Rom!

Is there a 2.0 Rom? or the latest update?

I think that it would be awesome if there was a progrram where you take a rom, put your phone specs in and it creates a new rom for you, optimised for your phone :P
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pappiedappie:
Ghehe, yeah that would be nice lol. But you have the dekdee cot 4.1.1 rom. Is it possible to share it with us ?? Perhaps by creating a rapidshare link or dropbox ?? That would be nice. Thx in advance

dead phone

To JOHNSOURCE

Hi.I need your help.I have a 9300 MT6575 phone.I root the phone and I flash an original Chinese ROM, because my camera is dead.The flash was successfully, but the camera is not working.I use the same SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.01 and I flash a Chinese ROM v22 ,and my phone is dead.When I try to flash an ROM V16, the flashtool does not recognized my device.I press Volume down anf power and I introduce the USB in PC, I heard a sound to connection USB the RED bar is 100%, but nothing happen.I followed your instructions:

„Remove your Sim Cards --- Memory Card --- and Battery

Press the Power button for half a minute... to discharge the remaining power in the phone...

Now open the flash tool and select the scatter file of V16 rom and not V22 as it will brick again...

After pressing download button CONNECT your device with usb ALSO make sure while connecting your device you PRESS the VOLUME UP button on phone other wise your phone won't be detected...

Please make sure you follow the last step... If this doesn't works then you need to open the phone completely and need to follow the checkpoint jumper method which I'll explain you later...”

I think I need to checkpoint jumper method.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] pappiedappie:
I tried severall times to extract the cam app and place it in another rom (using for example Titanium Backup) but no luck so far. I noticed that as soon as I root the phone, the cam is messed up. So again, if you follow my workaround (IF YOU HAVE THE SAME PHONE !!) then at the end you have a 4.1.9 rom with everything working. Scatter file is in the first rom (4.0.4) and in the modified recovery file.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] pappiedappie:
So do I... lol.

I assume you can't restore the data ? So you first need to flash the same "base"-rom as you've done on the other phone. In my link you find a 4.0.4 rom and a 4.1.9 rom Try install one by one these roms and try meanwhile restoring the rom you want. I hope I explain myself well. For some reason CWM needs almost the same rom as from you made a backup. Had the same issue last week.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] pappiedappie:
And visit regulary the site "needrom" (link in my sign) for new roms. One came out few days ago. Not suitable for my phone (dual sim) but I believe it's suitable for a GT-I9300 mtk6575. If you try to flash it through sp flash tools, UNCHECK the preloader and dsp (2 upperlines) so that you're quitte save you can restore your phone if the rom is not suitable for your phone.
