afraid to learn what else I don't know

I've had my GTi9300 China Unicom (bought locally in Shenyang) for a week or so now. That would be CSC I9300CHUEMD2

I'm a Canadian. I've been living in the Shenyang area for 3 years now.

I'm gonna plunk my message here because understanding what CSC is, and knowing how to pull that info off the phone is pretty much the pinnacle of what I've been able to accomplish so far.

I had 2 goals after buying my phone. The 1st is to get it to work in English (beyond what it will do if you simply change the Language and Input Language settings.)

Check item 1 (mostly)! I Did a backup and recovery using Kies, and now I get only a few messages and prompts in Chinese.

The second is to be able to unblock my phone at least to the extent that I can access Google Play an replace some of the crappy stock apps with things I like. Slightly modded Samsung to full stock Android -- or anything in between, would be great.

I've spent quite a few hours reading generic (not model specific) guides, howto's, and a few YouTube vids (not so easy in PRC) on the rooting and ROM flashing process. I've some read things that were model specific, but said nothing about regional settings, although I knew they existed at a firmware level.

Now, by reading this thread, I've gotten detailed, specific information, and I'm feeling like my modest goal is out of reach. My other computer used to be a Linux box, but I was never a command line whiz. Also the other computer got left Canada, and I don't even know if I have my trusty Knoppix Live CD anymore. If I did, I don't know if I could navigate the directories and extract the tarballs to the right locations.

I feel lost . How do I get from here to there? Am I wise to even attempt it?

Thanks

You can go to a local internet cafe or find somewhere a computer with Windows OS for 10 minutes (maybe ask a friend or try at school, i dont know how the situation is there).

Then download Odin from somewhere, it doesn't matter from where.

Afterwards download this file as .tar.md5 file from here (Sorry im not allowed to post links just google "philz touch cwm for s3" and it will appear)

Now boot your phone into download mode and wait until the drivers are installed and odin recognizes your device.

Then put the downloaded file to the pda tab and flash it to your phone.

Now you have a custom recovery and more important a rooted phone.

All you have to do then (you dont need a computer anymore) is to download mobile Odin and install it to your phone (it is a normal .apk file)

and then download your favorite Firmware or Custom Firmware everything works(Canadian for you?) and flash it via mobile odin.

You can not flash the Firmware via Odin on your Computer.

If you do not know how you get in to download mode or other basic things, then google it.

Flashing international ROMs on Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300_CHN_CHN

Hi everybody...!

I'm new here. I also have a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300, but unfortunately bought in China....! Now my warranty period is over and I'm struggling with this phone since one month to install an international ROM on it. Eventually I came to know that the bootloader of this variant is locked and then I tried the method introduced by one of the members of this forum. Link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2406482

I used the appropriate UK firmware with existing Chinese one to make a custom ROM and flashed it via Odin. But unfortunately I lost my IMEI and found my serial number changed...! Anyhow I managed to recover both of them by re-flashing my original Chinese ROM.

So I would like to ask if anybody knows how to unlock the bootloader of this variant. So we can flash international ROMs and those who wish to flash custom ROMs will also be able to do so with no problem.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S III General] Cpaez:
62]tested on my CHN_CU firmware , and it worked .

taken indian rom (I9300XXELLC_I9300ODDEMA2_I9300DDELK1_HOME.tar.md5) and edited with CHN_CU firmware (KIES_HOME_I9300ZNEMD2_I9300CHUEMD2_1133994_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5) .

merged using your method and flashed correctly and now am having indian rom but custom count now 2 .[/QUOTE]

Good for you!.. it still working on 4.3
[Galaxy S III General] johnthelemon:
International Rom on I9300_CHN_CHN

Hi there, I have an I9300_CHN_CHN, with 4.3 installed (I9300ZCUBMK2_I9300CHNBMK2_I9300ZCUBMK2_HOME.tar.md5). Phone in perfect condition (good IMEI, registers on network).

I tried the method described here to make it "European" (get Play Store and European languages). So I got this firmware: I9300XXUGMK6_I9300VFGGMK4_I9300BUUGMK1_HOME.tar.md5, and kept all partitions from it, except modem, sboot and tz, which I got from the chinese rom.

I packed the tar and it flashed okay, but after system startup *#06# shows IMEI as null, and *#1234# shows only AP and CSC, without CP, as if I had no modem.

If I flash back the chinese rom, phone is working ok again. And obviously I can't flash the european rom alone, as that fails on modem.

Both these firmwares are "MKx"... that should be November 2013, so new EFS format.

Any ideas as to what the problem might be?
[Galaxy S III General] NikoBellic90:
Hi there - I've the exact same problem as you. When I flash mixed firmware (France & China) it installs perfect via Odin, but it won't connect to anything (i'm still located in china), using chinese unicom simcard.

When i re-install "original" chinese firmware everything is perfect.

Names of firmware is:

I9300XXUGMK6_I9300VGFGML1_VGF/I9300XXUGMK6_I9300VGFGML1_I9300XXUGMK6_HOME.tar

I9300ZCUBML1_I9300CHNBML1_CHN/I9300ZCUBML1_I9300CHNBML1_I9300ZCUBML1_HOME.tar
[Galaxy S III General] Tencen:
!!1!

I also have exactly the same problem as you. Actually I posted about this problem one or two weeks ago in this thread. I tried with UK rom mixed with CHN rom. I got not only the same results you got but also found my serial number was changed...!

I'm a foreign student studying in China and my phone is Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300_CHN_CHN. I want to get rid off this useless, stupid** and low quality Chinese stock rom and install an internationl stock rom that has google apps. At the beginning of this thread the author says the bootloader of this variant is locked. ( may be there is some other reason as well...)

So, assuming the cause for this problem is the "locked bootloader" I opened a thread on XDA under the name of "Unlocking the bootloader of Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300_CHN_CHN"in order to find a solution. But unfortunately I didn't find any solution.... !

I can't even root my phone. It doesn't give Super User access , so no root access. Can you root your phone, do you have the root access ?

**(Baidu can never replace the position of Google in android)
[Galaxy S III General] NikoBellic90:
I haven't tried to root the phone. Just wan't european standarts on my phone and most important be able to use the phone when i return to Denmark (i'm a foreign student as well).

So if anyone out there knows how to solve this issue please feel free to tell ;)
[Galaxy S III General] amitdear4u:
Solved !!!

I have solved this issue.. please reply if anybody still facing problems..

I flashed with stock china, then extracted system.img from stock india

saved system.img as sytem.tar with total commander, & only flashed

newly created system.tar with odin.. thats all.. working 1000%.. Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] jamesyb0i:
Hi there

Glad to know you found a solution!

Could you provide the indian system file?

The hotfile mirror links are dead and it takes a long time to download the firmwares

Cheers
[Galaxy S III General] jamesyb0i:
damn thought i fixed it but the phone doesn't make calls!

imei number is 00049....

i guess the phone is broken now!?!
[Galaxy S III General] tinamanus:
I think so.
[Galaxy S III General] Tencen:
It's a pleasure to hear that you solve the problem. I tried to my best and still can't get it done the way I want. Whenever I flash a mixed rom created according to the method introduced in this thread, I loose my serial number and IMEI number. So I can't make calls when I get Google apps...! But when I flash the original Chinese stock rom, I get my serial number and IMEI back. So I'd like to ask you how you did this ( in detail) and which version of Galaxy s3 your phone belongs to .( China mainland version, China Unicom version or some other version of Galaxy s3 )

Thank you.
[Galaxy S III General] faiton13:
Help me !!

Help me !! I have the same problem, I have a galaxy s3 CHN with android 4.3, someone I can spend your mixed :crying:
[Galaxy S III General] bsbwanted:
Hello Tencen :)

I got same problem , seems like this method works on Galaxy S3 with an original version lower then 4.3 ,its not working on me too , i can install it succesfully but loose my imei and since i search over the internet there is no way to recover it , only to flash stock 4.3 Chn rom ( Even when i install original CHN rom 4.1.2 or 4.1.1 it installs normally but still i loose my imei) it needs the stock 4.3

since it been a long time since you posted , i wanna ask if u finded a way to do it with installing Rom or by just staying on chinese rom but finding a way to get play store ,

Thank you

Sorry for my english xD
[Galaxy S III General] mullafabs:
I need the international version please.
[Galaxy S III General] auconban:
Now I am using a 4.3's kernel which could be working normally on Hyper's rom for my I9308.

It should be replace

1.boot.img

2.modem.bin

3.\system\lib\libsec-ril.so

then the new rom could be flashing and working.

2 questions. Which software did you use to make this skin? Can you make a skin similar to Poweramp's default skin for PlayerPro?
[Android Themes] jake044:
I really like the look of the iOS 7 theme.
[Android Themes] RealPetChicken:
Used the apk tool to decompile an existing theme, and created the png's in photoshop. Changed colors and everything through the xml files. It was a bit tricky in some areas.
[Android Themes] RealPetChicken:
Yes, I can probably make a theme like power amps. Depends if it looks good.
