Volume Up instead of down.
That sounds like a fake device though, as that's not the correct details for a genuine I9100. So I doubt anything on XDA will work for it.

It's not a real I9100... Kies shouldn't ask for a model and serial number that I know of... It sounds like a fairly poor attempt at a clone... All these are totally wrong:

The likelihood is that KIES is asking for that information because it doesn't know what you've connected to it. I would suggest that you listen to Pulser - you have bought one of the many clones out there, which means that there will be no official support, no unofficial support and probably no way of ever getting anything other than the firmware you bought it with.

You're doubting an Elite Recognized Developer AND Senior Moderator on xda-developers.com?
Clearly, you don't know what you're talking about. I suggest you start reading up on the GT-I9100 and it's codes, then you'll see that you bought a clone. I own a GT-I9100 myself and it does NOT have the model #, baseband and software version you're posting.
I'm sorry in advance if this post sounds harsh to you, but evidently you seem to ignore the facts and this is the only way to get through to you.
The reason I can be so certain is because that's not a Samsung version string...
A samsung modem uses the XXLK6 style of naming...
XX = region code
L = 2012 (L is 12th letter of the alphabet)
K = November (K is 11th letter)
6 = build number that month.
For full version strings they also include the model number ie. I9100XXLK6
That version string just isn't the right one for a genuine i9100... It's not am official S2. Googling those version numbers only shows me Vietnamese website forums of users with these fake devices...

You bought it from a local market - what did you really expect to happen? Take it back to the seller and demand your money back - IF he was claiming it to be genuine. If he wasn't then you get no sympathy at all.

Since it was mentioned to be some special edition... That might be the issue. There wasn't a special edition... Also I'm sure the price was much lower than the price of a genuine one... A real galaxy s2 was £400 new on day of purchase.
I'd say the current value new is around £220.
If you were paying well under the price, you need to ask what is wrong with it. Either it is stolen, fake, or broken...
It's an unfortunate lesson, but an important one. Always try to buy your electronics from reputable stores, that are linked to the manufacturer somehow...
Be thankful the charger or phone hasn't caught fire (this is an issue on some fake electronics I've looked at, due to them failing to add safety features)

What would make you think that it is not a real Samsung S3? The phones info all appears to be fine. The imei # is different on each, so I do not know how you would look it up? Either way you should be safe from what i can tell

The error looks more like a website error (unable to load the included page).
fake or not
I looked up the number on a site and got nothing, i have a feeling it was a fake site just to steal numbers.
I even chatted with a samsung guy on the site and he said it was legit.

Install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hotdog.truth and it will tell you if it it genuine or not.

Thanks for the reply, but the developer of that app (Jamesweng) doesnt even work with samsung.
How can his software detect it????? and how do we know its legit in finding out if a phones fake or not????
Looks real

Bottom lime in, if you are so unsure even after out input, DONT buy the phone, otherwise purchase away!! I personally never heard of a fake SG3 but im only one person in my little corner of the world. Bet you were using this as well to check!!?? (http://www.samsunguniverse.com/samtools/samwarranty/)
Either way, i'd say take your chances!!
Looks like a problem with samsung's website, not an error relating to the phone information being not genuine.
Id say go for it. The s3 is a solid phone.

seller is very honest man who said he was cheated by who sold to him thinking he bought genuine product. He turn down my offer of return for full refund or he send me rom for partial refund. He said i should keep product for full refund.

Hey any of you guys will have a rom, firmware or endorsement of this cell phone is exact clone of Huawei p6 but with MediaTek 6589 processor ??? The urgent need because my phone is from these clones were hurt and do not get the ROM to flash it .. Please help this is my mail [email protected]

There it is thanks to parker5
friend hast sent the link is down, not working ... please help I really need that firmware clone mediatek 6589 p6.
Hello there.
I'm about to receive one of these from Gearbest, and from what I've read, it's likely that it will come with WW software but the device itself it's the CN version.
I already have bookmarked the tutorial to flash everything to WW, but my doubt is, what about LTE bands? Is it really possible to unlock all bands? How?
Is there anything anyone can recommend for this device regarding roms and mods?
Thank you in advance.
I know that the question may be a little noob-ish, or even a bit stupid (I don't know), but please, can anyone help?
its seems that nobody have this phone. Im going to buy one in aliexpress, it looks like a great phone but, without suport.
When and if you two get these phones and depending on what they are which you dont know at the minute, there is a forum for ze551ml which covers everything from bricked devices to changing LCDs

No need to be ironic man, I have my fair share of XDA experience, I just never came across a region-specific device that inspite having the same hardware worldwide, doesn't have all network frequencies available on every baseband... What I asked basically was, is it really possible to have all LTE bands available on a CN device, and secondly, based on users experience here, is there any rom, kernel or mod that you can recommend...

Mine is from Gearbest, it's not a fake, but the problem is... They only sell the CN version of the Zenfone, and what they do to sell it to Euro users is flash the WW version of the firmware but they don't convert the device fully. Anyway, for 123 euros is still not a bad deal, considering its the 4gb ram version.
Thanks for your help

Download FW from SAMFIRM for the device - Flash with ODIN for the device with your countries FW
See if that will allow it around...

The Tab S4 has just been released. How is that end of line?
For what reason would a store sell a demo model when stock is still available?

First off - Great to see you here - Noticed you had created a Tab S4 TWRP
Second - I agree with you. But if you are over here in the UK - CPW and O2 barely have any stock of these... Ive seen a couple of stores sell demo units in some capacities. Back in 2012 - When Comet went under - They were selling Demo units real cheap for IPADs etc because of administration.
If the user has picked up a demo unit lawfully (Notice how i say that ) Then it could be that a store was going to stock the device but due to delays in procuring etc (CPW had issues and pushed back release from Samsung by WEEKS!) they no longer plan to stock it.
Either way there are numerous reasons why they have a demo unit. Some legal some not so much... But either way while we dont know the full circumstances... We can assist if need be.
If the OP has stolen / obtained unlawfully then there is very little that can be done apart from to block the IMEI.
I wonder if the OP would like to tell us how he acquired said device,...

See that's the issue. These devices are not supposed to be released to the public, but destroyed.
I agree there are instances where demo devices end up in public hands, but not usually brand new recently released devices.
FRP is meant to protect unlawfully 'acquired' devices from being accessed and we get a lot of posts regarding that also.
I'd gladly assist anyone with a legitimate issue, but I feel uneasy with this sort of thing without actual proof of 'aquirement' especially considering posts related to unlawful practices are not allowed on XDA.
I'm not pointing fingers here, just voicing concern.
Thats very true with FRP. What should also be kept in mind here.
Samsung's retail mode is very different to the Retail Mode built into Developers Options.
Thing is - If the user does as my advice. Very quickly we will know if there is an issue with the device. It will ask for the original Google Account Assigned to the device ^_^
Lets see what happens
I removed retail software and flash new one and everything is working fine now... It was also some issues with charging but now everything is great. Like this forum!
Sorry for the inconvenience, but the guy sold me and I don't have idea how he got it... In my country there is no possibility to get it so soon after official release.
Can you share solution please
When I try to flash it says no flash interface found
I'd love to get a copy of the DeX switcher app that's included with the real Retail Mode.
