Hi there,
i just bought a samsung s3 from a friend who has been using the phone for two years without any problems. i charged it and then wanted to root it. i did it with kingoroot from playstore and got root. then i wanted the TWRP recovery for a rom flashing. i tried to power off and then i was gonna go to the download mode for Odin flashing the recovery but the phone wouldnt turn on.
took it to the technician and he said its Dead, had to replace the board. again that of SGH I747.
Now my question is how is it posibble that a phone with drivers installed on my pc automatically shows the name of GTI9300 and actually is SGHI747. i rooted with kingoroot choosing I9300 and i tried TWRP manager also For I9300. what phone do i have really now it says i9300 behind the battery(under) and the technician says its i747 american model and how to root it safely , what recovery, what rom is best for it, (battery and gaming wise)?????? Plz need REAL help guys... thatnkyou all.
Update
ok guys replaced board and the board says its i747 , the phone says its i9300 and in download mode it says t999 . by searching via imie thru a website it says IMEI Samsung SGH-T999V Galaxy S III . what the hell guys. its rooted and CM 6 recovery done too. what rom do i flash plz help .................. plz someone.
some one plz
This happened with me also but i think u should know what broadcommchipset do you have it will tell you about your phone you can also try special apps from the playstore like cpu z they can tell you what device you have be sure that these apps don't connect to the internet to do so because they might take ur imei number and look for it on the internet this way you wont know what hardware do you have. I am not an expert but i wouldn't recommend flashing rom before you know unless you have time for flashing again and again and researching unbriking...etc. plz let me know if you where able to find a solution

US CELLULAR RIGHT? I think you want this. Flash in Odin http://www.wildthingsgrow.com/olvis/rwdump/ROM/Samsung_R530__Galaxy S III_LG1.zip
And do some reading. Were far from the i9300. You got lucky

But good idea sending a US variant of the phone to go look in the intl' section for stuff to flash. Sure a doorstop will help the op a whole lot SMDH. Why couldn't they have made this phone the same all over like the note ii? The bricks r outrageous lately I swear
thanks for reply ,
Yes it is US variant i m downlading the file and will try & report it if worked.
wbr ,
hanikhurana

and the phone is working now in normal state.

For us to better help you, could you please post a photo of your phone that shows the serial number/model number since if I understand you correctly you don't know which s3 you have. Also of you could to clean up the OP so we can understand you better that would be great if possible.

Hello everyone,
I have a SG Note SHV-E160L Korean mobile. I have found a article about Root the SG Note.
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...on-galaxy-note-gt-n7000-no-computer-required/
So I flashed CWM.tar.md5 file via Odin and flash the Root.zip file via CWM and successfully rooted it. In that video he said after the root, flash the kernel named franco-kernel. So I flashed it via CWM and reboot the device. But it did not power on. I tried to put it into the Download mode, Recovery Mode but no luck. The device is Hard-Bricked. when it connected to charge no sign of charge screen always black :crying:
I want to know is there any method to Unbrick it without usin Riff Box JTAG. Because I have not much money for that service. I took it to the repairing shop and they said the cost it 30$ for JTAG. Please help me is there anything that can do in home without spending money?
Also I found a method named BrixFix to unbrick E160L model. But I did not understand it. If anyone can tell me how to do that, I'll really appreciate it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136738
Thanks!
Please..... anyone? :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
did you manage to unbrick your device?
hey did you manage to unbrick your device or found out how to use brixfix?
hello everyone, please, a .pit file was flashed on a SHV-160L, and the device blinded out, just like how it does when the battery is low. when the battery was recharged i discovered that the phon does not ON anymore neither does it respond to the power botton, please how do I get out of this ****.
PLEASE HELP HELP HELP.

If your device is N7100...then yes...you can use the stock N7100 rom to repair the device..
Regarding the recovery...you can use TWRP latest version for the N7100 device.
Files can be found in that section on xda...g

What repair shop is that ? Is it Samsung official service center ?
Considering the number of times your phone put you in trouble,
I suspect something wrong with your PC. Because all of us have at
some point messed up their phones and we just flash the sammobile
firmware to restore our devices to full functionality.
But that is not the case with your phone.
Speaking of company rom, i think it has the 4 file firmware.
Meaning it has PDA file (with system), BOOT(kernel),
Bootloader,BL and CSC files. Maybe he is using a pit file that works with
kitkat bootloaders.

We do not yet have a 4 file kitkat firmware. We also do not have a pit file that works with knox 2 bootloader.
You can ask the repair shop guy for the firmware. Maybe he will give those files for some price.
Take some pictures of your boot loader and some screen shots of your "about phone" from main settings. Also have a look at this app. Can give you some very detailed info about what's running on your phone currently https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo

Have you tried using kies again? Just wondering if your phone will connect thru that and maybe you could update your software thru this. ...and then maybe your could try changing firmware with Odin afterwards? ? Only an idea. I'm not an expert just a phone user like yourself.
I'm wondering if the shop you went to used something like a jtag which can restore phones directly thru chips instead of the normal Odin way we use. I'm wondering how the shop owner got his hands on a "company" rom. ...
A final solution maybe to take your phone to Samsung themselves to flash it back to its original state.
....that or sell the phone and buy another one to replace it. Might work out cheaper than sending it to Samsung because I have a feeling your not under warranty?
