[Q] What phone do I have?!

[crzyone01]

Ok, so I am trying to figure out what version of the Galaxy S3 I actually own. This was listed as a refurbished I9300 International Unlocked S3 from Amazon.

Upon boot it shows GT-I9300
The sticker on the back of the phone show GT-I9300
Listing phone specs through an app shows - 1.5GB RAM and dual core processor
The ROM information shows GT-I9300 / custom when trying to flash any new roms(the flashes always fail)
When the phone is put into download mode it shows SGH-I747

I am attempting to flash a new custom rom but it fails no matter if I choose I747 or I9300 versions. Cannot for the life of me figure out what this phone actually is to see if I need to attempt flashing new firmware. Any help is greatly appreciated.

i believe the playstore has an app called android info. it might give some insight , or it might tell you the same. but maybe worth a try.(?).

The phone info app will show you the model number for your bootloader. The bootloader model number is correct. I have had a similar problem with my S3. I had to open it with a screwdriver. And the model number on the motherboard matched the bootloader model number.

If you have a terminal emulator installed on the phone you can bet the bootloader version by entering this command:

getprop ro.bootloader
