You can check your binary counter by booting into Download Mode.
It can be done by pressing and holding Volume Down + Power + Home buttons together. You will get to Lcd which will ask you if you want to enter into download mode. Now press volume up button.
Here you will get all the information about your device status:
Odin ModeProduct Name: GT-I9300
Custom Binary Download: a number
Current Binary: Samsung Official/Custom
System Status: Official/Custom
