Hi all,
I'm planing soon to buy T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant through ebay. As it's mentioned in my profile I'm from Bahrain and I don't need T-Mobile junk software like Account, TV, etc..
So my question is it possible to flash Original Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 to Samsung Vibrant ?
Are they exactly same in terms of Hardware ? I had HTC HD2 before and it's not possible to flash Euro version on T-Mobile version. So what about this one?
Thanks in advance..

nope, some things will be messed up, no data, volume buttons switched etc
The hardware is DEFINITELY not the same. Well it kind of is, but the international version of the Samsung Galaxy S has a frontal camera whereas the Vibrant does not. And the vibrant has four buttons whereas the international has I believe 2 and a trackball (i think?)

I see, I forgot that US version have 4 buttons and no front camera !
Bell Mobility (in Canada) sells the "Galaxy S Vibrant" that comes with only 3 front facing buttons; from left to right: menu/options button, action/home button and the back/cancel button.
So "Vibrant" may mean different things to different people, depending on who or where you ask.
Edit: Oh I forgot, my Bell Galaxy S Vibrant has a tiny front camera as well. I haven't used it for anything yet, but you can install the 'Mirror' app on the market to at least see it in action.

Sorry I have no idea what you are asking here, you took an NFC technology????
Lol... I agree... what does that mean...?? I would also like to take nfc technology on my s2 if possible since mine isn't the Korean version...
Or maybe he is saying he got the Korean version... hmmmmm...
Sent from my Galaxy SII
I think he is saying that he got NFC version of S2 and asking for ROM compatibility.
i was thinking about whether to wait for NFC to hit all of SG2, or maybe getting one from the UK (had to wait for a while, since it was rumored they'll get there eventually) ... but eventually decided that even though it's a nice sounding feature, i can probably live without it, and just got mine
anyways, assuming you have a korean phone with NFC support, you think it won't work unless you have a ROM built specifically with that support?
i guess it'll take most roms out there out of the question ...
Sorry but maybe I expressed myself badly ... I bought the new i9100p which is the version with the NFC chip to shop (here in Italy this technology isn't coming soon ..: Mad. I wanted to know if you think the rom for the i9100 normal are compatible. until a short time ago I had the regular version and with the criskelo I was fine ..
I was going to try to get the nfc version myself but didn't due to this particular confusion whether its compatible or not...
Some people said that with the nfc version all it is, is the nfc chip which is installed in the back cover and the battery but the rest of the phone is essentially the same... if that's the case it should probably work... but again I can't say for sure... the model is still i9100, just adding the P... I think it should work... but I would suggest you maybe ask in the respective rom thread or maybe PM criselko himself and see what he says...

I finally checked out the SGNote today in an AT&T store for an hour (both it & a case fits in my pockets & feels fine in my hand/s but the huge screen is startling at first then I started getting used to it) but they did not yet make the S-Pen available to play with (fearing people would steal it I guess).
One thing I did not see was Settings->Display-Screen Mode->"Dynamic, Standard, Movie"?
A Google now turned up:
http://phandroid.com/2012/02/18/samsung-galaxy-note-review/
"One of things sadly missing from the Note (and is present in the Epic 4G Touch) was the Screen Mode option in the display settings. Not exactly sure why all Samsung SAMOLED devices don’t have this option but it was disappointing to see this left out of the Note. Being able to turn down/max out the amount of color saturation on your SAMOLED device is one of the best ideas since.. well, SAMOLED."
WTF? Why? -Thanx
AT&T...Need I say more? Why they can't just leave any phone alone is beyond me.
It's in the international one, but not the at&t version??
I just checked mine, it's there (international)

Good day to everyone.
I just recently bought my SGS3 from a local network provider called Telecom.
When i check the phone's version, it says, "Samsung Galaxy I9300T".
Definitely it's not the International Version so i'm wondering if it is possible to be rooted in any way and - HOW?
Other infos if needed are the following:
-Model number: GT-I9300T
-Android version: 4.0.4
-Baseband: I9300TDULE6
I'm asking before doing anything because i'm also an SGS2 user, and there's a hell of a difference between GT-I9100
and GT-I9100G. From kernel to ROMs, even the themes, in fact, a separate title was made just to compensate the need
of I9100G users.
Anyone's help would be really appreciated.
Thanks.
What are its specifics?
It is still the international version, don't worry, enjoy!!

Looks like we got the Australian version, from what I've read all their galaxy 's have had the T on them.... did our other versions of the S1 & S2 have the T on them ?

Not aware mate since i got my s2 form **** Smith. But probably yeah.
Regarding the Australian version, at least the possibility of getting my phone rooted increased as there are quite few developers from Aus and Au.
Maybe i just need to wait for a little while.
Same GT-i9300:
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=3549&c=telstra_samsung_gt-i9300t_galaxy_s_iii
The i9300t has a modem optimized for the 850mhz network. This is used by Telstra and Vodafone in Australia.
I have the galaxy s 2 i9100t model and used the rom for the i9100 (non t model) fine. I assume this will be the same for the s3

Solder Jumpers!
For those of you who have the "GT-I9300T" (or any other non-pure-I9300),
please open up your back cover and confirm the solder jumper settings
as shown in the picture shown in THIS post.
Thanks!

Have taken apart a I9300T and a I9300. On the T model the jumper is on the AU pads, on the I9300 the EU pads are soldered.
Recently my customer sent me a Galaxy S2 for flashing to Malaysia stock rom. It works smoothly on Gingerbread 2.3.6. But when I flashed it with ICS 4.03, the ON/OFF menu went missing. And some time error messages keep appearing.
I can’t help noticing the difference between this unit and normal retail unit sold in Malaysia. The locations of following components are different: battery connector, simcard holder, memory holder and signal amplifier. Besides that, it works with Kies. Having SuperAMOLED display. Camera produce good quality photo. Imei on battery compartment is matching with *#06#.
This is the first time I encounter with this type of Galaxy S2. Wishing some one can point out, whether it is fake one, or just a variant production. Thanks.
* I can't post the photo of the mentioned unit, as I new to the forum. I wonder if any member can post the photo on behalf? Thanks. Here is the link (need to add http: at the front the link):

its the international version of Galaxy S2 (I9100) u have, so no issue with the phone as such
If u want an Indian JB firmware installed for now then, just approach a nearest samsung service center and request for the same
Ok well it says it's an i9100. And that it's running LSJ, which is official Samsung. But you say it's running custom? I don't get it.... As far as sim placement goes, yours is in the normal spot. I'm not sure what you were trying to day about the sd card, but the back of it looks fine.
As far as seeing it you have a real deal or not, run some benchmarks (quadrant, antutu) on it and let's see how it performs.

No no I sir I know all Samsung galaxy S II AMOLED DISPLAY AND GORILLA Glass display but I if seller change the display with duplicate screen & thats why I asked.
Yes, it is officially Jelly bean cause I go and app store and want to install screen capture but it says that the app worked only an rooted device and when I installed and run the app the sayed its not rooted device...
But I can't understand that if its not rooted OS then where is go power button screen lock option or power button press long time then its show power off menu?
Any one suggest me where is the option?
You can do what Sun90 says,or see if you know someone that has a proper s2 and compare the quality of the displays.
For all anyone knows,since youve not mentioned much about the phone,maybe its 2nd hand with a replacement crappy/cheap lcd fitted.
And are you saying you have no power menu/lockscreen?
If so root then read about "keystr" lol

Sir I usedn this mobile after Galaxy R and my experience is its truly better speed then my ex Galaxy R and U can't get my SD card slot point, that SD card slot exactly down in SIM slot, mean Upper side SIM slot then next down place for SD card,if U plug SD card then U cant see the card cause SD card upper portion is SIM slot. Hope U can understand what I say?

Memory slot exactly sim slot down side & I think its official os but I have some minor issue. My power button option, when I press 1 time display off like when device are lock buts its not work just diplay and when I press power button long time its going to switch off, where is the power menu option and lock option in power button, I can't find, even when I go settings lock option and I enable automatic lock after 15 second with password protection and other option but the result is same thats it not going to lock and this is very big problem for me and I think its os prob so I go samsung service center and want install gingerbread and engineer say ur already updated and now if you want to downgrade then its possible to device is going death... I can't understand.. Is it true? If I want to downgrade the then its possible that mobile death chances is possible? I don't why engineer say that?
When I used wallpaper frame gadget its working fine but after some time its not change wallpaper automatic or when I restart and after restart wallpaper frame always need new setting, I don't know why? And another prob in the OS that many ringtone in 1 folder and when I want to play then its play 1 ringtone but the name is next ringtone. I don't waht to do and thats why I want to downgrade to gingerbread and 1 thing that FM Radio not working and all other working is like charm.
Is it possible to downgrade to Official Jelly Bean to Official Gingerbread? 1 senior user says that its global version so can I install Indian gingerbread version in my mobile? Their is any risk with it?
May I install Official Gingerbread manually if yes then pls give me some information about that or pls give some solution for Jelly Bean OS.
Thanks.
Hope U understand what I mean?
I wouldn't flash anything on that device.
Why? Because I think that you've been handed a fake vessel with an original motherboard.
There shouldn't be any risk on flashing but won't you agree that you should get the real thing instead of this?

Battery connector is on the wrong side and the external connector to the antenna is positioned wrong. Even the logo to the SIM card is missing, then microsd logo is also missing. If I compare (I have a Samsung GT-I9100) so lacking even some small parts in plastic chassis.
