Just a general question.
I have been trying to hard and re-installing, flashing but.
When flashing European froyo firmwares on vibrant,
No sound works for system and notification?
I understand home button may not work, but key tones?
Just installed the official JPM firmware.

Hi,
I want to flash my phone with one of AOSP 2.2 or 2.3 that's available on the other forum (thnx to Jerpelea and Z)...
However, those firmwares don't have any apps, junks, keyboards that comes with the normal stock firmware.
I'm asian and I need to be able to type in Korean and Japanese, and I really like the sony's keyboard that comes with x10 firmware...
Is there a way for me to somehow take those files out of my current firmware and then add it to the custom roms???
Thank you!
Hey all.
First of all let me say that i am new to root/custom rom so what i might type may sound stupid to many of you.
I Rooted my S2 and installed Lite'ning Rom. I didnt really like it cause i am kinda use to Τouch Wiz by now (what do you know) so i tryed to restore the original rom.
Problem is i can't. I Unroot the phone and the flash the stock rom from the site. I now have KIES telling me "this version of device cannot be updated" and current firmware being ΚΕ2 (ΚΟR) and i was KE7 before. I downloaded another firmware from here the europe KE7 but i still get the same message.
So my question is. Since i am obviously doing something stupidly wrong, does anyone know the firmware for the greek version of Galaxy s2? I am kinda stuck between 2 choices. An updattable phone without my native language on keyboard or a non up datable phone with language!!!
Thank you in advance
You didn't need to Un-root to install Stock firmware. You can follow this link, it has all the Stock firmwares.

Thank you for quick reply friend. I found a greek one (Cosmote OXF XWKE2) but while everything else is ok i have a problem. There is no greek language in keyboard. I added greek language and when i swich to greek it turns to english UK. Even when i put the entire ui to greek (i have it to english) the problem still remains. Any thoughs?
I've got a galaxy s2 from 02 and it is branded and running o2's flavour of software.
I've attached 2 screenshots to show the version I have.
Is it worth it for me to debrand, what would I realistically gain? I've looked through the forums and it seems there is newer generic firmware available. But there also seems to be mixed opinion as to weather it's worth upgrading. From what I can see I have 2.3.3 KF3 if that helps
It also appears that by flashing generic stock firmware via odin I will still be able to use kies so any future releases will download through kies using the firmware update feature?
Answers as always appreciated.
IF you download, from here, the latest stock Samsung ROM, then you will be able to fool KIES into thinking that your phone is no longer an O2 SGSII but a unbranded one. Thus you will be able to get the next available update of the official stock ROM when it is released via KIES.
The most important feature is an improvement in battery life.
If you stick with the branded ROM, then you have to wait a few months for the stock update to be customised by the operator and released.
This is the most important: if you flash an unbranded ROM, then you have invalidated your phone's warranty. You can simply reflash the O2 branded ROM, again available on here, this will put you phone back in warranty.
ok I see is there a link to the post that has the most recent fw? I will ofc check the dev forum stickies Many thanks for the swift reply and advice.
Without a doubt, so many good custom roms available and more newer stock firmwares. You can undo everything so no need to worry about putting it back to stock o2
cheers
Yeah I think I'll flash to generic stock rom then take in the updates from sammy, I'm blown away with this phone as it is running stock roms.
Will wait for ICS to be available on a un-official rom before I debate custom roms,
As soon as I got my sgs2 from O2, I debranded it straight away
Wow what a difference my phone is marginally faster one booted on 2.3.4 bootup is way quicker internet also seems faster.
Unlike X10i flashing new fw didn't basically factory reset the phone everything was as i left it bar the fw.
Had slight issue where it seemed to hang at the last big galaxy s screen for a minute or 2 when first booted but all phones seem to do this when flashed.
One question - my market hasn't changed os there a new one and should it automatically update?

Been looking for an answer online and can't seem to find one, my girlfriend bought a used bell gs2 and when i plug it in kies it tells me it has the latest software yet it seems that 2.3.3 as been out for a long time and should have been updated by now no?
Thanks

If you check this thread here UGKG2 is the only firmware bell has put out, so if thats the one you have, then yes, thats the only firmware there is, blame bell for being slow.
If you want to flash a new upto date rom, follow this guide, it also has download links, KK5 is generally a good 2.3.6 firmware at the moment, dont go for the ICS roms, there buggy.
It also should be non wipe aka you shouldnt lose anything as its stock firmware to stock firmware, but no promises and you would be advised to backup stuff first.
Hi everyone, I am new here. I just returned i9100g for a i9100. Anyways as I look for the i9100 firmware at sammobile.com, there are tons of ICS available. Which one will I install?
Also I am in Bangladesh, however we get mixed region phones: Sometimes from Malaysia, Singapore, France, etc. How do I know which region I have, so it can guide to install the proper ICS.
I installed XXLPJ, everything works well, however I noticed that just like my initial i9100g, whenever I use the voice to setup alarm, it doesn't work. I fixed this problem when I installed the proper region firmware for my phone, which was French at that time. The problem is I don't know which region of the phone this actually is.
Any idea?
Thank you
I dont think different regional firmwares will make any difference in your alarm settings too...
you can check the firmware information by dailing *#1234#
ROM selection
you can have a look for the language supported by that rom, you can also go for custom rom, language information was given there that it support these many language.
Also i am agree with "zaheedahmed" that "regional firmwares will make any difference in your alarm settings" i guess this the bug with that version of ROM, so it better to upgrade your ROM.
Thanks for your responses. What do I need to look after after for the latest firmware, android version? Cause there are tons of 4.0.3
