Import Guidance? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey!
I'm thinking I don't want to wait for a carrier to have this ready and am going to look into importing one.
Any of U guys have any experience with importing?
Can you point me to a vendor?
Thanks for any guidance with this.
Tim

Best way is to Get the Europe SGS II shipped to you through online vendors like amazon.co.uk or something like that! Google it! plus Every one on XDA including me own European version/region Phone cuz it gets updates quick and Development is At its best!

[q] need someone to upgrade g tab

For the record, you XDA folk are amazing.
Are there folks out there by region that would help other folks such as myself (for appropriate fee, Starbucks menu-configuration) who are complete NOOB IDIOTS that would upgrade (change ROM) on our machines for us, or in the alternative, or show us how.
Info would be good to know and you guys good at same could make some....coffee money. Region of interest to me: central california.
Bless you for what you do.
Question: If I upgrade to a better ROM than out of the box, will I be able to use Adroid Market and do most normal things that an Android can do????
Thanks again. You guys that submerge yourself into this stuff are superheros!
Look in my signature. Yes, all custom roms have full market access.
Couldn't be happier

Im using: Calkulin+Clemsyn 1.5ghz Froyo Combo V6 BL1.2, from goodintentions website. Working great!
I'd give it a shot...
Dont forget to donate to goodintentions.
I did...
Honestly if you have an hour or two to read through the numerous walkthroughs that are out there for the G-tablet you will be fine. These are very forgiving, and even if you do mess something up, chances are more than likely you will be able to recover it. I would suggest not only reading up on how to root/flash a new rom, but read through and prepare to do an NVflash, so if/when your device sticks at the 3 little birds, you wont have to worry and can be happy (bob marley).

Just had a quick look, and after translating the page, I'd say go for the second one
http://www.alza.cz/yarvik-gotab-zetta-9-7-16gb-d329363.htm#popis
It has a faster clock speed (1.2GHz) and also has expandable storage memory. Plus with it being of a name I've never heard of :silly:, I'd be surprised if it'll get many ports or interest from devs, but it also comes with android ICS so it might be very nice to use on a stock kind of setup?
But I'm not educated in Czech tablets So you may want someone else's advice :good:
Good luck buddy! :highfive:
And what about the nexus 7 ?
well there are not czech tablet you can get them worldwide i just linked to czech pages
NEXUS 7 is too small for me and is more expensive.....
But thank you

[Q] Will there be HSPL available for TITAN II in future or no hopes on it

Hello everybody I'm a Titan II user. I wanna know if there will be HSPL and custom roms available in future or else I wanna get rid of my Titan II cause I'm not sure there would be 7.8 or WP8 update in future. So please friends or developers please provide us some information which is Gold to the TItan II user
Depends.
DFT can make an HSPL and custom rom (but they probably won't)
Here is what you need to do to make this work:
Make a thread with a name like: [BOUNTY] HSPL and First Custom Rom HTC Titan II (Radiant)
In the thread you say that you'll pay $ 30 via paypal (I'm just giving advice, you don't need to do this)
Kinda like this
[BOUNTY] HSPL and First Custom Rom HTC Titan II (Radiant)
Hi developers,
my name is yourname and I have the AT&T HTC Titan II
I really want an HSPL and one (or more) custom rom('s) for my phone.
I am asking this especially to DFT because they did this already for the HTC Titan I.
I want this really bad, and I think I am not the only one that wants that. That's why I am willing to pay $ 30 via PayPal.
If you want this too, please help me with making enough money to let DFT (or others) make this happen (quickly)
Thanks
sianto has the right idea - at least that will add a little impetus to the efforts to crack the Titan II.
Remember that each and every time a new phone comes out, some people say the exact same things you guys do, some say the new security is unbreakable, some say they're going to dump the phone if no-one comes out with an unlock, some say all kinds of things.
Most of us just sit quietly and wait, or maybe we try to help a little by looking out for useful tools or codes. Maybe we offer a little cash to prod things along. Ultimately, the phone is hacked, unlocked, and custom ROMs start appearing.
So, the moral of my story is BE PATIENT!

Guys with Titan 2 start a bounty thread separate. or OP just change the title and first post of this thread and start adding the total bounty offers other members are happy to offer.
We reached a bounty of £900+ before we got even noticed.
The reason is not being that devs want money, but it takes a substantial time and money as you can understand to get hands on a Titan 2 and then work on HSPL + custom ROM. Bounty will help devs to consider the option to invest time and money.
Esp with new devices around the corner it is even harder as you can imagine to keep developing for older devices. They might as well move on to WP8.
.
I´m in, happy to donate to have it!
Let me know by PM if you need any Mod help on this
+1000

So where are we standing on the Titan 2 HSPL availability? I am brand new to Titan line coming from HD2 and despite having my device unlocked I feel pretty locked down with the AT&T splash screen and limited flexibility as far as XAP deployment goes etc. I'd also could donate despite being financially challenged (hence the Titan and not new WP8 line up ). Pls, let me know if I could contribute in any way.
Best,
LuckTR
I read that some guys need some help on getting a titan 2 to cottula guys where are you?, what do you need to get that done.
We need the hspl.
I was lucky enough to be at the BBQ and I talked to orb3000 about the recent effort to get a Titan2 to Cotulla and he may be able to help with that.

That's Good News indeed...at least for us who pulled the trigger on amazing Titan 2 released under such unfortunate circumstances (AT&T)
Really appreciate the update, mate. Waiting for further direction or even better news about successful HSPL implementation :fingers-crossed:

Hey, mate. Being a fairly new user of unlocked Titan 2 on T-Mobile I am quite unaware of HSPL bug on original Titan. I'd love to help, but I don't have any means of reaching Cotulla in any better way than you...I'd say PM his username and hope for the best
Best,
LuckTR.
PM doesnt work it seems that he isnt wisiting the XDA forum anymore... Well what u can
So is there any bounty thread regarding this?
How much do we need to collect to have this done?????????

Advice needed

Hi Guys,
Im in the UK. Id like to buy the redmi 2 note from ali express. Its around £104 with DHL 6-7 day delivery. Is there any advice or anything I need to be careful of ? I have the following concerns,
will 4g on the 3 network work, i think so but am just confirming
Ali express says google play and apps will be installed ?
Any import duty i need to be careful of ?
Any other sites that may offer this based on personal experience ?
Many thanks for the info.
Not sure about 3 UK but in Poland LTE works fine so I guess you should be good to go with data connectivity and yes, I got the phone with google services already installed but flashed Polish MIUI ROM anyway (just to make sure I have the latest one).

I'm from Austria but also ordered my phone from aliexpress and it was first shipped from china to the UK and after that to Austria.
I've ordererd it from the seller: Shenzhen Top-One Trading Co., Ltd. (sorry, I'm not allowed to post links)
and picked DHL delivery, as said in the description to avoid any taxes. Totally cost me 155€.
And that was true. It arrived 8 days after order and no additional taxes to pay.
Also I read in a german forum that many others recommend the seller.
After recieving you should install the xioami.eu ROM (could be found in the forum and is easy to flash) because there are some chinese adds in the software variant.
If 4g will work for you, you have to check on your own. In Austria it works. The redmi, also in this version supports:
4G FDD-LTE: 1800/2100/2600MHz (Bands:B3,B1,B7)
3G WCDMA: 850/900/1900/2100MHz
Hope I could help you.
4g is working in UK no problems. I am on 3 and have a nice strong signal. Will recommend to install the newest rom. I didn't pay import taxes but better check with seller before ordering. Great powerful phone. I am happy
Many thanks for the info guys, very useful. How easy is it to flash the rom, is root required. I use to do this back in the day but havent done it for a few years now.

No is is pretty simple:
- download the rom (could be found in the Redi Note 2 General Forum)
- rename it to update.zip
- copy it to the Redmi Note 2
- flash it via the Updater app
- Done.
I chose DHL and received my phone after 3 business days, but I had to pay customs duty 35€.
You guys tipped me over the edge which means I have ordered one , basic in Panda, im assuming thats the one with the white back.
Thanks for all your help. Cost was £114 with DHL and they 'promise' no customs within the EU. Will keep u posted
Great, good luck

Yes, Panda is with white back cover.
Hope you'll enjoy your new redmi note 2.
Ill be in touch once it arrives to bother you about the UK rom
Hi guys,
Back. Need some help. Could you please direct me to a link to where I can install the UK/EU rom for this phone please ?
Im looking for a stable rom. Also, if I go for the stable rom will I get updates for this ? Any instructions on how to install the rom would be great
Many thanks for your help,
Developer ROM with weekly updates and Root

Mirror
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347833122
Latest stable ROM without root and without weekly updates not available at the moment
I suggest you to use the developer ROM that is good anyway
Rename it to update.zip and store it on Internal memory... Then flash via Mi Recovery or use Updater app. After flash wipe data!
Hi Guys, back again. So a few people looked at my note 2 and liked it very much. Friend of mine has imported a note 3 with fingerprint sensor. Could you direct me to the EU rom for the note 3 please ? Much appreciated and thanks once again

Samsung Z3 4G

I found this phone listed at gsmarena:
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_z3_corporate_edition-8170.php
Anybody here has one?
http://www.linuxcenter.ru/tizen/samsung-z3
Preorder...
No idea if meanwhile someone has SM-Z300F... and would give some feedback...
Best Regards
Meanwhile something new about SM-Z300F in Russia?
Best Regards
Oh.
Found User manual...
http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...-Z300F_DS_UM_CIS_Tizen_Rus_Rev.1.0_151008.pdf
Best Regards
It overpriced! 19700 russian rubles it is about $300 (US) and this version don't have access for tizen store, google and samsung services.
I thought this is business version for business man...
B2B stuff...
Not really for every customer like you and me...
Anyway.
I have not seen any news or reviews or unpack or what ever related to this SM-Z300F...
No idea if someone bought this...
No idea if it is really available yet...
Summary.
No idea.
Best Regards
Review is here (with wrong model name), now Z300F is in stock with one day shipping on linuxcenter.ru.
If someone have it for developing i think they can't tell anything because of NDA.. I see one man on russian forum with dead bootloader.
Thanx for info.

Few months ago someone has killed Firmware on his SM-Z300F, but Bootloader was alive...
Now after/since in BPD4 is Knox Security increased... no idea how dead is dead...
SM-Z300F is Qualcomm stuff... maybe JTAG or "easier" with USB cable and special Qualcomm Tools reanimation possible...
But I have no Firmware for research...
The only Firmware I have found is only for cash available...
And it is really old... outdated...
Code:
AP_Z300FXXU1AOK9_usr.tar.md5
BL_Z300FXXU1AOK9_usr.tar.md5
CP_Z300FXXU1AOK7_REV00_CL2029786_QB4212485.tar.md5
CSC_Z300FOXE1AOK9_usr.tar.md5
Best Regards
Edit 1.
Review seems the old one... from 2015...
I hoped to see Pics from Final Product... with minimum Firmware BPD4...
http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...-Z300F_DS_UM_CIS_Tizen_Rus_Rev.1.0_151008.pdf
User manual from 2015... should be obsolete...
Maybe it is possible to find Manual from actual final SM-Z300F?
Best Regards
