Hi guys,
Firstly, I have to say the n00b video was hilarious.
I got my Samsung galaxy s2 today and it's locked to HG3 in the UK. I am running the 4th software update and HG3 haven't provided any more and have no ETA on when the next one is available.
Does anyone know how to debrand the phone so I can install/get the unlocked handset updates?
Thanks,
JJ

Hello,
New to the forum, and this is probably a noob question, but after trawling through loads of threads on here my head is spinning and i need some advice!
I decided to upgrade the ROM of my hd2 today as i am having problems with sending sms. i bought the phone second hand recently. It is sim unlocked and there is no carrier branding on the phone that i have noticed.
I tried to get a ROM from the htc site and got the not suitable message, long story short after speaking to htc i found my phone is from the Czech republic.
Now i have had a look at the ROM flashing tutorial and i am confident with doing it, however i am unsure about whether or not i need to use the Goldcard method?
Can i download the latest ROM from the UK HTC site and put it on my phone just using the Hardspl method here?
Thanks for any help offered, and sorry if this has been asked before, but i couldnt find an answer to my question.

Hi all,

The system version is 4.4.35.MB860.Retail.en.GB

My question is that i want to update to Gingerbread but an over the air update isnt available. It doesnt work using the update application on my PC either...
I have done some searching and found this related page:

Is there anything that im missing before i follow the instructions on that post? bootloader? do i need to root the phone first etc?
It seems that is what i want, but is there someone who was in the same boat as me that wants to share what they did?
Thanks in advance guys and girls

Hello everyone!! First of all, sorry if this has been posted already and please excuse me as I am completely new to the smartphone and android scene!
I do not own a SGSII yet but I am seeking to buy the white version of the phone, which is currently available at Bell. I'm planning to just buy out the phone itself without a contract because I will be going away to the UK in January for about 9 months. I am aware of the fact that Bell has its own firmware, giving it the name i9100m instead of i9100. So, I was wondering if I root and unlock the phone, will I be able to update the firmware and perform all the functions that a generic i9100 would and therefore be able to use the phone in the UK when I move there?
It might be a stupid question but I just thought I'd better be safe than sorry
Thanks in advance!
Yes, it won't be a problem

Yes it will work, whether you want to unlock it for rogers here in Canada or on a carrier in the UK, the process is the same. You can pretty much flash any rom you want, as rooting the bell phone pretty much breaks kies will to update. At least it did for me
Thanks guys! I thought that I had to go through a different process for unlocking and modifications, thanks again for clearing that up I will be on my way to purchase a SGSII very soon
Hi guys,
I got a galaxy note a few weeks ago and heard about the official ICS release. I do have a dilemma.
Before the problem, here's a few things you should need to know:
1. Not a rooter (cos im scared hehe)
2. I checked my product code and it says its from Switzerland.
3. I use my phone here in the Philippines.
Here's the dilemma:
ICS is now released here in the Ph and when I checked OTA and Kies I dont have any updates. Is this because my product code is Switzerland? Also, when i go to Tools>Firmware upgrade and initialization it says that GT-N7000 does not support initializing. Again does this have something to do with my product code?
I do hope that you guys can help me, upgrading to ICS isnt that big a deal for me, but I'd really like to have the option of having my phone receive and implement updates and upgrades.
Thanks!
Hello guys. I am noob here. May i ask if i can update my software in s3 even if its unlocked from at&t here in the philippines? If yes. How am i suppose to do that? Really appreciTe your answers. Thanks!
Will my all my files be deleted? And is there any chance my samsung s3 will be broken?
