Samsung released different SGS2 Models in different Countries. Can some help me in finding how to find out Model No.
Samsung is saying that for India Model # is i9100G whereas I can't find anything similar to it on my Galaxy s2 anywhere.
Menu / settings / about phone / ....... Model number
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I know these sateps but when I contactec Samsung they said the Model # has to be i9100G whereas in my mobile it is just showing i9100 cso, the question is where to find that particular letter.
In my country it is i9100. But recently in the past week, i9100g have been released and seems to be replacing i9100. The difference is i9100g uses a different processor TI OMAP 4430. Could be only new units will have the "g" while older ones are still i9100 with Exynos
There is another post dedicated to this. May be that would also provide more information.

Something else to note: there are GT-I9100G ROMs in this forum too. Make sure you don't flash one of those. The GT-I9100 and GT-I9100G have different hardware, so ROMs are incompatible between the two.

hello,
I am hoping someone can help me here. I bought galaxy s2 (brand new) on ebay few months ago. The seller was from usa and i live in australia. The phone does not have a reception most times. I get a circle with a line across display. I am with vodaphone and i have tried using other sim cards from different providers. It seems better with tpg. I have tried contacting the seller on ebay but they have closed the site now i am stuck with a phone j cant use and $580 down. I will appreciate a solution to this problem
Thanks
What version of the SGSII do you have?
What are the ROM details?
Go to Settings -> About Phone.
Generally how is reception (ie with other phones)?
I assume that the phone has been unlocked.
Is it only Vodaphone that is not getting a signal or is it only TPG that is getting a signal?
Flash an Australian CSC (make a titanium backup!) and flash a new modem.

Let us know some details. As you said the phone seller was from USA, then the phone will have the baseband and CSC for USA. You need to flash an Australian ROM on the phone

Before doing any flashing, double check and make sure you have a GT-I9100 and not one of the USA specific variants instead.

Sounds like you just need to find some Telstra modems for I9100 and flash them.
Props to whoever suggested you double check model though, as there are no less than 8 different models of Galaxy S II that can be operated in the US that I know of. Only 4 of which are actually sold by US carriers.

Thanks, on the settings - about phone it says it is I9100. Could someone pls tell me exactly what do i need to do? How do i ensure it is the correct model and how do I flash CSC for Australia. Would it be better to take it to a mobile repairer in Australia instead? I found a person that quoted $60 to $120 to repair it. Just don;t want to spend more mpney on this phone if I can do it myself.
I apologise for trouble but some step by step info would be really good.
thanks all for your responses tho.
you dont need anything until you try 2 3 things....
1: flash GB la2/la4 official rom via odin.
2: after flash and boot, dial *2767*3855#
3: read read read..... the following thread.

Mine is a i9100T but in about phone it says i9100. That's because I flashed an i9100 rom. The best way to confirm model is on the sticker under the battery.
If it is an i9100T you will need to flash a T model modem for decent reception. In Australia, both the Telstra and Vodafone models are i9100T.

Yes I know but he mentioned that in 'about phone' it says i9100. So does mine but it's a T. So to be 100% sure it's best to check the sticker. The T model is also sold overseas in a few countries like New Zealand, Israel, Thailand.

not sure about you and i9100, but once iv flashed i9000 rom on my i9000T and it ended up as i9000 everywhere.
but i9000 and i9000T were same hardware.
meaning unless you flash i9100 on i9100T it will say i9100T. and with my experience with galaxy S, i9000T was branded. flashing unbranded make it i9000

Correct about the flashing part. But both are not exactly the same. I have i9100T but with i9100 firmware. So it shows in settings and boot as i9100. Both are exactly the same except for reception radio. For me on Optus / Virgin Australia, if I don't flash a T modem after installing i9100 firmware I get very poor reception and no 3g. I have to run a T model modem.
So my point is that as we are attempting to help the OP sort out his reception issues, he needs to confirm 100% whether his phone is a i9100 or not. Just checking I'm settings doesn't prove anything. If it is then the modem is not the issue and it could be hardware or something else.

Hello, I'm new to the forum, also new to the world of android. Days reading forum, there's so much that I was all confused and worried about touching the same phone that it would not be brick .
The first few questions, the phone from my brother who purchased Galaxy S3 through advertisements, which btw does not work .
Model I9300
Android version 4:04
Baseband Version I9300XXLE8
Kernel Version 3.0.15-554452
Built Number IMM76D.I9300XXALE8
AP:I9300XXALE8
CP:I9300XXLE8
CSC:I9300PAPALE5
Phone is a retail demo application that I could not uninstall it, so I'm using the Samsung GS3 toolkit 7.0 root the phone first, then uninstall and then do flash stock rom via Odin (I9300XXALE8_I9300NZCALE5_I9300XXLE8_HOME.tar.md5), which I DL with the Samsung GS3 Toolkit 7.0 then I do wipe / data recovery also with a Samsung GS3 toolkit 7.0, and now the phone as new, completely empty. Everything remains the same only the CSC changed, now is I9300NZCALE5, since I did not find the same CSC. Does it matter that CSC is the same or not? I know it Built Number must be the same, did baseband version and CSC must be the same?
With original CSC, could not update via kis, now that it attaches throw new update but different, I could not run, does this update can this phone? (picture attached)
And most importantly the end, can anything be done to get the S3 network coverage?
Pardon my spelling, English is not my language, translation help Google.
Cheers!!!

That I was afraid of that: (. Unfortunately it is impossible, thinking of returning money.
Remains a possibility to be used as navigation, as camera, to go on the internet .... .
Tell me please, is safe to perform the update with kiss, see picture attached above, PDA:LE8 to LLA, PHONE:LE8 to LLA, CSC:LE5 to LL1?
Hello,
I used to have a Galaxy S2 International edition (GT-I9100). Somehow I managed to fried its CPU (!!!) and I needed to buy a new motherboard. The cheapest one (and also new) was from a shop in Canada.
They send me the new motherboard (fits and working just fine) but looking into the phone's "About Phone" menu it says that the "Model number" is GT-I9100M.
Here are the details:
Model number: GT-I9100M
Android version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9100MUGKG2
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100MUGKG2-CL371789 [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.UGKG2
Because frying the CPU was totally my mistake (not reading the flashing instructions completely) I don't want to messed up the phone again!
And you can see the android version is pretty old!
What I want to know is if the available roms for GT-I9100 can be used for GT-I9100M.
Thank you for your time

The i9100M is just a Bell's variant of the i9100 (Canadian service provider). The only different is that the i9100M has a model name of i9100M instead of i9100. So I can imagine you can flash any i9100 ROM without a problem. After flashing an i9100 ROM, I'll assume your model number will change to i9100 (no big deal). By the way, all the information was on Wikipedia under SGS2 > Variants if you bothered to look.

Huh? Korean models are named SHV-E210K/L/S and not I9300A. I suspect that what you have is a clone perhaps? I don't see any valid models with an "A" branding on Google.
I would be asking in the Korean thread and check about phone in settings .
