i did my research with the phones model number and all. so it seems plretty legit. the installed rom does come with korean and english language option of choosing. i was wondering i can root this device the same way you would root a regular samsung galaxy s ii, install custom recovery, flash OTA Rom or custom, etc. what we androidians mostly do with our devices. forgot to mention that it is a cdma phone and if it is possible to unlock to use here in the u.s.
if anyone could shed some light on my current situation, i would highly appreciate it. thanks in advance.
There is 3 galaxy s2 varient in korea I believe and your is from LG. Try lurking around some korean android development forum with google translate if that helps

How is this the wrong forum, this is the i-717 Q&A forum and I have a Q about my Note
Probably cause of the fact that T-Mobile announced they are officially carrying the Note as of Aug 8th. So that is why he said wrong forum, cause of that fact.
But you will have to wait for someone else to reply. Given the fact that you have to flash different modems which can cause the count to raise, therefor Samsung will know you are not using the device as specified, yeah it can be problematic.
Unlocking a phone doesn't break your warranty. They would only know it was unlocked if they put another carrier's sim in it.
Sweet, so just go back to stock and reset the flash counter?
Thats what the standard advice is.
appreciated
Dunno if this is the right way to ask.. but

I want to buy this phone, but should I? I don't have much money, and I want double sim support. Found this thinner one.
The question is, what produce it, is there any official site/roms for it? Or any reviews?
Thanks
(if this is the wrong space, please tell me where or move it!)
Its look a like imo discovery s88 in indonesia

Its the Star L21 china mobile. Specs seem decent enough.
Comes with a spare battery which is not unusual for a china made phone.
Not sure if there is any official site for it.
For reviews search Google for "Star L21 android dual sim phone"
Star L21, nice
Thanks.
Too bad there's no official page
After installing the 4.1 to 4.2 camera zip, my phone can't read korean . It shows up as blank and boxes. Does anyone know if I need to download like a missing language pack? If so can you please link it? Thank you. Also before installing the zip, my phone could perfectly read korean
check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26651190
also, you can go to cafe naver, it's like a korean XDA or something. hahaha i can't read korean and i once had a korean S3 (SHW-M440S) and had to go to cafe naver every once a while to check for updates and etc., had to translate korean to english
I'm not sure how the thread helps :/ do you know a method to fix this? Personally, I think when I flashed the zip file, it must have changed the font so now every time I see Korean writing, it shows up as blanks and boxes.

From the screenshot, the boxes used to be Korean, now its a box. That's the problem I want to solve.
Thank you to everyone who helps

As some of you may or may not know, all Galaxy SIII, S4, and Note II users are eligible to receive a free copy of the "Magna Carta" album on July 4th, 3 days before anyone else. All you need to do is install the Magna Carta app from the Play store. First million downloads on a supported galaxy device will get it.
My question is, if we're running a ROM (in my instance, Synergy) will the app still recognize my device as an S4? How exactly does the app track your device type? I'm not sure what the screen looks like for non Galaxy users, but mine looks like this.

That's how mine looks. I don't think the PlayStore would even show the app if it weren't available for your device. The PlayStore on your phone won't, at least. We should be good to go!
I am on HyperDrive and it is the same as if I was on stock. Can't wait for MCHG
Hello. I have an unlocked ATT version of S9 plus.
I flashed unlocked firmware to it but after reading so many pie thread, I'm beginning to question if I flashed the phone correctly.
Its been receiving OTA update regularly and its on ARL1.
I THINK I read somewhere in XDA that if you are on truly unlocked firmware, phone must read xaa/xaa/xaa. However, mine shows xaa/xaa/att? (currently on mintsim service which uses tmobile network I believe)
Can someone tell me if I did anything wrong as I have limited knowledge of android phones and I would like to correct it before pie update.
Thanks in advance.
You should be all good. The last one is showing the original software provider version that never changes from flashing carrier firmwares or unlocked firmwares. Basically it shows what the phone was born as I guess is a way you could look at it.
Bought mine directly from Samsung and mine also says that.
