Hi a friend of mine wants to trade his Galaxy S II for my Evo Shift. I'm pretty sure it's worth the trade but before I do I wanna know what's possible on it first.
What all carrier(s) can the Galaxy be flashed to?
What's the best performing/fastest carrier available?
And is the flashing process easy?
Thanks in advance

What country? And what model of Galaxy S II does he have? What carrier did he get it from, if any?
There are over a dozen different models of Galaxy S II, and they are all different. Some are GSM, some are CDMA. Some have LTE, some don't. So what carrier the phone will function on will depend on what model it is.
EDIT: You say you have an Evo 4G Shift, which makes me think you are on Sprint, in the US. Is he also on Sprint? If he is, then the Galaxy S II he has is not the same as the one this forum is for.
THIS forum is for the GT-I9100, which is a GSM phone... which means it works on AT&T and T-Mobile (but only with Edge on T-Mobile) in the US.
The one from Sprint (a CDMA network) is the SPH-D710, also known as the Galaxy S II Epic 4g Touch. (Its forum is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281) If this is true, then I've heard you can flash the Epic 4g Touch to other CDMA carriers (like Cricket, Verizon, US Cellular, etc)... but I don't know the details. If he indeed has the Epic 4g Touch, then you would be better off asking in the forum for that device.
Ok I was not aware of that. But yes it is a sprint version which would make it CDMA. I didnt realize there was a difference between carriers. But thank you anyway for the help!
would i get 3g or 4g on a unlock samsung galaxys2 i9100 using a tmobile sim??
US or UK?
You get Edge speeds with US tmobile. (a lot slower than 3G)
i have us tmobile, anything i can do to get better frequency
I'm going to assume this is the same variant at AT&T in the US, I know the frequencies for 3g and LTE are the same in most other phones...
Has anyone rooted the S III variant for US Cellular?
Hi
How do I flash my Galaxy S2 from US Cellular to Alltel?
Is there a stock Alltel Rom that I can use somewhere?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

No idea. This forum is for the GT-I9100, which is a GSM phone. As far as I know, both US Cellular and Alltel are CDMA networks. So the Galaxy SII you're asking about is a different model than this one, which doesn't even work on CDMA networks.
