Hi,
I have a new I9108 that I got as I use the China Mobile network for my work contract, I am having great difficulty finding a ROM for this model.
Everyone with Chinese SG S2 seems to have the i9100 version.
Basically, I just want to know if I am stuck with the standard ROM.. if this is the case I will sell the phone as it is so restricted, its frustrating.
Baseband is :I9108ZMKI5
Kernel : 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2
Any help will be appreciated, as there is very little reference to this model aywhere

Hi guys, I've been browsing through this forum for awhile now, very helpful threads, you guys do an amazing job!
This is my first post and I would like some help.
I'm from Canada and I ordered my S2 from Newegg.ca, so my phone came factory unlocked and right now I'm running it on the Telus Network.
Samsung started releasing their firmware updates for the different regions, but I'm really confused on witch firmware to get.
I believe my phone is running on the UK firmware but I would like to use a North American firmware, here's the detail:
PDA: I9100XWKF3
Phone: I9100XXKE7
CSC: I9100XEUKD1
Would I be able to run any firmware from any region I want without damaging my phone?
And witch firmware is for the Canadian region?
Thanks in advance.
Anybody?
I'm a noob at this, never owned an android phone before.
So please guys, you'll make me really really happy
Any rom from Dev section 1 and section 2 will work , you got standard global unlocked SGS2.

Hi,
Some providers hold back on updating their Android releases (they need time to add their bloatware)... a good was around this is by flashing either a custom rom or a base Samsung one. Flashing is a pretty simple task. I might suggest starting off by reading this thread .... Enjoy
thanks guys for your help.

but what i cant understand is why there are different version of firmware for the same region ? for example : mine is JPKH1 which is arabic and KH1 version and 2.3.3 ! whats the different between JPKH1 and JPKH2 and JPKG5 which all of them are arabic version and 2.3.3 ? and all are official !

Hello All, this is my first post so sorry if I am posting it to a wrong section.
I purchased S2 from Australia and is using it in USA. Last week I updated the firmware to Tmobile UK as it didn't had that many junk software as the Australian firmware had.
I am currently using my phone on Tmobile and the reception is pretty bad @ my home. I want to use the Wifi Calling App from Tmobile. Can somebody help me how to get it on my Samsung s2. Do I have to get the Tmobile US firmware to get that app.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Hi all,
Long time HTC user taken the jump to the S2 - so far.. WHAT A HANDSET
I have some queries though. My S2 comes with the new NFC options built in and appears to be slightly different to the standard S2 ROM.
This is an Orange UK handset with the following:
Model Number: GT-I9100P
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband Version: I9100PBVKI2
Kernel Version: [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.BVKI3
Can this be "safely" rooted (as much as any root is safe of course!
What ROMS are going to run with it properly? Will I need to use a different ROM than the ones the go on to the "standard" S2's?
I had no issues rooting and modding the living daylights out of the Desire but this version difference in the S2 makes me nervous... that and it's 3 days old LOL
Thanks guys & sorry for the noob-ness,

Yes it has been root Im not sure the root file is here. If I find the link I'll post for you. I saw it on a Dutch site as they have had this fone for a few months likewise France.
You could also dump the file by install HS-KTOOL from market and ask within the rooting forum if someone can be kind and make it for you.
Hi Nyssa - would it benefit members if I did the dump? If so I'll gladly do that if someone wants to do the "alterations" needed to it after...

Hi all,
I bought a samsung galaxy s3 yesterday here in China, only to realize that MANY features are missing. This includes Google Play, S Voice and other features which was the original reason why I bought this phone. So I was wondering if there is ANY way of changing the firmware of the S3 to some other firmware which does have these features or is this simply impossible?
Here is some info:
Operator: China Mobile
Model Number: GT-i9300
Android Version: 4.0.4
Baseband Version: i9300ZNLF2
I hope that is enough info to answer the question.
I have read recently about 'rooting' but I'm unsure if this has anything to do with my problem...
Thank you! Any feedback is greatly appreciated!!!
