Hi!
I have a question about flashing my brand new P7500.
I got it Thailand and want to change the ROM to EUR.
I've downloaded the rom from samfirmware.com, flashed my tab correctly but still my android market doesnt show me country-specific-apps.
Baseband version: P7500XXKG7
Build number HMJ37 P7500XWKG9
I think its something to deal with changing and flashing CSC but I could not find any csc file to my ROM.
Does anyone can help me with that?
Sorry for dummy question... first time deal with samsung stuff.

What are the country specific apps you are looking for? You do know, I hope, that EUR refers to Greece, not Europe? (which is XEU)..

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.

Hi,
The specs of phone are
Model number GT -I9100
Android Version - 2.3.3
Baseband version I9100XXKE7
Kernel version - 2.6.35.7.....
Yes, the phone is unlocked and it worked with Lebara and TPG little better than Vodaphone but it wasn't 100%

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.

Hey everyone, this is my 1st post on xda , hopefully not the last one .
I live in Egypt now & my question is about buying a Samsung Galaxy S2.
From my research about latest firmwares, ICS is not yet released for middle-eastern SGS2.
So my question is, am I able to install a firmware from another country that had the ICS released into my middle eastern purchased phone or not ?
Any feedback will be appreciated.
Thank you !

Yea. Go to www.sammobile.com and find a firmware you want and flash through Odin

Oh Great ! that's good news.
Bec. I read in a diff. forums that doing that, bricks your phone.
and btw, does it matter which country's firmware I choose ?
Thanks again !
You brick when you use different model Rom and flash. Example i9100 to i9100G = brick
I9100G to i9100 = brick
plus we have a leaked jplpc Rom, which works just fine

Hi,
First you root the phone (there are many topics on that).
Then, you don't need to use odin (only for Lightning rom's, but everything is cristal clear with this rom), if you want to test other roms/kernel.
Enjoy.
If you are looking at rooting/installing a new stock ROM/firmware you better check that your Micro USB cable is working properly. A faulty one which may disconnect in the middle of a setup will create a big mess.
Hello all,
I have encountered a problem on my i9308 galaxy s3 so I hope some of you on xda could help me out.
First of all, I got the phone from China Mobile. As such, there was no play store or any google related apps. Thus I flashed a custom rom using cwm.
Everything was fine, until I noticed the micro sim card was not recognized, and so I flashed everything back to the stock rom. But now, even though I do get bars, whenever I try to call, it says "not registered on the network".
I also tried flashing a custom rom in cwm then flash the i9308 modem in odin, but the stop sign symbol is still present. I also tried flashing an UK firmware (PDA) and the i9308 modem but odin fails at the modem flashing part.
Frustrated, I took the phone to the T-mobile store, but they figure out what's wrong with the phone. They gave me the number for tech support, but I have a feeling that they won't resolve this problem.
Thank you for reading this post, sorry for the long story, but I wanted to give the whole picture for my problem.
I would gladly appreciate any help at all, so post your ideas, even if it's far fetched.

No, the Galaxy S3 GT-i9308 is only sold by the company China Mobile, so if you've never lived in China, you probably have never seen one.
On another note, I'm still having the same issues. I flashed the i9300 (US) firmware onto my i9308 to basically turn the OS into an american version but now my SIM is not being recognized and the phone will not register for any updates. Im going to just flash back to the stock i9308 firmware, root it then uninstall all the chinese apps, flash to AT&T and it should work fine considering I was able to flash to ATT, previously, before flashing the i9300 firmware, and everything worked fine except for having problems getting the Google App store to work correctly and such...which I'm sure I can play around with it a little longer to figure that out. Anyways - hopefully some of my errors will help stop others from doing the same.
where did u get the stock firmware ?

Can you share the link for the i9308 stock firmware or the original baseband version.
Hey!
I bought an international version Galaxy S3 and noticed in boot mode that my product name says SGH-T999, which is the U.S. T-Mobile version. However in about device menu my build number is indicated as I9300ZSEMC1, which is the international version from HK. Quadrant also indicates model as I9300. I haven't flashed any kernel or ROM yet, but the binary counter is at 2 so I'm guessing I didn't really receive my phone fresh out of factory. I want to recover back to stock and I'm confused on which version of stock recovery should I download? I'm guessing the ZEMC1 version, but I want to make sure Also, should I just go along with this or should I fix the wrong product name issue first?

Did you buy your phone off ebay or similar? Fake phones are often sold as one model when really they only change the model number from another one. I certainly wouldn't flash a rom until you are certain of the model.
Samsung would never supply a phone new or refurbished like this and certainly not with the counter at 2.
Trust the boot loader, it can't be modified.

I checked the hardware specs, CPU frequency and GPU match the SGH T999 with 1.5GHz and Qualcom Andreno. I guess I got screwed over a little. Then again, it doesn't lag like the legit I9300 version of my buddies so I got that going on for me.
Then, how do I proceed with flashing stock? I notice the guide I linked includes links to U.S. carrier versions so I'm assuming I can carry on with it, apart from downloading the SGH version rather than ZSEMC
EDIT: I followed androidayos guide how to revert T-mobile gs3 to stock firmware, and it worked fine. Even the sticker behind battery was reprinted for fake i9300. I really hope no one gets screwed over like that, but in case you do, this helped.
Thank you guys for the assistance.
Similar problem
I have a similar problem with my Samsung Galaxy S3. In odin mode it pretends to be SGH-I747, but the sticker under the battery shows to be an international model GT-I9300. The about phone settings show my S3 is an international variant. I managed to open it with a screwdriver, i was surprised to see the motherboard is for SGH-I747.
I would say my phone has been modified. I have trouble with my phone as it can't connect to HSDPA. It only connects to Edge. I was thinking that flashing would solve the issue. But which firmware? It currently has android 4.3. Your help please!!
