Hi I am a newbie to Android from iPhone.
I found that it's so different to iphone. It's more difficult than high school math (I think).
I'll be so grateful if you could help me...
I have a M250S(Korean version of Galaxy S2) and am using it in Australia. I have some problems with the SMS so I want to install/flash an English ROM on my phone.
1) Can anyone please tell me or refer me to links how to flash to another stock rom?
My phone's details
Model No.: SHW-M250S
Firmware: 2.3.4
Baseband: M250S.EG06.0603.ST
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-M250S.EG14.1208-CL380592
Build No.: GINGERBREAD.EG14

* I have watched a few Youtubes about ODIN guide.
2) Can you also recommend any ROMs that suits my phone in Australia with TPG(Optus network)?

Hi everyone, I have rooted and flashed my Galaxy S 2 to cyanogen mod, but need to restore the phone back to completely stock to send back to samsung under warranty.
I have found the XXKE4 rom on the roms page but there is two files that you can download the STOCK KERNEL (5.06MB) or the XEO (POLAND 254.25MB). Not sure which direction to take.
The details of the phone stock were:
Purchased from OPTUS Australia
Phone Baseband Version: I19100XXKE4
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I19100XWKE7-CL215725
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWKE7
Any help appreciated Thanks in advance!
Stock Roms are listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
Details on how to restore are also linked to in that thread.
Did you bother to make a backup???
It is quite important.
Thanks for your help

Thank you. One more question: What firmware should i choose as there are hundreds of them?
I don't really have one to recommend, but generally the latest (non-unstable ICS) would be the most wise choice, which is probably the "frankenstein" XWLA4.
So generally i just download the Frankestein XWLA4 firmware and flash it via Odin? Sorry for asking noobish questions.
Yes thats what will work .

Thank you guys so much! I finally got rid of all that orange crap!

ICS 4.03 is safe. Do not update it to 4.04 official rom. You can easily root your phone and install CWM recovery. Then flash a custom 4.0.4 ROM or whatever you like. For a start i suggest this rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824586
hi, i currently have a Korean sgs2 sgh-m250s..rooted with Litening ROM v1.2 currently with the following phone info:
Model Number: gt-i9100
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: M250S.EE17.1453.ST
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE7-CL215725 root @DELL 103 #2
Build Number: Litening Rom v1.2 - XWKE7
i was wondering if i can flash Rootbox Jelly Bean ROM for Galaxy S2 i9100! [Android 4.1.2] [V3] on this phone? because someone told me that i need certain roms for a certain brand of smartphones coz it might not be compatible.
i hope for your kind reply..ty so much..
You have an international device which is the standard I9100 like the UK ones but different label. You can flash basically any here expect the ones on the I9100G forum and ones that end in a letter like.
Please doont ask how you root or flash custom roms, we already have plenty of question topics with answers that cover that aswell as sticky topics and guides.
Hey all, I have searched a lot but didn't find proper solution
My S2 has:
Android version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9100DDKE4
Kernel version: [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKF3
I want to upgrade the phone to latest STOCK JB for INDIA.
But couldn't find any solution or process and link to official STOCK ROMS for INDIA.
Please do tell me the actual process and do provide the link for STOCK JB ROM for INDIA.
I also read about the superbrick bug, could I be affected by this bug?
Thanks in advance
please do tell the process politely. :angel:
Pls do a search...there is answer for everything....
you can use the JB from other countries like Spain, Nordics etc....and use ODIN to flash these .... also, inm y knowldge there is no official JB for India.....
"please do tell the process politely" ---> what is that????

You can always search this forum for 'stock jb firmwares' like I did, and your questions would have been answered already!
The official jb update for india has not yet been released. But you can dowload firmwares from other regions (available in this forum or at sammobile.com) and flash using Odin..
AFAIK Superbrick bug only affects phones running leaked firmwares, like some 4.0.4 firmwares. If you're updating to an official firmware, there is little chance of being affected by this bug..
Sent from my SGS II
Actully the eMMc brick bug is only on 4.0.4 stock kernel and is only triggered by backup, restore, flash etc in stack Recovery. Bottom line, you don't ave to worry.
And you are flashing via Odin so there isn't any chance of bricking your phone by the brickbug.
