Hello, I just bought samsung galaxy s2 and I was wondering about few things, so I hope people with more information about s2 and all this stuff can help me.
1) My android version is 2.3.4 but shouldn't it be a 2.3.3 or smth ?
2) It is a 16gb device, but on total space area it shows 11.50gb where is another 4.5 gb ? It is divided or what a hell?
3)GPS(navigation) seems broken or can't catch a signal(yes clear sky and stuff like that was done)
4)samsung kies says my 2.3.4 is the latest version is that true ? if not which version if the latest on this device in this time ?
5)my s2 is from t-mobile poland but in my country there is no t-mobile but it works with any sim card, does this make a difference ?
thx for any help ;]

You start by reading one thing you read is the rules question goes in Q&A.
1) My android version is 2.3.4 but shouldn't it be a 2.3.3 or smth ?
Dont know about smth
2,3,4 is a valid rom why go backwards
2) It is a 16gb device, but on total space area it shows 11.50gb where is another 4.5 gb ? It is divided or what a hell?
Use Google or search XDA question asked millions of times .
3)GPS(navigation) seems broken or can't catch a signal(yes clear sky and stuff like that was done)
Read the GPS faqs.
4)samsung kies says my 2.3.4 is the latest version is that true ? if not which version if the latest on this device in this time ?
Kies is not telling lies .That is the latest firmware the phone provider has uploaded . Their are later stock firmwares but you need to read learn and understand first .
5)my s2 is from t-mobile poland but in my country there is no t-mobile but it works with any sim card, does this make a difference ?
To what ??
You need to start reading all the FAQS and gudes and stickies .
Ignorance is no excuse for bricking your phone .

Most of the answers to your questions are in the links he provided. So more informative than you think.
Well I serched but if you know those answers or some of them you might as well share

Seriously? No one wants to re-type answers that can be found by you clicking on a link.
Yes there are more current versions, but you must understand, to use the device more than just a conversation with your girlfriend or smth.., there are no shortcuts you need to read and believe me, it's addictive when you'll know what you wanna do.
good luck..

You may have mistaken this site for Samsung Support. It isn't.
Folks on here help out of a sense of community, they don't get paid for it.
The person you just told to feck off is very knowledgeable and answers a heck of a lot of questions nearly every day.
I am on the same T-Mobile UK network as you and have downloaded from here the very ROM you are looking for, although that has been updated since them. I could easily do the same search on here and point you the link, but would you know what to do with the file? Or have you already fully read the Odin flashing instructions on here?
My first time here was with the HTC Compact III, I read for at least a week all the stickies at the top of each section. When I was sure I wanted to flash a rom, I read and re-read the thread and was as well prepared as I could be.
I am deeply indebted to all those developers and the more knowledgeable on here, who turn my phone into something very special. The least I can do is search before I ask, because nearly every question has already been asked.
i know what to do

The BOKE3 was the origonal firmware for the T-Mobile UK SGSII.
BOKF3, BOKG2 and BOKK1 are revised firmwares.
The stock kernels are there if you have rooted your phone with a CF-Root kernel and then reflash with the stock kernel to get rid of the warning triangle at bootup.
The one you are looking for is not a T-Mobile UK ROM, but rather a Samsung Stock ROM for Europe. Flashing that would invalidate the phone's warranty (if you had to take it back to service). That said, that ROM is really old. For newer versions of Samsung stock ROM then look * HERE *
you are good

Today I lost my Samsung S3. Can't remember exactly what rom I had on it but I had a working jellybean 4.1 that allow me to use Fox fi/PDA net. I desperately need this program to allow me fast download speeds by Wi-Fi. I do not want to use tether because if my phone is not plugged into a power outlet the battery will die after all night of downloading. Basically I need pointed to a jellybean 4.1 ROM that is super stable. Jellybean 4.1 because Foxfi/PDA net only works with 4.1. Maybe a official jellybean from with just the bloatware gone. I have not been on the site for a while so I need a walk-through of what I need to do first with my phone as soon as I get it. Do I need to root it before I install the ROM? If you guys could tell me what I need to do and the order I need too. Maybe send me the links of the walk-throughs. I would be very grateful. As of right now I feel I'm screwed.:crying: please please help. I'm a Verizon wireless customer also.

I'm not sure which one I have because I receive my new phone tomorrow. But this link that you sent me seems like it should help me dramatically on how to do stuff. If I end up having the 9300 then I see where I can get the stock jellybean 4.1 but if I have the 9305 I'm not seeing it. do I root first or do I flash first before I install ROMs.

You neither root nor flash until you have read the basics .
Root has nothing to do with stock flash .
But please please be sure you know what you are doing first and are in the right forum .
Your older posts are not for this model SGS3 but a USA based version if its the same firmware or mods from International I9300 can easily brick your phone .

Hi all, ok its been a very long time since i rooted my sg3 , ok i have an s3 locked to vodafone and is running rom 4.1.2 baseband I9300XXEMG4, So is this normal verizon/sprint phone and yes im in the UK.
What i need to no is can somebody post a link to me and the latest easier way to root my S3 Please, sorry to have forgotton the whole thing but its been ages since i last rooted,
Also are there any latest sound boosting hacks that are available now ?
And finally sorry for posting in wrong section to the admin if i have.
Hope to get some help very soon.
Thankyou from Brian.
Makes no sense, this forum is for the i9300 international -if you have a sprint then you'll brick it with files from this forum.
Suggest you go read the sticky thread in general, rather than posting questions already asked a thousand times.
Start by finding out what phone you have .
Details are under the battery .
If it is an I9300 then all the information is posted .
Basics read first.

Oh i am of the same opinion your question made no sense as sprint verizon is USA and therefore would be in the wrong forum .Likely you would brick the phone if asking for
information here would be extremely high if that was the case and you suggest you have Vodaphone UK phone but ask about some other model .

I didn't intend any sarcasm, I don't want you to brick your phone but I'm not going to type information you can find for yourself in just a few moments.
Hi,
Just need some clarification please
I will probably would want to install a custom rom like I did for my S Advance.
1) Should I choose one from the "Galaxy S III Android Development"? (I assume this forum includes devices bought in the UK?)
2) And the type of ROM I'm looking for is one that doesn't really change anything much from stock...but makes my phone run quicker and cleaner (by removing unnecessary applications). It looks like there is one called Android Revolution HD 40.0. Would anyone recommend this?
Thanks.

Hello everyone
I have bought a SGS2 GT-i9100 and i was searching for 4.1.2 frimware for my devie. My PDA It's XXPLQ and i searched it by Samfrimware and didn't found it. My question is: There's 4.1.2 for my device? Or dosen't matter if it it's XXLJS or another version.
I don't know if this is necesary but i'm from Venezuela.
Try to search here. Link

Why would you link someone who has clearly stated they have an I9100 to I9100G firmware ? You do realise a lot of people who ask for help here take whatever help you give them rather literally & tend to blindly do what they're told without thinking ?
I hope for your sake this guy doesn't download one of the firmwares you linked to & flash it, you owe him a new phone if he does.
Edit - OP, you're very confused. There was only one 4.1.2 I9100 stock firmware released for Venezuela, which is available on Samfirmware - VNO - I9100UHMS8. There is no 4.1.2 firmware XXLPQ. You can use any stock firmware from any carrier, it doesn't make any difference. However, you seem to be completely lacking in 'the basics'. If you attempt to flash anything with your current lack of knowledge, you're asking for a busted phone. Read the guides/tutorials stickied near the top of the General section before you do anything.

You don't need to be rude here. Everyone does mistakes. And yeah i didn't notice about I9100, and i already edited the link that i provided before.
