Hi everybody,
First let me Say that I am French, so excuse me in advance for my bad english...
I acquired a Samsung S3 bought in South Korea, model: SHV-E21OL/Version Android 4.0.4, LTE (and therefore compatible 3G/4G)
Back in France, I have inserted my micro SIM card sfr Telecom, perfect: internet ultra fluid 3G, incoming / outgoing calls ok, everything works except for two points:
- When I send a text message, it is written "address unknown" as the sender of the message. A bit annoying when you do not know who writes ...
- Despite a reconfiguration with services sfr telecom, no way to send / receive MMS.
I tried with another SIM card, nothing happens. But my SIM cardworks well for SMS and MMS in another phone. Then it is therefore a bug of the phone ...
You know how to fix this?
Samsung customer service pointed me to a authorized service center, but they tell me that before flashing my phone, I must sign a waiver in case of crash the phone making its use impossible and non-repairable. No thank you ...
In short, you'll have understood I am a bit stuck, and looking for a way to fix this bug.
Do you have a solution, a board, info? updates posted by Samsung France can they solve the problem? a compatible custom Rom
I am completely new to this, I read the procedures to reconfigure my phone, but the words wipe, roaming, etc. This is perfect Korean for me! :laugh:
Thanks in advance to all who will be able to help me ! :good:
try changing your message center number . it could be the problem
I have the Korean 3g model but a lot of other people have the e210l (or k/s) in different countries. I have seen some talk about text message problems, read the posts and/or maybe somebody could help you out in the Korean model thread?

Go to p33k's link he gave.. dont panic, it's all cool lol
All you have to do is flash a custom ROM supported by Siyah and then flash the special kernel meant for your S3 which is located in p33k's link above

jay, you are not the only one. I am working for sam as their cust service officer and there is one Korean student bring to me and showed me this problem too. I am thinking that the only solution is to flash custom to it, because we took quite long trying to figure out what happens. Too bad I cant recommend this solution to the person. After you flashed, let me know whether it works. Thank you.

Hey guys,
Longtime lurker, first time poster and all of that.
I am in possession of a brand new Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE (Korean model SHV-E120S).
I would love to help get custom ROMs and other things onto this device, and I'd be happy to dump my phone or provide system images... if I knew how to get them!
It seems Samsung does their mounts a little custom, as the ROM dumpers I've found don't work (missing a /proc/mtd). Can anyone point me towards how to get a dump of the .img or other files someone much smarter than I needs to get development off the ground? Even if devs don't pick it up, I'd like to get a dump of the files anyway for my own tinkering.
Appreciate any replies
hi brother l have the same device and l want the full firmware .I found the room but not the full firmware I need the PDA and pit files .go to the first section (galaxy s2 general) then go to (Korean galaxy s2 ....) on page 54 and 58 you find 3 links for the room
Yes, I saw that ROM posted before, though the tar appears broken.
What I am looking for is a tool or a guide for dumping the ROM myself. I have rooted the device (Zergrush v3) but not much else.

Hi.
I have the shv-120s and I also want a full firmware.
Love the phone. But I want swedish meny.
I think there's only English, Korean and a [custom?] Chinese ROM for the Galaxy S2 HD LTE (SHV-E120S) and LTE (SHV-E110L) phones.
If you want to update your firmware, try Samsung Kies software:
Code:
samsung.com/ca/support/mobilesoftwaremanual/mobilesoftwaremanual.do?page=MOBILE.SOFTWARE.MANUAL
So have any of you been able to use this phone in America? Are you using a custom or stock ROM? Korean or Chinese? When I try to use the phone here in Canada w/ Rogers or Fido, it won't connect to any HSPA/3G networks. Can anybody can help?

I am actually in Korea for the next year and change, so I can't vouch for it on Canadian networks. From what I know of the radio, it should work on Rogers GSM networks for 3G, but it won't get LTE/4G service there (different frequencies in Korea/North America). Are you sure your phone is unlocked?
I am running the stock Korean ROM 2.3.6, but I have rooted mine with zergRush.
Actually I should get 3G & LTE (because Rogers claims to use LTE 2600) but no HSPA+. It wont connect to the network. I suspect that it's possible that the ROM is keeping me from connecting since it's asking me if I want to use Network data outside of South Korea. I suspect the ROM wont connect to foreign data bands. I was just wondering if there was any way to try another ROM...
Hi all,
Last month I had just bought Galaxy S2 HD LTE (SHV-E120S) in Korea and bring it back to use in Malaysia.
Everything is working fine except for SMS.
I am able to send and receive SMS by using the default SMS program. But i can't send out SMS if i use third-party SMS program i.e. GoSms, Handcent SMS.
My phone is not rooted. Details as below:
Firmware version: 2.3.6
Baseband version: SHV-E120S.EL21.0917.ST
Kernel version: 2.6.355.11-E120S.EL27.1737-CL776986
Build number: GINERBREAD.EL27
Somemore, when i tried to restore the SMS backup from my old phone (I9100) to this SHV-E120S, using GoSms, "SMS to Text", "Backup to Gmail" etc, all the old SMS didn't go into default SMS program, instead, it showed only in GoSms or Handcent SMS.
I'd already done the factory reset but the problem still exists.
Do you guys have any idea on this issue?
Appreciate any help from you. Thanks.
Hi guys I am having the same problem, SHV E120s, test messages with GO SMS pro worked initially, but now i am unable to send regular sized SMS.
Just wondering if anyone has figured out how to fix this, or what the issue is
Thanks!
Hi I just got two S3, one from England (Orange) and one from Germany (don't know the carrier).
I want to flash both of them but I see several categories for the S3, and don't know what software I can use or not. Can anyone tell me what I need to check or how do I know the ROMS that I can use?
Thanks in advance

You need to find out which model you have. The international version is going to be something like the GT-i9300. If the ROM you wish to flash says it's only for that model, do NOT attempt to flash it to a different model. Doing so may brick your device.
You can find more about the different models and some useful info in the wiki on XDA for the Galaxy S III variants.

Check the model number of both the phones in settings>about. If they are GT-I9300's then you can flash ROM's from this section. If it's something else DO NOT FLASH anything form this section. Check the model numbers given in the other sections (T-mobile, sprint..etc.. etc.,) before flashing.
I purchased the above phone in China 3 weeks ago to use in the USA. Everything is in Chineese, and even when I go to the internet it uses the China internet browser. How do I change the software over to the US version? There is no sim card, and the phone has never been activated.
Android version 4.0.4, Baseline i9300ZNLH3, Kernel 3.0.15-1038370-user, build number IMM76D.I9300ZNBLH3.
if the chineese s3 version is smilar to the international s3 you can use the normal method to flash roms with odin in download mode. use forum search.
check product code backside your s3 behind battery
This is what is behind battery:
GT-I9300
CMIIT ID: 2012CP2597
Yup, the model is i9300 which is the international model, meaning you can just download a stock rom from any English-speaking country and flash it and when you reboot the phone it'll give you the option to set everything up in English.
Unless of course, you bought a counterfeit (China's pretty well known for making them) in which case I wish you the best of luck xD
Cool, I will search the posts and figure out how as I am a newbe and never done that before, Thanks for all the help.
Check out "john4lakers" on youtube. He did a fake s3 video, compare yours.. Hope its not

Follow the instructions on these 2 sites:
http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s3/
http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-unroot/how-to-unroot-galaxy-s3-i9300/
The first site tells you how to root the phone so you can flash a ROM into it, and the 2nd site tells you how to flash a stock ROM and then unroot the phone in case you don't wanna void the warranty. The site from which you can download the ROM is in the 2nd site
Man, please delete your IMEI, somebody may use it to screw thing up with your phone.
i sent him a pm.. Didnt notice he posted the whole thing.. Need a mod to do it urgently !!!

Got thru the first root process, everything when well. Working on installing the stock firmware. Could not find a US version, downloading one for the Mexico region. Hope that will work. It is downloading now so I can finish the process of installing.
Just finished rooting and un-rooting. I had alittle trouble, but the video helped alot. It was succesful. I installed a Mexico version of the phone to get rid of the China version. My question is, is there a US version avilible? I notice alot of cautions about installing the US or Canada version on this phone, and they are specific to a carrier.
Maybe I am not understanding everything correctly. If I install a custom root, does that do teh same thing? I wanted to get rid of teh country specific icons for China and get to the US ones, and that has happened for the most part. Now the screens and wallpaper are showing the Mexico carriers name.
Sorry if these are basic questions.
This forum is for I9300 International model only .
Firmware that is not for I9300 model will brick your phone .
USA see sticky top of the forum .

I installed a rom (pureHD) and not get a signal, I show only emergency calls are Orange Romania. Vr have a solution? Thanks
Same problem here. First rooted and then installed another rom and now it says only emergeny calls.

Familiar to anyone ? Thanx for the help.
One thing still....
I did use KIES and installed 3 times the stock rom of the S3 before rooting and installing a kitkat new rom.
Still not registered to a network and of course only emergency calls.

Where did you get the 'phone from? I suspect that C576 might be specific to Israel, which would explain your inability to find it online. An even worse possibility is if it's a firmware build specific to your carrier - in which case you're at the mercy of your carrier as to when/if updates will become available.
My 'phone (which I got directly from China) has C636 (international) firmware.
If you're interested in "re-branding," have a look at FunkyHuawei's thread - that'll help you get to an international flavour of firmware which'll separate you from your reliance on your carrier.

I have to point out that I haven't performed anything mentioned in that thread, so can only speak from what I've read in that thread and elsewhere about the process.

Yes, as long as you have access to a copy of the original ROM.

Potentially, anything you do to the 'phone which involves a screwdriver or a USB cable can cause damage. I've done a lot of reading on the process and haven't seen any stories of irreversible catastrophes, but as with everything, it's up to you to decide whether you're comfortable with proceeding.
I'd suggest you have a read of at least the OP of that thread to get an idea of what's involved, then read through replies to see what sort of problems people have encountered and how they were resolved.
