I'm due for a new phone on October 1st through sprint, and I already have my mind set on the galaxy s3.
Although after looking through the forum I see that there's a bunch of roms. Which is a good thing, except none of them are marked as to which carrier they work for (that I've seen.)
So without having to ask each thread, is there something that I'm missing? Basically, is there some way of telling which one will work with which carrier?
I'm coming from the evo that was a sprint only phone. So it was pretty simple in that there was no choosing.
Thank you,

Considering you're in the i9300 forum, what do you think? All ROMs made for the i9300 will work for all kinds of i9300, and there's only two types of the i9300, the 16GB model and the 32GB model.

I'm using tapatalk and thought I was in the right place. Until I started seeing roms for different countries, I got a little skeptical.
I had a feeling that it was a simple answer, I just wanted to be sure. Lol

The only thing that "should" differ country-wise would be localization and language. Nothing else.

So I bought my phone striaght out the AT&T store and I have heard repeatedly that the AT&T version of the Galaxy S II is the SGH-777 but when I boot my phone it always says GT-I9100....is there a difference? And if so does that mean I should be using a different forum to get my ROMs? Thanks for answering my question in advance and for any help provided.

I9100 is the international version of the SGSII. If you bought it new in the U.S. it should be an i777. If it has been flashed it could have an i9100 ROM on it, but if you got it from an AT$T store I doubt that's the case.

Was your phone sealed in the box or refurbished?
Sent from my A500 using xda premium
Sounds like he somehow got a device from the store that had a custom kernel flashed on it... Same question, is there a big yellow triangle?
Was this a refurb?
Yep, sounds like someone messed with this phone before! I'd take it back and exchange it!
I dont believe stores can sell refurbished phones, only online can sell them. Either someone in AT&T was messing around with a phone and flashed a custom rom on it, or somehow an international version got slipped in... but the box would have to be a blue/white/orange box with AT&T on it.
Weird.

I'm curious about this. lol
Yea I bought it brand new with my upgrade straight from AT&T. Lol I think I know the issue tho...I don't exactly remember what it was like stock but I've since flashed a ROM on it from this forum, maybe that explains it. I could have sworn that it always said I9100 but truthfully I might not have noticed it til after I flashed.

Before rooting my phone for the 1st time, I read the entire FAQ and knew that if I used methods that tripped the flash counter I would get the caution mark boot screen.
Your first post makes it seem like your phone came rooted from the store, when that wasn't the case.

Exactly. It's not hard to read the FAQ.
It's worse to mislead us all by making us thing your device came like this from the store.
What do you expect from someone who uses "y'all" in print.
Stupid is forever.
holy crap. I just looked at his attatched image he put up earlier in the thread and the build number says "ICS'd Out" V9 or whatever. That would have given it away. I guess none of us looked at it closely. LOL

i had a thrill 4G(unlocked) and now I am going to buy a galaxy s2 from ebay. So few questions for you guys
this might be crazy though but i just want your help
unlocked I777 price is lower than i9100 on ebay --why is that?
According to gsmarena i777 got a talk time of 18hrs while i9100 has about 18hrs (at&t web site also says talk time in i777 is 8hrs) Any difference in battery department ???
Thanks guys

The i777 and the i9100 are mostly the same.
Differrences:
I am not certain whether there is a radio chip on the i777 but the i9100 does have radio
It is locked on to the at&t network unless you buy the unlocked one
And specially in Sri Lanka the phone would be more exclusive because many owners have the i9100...
The i777 has the NFC chip built in to the battery and the i9100 does not
These are the basic differences. I have posted a link which explains many differences further....
Developer support for both these roms has been exceptional and are still continuing...

IMO Price reduction may be due to the carrier supplying these devices at a subsidized price. But I am not aware of the exact reason. Are you purchasing brand new or used?

Either I'm missing something or no one has done one of those concise all encompassing most important threads that includes all types of goodies in one place.
I am using an international note, i9300 on AT&T and wanted to see if any other, I guess countries' baseband/radio would work better for my area. Stock (I9300UBLF2) seems to obtain a slightly weaker or less signal than my AT&T Note did previously.
Anyone mind pointing/linking me?
Thanks,

Hello, I have experience with Android phones, but not with samsung phones in particular. The amount of different Galaxy SII models is overwhelming.
Anyway...
My dad just got this phone from Bell(in Canada) The box says Galaxy SII HD LTE. Its the one with 4 buttons, 4.65 HD screen. Specs are as follows:
LTE:700/AWS
HSPA+ 21Mbps Triband(850/900/2100MHz)
EDGE/GPRS/GSM850/900/1800/1900MHz)
I want to root it and load a nice quick ROM on it for my dad.
I want to know if its safe to use ROMS and other tools from this forum or is it a very different phone from the I777?
link to phone: http://www.bell.ca/Mobility/Products/Samsung_Galaxy_S_2_HD_LTE/Specifications.tab
I have a feeling every carriers version is different minus international. Especially the different name. Not sure so go ahead and flame I'd I'm wrong

It is not at all the same. It is very similar to the skyrocket, I think dsixda has cyanogenmod for it in the i9100 section (even though it really doesn't even belong there)

Why didn't he get an actual i777?
Hi Everyone,
This is my first post. I tried searching the net and this forum for answers but can't find any so I'm trying my luck here. The problem with the phone is it is from korea and I'm from the philippines. Function wise there is nothing wrong except that when anyone sends me an sms the phone does not recognize the sender when the sender is already added to my contacts. When I try calling my phone using the same phone I use to send an sms it can recognize the caller from my contacts. What is the problem? how do i solve this?
Try the GT-I9100 Q&A forum.

it can only manage "g" (that's what the icon displays) not 4g speeds which I've tested at only 48kbps.
I think I should flash an ATT firmware, but after several days of searching (seriously) I don't know if I'm going to brick my phone. Help please!!:crying:
