I Tried To reset But No Use Its Hang on andriod logo CAn i use Different PDA On My Galaxy S2
Good lord, dude. You give next to no details on what specific phone you have beyond the fact you have a "Galaxy S2", and are expecting someone to tell you what to flash to it. From the wikipedia article, I count nearly a dozen COMPLETELY different models of phones that are called Galaxy S2, and TWO that are similarly modeled, (GT-I9100, and GT-I9100G) but different enough that if you flash a firmware intended for one onto the other, you end up with a paperweight.
First things first: what the heck model phone do you have? It's on the label under the battery.
If (and ONLY IF) your model is "GT-I9100" (NOTE: NO "G" AT THE END), then follow the link that JJEgan posted. There are instructions in the first post. You can probably use the latest firmware in post #2.
If your model is something else (ANYTHING that starts with "SGH-"), than you are in the wrong forum, and DO NOT flash anything you get from any postings under the I9100 forum.

Being mobile can't even see location to which would be a start since CSC is location based...
Go to thread linked prior as will have information you need...

SGS II-I9100G update question.

Hi, my sis is using SGS II GT-I9100G, she wants to update to stock ICS (singapore) firmware. I found this (GT-I9100_XSP_I9100DXLP9_I9100OLBLP9_I9100DXLP9) firmware and im not sure can her phone update to this firmware cos the file name is stated "GT-I9100_XSP" instead of "GT-I9100G. So can anyone help me out here to confirm whether i can just update via odin or not? Or is there any other stock ICS for "GT-I9100G"? Thanks in advance.
GT-I9100G does not has ICS yet
If not sure whether there is a fimrware update available for your phone check SamMobile or use 'Check Fus'.

You cannot. That firmware file is for the I9100, NOT the I9100G.
I9100 and I9100G are not compatible for firmwares and kernels between the two phones due to the different CPU/GPU/SoC.
If you flash a i9100 firmware on a i9100g phone then you will brick your phone, go for a custom rom.
Nevermind
ok, thanks guys...so i guess i have to put on hold without choice...

Flashing At&T S3 with unbranded firmware

Hi,
I currently have a samsung galaxy s3 branded on at&t running on 4.1.1 (model: SGH - 1747)
However, it does not have chinese language on it and I need to have it installed. After searching the web, it seems the only way is to flash a firmware over it. How do I do this?
I had downloaded Odin and a Unbranded firmware. However I'm not sure if the firmware is right for it. I9300XXDLJ4
If I flash this firmware over my existing at&t branded on, would it work ? Or will the phone not work anymore?
Thank you.
It's urgent.

Frankly, I think that's impossible. I have a Galaxy SIII GT-I9308, which is customed for CHINA MOBILE. When I flash XXELLA and replaced the modem.bin, it seems to be bricked....
DON'T FLASH IT!
You don't have an international i9300 do you! So don't flash it or you will possibly end up with a paperweight
