Hello,
First of all, thank you for the time you'll spend helping me figure this out.
I have an Samsung Galaxy S2, korean version, which only have English and Korean languages, besides all the specific things that come with it's particular ROM. It has version 4.0.4 at the moment.
What I'd like to know if it is possible for me to 'turn' it into an European version, installing a ROM 'designed' for that same model. If so, I'd appreciate if someone could guide me (or just point the right direction..) in how to do it, since I'm kinda new at the Android world. More of a iOS user until now
Any information needed about the phone, please let me know.
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Júlio

Welcome to the android world,
Have a look here, here and here. These might be useful to you.
Also use the Search option effectively. That is one powerful tool in XDA
Before you flash anything be sure of what you are doing. Good luck :good:
You may not believe it, but I've already red one or two (not sure now) of that topics, besides another good amount of pages all over the web. Anyway, I'll take a(nother) good look again at the links you posted, and let you know something when done.
Maybe they have all the information I'm looking for
Thank you for your help.

Hey,
I'm having some troubles regarding the wifi signal on my GS2. Does anyone know if this is normal?
At work, I'm only two meters away from the router, and I NEVER get full signal. Instead, while working on wifi (like adding an e-mail account), it keeps losing signal and failing.
Thank you
Cheers

At least I admit to being completely green here. Please be gentle.
I got my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 today. All I want is a recommendation on which ROM to put on this bad boy, please. I have already rooted it following the instructions found here. Rooting was a piece of cake.
When I look at all of the ROMs available, I am kind of confused as to which ones I can actually use with my model of tablet.
It is a model GT-P7500 which the following:
Android v3.1
Baseband P7500UBKG6
Kernel 2.6.36.3
[email protected] #1
Build number HMJ37.UBKG9 P7500UBKG9
Thank you very much for your suggestions. I am looking very forward to enjoying my tablet.
By the way, I did do some research, but get kind of confused because when I read about the different ROMs available, I am not sure which one can be used on my tablet. I don't want to mess up by attempting to install something that I am not supposed to. I figure it is better to ask for advise than it is to turn my tablet into a door stop.
Thank you all, again!
What tablet do you exactly have (there are variations of that tablet)?

Not to sound like a complete idiot, but what do you want to know, exactly? I posted what I thought would be needed, but am not sure where to find the "variation" info. I posted everything from the "about tablet" screen.
I appreciate you answering my question. Thank you.

It turns out that you have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7500 (3G & WiFi). You could check out this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268099 or this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233328 .
Thank you very much. I will check those out.
Edit: I was looking at the ROMs at those two links provided. Unless I am mistaken, they are not for my tablet.
Or, do the ROMS work on any tablet, regardless of the build and baseband I currently have?

I'm not sure what you are asking. If you are asking if I am asking how to use ROMs, then in a sense, yes, I am.
I am not quite sure if I can apply just any ROM I want to. I noticed that when people post ROMs, they post which device they were made on. If my device is different, I am not sure if I can use the ROM or not. That is what I am asking.
When I look at the ROMs that are in the links above, they are not created using the same firmware that I have. I want to ask for advice before doing something stupid.
Thank you.

If a rom is not made for your device, do not ever try to flash it. Unless, of course, you want to turn your device into an expensive paper weight . If you flash a rom not made for your device, it will be bricked.

Thank you. That is what I was trying to find out. But, to clarify... I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1. Can I use any ROM made for a Galaxy Tab 10.1? Or, are there other parameters that also need to match? If so, what parameters?
I really appreciate the help you guys provide. Kudos!

Only if it is your version of the tab. Example - You should not flash a rom made for the Wifi-only model of the tab since you have the 3G+Wifi model.

Great! Thank you. I was under the impression that the ROM had to come from the same firmware version, etc. But, if it is just model specific, that is a huge help.
Thank you, again!!
Another question to help me understand. In one of the links posted above, the ROM instructions say:
Please note that your Base stock Rom should be JPKG6
then:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is what is confusing to me. If I have a Wi-Fi/3G model (GT-P7500), and it is not based on JPKG6, according to the instructions, I should not use this ROM. But, in the last post you said that as long as the model is the same, it is OK.
Why the instruction to have base stock ROM, then?
hey have any of you guys installed a custom roms on the SGS2 i have the phone rooted and i was contimplating installing a custom rom just wanted you guys information on how safe it is to do so. I was acutally looking for a nice ICS custom rom but apparently i would need one for my kernel(XWKL1). What would happen if i install a custom rom of ICS ment for a different kernel would it brick my phone?
thanks in advance for any information.

None of us on this development forum flash custom roms .

probably but you are better off reading and learning before bricking your phone
ICS is yet to be released but we do have a buggy leaked ICS test rom you need to know how to recover before flashing .

Yes it is safe if you know what you're doing and for you that means don't go anywhere near an ICS ROM try a Gingerbread ROM first but before you do that read and read and search and search.
Just practising my speed typing....
wow thanks for such a quick reply so for example if i were to install the Omega rom i would need to get one for my kernel version only right? Then if would need to revert all i need to do is flash my old insecure kernel back and i would be back.
edit: - i didnt see B3311 post. ok i am a lil confused now if i were to install a custom rom ment for a differnt kernel would it work or would i brick my phone?
Kernel version doesen't matter.

Search, Read, Backup and try. Everything you need to know is in the threads. Please read friend that is the only way you get to learn. Look at me. Been reading upon the threads once i had my galaxy s2 just before xmas and i have read upon two months before i got my phone. Now even though i only joined recently i know near enough what i need to do regarding as rooting and flashing roms and themes go. But i still search whenever i can for what i need before i have to ask questions. And most of the time it is right there infront of you. Also another thing if you think the search engine is crap on xda use google. Most of the times it gives you what you are looking for.
Not having a go but today mininum have been two three threads what rom is the best and what one to use and so on. Anyway good luck with the flashing and hope you enjoy whatever you choose

And the key to all the reading is that you are less likely to brick your phone more likely to be able to recover from problems.

True but even with all the reading at least you will feel more comfortable about going about and rooting the phone and flashing a rom. That way at least you do not have to expect others to spoonfeed the information to you. Also when you flash a rom for the first time you will feel great about yourself cause you did it all by yourself than asking others to help you. Hope that makes sense.. and to what you said also you have a great point and i always read your posts when you help people JJe as you are one helpful guy.
Hey, I just contacted Google and advised them to remove the Google search widget that comes standard on every android phone's home screen.
It useless I told them, nobody seems to even notice or use it. Heck, why search when you can just ask?
Still waiting for there reply.

to be clear i never asked which rom was the best and which one to use. I have been reading up on all the different roms available i have narrowed it down to the ICS and the Omega rom and i know how to flash the roms the instructions there are quite clear my only query was about the kernel version for which i could not find a solution. Now i have another question since you guys are saying the kernel version does not matter then why are they country specific and suppose i use a kernel ment for USA would that mean when ics finally got released here for the sgs2 i would need to reflash my phone with the gingerbread 2.3.6 version before i could get the official ICS update from kies?

let me make this clear. Different variants of the s2 hence why you see different forums. If you have an international version then you are safe to flash whatever you want in this forum here. So if you see USA version I would steer clear it as it has nothing to do with the international version if that makes sense. Regarding your other question well yes flash BBL to stock official ROM and that is it

The kernal is not related to country or carrier. The csc is.
Practically all custom roms come with working kernals and modems for the rom.
As for getting the official upgrade, you can reflash your original firmware, but most here just download the new official firmwares from the Intratech thread or sites like sammobile and flash it with Odin. No need for kies. I don't use it at all except for when I first got the S1 in 2010.

HI everyone, I've been here for some time, reading things most of the times, but now I've got a doubt, I'm hopping someone can explain to me.
My i9100 has in the Baseband version i9100BUKG1, which modem version can I flash on this baseband, I've been reading through the forums, and perhaps that information is somewhere around, but I can't seem to find it.
Suppose, I want to run CM9 or the preview of CM10 that has been release, what is the most indicated modem version for my i9100 that I should be running?
Thanks in advance to all of you.

Depends on which ROM you would like to flash?
A quick google search will bring you multiple tutorials.
Or look at my post on this thread page 2 there is a tutorial on there.

Obviously you may need to change a few things depending on the device model you have as this is for G925i.
