Hello everyone!! First of all, sorry if this has been posted already and please excuse me as I am completely new to the smartphone and android scene!
I do not own a SGSII yet but I am seeking to buy the white version of the phone, which is currently available at Bell. I'm planning to just buy out the phone itself without a contract because I will be going away to the UK in January for about 9 months. I am aware of the fact that Bell has its own firmware, giving it the name i9100m instead of i9100. So, I was wondering if I root and unlock the phone, will I be able to update the firmware and perform all the functions that a generic i9100 would and therefore be able to use the phone in the UK when I move there?
It might be a stupid question but I just thought I'd better be safe than sorry
Thanks in advance!
Yes, it won't be a problem

Yes it will work, whether you want to unlock it for rogers here in Canada or on a carrier in the UK, the process is the same. You can pretty much flash any rom you want, as rooting the bell phone pretty much breaks kies will to update. At least it did for me
Thanks guys! I thought that I had to go through a different process for unlocking and modifications, thanks again for clearing that up I will be on my way to purchase a SGSII very soon
I just purchased this phone like two weeks ago from tmobile but now im really interested on rooting the devise i wanted to know if its possible to install a ROM from the original Galaxy S2 into the tmobile version and if it'll function well could someone let me know thanks before i make a mistake...thanks...
no you cant, you have a different phone. check the specific forum for your phone for roms
Hi everybody, I've recently bought a new Samsung Galaxy S 2 HD LTE and it's amazing, but has got only one problem, I'm italian and the firmware's got some problems working with my carrier and the network, I Googled but nothing came out about what I need, a European firmware or a guide to extract the firmware from the phone and try to modify something, 'cause the problem it's not very big, but it's annoying having a firmware that's in not compatible with my network at all... Anybody could help me?
Here you go
I think you'll find your answer here in the next day or so [ this xda thread ]
Thank you, that's what I need!
can some1 help me with this phone its galaxy s2 wimax au ISW11SC already rooted...can you help me guys to install a rom on this phone....my firmware is ICS 4.0.4
Model number from the sticker on the phone chassis under the battery ? I don't recognise what you've written there & I'd be surprised if many people here would as well. Be prepared to get not very much help give you seem to have a rather obscure variant that few people here have seen.
Hi Everyone
Sorry if this is a noobie question. Can anyone help or give advice on how to downgrade and unlock Samsung Galaxy S3 on the UK Orange. What I want to do is downgrade then unlock and if possible after that install the Samsung custom rom and remove all the Orange branding and apps. Ive tried unlocking the phone via IMEI on websites and ebay but haven't had any luck so far have been told they are unable to do it.
Here are all details of the phone I can find and are listed below
Its currently on Android 4.3
AP I9300XXUGML2

Thanks
