Hi,
I have a galaxy ace 2 (i8160).
When I bought it, it came with a Polish rom - with all sorts of Polish software.
I'd like to format it and put a NZ rom on it - but can't locate one (strange - as they are sold in nz by the telcos).
My question: Always been confused about this - can I put any standard rom on the phone (like for example a UK one)?
Can anyone recommend anything please.
Thanks,
Ian

Hi, getting a SGS2, have a few simple q's. Appreciate any feeback:
1. Looking at SGS2 I9100 labeled 'Made by Samsung' (no date, apparently made for EU) vs. another one labeled 'Korean product' (dated 7/2011, made for South America). Anyone aware of any hardware differences of such models?
2. Can I flash any firmware on I9100 regardless of what is installed originally?
3. How to know which languages a firmware supports (I understand CSC settings are not about languages)?
4. Does anyone have feedback of what currently is the most stable and efficient firmware version (stock or non-stock)?
Many thanks!

1. Samsung has factories world wide. Therefore, it is hard to determine that. Only guys in Samsung can tell you that exactly.
2. Yes
3. Try it out? As far as I know, all are stock and default. Means what have in phone A should be in phone B.
4. Total self preference.

I'm new in the Android world, so i have some questions... sorry for that
my Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 is with 2.3.6 DXKL3 (Asian one) and i want to know if i can change its firmware to the xwkk5... and if i can do so, which languages does it support and what are the differences? i live in Brasil and bought the galaxy in Singapore.
You can flash whatever I9100 firmware you want on to your I9100. Region doesn't matter unless you're wanting to get updates via Kies. So far as languages are concerned, probably the same languages as any other stock firmware.
Try it & find out.
I can get a used i9100P, which is apparently branded by a local carrier (TIM).
Can this one be modded and customized like the regular i9100 or will I have problems with firmware updates and modding?
Please explain to me in a detailed way what I should need to know before getting it and if I should get a regular i9100 instead.
Hi,
better get the "real" one - gt - i9100
same probs as with the i9100G - M - T ... whatever. most developements are based on and for the "real" sgs2

Need Stock ROM forSGS III of Bouygues Telecom France
Few months ago I bought an SGS III GT-i9300 with CSC of CHU running stock ICS 4.0.4 ROM (bouygues telecom). The phone was originally bought in France, and later on when I came back to my home country ie Pakistan, I got it unlocked so it could work on local carriers. The long of the short of the story is, last sunday I decided to update my SGS III to the leaked polish JB ROM I9300XXDLIB_I9300OXFDLI1_I9300XXDLIB_XEO. This resulted in loss of connectivity with my GSM network. Sadly, I made the cardinal mistake of not backing up the original ROM, in case I needed to go back. So now I am kind of stuck with a phone which at best is just like a small tablet ....
Can anyone please help me locate Stock ICS 4.0.4 ROM for the above CSC region? As so far I haven't been able to do that despite hours and hours of trying.
Also, can I install Stock ICS ROM for CSC PAK/WDC on it? If so, how can it be unlocked & made to work with it?
I hope that someone can help me in resolving this issue. Thank you.

Thanks alot JJE. Didn't knew about this checkfus tool, but it sure is one very handy util. I will let you know of the progress asap.
Regards.
Okay, I used CheckFus to locate the ROM, downloaded it, wiped/reset S3 before going ahead and installing the ROM. But unfortunately it didn't help. By the way CheckFus in Product Code field says 'Not Active'.
I was wondering whether I should get unlock code, will it help solve the issue?
In continuation of my previous post, here is an image from Galaxy S3 Sim Unlock.

That "Not Active" against the product code is probably the cause. Any help will be hugely appreciated. regards
There is an ICS ROM posted here in samfirmware.com, it is meant for belgium and I presume it is of the newly released Galaxy pocket plus (S5301) model. Do you guys think it is okay to flash this in our S5300? Does a belgium ROM have english language in it?
Even if not....now that this ROM is available - maybe our famous cooks here can make it work on S5300.
