hi all,
I've recently bought a note II to and was planning to hand over the phone to my dad.
And since my dad can only read chinese, I was planning to install a new chinese rom.
The SII i have is the international version GT-I9100.
I was planning on doing this with ODIN, but im not sure if there will be any compatability issues.
I also found this guidehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916623
but got stuck at step 7.
I removed the battery and then connected it to my laptop but there was not reaction.

K, i see that now but stil , is it possible to install a chinese rom on the phone without bricking it?
A chinese I9100g Rom on a I9100 europe phone using Odin that is.
Anyone any ideas?

As far as I know i900g's roms and kernels aren't compatible with i9100's and vice versa....it can lead to bricking your phone.
You can't just change the language in phone to chinese?

Hi all, I'm new to posting here but a vet over at samdroid.
I've looked around quite a bit and my problem seems to be unique...annoyingly.
I got my S2 on contract from O2 about 4 days ago, instantly went home and found out I was eligible to upgrade to ICS officially via kies. I have been on kies and connected my phone every day since, and I keep getting told I have the latest version (2.3.5), even though I've seen countless threads/comments of people delighted about the fact they upgraded through kies!
I was thinking of trying odin (i was a pro at updating roms on my spica), but don't know if using an offical update through odin instead of kies would void my warranty etc. NOTE: I don't want to actually root my phone (yet)
I hope that all made sense and any help would be much appreciated
Thanks,
Oli

make sure you got i9100 not any other varient
does other O2 in your area got ICS via KIES
odin is fine and will not void warrenty aslong you dont root and flash back the ROM you have now. you have to find this ROM first if you want to go back.

I got my S II on monday from o2 and I beleive its the I9100p not the I9100, if yours has NFC written on the back its the I9100p and for some reason there is no ICS on kies yet for it

what do you mean by this?
also is there an official rom for my particular S2 that can be updated using odin? or even an unofficial one that wont void warranty?
thanks for all the help guys
This Thread has instructions and official ICS.
Plz note that this is official and will have TouchWiz and does look extremely similar to Gingerbread and without root and custom theme you will not get that ICS feel. You will however get most of the goodies that ICS has to offer.
I got my S2 on contract from O2 about 4 days ago, instantly went home and found out I was eligible to upgrade to ICS officially via kies.
Well that's not exactly true you upgrade if their is an upgrade for your exact phone .
Kies has firmware for GT-i9100KAO2U product code .
I have been on kies and connected my phone every day since, and I keep getting told I have the latest version (2.3.5), even though I've seen countless threads/comments of people delighted about the fact they upgraded through kies!
But not for your phones product code which obviously does not match the released O2 firmware .O2 may well and probably over twelve months had more than one phone for sale unless contract has different codes to PAYG .
Standard older O2 UK firmware for xxx Product codes is on Kies its also on this forum in a legitimate flash via Odin .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
legitimate O2 firmware not stock Samsung tested and works on O2 .
Or you can go to Google find CHECKFUS and try to download from your codes .

you still didnt confirm if you have i9100P which i think you have but i could'nt find the Stock ROM your running now, so you can go back to it later if required.
if you have i9100P this thread has good news for you though the actuall thread is stupid and useless...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24030713
i think what happened to u is you got the model which is i9100P not the usuall i9100, thus all on normal model are on ICS and you still on GB. you can wait for it to come or use the i9100 ROM's but please search if that is actually possible.

finally, if i update like this, will i be able to update officially through kies when the update is finally released for me?
no im not covering my self...... i tell you in points....
1: you got I9100P on O2 for which i cant find a firmware for.
2: because you cant go back to your old firmware which is O2 you will get into warrenty problems

ok, i guess i'll wait for the official update then. thanks for your help
here are your options if you still want to continue.
1: you can flash stock firmware for i9100.
2: you can flash custom firmware
3: you can flash O2 branded firmware for i9100.
but in all cases NFC wont work by default.
plus now you cant go back to O2 i9100P firmware as it cannot be found anywhere... atleast by me.

Hey everyone, this is my 1st post on xda , hopefully not the last one .
I live in Egypt now & my question is about buying a Samsung Galaxy S2.
From my research about latest firmwares, ICS is not yet released for middle-eastern SGS2.
So my question is, am I able to install a firmware from another country that had the ICS released into my middle eastern purchased phone or not ?
Any feedback will be appreciated.
Thank you !

Yea. Go to www.sammobile.com and find a firmware you want and flash through Odin

Oh Great ! that's good news.
Bec. I read in a diff. forums that doing that, bricks your phone.
and btw, does it matter which country's firmware I choose ?
Thanks again !
You brick when you use different model Rom and flash. Example i9100 to i9100G = brick
I9100G to i9100 = brick
plus we have a leaked jplpc Rom, which works just fine

Hi,
First you root the phone (there are many topics on that).
Then, you don't need to use odin (only for Lightning rom's, but everything is cristal clear with this rom), if you want to test other roms/kernel.
Enjoy.
If you are looking at rooting/installing a new stock ROM/firmware you better check that your Micro USB cable is working properly. A faulty one which may disconnect in the middle of a setup will create a big mess.
Hello all,
I have encountered a problem on my i9308 galaxy s3 so I hope some of you on xda could help me out.
First of all, I got the phone from China Mobile. As such, there was no play store or any google related apps. Thus I flashed a custom rom using cwm.
Everything was fine, until I noticed the micro sim card was not recognized, and so I flashed everything back to the stock rom. But now, even though I do get bars, whenever I try to call, it says "not registered on the network".
I also tried flashing a custom rom in cwm then flash the i9308 modem in odin, but the stop sign symbol is still present. I also tried flashing an UK firmware (PDA) and the i9308 modem but odin fails at the modem flashing part.
Frustrated, I took the phone to the T-mobile store, but they figure out what's wrong with the phone. They gave me the number for tech support, but I have a feeling that they won't resolve this problem.
Thank you for reading this post, sorry for the long story, but I wanted to give the whole picture for my problem.
I would gladly appreciate any help at all, so post your ideas, even if it's far fetched.

No, the Galaxy S3 GT-i9308 is only sold by the company China Mobile, so if you've never lived in China, you probably have never seen one.
On another note, I'm still having the same issues. I flashed the i9300 (US) firmware onto my i9308 to basically turn the OS into an american version but now my SIM is not being recognized and the phone will not register for any updates. Im going to just flash back to the stock i9308 firmware, root it then uninstall all the chinese apps, flash to AT&T and it should work fine considering I was able to flash to ATT, previously, before flashing the i9300 firmware, and everything worked fine except for having problems getting the Google App store to work correctly and such...which I'm sure I can play around with it a little longer to figure that out. Anyways - hopefully some of my errors will help stop others from doing the same.

Hi,
I first apologize for my english, but this is not my native langage
So, I've got an issue with my SGS2... At the beginning, the phone freeze while I was on the phone internet browser. I 've retired the battery in order to de-freeze it. At the rebbot, impossible to reach my mobile carrier (in France, Free Mobile).
A *#1234# return a "CSC : Unknown".
I've done a full wipe, reinstall via Odin the last ROM, XWLPX from Nordics Countries. My phone run fine, but I still have the CSC : Unknown.
I'm at the moment on XWLPX Nordics Countries with CF-Root 5.6-NEE-LPX...
What's going wrong ? Is this important ? How can I solve it ? It's not seem to be "urgent" because the phone is running fine (apparently), but...
Thanks for your help and have a good day
Same here. Can you use different languages in Samsung's keyboard ? I can't.
I'm using swype and yes, I can switch from french to english, and english to french without any problem.

The only thing you are missing right now, is the ability to change Samsung keyboard language.
There are better keyboard alternatives in market, that will give the possibility to change whatever you want.

Hey everyone. Ive tried a few roms and after dealing with my fair share of quirks, i want to go back to the stock rom.
I know that sammlobile has them but there is a problem....i live in the USA and they dont have any roms listed for my region that i can find.
I have an unlocked galaxy note 2 (gt-n7100) rooted and i have clockwork recovery. I just cant find the stock rom for the united states.
Does it even matter? Lets say i download the one for jamacia....would it work just the same?
Thanks all! Feel free to look on sammobile for yourself. If you find a n7100 rom for the USA id love a link. Im using straight talk (att) if that matters.

I think it don't have any Stock firmware for USA because this phone (n7100) is not for USA (in US they have different version of note 2 like i317 and so on), you will never find any STOCK ROM for USA.
So, I will suggest you to find which Country your phone originally belongs and try to flash ROM for that country.

I think, you wont brick your phone by downloading the wrong region ROM. You can put any version from any country only if your phone model is N7100.
Anyone, please correct me if I am wrong.
