My keyboard is stuck in korean
My Swype keyboard got stuck in korean when I tried to root it. So I can't download the kernel from google play, because I can't sign back into google. Can anybody help me? I know if I get an english keyboard I can solve this, but everything is downloaded from google play, and all the other sites require you sign in some way, and I don't know how to use this korean keyboard. PLus the other apps sites don't recognize the korean.
Help!

You need to read a lot more mate.
Here's a good place to start.
Read this too.
BTW, stock recovery is a special mode in ur phone, while Odin is a software that runs on Windows.

Indeed. Thanks man!
Soon to make a thread
'Help I have no imei'
Read loads mate or have a paper weight.
Forgive me, as I'm new to this.
I have a stock Bell Galaxy SII that I'm quite happy with, but I would like it unlocked. Bell wants $75 to unlock it (I'm 2/3 of the way through my contract) and vomited a little at that cost.
I've done some reading through the forums, but not only if it mostly over my head, but it seems the unlocking requires rooting the phone. My quesitons then....
-is it possible to unlock the phone while still in stock software?
-if not, what is the simplest way to root but keep everything pretty much as is?
I appreciate any help, advice, guidance, or links where the questions have already been answered. I've looked through quite a bit, but find it difficult reading with so many references and acronyms I'm uninformed of. I'm very cautious about bricking my phone, but a couple of upcoming trips to the US have me looking at unlocking.
There is no way to unlock without rooting.
You can however unroot after unlocking.
Which firmware are u on? And what model do u have?

I will give that a go. Much thanks.
The initial download was broken, but found one later in the thread. When rebooting, no CWM.zip found as it says in the instructions... I'll read through the thread in more detail.

I've read through the entire thread, but everything was aimed at 4.0 (I'm running 4.1) and once the posts get more current, they pull the CWM because of the bricking issue.

It works in JB also.
CWM was pulled because of risk of eMMC Brickbug in 4.0.4 versions. You can download a CWM for you device from ROM manager website (given in the thread).
Or if its any comfort, use Philz safe CWM.

Hi,
I have a samsung S2 GT-I9100G,
I was running ICS and a update came through.
I updated my fone and now its hard bricked itself.
The fone turned off to update and neva turned back on.
I dont know how it happened.
I download a Kernel_I9100XXLPH and with that i was able to get download mode working.
I've downloaded a few firmwares to download into the fone,but it just fails
After Reading through the forum i think i have a corrupted nand,
So i took my fone to the fone shop and they told me that they tried to flash it and it wouldn't work.
They advised me to get a new fone
Now ive tried using a few step By step for noobs to fix it, but i cant seem to get it to work.
Since i have a empty fone, i have been trying to download jelly bean into it.
Any help would be great.
Thanks Rafmed
You must have flashed a kernel/firmware meant for the I9100 mate!!
I think ur gonna need a motherboard replacement!

Hi,
Thank you for a reply.
I have been download firmware from the S2 section in XDA.
After reading the forum, that's what i have come up with also.
But i thought i might just ask anyway's before i give up.
Rafmed
The S2 section has firmwares and kernels for both I9100 and I9100G. But both phones have different hardwares and if you mix those files, you will brick ur phone.

Hi,
I did not notice that and will look into it. Thank you.
I already had iCS running, So i have no reason to want to play around with the fone.
I received a notice for an update and i accepted, After i did that the fone turned off and didn't turn on.
I removed the battery and tried to turn on the fone. nothing. After playing with it a sign came up saying that firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again.
But once i connect to kies, it doesn't recognize the fone.

Yup..
Only look for the section 'Flashing firmware with odin'. Don't follow anything else or download from there.
If ur scared to do that, use this guide:

1. Just download the firmware version you want
from the second or third posts and extract
the .tar or .tar.md5 file in the archive and save it
somewhere
Thanks a lot mate. I really appreciate. But where do I download it from..... Sammobile? Sorry for the annoying questions.
