Hi everyone,
I'd like to flash a Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) rom into my Samsung Note SGH-I717; I want the entire interface to be Traditional Chinese. Also, I'd like to unlock the phone as well. Can anyone please tell me how to do it?
PS: This is an AT&T phone that will be used overseas which is a GSM carrier.
Model #: SGH-I717
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband: I717UCLA1
Kernel: 2.6.35.11
Build #: GINGERBREAD.UCLA1
Much help appreciated!
Cheers

Why didn't you buy the international note? It supports Chinese language interface.
I didn't think too much and thought it was a quick flash. Didn't do my research
Please tell me it's possible
The rom nearest to Taiwan would be the Singapore rom. Its ICS not JB. Its what I used last year. I'm betting it would have your language pac. Its listed as N7005 Novena rom by Nunhugger.

What model of i717 go you have? I have an international version N7000. Perhaps a trade.

bump for help ...

you asked if you can flash a chinese rom on your i717. i717 is for the Northern American market, and so one will not expect to find an official rom that has built-in chinese support. and since it's different from the international GN (n7000) in terms of hardwares, n7000 roms from south-east asia won't install. some have suggested the i717 is very similar to the korean version of GN and those roms can swap with i717's, but you need to google it yourself. Your best bet is to look up chinese forums and get support from enthusiasts in that region, but we know that didn't go well. so there we go.
at the end of the day, I think you are barking up the wrong tree.

Hi guys, I've been browsing through this forum for awhile now, very helpful threads, you guys do an amazing job!
This is my first post and I would like some help.
I'm from Canada and I ordered my S2 from Newegg.ca, so my phone came factory unlocked and right now I'm running it on the Telus Network.
Samsung started releasing their firmware updates for the different regions, but I'm really confused on witch firmware to get.
I believe my phone is running on the UK firmware but I would like to use a North American firmware, here's the detail:
PDA: I9100XWKF3
Phone: I9100XXKE7
CSC: I9100XEUKD1
Would I be able to run any firmware from any region I want without damaging my phone?
And witch firmware is for the Canadian region?
Thanks in advance.
Anybody?
I'm a noob at this, never owned an android phone before.
So please guys, you'll make me really really happy

Hi Ghost, thx for your reply.
I want to to know about actual firmware and not roms.
Can you please direct me to an actual firmware I can use for my SGS2?
and will I be able to use any firmware that's not the generic Europe+UK?
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.

Hey I was wondering what the beat modem and firmware are for AT&T US usage. My current is UBLF2.

Which variant of gs3 do u have? I9300 or i747?
I9300 International Version
I am sure people are going to chime in telling you, there is no BEST modem. Each region, city, location, area has it's own "BEST" and you will have to test that yourself.
So before that happens, I will direct you to where I went;

Hope that helps,

P.S. I tried them all, none gave me any better call signal/reception. But I might have experienced better data, I wasn't testing for that, so I didn't take much notice.. I am now on XXLFB from the XXBLFB (BTU) UK update and I am still testing, but so far no obvious increases..
Sorry to resurrect this old thread but in trying to use the i9300, I bought in Germany, in the United States on the At&t network and am not sure which modem to use from the modern thread. I'm on every latest cm10.1 build so JB 4.2.2 and up.
Please help me! I appreciate it.

Whichever you flash that gives the best performance
There is no best modem
Hi all,
I bought a samsung galaxy s3 yesterday here in China, only to realize that MANY features are missing. This includes Google Play, S Voice and other features which was the original reason why I bought this phone. So I was wondering if there is ANY way of changing the firmware of the S3 to some other firmware which does have these features or is this simply impossible?
Here is some info:
Operator: China Mobile
Model Number: GT-i9300
Android Version: 4.0.4
Baseband Version: i9300ZNLF2
I hope that is enough info to answer the question.
I have read recently about 'rooting' but I'm unsure if this has anything to do with my problem...
Thank you! Any feedback is greatly appreciated!!!

you are in the wrong section man, this whole subfourm is for the us dual core lte variant of the s3s (i747) not the i9300, go to the i9300 sections http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1563
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.
Also, you can try this link for more details - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31801046&postcount=1

Is there a way to tell where my phone came from so I get the right thing? I have cyanogenmod on it right now.

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.
