[Q] Problem with converted SHW M250S to i9100 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
i recently bought a galaxy s2 i9100 with 4.0.3
a week later the gps stop finding any sats,
i took the phone to the nearest phone lab and there i found out it was converted SHW M250S to i9100
they even switched the imei to a i9100 one!
i started seeking this forum for information about this,
tried switching firmwares and kernels, and even stock version 4.1.2, and of course a lot of gps problems guide in here but i couldnt get it to work.
my question is how can i know if the gps problem is hardware\software problem?
is there a chance that going back to SHW M250S firmware would solve this issue?
and of course, if i would need to change the gps part, are the i9100 gps part is the same as the korean version??
thx for the help.

plsss helpppp

Hi there, I know this is an old thread, but I thought i'd update it for new comers and googlers who come across this as I just did
I have flashed an ICS 4.0.3 LP7 Firmware over to an I9100T and the Firmware is an I9100 firmware, and I have no issues with it so far, signal and data speeds are fine and everything works as it should
I hope this helps somebody else

[Q] help, can't get my original model number back

Hello
I have a problem with my galaxy S2 and would like to know how to fix this issue.
I been searching on the web for several days and just cant figure it out on my own. If any out there know how to fix the problem, please HELP ME!!!
The issue is that I bought a SC-02c (Japanese version) and tried putting custom roms. For some odd reason, when i start the phone up, it used to say" NTT Docomo SC-02C" but now it says "Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100"(what would appear on the international version). when I look at the phone status, it says model GT-I9100.
My question is, is there a way to return my phone to its original model(Sc-02c)?
In fact, if there is a way to factory rest my phone to its original state, please tell me how to fix this issue.
thanks in advance
P.S. if i happened to thread in a wrong place, please let me know where to post.

[Q] Help. Korean Galaxy S2 Bricked

Hi guys,
A friend of mine has sent me from Korea a Samsung Galaxy S2. Model Shw-m250s
I tried to upgrade it to android 4.1.2 jb..but i used a wrong firmware (i'm italian..and i used a firmware for italian s2, what a mistake!)
now my s2 is bricked..and whatever i do it appears a screen in which is only written "UPGRADE"
but if I press Volume Down+On/Off Button+Menu Button and then volume up
it goes to Downloading Mode
It means that if i find the correct firmware i can resurrect my s2.. please can anybody tell me where i can download it..or tell me what can i do to keep this s2 in function again?
hope someone can help me
Get the firmware from Samfirmware, flash it with Odin; instructions/guides on how to do this easily found by searching.
Same problem with mw
i tried to upgrade s2 shw-m250s to jelly bean with odin, but it failed and now i am stuck. please suggest me a method that can work for me.

[Q] No SIM No Baseband No IMEI

Hi
Can any one help me to determine the problem with a GT i9100t.
I have installed stock firmware in an attempt to get it working but no luck.
It will not detect the SIM, has no IMEI and no baseband.
Is there a way to prove if this is a software or hardware issue.
it has JB 4.1.2 installed via this package I9100TDCLSD_I9100TTHLLSD_I9100TDCLSD_HOME.TAR.md5
One thing I have noticed is the hardware is actually a Korean version an SHW M250K. Not sure if this should cause a problem as it had i9100T firmware on it when I got it.
