3. International ROM Installation with Google Apps
1. Download the international ROM
NOTE: All of the following steps were completed on my Chinese Import K900 using Microsoft Windows 8 Pro 64 bit using the ROM K900_ROW_1_S_2_009_0047_130603.inb.
1. Connect the K900 to your computer via USB.
2. Create a folder named SDFUSE (without the quotation marks) in the built-in memory card,
3. Decompress the ROM you downloaded and you will have a ROM with the extension .inb
3. Copy the rom to the SDFUSE directory.
4. Power off the K900. (hold power button for 10 seconds)
5. With the phone turned off, press and hold the Volume Up button (volume+ key), then press and hold the power button. The phone will enter the DROIDBOOT PROVISION OS also named fastboot mode.
6. With the Volume buttons select the the fourth menu item SDUPDATE. At the bottom of the screen you can see the progress and status of the upgrade
7. Upon successful completion you will see SDCARD UPDATE SUCCESS!!!
8. Select REBOOT
You will now have the international version with Google Apps and Play Store.
Upon installation (2013/11/23) I was prompted with a Firmware Upgrade K900_ROW_1_S_2_009_0206_131010 which is a 577MB download.
