Hey, I couldn't find forum for my device, I wanted to know if there is any rom to my S2 i9100T?
I'm sick of the stock rom (running on android 2.3.5) and I wanted to upgrade, thanks alot!
The I9100T is exactly the same phone as the I9100 save for a slight difference in radio output - you can use any firmware for the I9100 on a I9100T. The only thing you need to watch out for is the modem; I very much recommend you stick to modems bundled with stock roms released by carriers which sold the I9100T (at least in the first instance; particularly if you're using the phone on one of those networks). As you can flash modems independently of roms, this is no big deal.

Hi guys,
I just bought a i9100T from an ugly Australian guy, so is it possible to flash the system by using i9100 rom?? The original 2.3.5 system that vodafane installed really sucks.
Thanks for the reply
Yes.
Only difference between I9100 & I9100T is different power output of radio. I9100T's also tend (not always) to get better connectivity/data speeds with a modem specifically for the I9100T.
just picked up an bell SGS2 i9100M. will all roms on xda work with it? read that a certain model i9100G doesn't so just want to be sure before rooting...
Yes they work.
I wouldn't flash any i9100g roms on a i9100/i9100m.
I highly recommend Resurrection Remix. I have the exact same phone as you.
Hi,
I know the title sounds like stupid, but someone offered me an S2 a few monthes ago, and he bought it from canada, The problem is its an i9100M, and I want to put some custom roms and kernels on it.
S2 isn't very popular in canada so After hours of searching on the net, I only found out that The canadian I9100M is identical to the international S2, AND by rooting it and installing a custom rom, it will work as an i9100, SO i tried to find the requirements to root it and then I found out that the only one avialable is KG2 while i have LD3 (i9100MUGLD3) for somereason,
So the question is, Is it safe to put the international S2 kernel while rooting since it's the same phone?
and What are the risks if I put the wrong kernel ? will the backup still work ?
Thank you for reading, Thank you more if you're answering :victory:
PS: The phone is unlocked
PS2: I'm not canadian
PS3: I'm a noob at rooting and installing roms&kernels
I9100M can use any I9100 firmware or kernel, no problem. They are functionally the same device. Just stay away from I9100G firmwares or kernels.
I live in Israel and I want to flash official israeli ics rom to my galaxy s2 i9100 ....is it possible?
No. You would brick the phone.
Sent from my Galaxy S2 GT i9100
But there's no hardware differences between this versions as I know only different modems so the 3g would work normally...so why should this brick my phone?
Australian/Oceania variants
GT-I9100T
The GT-I9100T (sold by Vodafone Australia and Telstra, and some carriers around the world except Europe and the Americas) is virtually identical to the I9100 and is functionally equivalent. There are claims on the XDA-Developers forum that this variant there are some differences in software, giving slightly better performance in the 850 MHz WCDMA band.

Info taken from wiki. In theory seems yes, but you don't have to. Your phone will work with any ROM designed for i9100.
Sorry about the wrong info. :/

YES, it is possible.
Do the following when flashing such Roms:
1. Backup your present ROM just incase.
2. Do normal wiping necessary before just like you want to flash a new ROM (just ask for help if you don't know what I'm talking about)
3. Flash the ROM
4. Flash back your modem (also known as baseband version)
5. Flash an I9100 custom kernel e.g Siyah or speedmod (don't flash any CF-ROOT kernel)
6. Fix permissions (under advanced)
7. Reboot your device.
All should go on as expected
Good luck

Hi guys, i want a firmware or custom rom for galaxy gt-i9100t, if there is any rom after 4.1.2 ! , also i have a question: the normal rom for g-ti9100 could be installed on gt-i9100t !!?
There isn't any stock firmware >4.1.2. Yes, you can flash I9100 stock roms on the I9100T, but you may have to use a modem from an I9100T rom if you're using the phone on a network belonging to a carrier who sold the I9100T.
okay 10x for help, i'm so greatfull
What about a i9100 custom rom?! Can i use it to i9100t !?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Yes, of course. the I9100 & I9100T (I also have an I9100T) are exactly the same except for a very slight difference in radio output, achieved by firmware - the modem.
If you flash an I9100 stock rom, it will include an I9100 modem which might (not always though) mess with your connectivity, and as I hinted at in my PP, in my experience, using modems which have been bundled with stock roms released by carriers which sold the I9100T tends to result in the best connectivity. You can check these by searching the I9100T firmwares on Samfirmware, which lists the baseband (modem), and you can then find/download whatever modem in question here.
However, if after flashing an I9100 stock rom your connectivity is OK, no need to change the modem. Only change the modem if your connectivity isn't great. Custom roms don't include modems, so flashing a custom rom won't change your current modem.
i got it, thank you very much for your help and your notes about the modem thing :good: .
