i have this Korean Galaxy S2
few questions to ask the experts ...
1: am i on the latest Stock Korean Firmware ? 2: can i flash any official/stock Firmware of GT-i9100 using Odin ? like using the .pit file then the PDA then the phone and modem ... all together 4 files ? 3: after that ... can i ROOT my phone normally ? i mean like standard procedure ? i mean using Odin or other methods like superoneclick or CWM etc ?
if i flash stock firmware of GT-i9100 via Odin ... and root it ... do i still face that boot loop problem ? and then have to install the original stock korean KERNEL ??
since there is no chance that i would be using my phone in korea .. so is it fine to have a stock firmware of i9100 ??
and after root .. can i install KERNELs of my own choice .. for e.g semaphone , speedmod , galaxian etc etc ???

Hello friends,
I am living in Israel and got the SC-02 (a friend brought me from Japan).
I put on the phone the operating system ICS (Open Europe - the offial version).
I notice that i got no GPS working , and i got some cellular reception problems (some times delay in calls, calls are cut in the middle and sometimes no reception at all).
From what i have read in this forum i understand that the SC-02 got different hardware and memory from the Eruropian version.
Does anyone knows where can i find an official ICS sutiable for my phone including instructions ?
I found some unofficial guids, for Cyanomode + SC-02 kerenels , but the instructions seems very complicated and unclear...(i didnt root my cell phone).
If this is the only choice that i have got.. does anyone know of a good instructions link (or can tell here in simple words what have to be done ?)
I will relly appreciate any help ...please..
Many thanks ,
Ran
Your "Special" Galaxy SII
Hi Ran,
I too have been gifted with a SC-02c in Israel.
My first recommendation is that you try and give it back. You REALLY REALLY want the international version which is the version used in Israel. Failing that cry a little after you have finished with that.
1) You can actually burn the local versions of the firmware but you need to preserve the
- Kernel of the SC-02c
- Modem of the Sc-02c
If you do that everything will work fine minus the FM radio and NFC
See following link for help :
---www&japanmobiletech&com_search_label_SC-02C---
replace & with .
Replace _ with\
2) Don't break the screen as you will not be able to easily replace the screen in Israel as the chassis of the SC-02c and the international version are not the same.
The solution: I let you know in a few days as I have to replace mine.
Hi , Many thaks
Nice to know that other guys in Israel already encounter the same problem.
I have ICS (Open Europ ) on my device now.
Can you please explain how can i change the kernnel and modem version ?
Shell i do it with Udin ? where can i find the correct kernnel and modem version for
the SC-02C (does it suit with ICS ?) ? I Cant see the link you put here ..
Thanks,
Ran
having the same problem
hello gays,
having the same problem as Ran,
can u please guide me how to solve the problem?
tnx,

SC-02c in ISrael
See instructions at the website I gave you. I had to change the "." and "\" as this forum won't allow me past links at the moment.
It explains how to burn "kernel & modem" and using heimdall
You can use the Kernel from Siyah which will give you root access and other neat features. If you want to use the "original" kernel & modem you need to find the ICS version of sc-02c at website
samsung-updates&com_category_news
but I wouldn't bother just use the version from Siyah.
Let me know how you go.
Hi,
After aloog try i cusseded in flashig the ICS official ROM (from sammobile the V. from 16 June). I needed to configure again the partitions (Via original SC-02C PIT file) , after that i turn into old android version (2.3.6) and after that the ICS.
For now everthig is working fine exept from the GPS..
I use :
Model no :SC-02C
Android version : 4.0.3
Baseband Version : SC02COMLPG
Kernel version : [email protected]#3 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jun 13 20:42:11 KST
Build no : IML74K.OMLPG
While i am doing reset (boot) for my cell l see the Samsung i9100 icon in the first screen , any idea way ?
Any idea what is the problem with the GPS ?
Many thanks ,
Ran
Thats It guys !!
I download the "GPS Status" application . I did --> tools-->Manage A-GPS state
Reset , and afterwards --> Download (to get GPS assistance from network).
Now the GPS is working , and everything is fix (with the official ICS ).
Thanks for all !!:laugh:
Excellent.
Actually you can change to the official "Orange - Israel" ICS if you want.
Where can I find the GPS Status app on PLAY ?

I can help, you will need to pull the stock recovery from your device then use some XDA user made tools to port your stock recovery into a custom recovery that will allow you to simply flash a root.zip to gain root access then use SP flash tool to upload it back to device. OR if nothing else try this, it has worked on a bunch of different phones.

Hi.....
U can just try spirit ROM from silesh..mostly u r baseband will come back...
Hi,
I am new to Samsung galaxy phones . I have used nexus series ,moto series but currently stuck with a galaxy s3 ( my sisters old phone ) .
Now it is a hong kong model .
AP : I9300ZSALED
CP : I9300XXLEF
CSC: I9300OZSALED
OS version : 4.0.4 (rooted)
Recovery : TWRP
Problem 1 :
Now if I flash any custom rom (Eg: cyanpop ) the rom boots up fine except it shows " insert sim card , sim card not found " even though there is a sim card present .
Problem 2 :
I downloaded the 4.3 version of the hong kong firmware
Product code : TGY
PDA : I9300ZSUBNB1
CSC : I9300OZSBNB1
from sammobile , file size around 1gb . Now , if I use odin to flash that firmware it gets stuck in " Nand write Start " .
Since i made a backup of the current rom via twrp , I flash the twrp via odin and then restore this current rom . Thus I am stuck in this current rom unable to upgrade .
Problem 3 :
I can try to upgrade via ota but I dont have a copy of the stock recovery . I have stired various links which are present here in xda but most of them are very old links and are broken . It will be really helpful if anyone can provide me a stock recovery copy .
Thanks again in advance .
Any help is appreciated.
