Hey guys,
Longtime lurker, first time poster and all of that.
I am in possession of a brand new Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE (Korean model SHV-E120S).
I would love to help get custom ROMs and other things onto this device, and I'd be happy to dump my phone or provide system images... if I knew how to get them!
It seems Samsung does their mounts a little custom, as the ROM dumpers I've found don't work (missing a /proc/mtd). Can anyone point me towards how to get a dump of the .img or other files someone much smarter than I needs to get development off the ground? Even if devs don't pick it up, I'd like to get a dump of the files anyway for my own tinkering.
Appreciate any replies
hi brother l have the same device and l want the full firmware .I found the room but not the full firmware I need the PDA and pit files .go to the first section (galaxy s2 general) then go to (Korean galaxy s2 ....) on page 54 and 58 you find 3 links for the room
Yes, I saw that ROM posted before, though the tar appears broken.
What I am looking for is a tool or a guide for dumping the ROM myself. I have rooted the device (Zergrush v3) but not much else.
Sent from my SHV-E120S using XDA App
Hi.
I have the shv-120s and I also want a full firmware.
Love the phone. But I want swedish meny.
I think there's only English, Korean and a [custom?] Chinese ROM for the Galaxy S2 HD LTE (SHV-E120S) and LTE (SHV-E110L) phones.
If you want to update your firmware, try Samsung Kies software:
Code:
samsung.com/ca/support/mobilesoftwaremanual/mobilesoftwaremanual.do?page=MOBILE.SOFTWARE.MANUAL
So have any of you been able to use this phone in America? Are you using a custom or stock ROM? Korean or Chinese? When I try to use the phone here in Canada w/ Rogers or Fido, it won't connect to any HSPA/3G networks. Can anybody can help?

I am actually in Korea for the next year and change, so I can't vouch for it on Canadian networks. From what I know of the radio, it should work on Rogers GSM networks for 3G, but it won't get LTE/4G service there (different frequencies in Korea/North America). Are you sure your phone is unlocked?
I am running the stock Korean ROM 2.3.6, but I have rooted mine with zergRush.
Actually I should get 3G & LTE (because Rogers claims to use LTE 2600) but no HSPA+. It wont connect to the network. I suspect that it's possible that the ROM is keeping me from connecting since it's asking me if I want to use Network data outside of South Korea. I suspect the ROM wont connect to foreign data bands. I was just wondering if there was any way to try another ROM...
Hi all,
Last month I had just bought Galaxy S2 HD LTE (SHV-E120S) in Korea and bring it back to use in Malaysia.
Everything is working fine except for SMS.
I am able to send and receive SMS by using the default SMS program. But i can't send out SMS if i use third-party SMS program i.e. GoSms, Handcent SMS.
My phone is not rooted. Details as below:
Firmware version: 2.3.6
Baseband version: SHV-E120S.EL21.0917.ST
Kernel version: 2.6.355.11-E120S.EL27.1737-CL776986
Build number: GINERBREAD.EL27
Somemore, when i tried to restore the SMS backup from my old phone (I9100) to this SHV-E120S, using GoSms, "SMS to Text", "Backup to Gmail" etc, all the old SMS didn't go into default SMS program, instead, it showed only in GoSms or Handcent SMS.
I'd already done the factory reset but the problem still exists.
Do you guys have any idea on this issue?
Appreciate any help from you. Thanks.
Hi guys I am having the same problem, SHV E120s, test messages with GO SMS pro worked initially, but now i am unable to send regular sized SMS.
Just wondering if anyone has figured out how to fix this, or what the issue is
Thanks!
Hi Guys,
I live in China and I want to send a SGS3 i9300 to my son in Canada(for Xmas). Before I send it I will root it and I would like to flash a custom ROM.
Up till now any ROM that I've flashed worked here(in China) no problems. But I'm not familiar with the Canadian network.
So I'm wondering if..
-Will any ROM work?
-Does it matter if he is on At&t or Verizon or Rogers etc..?
-Do I need to change the modem?
As you see, I'm asking myself a lot of questions(maybe for nothing). If anyone can give me some infos about that would be very appreciated.

I use a S3 in Canada (i9300). It will work without any problems on Rogers, Fido, Bell, Virgin Mobile, Telus and Koodo. HSPA frequencies are compatible.

Ok cool, that's what I thought but since it's a Xmas gift and it's far I wanted to make sure.
Thanks
searched the forums but cant find anything specific to my problem which is:
Starting from fresh stock 2.3.6. gingerbread ROM (with no network problems), I installed Touchwiz_Res_V10 from link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358404
Although every aspect of this ROM works fine there is one problem- my S5830i cant get registered onto my UK network. It sees my network provider (EE) and a bunch of others, but if i manually try and join the EE network (because it doesnt auto join ANY networks) it says I am not allowed/authorised to join the EE network.
If i revert back to the stock 2.3.6 it finds my EE network and joins it automatically without me having to specifiy it, easy as pie.
The IMEI is fine. Baseband is quoted as S5830iXXLA2 on both installs
Are there any known problems with the V10 that interferes with network connectivity that anyone is aware of.
Anyone know how to fix?
many thx

Hi, I bought an ATT Unlocked D800 LG G2. I am using it on the MetroPCS network and all features work. I have 4G LTE working well. I dont want the ATT Firmware on it. Is there a way I can install the MetroPCS Firmware on it? or Tmobile Firmware? I want to do this so I ca get the WiFi calling feature and other MetroPCS apps that are not on the ATT Firmware.
I have the LG flash tool installed but when I try to flash my G2 D800 with the Tmobile D801 Firmware it gives me an error. Ive been reading everywhere but cant find an answer. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks G..

Sorry to ask but, how did you manage to get 4G LTE from Metro on your D800? I am about to purchase an unlocked secondhand one but I want to make sure I will get 4G speeds with my current plan ($40 Most Affordable).
I updated to Lollipop some time ago and my data hasn't been working at all... I currently own the C6806 variant on Bell Canada. I first started off by flashing the US one featured herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z-ultra/development/lollipop-5-0-2-c6806-14-5-0-242-rooted-t3082449 but the data didn't seem to work at all, even when turned on before restoring using Bridge after finding out there was an update for the Bell Canada variant thinking that the Bell Canada variant of Lollipop would work with my phone while providing me with data. I was wrong... Could you please help?
