(HDC a9100 is a chinese good quality replica of SGS2 with double 3G sim standby)
If there is a way to make HDC a9100 running any CyanogenMod version, write it here, or if there is already one for that phone
I have been browsing for 3hrs and not found anything yet -.-
It actually already runs CM7 but the items giving acces to the settings and the details have been removed in the most china phones, the only one I know having CM7 settings and all still showing is the Z710 ^^
I'll by trying to get Cm7 fully in original state once my phone arrives
*been using mtk6516 before
thanks for answer, it helped
Did you have any luck with this? I can't find any one who has confirmed a custom rom can be succesfully flashed on. I want all the chinese gone from mine...
I will keep posting over here: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/37450-samsung-galaxy-s2-hdc-a9100-chinese-mtk6573/
And you can root it (see my last comment there), then you can just remove those apps with root explorer.
And the rom it's running is CM7 but it has been quite customized and some apps have been removed, I will be looking into those things.
When I've got everything back to normal CM7 I will relase a update.zip which will remove the chinese apps and restore CM7 to it's original state ^^
Switching it to English made about 90% go English, but about 10% of settings menus still in Chinese. How you you deal with that? I havent used CM7 in about 5 months, so I cant remeber exactly where everything is, plus some has been rearanged.... I will check out your posts at CMforum too.
I will manually translate the remaning chinese parts of the software and create a patch ^^
Also I suggest to install the latest 2.3.4 of the forums link I've given above, installing 2.3.5 is experimental so use with caution.
Also I'm trying atm to get the original CM menu back as it was normally with more options and ofc the themepicker is something I'm working on for sure
Thank you for all of your answers! im really excited about ur idea seahorse!!
Hi there,
I'm just curious if it's also possible to flash to the newer CM9 ?
the phone just come to my attention lately, it looks pretty decent KIRF LOL
and pretty cheap

ahhh thank you i searched for a similar thread but i guess it didnt show up cuz it says asian in the title instead of china
not trying to bump that other thread but the only thing that really tells me is that I'm probably SOL.
so my NEW question is. any possible way I could go about implementing the modem driver from the GT-i9308 into the GT-i9300 rom so I get the google play and full english capabilities without the bloatware in addition to the phone still working?
I'll take that as a no then?

You can root your phone just do not change the modem otherwise your phone will not work. There are several chinese forums (use chrome to translate) that have very easy instructions for rooting which will allow google play to be installed.
Same boat
I am in China and found myself in the same boat..... i hosed my system after mucking about with it ... first android phone ... i am presently putting together all the links and things i did to get mine de china mobilized and google working .. rooted and a custom ROM or two that work... i have a newer hardware version then most people ... most have hardware version 5.0 ... i have 6.0 .... first attempt at rooting was fine... after that i added a rom... backed up and used the same modem firmware .... phone would not get past the start up screen... but thank god i could still put into recovery mode and get back to the firmware screen.. so i knew it could be saved... so i went through the Chinese forums ... no one had the latest hardware version ... but a release of the "official samsung rom" was the reason my phone was the way it was .... so i found another "Official" rom .... as it turned out it put my phone back into a working order ... the other thing is i am using OSX .... i had to muck about with different version of various pieces of software to get it all done... like i said i am throwing together all the links and everything i did to get mine going ... many of these links will require some authentication to Chinese sites .. weibo qq etc ...
I will try to re share the software i have downloaded ..but i am not maintaining them so not sure how good an idea this is...but the links will help the other "whites" as the chinese describe us foreigners in their forums "so easy a white can do it" after translation....
I just wanted to thank those on XDA with their posts ..... they did help, with information that got me going in the right direction.... this is my first Android since a Telus Fascinate .. which i gave to one of my programers/friends on my architecture team to root... other then that a iphone user ... hard to really brick one of these phones if you do the common sense back ups and such...
Once again thank you... i will have a full break down of my adventure in a day or two.... back to my work.
Cheers
some instructions feel free to contact me i will try and help
I have a i9308 and any of the newer release of the "official firmware' messed up my start up and made it loop...
I installed this using Heimdall skipped the bootloader as it seems to fail in both odin and Heimdall on hardware build 6.00
I found the newest official rom bbs dot anzhi dot com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=6344702 ... sorry not enough posts to send out side links ... i under stand.
everything else worked fine.... after this and i was able to back and do the usual install of CWM ..... which failed using Heimdall ... again on the bootloader .... so using Odin it worked ... i used virtual box and Windows 7 ... with the latest Samsung drivers ....i had to create a specific interface for the Samsung in virtual box so the i9308 would mount with out conflict in windows .... i was then able to install CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 ...
Once rooted i started looking for a way to install google play and all the google services.
i installed this ROM anzhi_karben_samsung_i9308_V1.0 which had the google drivers i needed and was not full of to much other crap and worked well in english ... i found this here bbs dot anzhi dot com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=6198323 i used my Wiebo account to do this and was then able to download.
I got the google pack ..... well one that worked and after i checked everything did not have any malicious scripts that i could find ... bbs dot anzhi dot com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=5401203 ... the zip file was gapps-ics-20120429-signed-4.0.4
i hope this helps some people Heimdall took a little after i figured out how to do this.... it was easy ... i have wiped it out a few times i nthe last week and tried different ROMs from the various Chinese boards ...some made very odd requests for SU access here and there ...i generally removed them after trying to find the offending script .... as i said so far the ones i am using have been pretty safe with little to no issues. I did go in and remove a lot of the preloaded China Mobile wares ...so far the phone is great ... i do fid the wifi signal sucks....
My first android i rooted myself ...see what happens after a drunk night in a taxi in Beijing and you lose your iPhone.... having fun.
S2 GT-I9308 Unlock
Hello
Someone gave me an I9308
I'm trying to use it with my French Sim Card. So i need to be able to unlock it.
I've been able to root and install custom firmware as described above.
I've tried to use GalaxySim Unlock application, but it says "Device not recognized"
I've tried to use the "trick" to unlock, but , the current firmware official version on the I9308 is 4.0.4, and with this version, "Network Unlock" is not working.
In order to try the trich with proper version :
I've tried to install 4.1.1 version for I9300, but it fails with modem
I've tried to install 4.1.1 version with modem.img from 4.0.4, it works but the phone is no more booting, it locks at "samsung" logo and vibrate one time pause one seconds, vibrates three times pause one seconds and again.
So two questions :
How to install a newer versions of android when no offcial version have yet been released ?
How to unlock the I9308 with 4.0.4 in it ?
Thanks.
It is the modem drivers that are the problem. China Mobile has not released a official upgrade yet. But I left instructions for rooting in my previous post.

old post late reply, i know but nvm that, anyway if anyone is still interested in this, here i have the right solution. recently i have been collecting some old Samsung phones, i managed to get hold of a Chinese 9308, as u know, all i9300 roms/twrp work on 9308, but can't detect SIM card/mobile network, however i found one version of the MIUI6 roms, so far so good, everything appear to work perfectly, has all languages, Google play services & framework most importantly, 3G works fine too. i will shortly provide links to the downloads.
Would you like please send the link for this MIUI ?

the problem is, i still have to upload them somewhere 1st, as one of the original links is no longer working and although the other one still is (there were two of them), but it was on baidu cloud, both, u need a baidu account to be able to dl stuff, i clearly remember i couldnt download them myself, and i wasnt able to create a baidu account either, but luckily i found someone who could & did download them for me and sent those files to me afterwards, so now we have to work out a way 4 me 2 send those files from my PC to other users out there.

I was wondering if there might be a forum/development for this model of S3. Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Has that model the same specs as the SC-06D from docomo? If yes, try that rooting method.
Edit:
Just checked it! Should be the same phone. all specs are the same.
So try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895737
It should work.
But if not, dont blame me!

Hey, important information. Don't try to use a manual intended for docomo phone (Galaxy S III SD-06). I tried it and now my phone is bricked.
If you explore any rooting method, please send me an email ....
Oh. Okay. Thanks for the info! I thought it would work because the phones are identical!!!!
Send from my C64 using load " Tapatalk ", 8,1 and run!

I'm having the same issue. with the AU SCL21. I did find that you can flash with the team epic CWM recovery method. or the Mskip toolkit method.
(i would have provide links. but I have to adhere to the policy here). feel free to msg me.
Once I flash, however it won't boot into recovery. the SGSIII logo appears upside down, and just hangs. Sometimes, it will boot into normal mode after it hangs a bit. but it's never booted into recovery. I've flashed 23 times now, and used several good micro usb cables. If anybody could help with this, Man i'd be so happy.
Messaging App missing?
Would you happen to know where the native android messaging application is on this device? I'm running 4.0.4 on the SLC21 and I ONLY have the AU SMS service (which makes me want to die a little inside). I've tried using secondary messaging services but they all work off of the database from the native android "Messaging" app. My phone does not have that application apparently and I can't seem to find it anywhere. My Kanji is non-existent so if they hid it somewhere and are calling it something else I can't find it. Any ideas? I want my SMS's to migrate to a different messaging service because I'm texting US numbers as well through TextPlus.

Dunno if you ever found a solution to this, but in case you haven't then it's your lucky day. Not however that neither of these lets to text US numbers for free.
You can't "migrate" your SMS to a different service, but you can access them with a different app. I found out today that if you are a Facebook user then Facebook Messenger works for both FB Chat and SMS. Download the program, login, then getting into the apps settings and turn on SMS texting. It will capture your texts and thread them into a conversation.
If you happen to not use Facebook for whatever reason, then Go SMS Pro also does a fine job. Whichever method you choose, make sure to disable the AU SMS in the Application Management section of the phones settings so that you don't get dual notifications. Hope that helps.
Are you able to do the unlocking

I am not sure if you have found a way to root your phone or not, but I just recently got to Japan and got the exact same phone. I found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DouktjBrS5w on youtube on how to root it. I used that method, it took a couple of tries, because it was my first root, but it works. I hope this helps
Hello all,
a friend of mine bought a Huawei G610T in China and now came back to Europe and has the problem, that the phone doesn't have the google apps installed. I tried to find the phone in the forums but it is not listed (or I was too stupid to find it). Does this phone have an equal device, which is listed in the forums? Or can you guys forward me to some threads were a similar problem is described? I googled and searched the forum already but haven't found any useful posts till now. As far as I know, first the bootloader has to be unlocked (is there a general tool maybe for huawei phones?). After that I would need a custom bootloader (unfortunately neither CWM nor TWRP had the device listed) and then just flash the gapps.
Maybe I could also do it with adb if i can get into the fast boot? Also my friend said, that he has some problems with some european apps on the system (regional apps usually (Austrian apps in specific )). So the best thing would be if there is a custom rom available for the device. Unfortunately there is no cyanogenmod. I found a MIUI port, but that was only one specific thread and the link was broken. So maybe there are any other alternatives?
Thanks for the help in advance!
This is my first post and am completely new to smart phones, and have got out of my depth. I bought a new Samsung S2 i9100 from China about 6 months ago. The GPS stopped working (something I discover from another thread here, is not uncommon), and I tried to update the firmware using Odin.
This failed and the phone is now soft bricked as I understand it, as I learnt from another thread here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/how-to-replace-chinese-firmware-t1192575 ) that Chinese Samsung phones cannot be flashed with European firmware.
I have looked on samsung.com and Sammobile and the original firmware is not listed anywhere (I9100ZCKG4). I have tried installing, using Odin, CWM Recovery and the stock firmware listed on samsung.com for China, but both fail.
I have read the thread on this site on this issue and following suggestions from here this takes via Chinese sites http://bbs.gfan.com/android-2099143-1-1.html and then I eventually end up at http://bbs.gfan.com/android-4920184-1-1.html where I think there is a link to the firmware I9100ZCKG4. The link takes me to http://115.com/5lb/ and Google translate is unable to make any sense of this page, and I cannot get any further.
The other problem is that I think I enabled USB debugging before starting ,but now cannot be sure.
Maybe I have learnt and expensive lesson, but any help would be most welcome, especially if expressed in terms a beginner is likely to understand
thanks
ian
