Hi,
I'm a newbie w/ android and I made the mistake to upgrade to the ICS version of Samsung note i717. Unfortunately, my experience with it has been quite poor due to the severe lags and hangups.
However, I have been unable to go back to the stock AT&T or Samsung version that the phone came with. I didnt save a backup of the original version. Is there any way to fix this?
I tried installing a ROM that some one made of the AT&T version earlier, but the phone would not boot after that (It would get stuck in the SAMSUNG screen at boot) and I had to re-install ICS to unbrick the phone.
Any help in this matter would be appreciated.
Thanks
Search or at least look in the development section where there is the Odin to stock AT&T GB

This is yet again another "Lack of Support" finding for a SGS2 phone, particularly the Model Phones that belong to the SHW-M250x family. I have an SHW-M250K model from Olleh KT of Korea, and due to its coding, it creates a boot-loop when trying to root with an GT-I9100 secure rooting kernel. I have tried using Odin, polled cyanogene, CF-Root, SuperOneClick; the lot seems to deal with only the International Variety coded GT-I9100.
The main differences that i have found is the language support, length of SMS messages, the use of an external antenna for a built-in TV tuner, and NFC support in the battery when paired with a USIM containing an NFC Ident. So Samsung blew up the SE Asia model with some nice features but unfortunately, not with the rooters/devs in mind.
My question is, is anyone currently working on SHW-M250x family rootkit? I'm about to go the route of starting to load Zipped ROMs to the SD card, because from reading on here, it seems like you do not need to obtain root access to be able to flash a rom, provided it is done in 3e mode from your properly formatted SD card. But if there is a root available to SHW-M250x family users, i would definitely be delighted to know.
Thanks,

Samsung Galaxy S II - SHW-M250K (Olleh) - Android ICS 4.0.3
Now, i did take a look at this thread (before i get flamed)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794
But noted that again, it quoted use with the I9100 variety and even says with MOST ICS phones.
TBH, both phones look darn near the same and it is hard to tell the difference unless you pull out the antenna. I will give it a shot when i get off work. But I'm still worried about whether my USIM got fried or something. Phone has picked it up ONCE since i upgraded to ICS stock. I wasn't rooted before.
Thanks,

Looks like the root from CWM that you install on a SDCard worked. I will log any issues as i dink around with my phone.
I know one already, after rooting, ICS 4.0.3 Airplane Mode Quick Button when you hold down the power button is good for turning it on, not for turning it off.
More to come.

Ok so after rooting SHW-M250K, tried flashing kernel with Siyah and got stopped at the Flash Screen. So Siyah (for now) does not work as a kernel. So far, root proves possible with at least this model. More to come.

So after a lot of trying and failing i decided to go back to gingerbread...however i have been under the impression that no one cared enough about the Korean version to capture the Stock rom for GGB 2.3.6.
LEAVE IT TO THE RUSSIANS.:laugh:
After tiring searching the googlenet, i found a site (in russian) that has the SHW-M250x family stock GGB roms.
I will not post the link yet, because i'm downloading the rom right now to try it out. Hopefully i do not have my hopes up for nothing.

Hi there. I currently bought a korean version ofthe s2, but it is not rooted yet.
Can you please show me the link, how you rooted your s2 shw-m250k?
I have also found a site that has the leaked jb ota update but one of the primary requirements is that I have to be on ics. My phone is still on gb. Please help thanks.
If I get a Galaxy S3 T-model (i900t), will I be able to root it and install the cyanogenmod custom ROM fine?
I want to also know if Optus would on the T-model (unlocked), and if there are any issues associated with doing this.
All I am basically asking is whether or not Optus would work fine with a rooted, custom ROM Galaxy S3?
Sorry if I missed anything, but I'm new to android and these forums
Hi guys,
I bought this device from a German online-shop. It's still on stock 2.3.6. Afaik this device is not rootable with superoneclick. I'd love to root it or flash a 4.+-rom, but do not know what roms and/or kernals are compatible. I do not even know if you consider this as a international or Korean device. It's 8GB and does have a physical home button. I use the DAB+-radio quite often and would absolutely not like to lose this option when flashing. Can anyone enlighten me on the options and pro/cons? Thanks in advance!

Go to the first link, follow the instructions there and if all goes well, you'll have a rooted Galaxy Player. Once done, you have to flash cm9 in your Galaxy player before upgrading to 4.3. Click the link, go to page 8, there's a step by step instruction that the ROM Dev wrote for someone who wants to go from 2.3.6 to 4++. And I'm not sure what's a DAB+ radio is but when I flash a custom ROM, the default radio is missing afterwards. Hope that helps.

Superoneclick does not work with firmwareversion 2.3.6. Losing digital radio is the main reason not to flash a firmware that doesn't support this. Is flashing a (rooted) kernal affecting usability?
So my tablet was orginally a samsung galaxy GT-P5113, however I rooted it and everything and now it's a 4.3 GT-P5110.
I rooted it because everyone said it would be better, however, how is limited access better? Did I do something wrong?
I can't download anything that has to do with samsung and I can't even download the samsung app store.
Can someone help me?

Rooting doesn't change your device name or information, it just let's you access your system files. Are you sure that the method you used to root your phone is designed for your specific device?
Galaxy Note 2 - rooted and customized leaked 4.3 stock
At&t Galaxy note 2 - rooted stock 4.1.2
Xperia Neo L - Bootloader unlocked, rooted and customized 4.0.4 stock.

Well, I rooted it and also updated the software. I think it was 4.1.1 or something I updated it to 4.3 nightly version.
When I updated it I made sure it was meant for my tablet but maybe I was wrong. It was my first time doing it.. so...
What should I do then? Is there a way I can turn it back into how it was before? and maybe update the system the correct way?
