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.

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!

Hey folks! I'm in dire need of the official stock ROM for the Huawei U8350 (Wind Mobile Version). If anyone has it or is able to somehow extract it from their own device, could you please post here or pm me???
I uninstalled the "Huawei IME" and 'original launcher' a few weeks ago.. i had forgot I did that and proceeded to do a factory reset today. Since it deleted my current launcher and all other apps and setting, I cannot access anything on my phone anymore. It is not rooted and don't plan on rooting it. If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated.
I'm sure I can figure something out for the launcher, but the main thing is the "Huawei IME"..
Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi
Were you able to find an image ?
I flashed the kenya and orange stock roms and lost the aws radio, now it will only register on Rogers network.
I did a cwm backup before i flashed, but even after the restore the radios still does not work..

same here, my aws radio is gone. My phone is rooted and I tried so many roms. Still am only connecting to rogers 2g network. Which is pointless because I can't make any calls. My only option is project sarah but I hate the on screen keyboard. There's just got to be a way to fix the radio on this thing...

Hi everybody,
First let me Say that I am French, so excuse me in advance for my bad english...
I acquired a Samsung S3 bought in South Korea, model: SHV-E21OL/Version Android 4.0.4, LTE (and therefore compatible 3G/4G)
Back in France, I have inserted my micro SIM card sfr Telecom, perfect: internet ultra fluid 3G, incoming / outgoing calls ok, everything works except for two points:
- When I send a text message, it is written "address unknown" as the sender of the message. A bit annoying when you do not know who writes ...
- Despite a reconfiguration with services sfr telecom, no way to send / receive MMS.
I tried with another SIM card, nothing happens. But my SIM cardworks well for SMS and MMS in another phone. Then it is therefore a bug of the phone ...
You know how to fix this?
Samsung customer service pointed me to a authorized service center, but they tell me that before flashing my phone, I must sign a waiver in case of crash the phone making its use impossible and non-repairable. No thank you ...
In short, you'll have understood I am a bit stuck, and looking for a way to fix this bug.
Do you have a solution, a board, info? updates posted by Samsung France can they solve the problem? a compatible custom Rom
I am completely new to this, I read the procedures to reconfigure my phone, but the words wipe, roaming, etc. This is perfect Korean for me! :laugh:
Thanks in advance to all who will be able to help me ! :good:
try changing your message center number . it could be the problem
I have the Korean 3g model but a lot of other people have the e210l (or k/s) in different countries. I have seen some talk about text message problems, read the posts and/or maybe somebody could help you out in the Korean model thread?

Go to p33k's link he gave.. dont panic, it's all cool lol
All you have to do is flash a custom ROM supported by Siyah and then flash the special kernel meant for your S3 which is located in p33k's link above

jay, you are not the only one. I am working for sam as their cust service officer and there is one Korean student bring to me and showed me this problem too. I am thinking that the only solution is to flash custom to it, because we took quite long trying to figure out what happens. Too bad I cant recommend this solution to the person. After you flashed, let me know whether it works. Thank you.

Hi guys. I got my Samsung Galaxy SII on a T-Mobile contract when it first came out. Unfortunately I got into a bit of a dispute with them and left, and am therefore unable to get my unlock code.
So I rooted my phone and unlocked it and the phone worked fine for a few months. Then all of a sudden I lost my signal EVERYWHERE.
So I tried messing around installing a few roms trying to get my phone's signal back. And may have possibly corrupted my EFS also.
I know (using various guides) how to get my EFS and everything back. However I have no idea which rom to choose.
My phone came from T-Mobile, but I am now on a Three contract. So which carrier do I select when getting the stock rom?
Also CSC? Modem? There are several variants of the stock rom it seems and I have no idea which one to pick!
Sorry if I have missed something, this is my first post. I scoured the website for a good 20mins and couldn't find anything that would help with my particular problem.
Info:
Current Network: 3
Country: UK
Phone: Galaxy S2 I9100
Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, just thought I'd update.
Luckily I remembered one of my family has the exact same phone that was on the same contract. So I typed in *#1234# and boom, I had the correct PDA, PHONE and CSC.
Thanks for the links also. Really helped
Dear All,
I have been facing an issue of slow gprs on my Samsung Galaxy S3 SHV-E210K due to edge network and HSDPA network not being shown while gprs is connected(instead, G and 3G are shown). The speed has dropped to as low as 1/6 of the original (which I get on my Nokia C5 phone).
I have a strong feeling that if I convert this korean version of Galaxy S3, I will be able to solve the problem. Please help me converting it completely to international version like Galaxy S3 I9305 because the configuration is exactly the same.
I dont know how to root, how to install custom rom, where can they be found. But a step by step guide will surely help me a great deal. I have heard that this is the best site for all the android forums. Please post the complete solution as soon as possible.

@kasingy: I was able to convert it successfully to i9300 using HD Revolution ROM for SHV -E210K but the problem of slow gprs persists. the data sign show G in place of E in INDIA. I think it is due to only 900Hz frequency available in this rom where as Indian phones support 850Hz for edge network..
I have tried flashing various modem.bin files for i9300 to it but didnt get signals.
What to do please help. Will be very very grateful to you!
One more thing, if you are able to solve this, many Indian customers of SHV-E210k could get relief!!
Is it posible?
Is converting to the international version even possible??
