Well said mate
They need all the other countries to find all the bugs so sammy can fix them and give us a good rom.

Or nearer the truth, they take a nice backhander from the networks so they can say that it's better to get your new phone with a contract with us then spend your money on a sim free phone...!

If you're really that bothered you would have flashed another region. Or even flashed O2 LP3, Which, if you use Intratechs version is as good as Unbranded.
I gave up waiting and put the Poland LPS on yesterday, works fine and has the UK (XEU) and CPW UK (CPW) csc's in it anyway.
Does seem like they have poo pood the early adopters. Eaten bread is soon forgoton.

I must admit, I was wondering the same thing.
I've got stock 2.3.4 phone, don't want to root really, just want to update to ICS but everytime I check it's not there. I'm confused I must admit as I thought it was being rolled out.
you dont need a sim free version, theres nothing wrong with the current leaks.
just install one of those and your good to go.
why not to root it?
much easier to use anything on it.
even my manager when he saw my rom and soft i got inside he gave me the phone and said: 'do the same with mine'
I've even unlocked his phone and he is very happy
in case you can always come back to original
Has anyone else got this yet? The sim free UK ICS that is?
I don't get it, am I doing something wrong, everytime I check it says no update yet

Why are you posting this message on here, this has been discussed many times and this is XDA, why not just flash yourself a ICS rom they work perfectly fine.
Samsung have said that sim free will get it after all carriers have started to push it out and not all of them have.

I'm from Malaysia. My brother is using this phone but currently he is having custom ROM in it. He wants to revert it back to stock ROM. The problem is he and i couldn't remember what was the original PDA and CSC numbers. He bought the phone as soon as it started selling so this means it was 2.3.4 version. Anyone could help me? PLEASE!

Need My Original Kernel
Hi there, I am newbie here, actually i was wondering. I have tried many times browsing on googles but it seems that my hard work is being wasted. I root my samsung galaxy s2 GT-i1900G using odin v1.85 with GT-I9100G_DZKI1 inscure by odia..
the thing is, i want to root back to my original..meaning i want to unroot it..how can i unroot back?
i 1st was trying to find the original kernel which is I1900G_DZKJ2 (kernel version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2)
My plan was to find the original kernel and root it back as i did before so it would back to the original 1.
Is it what am i doing is correct?
p/s: I root using odin..how should i unroot back using odin and if what am i saying on top is correct, where can i get the original kernel for the specification given above?
Thx,
Newbie

Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore are all in the same region. Msia's CSC should be XME. So far the newest 2.3.6 firmware for asia is DXKL3 and only available for Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam.

Stupidly I never made a backup of my official ROM, and now I'm thinking I should try and get hold of one, in case the phone ever needs to go back.
Any ideas where I can find this specific ROM? I know that when I used to have HTD phones, the ROMs used to get leaked left right & centre, and you could get hold of any service provider ROM for any country quite easily.
I found one on samsungs firmware downloads.

Hi all,
I got so excited today to get the new ICS update. But as soon as it was done, I got this weird looping restart. I have no idea what is causing it. I tried to update and I tried the emergency update like it's mentioned in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731654
Can anyone help me? What am I doing wrong?
To make things worse, now I can't even connect to Kies!

Reread the post above yours. He put everything there FOR YOU. If the answer is not there it will be, ask THERE. Oh and spread the word it will help everyone else out too. Probly the most useful thread in AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717.
I was on that thread first and they were getting way off track. I wanted a solution to my problem, not an analysis of a black crush test, whatever that is.
Do we REALLY want ALL ICS posts on ONE thread? Imagine having all gingerbread posts on one thread. It makes no sense.
Pretty sure I had a similar problem to yours. It kept popping up a message "com.apple.phone won't launch" or something similar and would go in a bootloop.
Might've done it totally wrong but when I updated I still had CWM (so go flash CWM?) then wipe data wipe cache factory reset and everything should work.

Only thing that worked was this, full wipe and then it got better. Now it works great
The method in the second post of this thread worked great for me. I first tried installing the odin download and it would just boot to the samsung screen and stay there, so I did the emergency software recovery through Kies following the steps EXACTLY as given and had the upgrade loaded and running fine. 5 minutes later rooted and superuser installed. Sweet!:good:

I agree, too many conversations going at once
As opposed to every section being post after post after post after post of the same thing?
Just look how many threads there are of "do i need to unroot/flash to stock/sacrifice a goat at midnight to update to official ics?" already...
The rules of the forum state to find a related thread before opening a new one...
Good afternoon gentlemen.
I recently picked up a GS3 here in Thailand. Man I like this phone. I rooted it, have clockwork mod and Titanium backup. Been familiarizing myself with these and some other settings. Cant put it down lol.
I live 6 mos in Thailand and 6 mos in USA. I plan to bring this phone to America and use it there in summer. Any tips on that would be appreciated.
Model # is GT-I9300
Android Ver. 4.1.1
Kernel Ver. 3.0.31-288630
Been thinking of flashing a rom or two also. Are there ones that would work here in Thailand as well as the U.S.?
Will my version of Jellybean work in the us if I do nothing?
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, depends on the carrier. Check what US carrier supports your phone's frequencies, and you should be fine. T-Mobile should work
And don't create duplicate threads.

All of them.
I have galaxy s3 with a straight talk micro sim in it (the bring your own phone sim, cost 14.00 bucks). I bought a used GTI9100M s2 and re installed the stock rom because I wanted to remove the root from it. when I install my sim for my s3 with the adapter from mini to micro, it gives me the ENTER NETWORK UNLOCK CONTROL KEY BOX. I though the GTI9100 was unlocked as it is the international version. So why is it asking for a control key?
I just want to be able to use gti9100 for a backup phone in case my s3 breaks. can I switch the sim back and fourth like this?
Thank you for any advice.
You need to unlock it. Being the international version doesn't mean it's unlocked per se.

Also, can you or someone tell me if by doing this I'm unlocking the phone or the sim card itself? I don't want to cause a problem with my sim when I put it back in my S3, thaks
You can unlock it by searching the forum. There's a thread about this resolved yesterday at q&a.
And no, it won't affect your sim card at all, it will only unlock your phone.
