[Q]Stock ICS roms and languages - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
As you can see here, there is unfortunately no ICS stock on sammobile.com for the french version.
However, there is one for UK version (and others). Obviously those versions have multiple languages, including mine.
So do you know why there are localized versions ? Are they mandatory ? (or could i simply take one from a neighboor country?)
Thanks all

You can surely flash UK version or Italian as well and when Installing choose Your own language.
I'm from Finland and my rom is originally Italian, no problems with language issue.

Try samsung-updates com
samsung-updates com has many Stock ROMS from various countries, which you can filter by device type. Unfortunately, I have been unable to download any from there since yesterday, as the download fails after a couple of hours.
If you can select the language you want using any country's ROM then I guess the country code just affects Samsungs OTA rollouts and which extra Apps come pre-installed and how they are configured.
Edit: I just installed the USA 4.04 Rom (XAB) on my Canadian (XAC) Tab. Since my Samsung account is registered to a Canadian Tab, Samsung Apps gives me an error if I try to sign in there, but otherwise it works. I'll put the XAC Rom on when I finally manage to download it.

Can any moderator please move this topic to that forum please. My mistake
Reported :/
How is it new though? KPT exists since some weeks if I'm not mistaken. And why does it say 2.3.4 when it's actually 2.3.3?
Its the CSC version I guess, but its from S5830XWKPT, which is 2.3.4.
Anyone using this version?
It say Europa but anyone know what languages it is? Swedish? Is it really official or leaked?

OK I see and for what zone is this one?
I still dont know how to read the lettercodes.....making no sense to me even after reading at samfirmware...
I answer it myself..........installed it and it was polish as first language after boot.
XEOKP2 - The XEO is assigned to Poland.
[STOCK] [EUR] S5830XEOKP2 - 2.3.4 official is fake
I tried it.
It is not 2.3.4, just 2.3.3.
It is however a nice release, and got rid of the operator's restriction for me.
It is a European multi language release.
It is working fine so far. The only thing to comment about it is that it comes with a couple of polish apps that are in polish (TV, etc...) But they can be removed installing some tools.

[Q] Which firmware to install?

Hi everyone, I am new here. I just returned i9100g for a i9100. Anyways as I look for the i9100 firmware at sammobile.com, there are tons of ICS available. Which one will I install?
Also I am in Bangladesh, however we get mixed region phones: Sometimes from Malaysia, Singapore, France, etc. How do I know which region I have, so it can guide to install the proper ICS.
I installed XXLPJ, everything works well, however I noticed that just like my initial i9100g, whenever I use the voice to setup alarm, it doesn't work. I fixed this problem when I installed the proper region firmware for my phone, which was French at that time. The problem is I don't know which region of the phone this actually is.
Any idea?
Thank you
I dont think different regional firmwares will make any difference in your alarm settings too...
you can check the firmware information by dailing *#1234#
ROM selection
you can have a look for the language supported by that rom, you can also go for custom rom, language information was given there that it support these many language.
Also i am agree with "zaheedahmed" that "regional firmwares will make any difference in your alarm settings" i guess this the bug with that version of ROM, so it better to upgrade your ROM.
Thanks for your responses. What do I need to look after after for the latest firmware, android version? Cause there are tons of 4.0.3

How to add language file to stock ROM

Hello Forum ,
I have a bell i9100m phone however it comes with English/French/Koearn only, how to add another language to the stock ROM (currently it's 4. 0.3) ? or I have flash it to a different ROM ? thanks for your help .
Try "MoreLocale 2" or "Set Locale and Language" from Google Play.
Hi!
you can try: Settings - Language and keyboard - Android Keyboard - Input Languages (select as many as you want)
This link might also help you out: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/963340/how-to-add-an-extra-language-input-to-android]
if everything above does not work, install MoreLocal 2
hope this helps!
cheers
thanks guys/gals for the reply , morelocale2 kind of worked however the translation seems not complete, anyway, I guess this is the only way to add menu language without flashing another ROM .
BTW, is it possible to flash another official ROM for different area to this phone ? I have i9100m from bell Canada, if I'd like flash Samsung SII RoM for hongkong will that cause any issue ?
Idk about i9100m, but if you were on international version, you can flash right away
But relatively, you can see your phone here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193695
Hope this helps!

[Q] Country mismatch? And Stock ROM?

Hi. This is my first time on the xda developers forum. I previously browsed it to root my GT-P7500 tablet and it worked. Now I have a problem (not with the root)
The ICS update is NOT arriving to my country (I bought it from UAE) and I am stuck on Honeycomb, so I thought about flashing a stock ICS ROM. However, The available stock ROMs are for other countries and the Build number does not match the other ROMs I found on samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com. So is it OK to flash a ROM released for a different country? A good note I should leave is that the tablet is UNLOCKED when I bought it. Also, most of the files from samsung-updates and sammobile are bad (due to poor hosting sites) when I download them, and because I live in Egypt and the internet pretty sucks (1Mbps) it usually takes 4-8 hours to download a single file and in the end it turn out to be corrupted usually due to network error from the hosting site's end. if anyone has a stock ICS ROM for my Galaxy Tab GT-P7500 on hosting sites like mediafire or MEGA please post me the download link, though this is not my main concern at the moment.
Thanks

Samsung Gear S Stuck at startup with Chinese

I just got this Samsung Gear S as a present and its all in Chinese. I tried doing everything but nowehere it lets me go to settings so I can change the language. at power up it shows Sky Telecom logo so probably locked or something. Never used any such device before so no idea! Posting the screenshots. Please help!
Thanks.
That is not Chinese. Gear S is not made in China.
That device should be an international version or Korean Telecom which is SKT, or KT.
That's why the default language is currently Korean.
Thanks..but is there anyway to get around it change the language?
It should change the language if you pair it to the phone. Otherwise you can maybe flash a different fw through Odin. Just make sure you have the model number right. I changed mine from German to danish this way.

I am hoping for a little help finding the correct file to flash the Gear S with.
I also have a watch which came from Ebay which has turned out to be a SM-R750S (Korean Telecom which is SKT) I would like to put the UK firmware on it.
Currently the firmware is - R750XXU2BOG2 - this is from the watches info
I have tried - 2.2.1.4 R750XXU1BOC1_R750OXA1BOC1_BTU
- 2.2.1.3 R750XXU1BNJA_R750OXA1BNJA_BTU
both result in an error " Sw Rev Check failed fused 2 > binary 1"
This is from the Sammobile site and appears to be what is currently on the phone. R750XXU2BOG2_R750OKA2BOG2_SKC
any help would be great
I would like to know (with a link if possible) which Firmware I can use.
I am assuming this error maybe related to boot loader versions and such ??
