Spent the last 2 hours reading through all the posts and searching Google in regards to finding an extended battery, 1800mah or 2000mah that fits with the stock cover and works with our NFC chip.
All the posts on here are a few weeks to a few months old, so I was wondering if anyone has found the hidden gem? I know about the Korean version with the case mod, but I enjoy the OEM case with the "Galaxy S II" logo on the back. But if push comes to shove and there are no other options, I will go with the Korean one.
So, anyone want to help out?
Korean one is your best bet as I have looked at all the aftermarket extended batteries which do not have NFC in them.
NFC is in the battery not the phone.
But I am also interested in a good, confirmed, extended battery that will fit like stock.

The NFC chip is in the phone and is allowed to be used by a "NFC ready" battery.

It's all good, still figuring the whole thing out myself.

I bought the 2000mah euro version for its cover and i bought the 2000 mah Korean version for the battery. Waiting for them 2 arrive. Then i need 2 sell the euro version battery.

So, can the 2000mah Korean version cover be dremeled down to snap onto the i777 properly?
I'm a little confused, why not get the battery and use the stock cover?

Probably can but i don't have a dremel, that's why i bought the euro version 2000mah kit, it supposedly snaps right on.

Got the Korean version, dremeled the Korean cover to fit on, and then went ahead and bought a SGP Linear case. Looks amazing.

Awesome!
1. Can I get a link to your seller? I have found that a lot of them can't confirm their batteries have NFC capabilities (I'm assuming yours did).
2. How did the case fit after modding?
3. With the sgp case, do you just have to leave off the battery cover section so that it ends up being something like a bumper?
Thanks!

Yes they did, the case fit pretty well - as if it came factory, and nope, the case fits over the battery and the battery cover.
I will post some pictures and maybe a little tutorial and all that when I get home next weekend.
I bought it from here though.

i think the model # from the link is incorrect. "...STD" version is the international non-nfc version. the korean (nfc) is either "...BSG" or "...BEG".

Might be the page which is incorrect, because my battery model number is: EB-K1A2EBSG.
On the site it also says "The EB-K1A2EBSG is the Korean version of the EB-K1A2EBEGSTD. The battery is an NFC version and will fit any Samsung Galaxy S2. However, the back plate is incompatible, and only fits the Korean Galaxy S 2."
Thanks for the link! I'm assuming the site's reputable right? Mind if I ask what shipping method you chose and how long it took? Thanks for all your help!
(P.S. Saw you were from California, my wife and I are heading to wedding in LA. Hoping for nice weather!)

Pretty reputable, it's a French company and being from France I trusted it. I know my cousin who lives in France uses it a lot.
I used standard international shipping and it took about 8 days from being marked as "shipped" to arrive to me in California.
Weather has been pretty nice, not that much rain, spent a few days in LA with my family who lives there, but I'm in France now visiting the other side of my family!
So wait, the battery COVER* you purchased off of ExportPrive didn't need any sort of modification to snap into an i777? I'm a little confused! haha. I'm excited to pick one up! Also by 'Euro' version of SGSII, do you mean the standard/stock i9100 cover? I can just pick up a nice looking aftermarket i9100 case and it'll accommodate the larger battery? Thanks again.
Hello all! I was wondering if anyone had any clue where batteries compatible with this device are available? My device got wet and won't turn on, out of curiosity I swapped out the battery inside with a friend's and it booted right up!
I already tried Samsung's customer service and because it's not covered by warranty it'll cost me $40 plus the cost of the replacement battery ($51) Also the battery is on back order.
I really don't want to pay half the cost of a new player just to mine working again.
Thank you for your time.

Hmm... since these batteries are not supposed to be user serviceable, I am not sure what other choice you would have. Maybe ask around here and see if anyone has a busted player for cleap.
Good luck.

Yes it says i9100 but it works for the i777. I just bought from that link and replaced it my I777 with basically the same problem you have. Problem was solved (see "usb won't connect" thread in Q&A).
There's a YouTube video showing how to replace it on the i9100, which I followed and is extremely similar to the i777.

I must add, that you should really evaluate yourself, and decide if you have the skills to do it. It can damage your phone permanently if you don't do it the right way.

100% positive. I promise I just used it in my I777 about a week ago. Heck, if you want to save cash I can install it for free for you. Just PM me if so.

at the risk of necromancing.... if anyone should stumble upon this looking for help like I did, through google. When you open your i777 up, the port board in your i777 says i9100, so yes the above listed item would work.

I'll +1 that. That said, I replaced my port and it still won't charge! Any ides on what else might fix it? I suppose I could have gotten a bad replacement.

Did not try that one. There is one on amazon that some one said in the comments worked with the i777 but I could not get it to work. Also, on ebay, one from ipartsdepot1 did not work. I also contacted several other sellers that said their's would not work. Hope this helps. -- Bud

Does this require soldering to install? Are there any instructions available? Thank you.
Edit: I found a video here which I think should help.
Won't charge?
Like rushaan stated that you should think before you go any further, if your battery will not charge it could be more of an issue than a charger. For the last week I have been trying to boot mine and only get one of 2 messages, The Samsung boot image, and I have done all most everything I have read in our forums. The last run, I had been re-installing some apps, after a ROM change,all was going great ,then a message came up Stating that "due to the battery heating up,it was shutting down the charger" so, of course battery was drained and con not get the freakin' phone to do anything but show the "SAMSUNG" boot animation.. NOW, since then I can not get it to boot, esp. into CWM recovery. I am still reading to see what file/image that I maybe able to use while utilizing ODIN. So,with that being said look a bit more in-depth before you think you have the correct solution.
Anyone can link me a website that sells spare parts for the SII?
Normally I'd buy spare parts at www.cnn.cn, but they don't have anything for the SII anymore.
I prefer not to use Ebay for spare parts.

i think the one he has is a pre-made one, he bought it like that, I just made one using 3x100kOhms and 1x1kOhm. Didn't worked tho, maybe the usb cord I found collecting dust in the drawer is broken, will try with another cord.

This was a pre-made one but if I Remer correct it's a 100k resistor contacted to pin 3 and 5.
