Hi,
I'm using a i9305 (t-mobile version) in belgium. I'm having 4G troubles (incomming calls not noticed on device while callers hears phone ringing). Is there any way of converting this phone to an international version (without the t-mobile bloatware)? I'm not interested (yet) in other ROMS's just the samsung int version. And I'm not interested in a discussion on why I want to stick to the samgsung version
kind regards
Arne
This forum is for the T999 not the I9305, that is considered the International version even though it is TMo branded. Check the I9300/I9305 forums for information on those.

This forum is for the T-Mobile USA Device SGH-T999 and not i9305. So your best bet is to post in that forum. T-Mobile USA does not issue i9305.
However, I do believe, your issue can be resolved by flashing a different modem.

Hello!
My wife has a rooted GS 2 with the stock ROM from TMO. I am concerned that the new OTA (T989VUVKL1)might break her root functionality, repeated update notification, or cause her phone to no longer work. Does anyone know the app I need to freeze to stop the OTA from happening? At some point I will want to upgrade the ROM to the newest one assuming I can keep root access. Thank you for all your help and support!
click SETTINGS/ABOUT PHONE/SOFTWARE UPDATE and uncheck the boxes
Thank you for the quick reply. I don't see that option. After I click on "about phone" there are no such options....
I think I found it... I believe the APK is syncmldm.apk. I will test tonight.

You really should be in a different forum. Your wife's phone is a SGH-T989, which is the T-Mobile branded version of the GS2. The forum we're in now is for the GT-I9100, which is the unbranded international version of the GS2. Same phone in name (Galaxy S2) only. Different phones = slight differences in UI/options.
The forum for the T-Mobile GS2 is here.

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!
Hi Guys,
Just wondering if Galaxy S 2 international version ROM compatible with Tmobile G S2?
The Tmobile's S2 custom ROMs sucks and wondering if I can flash one of these ROMs if possible.
thank you
We need your phone type (i9ooo, etc.) to be able to answer this question.
Need. Moar. Info.
He's talking about the T-Mobile USA T989 as far as I can tell.
You have your own forum for that device because it has nothing in common with the Galaxy S II (despite the name, it isn't really a GS2...)
If you flash anything from the I9100 or I777 forums on a T989, YOU WILL HARDBRICK.
The only device outside of the I9100 forums that can run I9100 firmwares is the AT&T variant (SGH-I777). (Even that requires some work.)

Okay thanks guys.
Hi Guys,
Brand new Galaxy S3 user here and I've just Rooted my phone and I'm searching around on which ROM to flash. Only issue is that I have no idea which version I need in terms of ROM. I know when rooting my phone I followed a different guideline and I don't want to fubar up my phone. I'm with Rogers and I know I followed a US/Canadian guide...
When looking on the get.cm website I saw this
d2usc
Samsung Galaxy S III (US Cell)
which seems to be the closest thing to me but I just want to be sure.
Thanks,
This is International I9300 forum flashing firmware from here may brick another model .

What is the exact model number of your phone? (can be found in settings->about device)
SGH-I747M
I've found the SlimBean ROM for my phone but even that took a while to hunt down.
I tried searching on get.cm but I've found that it never actually gives me my provider (Rogers).

So here is the right forum for your phone
You, kind sir, are a god among men.
I have no idea how I didn't see that before.
Hello everyone,
I'd like to find out, if you can help me, the following information about my Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 GT-I9205:
I am from Brazil and I have recently bought this phone in the UK on a business trip at Heathrow Airport. It was not a carrier shop, just a regular electronics shop. The phone is unlocked and working normally with my Brazilian carrier.
My questions are:
a) With the recent releases of KiKat 4.4.2 in Russia and USA for the Galaxy Mega, is there a way for me to find out (through IMEI or model number) if my phone is associated with a carrier? There was no information about it when I bought it and I just wonder if the release of KiKat for my device will depend upon this associated carrier (if there is one) for me to have it.
b) My version of the Galaxy Mega is the LTE version (GT-I9205) as opposed to the other international version (GT-I9200) and also different model number from the American one. I was thunking about trying one of the custom ROMs for the Mega but, as far as I know, the KitKat update is only related to the GT-I9200 model. Would that pose any problems if I tried to use a ROM on a different device model?
Thanks for your help!
Hi if you brought it unlocked in UK I prrseume from Dixon's travel or similar then its not associated with any carrier at all. If you flashed a ROM for the i9200 on the i9205 you would loose LTE. If you are on stock ROM you could just flash the latest from Sammy mobile be mindful of Samsung Knox. Otherwise you could flash a custom rom . I have to say for this phone and its lack of memory I moved to resurrection remix which is feature full stable and fast.

Thanks for the reply! I figured the phone was unbranded and yes, I did buy it at Dixon's Travel!
The only thing I wonder now is we have seen all these carriers releasing KitKat for the Mega, how will it reach unbranded phones - will it take longer or Samsung will release accordingly with the carriers? Just a general wondering.
