Dear all

Q2: I know that bootloader is closed till now, and I want to install the Official Arabic rom on my phone, Can I do that ? The rom is on line and people used it for Middle east phones as update not as flash (since bootloader is closed), so can i update the USA tmobile 4g phone with middle east rom?

No you can't. I don't know why you got this version when you was able to get middle eastern version.

Tmobile version is cheaper than the International version. At least on EBay they run cheaper.

morelocale 2 may add some lanuage interface including Arabic, but it WILL NOT solve issues inherent to languages written from right-to-left like Arabic and Hebrew.
Text will not align to the right and numeral will be displayed backwards.
Some applications, but not all, will also be displayed backwards (mirror image)
HTC has a dedicated version to overcome these issues: 1.xx.415.x

How to change from european to firmware with chinese input

Hi,
i've got a sensation with a t-mobile rom.
I didnt update to the last android version. I would like to update to a rom where i can use chinese input, but can use android market as well.
I know the stock firmware in china doesnt include android market for license reason or something.
Or do i have to use some custom mod?

followed this guide and installed the asia RUU

Hello Guys

He is looking for the international version of the fxz for the ME865, not the Chineese, or US AT&T version.... he flashed our ROM and now his SIM is AT&T locked....

First question, do you have the MB865(American version) or ME865(Chinese version)?
NVM reread it and seen Jim's post

do we even have an international fxz? if we do does it work on our phone?

Originally the phone i took it with the ME865 Asian version probably because Chinese was not the main language when i start the phone.
after i mess up with the phone and i was not able to restart it
i download the USA version from AT&T but as i said the software is locked only with AT&T sim card so i cant use 3g network since my provider is from Middle East (Dubai)
i found later on and i download the Chinese version ME860 but main language is Chinese so after starting up the phone even if i choose English some part of the phone and some notifications remain in Chinese language.
what am looking is the Asia version ME865 or the official Rom comes from Motorola its self and not from any specific provider
sorry for the confusion but with my S2 i didn't had this problem that the only reason i regret buying Motorola

Your first issue was flashing a ROM that does not support all the hardware. Now I can link you to the ME865 fxz, but it is the Chinese version, and it is not a "Motorola" blank slate, it is from a carrier, ALL ROMS that are stock come from a carrier, that is how it works.
Here is the true ME865 fxz, but that is the Chinese version, and you HAVE to flash that first, since that is the hardware you have, you might have to download some languages to from the market to get it all to work in your native language though:

For good and for Bad luck i already have both version
i really appreciate your support i
new that the XDA guys are nice but i never expect so much
i will stick at the moment with the AT&T version till later on (i really hope) to get the availability with more stock Roms.
the thing is that the Chinese version you send me is the same as the one i have already and based on what i read on the net is only for china but the one was on my phone was the official Motorola unlocked software which as i see at the moment is not yet available for download
thanking you one thousand times for the support and hope in the near future to get what i am looking desperate for.

P6210 Offical Samsung UK Stock ROM

Hi all,
I am trying to follow up on the rumours of ICS being released in the UK via Kies. However, I have a US firmware on my SGT 7+ (P6210UELA3) and I'd like to get the UK version (or EU if there isn't a UK one) on there to see if I can grab the ICS update.
Does anyone have a link to the official UK/EU firmware from which I can grab and flash the ROM?

He heard it here from qubeuk user: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28725729
It may be a short-term released firmware he accidentally updated to, but it's not available yet. According to its build time, it was compiled some hours after the P6200 firmware.
I understand Samsung strategy. Releases only one firmware per device per week, only for one small region. They know xda members will jump on it, install it, and besides Austrian users, experienced users will stress-test the firmware. Maybe they solve bugs, too, like the P6800 WIFI bug (and I bet this can be applied to P6200 users, too, check P6800 forum). After testing that, they will fix all errors and release firmwares for all regions and all models in a few weeks.
And, they're right. No better and cheaper testers than experienced users. And this way, simple users will just get a stable version later.

I don't wanna get into a useless fight but think it over again. Open your eyes and see what happens when a device like tab7+ comes to surface months after ICS is introduces with HC installed and almost a year is needed to get ICS in a very limited region first, but letting experienced users to install it on their device. Why? Money?
Believe me, this is the strategy. This way, major bugs affect only a few "official" users (Austrian people), but experienced ones can find all bugs by using and testing devices for free. Why? Less investment?
So, "sorry", but believe this is how it works. And I believe your opinion is based on decades of software production knowledge, but mine is.

You are completely wrong about the ICS timeframe just so you know. Its only been on the street for 7ish months. And on tablets for farrrrr less time.

You're completely right! I remembered that G7+ was released in February but now I see it was released in last October. Sorry, my bad. Anyway, it doesn't change my opinion on Samsung firmware upgrade policy.

Official UK ICS 4.04 GT-P6210 Firmware
Here is the link for the official UK 4.04 ICS firmware for the P6210 I've downloaded and installed via Odin today on 2 6210's no problems and much better than honeycomb. I also change my CSC as mine was set to France and now set to UK so updates via Kies work etc.

I used a program from the play store which change the CSC from XEF (France) to XEU (UK) link below. It didn't state that it work for the GT-P6210 but did work fine with a little messing. If I ran it from 3.2 Honeycomb it didn't come up with any options to change the CSC and just showed I was on XEF (France) CSC so what seemed to work for me is to factory reset 3.2 (or 4.04 if you have already installed update)and leave it at the language selection screen do not enter any set-up details then turn off and enter download mode and flash 4.04 firmware from Odin. Once that's finished complete initial set-up and get into the 4.04 OS and install CSC selector from the Play store and run it selecting XEU (UK) from the list and install the new CSC. This will automatically do another full reset on the device changing the CSC to the new region and will now updates OTA or through Kies no problem as your CSC matches the firmware (this is confirmed when you open Kies as it shows the CSC on the initial screen).
Whenever you change the CSC it always wipes the device a little annoying but only needs doing the once so not a big problem to get the device right.

Jelly bean OTA update not detected

Hello everyone,
I live in the UK and got my Note 10.1 Wi-Fi N8000 for last Christmas from my brother who worked in South Korea. Everything was in Korean and I switched it all in English and everything works fine.
The thing that bugs me right now is that I would like to upgrade to Jelly Bean but nothing new is detected when I hit the Software Update button... Do you have any idea why?
Is it simply not available for me yet and should I just wait more? That would surprise me as I noticed that JB has already been deployed in many countries now, and 4.1.2 update seems to be on the way...
Or more likely in my opinion, does it have anything to do with my tablet coming from South Korea?
In any case, what should I do to get Jelly Bean?
For now, my Note is working under the original ICS 4.0.4, and is not rooted. I am ok with rooting my Note if need be but if possible, I'd prefer not to use Kies...
Thanks for your help!

root and update with odin to get the latest 4.1.2 check the step by step guides first though so you know what you are doing.

you can't update OTA because the firmware that you are using is of South Korea.. so the only way to get JB is to flash it... and don't worry everyone here don't use kies... we use ODIN...
what you shoud do first is download these necessary files:
1. Odin - the flashing tool
2. the firmware you wan't to flash
optional:
3. root
4. custom recovery..

Thanks very much!
I would have a few more (newbie) questions still:
- Once I flash a new ROM, will I be able to get OTA updates or will it be never possible?
And actually I don't understand why using a South Korean firmware prevents me from updating OTA... How do the South Korean do then, they can't update OTA? If I got a South Korean IP by connecting to a South Korean VPN for example, would OTA updates work? Or am I totally wrong? :silly:
- About choosing the new ROM (I'll stick with the official ones for now), does the country matter or can I choose whatever I fancy? (I live in the UK right now but I'm from France so I don't know if I should choose one version over the other)
- And one last but not least thing: as my Note is from Korea, my device model is actually SHW-M480W and is not like N80XX.
As it is Wi-Fi only, it should correspond to N8010 but are you sure that flashing a N8010 firmware will actually work?
