Here's the thing. As usual it seems to be an organization issue here between major brands and models so after looking around for hours I'm still not able to figure out what is going on here.
I bought a Samsung galaxy S II LTE SGHI727R from Rogers Canada.
Is there a European ROM available for it? i want to debrand it and remove bloatware I guess.
Will the Samsung Skyrock ROM work on it ok?
Some good info on this matter would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I think the easyest thing to do is go on the samsware website choose a reagion u want it from and flash it. I had a problem upgradeing my phone with loads of crappy bloatware. So I just flashed stock europe firmware to it. Just dont choose a network provider firmware but it does explain it easly enough
Where exactly can I find this on samsung's websites? Been looking, but can't find it
This is most probs best site for the original firmware its got a list of all sgs2, sgs1 etc

we need insecure kernel ? any one know where get it ?
The first site you linked is crap. All they did is get articles of the S2 and change that term for R.
However, I am cooperating with another person to build an insecure kernel for this device (well, to be fair, he is doing all of the work. I am only providing the info that he needs of the phone and trying out his theories). The thing is that we hope that in a near future we will be able to root the Galaxy R with the file we are making and an app called S2 Root, which allready supports our phone.

Hey Guy's!
Just found that Samfirmware made a firmware 4 the asian version of Samsung Galaxy Z/R....
The Z/R is called Samsung W GT-I9103 @samfirmware's site
But things r starting to happen with our beloved giz.....(mo)
fan vad skönt!
I bought my R two days ago, and I started to worry that...there was practically no information about our device even on official samsung website. I even sent an email to them and asked how it was possible that they sold phones and there wasn't any single picture on their homepage.
I hope they'll root it fast, and we'll get some nice custom roms soon!
Vote for own category for GT-i9103 on xda!
Let's have own category for our device! click on this link and leave a comment in favor for galaxy R/Z. This is how it works!

somebody is developing a root?
Please give a link to a working firmware.
And the instructions for flashing the phone.
I killed the firmware after an unsuccessful attempt to gain root
I'm new to Samsung, have you tried update your phone with Kies?

Yes.
Kies can not connect to the phone.
I expect that you need firmware with Odin.
But there is no firmware file and instructions.
I'm afraid that there are only asian roms on sammobile.com now.
Interestingly it has an English language?
What are the differences between the different regional versions of ICS? Is it just languages and bloat-ware, or is there more to it than that?
You know, like modem and phone might operate with different tel-co and country specific standards????
I am in Australia but have the stock ROM of the latest international version ICS LPQ flashed to my SGS2 i9100 though Odin.
I was just wanting to know if there was any advantage of flashing the Australian version of ICS LPQ when it is finally released here. (however long that will take?)
I recon my tel-co (Telstra AKA: Hellstra) will take 3-6 months if the last GB update was anything to go by. hehe.
I'm sure there are plenty of others with similar questions.
Appreciate an anwer please, as I have been trawling the forums and can't find anything.
Cheers
Hello friends My task is not working, i am using windows XP. it was even working even last week. Please tell me how to fix it.

Hi Forum
I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 which is out of warranty. As is known to most, Samsung is most likely not going to come out with an ICS upgrade to this model.
I live in India and travel frequently to the UK, and am therefore looking for a stable ICS ROM that will work on my phone and render the phone usable in India and the UK. I did try with a Cynogen Mod 9 ROM for the i9000 which worked in the UK, but the moment I landed in India, the SIM refused to register with the GSM network in India. My IMEI number also changed when I flashed my phone with this ROM.
Currently, my phone was brought back to a working condition with a Samsung Android 2.1 ROM, but this ROM is really bad and makes my phone freeze frequently.
I am looking forward to some advice from the XDA Forum members to point me to a stable ICS ROM that I can download and flash my phone with, so that the phone works in India.

There are no stable ICS roms for GS2 yet (at least from Cyanogenmod) but they have a gingerbread one (which is better than the 2.1 you have ;P )
Here: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=galaxys2
Anyway, I suggest you stay out of ICS until they make a stable ROM. Port only if you can help develop it
Thanks For the reply. However, I am looking for an update for the Galaxy S. I do not have an S2. My Galaxy S has been sparingly used and I think it has at least a year left in it.

Ooooops I'm really sorry about that. here's the link for the stable CM7 build for the Galax S:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=galaxysmtd
I suggest you use this for the mean time while waiting for the ICS Cyanogen
I would prefer that you use the rom from team icssgs RC4.2 (4.0.3)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398223
I had cyanogen mod 7 installed but was not very happy with it.
So try it out.
Faryaab is also doing a good job. You should check this out : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1628028
I tried ICS Custom Rom from Darky. It worked fine to my SGS1 without any problem. You can try it.
But I already changed to the latest one Jellybean Custom Rom from C-Rom Bean. I find this better in terms of graphics and Google applications.
Today I updated my Galaxy S2 to the ICS update released in Canada. This update removed my Root access that I had earlier. My question is, How do I reroot this version of the phone? I'm confused on this kernel download part, what kernel am i suppose to and all that sorta thing
Galaxy S2
Android Version: 4.03
Baseband: I9100MUGLD3
Kernel Version: 3.0.15-I9100MUGLD3 - CL377577
Build Number: IML74K.UGLD3
same with me
i think we are going to have to find a different rom to use? ive been using Foxhound for a long time and its working well.

Does this method work on the bell stock rom? I am only asking because on the youtube link it is making reference to the att sprint tmobile and international.
Hello guys,
I need to make my Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 go back to stock, I installed the Android ICS 4.0.3 (and what i think my friend installed is a launcher that makes it look like the s3) but my WI-Fi is not working, not even scans for it...so I think i need to factory reset...right?
Please if any1 has the Brazilian ROM + Original Kernel for the "ZTO" firmaware (the version with no carriers) I would deeply aprecciate! There are NO LINKS active that I could find on the web nor here! Or if any1 knows wtf problems are going on with my wi-fi it would help too!
Using Kernel version 3.0.15 [email protected] #k3-25
Baseband: I9100UHLPF
Many thanks to the XDA Team!
