I bought the SGS2 rooted from Hungary and when I connected it to KIES it still recognised the software as official and when I went to my home country Malta it managed to upgrade to ICS. Since that time I flashed other roms and never went back to samsung official roms (unless they are not modified).
The other thing you should think of is you can always revert back to the official GB if something goes wrong. Just be sure that you can download the official firmware for your country so that you will have it when you need it back.
Good luck with your flashing If you need something do not hesitate to ask, I will do my best to help

Hello,
I have a Galaxy Tab with the latest Arabic firmware(JM6 Froyo).
I want to update to Gingerbread(2.3). There exists a stock firmware that is European with tutorials all over the net on how to flash the GT. However, there is no mention as to what SHOULD be the previous firmware that would at least be compatible whether Asian, US, European,etc firmware.
Therefore, should I go ahead and update/flash my GT? or else better wait for the official Arabic update from Samsung?

Thanks for replying.
My tab is already rooted using super 1 click.
I want to install/flash to gingerbread. Can I use the instruction here with the European gingerbread over my Arabic froyo?
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?
I bought just yesterday a samsung galaxy r9103, all good and in order but i have a lillte problem.

If you are rooted & want to do..then root your phone & switch to CM10.1. It has all solutions.
So a solution to remain on actualy rom 2.3.6gb all region u dont have?
See pictures.!
which region are you in? Which region rom would you like to use? You can flash any stock 2.3.6 Official Samsung ROM from this link
Welcome to the SGR Family
You will have to download Odin in your PC and flash the stock rom you want via that software. Then you will have another region's CSC in your phone. The current bugfree and stable 2.3.6 ROMs are the austrian "3" provider rom. To be honest, the reason why most of us here recommend CM10.1 is because of its awesomeness. Another point is that Gingerbread Roms (2.3.6) and ICS Roms (4.0.4) which were officially released by samsung are buggy for us. For eg, in GB Indian CSC version Rom the data counter doesnt work properly and in ICS the games do not work properly, there is frequent stuttering etc. Hence we moved to jelly bean 4.2 in cm10.1 which is just beyond amazing.
However, if you use GPS often or skype/other voice calling apps over the internet they may not work properly yet. GPS is sort of moody and is working for some and not for the rest.. not sure why.. but i'm sure all these bugs will be squashed out soon..
Happy flashing
Hello There
I have a GT-i9100g and i upgraded it from 2.3.6 to JB 4.1.2 France , the problem is about my device bluetooth speed , Bluetooth speed has been reduced from over 200KB/s to about 80KB/s since i upgraded it to 4.1.2 France.
I flashed the rom again with full wipe and factory reset but the problem didn't fix
What i have to do?
How did you flash it?

How did you flash it?
Did you download the rom and flash it using ODIN?
Did you flash a modem/baseband with it?
You keep saying its JB 4.1.2 France...
If your S2 has a different baseband than that of France then you might have a problem but don't worry, it's easy to fix...
Please provide more info so that we can help you!

Great! So you have the experience!
Now, where did you buy your phone? In the samMobile page, register and go to this page: samMobile and choose your model (GT-I9100G) and choose your country (the country that you bought the device from) and press "Check Firmware".
Download the latest firmware and flash it using ODIN...

Well, i bought my phone here in the Philippines. Also i came across a thailand firmware while searching and it matches mine, but the link is not available anymore.
So if you can find/give a stock firmware for me it will really help me a lot.
p.s. i cant post links yet so google "s7500dxlb1" and view the one that says "S7500DXLB1 Android 2.3.6 Thailand Firmware Download" to see the link im talking about.

Don't be worry.
I live in Taiwan but I can flash even German version( I've tried before)
This firmware is the latest. I think your version is older one. Samsung released several version to make it stable, so the latest version is the stablest version and it will also add some new features.
Actually, all S7500 firmware is suitable but you have to notice that your area.
Because I found I flash German 2.3.6 stock firmware and I cannot have stock Chinese keyboard in it.
Flash your country version is the best choice.
p.s. if you flash from a custom rom, don't forget to back up data you want and do factory reset. it will make your S7500 work like a new phone
thanks a lot
