Find a browser that supports Arabic.. Just don't use stock. There are some custom roms on here that actually hive you Arabic characters throughout the rom. However, of course you need to root.

This ROM, brought over from the i9000 (ported) will run arabic for sure.

Why are you so against root?
Qkster is right.

if you know what you are doing, yes, you can bypass root and go into download mode and flash using odin.
I'm not sure what you mean by not rooting.
Once you flash a custom ROM, more than likely, it will be rooted.
If you want the OTA from Samsung, you will have to odin your phone back to stock froyo UCKD5 2.2.1. I think it will connect, although I have not tried it myself.

All i wanna to know the installtion of firmware with odin just like Galaxy sII
By open odin and select PDA and make my phone on download mode and click start on odin
Just that or not? Because that all i can do
I did it before with sgs2

I don't have an sgsII, so I couldn't advise you correctly.
Odin on the Infuse can be use to flash a stock firmware and kernels.
I don't think there are too many custom ROM packages that is design for flashing using Odin.
Most users here uses Odin to bring their phone back to stock when they have a problem...not to flash a custom ROM.

I'm not familiar with the Infuse international capabilities.
You can try unlocking the Infuse and run it using a local provider.

Bottom line: If your stock ROM does not support Arabic and a custom ROM supports it, you will need to change out the stock ROM.
c'est la vie, mon frere.
edit: rooting does not kill the phone.

I'm in Egypt,and i've bought the infuse also.Dun worry,the rooting is a one click process,i've rooted my phone and flashed several roms to it.It once bricked,but i managed to get away with that.Root ur phone..and i guarantee u that u'll never regret it
regarding reading arabic in ur browser,u can use opera mobile,download it from the market,it'll do the trick.

[Q] Leaked ICS General Questions

Firstly, I would like to apologize if this information is elsewhere but I just wanted to get confirmation for this all in one place.
1) If I upgrade to the leaked ICS ROM will I retain root privileges.
2) If I do not retain root privileges can I re root my phone (I had this issue with the HTC aria upgrade to froyo because of the locked bootloader)
3) Is this ROM stable (or at least relatively so)

1) yes
2) doesn't apply becuz of 1
3) yes, i recommend superlite 5.1 or team perfection.

Correction: if you upgrade through Odin, you lose everything on your internal sdcard AND ROOT.

If you use the Odin leak (not very stable) use super one click or Odin cwm then flash superuser to get root.
Or do the easy way and flash one of the custom rooms that all are already rooted for you and have fixes.

correction correction. As long as he flashes one of the roms i suggested, I highly recommend superlite, he won't lose either. Plus the oneclick is unstable and buggy

So the leaked official one is not very stable correct? If I were to flash one of the custom ones would it have touchwiz and all the other official stuff

u want all the touchwiz stuff? Use superlite by mhx or stock revamped by team perfection. Im not a fan of touchwiz, and if: aren't either any other ics rom will do, in which case i recommend ics - the real thing by seanscreamz.

This entire thread could of been avoided, by just reading the Odin ics and root thread in the rom section. Close this thread

I be prefer to installed cwm recovery and take ICS ROM from development is running perfect. That what I have done.

I can help you with this, but first you must understand that if you are running 4.0 ICS you are running stock official firmware and to get to 4.1 you will need to know how to use Odin ,be able to flash a custom recovery, and you will root your phone in the process, all of this which will void your warranty are you sure you want to continue?

You can skip root and just Odin cwm on, instead of having to run it twice. Unless you need to tibu some apps. I would suggest starting fresh while jumping to jb though.

[Q] Issue with samsung galaxy sgh t959v upgrade to JB

HI Gurus,
I own the samsung galaxy sgh t959v running on official tmobile stock gigerbread 2.3.6. Recently, I've tried to update it to run on JellyBean(4.1.1) trying to follow the below tutorial.
First you need the ODIN files(to go back to stock) : goo.gl/An7S (scroll down for where it says download and download the 4 files in there )
put this file in your sd card with the other one . if you dont have this file then you wont be able to use recovery mod :goo.gl/FuHFJ
Then you need to root your phone : goo.gl/oW4WO
USE THIS LINK (FOR ROOT)IF NOT FIRST ONE WORKING : dl.dropbox.com/u/13517705/SGH-
Then you gotta update your phone to CM-7 (gingerbread)(2.3.7) : goo.gl/rjFRj
then , you need chimera 2.2 ( ICS )(4.0.4) : d-h.st/uwi
and finally , you need to install panaroid android(JB)(4.1.1): goo.gl/Frl3z
gapps : goo.gl/jN55d

I am not able to boot up to download mode either so that I can re-flash the basic stock version.
tried installing chimera 2.2 ( ICS )(4.0.4) : d-h.st/uwi as well but no luck.
I've tried everything from trying to wipe out the data/factory reset.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,

You flashed vibrant (SGH-T959) ROM and recovery and not SGS 4G (SGH-T959V).
These are 2 completely different devices.
I hope you haven't bricked your phone.
Try the one-click back to stock - specifically section 2...
and if it works, flash only ROMs appearing in this forum development section.
Good luck!

It works

You can flash any of the ROMs listed in these SGS4G forums. However, make sure you read the instructions carefully for each ROM, as some require you to have already been on an ICS ROM due to file system changes. Do not flash anything for the Vibrant or any other phone or you will have serious problems. Good luck!

Antonx basic with a twist or bhundvens blastoff v2.5 are two good ones to use

If you don't care for GPS - I'd go with one of our great aries 4.2.2 ROMs.
till this fuctionality is added,
If you want a GPS on your daily driver, you'll have to flash an ICS ROM, such as
AOKP, CM9, HebMIUI, Ultragen....
