m250

:good:

hi guys been new here, from galaxy s m110s

im planning to upgrade to galaxy s2

i will just ask something

which of the three is better?

m250s / k / l ?

or am i correct that they are the same?
[Galaxy S II General] Kitschki:
Theyre same but you will find the least amount of hacks available for the l version
[Galaxy S II General] shockcrix:
m250s

because someone is selling me a m250s that flashed to a i9100 4.1.2 r0m, to rem0ve korean apps, is that possible?
[Galaxy S II General] BaCkkk:
i have few questions...so if somebody can help me in this

1)can i convert any M250(S,L,K) version into I9100..

2)accroding to my googling :) i see that if i have to install any custom I9100 rom ,first i have to convert by flashig I9100 official rom with PIT file..and then SIYAh kernal...so if i want to install omega rom on my M250S...doest this process is correct or may i have install another kernal for omega rom???
[Galaxy S II General] WeBMaZTaH:
You could follow this instructions on how to convert yung Korean SGS2 to GT-I9100. :D

You could use Siyah kernel after successfully converting your SGS2. But, when you install Omega ROM, the kernel will be changed to it's pre-installed kernel which is PhilZ Kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] BaCkkk:
so it means process is simple..

first covert into I9100 by flashing TAR and PIT file..

second install siyah kernal for rooting

third install omega from recovery...

am i right???
[Galaxy S II General] mubeenshahid:
Right

Friends i have updated my sensors file from original ICS for M250S and now i see that Gyroscope sensor and Compass seems to be perfect!

Make sure you take a backup of your original files incase you encounter any problem of sensor :)

There are files included in it.

You will need root access and root browser

Copy and replace libakm.so to System/lib folder

Copy and replace sensors.default.so to System/lib/hw folder

Please let me know if u encounter any problems :) Compass & accelerometer seems to be running well. Did not test other sensors

Update :- Everything is working perfect ;) Enjoy

hi all korean s2 users :)

i have a quick question about the m250s (SK-T)...

basicly i have on hand a m250s, i bought off of another foreigner out here in seoul, korea. seemed good, took it home to put my sim in and low and behold im getting no network.

i had come to the (guessed) conclusion that the phone is blacklisted here in korea.

the sim i am testing with is one of those iphone mini-sims on KT-OLLEH network. i know its not the correct size for the m250s but careful placement should let it be read.

when i checked simlock with the *#simlock# code no info comes up atall, so i decided i might aswell send it back home to the UK so my old man can use it on his network.

i converted it to a i9100 partition and flashed it with UK's THREE network rom and tried the *#simlock# code again and this time i am getting:

network lock OFF

network subset lock OFF

sp lock OFF

cp lock OFF

which, to me (correct me if im wrong please!) says that the phone is unlocked and not blacklisted.

this got me all excited, so i repartitioned and flashed it to the m250k KT-OLLEH rom and put in my sim, tested *#simlock# and again nothing came up and i cant get a network.

any advice on what i can do with the phone?

best case : i would like to use it here in korea on the KT-OLLEH network (flashed/partitioned as KT-OLLEH m250k)

worst case : i will ship it to my father in the UK and let him use it (flashed partitioned as THREE i9100)

many thanks for any imput!

[Galaxy S II General] David Jose de Jesus:
doubt

One last question, before I try the update, on page 104 ou said :

5. Fill the PIT using the I9100 pit from the attachment(check if re-partition is ticked)

that means, I have to check the re-partition right?

URGENT!!! Hey i need the CMM file for SHW M250S as i am going to JTAG a bricked device having used wrong PIT file. Also, I would need the PIT,Boot.bin file. Please help me out.
[Galaxy S II General] ropiana:
hi.. I read in sammobile that updates for s2 is already rolling out.. has anyone tried to flash it with our m250s?

currently, I'm in ics4.0.4 the leaked one, is it safe to flash it with JB?

i heard if you wipe in this rom, you'll brick your phone?

what's safest way to flash into JB? thank you very much..
[Galaxy S II General] shindatuin:
Hi ropiana.

Convert ur phone first to GT-i9100

Using 4.0.3 firmwares in sammobile

Use also the i9100 PIT.

See page 104 for the steps in this thread.

Be sure to install first the samsung mobile phone driver.

after the conversion..

U can now safely upgrade ur phone to 4.1.2 LS8 from sammobile.

Upon upgrading:

Use ODIN method

Download the ls8 fw from sammobile.

Extract the zip file

1. Open Odin 1.85 (run as administrator)

2. Put the LS8 FW tar.md5 file to PDA

3. Connect ur GT-i9100 (already converted from m250*)

4. Click start and wait until done

(Only check the auto.reboot and reset time)

Anyway. 4.0.3 and 4.1.2 firmware are safe from mmc brickbug.

Step on rooting XWLS8 JB 4.1.2

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=37149820#post37149820
[Galaxy S II General] ropiana:
thank you very much..

one last thing.. before flashing to JB do I have to include the pit file?

since I'm already in I9100? and not m250s?
[Galaxy S II General] shindatuin:
Since u are now in i9100. U don't have to use the PIT file anymore

Just put the LS8 tar.md5 to the PDA

PIT file can only be use when u go back to m250s stock rom with the M250K PIT file. And vice versa.

Anyway. Make sure to Uncheck the repartition this time. Only the auto reboot and reset time marked with CHECKS

I guess this is a very detailed method for you.. if u want to root.. follow my guide on the link below..

Hi

i want to ask that after converting to i9100 firmware sensor working or not as on thread some says working or some says not working.

And also i m on 4.0.4 ,can i use any region 4.0.3 firmware on korean Galaxy S2 to convert it to i9100.

and mobile is also rooted so should i unroot it or leave it.
[Galaxy S II General] aftabbabar:
i have updated my i9100 (converted from shw-s250s) to 4.1.2. My network signal is weak and often times I can't make a call out or hear incoming calls. please recommend a radio to boost performance of the modem? thanks om advance.

i tried to fix for lock screen and power button on jellybean but it didn't work. please inform me how to fix it.

\
[Galaxy S II General] ahsan64:
So what method you use to fix power and lockscreen issue
[Galaxy S II General] aftabbabar:
Ok, I was able to fix the lock screen swipe issue and the power button menu problems.

the fix is there.

phone must be rooted:

Lockscreen and power options can be returned by following this .you need root access first.

1. Using a root browser (root explorer) navigate to /efs/imei

2. Create file "keystr"

3. Open it as text and write "ON"

4. Set permissions to rwx rwx rwx

5. Reboot

the permission part confused me so i looked at this page and found out what I needed to check on the permissions.
[Galaxy S II General] shindatuin:
Leave it rooted. For it will be unrooted upon changing official stock firmware
[Galaxy S II General] penasbo:
Can i use this instructions even i stil on v2.3.5? SWH-M250S is my model anyways.

What file do i need

Do i have to rebrand to gt I9100?
[Galaxy S II General] ahsan64:
yes you can use this method

Convert ur phone first to GT-i9100

Using any region 4.0.3 firmwares in sammobile but not 4.0.4 firmware bcz of brick bug in it.

Use also the i9100 PIT present on page 104.

See page 104 for the steps in this thread.

But first intall Kies or samsung drivers then use odin for flashing.
[Galaxy S II General] aftabbabar:
my shw-m250s has been converted to i9100 and then I have updated it to android 4.1.2 (jellybean). Rooted and power button and screen lock fixed. This phone is so smooth, no lags in anything, rock solid and without any glitches. I am amazed to see the jellybean update has made this phone a whole new model. so fast, it seems like it has 4 core processor instead of 2. LOL

I have installed root uninstaller and removed all the apps that i didn't need. Everything works fine except it feels like I have weaker cell signal than before. In any case, calls come in and out without problems. If I can only change the modem to make signal stronger, the phone will be 100% perfect.

So guys, go ahead and update the phone to android 4.1.2 and you will see the huge difference.

Converting to GT-I9100

This question has probably been asked before, but since I could not find it, I thought I'd try it here,

What are the advantages of converting to GT-I9100? I bought the SHW-M250K model like one year ago, never flashed/rooted it and have always been using the official OTA updates. So far it works pretty well for me, so I was just wondering what the advantages would be.

Also, is SHW-M250K getting the official Jelly Bean update too?
[Galaxy S II General] Kitschki:
Yes it will get jb but the carrier always take longer because they change the rom a biy
[Galaxy S II General] DVDeus:
Hi all,

I am sorry for posting questions that were very likely already answered, but I need a quick reply since I have an option to buy korean SGS2 tomorrow.

Does it matter which model do I buy (250K / L / S)? Is there any difference at all with the EU GT-I9100 model? Can I install for example Slim Bean from SlimRoms, or any other CM based custom ROM? Any signal problems? The phone will be used in EU.

Finally, is it worth 40€ save compared to an EU version with warranty?

Thank you very much!
[Galaxy S II General] ahsan64:
Korean gs2 are limited in case of messaging(80 bytes only) and with me I am unable to to make conference call etc and also lots of Korean stuff will be there but don't worry you can easily convert it to GS2 GTi9100. So buy whichever you wanna buy and I think korean version cost low as compared to gt i9100
[Galaxy S II General] DVDeus:
Thank you for a quick reply. Do those limitations you mentioned still exists when converted to GT-I9100? I will convert it for sure, if I buy it. But first I need to know, if there are any limitations and differences to EU version. Is display and all the hardware inside the same? Does it matter what model do I get (K or L or S)?

If converted to i9100, can I install any ROM like I would on a normal EU version of i9100?
[Galaxy S II General] ahsan64:
No limitations will be there and all things working in case of mine :cool: . And hardware is same and no matter which model you buy as I have m250s. Once you converted u can install any Rom u like. Spain jelly bean version is also released ..

Further need any help just PM me :)
[Galaxy S II General] DVDeus:
Hi,

the phone is now converted and running SlimBean RC1 4.2.1 (AOSP) (tnx to ahsan64).

Everything works fine, except:

-lockscreen is a bit laggy/slow, compared to SGS1 with SlimBean

-loudspeaker volume is very low. I think that was the case even in original korean 2.3.5.

I have read about changing radio/baseband, because I cannot access audio in service menu to boost the volume. Do you have any idea about what should be the problem? Headset speaker is fine, BT is fine, and in-ear headphones volume is fine. Just the loudspeaker.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] DVDeus:
I went back to 4.1.2 SlimBean, which is faster and more reliable atm.

I also tried few other basebands, and with XXLPJ I can change audio settings. Looks like the volume is a bit higher compared to previous radio, but still very low. Yesterday I did open the phone and clean the speaker/antenna module, but the sound volume is still the same.

I found this interesting; when lowering ringer volume from max to min (one level before vibrate), the volume level goes down like it should. When I push vol- again to reach vibrate and then back vol+ for the level one ringer, the volume is almost as high as the max.

edit: is it possible to use NFC or TV Tuner in converted i9100?

Friend its not for Korean s2 its for gti9100 so first you have to convert your phone than you can use this..

After that you can root install recovery and flash Rom :D

Loudspeaker replacement

The loudspeaker is not the same as in the GT-I9100 version.

But:p

With a knife and some patience you can "slice" it a bit to fit the cover. All the pins are in the same location, only the plastic itself is not really the same 3D model. I have bought the one from eCell on UK ebay.

Anyway, closing the back cover was a bit harder and it still does not fit like original one, but it works and visually there is no difference.:good:

Ok what are you exactly doing are you using PIT of gti9100 and flashing through odin..

As in PIT .zip you have to extract it and choose gti9100 Pit

Also the firmware is also in .zip form so you have to extract it then use it...

I tried that but it always FAILS on the modem.bin part. What to do now?

may be bad drivers or bad download. Did your phone detected in odin and marked yellow ?? you have to go in download mode not in recovery mode ... power off mobile than press vol down , home and power instead of vol up,home and power.

repartition must be checked as shown in the 104 page with picture.

if you didn't install kies samsung than you install that for drivers and check if it help...
