1. If you are referring to "Active Applications" - its none. i think its some hidden process or app. when i go to Settings->Applications->Manage Apps and on the Running tab i got:

Settings

Tajm

Battstatt Pro

Task manager

DRM Content *

Mwlan *

Android System *

Digital clock

Message

Google Services *

Wi-Fi sharing

Wi-Fi sharing manager

V3 mobile

Samsung keypad

Android Live Wallpaper

* are the app/processes that i dont know/not sure about.

PS: tried stopping most of them, Settings, Wi-fi related two, and Samsung keypad wouldn stop, or re-appears.

besides, how do i uninstall unnecessary apps that come with service provider like oz related, U+ related. got this phone from korea, but here in my country they are useless. suspicion is they might be the actual pain in the аss.

I Did not root my M250L, nor do i have the admin/superuser privilege...

Help!!!!!!!

I already send my phone to someone for fix by JTAG but they said my board model (SHW-M250L) is not the same with GS2 I9100 so there is no video or guide on how to JTAG on my SHW-M250L.

Any body guide me to the page with video for JTAG on Samsung Galaxy S2

Thanks.

Hello all.

First of all, I wanna say thanks to everyone for all of the great info and things I have learned from this thread alone. It has been a huge help on learning to root, CWM, change kernels, ect.

I have a question like all do lol. Currently I am running [Root]HOME_M250S.EG14.1208_CL380592_REV02_user_low_ship

with the

CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_KI4-v4.1-CWM4

kernel for CWM support.

I would like to revert to my stock phone to try a few things out. The phone came stock with the M250K.EL02 kernel installed. I saw the link to get stock roms / firmware but unfortunately I do not speak Korean. Can anyone point me to the direct link for the M250K.EL02 or equivalent?

Just to confirm I am living in South Korea with Olleh service.

Thanks again everyone!:)

Give SuperOneClick a try. I rooted my M250K, (EK23, 2.3.6) with it no problems. I used SuperOneClick v2.3.1 (there are a few newer versions now).

I took this back to NZ a couple of weeks ago and there were no lock issues. Just stuck my Vodafone sim card in, and away I went. Data, SMS, calls, all fine.

There is a new update on Kies available for my phone though, (I think it is the EL02 you have), but I won't update to that unless I know it can be rooted too.

Samsung Galaxy S 2 SHW-M250s

Hi,

I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S 2 SHW-M250s without realising at the time it was the Korean version as the person who sold it to me failed to inform me. I am currently undecided as whether to sell it or to try and root and flash it as there are a few limitations which i do not like.

I have a few questions that i was wondering if anyone could help with:

1. I wanted to know is there any downfalls or differences after rooting it compared to a standard Galaxy S 2 apart from not having the FM Radio functionality?

2. I also noted earlier in this thread people complaining about the vibrate lacking on the SHW-M250K after rooting/flashing. Does anyone have problem with this on the SHW-M250S after rooting/flashing?

3. I noticed people complaining about being stuck on edge after flashing. Has anyone got 3g working in the UK after flashing their SHW-M250S?

4. What is the chance of bricking my device by rooting/flashing? I saw that you could restore from USB Jig but i saw that this also said it will only reset soft bricks rather than hard bricks and i didnt know what the difference was and whether i can achieve both by trying to root this device?

5. I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to rooting/flashing so i was wondering if following the standard Samsung Galaxy S 2 i9100 rooting process applies to this SHW-M250s model as well and if anyone has a link to the best tutorial to follow for this specific SHW-M250s model?

6. I was also wondering what ROM appears to run best on the SHW-M250S and whether an ICS fully working ROM is available yet?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] davidspwy:
use it with thunderbolt,u will find it much more faster:D
[Galaxy S II General] Sticks02:
Not sure if there are any major disadvantages. It lacks the FM radio but has DMB tv functionality, if you can somehow use that. It's also apparently slightly thicker but I use i9100 cases with no problems. :rolleyes:

It's also got NFC built in. There was a hack that would add an NFC on/off switch to any i9100 CFWs that didn't have it, you can try looking it up.

No problems on my end although it does seem to be rather weak. Not a deal breaker.

I have heard conflicting information that the M250S/M250K are actually dual band rather than quad band, and vice versa. I was on a 900/2100 MHz band when I visited home (Australia) and had no problems with 3G speeds. Not sure about the rest.

Very, very low. AFAIK once you get a CWM kernel onto the phone you'll be fine. Korean Siyah kernel would be my recommendation. Then install a CFW through the recovery menu. It's very easy and quick.

Mine is the SHW-M250K and is identical aside from being intended for different Korean carriers (correct me if i'm wrong) You use the standard i9100 rooting process.

Any rom that works on the i9100 will work without hiccups on the Korean versions (NOT the SHW-M250L) I use checkrom v4 with siyah kernel and it's fast and stable. Not sure about ICS.
[Galaxy S II General] MemoryController:
Don't use ICS yet. I personally use HyperDroid/Hydraosp/Galnet MIUI

With Siyah latest.

Rock Solid Butter Smooth ;)
[Galaxy S II General] olyolyoly:
Ive been looking most the afternoon and i'm a bit confused around the rooting process. Should i be getting CFRoot and then flashing any standard GS2 kernel through ODIN or should i be getting an insecure Kernel that matches the Kernel on my phone version 2.6.35.7-M250s.EG14.1208-CL380592?

Then when you say the Korean Siyah Kernal is your recommendation should this replace the insecure kernel?

Can anyone give me a full guide in rooting, backing up and flashing a custom rom or point me in the direction of one that breaks this down step by step and applies to the Korean model?

Thanks again

Solved 1st issue. It was my router that disconnects my M250L. weird, i never got such prob with my HTC Hero though. will investigate from the router part.

2nd. i heard that u have to connect the phone to a computer by cable, and there is a certain program that mods these settings... anyone heard of that program?
[Galaxy S II General] CRAZYFACE:
We have exactly the same phone, might not interest you, but i just upgraded the firmware to 2.3.6. now the baseband version reads M250L.EJ30.1516.LT, build no. GINGERBREAD EL21.

if u're interested, its that simple. just create an account (or login with google acc) in samsungapps.com (if u havent done so), and using wifi go to "upgrade software" under the settings menu. phone restarts 3 times installing the update each time.

writing this with the hope that there might be a better chance of rooting for our devices with 2.3.6 instead of 2.3.4.

no, i didnt - out of fear that i might brick the phone. still looking for solid ways..

no, i dont. but to my experience, u dont need the root privileges to upgrade the firmware, all u need is a samsung account, and a wifi internet. i suppose the upgrade is offered and done as a routine support by samsung itself. u just have to choose "check for update".

that didnt solve for M250L. Error message pops up saying "The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly". Restarting the phone doesnt help.

From what I've learned, flashing a custom rom on the M250L is risky.

So, I'll keep searching for now and update here.
