Once you flash a gt-i9100 rom, the ability to use DMB will be lost. That's a common problem in flashing other roms than the official korean to shw-m250 variants since Korea I think is the only country that widely uses DMB on mobile phones.

---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------

Actually if you flash your phone to i9100, you will lose the NFC capability but no worries. Thanks to the hardworking XDA guys who added this feature to our phone. Check this link and read carefully. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24439878&postcount=102

For vibration that's a common problem when flashing i9100 kernels to our m250*. Its quite irritating since it so weak that you can't even feel it, but not big deal for me but let's hope that some good guy out there could fix it.

For kernel, it's your choice. There are various kernels out there. Just compare them and choose which is best for your taste. I'm currently using Siyah Kernel 3.2b8 and it's really good. :)

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 PM ----------

I think it's the ICS rom whose at fault here. It really absorbs battery too much when there are activities going on on background but at sleep only around 1% is eaten. It's the same with the latest Korean ICS rom. I'm using a custom rom right now which is Omega rom aokp version with siyah kernel and my phone last for 22 hours(sometimes more than a day) with 13% battery remaining with heavy usage of wifi and some games.
[Galaxy S II General] WSimca:
I can't read korean that well but this is the same procedures as flashing a rom right? Will this fix the broken sms?
[Galaxy S II General] xnote4u:
Yes. Just download*SHW-M250S.UD18.zip.xxx files from 1 to 33 from the link

http://pspmaster.tistory.com/110

Use 7-zip for combining all 33files into one tar.md5 file. Use ODIN to flash. I guess u know how to use odin. But do it on your own risk for shw-m250s. I did the same way to convert my galaxy2 from european version to korean version. If you want u can also tegrak kernel from the link below by odin:

http://pspmaster.tistory.com/attachment/cfile1.uf@1716123C4FC9C3A1023375.tar

Plz do it carefully. Better to clear all catches before flash. Hope it should help return ur phone to Korean version
[Galaxy S II General] kaizer216:
Actually there is a site which is easier. http://w.jkh.kr/gb4/bbs/board.php?bo_table=galaxy&sca=S2펌웨어 If you can't understand Korean, use google chrome and translate it to english. There are two kinds, the rooting version and the normal one. Choose UE21(SKT) since it's the latest. :)

---------- Post added at 03:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 AM ----------

What rom are you currently using now? When you flashed your phone to eu firmware did you include the gt-i9100 pit file? Also if you will revert your phone back to the official Korean, be sure to include the m250s pit file if you came from i9100 firmwares.
[Galaxy S II General] WSimca:
Right now I'm already on the korean pre-rooted version. Everything works fine except sms. I'll try what you guys recommended tomorrow.

Greetings. I have the GS2 international I9100 and am now in Korea with SK Telecom. Does anyone have a link to some modems used here in Korea? I don't speak/read Korean. Thanks for any assistance.
[Galaxy S II General] nobita_bk06:
not working

after turning into GT-I9100 i can't use my phone any more. No network available, it said. I am currently in Korea, I use SK telecom and the original is SHW-M250S. I don't know what i have to do now. I already used sim unlock but i couldn't get any code. Is it possible to return into M250S version? Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] kaizer216:
Have you tried manually searching for network operators in settings under mobile networks? Yes it is possible to revert back to m250s. Download an m250s/k pit(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1595225&page=2 posted by davidspwy) and the latest Korean rom which can be found here http://w.jkh.kr/gb4/bbs/board.php?bo_table=galaxy&sca=S2펌웨어(be sure to choose SKT) just translate using Google chrome and flash just like you flash an i9100 rom to your phone.
[Galaxy S II General] nobita_bk06:
thanks first,

There is only that way to fix my problem? could I flash stock kernel to solve it? How can i find and check whether it suitable for this ROM or not?

Model nuber: GT-I9100

Baseband: I9100DXKG1

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKI3-CL577579

Build number: GINGERBREAD.DXKG3

Actually i don't like M250S ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] tommy_23:
What is the latest firmware version for m250k and where can i found it to download? 10x
[Galaxy S II General] kaizer216:
Try searching for available networks. Go to settings and mobile networks then manually search for networks. If it works, you could see SKT, KT and LGU with numbers. Choose SKT. You are already on the stock kernel. Why not try upgrading to ICS? Just try

---------- Post added at 01:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 AM ----------

I think it is UC21. You can download it here http://pspmaster.tistory.com/111. If you can't understand Korean, use chrome and translate it to english. Use 7zip or winrar to unzipt. If you want a pre-rooted korean rom, check here http://w.jkh.kr/gb4/bbs/board.php?bo_table=galaxy&sca=S2펌웨어(the latest here is UC08 only.) Remember to CHOOSE KT. There are two types, the rooting version and the normal one. You can choose from either two.
[Galaxy S II General] nobita_bk06:
Thanks,

I followed your guide but nothing changed. It found SKT and KTF, but can not connect to network, please try again later, it said. I think that There is some problems when i use I9100_ext.pit file. I just flashed cm9 into my galaxy s2, tried many way, but nothing happen. I think i have to return to M250s. Can I do that over Mobile odin? I mean do not use computer.

Again, thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] kaizer216:
Don't use mobile odin if your going back to m250s as you need to include the m250 pit file. Mobile odin does not allow flashing including pit file. Try reverting back to m250 then back again to i9100. Who knows it might work :)

Samsung Galaxy S II (SHW-M250S)

In real deep trouble.. accidentally damaged my sim card slot/tray when taking out the sim card adapter (micro sim). Now looking for replacement of this tray. Can someone recommend a good store to buy it in US?
[Galaxy S II General] dr.tanchuong:
thanks

Oh, yes! my problem are:

1. Lock screen is not working.

2. When I long press the power button it just shuts down not showing pop up menu to chose (reboot, shutdown, airplane, etc).

3.SMS has 90 charter

I up firmeware 1I9100 but I fell this firmware id not best than firmware M250K

Do you known what is least firmware Korean version?

thanks so much!
[Galaxy S II General] kaizer216:
First of all, root you phone. Using es file explorer or any other root browser, follow this guide by memorycontroller:

1. Using a root browser 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

With this, you can now get your lockscreen working and the power button back to the way it is. What i9100 firmware did you flash to your phone? As far as I know, most of i9100 rom do not have the 90characters limitation. You could just either use Go SMS Pro or Handcent from the Play Store.

Same for me, I find official i9100 rom slow for me so I flashed a custom rom. It is better than the stock Korean since most of bloatwares are gone.I do not use those stock Korean apps like olleh market, olleh wallet.
[Galaxy S II General] xnote4u:
Hi there. Can anyone recommend me any best arabic included rom for m250s? Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] kaizer216:
I'm afraid that you will need to flash an I9100 rom that supports Arabic language. You can get one from samfirmware with carrier such as Saudi Arabia or any other country that uses Arabic language.

Noob please help sgs2 m250k

Hello I'm a noob to this site and in need of help. As stated above, I own sgs2 m250k, flashed with gt-i9100 ics rom via odin, rooted with cwn and also have root explorer.

HERE'S MY PROBLEM: Prior to flash with i-9100 was running stock ics rom and data was only picking up edge. I first flashed the i9100 ics alliance rom resurrection edition. Since the flash with alliance rom, data not working at all, no lock screen (screen lock fixed thanks to another member of this site who suggested root explorer). Brought it to a tech friend of mine, he reflashed with a custom rom everything working fine except for my network data. I re-entered my carriers apn, saved then the edge symbol appeared for a second then dissapeared. My mobile network state says disconnected so it won't pick up my data network at all. If anyone has a fix for this or can direct me to the right place please pm me. I'm so bumbed I can't use my data only wifi. Thanks in advance.

Have you tried wiping your data or factory resetting your phone before or after flashing official roms? Also adding the i9100 pit file while flashing official rom using ODIN?

[Galaxy S II General] kaizer216:
Did you include the pit file for m250s when you flashed the rom? Try formatting or do a factory reset to your phone and clear dalvic cache.

Hi! Thanks for making this thread i've been looking for something like it all day!

I have the SHW-M250S from SK telecom that I'm trying to use on Rogers in Canada but Im running into some problems.

firmware version: 2.3.5

Build number : gingerbread.ej04

1. I can't seem to update to ICS via Kies (says device is not supported by kies..)

2. I can't connect to 3G internet, it only shows as G

3. can't send/receive MMS

would flashing my phone with another ROM/firmware be able to fix any of these problems? i read around and some guy mentioned that SHW-M250S uses a distinct SK-MMS system that other nations dont use (OMA-MMS?) so it won't work anywhere but would flashing the phone be able to reset any of these so that it'll work with Rogers in Canada?

Thanks for the help in advance (i just about gave up and thought of buying a new phone as a broke college student)

Have you tried ticking re-partition? Also, fill only the PDA box leaving the PHONE, CSC and BOOTLOADER. Importantly, did you include the pit file for I9100?

---------- Post added at 03:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------

You can try downloading a pre-rooted firmware from here http://goo.gl/yDrx3. Use Google chrome to translate the page to English if you can't read Korean. Use Odin when flashing and fill only the PDA box.
[Galaxy S II General] kaizer216:
Rooting really does nothing on itself other than giving superuser permissions to apps that requires modifying the root of the phone. The rooting applications are the one which can improve battery life by underclocking cpu and things like that. For example is SetCpu. Also, if you do not want to enter the world of rooting(which voids the warranty and can SOMETIMES brick your phone if you don't know what you're doing), try doing a factory reset of your phone if there is no any other way. There might be some apps which causes a huge drain on your battery causes kernel wakelocks. Heating of phone especially the camera part is normal if you are playing games which uses huge memory and cpu usage like GTA, DeadSpace. Also, playing your phone while charging is really bad for your battery's health.

---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 PM ----------

You can try flashing an I9100 official Canadian ICS rom(dowload on samfirmware). This might fix the problem.

Yes, it is possible.

Poor Reception in United States

Hi Everyone!

About 4 months ago I purchased an m250k model of the Samsung Galaxy sII and it worked wonderfully while I travelled around SE Asia. Recently I've arrive back in the states and got onto a AT&T prepaid plan and have noticed a huge decrease in signal strength.

My phone is rooted and I've been running the Cyanogenmod 9 nightlies for awhile now. Does anybody have any suggestions on what I might be able to do to boost my signal strength? Will experimenting with different baseband modems help with this issue? I remember reading somewhere that Korean phones use different signal frequencies and I might be S.O.L.

Thanks for your help!
[Galaxy S II General] kaizer216:
You could either flash another rom or flash an official rom, your choice. If you want an official rom, get one here at samfirmware http://goo.gl/n6u3. If you choose to be on an official rom with root, just flash a custom kernel and your good to go. :) Better do a factory reset(full wipe) to prevent some problems occurring on your phone.

Follow these instructions carefully:

1. Download Odin and extract(look for attachment)

2. Download an ICS rom from http://goo.gl/n6u3

3. Open Odin(run as administrator if using win7 or vista)

4. Fill up only the PDA with the rom you got from sam firmware

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

6. Reboot your phone to download mode by pressing [Power+Voldown+home button at the same time]

7. Connect your phone to pc then check if Odin recognized the device(there should be a yellow signal)

It should look like this:

8. Hit start and pray for luck

9. Enjoy! (if you are experiencing some problems, just do a factory reset of your phone :))

10. In case you want to revert back to m250, just do the same as above but changing the PDA with a korean rom and the m250k pit given from the attachment

Can you enter download mode? If not, I think you might have potentially bricked your phone.
