resolve flash SHW M250S flash rom EJ04

you can download rom, use torrent, and use odin to flash it. rom was root with super user ! if you want use with CWM, download file attach Lulz-Kernel-Build-16-for-M250S-EJ04.tar and flash it !!!

have fun !

So for those of you who have this working, how do you get the data to connect?

I'm in Korea, and I just got the phone rooted, but when I load a new ROM (my ROM of choice is MIUI) it disconnects to data and I'm stuck with just voice calling and wifi.

Is there a way to use Odin to set the modem back to EJ04 (the M250S version) after loading an I9100 ROM?

CheckRom

Hi, I have a shw-250k and I've been trying to flash the dark knight kernel

(http://checkrom.com/threads/kernel-darkknight-v2-3-updated-dec-1.265/)

and the check rom

(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1312240)

I'm just not having any luck with it though. I have been able to get the phone rooted, and use CWM, but when I attempt to load the rom it gives me an error.

I haven't been able to use the Darkknight kernel without it getting into a boot loop as well.

Has anybody had experience with using check rom and the m250k? I think I'm mostly looking for a link to a kernel with a cfroot and a rom that will work for this model.

Any help would be appreciated. Any links to working files would be even more appreciated.

Right all of you! This is the solution.

Download odin rom for I9100.

Flash as if its I9100 using odin.

You will get an error. Unplug, take battery out, set it into download mode again

Reset the odin as well. Now flash a I9100 kernel. Can be stock, speedmod etc.

Voila. All done from now just use CWM like a normal phone. PM me again if you have questions. As for finding the files, well you do it haha

The thing is that i have bought Korean Galaxy SII M250K recently.It has the Olleh startup in it but i am able to use it in Pakistan..its a great phone.There is only 1 problem i am having and that is with the use of "EDGE".

In my "Wireless and Network Settings" when i go into "Mobile Networks" option it doesnt give me the option of Packet data transfer like it gave me the option in my previous SG i9100 phone. It only gives me the following options in the "Network Setting" area

* Automatic

*WCDMA

*GSM/GPRS

i have tried all three options but the internet is very very slow. In "Data Network Settings i only have WCDMA (3g) option that needs to be ticket for use of grps. and when i open the option of "about phone" it says GPRS under the heading of " Mobile Network Type"..Can somebody please help me as to how i can activate EDGE on this and use faster internet because this phone is amazing for streaming purposes. Currently we only have 2G network in Pakistan. Please help, anybody.

Here is additional information pertaining to my phone:

M250K on Rogers Canada

Hi Everyone,

I have read as much as I could and I still can't confirm if my M250K (right now, stock fw, not rooted yet) will work with the 4G data networks of Rogers (or any of the Canadian providers). I believe Rogers will be the same or similar to AT&T.

I am currently getting the "G" with low speeds on Rogers.

Exactly what do I need to do to make it work? or do I have to buy a new phone? I saw some discussion on pages 30-45, but nothing that resulted in someone being happy :)

Any help? Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] pmhking84:
Alright, i think i can tell you what you wanna know.

First of all, You do not need to root or flash other rom to use on foreign network(as far as i know).

you need to confirm the frequency of Rogers 4G data network.

Samsung removed one network frequency(as i remember it was gsm 650) to add DMB feature on m250k.

if Rogers uses gsm 650 for their 4G network, there is no way you can enable 4g feature.

if not, you may be able to use the feature by change setting or flash Rogers ROM
[Galaxy S II General] m77m7:
Thanks for the response. I did use the M250K on Smartone-Vodafone in Hong Kong with total success, I was using HSPA+ and it was fast. No mod/hacks needed, just stick in the SIM and go.

With Rogers, I do know the frequencies, it's 850/1900/2100 which I know the M250k supports; however, I'm not sure if HSPA/HSPA+ on the Rogers 2100 freq is different than the WCDMA 2100 that the M250k supports.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogers_Wireless

http://www.rogers.com/cms/html/gsm_frequency_specs.shtml

I also read from a person here that I can do something to the modem file to make it use the correct frequency because the hardware is all the same, just different things are enabled with different ROMS.

Differences between models

I would need some guidance on which model to buy.

I'm currently in China and I found a shop selling S and K models with quite cheap price, about 430 euros. European model would be 470 euros in Finland. I tried to google for an hour of the list of differences between the models but I could not find it.

The deal is that I travel a lot between China and Finland and I would need a version that works well in both. I understood that there's also Korean models with only dual band and not quad band. Also the MMS protocol is SK and not OME, does this only influence MMS and not SMS ?

What do you think? should I go with european model or get the Korean S or K ?

Oh, btw. If there's other people from China here I found out that some cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen) should have some tv-channels using T-DMB so it would be useful here too.

So if no one can give an answer to how to root the korean variant of the Galaxy S II, could someone please make a guide? I am a foreigner living in korea due to work related issues, so I am not able to read the Korean on matpclub.com. From my knoledge the S,K and L stand for SK, Olleh KT and LG U+ respectively, and they are all CDMA. So my questions are, does the S2 Root which is for the I9100 galaxy S II work for the SHW-M250L that L use? Does it render the DMB tuner and other added functions usless because it is different with the GT i9100? Thanks in advance.

My bill says 703,100won, about $680 or so. You can only get SGS2 on contract, i'm not sure if they're releasing them as outright purchases now but you still need to be a valid visa holder (not a tourist visa).

DMB is kinda, disappointing? When the SGS2 plays anything you throw at it I kinda find DMB redundant. :rolleyes: Also haven't tried flashing the XDA custom roms yet, i'm rooted and customised on a Korean ROM and I cbb changing.

Hi there, I just purchase SGS2 Korean version, can anyone tell me which custom rom is suitable for Korean version?

[Galaxy S II General] m77m7:
You don't need to get SGS2 on contract, my friend helped me buy it without contract after I researched that you can buy it outright from the Galaxy Store in COEX (inside the movie theatre area). This was about a month ago, but it did have to be pre-ordered and pre-paid before picking it up a week later. I am using the phone outside of Korea on GSM.

For all those asking about the compatibility, the M250S (SK Telecom) and M250K (Olleh KT) are pretty much the same in spec with only a few minor differences.

You can get info by using Chrome to translate the Korea Samsung spec page, I can't paste the URL but you can find it. I'm not sure why people are asking questions when they can just goto the Korean Samsung page (I can't read Korean)

The Korean versions don't have the FM radio, but they do have the antenna for the DMB and of course NFC. And yes, the M250S and M250K are exactly 0.5mm thicker than the intl models. That's half a millimeter, or about the thickness of 2 or 3 human hairs more.
[Galaxy S II General] stifmaister:
If anyone is interested i just got a m250-S (with SK Telecom contract) galaxy s2 and i can confirm that works perfectly on O2 UK (with a O2 UK simcard), included hsdpa / hsdpa + . Also the phone was unlocked by factory.

Is the 'M250L_EE31_EE21.zip' the stock kernel for the M250L. I'm trying to find a fail safe way to root. I bricked my first GS2 and don't want to do it again. When I flashed the insecure kernel it didn't give me a problem, but SuperOneClick wouldn't recognize the phone. Then, in the process of trying to flash it back to stock, Odin gave me an error at about 95%. I switched the phone off, and it never switched on again.

My new GS2 doesn't seem to like Odin very much. I tried to use it instead of Kies to just upgrade to the 2.3.3 firmware, and it failed at about 95%. I had to take the phone in to Samsung because it wouldn't boot after that - it would just sit on the start screen that says something about a failed update (I don't speak Korean :( ).

Can you give me some advice about what I should do to successfully root my M250L?

The first time I tried to root, it was with Chainfire's insecure kernel, when the GS2 had just come out.

What is the best/safest kernel for the M250L? Should I use CF-Root (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399)? If so, which one??

Would I still need SuperOneClick after this?Do you know of possible reasons why SuperOneClick wouldn't detect a phone after flashing an insecure kernel?

After SuperOneClick, do I reflash the 'M250L_EE31_EE21.zip'?

Thanks for your time. I know it's a lot of questions.
