Your question has already been asked/answered in this thread. Bring your 外国人登録証明書 or other ID equivalent to what you need for signing up for a new contract (a bare passport is not acceptable) and 3150 yen.

i can exchange it for the international Galaxy s2 I9900

PM if you want
[Galaxy S II General] julroy67:
It is not so difficult. So here's how to make market think you have an SC-02C Galaxy SII.

First, you should backup your build.prop file (/system/build.prop to be exact), and backup your phone data, never be to sure of you.

Then you have to edit it, you will need a root explorer.

In this file, you replace the ro.build.fingerprint line. In my case I have as default :

ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/GT-I9100/GT-I9100:2.3.4/GINGERBREAD/XXKH3:user/release-keys

You have to change it to :

ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/SC-02C/SC-02C:2.3.3/GINGERBREAD/OMKF2:user/release-keys

Last steps : clean the Market cache and reboot (don't forget to use Market Enabler too). And that's it. The reverse steps to return to normal or flash.

And again, be sure to have backups in case, and don't touch the other lines if you don't know what you're doing.

If I bring the phone to Docomo to unlock it, and I bring it back to the US with me, which carriers will I be able to use in the US? I've heard only some use the correct signal or something. Sorry, kinda new to all this still.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
The SC-02C is UMTS band I/II/VI.

US carrier most likely to work would be AT&T. T-Mobile has a limited amount of band I coverage but most of their network is band IV.

hey guys

I’m planing on buy galaxy s2 from docomo but my friend already has one and it doesn’t support Arabic language so what I should do ?

if I install a rom that support the Arabic language on the galaxy well the tv app well be removed ?

can docomo stuff install the for me because this is my first android phone ?

and thank U for your time
[Galaxy S II General] clcwong:
I'm going to get a brand new one soon! A white one.

Just a question, if there a method to backup the stock images? Or do I backup after I put CWM in? And how to get the original recovery image if I need to?

Also, if I'm in UK using UK sim, how do I break into jp market? Or do I need a jp sim to activate the download from market?

also, I would have an extra officially unlocked one in UK to sell...white one..don't know if anyone want it? PM me

hello, Im a new user of Docomo SC-02C GS2, can u help me with something? I flashed a custo firmware and GPS doesnt seem to work, following the instruction in the forum, I can use GPS with custom firmware as long as keeping the stock baseband and kernel. But how do I keep the baseband as stock? I flashed the kernel OMKG5 but it only changed the kernel, not the baseband, how can I change the baseband back to OMKG5 then? Thanks a lot in advance:D

You also need to flash the modem.bin file

After installing that it kept hard locking my phone getting really hot and I would have to pull the battery. I went back to stock.
[Galaxy S II General] nakagusukumike:
Awesome! Thanks for posting, but when you say you went back to "stock" do you mean back to an actual stock kernel or you just went back to a stock clock speed while retaining the custom kernel.

THanks!
[Galaxy S II General] JuNyA8971:
That's interesting. I installed the kernel and have no such problems. It works flawlessy on my SGS.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Maybe I should wipe everything and try again? I'm still using the stock ROM though. Which are you using?
[Galaxy S II General] JuNyA8971:
I am on stock rom also and flashed with no wipe, but I previously was using an older kernel by the same person. Are you using SetCPU?
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
I installed set CPU after installing that kernel. But I also just realized my google music cache was using all of my internal storage. so that might have been it. Actually after clearing the space that kernel runs great

Can I not use set CPU? I haven't tried installing it again.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Correct way to load a ROM?

Can someone let me know the correct way to load a ROM using Heimdall?

I am trying to install Lite'ning Rom v6.1 but every time I do

heimdall flash --factoryfs factoryfs.img --modem modem.bin --kernel zImage

I just get stuck at the Docomo screen.

I was able to get back to stock by running

sudo heimdall flash --factoryfs factoryfs.img --cache cache.img --hidden hidden.img --modem modem.bin --param param.lfs --kernel zImage

with the stock image files. It seams I am missing something ...
[Galaxy S II General] JuNyA8971:
Yes you can use SetCPU. It is best to use it. I have been running this Kernel for 3 days and have now problems whatsoever. So nice to have OC on stock rom again.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Yea I'm using it now. I don't really care about overclocking but like to use it to save some battery.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Maybe I will just try a ROM that is CWM flash able and then reflash the kernel and baseband.

Has anyone tried DlevROM2 SGS2 Edition?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1237495
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
well I flashed this one and it is pretty dang sweet. We will see about battery life after I reset the statistics. For some reason it would not work with the most recent 1.6 ghz OC kernel it would hang on the boot animation. It runs great on the stock kernel and baseband but I really like having CWM recovery for backups.

Does anyone have a MKG5 kernel that has CWM Recovery installed or know how I can make one?
[Galaxy S II General] JuNyA8971:
Have you tried flashing the the OC kernel over the stock kernel?
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
I haven't tried that. I have tried flashing on top of the ROM kernel and then flashed the stock one. But not the OC one on top of the stock one.

Does it make a difference? I thought that it overwrites what is there.
[Galaxy S II General] JuNyA8971:
I just read that site where I got the OC Kernel to find that this kernel only works on the stock kernel of our SC-02C devices. You may want to try flashing the stock kernel on Custom Rom then flash the OC Kernel. I would try but I am in stock rom right now and debating which Custom Rom I want to use.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Thanks I'll try that tomorrow I'm trying to reset rge battery statistics right now so i don't want to plugin. Check out the rom I'm using it is pretty impressive.
[Galaxy S II General] JuNyA8971:
Yeah, I took a look at it and I think I am going to give that one a try when I get home from work. Then I will let you know how it went.:D

CWM 4.1 Question

Chainfire has this kernel listed but not tested to be used with CWM 4.1 - can anyone verify that the 'JP' designation in this kernel refers to the current Samsung/Docomo KG5 kernel?

It appears to me that getting root going with the CWM 4.1 from Chainfire would be the easiest way to get root.

Here is the filename that I cut and pasted here from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399	: CF-Root-SGS2_JP_XSG_KG5-v4.1-CWM4.zip

There is another one without the JP:

CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG5-v4.1-CWM4.zip

So not sure which to use if I try going this route. I am also curious as to why this method is not mentioned so much here - is it because all of chainfire's info goes for the I9000 model and not the SC02C that we have here?

Just some help here - I would really love to get this thing rooted and start checking out some roms for it like I did with my OG Droid.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
The JP here has no relation to Japan. Its the regional code for firmware distributed in the Middle East.
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
@evildave_666 - so the standard KG5 kernel should be ok to go with?

And doing this should not affect the seg-1 tv or anything like that because I am only changing the kernel and basically keeping everything else right? Sorry if these are stupid questions.
[Galaxy S II General] JuNyA8971:
Since you will be using a kernel from a different region you will lose 1 seg and GPS.
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
Damn, I thought that the one seg and gps were part of the rom and not the kernel. That means that I will have to figure out how to clear out the riff raff of this thread. Grrrrrr

How to Get back all in Original?

hello, Im a user of Docomo SC-02C GS2, can u help me?

I flashed a firmware of european model and now I lost the "Docomo" logo at the boot.

I think it is because I had flashed the file includes "boot.bin", and "sbl.bin".

Now I can flash the original firmware (from SC-02C_DCM_SC02COMKG5_SC02CDCMKG5_SC02COMKG5.exe) without problem.

This is the current Version on my phone:

PDA : SC02COMKG5

PHONE : SC-2COMKG5

CSC : SC02CDCMKG5

Build Info : Sat Jul 16 06:05:10 KST 2011

There is no problem to use the telefone.

But at the boot of the telefone, it shows "Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100". (Before was "Docomo" ....)

Can you tell me how to rebranding to a original docomo-logo (it maybe caused by european boot.bin??)

Thank you.

I've been in Philippines the last week. Using a local Smart SIM (15 days unlimited text all carriers, 120 voice minutes to Smart and 375mb of 3G data for equivalent of 550 yen).

Noticing that my battery usage is SIGNIFICANTLY lower here than in Japan, and I'm using the phone more (a lot of google maps, facebook, g+, foursquare). Is maintaining the 3G link to the tower on the voice side all of the time really that much more draining on the battery?

I dont know if this is helpful or not but I've asked the dev of Siyah Kernel to create a version for our beloved NTTdocomo SC-02c and he was very nice and supportive. He'd applied all the tweaks from his newest kernel to our OMKG5 kernel, you can check out here below the change log v1.5 with download link:D. Everything works flawlessly with great battery life, this supports init.d boot folder as well so u can get the most out of custom ROM, also OC, UC, UV is supported. Many thanks to him guys.

which file catagory do we put this file in under odin?
[Galaxy S II General] R3wt3d:
copy the necessary lib and apk OpenWnn.apk or like that.

u can find out which libs u need on google and adb logcat.

if ur lazy copy all libs that is not in ur roms lib folder but take care u have enough space. if u fill system full u will lose root access. su seg faults and only way to go back is reflashing /system partition.

sc02c has 612mb of /system, however Roms for 9100 is normally only 512MB.

Hey guys

Using two SC-02C will be able to rip the original kernel it seems.

in rooted sc-02c put Su superuser.apk etc into mmcblk0p9 (/system)

dump mmcblk0p9 (/system)

then convert it to Odin3 image

anxiously awaiting a few things:

1. stock complete image, ODIN flashable with everything.

2. stock ODIN image with stock kernel, root, stock baseband/GPS.

3. CWM flashable ZIP files for SC02C baseband/GPS for using after flashing a brewed ROM so our reception doesn't suck.
[Galaxy S II General] ManInCamo:
I'll wait here for someone with the time and skills to post up a ready made kernel /lazy

Hopefully one of you capable individuals will figure out the baseband and gps issues too. I hate having a "special" GS2.

Use this

The kernel image uploaded here will not destroy your baseband/gps/one-seg.
[Galaxy S II General] gaikokujin:
that is a great find. If I get it right, I just need to unzip and use the TAR file with Odin, choosing the file on PDA?
[Galaxy S II General] nakagusukumike:
if it's the 111684.zip file you're talking about, I tried to flash the contents of that file via ODIN yesterday and it left me with a red screen of death on my phone saying that it failed flashing. I had to ODIN to litening and then recovery.

Hoping to see some progress with root on stock kernel soon!....

Can someone PLEAAAAAASE send me their 2-6 partitions so I can rip apart the GPS and get it into a flashable zip? THANKS!!!

[Galaxy S II General] R3wt3d:
well

I flashed it aswell and it works fine, I got one reboot during installing app

I ripped /system and created factoryfs.img to burn with ODIN3.

you can flash with ODIN3 to your stock SC-02C and get root access with su.

I can share you stock Kernel image if you need.

Could be that you do not have stock SC-02C?
[Galaxy S II General] nakagusukumike:
Could you please share all that you have, that would be awesome!!

Yeah my phone is no longer stock, it's an SC02C that I rooted, flashed cognition on, lost my SC02C baseband, put the baseband back, ODIN'd to litening, etc.. etc.. I've got no backup of my stock rom or kernel :(

I'd like to figure out a way to run the rom of the day, while keeping stock kernel, stock baseband and having root.
[Galaxy S II General] dejanet:
It would be nice if you could share both the kernel and the system image so some of us early rooters could make a brief stop at near stock. I ripped most of the docomo stuff out after rooting and now I wish that I had backed it up first.
