M250K to I9100 ROM

Hi! Is it necessary to tick Repartition when flashing M250K before converting to I9100 ROM? I tried to flash my phone using XWKF1 ROM (Philippines) clicking only PDA in Odin and the setup was a failure. Also, if I use that XWKF1 and add the .pit file for I9100, should I fill all those boxes (PDA, Bootloader, phone, CSC)? Because the ROM I downloaded only come as single image file.

Hope you can help me on this and thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S II General] kaizer216:
From what I did, yes. Tick re-partition when flashing to I9100 and fill only the PDA box. You can also try to remove the battery for maybe a minute and insert back then back to download mode. I used the DXLP7(Philippines rom too) and I've got no error while flashing.
[Galaxy S II General] reckyjo00:
M250K to I9100 ROM

Wow great! Aside from changing it to I9100, does the recovery mode also changed? Or should I install CWM? Any side effects on vibration and Gyro? By the way DXLP7 is ICS ROM Right?
[Galaxy S II General] kaizer216:
No, unless you flash a cfroot or any other kernels, there will be no changes on your recovery mode or you can just flash CWM but I suggest siyah kernel. :)

Yes, weak vibration is a common problem when flashing an I9100 kernel to our Korean Galaxy S2. It's so weak that I can't even feel it vibrating on my pocket and its quite annoying especially when I'm in class and waiting for an important text. As for the gyro, I have no problem at all, I think. I've been playing for hours games like asphalt 7, temple run and any other games that uses gyroscope and no problem at all. Yes, DXLP7 is an ICS rom but I'm using a custom rom currently.
[Galaxy S II General] reckyjo00:
Is it true that Korean S2 is not a quadband version? If so, even if we convert it to I9100 this doesn't help to make it quadband? This bothers me because sometime soon my brother will bring it to canada.
[Galaxy S II General] kaizer216:
As far as I know, yes, it is not a quadband version but I think it will work on Canada . The only problem is you will be getting a low G speed internet and cannot use 4G.
[Galaxy S II General] daWidoW:
a complete noob

I got a korean S2 very recently and using it in India, I wanted to convert it to I9100, so how does it exactly convert it to I9100? after the conversion will I have my stock ROM on, or do I need to flash that separately? and again which is a good ROM to install?
[Galaxy S II General] ronak_143:
I too have the same phone and i am using it in India.. Please could anybody tell which ROM to use for India and please can anybody tell the process in detail
[Galaxy S II General] kaizer216:

[Galaxy S II General] mubeenshahid:
gyroscope has some problem.it doesnt works well.Else all works fine in i9100 rom on m250s
[Galaxy S II General] ronak_143:
Which rom should i get for my phone? I9100 or I9100G ?? Can i use the Indian version ROM?

What is the use basically of a Gyroscope sensor??
[Galaxy S II General] jeffers727:
Do i need to use this PIT file each time i flash an i9100 ROM, or just for the first time?
[Galaxy S II General] mubeenshahid:
It is used for some motion applications and in some games like modern combat 3
[Galaxy S II General] ronak_143:
Which rom should i get for my phone?
[Galaxy S II General] kaizer216:
Yeah it's use for games or any other apps that need gyro. For me, I don't find any problem with my gyro. I can play games normally like I do before converting to i9100.

Flashed my M250S with GT-I9100

Thanks for all posts here, I managed to convert my Korean M250S into a GT-I9100, using ODIN.

The only problem that stayed was the "android.process.acore has stopped" issues, but that was solved with a Factory reset and wipe data action in recovery mode.

:good:
[Galaxy S II General] bulldozer1021:
thanks for the tips!!

i use m250s and the rom is cm10

i didn`t do any work for partition.

i never faced with any problems but i will follow your tips next time.
[Galaxy S II General] jhacard:
Please help!

I have a Samsung Galaxy M250s that is already converted to 2.3.5 S2. It says that the phone is working as I9100. I just want to know what process i should do to upgrade my phone to ICS.

Thanks

How can I convert my SHW-M25S 4.0.4 to I9100 4.0.4 without bricking it?
[Galaxy S II General] rhanji:
same prob as astral

Im really irritated with the sms limitation. Now my problen is, i have a rooted stock ics 4.0.4 and wanted to convert it to international philippine rom without having to risk my phone due to brickbug. Shw-m250s ics4.0.4 here
[Galaxy S II General] Kitschki:
if its only because of the sms limit, you may install go sms pro.
[Galaxy S II General] shindatuin:
i'm at ics m250s rom 4.0.4 rooted.. i fixed the sms problem by installing handscent

install handscent

open it. tick the menu button for "settings"

>message sending setting > uncheck the auto-convert sms to mms

problem save

but i'm gonna try i9100DXLPF from philippines globe telecom for custom rom purposes

maybe CM10 if possible
[Galaxy S II General] rhanji:
i dont know why but i cant send msgs using go sms or handcent Maybe there ir an incompatible app or something
[Galaxy S II General] shindatuin:
dont use the default message app of the korean s2. Because it has set to automatically convert sms msg to mms when it reached to 80 kilobytes. Better disable it in the application manager and let the handscent app be ur default msging app..

make sure to unckeck the automatic conversion to mms in message sending settings of handscent..

The steps are provided above...

If problems persist. Consult ur doctor ;)

the vibration issue after transformation

Good day guys ,

I have transformed a SHW-M250S into a GT I9100 which from what I understand is the reason for loosing the vibration strength.

Unfortunately i couldn't find a specific post directly related to this issue , only hints every here and there , some regarding playing around with the vibrator file in the sys. folder , but i don't know if this were device specific or not.

My device is rooted and i'm running 2.3.5.

Is there anyone who managed to get a fix for this ? i.e. flashing a different Kernel , etc. ?

Thank you for your time ! :D

Help!

I have converted two SHW-M250S to i9100 successfully.

But when i tried a SHW-M250K i ended up bricking it... I have followed the exact same steps. Flashed a i9100 ext 4 pit from your post on 2nd page.

Now the phone wont boot up even in standby, recovery or download mode. Before going black it showed my a colored screen(messed up colors) and went black. From then it never boot up. I know i can only take it to the Samsung care or get it JTAG'd (not know if its available in India, though).

On the back of shw m250k(beneath the battery) i saw something in korean and in parenthesis 3 things were written.

SHW-M250S(dont know what an "S" is doing in an "K" model)

SHW-M250K

SHW-M250K

I am just thinking that are these CSC,PDA,MODEM types???

My question what could have possible gone wrong???

Is there a difference b/w a SHW-M250S or SHW-M250K

Just for extra info i flashed a 4.0.4 version. (Propabily its the eMMO brick bug)

Is there anything that can be done besides taking it to the Samsung care or getting it JTAG'd.

Thanks In Advance

SHW-M250S

Good day to all! :) Can I use the procedures for SGS2 for my SHW-M250S? (I got it from my cousin who left it collecting dust after loosing interest in it) I couldn't really ask my cousin anything about he's too busy with med school stuff. So, yeah I'm left in the dark on how I'd figure out this phone, it seems that he converted it into GT-I9100 already because when it boots up it uses the GT-I9100 (though I don't know what is the boot up for an untouched SHW-M250S) and it's ICS (not sure if it's from samsung or leaked version or anything like that) and when I used it for the first few weeks everything went fine even the bluetooth, though after quite some time it actually had problems with bluetooth conncection. When I turn it on and send file from my laptop, during the middle of the file transfer it crashes and restarts, this cycle goes on and on as long as the bluetooth is on).

[Motorola Droid RAZR] hoopsgators:
So my droid razr updated today and it appears to have unrooted itself. I have tried running doomlord's unroot program followed by his root program to re-root my phone and it has failed. Additionally, some of the apps that come stock are not located in the apps menu anymore. Prior to the update, I used Titanium to freeze (not remove) these apps and neglected to unfreeze them before the update. These same apps cannot be unfrozen now because I don't have access to titanium because my phone has become unrooted. Please help. If you require more information, don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks in advance.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] superuser696:

This should be sticky or like placed in the top 5 spots or something where people are sure to read it.

This is true. Which is why its a caution / at your risk thing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
sound advice in this sticky. superwipe really gets the job done.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iloveandroid16:
um I think this is being a little over dramatic... plus there is another thread stating the current state of all ICS roms. I think this should be closed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ScreamingSkulls:
To add and not that it maybe required, after running super wipe a few times I have ran samsung_ultimate_kernel_cleaning_script_by_lippol94 which has given me almost perfect results with any ICS flash I have done.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] monkeypaws:
Here's my take on this. What's the first thing someone is going to be looking for when going to their phones section on xda? "Development" right? Now thnknof how many people, more specifically those with the xda app, go to "stickies" for information first?. My guess is not the majority. This thread is also clearly labeled as to what it is and is formatted so anyone can relate and understand. Therefore while I see that you think its the same I vouch it stays. Until we get our own version of ics we and the more bugs are fixed or found, this sticky would prove useful. It also keeps random questions or repeat questions out of from threads.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fuse1820:
The goal wasn't to be dramatic at all. There was no big issue and I'm not a topic cop...IDC what people post but to make it easier for everyone in general its nice to have a little primer.

But the idea is to purely be helpful. :) Not everybody who surfs these forums knows everything that's going on and its nice to have all the information in one place. You'll be surprised.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PJcastaldo:

I think it's great right here. Especially for those who are new, don't know how to search, are mentally slow on finding stuff. It's right here in your face when you walk into the Dev section.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ScreamingSkulls:
The post was appreciated, not for me but I know for some who are new as replied above. Many forget that there are people out there that are not as perfect as they are. Remember, you once were as newb as those who are (new) here. Treat others as you would wanted to be treated.

Although ICS is nice and I have had great results it's just so early in dev stages I must go back to the darkside. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] }{Alienz}{:
To clarify....cani use the skyrocket ics roms such as skyics and have working data? How? Someone here posted that they did.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PJcastaldo:
Yes, you can flash Skyrocket roms. I have flashed several of the ICS leak roms, and have not lost data connection. I just wipe and flash. No issues for me.. other than having to de-att it.

If you loose data then try a superwipe?

This thread, while informative, does make it seem like a "big deal " but it really just isn't. They are the same flipping phone!!! And now that one of our local geniuses have figured out the auto rotation issues, we are golden to share in all the SR ICS love

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fuse1820:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
I think alot of the issues people have which are common across many ICS leak based roms but that only a percent of users get are purely due to the way the rom was flashed. Clearly you dont need to do all the wipes but if you dont and you get one of these bad rom flashing bugs then dont complain to the dev.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gretschpr:

I think many of us are so used to using cmw, wipes etc, that we forgot what we did when we wanted to flash our first ROM, excited and wanting to do it quick we asked in dev section how to this and that, without reading all the posts. I still see questions being asked what is cmw, where do I get it, so

+1 to sticky

I was almost tempted to read all 300 posts plus and do the same.

FYI the search tool is not the greatest IMO, then again I dont use it very much. Yardek you should also add that newbies should read q&a for specific roms first in general section. :cool::D;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mafioso:
I think its time to update this thread, with all the recent development(s) on ICS ROMS :D

Also, I'd like to bring to notice of devs that A-GPS doesn't work or maybe not fully functional on ics roms yet...as the gps lock on ICS roms are take quite long when compared to GB roms, this also include hot starts (re-lock after some time after getting initial lock and then turning it off) which is normally < 10s. Also the locks are have large amount of error usually > 50m-100m. Note that this is not related to gps.conf, I'm pretty sure ICS GPS library are not reading the agps data(which speed up the lock).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TonyStunts:
I'm running Jim's megamix ICS and I don't have any problem with GPS. It locks in a matter of seconds. I didn't have a problem with it on GB either. You just need to make sure you have Google location service enabled and a 3g or 4g connection.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mafioso:
I already have enabled all that...although just FYI google location service has nothing to do with GPS lock, it only gives you a course position based on WiFi routers/hotspots around you, its more accurate compared to 3g/4g tower location triangulation but still not as accurate as actual GPS. You only obtain a GPS lock when the GPS icon on top bar stops flashing..

Best way to find out, if you are getting a lock or not is download GPS status program, it shows you number of satellites in view/no of locked ones...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] circuit.007:
Not that the case is that bad or anything but I dont think its worth it. I have the elago and this case. I feel that the elago has a much more tougher and sturdier back and would withstand a fall better. They look about the same but the slim one is indeed slimmer than the elago. The only reason i got the slim was because i wanted a little lip on the edge but that lip is way smaller than I thought. But ultimately my decision is based on price the slim case was like $30 while the elago was $12. So just a heads up to people thinking about buying any of these cases.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] clockcycle:
Nice thanks for your opinion. Have any pictures to share?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Budge:
