Is this true? i9000 Roms/Firmwares can be flashed onto the M250S/K?
How about NFC and DMB functions in M250S?
i9100. And yes.
They won't work. Unless you want to rip the app out and move it to the i9100 version.
Since you're in Korea with a phone i'm assuming you know enough Korean to navigate and sign up for this site.

Search for your model number: M250L
There's only been one firmware dump (the original) to my knowledge since this particular model isn't very popular. Use an insecure kernel to root first then flash the original kernel back when you've finished rooting.
You can find the original kernel on matpclub and an insecure kernel either here or on matpclub. Check the 'Development' subforum for more information.

Yea, i also need to know on how to root. I checked this thread, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399, but seem like the info pertain to non-Korean SGS2. I am not sure what is K2/K7 is? Couldn't find that in the phone info menu.
Any help?
You guys really need to learn how to navigate matpclub. All the required files are there. Just plug in your model number into the search bar and most likely there'll be stock firmwares, modified and stock kernels, among other things.
I've uploaded the files for the SHW-M250K here. Files for the M250K and M250L you can find on matpclub. I'll upload them somewhere when I get back home.

This will work for ALL versions:
BTW that kernel (same with all i9100 kernels) will most likely result in your phone going into a boot loop. To fix it you have to flash the kernel meant for your specific model; S, K or L.

This will work for ALL versions:
- Flash a rooting kernel; secure, insecure, results-in-a-boot-loop, it won't matter as long as you can get Superoneclick to successfully root your phone.
- Once you've done that, flash the stock samsung kernel for your model of phone and the same firmware number. If your firmware doesn't have a separate kernel released then you can flash an older one, it'll work but i'm not sure what side-effects it'll have.

Thanks.
just found some facts about Korean's SGS2. This sh!t blows!!!!!!!

Considering selling my Korean SGS2 and waiting for AT&T version or getting a European version
If you're not actually in Korea then having the Korean version isn't really a good idea.
All it has over the EU version is T-DMB and NFC. And a free battery?Having said that Australia's 3G networks are UMTS 850/900/2100 so i'm happy with just keeping mine, i'll have a slightly different awesome version to show off when I visit home.

29I WON'T TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU BRICKED YOU PHONE. DO AT YOUR OWN RISK
Tested ONLY on M250S/K
HOW TO CONVERT YOUR PHONE TO I9100
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). Something like 0:[COM3}
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.
NOTE:If you are experiencing any problems, do a full wipe or factory reset. I recommend doing this because you're converting your phone into a different phone
LOCKSCREEN AND POWER BUTTON ISSUES(Need to be Rooted):
For lockscreen and power options you can solve this prob by folllowing this
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

If you are not yet rooted, read the next steps
CONS:
1. Gyroscope not working or buggy(for others it is but for me it's fine. I can play asphalt with no difficulties)
2. Weak Vibration
3. Weak mobile signal or connection. Look for a diffirent modems. Try the one I attached at this post I9100_radio NELP2. Flash it using CWM. I'm currently using it and I don't experience any difficulties in mobile connection except of course if I'm on the comfort room or in mountains. LOL
4. No NFC capabalities (there's a fix for it; search for in the forums)
PROS:
1. You can now be at ease at the removal of the irritating 80sms character limitation
2. Your phone is the same as the international I9100. It basically does almost the same.
3. You can flash all I9100 roms and kernels(do at your own risk)
4. No Korean bloatware apps. Like t-map,t-store and the like
5. Rooting is a walk in the park.(easier and has more support)
If you can add more pros and cons, please leave a comment
ROOTING YOUR PHONE(I9100)
1. Download kernels like Siyah kernel or CF Kernel. If you use the CF-Kernel, be sure that the kernel you download is compatible with the firmware you are currently using. Link for Siyah http://goo.gl/RVSp4 Link for CF-root http://goo.gl/ehSbJ
2. Now go into download mode by pressing [Power+Voldown+home button at the same time]
3. Connect your phone through a usb cable to your pc.
4. Run ODIN(run as admin if using win7 or vista). Odin should read your device if there is a yellow signal on the upper right
5. It should look something like this: DO NOT TICK THE REPARTION
6. Now hit start and pray for luck
7. To check if you are successful, look for a supersu icon(the app with a pirate android) or just download the root checker in the play store.
8. Enjoy
NOTE: Flashing a custom kernel or rooting the device will result into a yellow warning sign when you boot your phone. This means you have flashed a kernel that is not officially made by samsung. Meaning you have void your warranty. I warn you.
ROOTING YOUR PHONE(SHW-M250*
1. Go download a pre-rooted firmware at http://goo.gl/yDrx3. Use google chrome to translate the page to Enligsh. Look for the (routing version). Be sure to download the correct firmware for your carrier. If you're using SHW-M250S, download SKT and KT if SHW-m250K.
2. Now go into download mode by pressing [Power+Voldown+home button at the same time]
3. Connect your phone through a usb cable to your pc

7. If successful, there should be an app that looks like an ndroid pirate. Click the first choice for root, Second for un-root, Third choice for restart.
8. Enjoy
REVERTING BACK TO SHW-m250* FROM AN I9100

2. Download the pit attached from this post. Use the m250k_pit(can work on both m250k and m250s)
3. Go to download mode by pressing [Power+Voldown+home button at the same time] then click the Vol up to confirm to go to download mode. There should be big Android in the center of the screen.

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

Download the appropriate Firmware for your phone model.
Open the page below and you will see a download link there.
M250K
Rooted KT Firmware
M250L
Rooted LGU+ Firmware
M250S
Rooted SKT Firmware
Download ODIN Here
Optional:
Download Samsung USB Drivers
The file you downloaded will be in a .tar file.
Don't extract it.
Run ODIN as administrator.
Now you will see this screen:
Click on PDA and select the file you have downloaded.
Turn OFF your phone.
Enter ODIN Mode (Press On while holding the VOLUME DOWN and MENU BUTTON)
(A Korean Text Warning will appear with an Exclamation triangle on the center bottom)
(Press the Volume Up to proceed to ODIN Mode)
Plug your phone to your pc.
You will see your ODIN interface change and will see that your phone is connected via 0:[COMXX]. Mine is on COM33
NOTE: If you are still on Gingerbread Firmware, you will see 0:[COMXX] and 1:[COMXX]. This is normal.
Make sure AUTO REBOOT is checked.
Press Start.
You will see the LOG on the lower left update.
Once Completed the phone will restart. Go through all the introductory settings.
Open your applications menu, and scroll through all the pages to find the app with SUPERUSER Logo;
The text is in Korean.
Open it and select the 2ND Option.
After that your phone is now rooted.
Note: If ODIN failed flashing, try using another USB PORT or another USB Cable. As much as possible use the Original Samsung Micro USB Cable.5
After spending some time on the roaming issue, I finally found a way to disable this pop up. Turns out that it s quite easy:
1. Download the app Anycut
2. Launch Anycut
3. Select " Create New Shortcut"
4. Select " Activity"
5. Roll down until you find and select "Roaming Auto Dial"
6. The new shortcut is created - exit Anycut.
7. Launch your new shortcut and disable Roaming Auto Dial.
Hope this help.
Cheers
