[Q] newbie assistance needed.... please - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Newbie here... Really need help. I just bought the samsung galaxy phone and found out that I got the Korean version. I got a korean text input, lots of korean apps, and korean ring tones. Is there a way to change the version of the phone to like an all english one? I've read in some forums that this is not possible with the korean version and i'd like to get more expert opinions...
Hope someone could help me. Not that really technical so please just use simple terms
Btw, when I check *#1234#
It says:
PDA: M110S.DG23.1409
PHONE: M110S.DG24.0131.ST
H/W: REV0.8
MOVINAND: DF29
Thanks in advance for any help!...

In the
"Samsung Galaxy S I9000" >>> "Galaxy S I9000 Android Development"
Section of this forum, there is a Topic called
[REF] BIG FAQ! {Flash/Root HOWTO} {ADB&Tutorials} {T&T} {FW-Guide} [MUST READ!]
Look @ answer C7 of the BIG FAQ!
There is a reason there is a FAQ you know

Well, yeah.. I've read that one...
[REF on C7] Check your current ROM by dialing *#1234# to make sure you do not have a Korean variant of the phone (which is NOT compatible!).
[REF on my post] I've read in some forums that this is not possible with the korean version and i'd like to get more expert opinions...
I have a korean version of the phone, hence I was asking if there is another way or some ROM available for korean variants
Thanks though as you were the only one who replied

I didnt read it, but may this topic is something to look @ in the forum

hi ive been offered a Galaxy-S m110s , from the looks of it is a Korean i9000 but i just would like to know if theres anything a bit dodgy that might not work with it when using it outside korea, i travel to Asia and Uk often ?
I would root it and install custom Rom anyway - if at all possible on this device
does anyone know anything about it ?
ps. read the previous posts on the m110s but didnt say anything about if can use the same clockwork recovery and roms as the i9000 - thanks

I beg to differ...all Galaxy S aren't the same, there are several models and at the moment you can't flash the international version of the firmware (i9000) on a M110S.
Beside there are a few differences in hardware: M110S doesn't have video output but does have DVB.

Thanks, a few more Q's
would not being able to flash the international firmware affect, flashing a recovery and trying out the roms in the development section here ?
if i cant flash the i9000 firmware would that mean i cant change the language to english and other settings are korean?
whats DVB ?
sorry newbie to this M110s, i dont want to buy it if its gonna cause me troubles, i can buy the i9000 model on ebay for the same price in the uk, the M110s was just offered to me cheap , very cheap infact so im a bit dubious as to why this guy is selling it so cheap !
Thanks
can anybody help with my last few questions posted above ?
There's a thread on the anycall galaxy s in the general section. It's freaking massive though.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
You can freely change the language to Korean or English.
No other languages are available and there are a couple of customizations in the phone and sms applications.
I've been unable to find a clockworkmod recovery for this specific model, so if you do let me know.
I'm actually using the Nakyup firmware taken from people.sarang.net
You can use vodoo kernel for m110s in order to get CWM capable

[Q] How to upgrade SHW-M110S (Korean Galaxy S)?

Hi everyone, I have a Korean-type Galaxy S phone here that I want upgraded to at least gingerbread. However, the only problem is I can't seem to find a firmware list ANYWHERE i look. I've googled it, I've looked for threads here on XDA, and I've also checked other websites and I still can't find anything. Please point me in the right direction, or give me any information or advice. Thanks!

[Q] Using GT-N7000 software for GT-I9220?

Hi everybody,
I just received a used Galaxy Note model GT-I9220 from a family friend who bought it in China (I'm from the US). I would like to root it and replace it with an operating system of my choice. The problem is, I don't see anything on the XDA Developers site about this model, as it seems to be specific to China. I've googled a little bit, and I'm getting conflicting information about whether or not I can use the same tools as for the N7000.
My precise specs are:
Model number: GT_I9220
Android version: 4.0.9
Baseband version: I9220DDKL1
Kernel version: [email protected]#2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XXKL3
I know absolutely nothing about using Android, the process of rooting, or anything in-between. I would like to use the guides on this site, but it would be nice to know whether or not any of it is even relevant to my Galaxy note model. Thanks in advance!
Hi,
As far as I know, the i9220 is the same as the N7000, you can flash N7000 firmwares on I9220.
Make a search in n7000 section with "i9220", you'll get more affirmative answers.
Then, I suggest you to consult the stickied threads made by dr.ketan in these sections, you'll find every guide you need.
Finally, next time you have a question, post it in the Q&A section
