hi guys,samsung galaxy s2 was stolen, i made a report to the police, took it to tstt but they are saying that they cannot trace android. any advice?

That's a lie. A tuner had one stolen and recovered shortly after just the other day.

[Trini Hookah]

BTW isn't the i9000 the S 1 Dean?

DSM Plaza only has the cheaper models as well, not even the Beam remaining, and 2-3 wimmen just around the Samsung booth playing Fruit Ninja on their notes, 1jelly

[dean_spleen09]

meant the i9100

They can trace any device connected to their network, but they won't, only thing I can suggest is to try "Lookout plan B"

how did it happen?

[Trini Hookah]

Just came back from Digicel, they have to order some S2II's for next week. BUT they say it's locked to their network, as the rest of their phones.

lookout plan B? the number has been deactivated. the phone was purchased from bmobile. Once the thieves use another sim tstt can trace the device yes?

Same. using my s2 now

[Stephon.]

White is the better colour anyway and you get a pretty neat case with the phone so im happy

[M_2NR]

Damn, the Note from Digicel is 1500?!

I need to find out if I can change my order yes.. Note vs S3.. is the S3 worth 2500 more?

Probably that's the N7000 they selling and not the SGH?

Yeah it's the N7000. What's wrong with that?

Nothing wrong.
Just probably one of the reasons they can offer it so cheap.

Afaik for the note there is only the n7003 and the n7000 while the latter is better as it has the dual core chip

Refer to my post prior.
Check model number. If is gt-i9100 they dam lie.

If they add a lock to it, is just to flash it. Easy.

Dont worry bro. If it locked, I'll help u unlock it. Most likely digicel flashed a locked radio file in Odin before selling them. Which is sad because it is factory unlocked.

Friend of mine bought the S2 from Bmobile, however when he tried to update it to ICS it said that there were no updates available, either through the phone or Kies.

Contacted bmobile they said that the phone was not updateable to ICS at this moment.

Did a little research and found out that there is a some what scaled down version to the S2, which is the I-9100G, the normal S2 is the I-9100. Not sure if this is what TSTT is selling people but i remember a member on here saying that his cannot update to ICS either. (Check GSMArena to see spec difference)

Have anyone here had this issue as well?

[S_2NR]

@M_2NR: Yea. But u could just flash a new modem and it should unlock. May not need to do all that.

[M_2NR]

Plot thicken deh boy zaak.

Thanks S_2NR

Check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthr ... ?t=1679636

Official ICS firmwares for the I9100G

It uses OMAP instead of Exynos, few other internal differences.

CM10 is fully functional on OMAP I9100G whereas it isn't on the Exynos version, OMAP has it's advantages in terms of being more friendly to the open-source community.

Also locking a Samsung Android phone doesn't really make sense, there are apps on the market that can unlock the phone for you, easy as pie

Be careful there, that information seems very outdated, no need to use .pit files as they are not needed in the routine flashing of firmware, and if there is a glitch while the .pit is doing it's work, your phone is done.

@M_2NR: Yea. But u could just flash a new modem and it should unlock. May not need to do all that.

Phones are locked through software on the EFS partition, flashing different radio/modems doesn't do anything

So u have to flash everything? Word.
Thanks for that info.

We know it's outdated. That was just a general guide. I'm sure that was his intention.

For up to date info, xda wins.

Thanks guys
I'll know for sure next week.
My padna who has a locked i9100 on digicel confirmed its the i9100 he has.
