And now, a question for you as I will be traveling to Korea for an extended period soon. I think that Korea doesn't use SIM cards as their system is CDMA. How do you get local (Korean) phone service on the Hermes?
Thanks.

Which ROM and radio version are you using?
Do you use software to translate SMS to Korean?

I'm used Qtek latest verion rom. and SMS use standard outlook.
language use korean translate software in 'Diotek' diopen
this program is complite support.
what is problem....
I have Diopen, let me try a few things.
Have you tried this software? http://www.soft32.com/download_166751.html I think it works better than Diopen. You might want to download the trial and see how it works. I think your problem is that the phone isn't recognizing the font's sent from a Korean handset. Do you know anyone else with a Hermes there?
Did you get your issue fixed?
I'm using 'effy 4'(http://www.timespace21.co.kr/) for viewing Korean and Chinese...
sill few problem:
1. in media player, some letters wouldn't show
2. viewing SMS in chinese does work but not for sending
I havn't tried for Korean SMS.
One question: If when I go back to Korea, what do I have to do to use hermes in Korea? I use LGTelecom. Does that also work?
Still unsolved...
I'm using latest HTC Qtek Rom on Japanese Softbank X01HT and trying to resolve Korean SMS problem.
As suggested, I installed Effy-Korean 4.0 and Diopen 6.0 but didn't go through it. When I try to send an SMS to my X01HT, it seems like acknowledge the arrival of SMS (awakening from sleep status) but didn’t make any further movement, such as SMS arrival sound or top notification.
In addition, if I compose an SMS with X01HT and send it to my X01HT, doesn’t matter what I use for Korean input apps, it clearly work well both Korean and English SMSs.
One cell phone expert said that Korean mobile providers only using a certain Korean character set for SMS not Unicode or standard Korean characters.
Therefore, to use Korean SMS on foreign OS systems, using Korean OS or using Korean IME, I guess.
Is there any better solution for this? Chao.
hi;
need help with my htc s621, was using it in Vancouver/ Canada;
couple of mounts ago used a service here to unlock it and was able to use it in Iran while I am staying;but with some problem;
on regional/Locale there is no Iran in the country list, there is problem that I think it is related to it;
when I make a call using the keypad, the call will be ended so it won't make a call, but if i save the number into the phone book and call the number from there; then it works, to mention that I changed the locale to Sweden, because this way at least i can make a call from phone book, and when I get a call can not return the all using the number, because it will add the country code to the number, so I have to enter into phone book and remove the country code then be able to use it.
anyway I can make this work?
some kind of ROM update ?
I have searched many local shops here, but there are other models of htc around but not excalibur to get some help;
appreciate any help;
Welcome to forums
have a deep read here:

Reflashing to a newer ROM could help your problem (which I don´t understand quite well)
Good luck,

Hi,
I am also in Vancouver although my phone is a T-Mobile Dash that I got on eBay. You really have a different problem here. I assume that you are using an Iranian SIM card when in Iran and not your Rogers/Fido SIM.
Another guy I work with has a Rogers s621 and even though I unlocked and flashed his ROM for him (originally to the Kavanna 6.1 and now to the EVO 6.5 ROM) he had trouble on trips to China with his China Mobile SIM which itself needed to be unlocked to use it. He ended up buying a phone over there instead.
I assume you are still using the Rogers 6.0 ROM, which is better than the T-Mobile but far behind either of the two I listed above. I would flash to Ookba's 3VO ROM, it is really great and runs beautifully. But follow the direction to the letter, don't skip any steps. I have no idea if it will solve your particular problem, but even if it won't you'll be a lot happier with the phone using it here in BC.
Here is the link to the ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523718
Thanks for the replies guys;
I will do some reading and will upgrade to see if it will become better or not;
yes I still have the Rogers 6.0 ROM; and use an Iranian SIM card;
I wonder if I upgrade and then some problem occurs is it possible to downgrade to what I have, perhaps a way to backup the ROM I have.
Thanks
As long as you follow the instructions on my previous post al should be ok, but in case it fails you can always go back and install another ROM, but believe me if you install any new ROM (6.1 or 6.5) you´ll be so happy that you won´t want to go back
OK;
I did install the new ROM (EVO 6.5 ROM);
it is very nice, I like it but the name of my country Iran is missing in this version also,
by the way I believe this ROM is application unlocked, I wonder why I can not install any application on it;
I searched online and found couple of free apps fo wm 6.5 but it won't be installed. I have not got any error or something.
some of the apps will go half and some up to the end but I don't find it anywhere.
any idea why?
if anyone has installed an application on htc s621 using same ROM please provide a name and a link to download if possible.
appreciate your help.

I don't know if this will help, or whether you have already tried it. You would probably have to do this while in Iran with the Iranian SIM card in the phone. Try entering your settings menu, All Settings > Phone > More > Networks > Menu > Preferred Networks. Scroll down to see if your Iranian network is shown with all the other international choices.
I have no idea how this list is generated, I assume it is by Rogers/Fido here in Vancouver. But you may have a political problem on your hands rather than technical. Are the sanctions against Iran reaching to some organization of cellular providers and the Iranian carriers are being blocked by them from being on the list? I don't know the answer, you would know a lot more about what is restricted in Iran (from within or without) than I would.
In any case, good luck.
OK; Here is what append with my phone;
I upgraded to 3VOLUTION series to see if the dialing problem will be solved or not, everything was OK after installation no errors or something, but as for the calling, as my phone had problem calling out using keypad, now this time after upgrading to wm6.5 my phone could not dial from phone book either,
so practically useless phone, it could only receive calls.
I searched for a solution online , did not find any answer, looked around phone shops here in my city, until I found a guy that said he can make it work, he had a box so in less than 20 minutes did something and phone start working properly, I can make a call from keypad and phone book no problem,
and in the location status the country of Iran is not listed either I am not sure what he did using the box.
I did asked the guy if I upgrade or downgrade WM can the same thing happen again, he was not sure.
I am thinking of downgrading to 6.1 since there are not much application found for 6.5.
but I don't want to pay the guy again for the same thing.
does anyone know of this things?
what he actually did with the box that can not be done without it?
appreciate any help
Hey Guys..
I recently purchased an SHV-E250K phone from Korean.
Everytime i boot it up, it shows that Olleh Logo, instead of the samsung logo
Looking around i found out that it is "still locked by a contract for one of the korean mobile providers"
I dont know if thats try or not, but some apps that i have on my phone, still display korean language, even though i was able to change the default language and keyboard to English US
I currently live in the Netherlands, so when i try and access my voicemail from the Dialpad, the icon of the tape or wheel (or whatever u call it) next to the number 1, is not there. So when i keep pressing the number 1 button, it asks me to create a speed dial shortcut thing. I know it should ask me to enter my VM number, but it doesnt in my case
In relation to that, when i receive a call, and i reject the call, it automatically hangs up on the caller, not forward the caller to my VM
i have been struggeling with this for almost a month now (since i got the phone), i even emailed samsung support in Korea, they cant help.
I was able to root the phone successfully, no issues there, and i was able to install triangle away, and all that good stuff, but for the life of me, i cant find anywhere to fix the issue that i have.
i am really desperate to get this fixed, so any help on how to get rid of this whole crappy OLLEH thing on my phone, i would greatly apprecaite it.
thanks
Thanks

Thanks for the info. But what I found out is that the phone was already unlocked, just it had that olleh stupid rom that displayed their logo at boot up. I managed to get rid of it by installing another rom. But the issue still is that I cant reject calls and get them to vm. Instead it hangs up on the caller. Still reaserching a solution for that.
Does urs do the same?

Have you solved this yet?
When you root your device you can change it to anything you want. it's call Bootloader Animation.
There are some apps on the Play Store that will do this, and some guides online for how to make your own.
I changed mine to the game Portal boot animation instead of the olleh logo.
I, on the other hand, am in the situation you thought you were in. I have a Note 2 SHV-E250K that is SIM locked, and I need it unlocked before I leave for the USA (in 2 months from now).
any ideas on how to do this?

I tried your link, but it seems to be non-existent now. I also searched on the unlocksamsungonline site, as well as others, and I cannot seem to find the Note ii Korean olleh model on any of them. And sorry to contradict you, but I found rooting it to be very easy with CF Auto Root.
Might you or anyone else have some suggestions or advice for how I can Unlock the SIM and whatever else I need to do to prepare my Note2 for use in the USA?
Thank you in advance!

hey man..
no I have not solved it yet.. still with the VM issue, everything else is working/fixed
when I bought by phone from Korea, it was already unlocked, so unlocking this baby would be out of my knowledge.. sorry man
I heard though.. the K model, like urs and mine, are the most difficult to unlock in comparison to the S and the L
on a side note.. do they sell over there the digitizer and screen for the K model?
thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by digitizer, nor which location? from fixing a friend's iPhone, i remember that term being used for screens, which was her (my friend's) issue. I did a google search, and the wacom S-Pen came up it digitizer as well. If you are talking about Korea as the location, and the digitizer is, or it for S-Pen? then yes. a replacement for a cracked screen? I'm 99% sure they do. Screen protector? of course. if it was made for the samusng phone, it can easily be found in Korea at both the samsung service centers and the private fixing shops.
As for your boot animation logo;
Is your phone rooted?
- if yes, then download a Boot Animation app from google Play store, and choose one you like. most of the apps will work automatically. the samsung file system is slightly different than other android phones, so consistency is not guaranteed.
- if still yes, a second alternative is to make and inject a boot animation yourself. this guide should help get you started http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971828
-if no, then get it rooted so you can do these things. CF Auto Root worked best for me. find your device model here http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ download the .tar and flash with Odin.
assuming you are in the USA, do you think an AT&T store or Sprint or (etc...) can unlock it for me when I arrive?

location I am referring to, you are in seoul
Digitizer, is what every phone has.. you have the screen, and right below it is the digitizer. For our phones, if you will replace the screen, you would have to replace the digitizer also (which normally are glued together)
my screen is cracked, and I need the screen with the digitizer. The Samsung repair place her say they don't have the digitzer/screen for my phone because the K model has the tv antenna, and it is only for the Korean model. The European model (I live in the Netherlands) does not have that antenna
as for the bootanimation.. that was fixed long time ago.. it was part of the ROM.. Stupid Olleh company added it as part of the ROM
So that got fixed, I now have the stock Samsung bootanimation, and the ROM is all English, nothing is Korean. Except that my phone is Korean
The issue I am having still is the voicemail forward when I reject the call.
I tried everything.. but that's cool.. I am getting close of finding a resolution to fix this issue.. That's why I waited that long and search all over this forum until I found a lot of answers to my questions, including for the issue that I am having
in regards to the digitizer/screen
they told me here that the only way is to get that kit from korea.. is there a way for you (since you are in Seoul) to find out for me please which place has those and if they would ship internationally ?
Thanks

Ah ok, I fully understand now.
Sorry I'm unsure of how to get the voicemail to work... I'm usually good at those kinds of things, but I haven't needed voicemail here, so i have yet to experience that...
Yes there are many locations that sell the screen and digitizer, shipping internationally is the hard part...
I think one of your best options would be to checkout a website called GMarket (korean version of amazon, has an english translation) im pretty sure they ship internationally, some of it is still in korean... you might need the help of a korean.
Another one is auction.co.kr but this one is all on korean last time i saw it.
Next time i head to an electronics market here, i'll ask for you and post back here if they can ship it to you.
thank you.. I will try those site, and I appreciate it if you can please, about checking an electronic store, or even a Samsung repair center.. just to make sure to get an original part for the phone, if you know what I mean
thanks

I can't post the link, but you can go ahead and google it.

not just the sj kernel, but you CANT flash the modem, otherwise you will brick the phone.. so you would need to choose NO for modem

Good evening all,
I have a friend who possesses a T Mobile Galaxy S4. He purchased this phone while he was on onsite assignment in USA.
Now he's come back to India and he's using this phone here.
The issue with his phone is, whenever he tries to download regional apps (Indian apps like Tata Sky, mIndicator etc.), play store does not allow him to download and he receives the same message that everyone else who try to download US specific apps from non US locations.
Could anyone let me know whether the issue is with hardware or Google Account?
If the issue is with Google Account, could you please tell me how to get rid of this issue?
PS: He is also planning to flash CM11 and asked me for help. Do I need to unlock the bootloader of TMo GS4 before flashing CM11 or Paranoid Android?

I can't help you on the regional apps, but as the bootloader goes; it isn't locked in the first place regardless of what Android version you're on.

The issue is similar to what non US users face when they try to download US specific apps. Just in reverse.
Is there any option in Google Account details that needs changing?
