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
I've been working with an Olleh E250K in the US for a while. I had to unlock it and this worked for me.

Rooting it is hard though...

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

Hi, I hope this helps... I think you can flash at&t roms to shv e250s/l/k provided that you also flash JS kernel.
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

Hi, I have just purchased a LG G3 from Korea, its the LG F400S and it works fine, except the fact that I cant get into LG Smartworld app, well, I can get into it, it gives me the option of Korea location only, I am unable to change my location to UK in order for me to be able to understand it, how can I get around this, I have tried installing an .apk file but it wouldnt let me install, it said installation unsuccessful, does anyone have any idea on this, I would really appreciate your help on this.
Thanks in advance.

Same here
I also need to figure out how to get that working in english. I installed the VDTSuper light rom... Still no option in the LG smartworld app for any other regions.. just korean!
I then tried downloading it from their website directly, but they said my phone was unsupported!! I guess thats due to the rom.
If anyone knows how and has done it before, please share.
Cheers
It can be done, and used outside of Korea...
However the requirement is that you create an LG SmartWorld account that *thinks* you are in the Korean market. You will need access to a Korean cell phone number (as that is part of the registration process).
If anyone is visiting Korea on a rented Korean SIM, you might be able to activate it that way. I was fortunate enough to have some connections there who were kind enough to let me quickly borrow their phone # for the verification process.
After that, you should be able to login regardless of your physical location, as long as it thinks your account is Korean.
On the LG SmartWorld registration screen, it explicitly states (in Korean) that the service is only available there for now.
Hope this helps
Could this work with a vpn??? Set it to be in Korea or still need phone number from korea?

Not quite. The actual LG SmartWorld registration process requires you to enter in a Korean cell phone # to fully complete the registration. A Korean VPN would definitely help during registration, but you still need a valid Korean cell # to register. Most cell #'s there are 8 digits behind the "area code/region code" digits.
Thanks very much for the info, will try and getnanKorean cell number to do the registration, i will let you know how i get on

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?
Hey guys, I won a G4 trial edition (input jealousy here) and it's been great, but I am having issues with SmartWorld. When I try to download something, for instance a theme, it says my device is not supported. Has anyone else had this issue? Or maybe its just because I have the trial unit?
I also have a trial edition and am unable to install anything from Smartworld. Actually, United States isn't even an option for me to select either lol. I'm guessing because it's not officially release yet here?

I have the International H815 (recently purchased from reputable seller) and have the same issue. It seems that Smartworld detects the IMEI or model number and then doesn't even give an option for the US and I can't find any way around that.

i live in greece and had no problem to register.i just choose united kingdom.the trick for me was to give my google mail(.com) and not my yahoo mail(.gr).when you open the app through the phone go and choose a theme,the app will ask you to sign in but just under t there are 3 option.the one i choose was to create a new acount.then a screen popped out with region(europe,asia etc) i choose europe,after that united kingdom.i endered my google account and then a message came asking me to verify the account through my e-mail.just to inform you there tons of apps and things to see in there.i was 3 hours playing with this smartworld.
I registered my H815 for smart world using my gmail account ( I live in Ireland) and when I tried to download a theme it persistently comes up with "unsupported country". I've contacted LG customer support who replied quickly looking for me to confirm my imei, place of purchase etc then a day or so later another response saying how strange this is and that they have escalated the problem to tech dept but have heard nothing since..........The saga continues!
When (if) I receive any further information from LG I'll update here.
Cheers.

Same problem. Asks to log in before downloading. Then gives "unsupported country".
Any ideas guys?

I have H815 and I'm in Argentina. I brought my LG in USA; it's the international version. It's working perfectly fine, but the Smart World application does not have Argentina as a country option, so I cannot use it, which is strange anyway because the phone operators already offer the G4 in country...any though?

My G4 died on me due to the bootloop issue and, as of now, LG will not fix it since it's an international edition. I was able to get smartworld to work. I registered with a different e-mail address and chose a different country (I believe I chose Korea). I was sent the verification e-mail then went into smartworld and I could get fonts and everything else that was there. The only thing is that some of the menus are in Korean so I just clicked until I saw something I wanted.
