oldcarguy Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Hi I was given a little used Samsung S2 Galaxy , how can I add Thai to it ? its only has Android 4.1.2 and no simple way to update it , I just wanted to use it for Line , WhatsApp, WeChat Etc but I am not sure if Thai characters show up on the screen or just squares like my old flip phone ! its still in the USA but I would like to set it up before I leave Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtls2005 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 You could try flashing an official Samsung ROM, meant for Thailand? example: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s-/GT-I9100/THL/ There is no Thai option in the language settings? Have you tried a third-party Thai keyboard? What is the exact model number? What is the exact ROM? Is this phone "locked" on a U.S. carrier? Are you sure it will work in Thailand?

oldcarguy Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 its an AT+T model and I just ordered the unlock code off ebay SHG -I727 is the model number no idea what the Rom number is as its not shown , only a Kernal version the 3G bands are same as Thailand = Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtls2005 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Maybe SGH-I777? It may work in some locations, on certain providers here, on 3G 850? 2100? But most of that has been re-farmed to 4G/LTE. Seems like you'd be better off with a low-priced local phone? Asked again, for the last time: There is no Thai option in the language settings? Have you tried a third-party Thai keyboard So you haven't unlocked it, yet? You'll have to do a bit of research to figure out if you can flash an i9100 ROM. Some of these early AT&T models were unique variants. You should be able to display Thai characters, and using a third-party keyboard app. you can originate Thai characters.

oldcarguy Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 its a i727 , no pulldown for Thai no I will get unlock code in a day or so I think a 3rd party keyboard will work for input , but maybe not when I get SMS in Thai from True etc this does have LTE , but not the same as Thailans Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtls2005 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 OK, Skyrocket. Wow, that's an oldie. ca 2011. I wouldn't flash an i9100 ROM on that HW. 4G/LTE won't work here. For 3G, it may work in some locations, on certain providers here, on 3G 850? 2100? But most of that has been re-farmed to 4G/LTE. Seems like you'd be better off with a low-priced local phone? You can change provider's SMS language to English, although I think it should display Thai characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
