hey guys, like most of you, i've been waiting for this update eagerly. i'd like to install the nordic generic FW in order to be able to update to 2.1 but i'm unsure as to what it will affect on my phone, if anything.
i'm from South Africa and i'd like to know if using the nordic firmware will affect my network access (to MTN South Africa) or anything else that might change after i install the nordic FW. any assistance will be highly appreciated.

Not sure why you couldn't have read, and posted here - X10 R2BA026 Nordic Flashtool
i will like you to share my knowledge regarding returning back to own country firmware from the nordic 2.1
first of all download the bin4ry update tool and firmware but not any firmware but 1.6 firmware
downgrade your firmware from 2.1 nordic to 1.6 any countries firmware should work
then change the value of build.prop to your orginal handset value or your choice value.for more information about the value you can search blog
then try to update it with seus. if it say you have latest firmware then repair it with seus and if seus dont give option for repair then use pc companion .
if you are lucky then you will get the latest firmware or downgrade your firmware to your choice of firmware and that is great for now cauz if there is any update for your choice of firmware then you will get update so need to wait for while
i know this work cauz i have done this by first of all i was using nordic 2.1 thou my orginal firmware is uk generic then i downgrade my firmware to netherland 1.6 and then i change the value/replace it with my orginal build.prop and now this mornign i repair my phone with seus and it is working like acharm 2.1 ..hurry guys ...
i have included my build.prop 1.6 so this should work for each and every one
Thanks for share.
I dit it myself with my original italian firmware few days ago. Now, i'm trying to decrypt my original firmware. I've seen a tool here. Do you remember that?

Use the NL one in the link above, root the phone using Androot, copy the build.prop from the first post to /system/usr and replace the old one, then open PC Companion while your phone is connected and click update.
Hi @all,
i am looking for the 1.6 German Firmware, i would go back from 2.1 because i have now problems with my bluetooth hands free
Thanks badboybiky and Skeldave.
Had to downgrade back to 1.6 because 3G wasn't working on SG version of 2.1

i also had the same problem before i figure this out. all i did is flash my firmware using bin4ry update tool provided in forum.its very easy.hope this help.for link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826455 .all credit goes to bin4ry
A lot of people including myself have the problem with 2.1 where we cant send text messages longer than a single text.
But it says here that vodafone have worked with SE to fix the issue and have released an updated 2.1 firmware.
Is this firmware available yet for flashing? if it is where can i download it?
It tells you in the link you posted. Update/Repair using PC Companion.
But i have a rooted and unbranded phone with the nordic firmware. If i was to try and update i'd imagine PCC would not detect a vodafone firmware and not update to it... or that would not matter if SE have fixed all firmwares and not just done a vodafone fix, does anyone know? would PCC even work correctly with a flashed phone?

Sorry, from your OP it sounded like you were on vodaphone firmware already. The easiest way to flash it back to vodaphone is by the CDA change method as you are rooted.
see here:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824711
you will need to change the codes to 1234-4579
Although as you were having problems with it on nordic firmware it would say to me that its not a firmware issue, more likely a network one but i'm no expert.
also, probably worth you keeping an eye on this thread, and PM Jeff-SEAnswers ...

Thanks mate
I dont think it's a network issue because other people have the same problem on all kinds of networks and in different countries.
I have a vodafone SIM but i've always had a unlocked/unbranded phone... what would happen if i tried to use PCC to put the new firmware on my phone without flashing back to my phones original firmware? and are all UK firmwares the same or would this one with the fix be specifically for vodafone?

Using the above method I linked to would install the newest Vodafone firmware (ie. The 'fixed' one in your link). It doesn't matter what firmware you are currently on. No, all UK firmwares are different, some will come with provider settings preinstalled, specific apps or features enabled/disabled depending on network. If you don't want to go back to branded try flashing to generic UK 2.1 using flash tool, thats what i'm on and I never had any text problems.
Think i'll just try flashing to the firmware you use and see if that fixes it... could you link me to the UK firmware you used? Cheers again!

X10i Generic UK - http://www.multiupload.com/TVLQVFW4OA
just put the files in the 'firmware' folder of flashtool then run it.
I see the X10 is getting an update to 2.3 my question is I have a custom rom for 2.1 and am wandering if pc companion will update it or if i will have to debrand and reflash to old stock att 1.6 to get the newest update
First, you will not get the update running AT&T branded firmware. You need to be running the 2.1 generic firmware that gets the update. There are different theories on what regions/kits will get the update first. Global Generic is my guess, but unknown13x says Europe first.
Basically, don't do anything till the update is released. It's all speculative at this point.
Btw, all the gingerbread info is in the "sticky" thread at the top of the general section. Look there for future info, as this thread may get closed by mods.
For those who are running AT&T branded 2.1 or 1.6 firmware, here is a step by step guide for unbranding to global generic 2.1.A.0.435, which will get the official 2.3.3 Gingerbread update directly from PC Companion or SEUS when available......

Sorry to burst your bubble, but AT&T will NOT be updating the X10.
They are ONLY updating phones released in 2011 to Gingerbread.

Update it yourself:
I'm really really sorry, but I'm a newbie to the SGS2, having switched over from Moto a day ago, so I'm not sure if this question has been asked before. I have used the search bar, but I couldn't quite find any results.
Okay, so my question is, what is the latest official firmware update available for the SGS2? I've heard that some phones have 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 after an update. I've tried updating the phone with Kies and I'm at 2.3.3 and the build is KI2.
Currently I'm not too comfortable with rooting and flashing a new rom, so I'm sticking with stock for the moment.
It depends on your region.

Official somewhere between KF3 and KI8 as said depends upon your phone and what's been released for it .

And India is the first to NOT get an update.
@OP- It's XWKI8 for NEE region and XXKI3 for other regions. Pick your choice and flash one if you don't get the official update from Crapsung.
