So here is what my Setings - about say : Baseband ver. I9100XXKD9 Kernel version 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKD9-CL138661se infra S EP - 41 #2 And build number Gingerbread.XXKD9 . I cant nowhere see the XXKD9 kernel version ^^ Wtf is that and the things that worryes me the moust is that when conecting to KIES , Clicking on GT-I9100 under the Firmware information it say " This version of device cannot be updated " . Whats going on pls if some developer knows ?

You'll find out your product code by entering *#272*INSERT YOUR IMEI#.
Find IMEI in Settings > About phone > Status.
Like i sed the phone is not avalible for sell in my country yet and i dont know where they got it for me ^^
When i enter the code with the imei i get this
Precunfig
Sales code XEO
an i can chose betwene Xeu, xeo , xef ,kor ,itv , dbt ,cpw and click instal ^^ Wtf is that ?
You mean preconfig?
I know your not fluent but at least try to be more specific when your copying things down, that way you can get the proper help.
It seems to me that the phone might have been for a store demo. Just my assumption.

Which is lucky because your question had nothing to do in the development section since you didn't actually develop anything.
As for your problem, I'd say update to KE1 via ODIN, and you'll be able to get the default KE1 kernel from here, but I'm kinda new on the SGS2 too so don't take my word for it and wait for more advice ^^
:/ sorry ppl like i sad my english is bad . I ment preconfig i misstyped . I didnt wanted to post i dev. cuz i developed something , i wanted po post a repley in developer section where they talk about root and ask what firmware is in mine phone cuz its rly strange and didnt know what back up kernel to use leater . And this is rly possible that the phone is a store demo , they got it from samsung if i understod there were just 2-3 of them and they were first phones in this country , the phone is working perfectly and everything , but that was strenge when i wanted to see whats my kernel and leater to back it up . So can i update in it the ke2 mby or something like that or that will **** up my phone ? I cant find nowhere this kernel in my phone , is there some way i can get it out from phone for beckup and if something go wrong i put it back again ? And that what i wanted to ask in first place , but i didnt know how to ask it actually :/ sorry again
Kies display this : Firmware information
This version of device cannot be updated.
Curent firmware version : PDA:KD9 / PHONE:KD9 / CSC:KD9 (XEO)
Is it possible to compare it HARDWARE-WISE to SGS2 that already has the latest software on it?
If all hardware components are the same 100% - forcing firmware installation should work.
I can't guarantee it though. Your own risk, your own research.
No sign of KD 9 firmware phone origins unknown .

Your sales code, XEO, suggests the phone originated from the Polish market.
Sent from my GT-I9000

Hi Frnds,
I am newbie in SGS2 Family i bought Samsung Galaxy S 2 and update my first firmware update with official update 2.3.4.
So my Latest firmware is : PDA:KI4 / PHONE:KI1 / CSC:KH1(DBT)
Now i want to update it with 2.3.6 or 2.3.7 as official firmware is taking to give update on my country and right now i m in india.
I don't know about which Rom m i have and what kernel i m using.
So kindly please please let any friend help me which kernel or rom should i upgrade with so ill be having latest firmware update on my SGS2 mobile.
Please pls help me.
If you updated via KIES, you have the stock Samsung ROM. You can see the kernel in settings -> about.
If you want something that isn't available from KIES, you have to flash a custom ROM, pick one from this list. I think the only one that is 2.3.7 is CM7 (and maybe MIUI), those are AOSP ROMs, a tad different from Samsung ROMs, so I wouldn't advise them for a newbie.
Other than this, please read around the forums, most of the questions were already answered, and no one likes lazy and stupid people asking lazy and stupid questions.

You can say people can be lazy but you guyz are so technically sound i can't understand that... that is reason i joint here to findout about what all this things are.. really...

Baseband : I9100XXKI1

Ok ill not go for 2.3.7 but can u pls pls help me from where i can download 2.3.6 kernel which is compatible with my phone as i have (DBT) version German.
Actually there are so many thread i just have confused what to download pls show me one way rest ill findout promise ....
Sorry if i broken any of forum rules.
thanks
At the moment for India there is no official 2.3.6/7 available and if you look at the firmware your phone has you will see that it has a german csc(DBT).The only way to get to what you want is to flash something like KK5 and then a custon ROM with a built-in multi-csc package that contains the csc for your region or one that would at least do the same job.XDA have INU as indias csc although a neighbouring countries csc will quite often do the same job.Seeing as your phone is on a german firmware(DBT) Kies will search for the latest german update unless you want to flash it.

Look in the development section. There you will find the things you want to know. Flashing roms involves risks, so you should start learning what everything means. It will save you a lot of problems.

Thanks.
Why do you want to update when you have just got a new phone ? You will hardly notice much, if anything, by updating. Use your phone as it is for a couple of weeks, find out what you like and what you don't like. In the mean time read about all these threads here regarding rooting, flashing methods, various ROM/themes etc.
Is it really that hard to find?

Actually bro i have lost my warranty card while traveling and it has local warranty.. so any way i didn't get any facility on such.
i heard in 2.3.6 battery life is much better and i have 2.3.4 which is relatively good but not enough if i play, browse battery not only stay a day..
So i thought to upgrade it...! Thanks

If you dont want to flash a custom ROM you could go to the link below and flash from the "Frankinstein" section at the bottom the KK5 firmware then factory reset your phone,boot to download again and flash the India ODD KF3 CSC from the csc section given at the bottom and then when its done you need to do another factory reset again.This will give you KK5 with your local csc.Thats what I did on KH3 here in Spain to get my csc(FOP).Take into mind that these are not without risks if you dont follow the rules of flashing.A nearby countries csc will also do the job just as well so flashing KK5 and then a custom ROM with a multi csc package is always a go but its your choice.KK5 with the csc flash will be more close to stock looking and custom ROMs bring more mods and themes.

Hello man!
[2 Questions, 1: get back stock rom]SOLVED maybe next time i better get peanut butter of my eyes first.. Thanks for talking about!
O2 German Ace S5830 stock rom PDA:XWKPY CSC:VIAKP1 BASEBAND:XWKP8 (found on sammobile, its the one from 1969...) flash first other multi-csc rom and set to VIA for future kies updates.
Get my ace a few days ago and flashed sth here and there without thinking about getting back to stock rom later. Had a HD2 some time ago where you get stock rom for all country and provider on htc homepage..
So im sitting here and want my ace back to out-of-box state but no rom ive found seems to be right. looked on sammobile.com, searched xda and at last tons of google results.
didnt know what the name of stock rom was.. only baseband XWKP8 which i only found on some russian site and that it was android 2.3.3. doestn want to try unless sbdy can say me its save..
Got my ace from O2 Germany without contract, so no simlock etc..
My intention is to get some o2 germany rom back, so i can update with kiez to latest. tried a lot of roms from sammobile, modified csc to DBT (germany) and VIA (should to be o2 germany csc code).
[2 Question unsolved]
Had problems with several ROMs with wifi / 3g network, couldnt activate/deactivate or wifi is not getting IP, need to reboot every time to fix that.. Which baseband is best for which rom / my country? (gingerbread, ics, etc...)
Maybe i am spoiled from HD2.. sry for that
PS[Maybe irrelevant: now flashing leaving EFS blank, seems to work fine too, dont know yet if better]: Something else.. Instructions for flashing rom with ODIN are confusing me, sbdy say dont touch PDA others say dont touch EFS. Flashed all the time not touching PDA, putting boot to boot, code to phone, csc to csc and modem to efs. Still have my IMEI so all right or just lucky? Read all the newbie guides (which were very confusing) imo i read sth about backup imei but i am not sure as if and how.
Hope you can help me, thanks for all guys reading and thinking about.
Hi, recently i've updated my sgs2 from android 2.3.3 to 2.3.5
this update is terrible, everything is screwed, apps fail to run, wifi connection is not possible (it never connects), it lags terribly and also all the interface was changed (really hate that blue scrolling thing)
some people say that 2.3.5 improves battery life, but i didnt notice any change, seriously
so i was thinking of going back to 2.3.3, which was awesome and i didnt have any problem with that, now i know im stupid that i used the kies update and i will never do that again
what do i need to do it?
iam from czech republic, so i was looking for some czech version of 2.3.3 on google and also on this forum but found nothing
i bought my phone from vodafone (not branded) does it affect my choice of possible firmware downloads?
thanks for any help!

Hi , i recently registered in Xda-developers cuz i found out some updates for my Galaxy S II.
So , my question is how do i know what firmware i have to update , there are a lot of firmwares and i don't know which to flash...
Another question , firmware update means that my android version will change to a newer one?
And finally , reading a lot of post about updating galaxy s II with Kies or Odin , i found that a lot of people had problems flashing the phone and that sincerely scares me.. I'm afraid of bricking my phone.
Anyways , there are my Galaxy S II information :
Version of android : 2.3.3
Bandbase : I9100XWKG1
Kernel : 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKG1
Clalabeltest_I9100XWKG1
Compilation : Gingerbread.XWKG1
Note: It's unbranded. Also i noticed that in the kies update at the enf of the new firmware information it says (ITV)
Can someone help me pls? :/
Check if it says i9100 under battery, not i9100G.
Learn how to use Odin to flash.
Than come back if you want help

Your phone is not Genuine is a clone because that imei is registred in database like Galaxy Grand Max G720AX.
That's probably why you cant flash firmware for Original phone!

Firts imei 357557/06/483373/1 which you have post is not the same like you said :
This imei is Right 352564/07/6980787
But your S/N S/N:R58G30EA7PA someone has marked as stolen or is wrong S/N.
But the thinks is that probably or your back glass is replaced or mainbord or your imei someone changed ...
Firmware for second imei is this one :
https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=00BF4040616411E7963AFA163EE8F90B
Make sure your batterry is more than 70 % and use Latest Version of odin .

i fixed my s6 edge sm-g925f and im sure this method will work for any device> The only problem is that you're not flashing the latest firmware, do you? yeah maybe you do but not the latest one what i mean then? let me tell you.. even if your previous firmware was example/ android 7.0 and installing 7.0 will fail why? answer: you need to go to sammobile [for example if your device is Samsung becasue sammobile is the best for samsung firmwares just make sure to download the firmware from there if your device is samsung } and check the date of firmware like the latest firmware location doesnt matter just downoad the latest one, you know what i mean right? for example you need android 7.0 you dont just have to download any 7.0 firmware, thats wrong you have to check the date of firmware and download the latest 7.0 firmware, thats it and i hope you fix your device asap cuz i know the feeling thanks for reading this and good luck !
