I was looking for a procedure to backup my italian ROM.

Are these carrier firmware? Neither of them are on the firmware server.
EDIT: Vanessa I'm downloading your version now. Will link it in the dev forum.

anyone have a link or instructions on how to backup stock rom? I want to back up my stock rom before i root/update it. This is a precaution if i need to return it back for warranty purposes.
thanks

Hi,
It looks like the *#1234# method does not always show the real version of the firmware that is installed.
To get detailed data you have to install Kies_2.0.0.11044_11_3.exe which you can find here:
http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as
Or directly here:
http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...5/20110521192620273/Kies_2.0.0.11044_11_3.exe
After you install it you have to start it up and connect your SG2.
Please wait until Kies connects successfully.
Now you have to open/run regedit (e.g. "Windows-Key" + "R" to open run dialog and then type "regedit").
Go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\1".
Here you will find the "HIDSWVER" key with the original versions.
The "ProductCode" key is also important in order to help Intratech to get the original Brand ROM.
For example this is the information you should send Intratech when asking for ROMs:
Carrier: Entel PCS Chile
*#1234#
PDA: I9100UHKD7
PHONE: I9100UHKD7

"ProductCode"="GT-I9100LKLCHE"

Do it yourself:
On the other hand you can do it also by yourself using "Check Fus Downloader" from LuffarJoh:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032437
Here you can find the executable:
http://fus.nanzen.se/
Or directly here:
http://www.nanzen.se/download.php?id=9
You have to copy the FusCipherUtil.dll from your Kies installation (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\FusCipherUtil.dll ) to the same directory as the "Check Fus Downloader".
Then you have to run "Check Fus Downloader" and set the following in the "Firmware Info" section for the above Entel PCS Chile example:
Product Code: GT-I9100LKLCHE
PDA: I9100UHKE1
CSC: I9100CHEKE1
Phone: I9100UHKE1
In the "Choose a firmware" section you have to select "GT-I9100".
Then click the "Check firmware" button.
In the example test case you will see a successful message in the "Result" section that offers you a "Download this firmware" button.

For some reason 3 Austria have not authorised the release of the firmware on FUS so it's now available to download.

Can you tell me if this firmware is anywhere available -/ should be a non-branded EU FW, isnt it?

[Q] CSC issue after ROM upgrade

Hi,
I'm new to Android and Galaxy S2. My phone was purchased in Spain from Vodafone.
I have just upgraded my ROM as per Intratech's guide (thanks by the way for the nice gude). The upgrade went good but after upgrae Kies shows the old CSC and says it can't update. Is this expected? I thought the CSC was supposed to change to the generic one.
I used ROM XWKE7 from the guide. After upgrade I get the following:
Doing *#1234#, I get:
PDA: I9100XWKE7
PHONE: I9100XXKE4
CSC: I9100XEUKD1
Doing *#272*<your IMEI>#, I get
ATL
In Kies it shows:
PDA: KE7 / PHONE: KE4 / CSC:KD1(ATL)
- Can someone please clarify?
- I'd also like to know if after this I still have to do something else to unlock the phone to use with a different provider.
- I was hoping to leave the phone as unbranded so future updates will be picked up through Kies.
Thanks in advance for your help.

[Q] Check Fus GT-i9100

Hey there everyone.
First of all, thanks for taking the time to help me with my minor issue.
Recently i used Check Fus and Odin 3 v1.85 to restore my GT-i9100 to stock.
This worked appart from a minor issue i am having with Samsung Kies 2.0
In my phone, my kernel version returned to [email protected]#2 (what is was before i rooted)
The baseband version is:I9100BOKD1
But the problem is, when i connect to KIES and i look at the firmware tab, it is showing complications.
This is what it says:
This device can not be updated.
Firmware Version: PDA: KE3 PHONE: KD1 CSC: KE3(kor)
Did i do something wrong?
Kies only updates if their is a later version on the server for your product code .
jje
So does that mean that the firmware listed in kies PDA: KE3 PHONE: KD1 CSC: KE3(kor) is the latest?
this is what i entered in Check Fus:
Product Code: GT-I9100HKDTNL
PDA: I9100BOKE3
CSC: I9100TNLKE3
Phone: I9100BOKD1
(Or am i because of my limited experience, seeing a problem where there is none? )
Thanks in advance ^^
KE7 latest for that info .
Not on Kies well probably due to no longer having the firmware the phone came with and codes match nothing on Kies server .
Kies updates original firmware . Stock firmware upgrade from Kies Never happened for me and as far as i am aware its not meant to . But some say it will .

You used wrong product code. It should be GT-I9100LKATNL and that is the latest firmware for that region.

Questions about my SGSII I9100JPKG3 firmware?

Dear all,
I am new to this valuable forum & resource. I have been searching within the forum for the past few days & I am looking for help please. I have the following SGSII:
PDA: I9100JPKG3
Phone: I9100XXKG1
CSC: Unknown
Product code: GT-I9100LKADAM
Kernel version:
2.6.35.7-I9100JPKG3-CL388633
[email protected] #2
Build Info: Sun Jul 17, 2011 13:52:14 KST 2011​
I have the following simple questions:
1. I have extensively searched the forum, & I couldn't find any information about this firmware JPKG3! I only found JPKG2 & JPKG5. Is my mobile's firmware official although I bought it from an official reseller in my country?
2. The CSC is unknown & I found a post by Intratech providing the CSC file: "csc_xsg_i9100ojpkg1" for Arabic language. Is is possible to use Odin to flash my SGSII with this CSC file only? And if I flash it, will I solve the "Unknown" issue? Do I need to backup my data? Will the data be wiped out?
3. I also could not find the product code GT-I9100LKADAM throughout the whole website! Any help on that?
4. The Kernel version mentioned above is a bit weird. Is the firmware rooted? I personally didn't do so knowing that i bought the mobile brand new.
5. If I updated to the newer version JPKG5 using Odin, will I solve the Unknown CSC & Kernel issues? Also, will my data be wiped out?
6. Kies does not recognize my mobile! Any help? Is it because of this firmware?
I would really appreciate your valuable help on the above questions. Thanks in advance.
Just flash the JPKG5 from the firmware thread, it's the latest firmware for your device and the DAM CSC is included as the package is a multi-CSC one.

Thanks Intratech for your quick reply. Honestly, I wanted to thank you for your post on the official firmwares but I couldn't do it there since I'm still new... I enjoyed & benefited a lot in every post your wrote It's a master piece...
What about the Kernel issue? Is my current one rooted? If yes, will it be solved when I flash to JPKG5?
Also, what about the product code? I couldn't find anything related to it anywhere! Is it because it's still new in my country?
Finally, after I flash to JPKG5, will Kies recognize my phone?
Thank you Intratech for your valuable help...
No, it's not rooted despite the label however flashing the kernel will update it to the newer kernel. DAM product code is covered by the firmware, if you look in the bracket you will see a list of the CSC covered and DAM is included.

Dear Intratech,
I followed your procedures at the original post & flashed JPKG5 with Odin. Everything went fine & smooth. However, when I tried to change the CSC I got the following list: (XSS, XSG, WAN, TUN, THR, PAK, OTU, MWD, MMC, MID, MED, MAT, LEV, KSA, EGY, BTC, AFG, ABS). It's different than the list mentioned in your post & there is no DAM in it. So what can I do now? Is there a firmware that contains DAM? By the way, I do not know for which country/region DAM stands for? Can you help please? So I currently used the LEV CSC which is the closest to my country!
My updated device data are the following:
Product Code: GT-I9100LKALEV
PDA: I9100JPKG5
Phone: I9100XXKG1
CSC: I9100OJPKG1
Build Info: Thu Jul 28 19:58:32 KST 2011
Kernel version:
2.6.35.7-I9100JPKG5-CL428948
[email protected] #2​
Additionally, when I use Kies, I get: "This version of the device cannot be updated." However, it recognizes it as PDA:KG5 / PDA:KG1 / CSC:KG1 (LEV). Does this mean I can no longer update the firmware through Kies?
Can you please help on the above issues? It's much appreciated. Thanks.

I will investigate this for you. Once there is a newer firmware for your device then KIES will allow you to update.

[Q] GT-I9100 does not support firmware upgrade.

Hello!
I just bought the S2 White, and it's on 2.3.3.
I tried to update the software from phone, but it says, "No new updates".
I connected the phone to KIES (Windows 7 Home Premium x64),
& it says, "GT-I9100 does not support firmware upgrade."
PDA: KE7
PHONE: KE4
CSC: KD1(H3G)
Can someone help me please to update it ???
(I don't understand why KIES says that my phone does not support firmware upgrade :S)
Maybe it has been flashed an unsupported version firmware.
Anyway you can upgrade to any firmware you want throught odin.
Look in the forum for a guide how to flash with odin

I had a similar problem. Then updated Kies and it said that it's not possible to update my firmware!
I went to the thread with the stock firmwares. Chose the current UK 2.3.4 firmware and flashed via Odin. Totally painless and very straightforward. Then checked on my phone for software updates, non available and checked via Kies and says my firmware is up to date.
This seems to have corrected the problem.
People still use Kies?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Just looked through the guides for doing this and I can only seem to see stuff for Vodafone, 3, O2 etc. I've got an unlocked S2 that I think is running out of date software and thought I would try updating manually as Kies is telling me my phone does not support updates lol. Mine is running:

OK so I have found the custom ROM for my S2 but what is the point of putting the same one back on there that is already running? The question I had was 'what is the latest version and how do I install that?'
The reason for all this by the way is that I am sick of the poor battery life of the phone and have been told that the latest version of the software improves it but unfortunately Kies seems to think that my phone is not able to be upgraded!
Are you on OS X by any chance?

If Kies says it cannot be updated your product code is probably wrong.
Hello,

and shows these versions on my S2,

It shows the same as the latest firmware versions just below.
Does anyone know when these above versions were released ?

[Q] Can I change my Australian firmware from Vodafone to Telstra?

Hi there,
I currently purchased a new SG3. It has the vodafone branding which I want to change. When I do the *#1234# it shows me the following:

Firmwares for GT-I9300T - All (10 latest)

I got no idea how all this rooting stuff works. Im trying to learn but I can get my head around it. So sorry if any of my questions seem stupid. Thanks for all your help in advance.
No need rooting to flash.
And yes you can flash Telstra firmware on Voda model, they are the same hardwares.
You need Odin 3.04 and need samsung usb driver or if you already have it working with Kies, then no worries about driver.
Here I copied the general instruction from the UK thread:
Instructions For Flashing Firmware:
Extract the firmware
Launch Odin
Turn off your device
Put your device into Download MODE (Home + Volume Down + Power)
Click PDA and select *.tar.md5
Then finally click START!
Thanks mate. Am downloading the firmware now. Its gonna take 2 hours to download.
Am I meant to change any of the options in Odin3?
Thanks again.
Now that I have flashed my galaxy s3 successfully.
I keep getting the message "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped"
Does anyone know what this is or can direct me into the right place? Ive done a factory reset as another thread recommended but didnt work.
Thanks
