Hello
My sgs2 is an unbr./unl. O2 from the Uk now working on vodafone PT, in portugal
I have read thoroughly on the given instructions on the dev forum side and was able to flash in firmware XWKE7 - baseband XXKE4 using Odin 1.85 and also root it with superoneclick (thks again guys!), this is a small victory for me as I am a total newbie to android
Just was´nt still able to put away the yellow triangle but will try again later
Maybe I missed something somewhere else and this is newbie issues, but after reading carefully on those long (gladly!) posts I could not find out how to install a CSC file, the phone returns "unknown" and the only one available to install with the command *#272*Device IMEI# is of course O2U
So my questions are:
- what CSC file should be more appropriate for this firmware setup, for PT and/or vodafone PT ?
- How can I install it ?
thks in advance
I would just install a stock XEU(=UK) firmware, seems to be the fastest to be updated, you can find the downloads in the dev section
Hi,
I'm facing a slightly similar problem of unknown CSC & I would like to know how to install the CSC specific for my region. I have SGSII with the following info:
PDA: I9100JPKG3
Phone: I9100XXKG1
CSC: Unknown
Kernel version:
2.6.35.7-I9100JPKG3-CL388633
[email protected] #2In fact, I found on a separate thread the CSC file "csc_xsg_i9100ojpkg1" & I would use Odin to install in on my device. Can anyone help on that please & explain to me the steps? Will I lose any data?
Thanks...

Hi ninogui,
You should go with XEU for Portugal.
Regarding the yellow triangle, I ordered a jig from amazon uk to reset the flash counter and get rid of the yellow triangle. It's unexpensive and usefull to have around.
Around €10 with shipping included to Portugal.

Thanks JJEgan,
I checked the link but I couldn't find any trace for the JPKG3 firmware! I only found JPKG2 & JPKG5. Is the JPKG3 an official firmware? Will it be OK if I flash the "csc_xsg_i9100ojpkg1" file using Oden & kept the JPKG3? Or do you recommend I update to JPKG3 entirely?
you can flash the csc only if you are happy with the firmware you have.
If you want the latest official firmware you need to upgrade to xkg5.

Hello,
Im on KE2 firmware at the monent however when I got on to kies KE2 is the latest firmware.
As far as I know latest official firmware is KE8?? isnt it?
So Id like use odin to flash KE7 or higher firmware on it.
Here is question....
1.
Currently on
PDA: I9100XWKE2
Phone: I9100XXKDJ
CSC: I9100XFKD4
Am I able to upgrade to
I9100XWKE7 CSC-XEUKD1 without any problem??
If not what kind of CSC do I have to use it?
Im currently at New Zealand with parallel imported SII.
2. If I change to KE7 or higher with odin does it make avoid warrenty?
Thanks.
I experienced the same thing. what I did was I asked the place I bought the phone from if the warranty would expire if I flashed XWKE7 UK version to my phone, they told me no since it pretty much is no bigger difference between that update and the forthcoming one(I live in Sweden).
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
If I change to KE7 or higher with odin does it make avoid warrenty?
Not Samsung warranty .

Hi guys, I'm quite a n00b at all this, new to android
I have a question about this kernels/roms as well.
I have updated samsungs firmware (KF2) as described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
After that I rooted my phone as described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Now, I came across an overclock! Here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13709259#post13709259
Which seems really interesting.
My question is: will I loose my KF2 ROM/kernel if I flash this overclock kernel?
Can I even apply the mod with my KF2 kernel?
And what exactly is the difference between a ROM and kernel anyway?
Thank you! Trying to read up a lot, but it's not easy being a simpleton

you say KF2 is latest uk firmware though OP's info states generic (poland).
are you sure?
Hi guys,
I just bought a Galaxy S2 and I want to flash a newer firmware.
The firmware I intend to flash (XXKG1) comes with PDA, MODEM and CSC.
Is it possible to flash just it's PDA part? Would there be any implications on that?
Why would I want that? Because the original firmware (Brazil - VIVO carrier) I could find only came with the PDA part. So if I flash CSC or MODEM, there is no way back.
The CSC is different from mine. Would that be a problem?
Thanks in advance
AFAIK the CSC is installed into the system partition, so even when you only flash the PDA part you're going to loose your current CSC setup.
However, if the FW comes as seperate .tar files you can just flash the PDA one, yes.
You can take care of a "way back" if you first install CF-Root for example and then do a backup from recovery mode.
Restoring that back gets you pretty close to "nothing ever happened" - it doesn't backup the moden though, only system and data.
Uhmm... weird, even on ODIN you have a separate button for the CSC.
What are the consequences of changing the CSC?

As the above poster mentioned It really depends how the firmware is packaged
Intratech's firmware are packed in one TAR ( Pda/phone/csc ) is just one zip, which you put in the PDA section and it flashes all three of them within
If you get three seperate files then you put them in their corressponding order of ODIN
In this instance you can choose to keep your current CSC and not flash that one.
Although I am not sure if It has any effect between 2.3.3 and 2.3.4
Just to clarify CSC subject:
I live in Kazakhstan. My present setup (from *#1234#)
PDA: I9100XEKE2
Phone: I9100XXKDJ
CSC: I9100XEKE1
believe all available official samsung firmwares are issued do exist for different region(i.e. Kazakhstan is not included)
How safe is it to flash the 2.3.4 firmware now (KG2) ?
What can I possibly loose using the KG2 firmware from Samsung ? As u understand phone language is not a problem for me.....so wonder anything else I omit ?
Thanks for help
Sorry to bump in....
Hello, I am relatively new to forums, only discovered it since I got my galaxy s2, which was a month ago.
Anyways I have similar questions, and I read a bunch of topic which only made me even more confused about what to do, and didn't want to make a new thread so I bumped in here
If inappropriate, please ignore me.
Anyways, Ive got:
PDA: I9100XWKE1
PHONE: I9100XWKE1
CSC: I9100OJVKE1
It is an stock firmware, and I guess a ROM...
I want to update to 2.3.4 but waiting seems not to be a better side of me so I decided to do it manually.
My question is with what should I update with?
As far as I understand, latest official firmwares can be found in the Intratech's post ( the XXKG2 one ).
But I am worried about the CSC part, and how will it affect my phone?
As far as I understand CSC carries localization of a sort, for some network configuration, but my provider sends config messages, and only language I use in phone is English.
Will random CSC part affect me?
Can I even update from my current firmware to the latest one? or do I need to update to other one first?
Will update wipe my data? ( it seems no as far as I understood from guide )
Will the phone be full "stock" ( basically like I bought it with that firmware), and will I be able to update on later time with KIES ?
What kinda of problems (if any) might I expect with upgrading this way? ( if presumably I do everything as I should, i.e. as per guides )
Once again, I apologize for bumping this thread, and I thank you for any help you provide.

My S2 came from 'expansys online' and had the information below and no update in KIES.
PDA: XWKI4
Modem: XXKI1
CSC: OXAKI2 (SEB)
I changed the sales code to NEE by '*#272*IMEI#' and then KIES asked me to update to the following version.
PDA: XWKI8
Modem: XXKI4
CSC: OXAKI2(NEE)
Then I flashed stock firmware from Intratech's thred. But KIES said my phone cannot be updated by it. I check the information by '*#272*IMEI#' and there is just one work 'NEE' after 'sales code' and NOTHING SHOWN BELOW(before there were a list i can select). I thought I should have one 'XEN' to select at least but nothing.
The flashing should be successful because there were some apps with Dutch language.
PDA: XWKJ3
Modem: XXKI4
CSC: XENKJ1
At latst yesterday I flashed KK5 combination from Intratech's thred and succeed (with special apps like bbc i-player) but problem is still there. I cannot see any CSC to select by '*#272*IMEI#'.
KIES says the firmware 'I9100XWKK5/I9100XEUKH2/I9100XXKI3/I9100XWKK5' cannot be updated by it.
So anybody know how to solve it or who know which combination can be updated by KIES?
Anyone can give a help?
I dont really understand what you are trying to achieve .
Kies looks at Product Code and a few other codes .These are then matched against firmware on the Kies server . No match = no download .
Why vendor not updated
product Codes do not match any firmware .
Kies may not be able to match up the current codes on your phone .
You have a phone you changed its sales code
you updated then you flashed stock firmware then you flashed stock firmware again .
You want latest firmware then flash stock rom and flash relevant CSC to your location .

My question is why there is no CSC which I can select after I call '*#272*IMEI#'. There is just one word 'NEE'. No CSC list.
I flash XEU so I think at least there should be XEU CSC and the word should be changed from NEE to XEU. But the fact is not so.
And how to change product code?
You flashed the Frankenstein version of KK5 which is a combination that Intratech put together, and he placed it in the FRANKENSTEIN section, Kies will not recognize it, in order to flash with Kies, stay with stock roms/combinations.
The biggest question is why do you want to flash with Kies and with ODIN, pick one and stick with it, flash the CSC separately if you do not see it, or download CSC select from the market.

what I most warry about is why there is no XEU displayed. After calling *#272*IMEI# just 'Sales Code : NEE' is displayed (sorry no image). Anyone whose phone just has non-multi CSC can show me your infromation after calling.

Flash the CSC separately, then use the market app to select it, will reset your device though...

well that is for Poland
and now that I wanted to get back to Factory Reset, I formatted the 16GB Internal Memory,
and used this
GT-I9100_XEN_I9100XWKJ3_I9100XENKJ1_I9100XXKI4.tar.md5
on PDA using Odin
well Now I think is in German , as it has 2 apps
DigiLezen & Samsung MMM
Version
PDA: I9100XWKJ3
PHONE: I9100XXKI4
CSC: I9100XENKJ1
MY SG2 IS UNBRANDED & UNLOCKED
I'M ON GIFFGAFF THAT RUNS ON O2 NETWORK, But for some reason I don't have in mobile networks option to select O2

Hopefully this helps.
You can get the stock firmware in this thread here.
For a beginner root kernal I would use the one available here.
Use odin to flash the kernal/firmware.
I been to both pages, and still can't figure out what is the right one, I read everything
can someone with giffgaff UK Please advice me off the right PDA/PHONE/CSC to put on my SG2, thanks
According to Intra's carrier branded firmware thread, latest firmware for O2/GiffGaff is KJ1.

Hey guys.
I just received a TRE (Three) Italy branded GSG 2 with the following PDA, PHONE and CSC info here:
PDA : I9100 XWKI8
PHONE : I9100 NEKI2
CSC : I9100 HUIKI1
If I install the XWKI8 Stock Kernel from here, using ODIN, will that work ? I want the same version of software, but with NO BRANDING.
Afterwards I want to upgrade my phone to ICS, but I just want to get rid of the 3 (Three) icons and bootscreen first.. Afterwards If I want to go back to the 3 (Three) version if I install the one with the info above will it work ?
Thanks a lot guys.
Stock answer is read the debranding post .

No as you dont have a clue and need to read the Faqs and Guides first .
Kernels are not firmware you require full firmware . Read the thread instructions .

Q
Okay. Got it. read them. Ty JJe.
So from what I've read I understand that I can install whatever firmware that is available here, under the OFFICIAL FIRMWARE section, the original and current firmware that I've got being available here, under the 3 Network, under Italy.
Can I install _ANY_ firmware ? Or any other one that has the same PDA version (XWKI8) ?
Afterwards.. If I want to go back to the original FW the phone had, is flashing the firmware version above, under the 3 network, Italy everything I have to do ? If for example I've got a problem with the phone or software and want to use its warranty. Ty.
Thanks all.

As JJEgan told you, you can flash any firmware. Just a suggestion: After you change the firmware, reflash the NEKI2 modem. It's one of the best for 3 in italy
