Thanks.

A search of the dev section look for a post entitled O2 firmware debranding and or a post called Official Carrier Branded Firmware .

Okay, found them. Thanks for the tip!!

Hi Folks,
I did a little search before posting this thread and could quite find what I was looking for. I apologise now if I've overlooked threads regarding this.
I swapped my uk international Black S II for my other halfs White O2 branded S II.
I proceeded to debranded it by flashing PDA: XWKI4 | PHONE: XXKI1 CSC: XEUKH2 from Intratech via odin then did a factory reset and wipe cache in recovery mode. It was previously running PDA: XWKJ1| Phone: XXKI4 CSC:O2UKJ1
Ok, My Problem...
I Was paranoid about the 3G/HSDPA connection not being as fast as it was on my black uk international version. Ya know what its like when ya convince yourself theres something wrong with your phone. I'm not sure if I needed to also flash a kernal?
I then sent a text to O2 to send through settings for internet.Received the configuration settings, installed and then restarted the phone. After coming back on it had a massive drop in battery life. (See attached image). Could this also be due to the kernal?
What have I done wrong? Would I just be better running the O2 firmware?
Also, the White SII was made in China, and the black one Korea. I kept the battery from the black one and put it in the white one. (Battery also made in Korea) and vise versa.
All the apps i have installed are exactly the same as I had on the black one, and never had any battery draining problems.
Any advice would be greatly welcomed.
Thanks.
Warren
The answer is on the Stock ROM thread:
Used XXKI3 modem in this package as I compared it to XXKI4 and whilst performance was similar on O2 network XXKI3 was more efficient when it came to battery life.

That might be the cause of your phone's hunger for battery.
If I flash that Kernal won't I lose the ability to update unbranded firmware through kies? Could post the link to that thread please?
Did I debrand the phone incorrectly?
Thanks.

I apologised in my first post. I had already read through some of that thread as I flashed my black SII all the time. Think I may just flash O2 firmware back. This thread helped alot.

Hi!
I currently have my s2 rooted and on CM9. My phone is/was the european version GT I9100. I know that region is getting the ICS update on 3/10. Can some one direct me to copies of a stock rom that will be receiving the update?
Thanks in advance!
Since you have already flsahed your phone with CM9 why not just flash the official ICS when it comes out?
Seems he want to install ics via kies

If your referring to
"(4) Customized firmware
If unofficial or customized firmware is installed in the mobile, unexpected problem can happen during upgrading"
Thats why I want to go back to stock.
They don't expect you to flash the firmware via CWM or Odin. I don't think it will be necessary to flash a stock rom first

wouldn't it be best to wait before flashing the official one through kies mate. cause you are only going to after a few days when all the custom official ones be released going to root your phone again. i was thinking the same but i am going to hold off for a while
Good luck getting official firmware updates via Kies if you're running non-stock firmware

Dear All,
I have flashed with a stock rom from below mentioned article

Kindly help.

I can think of 2 possibilities why it might not work.
-wrong CSC: find your country's CSC and change yours to match. Here and Here
your ROM must have your CSC or a Multi-CSC where your CSC is included.
-"Zombie"-ROM: A ROM patched together from different originals, e.g. a good stock kernel from one ROM with a good modem from another ROM. This shouldn't be, because you took an original from intratech's Thread. But if you want, you can also try this.
I hope this helps.
If I am Orange UK stock do I just find the UK Stock XEU and put it on?
---------- Post added at 10:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------
At the moment I have
PDA: I9100BVKJ4
CSC I9100ORAKJ4
Would
I9100XWKE1
MULTIXEUKD1
Work ok?
It looks like you already have an ORANGE-ROM. what exactly are you trying to do? If you want to get rid of the orange branding, what you have there looks good.

The latest UK stock firmware is XWKI4 and it is avaiable in Intratech's official firmware thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Its in the 2nd post and the link isn't broken
Search Samfirmware.com for a generic UK stock rom.
Just wait till later today then flash the new official UK firmware.

STOCK is SAMSUNG firmware .
If you want 3uk firmware then restore your original saved rom.
Not bothered to save it then CHECKFUS is probably your route to 3uk firmware .

If you as the owner don't know then nobody else will know .
Just guess at a version of 3uk firmware for your location .
Or ask on a 3uk forum what is your firmware .

KI8 is the newest Gingerbread Three ROM apart from the ICS build released today.
I don't have it to upload though, I only have I9100XWKE1 which is a very old build, But if you can't find KI8 Three stock anywhere I'll upload it somewhere for you.
[edit] Infact I have KI8 on my PC if you can't find it online let me know.
Personally though I'd just flash LP7 much better than LPQ that Three have released today & not as much bloatware!
Because I am a really nice person, Don't complain about speeds this was the first link that would let me upload over 300mb

Unzip first & then Flash with Odin3 PDA mode.

Hi
I'm aiming to remove all the branding from my SGS3.
If I follow the guide below, will it remove all the branding and still let me update OTA in future? Also I am already on 4.1.2 so will this cause a problem?
Its a UK Orange branded phone 4.1.2 I9300BVELK1
