Hi guys i am new at this forum. I updated my friends SGS firmware to 2.3.4 with odin already so i know something about this stuff. But a i don't know about the compatibility. My Samsung galaxy s 2 has KE1 firmware and i want to install litening rom 1.5 from this forum. My question is :
Can i install it ?? My phone is KE1 so i don't know abouthe compatibility.
Will it change my phone to KE7 or KF2 ?? Pls answer i need help
Sorry can't find the edit button. Kies doesn't even show me the update for the phone. Today i opened kies and it was updating it. I though that then there will be the update for sgs 2 but nothing...
EDIT
found it lol. My phone is branded. Checked with samfit
SGS2 no release of 2.3.4 yet .
You can install another rom like Lighting it will be whatever the rom you install is KE4 7 KF2 whatever the developer has used .

I don't think i understand. I don't want 2.3.4 on my sgs 2. I just want litening rom on my sgs 2. But i have KE1 on my phone. Should i update the firmware to KE7 with odin ? becuase kies doesn't find that update

already running a rooted stock rom on galaxy s2, c onnected to kies and offered new update
pda-kf3 phone- ke7 csc/kd1(xeu)
now according to kies mine has pda-ke7 phone-ke4 csc kd1
whic rom do i need to keep root and be nearest to stock as possible? also will it wipe anything from my phone? thanks in advance
Also is it actually worth updating- any new bug fixes?
Your latest firmware is KE7
Thats still relatively old KF3 latest .
Personally i would wait for Android 2.3.4 .
Otherwise reroot with KE7 root after the update .
Should not wipe but backup anyway is the rule .

Sorry to post this thread, but i could not find the answer to this anywhere else. So i have a rooted 2.3.3 xwke7 Galaxy s 2 ( i flashed xwke7, but its still 2.3.3, and a really bad case of the AOS battey bug. I wanna flash 2.3.4 via Odin, but since its europe version and mine xwke7. Is it safe to flash the europe version? I bought my GS2 in the UAE. I know it will void my warranty, but is that all? Finally, To install SuperCore with odin which Button( CSC, Phone, PDA) do i press to selecr the tar file?
Thanks. Alot. Seriously. I love XDA! XD
I think its no problem. Also ppl said 2.3.5 has good batter. perhpas you might want to look in to those threads before flashing 2.3.4
Good luck
Hi, my sis is using SGS II GT-I9100G, she wants to update to stock ICS (singapore) firmware. I found this (GT-I9100_XSP_I9100DXLP9_I9100OLBLP9_I9100DXLP9) firmware and im not sure can her phone update to this firmware cos the file name is stated "GT-I9100_XSP" instead of "GT-I9100G. So can anyone help me out here to confirm whether i can just update via odin or not? Or is there any other stock ICS for "GT-I9100G"? Thanks in advance.
GT-I9100G does not has ICS yet
If not sure whether there is a fimrware update available for your phone check SamMobile or use 'Check Fus'.

You cannot. That firmware file is for the I9100, NOT the I9100G.
I9100 and I9100G are not compatible for firmwares and kernels between the two phones due to the different CPU/GPU/SoC.
If you flash a i9100 firmware on a i9100g phone then you will brick your phone, go for a custom rom.
Nevermind
ok, thanks guys...so i guess i have to put on hold without choice...
Hi so I'm trying to get my galaxy s2 back on stock firmwares, I just changed to gingerbread XWKI4 but now it won't update via kies.
Does anyone know why that would happen? Or what the official unbranded UK version of ICS is?
1. wrong forum
2. select your csc and try again

If you know which stock firmware you want to go back to then you can just download the firmware from Intratech's thread and use odin to flash it. All the instructions and downloads can be found on this thread, read it carefully ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
If you want to flash official unbranded UK ICS release then use Faryaab's Thread and flash the I9100XWLP7 ROM using Odin, the ROM can be downloaded from the 2nd post. Again follow the insturctions in the first post carefully.

If you flash the unbranded UK ICS rom mentioned above and, as long as your phone is also unbranded, then Kies should detect your phone's firmware again. It stopped detecting it because you changed to a ROM that was not intended for your phone.
Ok I went to update my phone through kies and forgot that i have a different kernal than before. Kies told me i cant update through it. I assume thats cause im using a different kernal.
Here is the details from my phone.
Model - GT-I9100
Android Version - 4.0.4
Baseband Version - I9100XXLQ6
Kernal Version - 3.0.15-I9100XWLPT-CL941023
Build Number - IMM76D.XWLPT
I am locked on O2 UK i think.
I have noticed since flashing this kernal last july that my phone performance has been poor in terms of it switching off by itself and so on.
What I want to know is how can i get the original firmware back on my phone so i can update via kies. And I also want to know how to install Jelly Bean on this phone and how I go about it?
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Aaron.
Hey,
i have found out that the latest rom O2 UK has released is android 4.0.4
you can download the firmware from here
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/159884527/f4d3bd8/I9100XWLPD_I9100O2ULP7_O2U.zip.html
You will have to flash that with Odin, just unzip the file and put it in the pda section on Odin.
After that kies should be able to recognize your phone,
if you want to update to 4.0.4 from kies you will have to pick an earlier firmware from
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9100&pcode=O2U#firmware
same precedure as above for flashing it, i have not used kies since i bought my gs1 2 years ago but i believe it will work
Good luck friend!
Thanks for that dude, much appreciated
Is this a Jelly Bean ROM or just original stock ROM for O2??????????
no, just Ice Cream Sandwich, but it is stock Touchwiz. (Samsung Rom)
but the Jelly Bean update must be around the corner i guess.
if not you could allways flash a stock Samsung JellyBean rom that is open for europe,
the main difference may be a different modem and that there is no O2 apps prebaked into the Rom.
i think the one for nordic counties should work well since you are in the uk,
you can find it at
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9100&pcode=0#firmware
Thanks again man, you have been very very helpful.
Thanks
no problem mate, glad i could help you out,
and please let me know if it works with kies afterwards
What will the difference in modems do? Will there be any affect on what I can do with my phone?
What is the modem for? Internet connection i take it?
Kies doesn't let you update with the nordic counties rom at all. But it works sweet on my S2 so I'm happy.
