to be honest with you I dont have a clue if installing a different version does make any difference, have a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 for any IRL roms else maybe try the one from CPW Uk or just wait for somebody to explain it about the versions
uk o2 here with this version XWKF3/baseband ke7
Where did u buy it, is it from some operator (branded device), if yes, then which one, or it is in free sale in some store (unbranded) ?
If you bought it from vodafone ireland, then you have firmwares here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
firs and second edition.

So I recently bought Samsung Galaxy S2, coming from iPhone it's quite tricky when it comes to firmwares. My phone is the I9100G white model and I accidentally tried to flash the I9100 ICS firmware update.. But after researching on the net I was able to flash it back to the GingerBread firmware via Odin software. My query is that will I be able to get and install official firmwares from Samsung or not directly through KIES, if not than how can I shift back to the original firmware for my device which would work on KIES update.. Lastly has ICS been released for I9100G model as yet or not??? Your help would be much appreciated..!!
ics has not yet been released for the original firmware 9100g need to know from which country the sgs2
It's a UK Handset!

I bought the unlocked international version of SGS2.. I also wanted to know how to find out which country is my phone from although the seller claims that it's a UK handset.. If there is a way to find out do let me know... Thanks!!

I9100 SGS2 is international version and doesn`t matter from which country you bought
I9100G isn't distributed by any of the networks in the UK or even sold direct by any major retailer (well, maybe one). You should be able to check your IMEI somewhere like here to see where it's from.
ROM
Can you recommend any other custom ROM for I9100G model.. I have come across many ROMs for the I9100 but not the I9100G one..

If you haven't flashed custom ROMs or updated your firmware yet, your build number in the About Phone screen will (sort of ) tell you. It's a code that can be deciphered.
What is the build number?
type keyboard *2767*4387264636#
Build Number..

XW is a generic Europe code that could be many countries (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Nordic, Spain, United Kingdom).
LA1 means it was build 1 in January of 2012.
I believe you can further narrow down what country by finding your CSC by typing *#1234# into your dialer.
is india or bangladesh
I think you should be able to flash through Kies when you revert to the stock ROM. Here is a list of official I9100 firmware, I guess you could find yours in there.

Sorry. Made an a** of myself . My bad.
I missed in the first post of the thread where he said he flashed back to a stock firmware, so my suggestion was voided, since it was no longer the original firmware that shipped with his phone.

Yea exactly, thats what i want to know how can you revert back to the original firmware that would work with KIES..
Sent from my GT-I9100G using XDA
Two options.
1) Original firmware that came with phone; search for said firmware on Samfirmware.com, flash according to any instructions they have for flashing firmware downloaded from their site.
2) Latest stock firmware you'd normally get via Kies; get the PC version of Checkfus (search for it on XDA/Google). This will allow you to download the latest firmware for your phone/carrier/country that you'd normally get via Kies (might be the same firmware which came with the phone, depends on whether carrier has pushed a firmware update since or not). Flash this firmware you download following the instructions in Intratech's firmwares threads on here.

Hi Guys
I'm a newbie here... I've done thorough searches here, but no-one's posted a query like I seem to have?!
I purchased an Australian SGS3 I9300 on the Optus network from the UK eBay site (this wasn't mentioned in the auction, so I expected to receive a full UK firmware/spec phone), it comes with Jellybean which I'm not a massive fan of...
Am I able to downgrade the australian 4.1.2 Jellybean firmware, to either an international or UK (O2 Telefonica) ICS 4.0 (which I love)?
Is it just a general download of the international firmware from Sammobile and flash through Odin?
Any help and advise appreciated

I would root the phone first and make a backup of your current firmware. Then just get the ICS FW you want to flash and do it through odin.

Thanks for your reply!
I was 'hoping' not to root it, and just do it as a general firmware download?

wouldn't you rather have a backup just in case though? you can always use triangle away and then once you flash with odin you will be back to stock anyway!
Get a copy of the firmware that is currently on the phone or at least make a note of it .
Then via Odin flash a stock UK rom from stock rom thread or from sammobile.com .

Thanks for your reply guys - very helpful
I'm going to make the backup and install the new (older) firmware

if its not listed on sammobile then it might be an OTA update
currntly what rom/kernel ur phone is into
If its a custom rom then do flash the Stock ICS firmware for ORANGE UK and then see if u get an OTA update to JB4.1.2
Also u can check the link below

Well i currently have the rom for the Vodafone UK network. But that not longer works as I am with Orange. Yeah i checked out that link and that is what confuses me. Why would you release a 4.1.2 update for pretty much the whole on europe for the orange network but not the uk?
Currently download stock ICS to see if there is another update.
Very strange.
UPDATE - Fixed
**Update - Solved**
Hi I just thought i'd come back to my original thread and post a solution to this problem.
If anyone get this issue then what I did was go to samsung-updates dot com and downloaded a stock rom called Region: XEU and with a version id of: I9100XWLSW.
Works a treat and will recognise the orange / Everything everywhere / t-mobile network.
Thanks
