Hi !! This is my first android device so please forgive me if I ask something wrong.
I want to update my phone firmware to another.
This is the current situation :
PDA :I9100 XWKE2
PHONE : I9100 XXKDJ
CSC : I9100 OXFKD4
Product : GT-I9100LKAVVT (Romanian I presume, MAY)
I want to switch to I9100XWKF3_OJVKF1_XXKF1 rom (Turkey) that I downloaded from samfirmware
The problem is this package has 5 files in it.
I should update, PDA,PHONE,CSC from odin that is ok, but do I need to update kernel or even pit.
Could someone explain it to me the settings and components I need for flashing, I'd appreciate it...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Tried flashing per samfimrware intructions. Been Happly using KF3 ever after.
Tried to avoid bumping this thread by editing my post. I hope it worked and thanks to anyone who replied.
PHONE is for modem.bin
PDA is for firmware (.md5) or kernel (.tar)
Sa\mfirmware has the instructions .

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.

thanks. =)
I got same problem, did you get answered?
If your reason to go back to factory condition is because the phone is being returned for warranty purposes, then you need to know what ROM was on it when you got it. Warranty returns should only accept the ROM it was supplied with or official updates of the same ROM. If it was a Orange UK ROM, then they will only accept a Orange UK ROM. Branded ROMs and Samsung (unbranded) Stock ROMs are in the Original Android Development section on here. Also the Custom Counter would have to be reset.
If the reason is just to get back to a Samsung Stock, then go to the Original Android Development section on here and find the ROM that is for your region.

Please read Intratech's Official Firmware thread here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
At least the two first posts are relevant to you.
To check, what Firmware/ROM is officially released by Samsung for your region, you can use Check Fus Downloader from here => http://fus.nanzen.se/.
P.S.: You do not need the repartition option in Odin.
If you want to be sure to have a "clean" stock ROM on your phone, just go into recovery mode (Volume UP + Home + Power) and choose to make a factory reset after flashing the ROM.
Good luck !

Try re-download the firmware with your PC antivirus off. I had trouble with Kaspersky corrupting the download (no warning either, false positive).
Then try flash with Odin again.

Hello I am from Pakistan.
I did root my SGS3 GT-19300. Then i unroot it but now kies does not recognise my firmware.
I think I did installed a wrong firmware.
But my last firmware was XELLA and so is this one. I dont know what is the exact problem.
Previous firmware that kies recognied was "PDA:MA2 / Phone:LLA / CSC:MA1 (PAK)"
I want to solve it but i dont know how to do it. Please help me out.
I dont understand how to recognise the exact firmware, If someone can tell me my exact firmware i'll be thankfull to him.
All I know about the previous firmware is:
AP: 19300xella
Cp: ***JV something like it..
Please do help me..(
What are you trying to achieve ???
Run the latest firmware = flash stock via Odin
Use Kies for whatever update is for your phone = flash your original saved rom.
Almost certainly never the latest firmware .
