Just to make sure before flashing.:) - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

Ok guys, im about to flash 2.3.4 firmware to replace my stock froyo.Im just posting to ask some more experenced peeps out there, to check im all gravey! I have odin and i have read the guides on the forums . I have backup all my apps and the like with t.b The firmware i have on my ace is s5830xxkb1 and the firmware im gonna flash ( which i hope is right is S5830XEKPH ) i live in the u.k. Please don't shoot me down in flames, if i am wrong , this is my first time. Thanks.

What exactly do you want to know about?
If you are wondering if "S5830XEKPH" is 2.3.4, then yes it is!
I myself used this guide when i installed Gingerbread:

As the OP said here the name of the firmware will be XXKPH but it is still XEKPH, so dont worry.

Question about flashing roms?

Hi ive tried to do alot of research as to how to flash roms and so im not getting a clear image from anyone thats posting things. Again im new to galaxy s2 got it bout 2 days ago and id like to be a flash junkie again from my x10 thaats how i was what i want to find out from anyone that can assist me and explain step by step how to flash roms on my device. my sgs2 is from bell and its kg2 with 2.3.3 and i see on forums of 2.3.5. so id like to know if im able to flash any roms on my phone and how to flash and things it doesn't seem straight foward as how xperia x10 was lol sorry for being a noob. once i get my answers go ahead mods or admins to closing my thread. thank you
You can check out this thread for a step by step guide for installing 2.3.5. You can also find all the firmware's leaked/official that you can flash here. The only thing I would advice is for you to read up as much as you can and familiarize yourself with Odin, if you are not already. Also when flashing roms it's safest if you don't include the .pit file. If you ever want to flash back to the stock bell rom, you can find it here. Good luck and happy flashing

Got a Galaxy S2. Now what?

Hello. I came here from the Xperia X10 mini forum, because i just got a S2
Thing is i don't know what to do with it. With the SE it was different, I was a SE user my whole life, so I was up to date with how to do things on SE droids (root, flash with flashtool, etc.). But i have 0 experience with samsung.
I have:
PDA: I91000XWKE2
BASEBAND: I9100XXKDJ
KERNEL: 2.6.35.7-i9100xwke2-cl187606 [email protected] #2
It's running droid 2.3.3 and I cant update with KIES because it gives me windows encountered a problem etc etc... the old send dont send but on windows 7 (x64).
So I would like to flash it to a 2.3.5 rom and root it. Can anyone explain how do I do this? I don't know what and where to search because I'm new to samsung.
So far i have downloaded ODIN 1.85 and a found this "GT-I9100_OXA_I9100XXKI3_I9100XXKI3_I9100OXAKI3" file. What do i do with it? (also explain steps plz).
I never had a smartphone in my life before I got my SGS2, and I managed to flash all the ROMs without creating threads with questions that are answered in stickies. But maybe I'm a genius, not anyone can be one.
So, try here for starters.. or just search around.
install this kernel and read all the texts.

You should now be root and have cmw recovery, and you can flash pretty much any rom you want.
Not to familiar with teh sony's but i assume you had clockwock mod recovery?
Odin to flash, cf root to flash as kernel to allow root and get cwm, cwm to flash a custom rom as a quick guide on what to search. Generally reading around will help.

Ty for the reply guys. Really apreciate the help and am reading everything you posted.
But 1 thing: witha ll respect, stop acting like I'm using up your personal space, I opened this thread for a reason, because i dont understand sh!t, and reading wont help unless i start to read the very beginning.
When i was at the Xperia thread, i used a program called Flashtool to flash a new generic rom to my X10 mini pro. It also updated the baseband (and basebands where important when i flashed a custom ROM, you needed to have latest baseband and kernel to flash X,Y,and Z custom roms).
I just want to update to the original samsung 2.3.5 ROM with odin (as kies sucks and wont work) and the rest will be easy. Don't want CWM and root yet, just a plain stock 2.3.5 rom. I just wanted to know if i can flash THAT file (first post, long text) to my phone with ODIN.
Again, thank you very much for the support, and will continue to read everything you guys post here.
It's easy to say search for this and search for that when you know exactly what to search for. In my case, I dont even know where to begin. And i would like to finish this "job" in the next 2 hours, as after that its time to sleep :/

No offence mate but when I moved from an HTC to a Samsung based device I was a newb then to, coming from another phone to different methods to another new method I got to grips with everything just reading around.
To answer your questions, yes you can flash a stock rom using odin, all you need is to check out intratechs thread in original development section, as of now KJ3 is the latest 2.3.5 firmware, download a frankenstein version and read his thread which had a guide on what to put where.

Your original post mentioned you wanted to root it hence I gave you the easiest way of doing so is to flash cf root, searching cf root would have given you that thread plus instructions within that thread.

well i flashed that rom i pasted there and it worked. Was simple once i knew i need to put that in PDA and start it.
Yes i know about CF root and will be my next move. Thank you so much for everythingyou posted (again). And will REread every post again for extra knowledge. Need to forget everything i know about SE and learn new stuff.

You may have mistaken this site for Samsung Support. It isn't.
Folks on here help out of a sense of community, they don't get paid for it.
The person you just told to feck off is very knowledgeable and answers a heck of a lot of questions nearly every day.
I am on the same T-Mobile UK network as you and have downloaded from here the very ROM you are looking for, although that has been updated since them. I could easily do the same search on here and point you the link, but would you know what to do with the file? Or have you already fully read the Odin flashing instructions on here?
My first time here was with the HTC Compact III, I read for at least a week all the stickies at the top of each section. When I was sure I wanted to flash a rom, I read and re-read the thread and was as well prepared as I could be.
I am deeply indebted to all those developers and the more knowledgeable on here, who turn my phone into something very special. The least I can do is search before I ask, because nearly every question has already been asked.
i know what to do

Here is a big clue:
Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 > Galaxy S II Original Android Development[ROMS] > Official i9100 carrier branded firmware download for Odin Flash

The BOKE3 was the origonal firmware for the T-Mobile UK SGSII.
BOKF3, BOKG2 and BOKK1 are revised firmwares.
The stock kernels are there if you have rooted your phone with a CF-Root kernel and then reflash with the stock kernel to get rid of the warning triangle at bootup.
The one you are looking for is not a T-Mobile UK ROM, but rather a Samsung Stock ROM for Europe. Flashing that would invalidate the phone's warranty (if you had to take it back to service). That said, that ROM is really old. For newer versions of Samsung stock ROM then look * HERE *
you are good

How about reading the identical thread posted In Question and Answers today noob rooting .
But really you need to read and learn the basics before anything rooting is not some magic potion .

Is there different zip files for different softwares.. Sorrt if i m eing stuoid but i really dont wanna brick my new device :/ thanks
[QUOTE=georgeskhater;39774919
. Sorrt if i m eing stuoid but i really dont wanna brick my new device :/ thanks
Then read the basics first 30 seconds does not give you any knowledge .
Use CF root from development is probably the simplest method if you follow the instructions .But i fail to see why you want to root a device when you dont even know what root is .
jje
I read it all, i know what rooting is about, i wanna root, but at the sametime i dont wanna brick my device! I want adocker, titanium backup
Thank you for ur time
if you read it all, then you already know how to root, and that you posted in the wrong section
Its like we should beg you for little help?? EXCUSE ME if i posted in the wrong section its not a big deaal! I thought it was a site for helping noobs like me sorry for bothering u but i expected more help from u guys..
You have all needed help in the threads that were outlined for you. Read and make. That's all. We won't write for the 123456th time things already present everywhere on the internet. I personally used Samsung s3 toolkit that you can find in original android dev stickies thread.
I just followed what is written.
Noone is going to spoonfeed you, go read it yourself like we all did

[Q]4.1.2 on XXLPQ

Hello everyone
I have bought a SGS2 GT-i9100 and i was searching for 4.1.2 frimware for my devie. My PDA It's XXPLQ and i searched it by Samfrimware and didn't found it. My question is: There's 4.1.2 for my device? Or dosen't matter if it it's XXLJS or another version.
I don't know if this is necesary but i'm from Venezuela.
Try to search here. Link
^^^
Why would you link someone who has clearly stated they have an I9100 to I9100G firmware ? You do realise a lot of people who ask for help here take whatever help you give them rather literally & tend to blindly do what they're told without thinking ?
I hope for your sake this guy doesn't download one of the firmwares you linked to & flash it, you owe him a new phone if he does.
Edit - OP, you're very confused. There was only one 4.1.2 I9100 stock firmware released for Venezuela, which is available on Samfirmware - VNO - I9100UHMS8. There is no 4.1.2 firmware XXLPQ. You can use any stock firmware from any carrier, it doesn't make any difference. However, you seem to be completely lacking in 'the basics'. If you attempt to flash anything with your current lack of knowledge, you're asking for a busted phone. Read the guides/tutorials stickied near the top of the General section before you do anything.

You don't need to be rude here. Everyone does mistakes. And yeah i didn't notice about I9100, and i already edited the link that i provided before.
