[Q] What's my phone region? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all, i checked in samfit and my pda version is I9100ZSKF4 but then my baseband is I9100XXKE4...so in which region does my phone belongs to? should i go for asia or europe?

ZS is dedicated Hong Kong firmware I think. Like DD in India.
Regards.

Baseband is your modem .
That may be an earlier modem than current firmware in many cases .

so i guess i can flash both europe or asia official firmware?

You can flash any firmware you want, but that could change your CSC's region

KF4 is after KE7 as in K is 2011 E is a month 7 is build
No change logs published by Samsung .
and how do i know what is the language of the ROM?
By reading the instructions on the first page of that link .
CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.

Region codes.
This helps me a lot.
I ran a google search but i didn't find which is better and what is the diffrent
ZS = Hong Kong
XW = ?
There is something i would prefer?
Can I install any ROM i want? if i have XW version this is possible to install ZS?
You can install any ROM's any time over any ROM. ZS is dedicated for Hong Kong, ZN is China, why should you install them if you are not located in those countries? XW is open region I guess, it's mainly for Europe and some other Asian countries like India and else.

I have found that XXKG6 ROM have the support i need but nothing mentions about JH. This ROM Runs android 2.3.4 i have 2.33 , If I will install the ROM
it will change to 2.3.4?
If you install a 2.3.4 ROM then you will definitely have 2.3.4.
Regards.
After i flashed the ROM, can I just install CSC with odin?
And if i will flash another kernel CSC will be removed right?
Kernel doesn't have anything to do with CSC. I don't the first part of your query though.
1. When flashing while i'm in install mode i always get an error:
cannot access system/csc/dbt/system
this is normal?
2. I have Frankenstein XXKG6 it seen to be great but there is an RTL fix to this build?
if not what is the recommended firmware that support RTL?

[Q] Is it OK to flash firmwares from another region?

I have a SGS2 which I bought in Hong Kong. The firmware installed on it is I9100ZSKG2 with CSC = OZSKG2. However, up until now no 2.3.4 firmware is posted with the region HK. So my question is will it be alright if I use a 2.3.4 firmware from another region? For example Singapore (I9100DXKH2 CSC = OLB)? Do I need to change the CSC back to OZSKG2? Thanks!
You can flash any region firmware over any region. European region firmwares are stable afaIk. You can add any CSC of your wish with it.
Regards.
thanks for clearing the ambiguity.

Galaxy S II CSC differencies

Hello
I have unbranded Galaxy S II, with CSC "XEU".
Latest upgrade through Kies I had at September, and now firmware is:
Europe XEU - I9100XWKI4 / I9100XEUKH2 (Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread)
Since than no more updates were available in Kies...
Does anybody know if this will change?
I see Europe firmwares for CSC "OXA", but for this I should probably first use Odin to change firmware.
What is difference between "XEU" and "OXA" in general?

You get updates when you get them is the simple answer .

YES
What is difference between "XEU" and "OXA" in general?

XEU = UK
OXA = Poland

They are just region codes.
CSC's just have APN settings and maybe some operator specific apps, any region specific rom will work anywhere in the world.
Hi
Is there general CSC for Europe?
If:
"XEU = UK; OXA = Poland"
Than really there is no new update for UK?
2.3.4 is letest Android?
somehow funny

Can someone confirm, that unbranded SGSII from UK has latest Androind 2.3.4?
Nothing I'm complaining about, its really stable and working OK.
But little sorrow there were updates for other CSC...
Btw, how to change CSC when multi-csc is not installed (*#727*IMEI# is displaying XEU only, is not accepting OXA)

Flash a CSC from the stock roms and CSC thread .
CSC IS country specific settings a few files that give local networks details and settings and is not even required for a phone to work .

Different firmware, how do I find the closest match ?

Hello
In South Africa we are up to 2.3.4 as being our latest firmware update available via Kies. In the official roms I see other countries go up to 2.3.6.
Now from what I have seen I am going to go and assume that the different regions differences are for optimal workings for the modem, gps information, CSC and the like.
The firmware I am currently using was taken from the post by Infratech
PDA:XWKI4
PHONE: XXKI1
Date: 14/09/2011
Android 2.3.4
OJC (XFA, XFC, XFE, XFM, XFV) (South Africa) *I am using XFM
Now how do I tell what firmware that doesnt match say phone and/or PDA would work best, I've seen mention of "choosing the closest number" but thats vague to me. I would prefer my phone to be using firmware of a place that actually gets regular updates but not at the expense of phone performance/compatability.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Please note I'm not asking for blind "use this" answers but trying to actually get an understanding so that I know how it works.
The only way you can tell is by using or having recommends from other local users for the modem/baseband .
CSC is country specific but is only a list of local network settings and they can be entered manually .
Thats it Kernels are interchangeable as is firmware .
Only check is that a firmware supports the language you require .
If you want only official updates via Kies then you stick with Kies and flash no other firmware .
Samsung release firmware its sent to the network /phone providers they decide if and when or not to update .
Generally the stock European firmware is more than likely to be available for later versions .
Flash say UK stock firmware 2.3.6 with a change of modem if you find one better in SA and likewise a change of CSC to your country .

This fake and its not working
