Hello,
Can someone let me know what is the latest French Official firmware version for the SG2 and is this 2.3.3 or 2.3.4.
I'm a bit confused, some are saying KG1 others KG3.
I'm currently running KG6 (PDA XXKG6, PHONE XXKG6, CSC OXAKG6.
Thanks

Namaste ithehappy,
I've been through this thread and flashed my SG2 with the official XWKG1 (Not the Frankenstein one). Unfortunately my SG2 went on bootloop.
This is why i flashed the KG6 from Samfirmware. But this is one is not recognized by KIES.
Suggestions, hints, or whatever you call this are the welcome.
Best Regards,

Thanks, Namaste to you too.
There is a dedicated Boot loop thread, have you tried that?

Hi all! Can anyone clear the following doubts I have about KG2 firmware:
1. Is this upgrade available in India through Kies yet?
2. Can users in INDIA upgrade to the new leaked KG2 firmware posted by Darky in the General section? Or will it change our CSC?
3. Do we need to download Darky's file (311.71MB), OR can we flash Intratech's stock kernel file for KG2 ( Kernel_GT-I9100_I9100XXKG2.tar which is 8MB after unpack) for upgrading to this new firmware instead?
4. After upgrading the firmware to KG2, which one of this two files from Chainfire to use for rooting this new KG2:
CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip OR
CF-Root-SGS2_JP_XSG_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip ??
What is the difference between these two files? I'm guessing JP_XSG is for Japan, what is ZS_OZS for?
Waiting for your reply. Thanks
1- No.
2- Yes. Don't know.
3- Yes. No.
4- 1st one.
Regards.
Darkys firmware its not official firmware at all .

Thanks for your reply both of you. But barring the first point, they do not clear my doubts. I would appreciate if you can answer the questions POINTWISE. If you do not know the answer to all the points, then just answer the ones you know. But PLEASE answer according to the points I asked.
Thanks in anticipation.
@JJEgan : Good you edited your post. I was about to correct you that you were mistaken about Darkyy's KG2 leak not being Android 2.3.4 but 2.3.3.
I confirm that it is indeed based on Android 2.3.4 coz Darkyy's post title itself says : "[FIRMWARE] XXKG2 - Android 2.3.4 [ONLINE!]"
@ithehappy : Thanks for the revised pointwise answers. I appreciate. So you're saying I should use this file : CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip for rooting. But Intratech advised me to use the KG1 file in the other thread, without giving a reason why I should choose the KG1 file over the KG2 file of Chainfire. Another forum member replied there saying it's because CF's KG1 file has android 2.3.4 but his KG2 file has 2.3.3. But he doesn't seem to be sure about this and is only guessing.
So I'm still not sure which file to use for rooting the upgraded KG3 firmware and which CSC file to flash to restore the country version to India.
KG1 is 2.3.4, not KG2. For rooting you can use any kernel and then flash back the Stock kernel. But if I were you, then I'd flash KG2 kernel for rooting if you are flashing the KG2 ROM.
Besides, I'd suggest you to wait for the Official release in India.

Hmm.....it makes sense to wait. You think the KG2 firmware update + Android 2.3.4 would be out via Kies by the end of this month (July)?
Well Samfirmware twitted that GB 2.3.4 will be officially released by the end of this month. China already got their 2.3.4 update, so I am confident that we will get it too, but with Samsung I can't guess a time frame I am afraid. All I can say, just wait for the time being.
Regards.
First off i couldn't find an answer so i created this post so apologies if it is a repeat.
I FINALLY managed to connect my phone to that appalling software known as 'KIES'.
KIES informed me that the following firmware is available for me to upgrade to:
'PDA:KI4/ PHONE:KL1/CSC:KH2 (XEU)'
Could you help me as to where to find this firmware version. if it is official etc. Phone Details below:
Thanks.
I am from Wales,UK and purchased it from Carphone warehouse. Network carrier: Orange.
My Phone details:

2.3.3
Basband Version i9100xxke7

Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 you can find all the different firmware for the samsung galaxy sII with a tutorial to install it !
Thanks for the link but i already have it. im just unsure of which one i need.
Kies is offering you the correct firmware but you dont want it .
In which case a stock Samsung firmware is required and that means any or to match KI4 from the link .
The CPW KI4 is posted

Simple question guys.
Looking at this thread

Going update my SII.
I have 2.3.3 on there with Baseband I9100XXKE7, and a Kernal version of [email protected] #2.
SO build number is XWKF3.
Which firmware would be best for me? This is a unbranded Australian Stock SII.
Any help would be good, this modem, CSC file etc confuses me.
Hi,
I have a Telstra (Australia) Galaxy SII with the version information :
PDA: DVKF4
Phone: DVKF2
CSC: TELKF3
I found the thread which contains the links to a number of different firmwares
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
There are so many version there, I don't know which is appropriate for my phone.
Telstra has not released an update and there seems to be no plans to do so. The phone is still at V2.3.3. Great network, crap customer service......
I would like flash the phone with a genric rom so I can receive updates.
Can anyone advise me on what ROM I should use for Australia?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
John

Charlie,
Thanks for your reply.
I found the Telstra section and I am still confused.
This is what I found:
Australia
DVKF4: http://www.multiupload.com/UAZPBM0XAS
Firmware info: PDA DVKF4| PHONE DVKF2| CSC:TELKF3
DVKF4 Stock Kernel:http://www.multiupload.com/91ID4RZEMO

What is the difference between the downloads?
I assume the first link is the ROM I currently have in my phone. What is the Stock Kernel?
Regards

PS: I need an idiot's guide.

The first link includes the rom (stock im guessing) along with the second link, which is just the kernel.
Are you trying to flash a custom rom, or just official, because the download link rom is probably no different than the one you currently have on your phone. (if you havent flashed any rom yet)
If you are trying to flash a custom rom, I dont think any custom rom allows you to get the official update. (might be wrong)
I see.....
What I am looking for is an official generic ROM that is suitable in Australia.
I used to have an SE X10 before it died and I had a generic ROM flashed from the DaVinci site.
This thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 has a truck load of official ROMs and many Frankenstein ROMs which I assume are the custom ROMs.
My understanding is that if you flash with a generic ROM, you will get official ROMs when they are released by Samsung and you don't have to wait for your doppy carrier to provide a their cutomised version.
Is this correct?
Yes. If you flash one of those official firmwares from either of Intra's threads, you should be able to receive OTA updates via Kies. You can also use a PC app called Checkfus (search for it on here) to get official updates normally available via Kies (if you can't get updates via Kies for some reason).
P.S - For future reference, questions go in Q&A

Dont flash the Frankenstein firmware then:
+++++++[Frankenstein Firmwares]+++++++
These packages below are not official firmware packages, they are Frankenstein package created due to demand for Firmware with different CSC and modems and also leaked firmware packages. KIES will not recognise the firmware so you won't be able to update to new firmware using KIES unless you flash back to a firmware meant for your device first. Otherwise there will always be Odin to use for updates

Hi,
I want to get back to stock 2.3.3 on my S2 for warranty issues. I've figured DXKG3 firmware and kernel should be the right set (from "[ROM+Guide]Official i9100 Firmwares KG, KH, KI, KJ, KK1/2/5, KL1/2/3, LA2,4 Download").
However the download links are down for the files and I can't find any other links. I'm also a new user so I can't post there to request. Does anybody have any links for the DXKG3 stock firmware and kernel?
Thank you.
