Whats the latest firmware for unbranded & unlocked? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Kies tell me I already have the latest version. 2.3.3 XWKF3

You do have the latest. Are you not going to get an iPhone seeing how you have so many issues with this plasticky brick?

So where is my unlocked phone from? I thought it was from Chile...
Edit: Must be Brazilian. All I know is the menu was in Spanish when I first turned it on.

Input *#1234# in the dialpad and post the CSC details, that's how we'll know what region it's from. Will be either Trinidad and Tobago (TTT), Dominican Republic (TDR), Venezuela (VNO) or Costa Rica (TPA).

CSC: I9100uubkg6

Ah, thanks. So is it one of the first to get 2.3.4?

Yes, along with Polish devices.

wondering this too....

Well then I recommend reading then you can stop wondering......

Wow .. someone who understands the naming convention ! Can you please tell me which original versions contain Czech in it ? What letters I'm supposed to look for ?
I've seen convention tables on samfirmware .. but there are no ROMs with names they describe.
At the moment I have ROM made for T-mobile Germany, which also contains Czech .. but I want unbranded ROM.

It's not listed on Samfirmware anymore as all there new releases will be uploaded SamMobile.com
Ok, I get that flashing a firmware from samfirmware.com can change your CSC code.
So far I've been very careful to choose only OXX/TPH ROMs as this is the closest match for my phone (unlocked, Portuguese edition) - but Kies still somehow knows that my firmware is unofficial.
What the heck does Kies check to discover whether or not the firmware is official or unofficial? anyone have any tips? is it the IMEI number?
Is there any other problem that can come from flashing a firmware that doesn't match whatever internal value for CSC that the phone thinks it is?

Sorry for a bit offtopic but how to do for downloading at Twitter?
Well, just installed to test (CM7.1 will probably be back on my SGA soon though!) and it does indeed seem to resolve the Virgin (and Orange and T-Mobile UK?) SMS with 3G problem. Sent about a dozen now and all have gone where previously I would maybe get 2 before it stopped working. Don't want to be hasty but it's definitely looking promising. Cheers! (",)
Same here - seems to have resolved my problem sending SMS with packet data switched on. T-Mobile UK BTW.

Some say (on a different forum) that root does not work with this rom. Can anyone check and confirm whether root does work or not.

It's a samsung rom, so there is no changelog. I doubt that even samsung has it... Where did this rom originally come from, which area i mean? Is there a chance that it might come upgradeable through kies?

It's originally for Spain (FOP).
Its description is as follows:
Download Country: Spain
Regions: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom
Some say (different forum again) that KIES has signalled the upgrade from KTM into this KTQ and it happened in Poland, i.e. outside the regions mentioned above. It's even stranger for an unbranded rom as KIES AFAIK normally doesn't care for unbranded.

Root not working
I used one (single) root update.zip, but root is not succesful, why?
and what about a new rom with polish?
It was really strange for me...
I flashed ROM through Odin, but it seems it installed it as an upgrade as I still have my old Apps and rooted....
Although "About Phone" Says XWKTQ

Which Country Gets Fastest Updates?

Hello!
My friend's I9300 is still stuck on Android 4.0.4 build number IMM76D.I9300JKBLH3.
I want to flash him an updated version using ODIN. I want it to be from the country that get updates the fastest, so he would always be updated as he don't know how to use ODIN, and he is afraid.
So, what is the best build to flash right now?
He needs Hebrew to be available for the stock keyboard. No need for full UI translation.
Thanks!
No country gets fastest update .
All you can say is Europe generally in front of the rest of the world .
Exact roll out varies .
Hebrew would be your first item for a firmware version .

I mean first to be released, and not fast as Google...
So any European version will be good? Which one would you recommend?
Thanks!
There is not faster countries than other, but in general Europe countries get updates first.
Any country will be good.
Im using 4.1.2 from Israel (PDA:I9300XXELL4 CSC:I9300OJKELK9)
Poland was the first one to release Jellybean (4.1.1)
But wasn't the first one to release 4.1.2
Is your friend from Israel too?
Cause Israel already released 4.1.2
For several phone companies

What country is stuck in 4.0.4, I am sorry but I can't find any.
Plug in KIES and check.. maybe his CSC and other settings don't match.

Why laggy? They are 3 Versions: 1 for unbranded and 2 for branded phones.
I think they all both the same. The difference are only the branded apps.

Samsung Galaxy S duos updates for unsupported countries

my first post, okay i live in ethiopia and i happen to get my hands on a galaxy s duos which i doubt its original since it dont have the duos logo on right top and antutu says i have 3.1 and .3 mp of camera but its the same elsewhere on the phone, ram, processor.
Now my question is my country is not listed on the update list and so can i use a very updated rom from random country and update it? or should i wait to someday it gets in? and if yes with what installer cause OTA is impossible?
okay i have to use odin, but please tell me the the rest!

first you have to be sure it is original or not check on setting-about
and post also check on the battery compartment back of the phone and post
if it is not original you cant use odin you have to try something else

the GLB with xxbmd2 which is required for most custom roms is philipines and in bracket it says global. should i go for it? i got the device from a contraband importer in which its the convinient means to get cheap phones though illegal. its very expensive from certified importers. to accomplish that they have to ditch the carton and pretend its theirs so its more likely from asia but no idea where its originally from!
hey i saw this baseband upgrader with KOR v3.4.0

And usualy samsung updates.com and sammobiles.com are genuine sites in we believe which provides original samsung firmwares so downloading from those will be better and i guess your phone is as said is an asia model so download an asian firmware nothing bad will happen if it doesnt work we can try another
