Hi All,
I want to flash my Galaxy S II with Samsung's official Arabic ROM using Odin 1.83, I only have the (http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9100.htm), here's the ROM info:
Arabic Firmware CSC .PIT Android Country Date
I9100JPKG2 CSC = OJP EXT4.PIT 2.3.3 Egypt 2011 July
*) Will the ROM work on my attached SGSII version?
1) I only have the firmware .TAR file, do I need the CSC, Phone, PIT files?
2) From Options, shall I select the Re-partition option, or only Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time options?
Thanks all
1- Only select PDA, that's it.
2- NO. Keep the default check boxes.
Regards.
Thanks man, please see the attachment, will it work on my European device?
Any firmware will work over any firmware pal. That's why we have great Odin there
Regards.
I'll do it tonight
Thanks again
U r Welcome.
Best of luck.

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).

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

Hi everybody.
I am new to android. I have SGS II with:
-PDA: I9100XWKF3
-PHONE: I9100XXKE7
-CSC: I9100XXKF1
STOCK FIRMWARE NOT ROOTED.
I downloaded i9100XXKG1.zip file which contain the following files.
-CODE_I9100XXKG1_CL349526_REV02_user_low_ship.tar
-GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKG1.tar
-MODEM_I9100XXKG1_REV_02_CL1034110.tar
-u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit
If I rename this file and place into /sdcard folder is it possible to update my phone to the latest fw or not?

Do NOT do that you have to use odin and there are plenty of guides on the dev section on how to flash.
But a quick recap is install kies and then install odin, download the tar file put the phone into download mode and then ONLY click the pda button and point to the tar file and click start.
I REPEAT DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING ELSE.
Why do you want to flash a leaked non-official release the first thing you do if you're new to Android?
SGS2 is a great phone that gives a great experience out of the box, my suggestion is to update to latest official firmware for your region and then start to learn SGS2 and Android one step at a time.
There are tons of things to learn, it like learning a new language, it takes time. And starting with advanced stuff directly is asking for trouble.
Of course you're free to do as you want, but this is my recommendation.
The first step into the more advanced tweaking is to root the phone but I wouldn't hurry with that either.

I placed the low file in PDA, the modem in phone and csc in csc and then flashed, worked perfectly, that is the proper way to update I believe.... Don't do nothing with the pit file! Delete the pit, pit = danger

Thanks.
Thanks for your replies.
The only reason I want to update to 2.3.4 is because of video chat with gtalk.
I bought my phone In Sweden and it is Updated with latest available official firmware.
I am owner of a Bada phone and an Archos IT5 (Android 1.6) so I am not completely new to android os.
But anyway thanks a lot for your help.

So why not follow the instructions from the site you downloaded from ???
PDA low ship tar
Phone Modem
CSC CSC
PIT no
Kernel No

I downloaded it from sam firmware..no info was given regarding this.. anyways thanks
The instructions for flashing firmware downloaded from their site is on the site somewhere. I suggest you search for them & follow them if you want to to avoid potentially bricking your phone.
On samfirmware.com, there's a link at the very top navigation bar for "flash guides". Right next to "flash programs" and "service manuals". I'd start there...

Considering you probably have an I9100G, flashing random stuff will result in a shiny brick. Do more reading before you do something silly.
EXPERT ADVICE NEEDED !!!!
I would like to upgrade my S2(International) from the UAE CSC to the official Indian ICS version. Please help !!!
I have already downloaded the official XXLPQ/ODDLP7/DDLP8.tar.md5 ICS for India. Do I do this directly with Odin3 even though I have a different CSC ???
Also the most important thing to ask is :--
"Should I flash the Stock Kernel XXLPQ (I have this too) thru Odin3 BEFORE I UPGRADE to the official XXLPQ/ODDLP7/DDLP8 ???"
Somebody please guide me thru this with the necessary steps or Links !!!!!
THANX IN ADVANCE !!!

you can upgrade by flashing that downloaded package via odin.
your csc will change to india when you flash the rom.
no need to flash lpq kernel before upgrading
Hi everyone, sorry if this is a silly question, but I'm new to all this. Having looked at the different threads about upgrading firmware and the excellent video in the stock firmwares thread, I wonder if there's any firmware I can use that will allow me to set my region to HTD afterwards?
Thank you in advance,
Peter.
Does noone know this?
You can only use the HTD (3 branded crap). But change the CSC to NEE and use the updates Samsung wants you to get.
Det er derfor man ikke køber telefoner der er branded.
Ok, thanks, which firmware should I get to be able to change it to NEE?
From SamFirmware:
I9300XXALF5 4.0.4 2012 June I9300NEEALE4 Nordic countries
Is the newest Nordic release.
And the link: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/160853925/6030920/I9300XXALF5_I9300NEEALE4_NEE.zip.html
Hello. Thank you for the link. :good: Are there md5 checksums anywhere to control that the download is intact?

When you unzip there will be a CRC check and when you flash the file will be checked before flashing.

I've flashed the ROM you linked to, and it worked fine, but when I go to change the CSC from HTD to NEE I still only see HTD as an option. Do you know why that is? Thanks for all your help!
Only way I know will require a complete wipe.
