Dear all,
I am new to this valuable forum & resource. I have been searching within the forum for the past few days & I am looking for help please. I have the following SGSII:
PDA: I9100JPKG3
Phone: I9100XXKG1
CSC: Unknown
Product code: GT-I9100LKADAM
Kernel version:
2.6.35.7-I9100JPKG3-CL388633
[email protected] #2
Build Info: Sun Jul 17, 2011 13:52:14 KST 2011
I have the following simple questions:
1. I have extensively searched the forum, & I couldn't find any information about this firmware JPKG3! I only found JPKG2 & JPKG5. Is my mobile's firmware official although I bought it from an official reseller in my country?
2. The CSC is unknown & I found a post by Intratech providing the CSC file: "csc_xsg_i9100ojpkg1" for Arabic language. Is is possible to use Odin to flash my SGSII with this CSC file only? And if I flash it, will I solve the "Unknown" issue? Do I need to backup my data? Will the data be wiped out?
3. I also could not find the product code GT-I9100LKADAM throughout the whole website! Any help on that?
4. The Kernel version mentioned above is a bit weird. Is the firmware rooted? I personally didn't do so knowing that i bought the mobile brand new.
5. If I updated to the newer version JPKG5 using Odin, will I solve the Unknown CSC & Kernel issues? Also, will my data be wiped out?
6. Kies does not recognize my mobile! Any help? Is it because of this firmware?
I would really appreciate your valuable help on the above questions. Thanks in advance.
Just flash the JPKG5 from the firmware thread, it's the latest firmware for your device and the DAM CSC is included as the package is a multi-CSC one.

Thanks Intratech for your quick reply. Honestly, I wanted to thank you for your post on the official firmwares but I couldn't do it there since I'm still new... I enjoyed & benefited a lot in every post your wrote It's a master piece...
What about the Kernel issue? Is my current one rooted? If yes, will it be solved when I flash to JPKG5?
Also, what about the product code? I couldn't find anything related to it anywhere! Is it because it's still new in my country?
Finally, after I flash to JPKG5, will Kies recognize my phone?
Thank you Intratech for your valuable help...
No, it's not rooted despite the label however flashing the kernel will update it to the newer kernel. DAM product code is covered by the firmware, if you look in the bracket you will see a list of the CSC covered and DAM is included.

Dear Intratech,
I followed your procedures at the original post & flashed JPKG5 with Odin. Everything went fine & smooth. However, when I tried to change the CSC I got the following list: (XSS, XSG, WAN, TUN, THR, PAK, OTU, MWD, MMC, MID, MED, MAT, LEV, KSA, EGY, BTC, AFG, ABS). It's different than the list mentioned in your post & there is no DAM in it. So what can I do now? Is there a firmware that contains DAM? By the way, I do not know for which country/region DAM stands for? Can you help please? So I currently used the LEV CSC which is the closest to my country!
My updated device data are the following:
Product Code: GT-I9100LKALEV
PDA: I9100JPKG5
Phone: I9100XXKG1
CSC: I9100OJPKG1
Build Info: Thu Jul 28 19:58:32 KST 2011
Kernel version:
2.6.35.7-I9100JPKG5-CL428948
[email protected] #2
Additionally, when I use Kies, I get: "This version of the device cannot be updated." However, it recognizes it as PDA:KG5 / PDA:KG1 / CSC:KG1 (LEV). Does this mean I can no longer update the firmware through Kies?
Can you please help on the above issues? It's much appreciated. Thanks.

I will investigate this for you. Once there is a newer firmware for your device then KIES will allow you to update.

Hi,
It looks like the *#1234# method does not always show the real version of the firmware that is installed.
To get detailed data you have to install Kies_2.0.0.11044_11_3.exe which you can find here:
http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as
Or directly here:
http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...5/20110521192620273/Kies_2.0.0.11044_11_3.exe
After you install it you have to start it up and connect your SG2.
Please wait until Kies connects successfully.
Now you have to open/run regedit (e.g. "Windows-Key" + "R" to open run dialog and then type "regedit").
Go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\1".
Here you will find the "HIDSWVER" key with the original versions.
The "ProductCode" key is also important in order to help Intratech to get the original Brand ROM.
For example this is the information you should send Intratech when asking for ROMs:
Carrier: Entel PCS Chile

Do it yourself:
On the other hand you can do it also by yourself using "Check Fus Downloader" from LuffarJoh:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032437
Here you can find the executable:
http://fus.nanzen.se/
Or directly here:
http://www.nanzen.se/download.php?id=9
You have to copy the FusCipherUtil.dll from your Kies installation (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\FusCipherUtil.dll ) to the same directory as the "Check Fus Downloader".
Then you have to run "Check Fus Downloader" and set the following in the "Firmware Info" section for the above Entel PCS Chile example:
Product Code: GT-I9100LKLCHE
PDA: I9100UHKE1
CSC: I9100CHEKE1
Phone: I9100UHKE1
In the "Choose a firmware" section you have to select "GT-I9100".
Then click the "Check firmware" button.
In the example test case you will see a successful message in the "Result" section that offers you a "Download this firmware" button.

For some reason 3 Austria have not authorised the release of the firmware on FUS so it's now available to download.

Hey Guys,
I've tried all morning to find out what i should pick to flash my new phone, i've searched the forum but atm everything is kinda making me go crazy. I've understand that Different regions got different firmware, i've checked the post about all the official firmware. But now I must admit, i've given up and admit to seek help in here.
My phone:
PDA: I9100XWKF3
Phone: I9100XXKE7
CSC: I9100XXKF1
Location: Denmark
Language: Danish
Android: 2.3.3
NEW FIRMWARE:
I wish to run 2.3.4 ofc, so im looking for a firmware that enables this.
I've found by reading allot of posts in here, that this site have allot:
http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9100.htm
The problem is, that they have allot of different and seems to make no sense, wich one i should pick.
Here is a little list:
I9100XXKG1 ## EXT4.PIT 2.3.4 2011 July 5 MULTI - CSC - OXAKG1
I9100XXKH3 ## EXT4.PIT 2.3.4 2011 August 12 MULTI - CSC - OXAKH13
I9100XXKH1 ## EXT4.PIT 2.3.4 2011 August 1 MULTI - CSC - OXAKH1
Problem:
My phone is atm at: I9100XWKF3 and on the list there is no such thing. Only KH1-KH3-KG..
What is the risk by flashing one of them?, i mean KF and KH is not the same i guess...
Could someone please help me to find the right one for me?
Many THanks.
Well you are on KF3 firmware like me. It's an old build. Still 2.3.4 hasn't released officially yet, so only option is a leaked ROM if you wanna get 2.3.4. Just download an European firmware from this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
There is NO risk involved, but keep in mind that it's not the Official firmware, so Kies will stop giving you any information on future firmware updates.

OXAKH3 is KH3 firmware of Europe region.
Official update should be coming soon, depends on damn Samnsung, when they will release it to Kies servers. If you want Kies updates, then as I said, you need to be on a Stock firmware, Kies won't show any updates if your device is on a Custom/Leaked firmware.

Hello
I've bought a new Galaxy SII recently, and faced a problem with the market, it crashes and not a single solution I read on the internet has helped me.
I've thought if I upgrade to 2.3.4 from 2.3.3 it could solve the problem, KIES doesn't offer me any upgrade.
My firmware is specific to the Middle East, it includes support for Arabic keyboard.
Now I have two questions after I've read the topic Official i9100 Firmwares KF1/2/3/4/, KG1/2/3/5/6/7, KH1/2/3/4 Download
1) If I upgrade to a version which isn't specific to the Middle East, will I lose the support for Arabic keyboard?
2) Should I be strict to the phone baseband version?
Baseband version: XXKG5
Build Number: JPKH1
In another word, should I choose the versions for Baseband XXKG5 only from that thread?
1. If you use a version that is not specific to the middle east, you will lose your arabic support but there are now mods where you can add arabic support to any rom.
2. Baseband equals modems that you can change, you might find better reception with a newer modem.
3. csc which contains the information for connecting to the internet, you will need to keep the same :
Regarding CSC, I can add IPNs on my own, so it doesn't matter for me then?
Thank you
Post the specifics of your current firmware. Input *#1234# in the dialpad and post the details as they appear on here.
JPKH1 is Arabic firmware

I'm rooted using CF matched Kernel and have remained on that, does no harm as far as i'm aware except for yellow triangle at boot..
I'd like to go from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 too and wondering about what to flash and what would fit, my CSC is Carphone Warehouse would that be correct? How important is it to match CSC?
Regards Baseband, doesn't really matter does it?
And firmware, thought about Frankenstein XXKF3 or 4 or am I getting things totally wrong?
And on that note, does the firmware version stiplulate which ROM I can load?

Ok. Try clearing the market data under manage applications and see if that works.
If you're not using an Arabic firmware you won't have Arabic language support.
I tried it many times, it just doesn't work, I tried to do factory reset, installed a newer version (3.0.26 & 3.0.27) I moved MarketUpdater.apk (someone said it works). Nothing at all was useful to me. I want to have the complete experience, I want to access the market, but it doesn't work!!
I have the same problem in my fiancee's X8 xperia too.
I don't know if it's related to my country (market isn't available here, it's forbidden here). I rooted my device and installed & configured SSH Tunnel, I sniffed the network and made sure that it connects through the ssh tunnel, but it crashes every time.

I should do it in Odin using the PDA box, right?
I've finished the restore of the original firmware, it didn't help the app still crashes!!
Sound like it's been sabotaged. We need an Android intifada in your country to stop the oppression against the Android market.
There is already intifada in Syria
But not Android intifada though.

Here you can find the links, but some of them are dead. You need to ask Intratech to post new link for yours.
If you're after the original firmware that came with your phone, you're probably out of luck. However, you can get the latest firmware available for your phone/carrier/country using an app called Checkfus. Search for it on here.

I got no idea how all this rooting stuff works. Im trying to learn but I can get my head around it. So sorry if any of my questions seem stupid. Thanks for all your help in advance.
No need rooting to flash.
And yes you can flash Telstra firmware on Voda model, they are the same hardwares.
You need Odin 3.04 and need samsung usb driver or if you already have it working with Kies, then no worries about driver.
Here I copied the general instruction from the UK thread:
Instructions For Flashing Firmware:
Extract the firmware
Launch Odin
Turn off your device
Put your device into Download MODE (Home + Volume Down + Power)
Click PDA and select *.tar.md5
Then finally click START!
Thanks mate. Am downloading the firmware now. Its gonna take 2 hours to download.
Am I meant to change any of the options in Odin3?
Thanks again.
Now that I have flashed my galaxy s3 successfully.
I keep getting the message "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped"
Does anyone know what this is or can direct me into the right place? Ive done a factory reset as another thread recommended but didnt work.
Thanks
