OK im going to flash my Galaxy S II with the latest KH3 firmware... Its an optus branded phone.
In order to keep the Optus settings, should I flash the PDA and Modem but NOT the CSC?
Or do I have to flash a CSC file?
Basically, I want to know if I leave the CSC field blank in Odin, will it just update the firmware and modem and keep the current Optus settings?
You just have to select PDA, nothing else.
Yes keep your old CSC
Modem is also optional, if your current one is treating you well stick with it.
PDA is rom+kernel.
Keep away from the pit
Aweomse thanks guys.
I going to flash the following two files:
PDA file: CODE_I9100XXKH3_CL479037_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
MODEM: MODEM_I9100XXKH3_REV_02_CL1050544.tar.md5
Does this look right? The PDA file is around 540MB

Yeh thats right if you want to flash the Rom+kernel and modem.
As its a user_low_ship rom it will wipe your handset, so backup anything you dont want to lose.

Hi,
I want to flash I9100XWKE7_XEUKD1_XXKE4 onto my i9100.
I downloaded this file from samsfirmware.com I9100XWKE7_XEUKD1_XXKE4, but it does not contain any files for Odin. It only has a I9100XWKE7_XEUKD1_XXKE4.tar.
However the instructions on samfirmware state that four files are required:
PIT
CSC
PHONE
PDA
If these are not available on Samfirmware, then where are these found?
Otherwise, I shall just flash the PIT file and the .tar file as PDA/PHONE/CSC and see if it works?
Regards.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Follow the instructions .

Thank-you. This is far clearer than the Smasung Flash PDF I had.
I have this installed. I shall try some thing sooner but with KE7.
PDA XWKE8
PHONE XXKDJ
CSC EUKD2
Is XXKDJ later or older than XXKE4?
If this is an alphabetical increase then I should think so.
Q1: Actually the guide you referred me to is rather unclear. (But it did help me a lot)
"If the package only contains one .tar archive then it will have everything, pda+phone+csc, in the one file."
Well, yep. This is clear, but it does not state in which part of Odin one puts the .tar file into. Is it:
1) PDA
2) PHONE
3) CSC
Does anyone know? My monies on PDA, but nothing states precisely which one.
Q2: PIT files. I _want_ to wipe everything out and start again. Think of this as a completely fresh install. Why you cry? Because I am trying to reset _everything_ before I return it back to Samsung as a faulty unit. Resetting (or reinstalling) should confirm or deny whether this is a hardware problem or not. Hence the desire to format all the discs and let it do its (presumably) mkfs.ext4 on the whole lot. Of course, it it does an mkfs on all the current disc partitions using the .tar then I don't mind not repartitioning the discs, but just incase. ;P

Put a multi one in PDA.
OK. Flashed it. Thank-you for your help. I think that it now has a recent radio in it than before.
Currently:-
PDA XWKE7
PH XXKE4
CSC XEUD1
Although, I had an FC whilst trying to set-up the APN on stock...
On a side note:
Its nice to see that Samsung still have not mended their APN settings software since the i9000. One still cannot enter APNs of certain configurations. In this case its Virgin Mobile in the UK. ( I am using a roaming SIM [VirginUK] in Holland to check that the 3G problem is limited to Tele2,NL). Funnily I am not alone: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1696824
Even after flashing stock, the 3G works intermittently in the same was as before.
I shall try and see what happens with KE2. Perhaps this phone needs to use the stock KE2 and its associated radio/csc to work correctly. ( I don't really know, but stock worked exceptionally well when I got the phone. It went a wrong after I flashed a custom ROM with KE7 and KE8).

I used Virgin UK on SGS2 no problem on KDD KDH modem and KD1O2U CSC .
Sometimes the UK carphone warehouse csc CPW covers Virgin better than the standard CSC i found on SGS1 .

Since last night I have tried full PDA/CSC/PHONE for KE2 KE7 and now KF1 (with MultiCSC). I think that this is not a phone problem but a change on the either Tele2 NL or T-Mobile networks. (Tele2 being a MVNO).
I never got the Virgin sim working: Unable to set the APN.
I shall start a new thread about this later in order to diagnose the problem.
The stock roms from samfirmware are zipped in a RAR file.
Inside this RAR file there are files labelled .tar.md5
Are we supposed to relabel these .tar.md5 files to .tar?

Do you mean
1) Put the I9100XWF1_OLBKE5_DXKF1.rar file into ODIN PDA and flash? But this is a rar file!
or
2) MODEM_I9100DXKF1_REV_02_CL1017685.tar.md5 directly into modem, PDA to PDA and CSC to CSC?
ODIN recognizes .tar.md5 files?
Hi there,
I am unable to flash back my GT-9100 firmware back to its original state as i flash a modified PDA, Phone and CSC files into it.
The problem that i faced is i am unable to select which files for which section of Odin after downloading the ROM from Infratech's post.
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/542/firmware.jpg
Basically i do not know why the files came out this way.
Anyway the files that i having now is GT-I9100_XME_I9100DXKH2_I9100DXKH1_I9100OLCKH1
Thanks..
On top of that i actually wanted to re-install the firmware with:-
XWKF1
PDA:XWKF1
PHONE: DXKF1

Hello,
I just flashed with odin the new ICS firmware out on sammobile for sgs2 (I9100XXLP6 ##) which came with a file for PDA, for CSC and for Phone, but now that I am trying to flash again any 2.3.6. firmware I keep getting errors already at the start when associating my google account and stuff...
I assume that is because of the additional CSC and PHONE file that was included in I9100XXLP6 ## but I don´t know where to find the refering files for 2.3.6. firmwares since these only come with 1 file (for PDA)...
I would be glad for any help I can get
Hi,
Could you give more information about the errors? At what point do they occur? What errors do you get?
The csc files can be found somewhere on xda, use the search function. The file you need for the phone is called a modem, can also be found on xda.
Although I do not expect that this causes the errors, how did you restore? Did you while your phone and cache first?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
What 2.3.6 rom are u trying to flash on?
If the DL was dodgy it would cause problems, redownload and reflash
PIT: if included, also optional
PDA:Code
Phone:modem
CSC:multi csc
Did you do a full wipe?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Make sure you are back on the GB boot loaders and that you have done a full wipe.

3. Once you install the XWKK5 completely. turn off the phone and go into recovery mode and perform the wipes
I hope to help and luck.
I hope you understand me and sorry but my English is a bit bad jejjee
I flashed this update, throuch odin, and now the phone will only boot into download mode or the screen that says to use kies recovery. The problem is, even though I can boot into download mode, the computer no longer recognizes my phone. No sounds when I plug it in or anything. If I plug a jig in, it will come on so it's not the port. Can someone help me?

Did you do a full wipe ? wipe cache?

You need a three part firmware, with modem, csc and pda, flash with pit and repartition, to do a full wipe. I think you used a non wipe firmware, that's the reason for the bugs.
Question
When you flashed the LP6, did you flash it with the .pit file too? I suggest you flash back to your stock ROM but you also have to flash a .pit file as well. This happened to me too when I flashed the KP8 ROM. I reflashed my stock ROM but it kept giving me errors at the initial boot. So I flashed my stock ROM again this time with the same .pit file. If I'm not mistaken it's this: u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit

Did you get the 2.3.6 firmware? If not look at this thread from Infratech: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278. Have a good look at the section marked "Individual CSC Packages". Maybe this could help if you suspect a wrong CSC being the cause of your problem.

You use Odin right?
Volume down, home, powerbutton. Yes most probably.
Then its no harm TRY install another PDA. Rooted or not.
If it dont work, like a "boot-loop" or "kernel panic", just
"Odin" back the "old" PDA.
I have experimented hard with mix pda's, modems, and scs's,
and stumbled much, but always been able use Odin and restore.
Mixing versions as for example OXXLPB and XEOLPQ CAN make "kernel
panic", but no worry, just use Odin and restore to working
People say its allmost impossible "brick" our Galaxy S2's, so Im atleast,
are never scared to try some new stuff
Just be careful with experiement with "bootloader" in Odin. Im told that can
be scary.
Good luck, and have fun
Hi guys,
Im having a difficult time finding out how i can get back to the nordic official samsung rom.
I have no idea what i should flash and if i need Odin or just use recovery..
So if there is a kind soul out there that can point me to the correct files, and explain it step by step, i will be forever gratefull!
Yes, I know there are some guides, and i have tried reading them.. But I dont want to **** this up, as I need the phone tomorrow for work :/
So, please, if you can help me, i will be very gratefull
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S2
Country: Norway
Check the model under the battery.
Go to sammobile.com and get your ROM for your region.
Or use checkfus downloader and get the ROM for Norway.
Also mind you, You can flash any region ROM for i9100 in your phone.

Ok i now have the rom from Sammobile and Odin with a Pit file.
I must then go to download mode on phone, and what settings should i have when i now flash?
Should i use the PIT file?
The guide from sammobile was just a repair guide, didnt help me at all..
I have I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXXLPD_NEE.zip.
I have Odin.
What now?
Whatever you do, don't use the PIT file.

But what do i need to do then?
I have the I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXXLPD_NEE.zip (should i extract it?).
And Odin ready.
Do I need more files?
Follow the flashing guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Chris.
No don't use pit, don't know how you get that.
Just extract the zip file you will get tar.md5, put it in pda under Odin.
Also the file you got is ics, just to let you know, if that matters.
So this is how i understand it after reading alot.
1. Unzip the I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXXLPD_NEE.zip
2. Open Odin 1.83
3. Choose the unzipped file I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXXLPD_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar.md5 as PDA.
4. Flash without ticking ANY of the options in Odin.
5. Sucess??
Can someone PLEASE confirm?
Already linked above the guide
See exactly what to check what to uncheck
