Hi all,
I have a Galaxy s2 on three uk network and it is locked with them, I was wondering if i root it by flashing "XWKDD_insecure.tar" in odin will it work or mess up my network settings.
Also I do not want the warning triangle on startup and so was wondering where I could find a Vanilla gingerbread official samsung ROM.
Thanks for your help

Hello everyone,
I recently got an upgrade though T-Mobile (in UK) for a Samsung Galaxy S2. Its simply awesome, but I'm a newbie to the Android OS. Hence I have very less knowledge as to what is happening with the android OS rooting, updating etc.
So on to the main topic, I got my phone (model GT-I9100) on 2.3.5 and the base band is I9100BOKJ1.
I would like to remove the T-Mobile branding and the other software which there installed have it.
So could someone please guide me though how I could root and update my firmware to Standard samsung with out the carriers crap installed and still use the phone with my carrier?
My phone is unlocked by default as another sim card works from another carrier.
Could someone walk me through step by step as to how i could root and update my firmware to standard and unlock the device Any help is much appreciated.
I have attached a screen shots of my x#1234#
Thanks.

Hello guys.
Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300
I was wondering if anyone could answer a few questions for me. I rooted my new phone using the toolkit method from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488 and now i am confused about the firmware versions,and if the kernel was changed and such. I forgot to check all these versions before i rooted the phone,so have no idea if these are the original ones.
My phone is bought and used in Denmark,however the firmware suggests it is now a uk version looking at the country code could this be correct? If i look at this http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9300&pcode=HTD&os=1&type=1#firmware my AP/PDA number is the same,but the CSC number is different,is this normal?
this is apparently the stock samsung firmware for my phone PDA:I9300XXBLH3 CSC:I9300HTDBLH1 from the sammobil site, and after root mine says PDA/AP: I9300XXBLH3 CSC:I9300NEEBLH2
I would like to know if this is normal? Can i use the 4.1.1. jellybean (2012 October 4.1.1 PDA:I9300XXDLJ1 CSC:I9300HTDDLI1) on my phone using odin to flash it? Or do i have to find a firmware with exactly the same numbers as my current ones?
I am afraid i might have done something wrong,however everything works,and root checker says i have root access,and superuser is installed on the phone,if the toolkit has "updated" or changed my firmware/kernel to a uk one,does it matter?
Also,after root my phone now shows up as Galaxy Tab in utorrent,but it is still I9300 in my windows7, why is this?
Did toolkit 5.0 save my original rom/kernel/firmware before rooting? If so,where?
I would be extremely grateful for someone to easy my worrying
Thank You

Thank you for the answer. I understand everything now.. And it works fine.. I did however use the wrong firmware rom,so i got different operator,i found the correct stock firmware,and will be starting from scratch using the cf-root method with the correct stock rom.
Thank you

Rooting your phone doesn't change your firmware.. You're still on the stock firmware unless you flashed a new rom. Goto settings>about device> and see your build.. Then goto Sammobile and downlaod the rom that is listed for Panama and matches your carrier or build whichever. Download it and flash it rom via Odin and you'll be unrooted.
though i don't see any point in unrooting. Rooted is always better.
My S2 is locked to the UK network T-Mobile/EE. Unfortunately it seems the network provider has given up on ever releasing Jelly Bean for the S2 via Kies so I'm looking for help to do this manually. Is it possible to flash Jelly Bean on an S2 that is locked to a network, or do I need to unlock the phone first?
Is there a guide for upgrading from ICS to JB, including where to download the firmware?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
You need to read mate. 4.0.4 bad firmware. Do you have it now. If so look up BRICK BUG. You want to move to 4.1.2? Sammobile is the place to go. To network unlock look up gs2 unlock in playstore. Efs pls read about that. Just read alot before you have a paper weight. look up noob threads too. Lots to read :thumbup:
alliance v8
dorimamx 8.27
nels1 "three uk"
My S2 is locked to the 3 network and always has been....I've rooted it and I've lost count of the number of different firmwares/custom ROMs I've flashed onto it....
In terms of OS unlocking (rooting), that depends on what you want to do....
If you want to flash an unbranded firmware, you don't need root....
If you want to explore custom (aftermarket) ROMs then you DO need root.....
And just to echo andrewwright.....
If you're currently running ICS 4.0.4.
move safely away from it as soon as you can

hi ive just picked up an i9300 which is on 4.0.4....when i check for updates on the phone it says none available also when connected to kies it says the phone cant be updated using kies
after doing some research i discovered it had 2 counts in the custom binary download but was on official current binary and system status in the download mode screen
anyway ive rooted and used triangle away n it now shows as no counts....but still no ota updates n still kies says cant be updated..tried temp unroot and root keeper but still no joy
now ive flashed stuff before on other phones but with this one i gather i need to flash the stock rom to remove root but have looked everywhere with no joy only stuff i can find are foreign roms on 4.0.4 nothing newer
im in the uk with an unlocked s3 i9300 with the following info:
AP: I9300XXALE8
CP; I9300XXLE8
CSC; I9300OJVALE7
My main questions are has this been updated beyond 4.0.4
where can i find the correct stock rom
would reflashing the rom make the counter go up
if its not been updated past 4.0.4 id not be that fussed but its always nice to run the latest available official update, dont wanna go the custom rom route
please dont tell me off...ive looked honest!
thankyou in advanced
is this the one i need?
