KPH is the latest version (2.3.4) which theoretically should be better than KPN (2.3.3), but i have found many ROMS's have KPN as their base & these ROM's are supposed to be the fastest & stable of all ROM's . I am using the latest 2.3.4 KPH Stock ROM provided by Samsung ; & so m confused to which ROM should i go for , those based on KPH or KPN. Please guys if anyone can help me much appreciated (even though i m sound dumb to some people !!)
2.3.4 KPH is not the latest. It was a leaked ROM dated June 2, 2011.
2.3.3 KPN is an official release by Samsung dated July 13, 2011.

it might be complete.... but it's a leaked rom
not even even samsung feel it stable enough to give it official release (otherwise, we'll get 2.3.4 KPH official release instead)
being official release (through kies, samsung service center), samsung must have feel that KPN already stable for mass release. iron some bug, etc.

either seperate file (all 4 including appboot, pda, modem, csc) or one package (but also must include every file needed) work just fine.
i use this
2.3.3 KPN firmware - http://www.multiupload.com/Y643XGWMMN (password: sampro.pl)
it's one package file that include all 9 files needed for full package.
i use it to flash my ace from froyo stock
How to flash one package? In odin check One Package and just mount the rar and click start? What about OPS file?

You need the Cooper_v1.0.ops and then enable one package. Afterwards select the zip in one package.
You can download everything here.
Note that you have to extract the first zip folder until there's only one zip left which is called S5830XWKPN_S5830XWKP6_S5830OXXKP7_HOME

The only new feature kph 2.3.4 has that is not present in kpn 2.3.3 is the video chat in gtalk.
Galaxy Ace users cant even use that feature because the phone does not have a front facing camera.
That is why a lot of ROMs are based on KPN. For the reason that most bugs have been fixed and Samsung has ironed it out already.

I have flashed fla.sh X2 on top of KPH (even though the author said it's KPN-based), and I have yet to encounter problems such as SoD's, FC's and such. I don't if I'm just lucky or it's something I did, but I can't seem to recreate the SoD problems (but I try, though).

Android 2.3.4 is on par with KPH, so it doesn't seem like you are outdated.
But if I were you, just to be safe, I'd still flash it with KPH or KPN if I wanted to use a custom ROM.
I'm sorry for asking, but which country are you from? (Can't see the flag under your avatar as I'm browsing through my phone).

Hi, I've just gotten my galaxy ace for 3 days. I updated my fone to gingerbread using S5830XXKPE and odin from samfirmware. It's been restarting/shutting down by itself after the update so I wanted to downgrade to froyo again but I tried downloading and flashing a lot of other versions but, no luck. It hangs and stays at the "Galaxy ace" part of the boot and doesn't open. But whenever I flash it back to S5830XXKPE, it opens and works but I think it is bugged and I really cannot downgrade to other firmwares. Is anyone else having the same problem??? Help please >_<
Update:
I've successfully flashed it with S5830XXKPB but still its GB 2.3.3, I still can't flash it with froyo 2.2.1 firmwares. help pretty pleaseeeee...
Download a multipackage 2.2.1 firmware, one that when you unzip it will have several files. You probably flashed a single package .tar that caused the brick.
A single package update contains only some files to be replaced over the original 2.2 firmware and is not the full rom so you'll have to flash a multi package then update to your desired single package.
XDA ♥
Thanks for replying. Actually I'm using odin multidownloader 4.38 and yes, I did use the multipack not a single .tar.
Here are the list of firmware I've downloaded and used to flash my phone but unsuccessful all attempts: (and some firmware I've deleted because of anger lol) )
S5830XXJLC
S5830XXKA7
S5830XWKB7
S5830XXKC1
and now these two are the ones that boot up when I flash on my phone: (both GB)
S5830XXKPE
S5830XXKPB
I did successfully downgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.2.1 though. I believe the firmware from Samfirmware.com will have labelled "MULTI-CSC" or something like it.. I can't check now it's midnight here and sleeping time...
XDA ♥
okay, I'll try that too. Imma download 2.3.4 from samfirmwares then try downgrading to froyo. I'll tell ya how it goes. (crosses fingers) )
Successfully flashed to 2.3.4 but downgrading...no luck. What could be the problem...ohhhh maaaannnn!!! >_<

Not to threadjack or anything but I did downgrade from 2.3.4 down to 2.1 XWKB7 everything works fine, Im on my correct CSC and the apn was preconfiged like it should be but when i connect to kies It says that it cant update my phone and marks my CSC as SER (wich it was with 2.3.4) but according to *272* Im using NEE
(wich is nordic as best I can gather)
Hope you guys understand this mess
Well do you have a nandroid backup of your system, data, etc?
No, I thought nandroid wasn't an option for us yet?
I have the correct csc and modem but its not the same PDA I have kb7 but stock was kc2
Just to update, kies was in a better mood today than yesterday and saw that I had the correct CSC and gave me an upgrade to stock

I have also included the XXKG1 modem because I find the Wi-Fi to be more stable than with the XXKE7 or the NEKF2.
Click here to download here the I9100XWKG1_XXKG1_OXXKF1 rom (Link removed!)
Its one big tar.. Flash with ODIN as always...
Who should flash? In phone type : *#1234# and check that your CSC is OXX??? at the end.
Have fun
UPDATE: Im not sure you should use this rom... It seemed fine but I think the battery is getting too hot when charging!!
hey mr jkay
What do you think off its stabiliti
will try it out ,then i give feedback on this
Hi,
Do I understand well that this package was created by you? Or is this a STOCK/OFFICIAL Samsung Package release for the Nordic countries?

Cant find this on kies. Is this a frankenstein rom?
Yeah It's XWKG1 from samfirmware. But have replaced the cache.img and modem.bin files so its easier to flash. Works great on my SGS2.

Great news!!! I have installed and works fine with my ACE L version, the 3G connection works fine (my operatos works in 1900MHz frec)
This is the information in samsung kies
The downloaded file is an EXE, run and get a TAR file, flash with ODIN with signle package option.
If you come from 2.2.1 is very important to flash another samfirmware ROM such KPH, then flash this.
If you come from 2.3 don't worry.
And good news, this is original and appears in Samsung Kies, look
is it this one from samfirmware because there it is stated as 2.3.3?

Nop, in SamFirmware only appear the Global Version, this firmware is for the L version, not for the Global, B or T, only for L, this device update to Ginger this day, this is and original firmware and the LatinoAmerican Users with unbranded devices see this update via samsung kies, in the second post I put a screen capture.
For the B and T version exist the 2.3.4 from Vivo Brazil, search in this forum if you want to download it

I don't know based band version should I use, that's why I'm asking.
I heard that KPN is 2.3.3 is running okay for some users, but samfirmware provide only one package file, as I had read some forums using one package for flashing is not that secure and it can brick your phone.

You can't brick your phone flashing one package, only using ROM MANAGER can do that...
And KPN will work if your company works in 2100 mhz baseband, for that I asked you the baseband of you operator. If you can't answer that, nobady will help you

You won't be able to directly flash the one package if you are on different platform, like 2.2 flashing 2.3 one package. But if you're already on 2.3 one package has no problems.

Hey! I'm on Froyo 2.2.1 right now and planning to updgrade to 2.3.3. This means I cannot use "one package" for flashing, right?
You can use KPN as your baseband for upgrading then apply custom roms that suites you . Even if your KPN is from russia or what it doesn't matter. (I hope I helped you in a way )

Search the baseband of your company. For example, my company works in 1900 mhz (Entel Chile)
any baseband works as far as the released roms are concerned. if you're planning to use one package KPN, upgrade to another 2.3.3 rom first like KPE

Hi All,
I bought a used galaxy S2 I9100 yesterday,new to android.I have been a iphone user for 4 years and pretty aware of jailbreaking, unlocking installing custom firmwares. the terminology here in Android world is different though.
Have searched and read through different guides on the forum but still got some questions.
Model GT i900 LKAH3G
PDA i9100XWKE1
CSC I9100H3GKD4
Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 [email protected] # 2
Build Number GINGERBREAD.XWKE1
Looks like it was on Three network but it is unlocked mobile as i can use my airtel sim on the phone.
I dont want the Three network related stuff on the phone so i need to debrand the phone -- how to do it? there is guide on XDA forum but it talks primarily for O2 phones or might be i did not read it correctly. (there are also some options like the network mode which are disabled on this ROM )
Once debranding is done should i be ok to use any ROM or kernel?
Which would be best ROM to be installed and will it work for me in India.
Can i install the custom ROM and would i be able to install apps from the android Market.
If these have already been answered , can you please provide the link for that thread.
Thank You
I'd advice you to try the new ics roms, you can find the instructions inside the various rom threads, flashing these roms will get rid of the three junk as well as update your phone to the latest android os a.k.a ICS ..........
there is no such thing as a best rom for a specific country, but you can try different modems to find the one that gives you the best network and battery, you can find your modem under the baseband in about phone....
google for more info
happy flashing and welcome to Android we luf you here...........
Learn how to use Odin
Download stock gb from from checkfus or sammobile.
Flash using Odin, you will be unbranded.
After that root using cfroot, now learn how to use cfroot.

I'd advice you to try the new ics roms, you can find the instructions inside the various rom threads, flashing these roms will get rid of the three junk as well as update your phone to the latest android os a.k.a ICS ..........
there is no such thing as a best rom for a specific country, but you can try different modems to find the one that gives you the best network and battery, you can find your modem under the baseband in about phone....
google for more info
happy flashing and welcome to Android we luf you here...........

Hi KJplasma &atifsh
Thank you for the details.
can i install the below listed indian stock firmware using odin
PDA :I9100XWKE8 CSC:I9100ODDKE2
or do i need to install the firmware from UK
PDA :I9100XXKF2 CSC:MULTIOXAKF2
do i need to change the csc if i install the UK version?
Thanks
forget about csc.
if you have i9100 you can flash any region ROM and use in any country.
if you want Gb than go for la2 italy rom , iv used that and last time i check that was the fastest stock rom for GB
you can also flash ICS rom like uk lp7 too, just stay away from lp9 roms at the moment.
ad dont forget to wipe using the dialpad code *2767*3855#. [will wipe all data stored]

I am using VK rom with LP9, working very smoother than the Omega which I tried few days back which was on LP8...

My friend dont go for LPJ that is unofficial beta release,
go for anything above LPQ on the sammobile firmware list ...
or pick anyone from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487.
Thank you Zac and Atif.
I have tried to do a factory rest from the phone's privacy menu but even after everything is done,istill see some files in the gallery.
i tried the code *2767*3855# everything goes fine but i see the message "cant access to system\csc\h3g\system\" and then the phone strats as normal.
can i flash it to the OS even if i am getting this message using odin or do i need to
do something before i flash?
factory reset will not delete your user stored data on the SD card...that can be manually deleted...if you want
you can flash the OS from ODIN
thanks for the responses.
I have upgraded to I9100XWLP7_I9100XEULP, and its working fine. the only problem seems to be its heating a bit where the camera is located . will read more topics and see why this is happening.
thank You.

You have to flash some other modem, I flashed my old GB modem and no heat issues.

Yes though the newer dxlp9 was much better, previous one had bunch of issues including sleep of death.
Also that ROM introduces the contact/dialer lag bug. Which some how got to Google account and now every time I sync contacts it get back.
I deleted all my contacts and synced again and it's all better, tried on dxlp9 and was working fine, than I switched to my regular cm9.

For a start, if you remember your last ROM that doesn't had heat issues, flash that modem. Doesn't matter if you use GB modem on ics.
I flashed the modem of my region xxki4 which is 2.3.5 jpkj2 and had no issues of heat in ics.
