Hi all i have returned to the android scene from IOS trying to work out a means of downloadong the factory/carrier Firmwares i remember from when i had a i9000
It was possible to force kies to download the releasle from Samsung with the spoofer tool despite googling for two days straight and trwaling thru the forums i have not been.able to find a means or even of a download of the. firmware im wondering about
Galaxy S 2 running 2.3.3 gingerbread
PDA: I9100TDOKH1
PHONE: I9100TDOKG2
CSC: I9100TTNZKH1
Im presently dubious about attempting to attain root on this device if i cannot get kies to flash it back to stock rom or even.maintain a copy of this rom
any heads up or advice where to move forwards.
Im hoping the carrier soon releases the 2.3.4 update shortly... failing that i will just debrand with another 9100T rom
cheers any advice for the next move would be great!
I would suggest asking Intratech for it in his carrier-branded firmware thread in the development section. The Voda firmware is listed, so TCNZ's shouldn't be too hard for the man to track down.

Keep trying on fus.nanzen.se. Finally it will hopefully give a response. I have added it to the preset list even though it's not giving a response atm.
I'd be quite interested in a dump of your stock Telecom /system/csc/ folder if that'd be possible?

Is it not possible to spoof Kies for the i9100 to force a Update/Save a Rom
i know it was possible when I had a i9000 i used the spoofer and saved the Factory Firmware down at the time

Wow on further inspection... thats what i call a Awesome/Innovative Tool!
Nice work man!
I think it may come available soon
I think Telecom only released their branded handsets in the last 6 days.. so perhaps the Firmware will come available soon..
Failing that maybe the 2.3.4 update will be what comes available (if ever)
Perhaps a debrand is inorder...
It sounds like Telecom have fairly heavily modified the firmware which is going to make future updates very slow. By comparison Vodafone left it almost completely stock-standard.

Yes you should flash a stock ROM or AOSP ROM. Flashing doesn't void warranties these days. You can reset your download count using what's called a USB jig aka resistor, So when you break it you can just reflash a stock rom reset the download count an Samsung will never know any better.

Any 2.3.4 Stock/AOSP Roms you reccomend for the I9100T
I was going to root first so I could suck all the CSC , efs etc etc out of the phone
and then go for DarkyRom2 but not sure
With regards to wiping the counter i thought there was a second counter that cant be wiped yet!

Yup, thanks very much. I'll trawl through that and see if anything is worth shoe-horning into my Vodafone-derived SGS2.
Was there a TNZ sub-folder inside the CSC folder?
Edit: This section suggests fairly conclusively that XT does NOT support Fast Dormancy (figured as much so no surprise).

If you do flash a firmware and you want a JIG to reset it then I've got one you can borrow if you're around Wellington. Otherwise I think mine was about $12 including postage off eBay.

Here's an email I received after asking Telecom if they supported it in July (originally posted on Geekzone):
Thank you for your email query and we apologise for the late response, as this needed to come from our network team. Please find their response below:
"No we currently do not have NCFD feature enabled. Because only the handset benefits from Fast Dormancy for battery life purposes. In fast dormancy the handset notifies the network to release the air interface so it’s put into IDLE state much quicker than going through to Cell-FACH and finally to Idle. This can cause much more signaling on the network between the RNC, NodeB and mobile device which (increase in signaling load) can lead to congestion.
We have a number of features on the network that can work with Fast Dormancy and not cause a large increase in signaling load, however there is no current ETA for deployment."
Should you require any further assistance please email or call 0800550120 or *120, we would be happy to assist.

I've used many different modems (probably all of them to be honest), but am quite happy with the KI3 one at the moment. It's giving me no issues as far as XT's network goes, but I don't travel a lot so am not really a good judge. It does give me more range with Wifi though, something I have had issues with on other modems.
No idea on stock firmware. Has Intratech posted a link? He finds most of them.

I have a Galaxy s2 with BELL that's rooted, custom kernel and custom ROM and im wondering how I can put my phone EXACTLY how it was before I rooted and put my custom rom on it.
I want it exactly how it came when I got it from BELL.
If anyone can help that'd be appreciated.
Thanks,
Well you can get it back to stock, but not "bell stock." The reason being that there is no bell firmware anywhere on the internet yet, you can flash one of the generic european rom from samsung but unfortunately you cannot revert to the bell KG2 that came with the phone...
Awh man..
Whyy hasnt anyone ripped their own stock rom yet
Basically... when its available..IF its available. Would I be able to throw it on and get OTA upgrades again? I really dont see a difference between stock and rooted.. I mean I DO understand what It gives you.. but honestly the phone is already powerful enough that I really dont need to tweak it.

I read somewhere that bell has to actually release a FW update before we have something to go back to, i don't think anyone ripping their rom would work for us. Then again I'm not sure, but as it stands theres literally nothing on the net with bell on it for the GS2 so you are pretty much stuck with the generic european stuff.
To be honest, i think if you want oTA updates you'd be much better off going with a generic european Fw, bell always always takes forever to deliver updates because it has to go through them, i remember it took a while for bell to get froyo on the GS1 when it had been out forever for the european gs1's and it worked fine.

Ah i see.. WELL THEN.
What Kernel and ROM are YOU using?
I bought a protection plan at bestbuy so hopefully i can bring it back and they'll give me a new one.. I liked the look and stability of my bell rom kernal etc right now i got villainrom running and it keeps going from hspa+ to 3g etc and its annoying...
Edit: seems to only happen when data is not being used. Makes sense. Battery saving feature maybe? When bell comes out with an update If they ever do, will it also include a kernel update? Making my phone completely bell again. I would like to have my bell account app back lol.

Im just using a rooted kernel off CFROOT, with stock bell KG2 Firmware. Haven't seen a reason to put any modded rom yet, the stock rom actually is perfect, good battery life too. Tempted by CM7 though, I'm constantly tempted to try it.
Hmm yeah when they release a rom you can flash using odin, it will write the kernel, modem etc and your phone will be totally "bell" again. I'm pretty sure you can download the bell account app from market?
Lol I was smart and used cwm to back up my bell rom, thanj god custom works perfectly well

So from your backed up bell rom, can you get the 3 files for Odin out of it? Or i guess its not that simple?
Surely if you root, you flash a non-stock kernel? So even a nandroid/CWM backup will not be COMPLETELY stock?
Why is everyone so worried about going back to stock? Just wondering, because the european versions work just as good as the stock one, if not better, because of root.
The real question we should be asking is will Bell or Samsung release the stock files? Im sure they will, and if they don't someone will find a way to extract the stock files.

[Q] Galaxy SII with UGKG2 baseband - going "back" to a different stock firmware
Hi guys,
Now I've just got a Galaxy SII from Bell (and unlocked it), and the baseband is UGKG2. I've seen the discussion and well understand there is no stock firmware available at the time, so if I flash it, there's no way back for the original one (until posted by Samsung).
Here's my question - can I securely flash a different, but STOCK firmware to this model? What I actually need is to install a stock Russian firmware, so that Russian is available as the interface language. If so, which flavour should I use? There is a bunch of official Russian firmwares (e.g. I9100XEKE1, I9100XWKE2, I9100XWKF1, I9100XXKG1, I9100XWKF3), but which of these should I reasonably expect to be compatible with UGKG2?
Thanks a lot for help.
They should all be compatible, as far as i know the bell gs2 is identical to the ones sold in europe. The radio is even the same, since the ones sold in europe also work with 3g in north america, so you should be good to go. Id just figure out whatever is the newest russian firmware and flash it, also check if its carrier or not, since I'm sure you wouldn't want some russian carrier bloat on it or something.
If you want the newest rom possible, id recommend the XXKG3, its not russian, but its the 2.3.4. Im running it on my bell sgs2, works great. and its generic.
Also I'm pretty sure the generic european firmwares all feature russian as a language, so you wouldn't specifically need to flash a russian rom id think.
good luck.
Edit* just checked my XXKG3, and it has russian listed as a language.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182434 theres the link to the XXKG3 fw... Well its up to you what you want to flash they will all work, but the XXKG3 is the newest one there is (2.3.4), and its also the one I'm running, so i know it works great for me, can't really say what version/ how old the russian ones would be.

I just had a look through that thread, lots of guys have problems with flash in browsing, but it's not apparent what their original firmware was... Did you too have UGKG2 before you flashed XXKG3? They also say something about "Frankenstein", is that the one I get via the link you gave earlier? Yeah, and they mention repartition - did you do that too?
Yeah, i have it flashed and i went from the bell rom to it, i did check repartition since it ensures that you will not have any problems as its a complete clean flash. And yes I'm aware of the flash issue, i hate flash for personal reasons ( on a mobile device, as it leads to general lagyness and drains battery) and i always turn it off on any android phone I've used, so i could care less about the flash bug but it might be a deal breaker for some i understand.
as far as the link, the first link given in the main post, thats the actual rom, the stock rom no frankenstien or anything. I didn't flash frankenstien just the original rom.

Uhm, the issue is only present in the browser to my knowledge it occurs when you press on some flash banner or something, the flash still works in the youtube app.
Mine was the bell phone, i9100m, the i9100 and i9100m are identical, i suppose bell just added an m to their variant to feel special or something. Makes no diff.

Yeah, good luck. Be comfortable with odin before you attempt it though, watch some youtube videos and such as odin can be dangerous if not used correctly. But its simple, the rom comes with 4 files or so and u gotta load them in the correct boxes, pit , phone,csc and pda .

Thanks to 'cascader' I have used a program to extract the Stock ROM for our Three UK Galaxy Aces. Thanks again 'cascader'!
The zip file contains:
Cooper_v1.0.ops - Partition table etc. for the Ace ONLY
SS5570_Odin_Multi_Downloader_v4.38.exe - Odin 4.38 - To flash the firmware
S5830XWKT5_S5830H3GKT3_S5830NEKT2_HOME.tar.md5 - The firmware
SS_DL.dll - This file is used ONLY by Kies so is un-needed
This is a ONEPACKAGE file meaning you only need the cooper.ops file and the firmware to flash. If you do not know what you are doing - http://lmgtfy.com/?q=galaxy+ace+odin+onepackage+flash or http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-flash-official-stock-firmwares.html

will i need to convert filesystem back from ext 4 or will flashing do this?
my phone was on O2 but after failed attempts at finding the firmware for it, i just stuck an unbranded stock from asia on there...works wonders
It has to be flashed by ODIN @PJ147 Use the included files for ODIN and the instructions from either link
@King Kaze - I was using UK XEU but it was only 2.3.3, This is 2.3.6 and includes Three's network tweaks which makes my 2G roaming a bit better, but completely useless still. I have to wait 2 minutes for 0.facebook.com to load on Opera! If I use Opera on any other phone on 2G m.facebook.com loads quickly. I'm thinking it's Three restricting how fast things can download/tx-rx on 2G, Their websites load alright in seconds... I asked them about this and they denied that they restrict speeds on 2G which makes me laugh.
0.facebook should load faster than all the other facebook sites because it barely has anything
Yeah, It should but Three restrict my 2G speed so it loads really slowly :L

I know this thread is a little dusty, but the contents still apply . When I go to start the flashing in odin, it comes up saying "Please connect phones!!".
I have the latest Sammy USB drivers at hand and I'll try it again once installed, but in the mean time, have anybody else faced a similar issue?
I'm coming from this ROM
Thanks in advance

bump!
I've had no luck with wifi ever since I started trying out ICS builds.
So far I've restricted myself to leaked official builds. The phone just can't hold onto a damn wifi signal even when kept right next to the bloody access point.
Every few minutes it disconnects. Sucks when you're trying to download a huge update for a game.
I don't know if there's an official build out for India, I'm using DDLP8 which was marked as for Nepal. It's definitely stable, but wifi connectivity is totally useless .
I use Wifi Analyzer, and it shows up signal strength as pretty good, using automatic channels, and usually it latches onto channel 11 or 13. My other devices at home have never faced any such problem so it's definitely not a router problem.
Is there anything else to check for?
Edit: I'm using XXLPQ, not DDLP8 (which is the baseband version). My bad.
not familiar of ddlp8 as cant find it as sammobile / intratech
why dont you skip the leaked firmwares and just use the official ones.
also complete wipe your phone flash a GB stock and dont do anything else ...., no root no restores and see if it hold wifi.

It appears DDLP8 is a modem/baseband version. Not the build version. That's why you couldn't find it. But I'm just guessing. OP will have to confirm or deny that.

Yes, you're right. I am using XXLPQ for Nepal, after reading that the official Nepal build works fine on the Indian version of the S2. Sammobile still does not show any official build for India. Does this make a difference?
I saw the problem moments after I had flashed the ROM and rebooted, i.e. with a clean phone set to factory defaults (and rooted) - so I doubt it's due to any other program interfering.

Only for getting "official" updates through Kies. If you don't care about getting updates through Kies, then no, it won't matter.

Wifi drivers are in the kernel, I believe. What method did you use to root? Did you flash a kernel to achieve root? Try flashing a new kernel, or flashing a stock ICS kernel and see if your Wifi still drops after that.
Well, you can also give a try by flashing your baseband/modem itself and see it will be any better. You have few ones in this topic, all flashable via CMW :

Indeed, but it worth to be tried imo. Not sure it would be related but it only take few minutes and can at least fix the problem, he has nothing to loose by trying it imo.

I'm fairly certain modem/baseband has NOTHING to do with wifi, so I'll have to disagree with you on the possibility of it fixing his problem.
Well, i m getting uncertain now, was pretty sure about . Sorry for the mistake then.

I could be mistaken (I will admit that), but I have changed modem/baseband and seen no effect on wifi. I have changed kernels, and seen HUGE effect on wifi. So that's just my experience.
Booth my kids had the same problem! Solved by disabling WI-FI Direct, working fine since

Ok, thanks for your links mate, at least i ve learned something. So, he can also give a try by testing different kernels then.
still having issues, you have to do some work..... flashing kernels is not the solution! it should work as is!
1: using cwm format system, cache, data, dalvik
2: flash one of the newer GB Stock Roms get one from intratech, using odin.
3: dont root just see if it works without doing anything, keep it stock. no restores nothing
if it works, it will work on ICS too now.

Well, if you re-read some of the posts above, he said he rooted, but didn't say HOW he rooted. If he rooted by flashing a kernel, then that could be what is screwing with his wifi, depending on WHICH kernel he used. So flashing a different kernel MAY actually solve his problem.
To my experience this problem is most likely related to the kernel you are using. The latest siyah kernel supposingly rectifies this issue. Why dont you give it a try?
I did and saw a big difference...

Sorry for the late reply - this time I replaced the stock ROM with DragonROM and Siyah 3.1 Rc1, and now the problem is..less frequent.
Hi, I have the same problem. My wifi keeps connecting and disconnecting multiple times even in a minute. I am on stock India ICS4.0.3. ddlp4.
With the update to 4.1.2, it seems that the Australian version has the bottom icons locked. You can't change them. I've researched this and its only in Australia.... I was pretty pissed off with this, but I thought I could get used to it. Well, I can't.
So being the noob that I am, I thought simply rooting the device would allow me to solve this issue, but it doesn't seem to be that simple.
What I want to do with this phone is to unlock the bottom icons, and get rid of all carrier related stuff (boot animations, apps, etc.). Ideally I want to run pure android 4.1.2, as I'm not a fan of touchwiz, but I tried looking and I couldn't find anything, which is probably down to me being a noob. I wouldn't have a clue how to install it properly either.
So it's a Galaxy S2 I900T
The phone is on Telstra
It has been rooted
It's running stock 4.1.2
If there is anymore info you need to know in order to help me, just let me know and I'll add it.
Thanks in advance!
Well...... You could just run a custom launcher. Search for Nova launcher on the play store. It's the one I use, it's customisable to just about whatever you want.
If you're rooted and do actually want to run stock android instead of just changing the launcher, then look for the index of ROMs in the s2 section. I think GaboWinter is the OP. Look under the AOSP section in there for the stock android ones.
Quick tip, if you do flash a rom you'll have to flash an i9100"t" specific modem or your coverage will be dismal.
Ps. Is it really just the Australian version that can't change the dock icons. How rubbish.

if you want pure android, you'll probably be unable to find 4.1 since it's obsolete in aosp and I'd advise you to go with either 4.2 or even 4.3, as 4.2 especially is highly stable.
also, the guy above me is mistaken about modems, the stock i9100 modems work fine on the t variant, just depends on your carrier which ones you want to use.
to install a rom just flash a recovery image from odin (e.g. Dorimanx or PhilZ) and then copy the necessary zips to your sd, boot to recovery, and flash them
remember to back up your data first though

Just to clarify.... "the guy above you" owns an i9100 and maintains a friend's i9100T. If you mean the international i9100 modem is able to be flashed on an i9100T, I agree. I've done it. I know you also own "T" variant.
What happens in my case is that the data speeds are so dismal you'd be better off using an encyclopaedia than googling something (literally 2Kb/s in some areas. Flashing a "T" specific modem sees the speed jump to 250-300Kb/s or so in the same spot). I'm guessing by your post you have better success than that with i9100 modems on a "t" variant.

No probs mate Odd that you say that, I use XXMS2 /MS3 myself, so naturally tried them on my friend's T variant immediately after rooting. Both modems were dismal and got the 2Kb/s (sometimes hitting 20ishKb/s :0) I mentioned. Now I've got them on DULP4 & no issues at all

Yeah I've flashed dvls3 for them, it wasn't that good. Which is even weirder as they're on vodafone. Eh oh well, not my phone so I can't be constantly testing.
