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 just bought the S2 White, and it's on 2.3.3.
I tried to update the software from phone, but it says, "No new updates".
I connected the phone to KIES (Windows 7 Home Premium x64),
& it says, "GT-I9100 does not support firmware upgrade."
PDA: KE7
PHONE: KE4
CSC: KD1(H3G)
Can someone help me please to update it ???
(I don't understand why KIES says that my phone does not support firmware upgrade :S)
Maybe it has been flashed an unsupported version firmware.
Anyway you can upgrade to any firmware you want throught odin.
Look in the forum for a guide how to flash with odin

It says it cannot be updated because your firmware is mixed for some reason, latest H3G is:-

I had a similar problem. Then updated Kies and it said that it's not possible to update my firmware!
I went to the thread with the stock firmwares. Chose the current UK 2.3.4 firmware and flashed via Odin. Totally painless and very straightforward. Then checked on my phone for software updates, non available and checked via Kies and says my firmware is up to date.
This seems to have corrected the problem.
People still use Kies?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Just looked through the guides for doing this and I can only seem to see stuff for Vodafone, 3, O2 etc. I've got an unlocked S2 that I think is running out of date software and thought I would try updating manually as Kies is telling me my phone does not support updates lol. Mine is running:
PDA: I9100XWKF3
PHONE: I9100XXKE7
CSC: I9100XEUKD1
So is my software out of date and if so how can I update it please?

OK so I have found the custom ROM for my S2 but what is the point of putting the same one back on there that is already running? The question I had was 'what is the latest version and how do I install that?'
The reason for all this by the way is that I am sick of the poor battery life of the phone and have been told that the latest version of the software improves it but unfortunately Kies seems to think that my phone is not able to be upgraded!
Are you on OS X by any chance?

Your versions are valid XWKF3 XEU, and it should update to:-
PDA: I9100XWKI4
PHONE: I9100XXKI1
CSC: I9100XEUKH2
If Kies says it cannot be updated your product code is probably wrong.
Hello,
Kies give me the same message "GT-I9100 does not support firmware upgrade."
and shows these versions on my S2,
PDA: KF3
PHONE: KE4
CSC: KF3(INU)
It shows the same as the latest firmware versions just below.
Does anyone know when these above versions were released ?
lol I know its possible to update, but whats wrong with kies

Hi
I've got a Galaxy s2 (good thing really being in this forum)
It's currently running 2.3.4 on XWK14 (official) flashed from the official roms thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 (not the frankenstein part) with the XEU CSC (UK)
There are so many threads with this rom that rom at the moment I'm finding it hard to keep track of which ones are official and which aren't.
Kies says no update available, sammobile says there is I think.......
What I want to know is what is the current up to date ROM for the Galaxy S2 in the UK (unbranded) XEU CSC seems to be thr right one.although again I see things like XEUKD1 etc being posted - all a bit confusing!
From the official roms thread the one I have would appear to be the most up to date verion but please correct me if wrong
Fact the forum does state offical Rom clearly and if you look you'll see 2.3.6 to date. Fact that you may not be getting any update via kies may be your running a older version of kies go to samsung homepage and manual install the current version from the once install connect fone and take it from there.. And you should at least get 2.3.5 but hey just flash a firmware using odin and your done easy..
I know your after a UK based firmware.
thanks
I've had a look through yes I can find 2.3.6 but not for uk, I must be blind!
I will try the kies route - I like to stay as close to official as I can, If I can't get kies to provide 2.3.5 do you have a link to an official 2.3.5 xeu rom?
U have KK5 for uk.....am using that one...its 2.3.6

Hello fellow XDA-members,
I currently have an S2 with the following system information:
Android: 2.3.3
Baseband: I9100XXKE4
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE7-CL215725
GINGERBREAD.XWKE7
Updating through Kies won't work, as it said it did not recognise blabla (possibly due root and changed kernel).
I would like to update to the next official rom, with 2.3.5 (or 6, I'm not sure what the latest version was). I'm kind a lost in the maze of all the ROMS and stuff, so could anyone point me to the right next official ROM that I could flash & be up to date to the latest stable android?
Regards,
Paul

Choose the one you want for your country /location 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 .

So for example, I could take the following one, then pick the XEN (Ntherlands) download (I live in Holland, T-Mobile). Do you also need to pick the kernel, or only flash this XEN one?

Stock rom do not need another kernel .
XEN for your location .

I meant, I currently have the "Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE7-CL215725", some time ago I flashed it to that kernel and applied root. I just only need to download the XEN version ROM, and just flash it, I do not need to download that specific kernel too and flash that before. (So in summary, just flash the rom, not needed to change the kernel I already had).
Thanks
Kernel is part of the firmware package not a separate item .
Kernels posted are not part of the update you flash firmware xxx and you have CSC OS APPS MODEM and KERNEL updated .
You will need to reroot use same kernel number as the one you flash .

Hey guys,
I am stupid. I bought my international version i9100 on ebay. I dont know what it is from. After I root it, I lost the kernel. Now, I want to restore everything including the rom, the kernel to factory. What should I do?
Flash a Stock ROM via Odin to reset the phone.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it matters where the phone is from as long as you use Odin. If it for any reason wouldn't work you could always reflash it.

As stated above, it shouldn't really matter. On the other hand, if you really want the one for your country you could go to settings -> About phone -> scroll to the bottom...
write model number , android version, baseband version, kernel version and build number here to the forum, and I'll try my best to tell you which one you need

gr4ndm4st3r_bl4ck, I am a little confused. My phone is on android 2.3.4 now and I am looking to update it to 2.3.6, but kies keeps telling me there is no update for my phone. If I can flash a rom from any country, can I just grab a 2.3.6 rom for a country, say Brazil, and flash that rom?
In case you need it, these are the information I can get.

Yes if it does not work flash another one .
CSC and or MODEM can be changed as a separate item .
You flash the country you are in no point flashing China firmware if you are in Spain .

That's the latest UH firmware in Intratech's thread ( 2.3.4 only ), if you want the entire ROM use one of the first 3 links, or if you want only the stock kernel then use the last link there.
Also, you could just ignore that UH ROM and flash the latest XW one ( Europe Standard ) from here :

After flashing it just set the language to your liking and you'll never notice any difference.
For instance, my S2 came with 2.3.4 Serbia CSC ROM and I flashed the XWKK5 one from above and it works perfect , no need to worry
Edit : PS, Kies will never tell you that a new update is ready , because Samsung didn't make it available on Kies yet, that's why we use Odin instead

Glad you got what you wanted
Keep an eye on intratechs thread. The one you were linked to. He posts all the latest stock original carrier firmware so you won't have to wait a month next time.
If you have the I9100 international version you can use nearly any of the latest firmware even if your carrier hasn't released it yet.

I have an unbranded and unlocked S3. My original ROM Firmware was
PDA:LE8 PHONE:LE8 CSC:LE4
My baseband isI9300XXLF2 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
I loaded a new ROM
I9300XXALF2

Region Europe
Country: United Kingdom
Carrier: Unbranded
Build Date: 5 June 2012
Modem: XXLF2
CSC: OXALF2
Change List: 671647
My firmware has changed but shouldn't the Baseband change as well? I also was surprised that all of my apps and everything were still there. I thought this would be wiped out on a new ROM. Do I need to worry about the Baseband and what is it? I am also curious because I did all this to get the latest OTA. I still am unable to get it. When I sign up for the software updates should I say UK as my country even tho I am in the USA. Will it matter?
LF2 IS the latest OTA.
can you post a link with your stock rom?
Baseband is Modem and like the CSC it is not always upgraded with each firmware revision .
It is also flash able on its own from the stock roms thread as per instructions .
Likewise CSC and also likewise Kernels .
