I had the same problem, followed the guide in the thread mentioned above and used this ROM:
http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...m/6VDARTUR8S&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13152391993261
With this kernel: http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...m/EDZSOA710N&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13152392280722

t mobile uk , You say stock is stock which im not questioning however the boot animation on the phone is tmobile .... which is why i thought i need a specific rom / kernal to flash back to stock , not a generic one.
After reviewing your link i understand , appreciate help thank you as i dident find that link on search
Hello Peeps,
I have gone around in circles and lost myself
when I open the box for my new SG2, I wanted to root it
and I read all the forums about it
and my kernel was XXWKJ3
so I used that with Odin on the PDA
well it made my csc OXAKI3
well that is for Poland
and now that I wanted to get back to Factory Reset, I formatted the 16GB Internal Memory,
and used this
GT-I9100_XEN_I9100XWKJ3_I9100XENKJ1_I9100XXKI4.tar.md5
on PDA using Odin
well Now I think is in German , as it has 2 apps
DigiLezen & Samsung MMM
Version
PDA: I9100XWKJ3
PHONE: I9100XXKI4
CSC: I9100XENKJ1
MY SG2 IS UNBRANDED & UNLOCKED
I'M ON GIFFGAFF THAT RUNS ON O2 NETWORK, But for some reason I don't have in mobile networks option to select O2
can someone help choose the right PDA/PHONE/CSC
for this phone, the Stock Kernel & the Rooted Kernel
I been trying to work this out for 3 days now and still have not found a solution
Please help a Noob
thanks

Hopefully this helps.
You can get the stock firmware in this thread here.
For a beginner root kernal I would use the one available here.
Use odin to flash the kernal/firmware.
I been to both pages, and still can't figure out what is the right one, I read everything
can someone with giffgaff UK Please advice me off the right PDA/PHONE/CSC to put on my SG2, thanks
According to Intra's carrier branded firmware thread, latest firmware for O2/GiffGaff is KJ1.

see if that will work
if not will try the branded one

Stock O2 firmware from the provider roms thread will have the correct CSC for O2 .
Big question is why do you want to root ????

Hello,
I'm attempting to return my I9100 to stock so I can update via KIES as I wish to sell it, after rooting, flashing ICS, playing around for a month etc...
It was originally a T-mobile handset, I used checkfus to find the original stock ROM, and I've downloaded it, however, I cannot get hold of the stock kernel for love nor money! (I've googled it, found one apparent alternative source, but for some reason it wont boot using this and just keeps looping through the T-mobile branded load-up screen)
The kernel I'm after is the following:
UK
BOKE3:http://www.multiupload.com/GY05UJM6DQ
Firmware info: PDA:BOKE3|PHONE:BOKD1|CSC:TMUKE3

[ROMS]Official i9100 carrier branded firmware download for Odin Flash
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
I've read the thread and checked both Sammobile and Samsung-update and neither has the BOKE3 Kernel.
If anyone has this, please, please could you upload it so I can return my handset to stock, I would really appreciate it.
Also, if I'm doing anything obviously wrong, please point me in the right direction, I am a n00b at this. (I've successfully reset my counter using triangle away, and flashed the ROM from checkfus, but KIES still says NO!)
Many thanks!
Luke
ps. I realise now I should have backed up my stock kernel and ROM before tweaking, stupid stupid stupid...
I stopped reading somewhere when you say you downloaded using checkfuS and now after a stock kernel.........
Buddy ROM package like you get from checkfus is whole thing including kernel.
Just flash the ROM using Odin.
But be sure its for i9100 if you have that.

Why don't you just download and flash latest ICS ROM with UK support?
Do you really need the branded version?
Just have a look at Intratech's other thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
I recommend XWLPD, as this has best balance between performance and battery life on my phone.
If you want to go bak to GB, then flash XWLA4, which was best GB ROM IMO.
Thank you so much atifsh!
I did wonder whether the firmware download from CheckFus included the kernel, but couldn't figure it out (I'm stupid, I know! I'm new at this stuff...)
It's definitely the i9100 (checked under battery), it's definitely a T-mobile UK handset (bought it from a T-mobile customer who provided the contract paperwork).
Last night I tried flashing the latest T-mobile firmware, but KIES didn't like it, so tried flashing the BOKE3 firmware (oldest T-mobile branded firmware) and it didn't like that either.
Someone mentioned that when flashing you need to add the firmware file to the CSC section of odin to reset the CSC code, is this correct? I normally only include it in the PDA section.
This may be the problem I'm having as when I check my CSC using *#272*IMEI# it only lists CPW (carphone warehouse) and not TMU (T-mobile). Does this make sense as to why KIES wouldn't recognise the firmware?
I really appreciate your input and help here. Many thanks!
Luke
Hi It_ler,
Thanks for the advice, I was running the latest ICS firmware from the official thread, however I've decided to sell the device and would like to restore it to stock so that whomever I sell it to can update it through the official methods if they so wish.
Hope that makes sense!
Luke
Remove Sim, remove external sdcard.
Put the firmware.md5 in pda
Put your phone in download mode
after flash and boot dial *2767*3855#
It will wipe your phone and hopefully fix your csc.
Atifsh,
Thank you SO much! You saved my bacon. It worked when I did the *2767*3855# reset, this fixed the CSC and then the phone could update via KIES.
I really appreciate you help,
Many thanks,
Luke
Hi everyone, I got a international s3 or European I just know it's not from my carrier directly. My question is will I be getting software updates according to my carrier/country or will I be receiving the updates the time it comes out in Europe? I'm asking because I updated to 4.2.1 about 2 months earlier than my friend did and he bought it straight from Vodafone NZ
Official 4.2.1?
I think it depends on your Carrier
You will be getting updates when they come out in Europe. Updates are actually pushed through according to your phone CSC as you have an international unbranded phone unlike your friend's Vodafone branded unit.

I found heaps of guides but they only guide on how to go back stock from a custom rom. Im already on stock rom though and i want to revert back to international stock rom but NZ stock.
Soz im a noob, still new to this
it is no different
So which is true? Does software updates follow the carrier the phone is using (eg. Vodafone) or the region (eg UK/EU)??

Hey, I have been trying to return to stock, I've downloaded ODIN, but when came the time to pick a stock rom, I saw that there were quite a few stock roms for my phone (GT-19300 international) . I live in France, there are 4 operators: Orange (where I bought my phone and where I have my contract), Bouygues, SFR and NRJ, on Sammobile I saw there was a stock rom for NRJ, and I also found stock roms for the other operators (not on sammobile though, on tha site there was only the NRJ one), then came the question, do I need an orange stock rom, or the regular international one, does it matter? If it's any help, there isn't the orange logo on my phone, and I don't recall having orange apps on my phone when I bought it, but have a vague memory of me downloading a couple, although maybe anyone with a contract there can download them, I qish I could provide more information but nothing comes to mind :/ I'll try to answer all questions as best I can, thanks for answering quickly.
P.S. I'm using this guide to unroot, if you can think of a better one or if there's a problem with this one, I'd appreciate all suggestions, thanks! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27407556
AnyI9300 rom on any I9300 phone .
Stock is just Samsung firmware usually by country basis .
Vendor roms are usually branded and may have addons from the network . Vendor roms will have the correct modem and CSC .
