Hi XDA
I need the original danish/nordic firmware version for my SGS II
I just called Samsung support in Denmark and got the information.
Danish firmware from samsung support.
Android 2.3.3
Build: gingerbread xwkdg
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-i9100xwkdg-cl174368 [email protected] #2
This is the one im looking for, or something similiar.
Short story about the device: I bought the SGS II from a guy who bought from 3 carrier in Denmark. After i bought it, i realized that the phone was 3 carrier locked and the 3 app, planet 3 app was on the phone. I wanted to debrand.
I did debrand with Odin 1.85 and used the sgs II firmware stock version I9100XWKDD_I9100XXKDH_I9100XEUKD1, which i downloaded from this thread.

Thanks for reply.
the 3G Carrier stock firmware XWKE1 Danish was the one, that my phone came with.
and the XWKF4 from 3 is the latest that i did upgrade to when i used Kies in the first moment that i got the phone home.
After that i debranded with another firmware, the one i have mentioned in the first post.
maybe i should just use the one I9100XWKDD_I9100XXKDH_I9100XEUKD1 i have now on the phone this is the first firmware in the thread and is also a uk firmware, but this one have danish language in it and is not a 3 carrier locked firmware. :-D
Which firmware build version do you use?
Me its cooked KH3 based on Cognition 1.51 rom and adapted further .
jje
okay cool. Well i just have to search for another danish firmware other than 3 carrier firmware.
Do you know which android 2.3.4 firmware is the newest one? ;-)
three posts that may help.

I have found the stock firmware XWKE2 which is the standard samsung firmware for sgs II. This one can be used for Danish and other eu countries.
Im using this instead and then i can upgrade via KIES. :-D
End of thread
Hi guys.
have you experienced problems with "missing calls badge" on telephone icon ?? You know when recieving missed calls you should normally have a small counter i corner of app...
Mine is completely gone after i changed ROM a few times..
I have tried to reset everything and re-install original firmware and even do normal upgrade via Kies..
any solutions?

I got my SGS II from India itself and still running 2.3.3 because the 2.3.4 is not available for download. I am using android from quiet a bit of time but its being a long time I am friendly with flashing with odin (since my spica). My question to friends here is I am planning to the Europe latest 2.3.4 instead of going for 2.3.4 that is released in china, after downloading the European F/W I just got one file .tar (there should have have been two more CSC, Phone/PDA). Now with Indian CSC will I be able to flash my phone via odin to the same F/W. Plz guide me completely.
Please reply folks eager to get the update also let me know if the market place will meaning I will get the cost of the apps in Euros
Downloading what file from where ???
Did you actually read the instructions for this file you downloaded .
That would be a good start .

I only flashed the TAR file by selecting it in the PDA. Rest of the files i omitted. I was in Stock KF2 and then moved to KG5
Also if i understand correctly the CSC is more for languages specific. I believe you will anyway be using English US / UK. This firmware has it
What abt market place
Will it show the apps in Indian currency or in European currency.

My s2 came from Samsung service with this firmware:
I9100XWKI4/I9100OXXKI2/I9100XXKI1/I9100XWKI4(ODK)
and the message is Kies can't update it .
1.With my old Galaxy S I have only 3 references (pda/modem and CSC).With S2 I see 4 ref?
2.Why this kies message?
3.I have Vodafone Portugal. This is the last firmware(branded or not)?
Thanks for the help.
Look into www.sammobile.com to see if you're provider has a newer firmware posted or not, to begin with. If there is one, and kies is still screwing around, consider flashing with ODIN. The guides are all there, on the same website. You would not lose warranty if you've updated to your provider's own ROM (even the newer ones).

I seems to be some discrepancy here
Ideally Your Phone should have been Boxed with a branded firmware if you think it is not an international version. As far as Intratech's thread is concerned there is no Branded firmware for Portugal Vodafone. But in FUS Web version there is (Check attached Pic) ..... say if your phone is branded you need to flash a branded firmware but the firmware you have mentioned is on your phone is a generic one which pertains to entire Europe (the XW in front of the PDA version KI4). What i think is that you have an unlocked international phone. I think before flashing anything you need to verify what kind of phone you have better go to service center or get in touch with one of the devs post in Intratech's thread for branded firmware and he'll be able to get you to identify the type of phone you have.

Hello all,
I purchased Galaxy S2 last year in June in United Arab Emirates and have had following firmware:
PDA:KE2
PHONE: KE1
CSC: KE1 (ARB)
Kies still shows no updates for my device.
It is Gingerbread 2.3.3. It does not support Arabic (all Arabic text appears as blocks) even though it should.
It is not a carrier branded version. It is available in the country through only 1 official Samsung distrubutor. My friends who purchased the phone much later have different firmwares on their devices and have proper Arabic support and have had their phones updated through Kies few times.
What I feel is that there are different series of Galaxy S2 devices released in the country havind different firmware series. I purchased my device the very first day it was released here (pre-ordered).
I think that there are newer firmware updates for my device though I can not understand exactly which ones will work with my device. I am wondering why no updates have been made available on Kies.
Can anyone guide me to the exact firmware updates for my device (all 3 part; PDA, PHONE and CSC). Gingerbread 2.3.5 would be preferred. Or should I wait for Android ICS 4?
Thanks very much!
Just root your phone.

Forget kies it's terrible software.
Make sure you have a I9100 version of the phone the Read this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Learn how easy it is flashing firmware with Odin and find a good late version firmware to your liking. Then flash it.
You can flash your csc also to keep that if you need it. Carrier specific Stuff.
Also you can flash modems to see what gives you the best reception etc.
After you have done this kies will probably not work for updates anymore but you can download an app called checkfus from the market to check your carrier/region updates.
Hope this helps.

Did you purchase from UAE then I suggest you just take the phone to the service center they will upgrade to latest firmware for free. Else go to Intratech's thread and get the jpkj2 firmware. With XSG csc this one is for uae. The link is in my signature official firmware.

Forget the damn kies....use Odin and get the latest firmware for the arab wich is jpkj2......

Hi,
I'm desperately looking for the stock firmware that came with my phone that I got from Virgin UK back in Novemeber 2011 as I foolishly flashed the Non-UK ICS the other day without making a note of the revision I already had.Kies then didn't recognise my phone. I've installed a CPW (Carphone Warehouse) ROM for now as I know it supports the Virgin network but I know for a fact that wasn't the same one that was originally on the phone. As when it was connected to Kies, I specifically remember there was a lot of X's in the string displayed as well as an XEU at the end (I think). The CPW ROM string doesn't have either. Basically I believe I had some sort of unbranded UK firmware that was also supported by Kies for future downloads but when looking on FUS I can't find anything from the UK except branded fimware and the CPW one.
I've learnt my lesson but would really like my phone back to it's original state before the official UK ICS update becomes available on Monday. So if anybody currently has a unmodified Virgin Mobile from around that time could they please point me in the right direction in terms of the Gingerbread version revision number they currently have?
Thanks in advance guys. I'm new so please have a little patience.
You can use the PC version of Checkfus (search for it on here/Google) to determine what firmware came with your phone, then search for same on Samfirmware.com.
Thanks. But as I said, I've already tried searching on FUS. And can't seem to find any of the ones I'm looking for. Also all the Intratech links on the sister thread don't seem to be working anymore. Almost as if the site Multiupload.com has been shut down?
I'm ideally looking for firmwares such as these:
PDA: I9100XWKF3,
PHONE: I9100XXKE7,
CSC: I9100XEUKD1
PDA: I9100XWKI4
PHONE: I9100XXKI1
CSC: I9100XEUKH2
Why these? Because I now know these are what come with Virgin UK contracted phones from around the same time. I finally only found this out a few minutes ago via a Virgin Media forum and seeing what people where posting. And if I'm 100% honest, it's the bottom one that's looking the more "familiar" to me before I started messing with my phone.
Again, thatnks for any help offered. Much appreciated.
Re-read the last 7 words of my post Actually, read the whole thing again. Particular emphasis on the last 7 words.
A simple method would be to wait for Virgin to update the firmware and download via Checkfus .
I doubt if the ICS upgrade on Monday will be any roms bar stock .
In which case even with original firmware Kies has no update for you .

This is original virgin mobile information which i saved before messing around with ics roms. My galaxy S2 is only 3 months old from virgin here in he uk!
Hope It Helps!

Thanks MistahBungle. I have and niether of those packages are listed on the site. JJ yeah I've got the same feeling to be honest. It seems to be the generic European firmware that I had the same as Ezy's. I actuallyy think I've installed this a couple of times via FUS and Odin but always seem to get the "your device cannot update from Kies" message though. Strange as I never had it when it was originally installed. Just "this is the latest firmware". Chaotic! lol
Update: It's worked! I installed Ezy's XEU one last time. I forgot to do a cache wipe before and aftewards on previous tries. It's back to it's original state and no upgrade error message in Kies. Thanks again for helping me out guys.
So JJ, come Monday when UK ICS gets released you recommend not downloading it from anywhere and waiting about 6 months for Virgin to get there act together?

Personally i would not bother as long as i had a copy of old Virgin firmware in case of warranty . I would just install a stock UK firmware with CPW CSC if possible once UK ICS is released if i was of a mind to go down the ICS route .

Ok thanks. I'll bare that in mind as I don't intend to go through all of this ever again. :-\

So glad i found this post as I lost my original backup. Downloaded the stock firmware just in case its needed. So thanks.
Sorry if this question was asked b4 but I think my situation is a little different but if it is not I beg your pardon and patience :angel:
I am based in Australia and I am with Telstra -- I bought a Galaxy S2 almost 10 months ago from a company based in Singapore on Ebay.
The handset's motherboard fried after one month -- in Australia they could not repair it as it was bought overseas. I returned the handset to Singapore and after 8 months they returned it back to me. It's working now. I won't go in any further details about the ebay transaction which was a nightmare.
Long story short I now have a S2
PDA: I9100XWKI4
PHONE I9100XXKI1
CSC I9100OJCKI1
Android version 2.3.4
Baseband version I9100XXKI1
Kernell version 2.6.35-7-I9100XWKI4-CL575468 [email protected]#2
I have hooked up on Kies which said no update was available. . . perhaps because the CSC is South African I am in Australia?
Given that I am in Australia what's the best way to upgrade to a stock version of ICS?
Thanks in advance :angel:
Flash any ICS you like from intratech thread. Your pohone has no exception i can see

You could try Samfirmware.com and get a recent Aussie rom and flash that.
You need to register to download.

Thx mate -- I was able to find the Telstra ICS and unzipped the file I9100TDVLP4_I9100TTELLP2_I9100TDVLP3_HOME.tar.md5. From the Odin instruction I should have different files up upload. Also Odin 1.85 does not have an OPS window for the One package update. Any help would be appreciated

Flash the tar.md5 in the PDA section of Odin. You don't need the .dll (if there is one). I flashed a Voda stock rom from Checkfus successfully last weekend.
Edit - It takes a while to flash because of the size of the package/telco bloat, so be patient & make sure you let it complete/reboot.

All done -- thx mate -- the Telstra ROM was crap, it has so much stuff I don't need so I went for the unbranded ROM and it's pretty good and stable.
