Hey guys,
I am very new to android and this forum as well
I bought my sgs2 outright from Optus Telechoice, and recently i upgraded its firmware via Kies.
This is the firmware information shown in Kies whenever the phone is connected with usb:
PDA:KG1 / PHONE:KF3 / CSC:KG1 (OPS)
it says this is my current and the latest firmware.
*NEVER rooted my phone before, phone was shipped with KE7 if not mistaken.
Ok my question starts here, i've been reading forums for quite a while, and i notice that very few user have the same firmware as mine. i wonder why?
First of all, I heard that the official 2.3.4 firmware has been released via KIES, i really like to get the update but KIES said my current firmware is the latest.
I read this sentence from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
saying that:
These packages below are not official firmware packages, they are Frankenstein package created due to demand for Firmware with different CSC and modems. KIES will not recognise the firmware so you won't be able to update to new firmware using KIES unless you flash back to a firmware meant for your device first. Otherwise there will always be Odin to use for updates
and i found the exact same firmware version as shown in my KIES:
Optus OPSKG1 CSC: http://www.multiupload.com/EPWZTIMS1F
which proves that my current version is a kind of so called
+++++++[Frankenstein Firmwares]+++++++, which may restrict me from receiving the latest firmware.
As mentioned from the above, 'KIES will not recognise the firmware so you won't be able to update to new firmware using KIES unless you flash back to a firmware meant for your device first.'
In this case, which firmware is meant for my device?!
* I really wanted to get rid of the Optus bloatware by flashing the stock firmware PLUS get the latest official update 2.3.4 rolled out by KIES.
Can anyone please teach me how and what to do? appreciate that and thanks in advance to any who reply me.
*i am an adroid newbie pls bear with me!

CORRECT
First of all, I heard that the official 2.3.4 firmware has been released via KIES, i
NO
i notice that very few user have the same firmware as mine. i wonder why?
Because they have flashed a later version via ODIN of stock Samsung firmware that may be a leaked version .
which proves that my current version is a kind of so called
+++++++[Frankenstein Firmwares]+++++++,
No not if you updated via Kies you are not understanding the post .
In this case, which firmware is meant for my device?!
The one you have on it is the latest for your device as installed by Kies .
I really wanted to get rid of the Optus bloatware by flashing the stock firmware PLUS get the latest official update 2.3.4 rolled out by KIES.
One Samsung path and wait for 2.3.4 to be rolled out by your network via Kies .
Or two unofficial method of updating firmware using stock Samsung firmware flashed via Odin.

Hi,
First of all thank you for the replies.
are you sure the official 2.3.4 hasn't come out via KIES?
I read some posts regarding the official release though.
Once again from my understanding, my kind of firmware (PDA:KG1 / PHONE:KF3 / CSC:KG1 (OPS)) is actually released by Optus via KIES, it is actually more like the OPTUS (and australian phone carrier) version of this firmware, thats why there are few users compared to the majority.
So what u mean is even though others (non-optus user) might get the update BUT i have to wait for OPTUS itself to roll out the update via KIES, right?
Okay lets not talk about official 2.3.4.
AND one more thing, i would really like to remove the Optus bloatware by flashing STOCK firmware via Odin, but i have no idea which STOCK firmware i have to choose from. i'm aware that there are a lot of stock firmwares available from the link provided above, but which is the appropriate as well as the latest STOCK firmware for my unit.
Since my current firmware is PDA:KG1 / PHONE:KF3 / CSC:KG1 (OPS), obviously it is a Optus-based firmware, so which STOCK firmware do i have to choose from? what is the 'stock version' for my current firmware as listed from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
i am really stuck here. Hope you understand my situation.
Thanks once again mate

Stock = Samsung release so pick what you want for your area .

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.

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
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

I can't see it listed under the stock roms is it the frankenstien one you mean?

Hi Droiders,
I use Galaxy S2 (Android 4.0.3). Last night I had rooted my phone successfully.
Now I want to update my firmware, can anyone provide compatible Official Stock ROM of Android 4.0.4 for my phone
Can I install any region Stock ROM while upgrading ?
Additional Details:
I am from India , my current OS is Australian region (XSA) unbranded
Model NO: GT - I9100
PDA: I9100XWLP8
PHONE: I9100XXLPS
CSC: I9100XSALP4
Appreciate your help ...
Thanks,
Krishna
Couple of places you can get stock roms: Samfirmware.com, here (this site is better than Samfirmware IMHO) or with the PC version of Checkfus (search for it on Google/XDA).
Yes, you can install a stock rom for any region, but with one caveat. If you install a rom that isn't for your region, you may not be able to get future OTA updates from your carrier. Which isn't really a big deal because if your carrier does release a stock rom for your region, you could always download it with Checkfus & flash it with Odin (like almost everyone does on here).
