I recently bought a Galaxy S II here in Australia and it came with a stock Samsung firmware. Typing *#1234# gave this information:
PDA :- I9100XWKF3
Phone :- I9100XXKE7
CSC :- I9100XSAKE3
I have been flashing the phone over the weekend with custom ROMs but I didn't like any of them (some of them would not even connect to samsung's Kies software). I have been trying to find which firmware would restore my phone to its just-bought condition, but I can't seem to locate it in the SamFirmware.com firmware list.
Help please? Thanks.
Stock firmware or provider firmware in Dev section.

Actually, I've already been there. My problem is that, confronted with the unexplained alphabet soup that is the firmware names, I still can't seem to find one which matches the above details. Unless there's a convention I don't know.
information can be found on the following page. the last 5 letter+number in your PDA and Phone info are what you need to match the stock roms to your phone (in this case, XWKF3 and XXKE7). instruction is at the top of that page as well. hope it helps, buddy. best of luck!

A big thank you to dchn2 and intratech for their pointers (and intratech, again, for his wonderful stock firmware thread). I have no idea why it didn't come up when I did my searches but it has been a great read.

Looks like you've trashed your phone with repartitioning and flashing a kernel as a bootloader. What guide were you following which told you to do this?
I would expect this is a rather sheepish trip to a Samsung Service Centre.
is there any thing to do ?
if you've repartitioned then its off to Samsung i'm afraid. Which guide did you follow?
i follow one of arabic guide
is there any box can fix this ?
It might not be completely bricked. Try really hard to get into download mode. If that still works, flash a stock firmware from Intratechs thread with his guide, with one .tar file only. This is how I unbricked mine after I put the wrong stuff in the wrong Odin box.
Its not bricked. Its at the second 'download mode' point. Go to intratechs official software thread in original development thread and follow the directions in the first post.
When using odin, make sure you arent running kies at the same time. Odin and kies dont mix well.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
someone told me that it need a full software with box and it will work
is that true
Hi guys,
I'm really sorry if a question like this has been answered, but I'll try my best to keep it brief.
So, I got a new blue 16GB SGS3 from Vodafone Australia today, and the stock firmware was a Vodafone branded one.

At the moment, that particular official firmware is not available for download, so I wanted to know how I can make a backup of it so it's like the type you can flash via ODIN.
In other words, I want to save it as a tar.md5 file so I can flash it back to stock in case I have to claim warranty etc. in the future.
Can someone give me a short description as to how this is done, or if possible, just link me to a full How-To thread?
Thanks for your time!
Answer is not before root .
But you can use CHECKFUS to download the original firmware or its update if its on the Samsung Server .
That can be flashed via Odin .
Or you can look for that firmware in the stock rom thread or on sammobile.com .

Thanks for the reply.
As far as I know, my current Vodafone branded firmware is not available at sammobile.com or the Official Firmware thread yet, hence the initial idea of backing up my own one.
Other than doing it AFTER root with something like CWM, is there a way to backup the current kernel?
Thanks
I've been running a 4.1.1 jelly bean rooted with CWM Touch on my S 3 for a while, and for some battery problems I've had to return the mobile for stock unrooted ROM to visit the Sam Customer service, so I flashed the XXABLFB using Odin3 then done a factory reset with the code:
*2767*3855#
It all went well .. and the mobile now is android ICS 4.0.1 .. but when I try to do the OTA update to turn to jelly bean it says no update available, and kies gives a "not supported firmware version:

I tried also to reroot the phone and reflash the CWM to do a full format but the odin3 keeps giving me "FAIL" messages.
any suggestions ?!
You are in Egypt? I suspect that the firmware that you have flashed is not intended for the region? top of my head, XX is European/British based ROMs, or that JB update is yet to be released in Egypt through your mobile carrier?
What I would recommend for you to do now, send the phone to SSC to resolve your initial issue since the phone is already unrooted. In particular situations should SSC not repair your phone and provide you with a replacement unit, you would be wasting your time in trying to get JB update etc...
You have Korean firmware on a non Korean product .
CSC= KOR .
Join XDA Developers and flash stock rom .

Cyanogen mod 7 came out when I bought my S2 and I was encouraged to stick it on by a RL friend. I never got a backup of my stock ROM and I've never seen it available since...
I've searched the forum, and I've been all over this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928 and there are some BVKH1 ROMs there but none for Orange UK. Is it safe to use any of those (Austria, France, Poland, Romania...)?

I'd be very grateful for advice / clarification.

try www.sammobile.com, u might find one there
Thanks for the heads-up, but it's not there. IIRC, KIES is only going to work for me if I have matching letters - BVKH1. That site has a BVLPH which tantalisingly promises Kies compatibility, but presumably only to a BVLPH-original phone, right?

This is an ongoing issue been bothering me since about a week after Cyanogenmod v7 came out. I will paypal anyone £5 for the right file I need (see screenshot in earlier post) to restore my phone to stock.
I deleted the Samsung Galaxy A10 own ROM and loaded a different ROM. Now I want to go back to the original, but I couldn't find any rom. Can you help me?

Please don't share your serial number or IMEI online. I have removed it from your post.
As for downloading firmware, you can use Sammobile or Frija. Just use your device model. Looks like the latest available firmware is A105FDDU8CVH4

What firmware were you trying to flash?
Why do you need legal help? XDA is not a legal forum, you won't find attorneys here.
