Hey guys just got my s2 today.
its locked on 3G network uk
and i would like to unbrand it to the sim free unlocked version.
Which is the right firmware for me to use?
XWKE2
XEUKD1
Thank you
You'll need to get the unlock code from 3G or buy one online.
after you've unlocked it, you need to flash custom rom, ODIN should be able to do it.

Debrand Guide here but the rebrand is for O2 but same steps if you have original saved 3 firmware .

Hi try with another network sim card. I bought from 3 last week on a 24 months contract and tested with O2 sim and it works. My handset is not locked to 3. Yours may be the same. Please check. (may be 3 is not locking SGS II in the first few batches, I only guess)
Also, I flashed latest official ROM with Odin and it works. Also I rooted my phone.
Ok so what firmware is the correct sim free uk version?
Correct as in probable original KDD dependant upon build date Kies will show latest version for phones brand as of today .
Upgrade KE1 followed by KE 2 which has just been pulled waiting for KE3 .
Unbrand as post says to KDD then you can upgrade using same method when KE3 is released .

Hi all i have a Samsung Galaxy S II on vodafone i guess its locked on vodafone (not sure), I was wondering if there a way i can reflash it or reinstall it with default SII software?
Yep. Search for an unbranded firmware for your country over @ Sammobile.com given our collection of same went away recently. Follow whatever installation instructions they have for flashing same.
Also, if you wanted to 'de-brand' your phone, you could always root it (search on here, there are 1000's of posts that tell you the how & why of this. This thread is a good start), and then use Titanium Backup to freeze or uninstall all the crap your telco/Samsung put on the phone.
P.S - You got a free thanks due to my fat fingers. Today is your lucky day.

Hey buddy , thank u for helping . Could u let us know , did u pay money for ur phone to be flashed or not ? Because as u know rooting phone voids its guarantee . By the way , i havent tried them because after that i need unlock code and huawei hasnt sent me any code yet . So i prefer my phone to be rooted instead of having my bluetooth working and unfortunately there is no solution for rooting u8950-1 yet . Im wondering why they dont email us any unlock code for u8950-1 but they have sent to people unlock code for u8950d . Did u ask huawei service about unlock code ?

i didn't paid anything.i think they were so kind with me and didn't avoid my guaranty.
you can unroot your device then take it to service center.
or flash one of that ROM on my previous post.

Hi everybody,
I try also to find an original firware for my u-8950-1, I downloaded the V100R001C326B953 firmware but it doesn't install on my phone (i have U8950-1V100R001WEC00B942).
The 3 firware versions are only work with Czech phones i think.
Anyone have link to other official firware? I try google and of course huawei website but couldn't find anything.
Thanks for your help guys.

Hi, i'm new to this forum and I have a question regarding my old Galaxy S2. The phone is running on Android 2.3.4 (Carrier branded - Swisscom, the logo appears while turning the phone on), SIM unlocked. I was wondering could I install LineageOS or any newer custom rom immediately, or do I need to install different firmware before that? By the way, I'm new when it comes to rooting/custom roms etc, so I'm scared that i might brick it.
Thanks in advance

Hi and welcome to XDA.
Please have a look at this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/guide-tutorial-samsung-galaxy-s2-i9100-t3538601
I used this guide a couple of years ago to move from 2.3.6 to 7.1.2. You now have more choice for the Android version, you can update to 7, 8 or 9 if you like. The guide will get you to the point of ROM installation, from there you can use the install instructions for the one you choose.
Good luck, happy flashing and let us know how you go.
