hi all,
I have been using XXKI4 (full Stock) for a week now.
Is it me or this just the way XXKI4 behaving. I found that ZSKI3 is alot more stable than KI4.
When my tasker is switching from home to office and witching Wifi to Data, my skype seems to be more solid using the KI3.
Battery is about the same. may be abit better on KI3 (strangely enough).
Any opinions are much appreciated.
Cheers
ZSKI3 was Hong Kong Rom vs XXKI4 for International version.
I wouldn't put the Hong Kong version on my device just suggesting.
The Hong Kong/Taiwan (ZS) roms are compatible with other international Galaxy S II versions. You might be thinking of the mainland China (ZC) roms which are completely different and might screw up your phone.
As for the differences between ZSKI3 and XXKI4, Samsung doesn't release changelogs so who knows what the actual differences are. You might want to do a full wipe and see if that helps though.
Also I think ZSKI4 should be coming out soon, since Samsung canceled ZSKI3 on Kies for Hong Kong.
Does anyone have a download link for the ZSKI3??
That was my original firmware and since my phone won't boot up, I wanted to try flashing that back on to it.

I think i have a Latin American version of the phone. Is it safe to flash with a UK ROM? Will it, for all intent and purposes, be like a UK version of the SGS2?
Yeh it'll be fine as long as there are no hardware differences, you can find stock firmwares on samfirmware.com

Thanks! Gonna do this afternoon then!
You're welcome, if i was you I would flash a generic European rom (XEU) as they receive ROM updates through Kies before the UK specific versions do, I'm on O2 in the UK and still on KE2 (my product code is O2U)

I plan on flashing this one, which is the last one listed for Europe on SamFirmwares.com:
I9100XWKF3 ## EXT4.PIT 2.3.3 2011 June 9 CSC - KCL
Is that a good one to get?
I'm starting to understand the whole firmware numbers now. Damn, talk about immersing yourself in a new culture to learn the language!
Seems like the newest generic UK ROM is KE7.
Since I'm in the US, and there is no US version of the phone, I wonder which CSC I should use. I guess it comes down to which region has the most desirable app choices in the market, huh?
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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
I have looked, and couldnt find the danish firmware or something similiar to what im now looking for.

Danish KE4 or KF4 Its that or ask in the branded roms post or try Google .
KDD still on Samfirmware .

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

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 a new S2. Its GSM from Germany. I tried to flash an ICS Theme. But now i got bootloops. I tried to Wipe everything but it doesnt work. I am able to use Odin or Kies. Can somone help me to bring it back to where it was original. without any theme and no root? i got Odin and Kies installed. Where do i get Stock Rom for 1und1 Germany or Stock German rom and how do i install it?
which is the right firmware to download. i dont get it which one is the right one and which one is the newest to use for german language
i got these information from my rom XXKI4, KJ1
Get carrier-specific firmware here or if your carrier isn't listed in that thread get country-specific firmware here. You could also use Checkfus (do a search on here) to get the latest firmware available for your carrier that you'd normally get via Kies.
thanks a lot, but i dont know which one of the country specific is the newest and right one for me. Can you help me out?
Looks like there's only one available in Intratech's official carrier firmware thread for O2 Germany (XWKI1), Checkfus says KI8 is available for O2 Germany (Dated: 22/11/11) assuming you have a I9100 (check the sticker under your battery to make doubly sure.
I don't know which one is more recent as Intra's firmwares don't have dates on them, but I'm guessing the KI8 available thru Checkfus is more recent as this would also be available via Kies. I don't think it will make a great deal of difference which one you use at the end of the day given you don't seem to know which firmware you had on your phone originally. Either will work just fine with your phone I would imagine, provided you definitely have a I9100 or I9100T
Up to you which one you use.

thanks a lot for your answers. i just flashed a custom rom andy everything is good
So I recently bought Samsung Galaxy S2, coming from iPhone it's quite tricky when it comes to firmwares. My phone is the I9100G white model and I accidentally tried to flash the I9100 ICS firmware update.. But after researching on the net I was able to flash it back to the GingerBread firmware via Odin software. My query is that will I be able to get and install official firmwares from Samsung or not directly through KIES, if not than how can I shift back to the original firmware for my device which would work on KIES update.. Lastly has ICS been released for I9100G model as yet or not??? Your help would be much appreciated..!!

I9100 SGS2 is international version and doesn`t matter from which country you bought
I9100G isn't distributed by any of the networks in the UK or even sold direct by any major retailer (well, maybe one). You should be able to check your IMEI somewhere like here to see where it's from.
ROM
Can you recommend any other custom ROM for I9100G model.. I have come across many ROMs for the I9100 but not the I9100G one..

If you haven't flashed custom ROMs or updated your firmware yet, your build number in the About Phone screen will (sort of ) tell you. It's a code that can be deciphered.
What is the build number?
type keyboard *2767*4387264636#

XW is a generic Europe code that could be many countries (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Nordic, Spain, United Kingdom).
LA1 means it was build 1 in January of 2012.
I believe you can further narrow down what country by finding your CSC by typing *#1234# into your dialer.
is india or bangladesh
I think you should be able to flash through Kies when you revert to the stock ROM. Here is a list of official I9100 firmware, I guess you could find yours in there.

Sorry. Made an a** of myself . My bad.
I missed in the first post of the thread where he said he flashed back to a stock firmware, so my suggestion was voided, since it was no longer the original firmware that shipped with his phone.

Yea exactly, thats what i want to know how can you revert back to the original firmware that would work with KIES..
Sent from my GT-I9100G using XDA
Two options.
1) Original firmware that came with phone; search for said firmware on Samfirmware.com, flash according to any instructions they have for flashing firmware downloaded from their site.
2) Latest stock firmware you'd normally get via Kies; get the PC version of Checkfus (search for it on XDA/Google). This will allow you to download the latest firmware for your phone/carrier/country that you'd normally get via Kies (might be the same firmware which came with the phone, depends on whether carrier has pushed a firmware update since or not). Flash this firmware you download following the instructions in Intratech's firmwares threads on here.

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.
