Hi,
Some providers hold back on updating their Android releases (they need time to add their bloatware)... a good was around this is by flashing either a custom rom or a base Samsung one. Flashing is a pretty simple task. I might suggest starting off by reading this thread .... Enjoy
thanks guys for your help.
its a new world and is a bit confusing for me as a new member but i understand some parts and are trying to get more and more.
but what i cant understand is why there are different version of firmware for the same region ? for example : mine is JPKH1 which is arabic and KH1 version and 2.3.3 ! whats the different between JPKH1 and JPKH2 and JPKG5 which all of them are arabic version and 2.3.3 ? and all are official !
please help me with that.
and i'm trying my first changing the firmware and rooting the device hope dont need to buy a new phone after that
thanks again.

Hello,
Greetings from Romania! Monster resources around here! I've started this thread because I need help in understanding some things that are not (yet!) clear to me. So, please be patient with me.
I want to install an AOSP ROM (CyanogenMod or MIUI, still not decided) and before I start to customize my SGS2, I would like to ask you a few questions.
Here is the info for my unlocked and unbranded SGS2:
*#1234#
PDA: i9100XWKI4
Phone: i9100XXKI1
CSC: i9100OXFKE1
Settings->About phone
Android: 2.3.4
Baseband: i9100XXKI1
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-i9100XWKI4-CL575468
Build: GINGERBREAD.XWKI4
So, here are my questions:
1. Does Phone=Baseband=Modem?
2. CSC is included in the firmware? If I update to XWKK2, will the phone work in my country (Romania: East Europe)?
3. What's the latest firmware? In this thread, it seems that XWKK2 is the latest. Is there a newer one?
4. The official Samsung firmware includes the stock ROM? If I update the firmware to XWKK2, will I have Android 2.3.6 Samsung stock ROM?
5. Is it recommended to update the current firmware of the phone before you start the rooting process? What are the benefits of updating the firmware?
6. Basically, is the Kernel independent from the firmware and can it be updated individually? As I can see, the XWKK2 stock Kernel can be downloaded separately.
7. Do I need to update also the Kernel to the latest version (XWKK2) before starting the rooting process? (Obviously, if I update the Kernel, when rooting according to Chainfire's guide, I will choose the correct CF-Root Kernel file: CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_KK2-v5.0-CWM5.zip)
8. After I root the phone (CF-Root 5.0), flash an ASOP ROM, do I need to/is it possible to update the firmware as soon as a new one is available from Samsung?
9. Is it possible to remove that warning triangle with an USB Jig if I have XWKK2? Or do I need to follow Chainfire's instructions found here? Which method to use? What are the differences between these two methods, besides the custom ROM count reset that the USB Jig will do?
10. The ASOP ROM that I'll flash (CM, MIUI, etc.) will have its own Kernel? If so, then there's no need to update the stock Kernel to XWKK2 in the first place? Only update the firmware before the root?
11. If Chainfire releases a new version for his CF-Root, say 6.0, do I need to update/reroot so that I'll have the new versions for Busybox, CWM?
12. After the successful rooting of my SGS2 using CF-Root, I'll make a backup of my existing stock ROM using CWM. If I need to use the warranty, I'll restore the stock ROM using CWM. Will this action remove CWM, Busybox and the associated root access so that the Samsung Service won't know what I've done (of course, also custom ROM count reset using USB Jig)?
As you can see, what I can't understand, are the relations between Firmware, Kernel and ROM! Which one includes the other ones?
Thank you! I'll really appreciate all the help I can get!

Build: GINGERBREAD.XWKI4
So, here are my questions:
1. Does Phone=Baseband=Modem?
YES = Modem sometimes called Radio and modems are interchangeable
2. CSC is included in the firmware? If I update to XWKK2, will the phone work in my country (Romania: East Europe)?
Yes if its Romanian firmware and CSC and yes if you enter network apn settings manually or flash a correct CSC .
3. What's the latest firmware? In this thread, it seems that XWKK2 is the latest. Is there a newer one?
KK5 latest in that thread .
4. The official Samsung firmware includes the stock ROM? If I update the firmware to XWKK2, will I have Android 2.3.6 Samsung stock ROM?
Stock = Samsung rom KK2 in the stock rom thread is stock .
5. Is it recommended to update the current firmware of the phone before you start the rooting process? What are the benefits of updating the firmware?
Really regards rooting to match latest firmware to latest rooted kernel
6. Basically, is the Kernel independent from the firmware and can it be updated individually?
No its part of the firmware the actual core if you like . Yes it can be updated individually from XDA .
As I can see, the XWKK2 stock Kernel can be downloaded separately.
7. Do I need to update also the Kernel to the latest version (XWKK2) before starting the rooting process? (Obviously, if I update the Kernel, when rooting according to Chainfire's guide, I will choose the correct CF-Root Kernel file: CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_KK2-v5.0-CWM5.zip)
No flash stock XWKK2 first then root with KK2 root is the simple method .
8. After I root the phone (CF-Root 5.0), flash an ASOP ROM, do I need to/is it possible to update the firmware as soon as a new one is available from Samsung?
Custom roms are not always updated via Samsung firmware route as product codes do not match whats on the server .
10. The ASOP ROM that I'll flash (CM, MIUI, etc.) will have its own Kernel? If so, then there's no need to update the stock Kernel to XWKK2 in the first place? Only update the firmware before the root?
If you flash stock KK2 you are including KK2 kernel its always part of the package .
11. If Chainfire releases a new version for his CF-Root, say 6.0, do I need to update/reroot so that I'll have the new versions for Busybox, CWM?
Not really .
12. After the successful rooting of my SGS2 using CF-Root, I'll make a backup of my existing stock ROM using CWM. If I need to use the warranty, I'll restore the stock ROM using CWM. Will this action remove CWM, Busybox and the associated root access so that the Samsung Service won't know what I've done (of course, also custom ROM count reset using USB Jig)?
No as your backup includes the CWM rooted kernel .
Simple method is flash full stock firmware to remove root etc and reset custom rom counter .
As you can see, what I can't understand, are the relations between Firmware, Kernel and ROM! Which one includes the other ones?
ROM basically the full package PDA = firmware including kernel
Phone = modem CSC = country specifics
Kernel Modem and CSC can be flashed separately and changed from original .
KK2 firmware with KK1 Firmware KH3 Modem and CSC for another area is all possible .

Hello fellow XDA-members,
I currently have an S2 with the following system information:
Android: 2.3.3
Baseband: I9100XXKE4
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE7-CL215725
GINGERBREAD.XWKE7
Updating through Kies won't work, as it said it did not recognise blabla (possibly due root and changed kernel).
I would like to update to the next official rom, with 2.3.5 (or 6, I'm not sure what the latest version was). I'm kind a lost in the maze of all the ROMS and stuff, so could anyone point me to the right next official ROM that I could flash & be up to date to the latest stable android?
Regards,
Paul

Choose the one you want for your country /location 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 .

So for example, I could take the following one, then pick the XEN (Ntherlands) download (I live in Holland, T-Mobile). Do you also need to pick the kernel, or only flash this XEN one?
XWKK2
Firmware info
PDA:XWKK2
PHONE: XXKI4
Date: 11/11/2011
Android 2.3.6
XEN (Netherlands): http://www.multiupload.com/PBBE9HBXTS
XSA (Australia): http://www.multiupload.com/DRS2VVATBP
XWKK2 Stock Kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/7PRSFYHUWL
Password: [email protected]
Stock rom do not need another kernel .
XEN for your location .
jje
I meant, I currently have the "Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE7-CL215725", some time ago I flashed it to that kernel and applied root. I just only need to download the XEN version ROM, and just flash it, I do not need to download that specific kernel too and flash that before. (So in summary, just flash the rom, not needed to change the kernel I already had).
Thanks
Kernel is part of the firmware package not a separate item .
Kernels posted are not part of the update you flash firmware xxx and you have CSC OS APPS MODEM and KERNEL updated .
You will need to reroot use same kernel number as the one you flash .

3.i do not know how to explain this one because i use odin for flashing.
4.open wifi then go to about phone then click software update if there is a latest version available then download and install.
5.to know if you are rooted there should be an app superuser home screen.
6.no its your choice but with rooting you can get cool features here is advantages and disadventages of rooting link:http://droidlessons.com/what-is-rooting-on-android-the-advantages-and-disadvantages/
7.not sure if this will help but refer here:http://www.androidcentral.com/android-z-what-kernel
8.dead phone means you cant turn it on again and it wont do anything,the only way to repair it is send it to the company.to avoid it dont install firmware from other models before flashing make sure its for i9100G and dont use apps like rom manager.
9.never used kies before so i cant help on this.

But is all versions or any update (united states,United Kingdom, United Arab emirates) supporting Arabic (read & write) or must be an Arabic version " i need English interface and all thing is in English but reading and writing Arabic".
what is the difference between firmware update( KSA, KSA (JED), Egypt, and UAE).
Is product Code important for update firmware?
and if it is that's meaning that i can't download any firmware expect France firmware
What is Stock ROM for my phone and how can i know it and where can i download it?
Is that important to install kernel beside firmware update and what is its benefit? how can i choose a appropriate one to my phone?

Search PhilZ kernel on XDA.Then download the XWLSD version.be sure it's a ".zip" file,and it says"signed".Put this file (w/o extract)on your external SD card.The reboot into recvery,choose"install update from external storage or something similar",and then install the downloaded file.Now you are rooted,without a yellow triangle.
