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?
Can anyone explain the Samsung ROM version number scheme? For instance, what does XWKL1 translate into?
Just interested. Thanks,
Craig
This is from the Galaxy Note forums but still applicable:

XWKL1 would be a build from Dec 2011, 1st revision, for the region France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom
Perfect. Thanks!
Hi everyone,
This is more of a question for people who have played around with other ROMs, aswell as had the chance to have a play with Samsungs official STOCK rom with the NEW firmwire...
Doubt its very many because it would involve a FULL WIPE.
My question is this...
Ive used Omega ROM for a few weeks, was good, then changed to CheckROM Evo v2 (because checkrom was AMAZING on my SG2).
CheckROM then brought out v3.5 of their ROM, "no wipe", so i updated without wipe, now some of my apps/games don't work.
I won't ask questions about that because the obvious answer would be to do a FULL WIPE and it should work. But i dont want to keep doing this whenever a NEW version of a particular ROM comes out....its a pain!
Yeah, sure, i could just stick to one rom and be happy, but i can't when i know theres a newer/better one out there! LoL!
So, getting back to my question...
I've obviously seen that Samsung has updated their Firmware and heard nothing but good reviews about it; no more lags on homescreen etc..
Would anyone suggest (and why) just flashing back to the Stock ROM rather than hae a custom ROM installed???
Thanks for anyone would read all that without getting bored and is willing to respond!
U are already on latest firmware LFB. LG1 is the same just for Asian, LFB is European.
even though a rom is no wipe it's always best to wipe anyway,to get a clean install.
use "titanium backup" to. Backup all your user apps and settings.
Don't restore system apps,it's never a good idea

LFB can be anywhere. Its the XX in XXBFLB that is the region code. XX could be any of the following:
AW → Hungary
AZ → France
BD → Cyprus, Greece
BY → Greece
CB → Poland
CE → Benelux
CP → Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden
DB → Vietnam
DC → Thailand
DD → India
DT → Australia
DX → Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam
DZ → Malaysia, Singapore
JA → South Africa
JC → Algeria, Morocco, Nigeria, South Africa, Tunisia
JP → Arabic
JR → Arabic
JV → Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Morocco, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia,South Africa, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey
JW → West Africa
JX → Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Morocco, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia,South Africa, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey
KA → Turkey
ME → France
MK → Serbia
MS → France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, UK
MT → Switserland
MY → Italy
NH → Latvia
PO → France
PU → Russia
UB → Brazil
XA → Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Switzerland, United Kingdom

XC → Portugal, Spain
XD → Croatia, Czech, Hungary, Slovakia
XE → Bulgaria, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine
XF → Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania
XP → UK, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Poland, Portuguese, Turkey
XX → Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom
XW → Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom
ZC → China, Hong Kong
ZH → Hong Kong
ZS → China, Hong Kong
ZT → Taiwan
I dont know what the first B means But LFB means 2012, June, Revision 11
Edit... So I think whats happening is International GSM are all XXB, and each area get a specific revision. So XXBLG1 is International GSM, 2012, June, revision 16, which is the same features as LFB but for Singapore and Malaysia
Original question .
In my view their is very little difference in any of the stock roms so far .
Custom Samsung based roms likewise very little if any performance difference few have add in pretty stuff and thats about it . Usability and benchmarks all the same .
Dont forget most custom Samsung roms are just that Samsung rom with a bit of cut and paste on top .
The key is good rom that's it rom updated every week or less cannot be a good rom likewise those that jump on the latest firmware .

Guys, which CSC delivers the latest builds of Unbranded firmwares for those who want to flash fully stock carrier unchanged ROMS? Im from Macedonia, my phone is T-Mobile branded, I've seen that SEE (South Eastern Europe) is actually a good CSC for unbranding in my region, but its on NA5, 16.01.2014 build, while some CSC's have ND1 31.03.2014 build.

I'm waiting as well. Not sure if it is "merger" related, or if they are just slow.
I believe AT&T got it possibly on Saturday.
Just downloading the One UI 2 and Android 10 update (still December security patch).. it is 1943.94MB in filesize!
UK unlocked Note10, directly purchased from Samsung UK!
