Is there anyone who is able to help with this topic?
I've been searching for a while for firmware/kernel/root information, specifically on their relationship with the country region and also the language support and native keyboards. Most of the threads/questions I found are all unanswered, and perhaps this is an eternal mystery, but would be nice if someone just said so.
My Galaxy S2 was bought in Thailand, but letter code is DX? (Does this even matter?), and I am using it in New Zealand.
PDA: KF4, Phone: KF1, CSC: KF1 (THL)
Kies wants to update my version to
PDA: KI2, Phone: KI1, CSC: KH1 (THL)
The current languages it supports as well as native keyboards include: thai, korean and english - both UK and US.
What exactly defines the inclusion of language support and native keyboards? According to the XDA official ROM page ([ROM+Guide]Official i9100 Firmwares KG, KH1/2/3/4, KI1/2/3/4/8, KJ1/2/3 Download - xda-developers), it has nothing to do with the CSC, which has been suggested in other threads.
and finally, how do you tell from the firmware list, what languages it supports? and if I flash with a randomly chosen firmware (which I assume you can), could I possibly lose my currently installed native keyboards, to have it removed or replaced with something else entirely?
There are plenty of guides on how to do all these things (load firmware, rooting, kernels, etc), but I'm having trouble finding any guides on how to choose the correct ones.
Sorry for the lengthy novice question.
appreciate any help, or redirection to where I can find any answers.

As the title says, which Firmware/ROM and CSC supports Android in Japanese?
I'd like to have both English (UK) and Japanese as a language option.
My Nexus S supported both from the box.
Could someone tell me which CSC / Firmware support Japanese?

Thanks!
But where to get the firmware package?
And when I do, I can just flash the CSC over another Firmware?
Not available on the Kies/Cuf server yet.
That is unfortunate.
However, I presume that if I find a CSC that has DCM included, I could get proper Japanese support.
I will keep looking

im in the same boat, i flashed the DCM CSC but the language dosent fully change in the phone OS to japanese, if you see in the nexus S the menus etc are in japanese when you flash the dcm csc only part of of the os is in japanese
Bah, and here I hoped a DCM CSC would solve all
Then I guess I should search the net for a SC-02C Firmware with CSC and see what that does.
As there is no update available via KIES, I don't know where to look (yet) but if I find something I will update this thread.
Im looking for the same thing too, please update too if you found the way to change it to Japanese Thanks alot
So there's still no way to fix this?
I have a Galaxy S i9000 and no official firmware have real japanese support (you can install japanese keyboard and read japanese but not japanese menus). What I did was installing cyanogenmod that have full japanese support. It has some drawbacks as battery doesnt last as long as the stock firmware but I'm happy so far.
I need this too.. Comes in handy at times.

KF4 is after KE7 as in K is 2011 E is a month 7 is build
No change logs published by Samsung .
and how do i know what is the language of the ROM?
By reading the instructions on the first page of that link .
CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.

Region codes.
This helps me a lot.
I ran a google search but i didn't find which is better and what is the diffrent
ZS = Hong Kong
XW = ?
There is something i would prefer?
Can I install any ROM i want? if i have XW version this is possible to install ZS?
You can install any ROM's any time over any ROM. ZS is dedicated for Hong Kong, ZN is China, why should you install them if you are not located in those countries? XW is open region I guess, it's mainly for Europe and some other Asian countries like India and else.

My Region is israel what rom should i pick?
XWKF3 is earlier from ZSKF4

I have found that XXKG6 ROM have the support i need but nothing mentions about JH. This ROM Runs android 2.3.4 i have 2.33 , If I will install the ROM
it will change to 2.3.4?
If you install a 2.3.4 ROM then you will definitely have 2.3.4.
Regards.
After i flashed the ROM, can I just install CSC with odin?
And if i will flash another kernel CSC will be removed right?
Kernel doesn't have anything to do with CSC. I don't the first part of your query though.
1. When flashing while i'm in install mode i always get an error:
cannot access system/csc/dbt/system
this is normal?
2. I have Frankenstein XXKG6 it seen to be great but there is an RTL fix to this build?
if not what is the recommended firmware that support RTL?
Hi All,
My firmware version for the S2 is
PDA: I9100XWKF3
Phone: I9100XXK27
CSC: I9100XEUKD1
Can anyone please tell me if this is the latest firmware?
Any help is appreciated.

thanks for the link in the first reply! been looking for it a while
Hello
I've bought a new Galaxy SII recently, and faced a problem with the market, it crashes and not a single solution I read on the internet has helped me.
I've thought if I upgrade to 2.3.4 from 2.3.3 it could solve the problem, KIES doesn't offer me any upgrade.
My firmware is specific to the Middle East, it includes support for Arabic keyboard.
Now I have two questions after I've read the topic Official i9100 Firmwares KF1/2/3/4/, KG1/2/3/5/6/7, KH1/2/3/4 Download
1) If I upgrade to a version which isn't specific to the Middle East, will I lose the support for Arabic keyboard?
2) Should I be strict to the phone baseband version?
Baseband version: XXKG5
Build Number: JPKH1
In another word, should I choose the versions for Baseband XXKG5 only from that thread?
1. If you use a version that is not specific to the middle east, you will lose your arabic support but there are now mods where you can add arabic support to any rom.
2. Baseband equals modems that you can change, you might find better reception with a newer modem.
3. csc which contains the information for connecting to the internet, you will need to keep the same :
Regarding CSC, I can add IPNs on my own, so it doesn't matter for me then?
Thank you
Post the specifics of your current firmware. Input *#1234# in the dialpad and post the details as they appear on here.
JPKH1 is Arabic firmware
Here's the output
PDA: I9100JPKH1
PHONE: I9100XXKG5
CSC: I9100JPKH1
Build Info: Fri Aug 5 13:34:05 KST 2011
Sorry guys not wanting to hijack the thread, been searching for similar answers...
PDA: I9100XWKF3
PHONE: I9100XXKH3
CSC: I9100CPWKD1
I'm rooted using CF matched Kernel and have remained on that, does no harm as far as i'm aware except for yellow triangle at boot..
I'd like to go from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 too and wondering about what to flash and what would fit, my CSC is Carphone Warehouse would that be correct? How important is it to match CSC?
Regards Baseband, doesn't really matter does it?
And firmware, thought about Frankenstein XXKF3 or 4 or am I getting things totally wrong?
And on that note, does the firmware version stiplulate which ROM I can load?

Ok. Try clearing the market data under manage applications and see if that works.
If you're not using an Arabic firmware you won't have Arabic language support.
I tried it many times, it just doesn't work, I tried to do factory reset, installed a newer version (3.0.26 & 3.0.27) I moved MarketUpdater.apk (someone said it works). Nothing at all was useful to me. I want to have the complete experience, I want to access the market, but it doesn't work!!
I have the same problem in my fiancee's X8 xperia too.
I don't know if it's related to my country (market isn't available here, it's forbidden here). I rooted my device and installed & configured SSH Tunnel, I sniffed the network and made sure that it connects through the ssh tunnel, but it crashes every time.

I'm going to download this GT-I9100_XSG_I9100JPKH1_I9100XXKG5_I9100OJPKH1.exe and install it, to restore the phone to its default status.
I should do it in Odin using the PDA box, right?
I've finished the restore of the original firmware, it didn't help the app still crashes!!
Sound like it's been sabotaged. We need an Android intifada in your country to stop the oppression against the Android market.
There is already intifada in Syria
But not Android intifada though.
BTW, Stay safe.

Hi guys,
I originally held off posting this question for a few days, as I figured I should be able to find the answer somewhere withing the forums, and didn't want to bother anyone by making a new thread, but after three days, I've come to the end of it all, and am still as confused as ever, so here goes nothing...
Currently, I'm running the official MIUI ROM, on the Optus network in Australia.
My phone originally shipped with the XWKG1 baseband.
I've since moved to MIUI, and it now says my baseband version is XXKF3.
All this is doing my head in...
For example, what's the difference between XX, and XW? I read in Intratech's thread that the difference is:
XX---> Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, United Kingdom
XW---> Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Nordic, Spain, United Kingdom
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But this just confused me more
No where does it say Australia? I've had people tell me that you can flash any baseband/modem, so long as it's for the I9100, and that KI3 is the best to use (but again, do I use XWKI3, or XXKI3?), and that makes me a little more hopeful...
But I've also seen, for example, KI3 used to refer to a lot... e.g.:
XXKI3
Android 2.3.5
This original (unmodified) Wipe Package with new bootloader has: PDA: XXKI3| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: OXAKI3
Download: http://www.multiupload.com/NJV6PR87Y3
These packages have the new bootloader removed and repacked with the old ones so you can safely reset the binary counter with a Jig.
This Frankenstein™ Non-Wipe package has: PDA: XXKI3| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: XEUKD1
Download: http://www.multiupload.com/7JTWS2E37R
XXKI3 Stock Kernel:http://www.multiupload.com/WDOO81L5H6
Password: [email protected]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So, to summarize, what is the difference between XX and XW? Is it just the country? And, is it a full firmware, or can I flash it over the top of MIUI, and keep everything? (same question goes for CSC).
I know it's a lot to ask, and it probably had been covered somewhere else, but I just don't know where else to look
Really, all I'm looking for is the right (latest or fastest) baseband/modem to flash, and the right CSC as well...
Thanks for your time,
screamworks.
First of all wrong section. Shoud have posted in QA. Secondly do you have any problems with the modem your useing right now? Or why do you want to change it. Most of us only go back to stock or country specific modems or csc-s for warranty purposes. If you think KI3 modem might be better for you just flash it. Only the modem not the whole rom. If your looking for answers try the miui thread.
I know using the search sometimes is a pain especially on xda cause it has such a large amount of threads but remember you posted another one that probably has been answered elsewhere.

I need German language rom for the SGS2 GT-I9100T, please tell me where and how i can download file. (link)
The mobile phone is not net/simlock
please help
Thank you very much
Go to settings-input,language-language. And search for Germany language.
All roms have Germany language it writed in description... if not it always be soon for it or sometimes not.
Send form Galaxy S2. But I don't have it :-\
So, in my SGS2 no German language is included, there are a total of close uk, usa, russki, arabic and heb..,
Thank you
Maybe look for "Deutsch", not German, if its still not there:
Go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ search for your model, then download a European ROM and flash it; remember you have 9100"T". For more instructions on flashing roms, search for threads here on xda forum.

GT-i9100 ICS 4.0.3
Thanks Frank,
If I with the specified link the FW Checker seeking out I just get this:
Latest firmware info
GT-I9100T - (Pelephone)
PDA: I9100TJJLPB
CSC: I9100TPCLLPB
Version: 4.0.3
Modified: 2012-10-08
Download: here
I think if I followed the FW downloading then I have no German menu.
Are you ready for me to dig out the correct FW? I myself am afraid that I was wrong downloading and at the end I have sim / Netlock
Thank you
Hmm i searched for your model on sammobile and there are indeed no european versions for it... only israel or australia and some others... maybe an australian one would include german... you could try.
Another idea is that you could flash a normal european GT-i9100 ROM and then flash a modem for your model T, but im no expert, maybe someone else could help you with that. Look for your model in google.
================
GT-i9100 ICS 4.0.3
Thanks Frank,
best we wait, maybe some expert reports here in the forum,
Thanks again
Finally I managed, Odin3 v3.04 + I9100XWLQ2_I9100DBTLPO_DBT of Samfirmware Downloads, at Odin, the TAR file added to the menu PDA, that's it
in the FW's all there, now it's GT-I9100 without T
Thanks to you
