Just randomly checked my new phone I have just upgraded to from a third party supplier on Three (Phone totally unlocked).
Edit: After adjusting my eyes I have amended the above.
So what is it? Does this mean when XEU uk unbranded rom arrives on Kies I won't be able to upgrade?

You have the same setup as me. are you still on 2.3.4? notice everywhere else in uk appears to be on 2.3.5 these days.

notice everywhere else in uk appears to be on 2.3.5 these days.
Nope not true updates have to be fetched so the majority will be on original firmware .
Only a tiny minority are XDA minded with a few more savy enough to update .
jje

Ill clarify in that most have 2.3.5 available . This product code appears to be stuck on 2.3.4 when normally unbranded are released first i believe .

Yep,
Here in the UK on XEU, the SGS2 is still on 2.3.4
.... There isn't even an XEU leak for a newer firmware for this region.
Even the galaxy s1 has XEU leaks for 2.3.6 I think.
Soooo much for their top high end phone getting updates first.

Input *#1234# in the dialpad and post the CSC details, that's how we'll know what region it's from. Will be either Trinidad and Tobago (TTT), Dominican Republic (TDR), Venezuela (VNO) or Costa Rica (TPA).

Wow .. someone who understands the naming convention ! Can you please tell me which original versions contain Czech in it ? What letters I'm supposed to look for ?
I've seen convention tables on samfirmware .. but there are no ROMs with names they describe.
At the moment I have ROM made for T-mobile Germany, which also contains Czech .. but I want unbranded ROM.

No. It is unbranded off contract from Phones4U. Just unsure if its an XW or XX ROM and which CSC.

Just check the latest firmware from branded post for your location and use that number to find stock rom .

[Q] New firmware for I9100 from Vodafone Romania on 08.01.2012

Hi,
Kies announced me today (08.01.2012) that it has downloaded a new firmware for my I9100. I'm on Vodafone Romania.
But because I have a custom ROM on my phone, I'm wasn't able to see what version it's about.
Did anyone from Romania received the same announce?
What version it is? Could it be ICS 4?
Regards,
Stefan
Unfortunately I am on Orange but most likely is 2.3.6 or .5. If it was ICS, it would have already been leaked on the Internet.
latest for vodafone romania is KJ3 which is 2.3.5 .. checkfus downloader says it all
Thank you guys.
I just thought that it could be ICS.
Regards,
Stefan

I've checked and you're right:
Last modified: 2011-10-24
Latest firmware: I9100BUKJ3/I9100CNXKI2/I9100BUKI1/I9100BUKJ3
File name: GT-I9100_CNX_1_20111024142942.zip.enc2
Version: Android 2.3.5
But what's very strange is why Kies informed me now about this new firmware, considering that I have it installed on my laptop since I bought my phone (in may 2011)... Before this announce I didn't connect my phone to the laptop through KIES. And more, having a custom rom on my phone KIES cannot search for updates.
Isn't this strange?
Regards,
Stefan

[Q] How to ID a true sim free GS2?

looking at a near new GS2 here in the UK
How do I ID a true sim free GS2 vs just an unlocked one?
You probably can't if it's been correctly flashed to a generic ROM (which is what I presume you mean by unlocked), but if it hasn't, you can type *#1234# into the dialer and check the CSC.
whats the "CSC"?
CSC = country specific settings network settings etc .
Original Product code Original seller may give you a slight clue .
But network provider sell both locked and unlocked phones .
IMEI checking may give a slight clue as to country of origin

Is getting a simfree/non-locked phone from carrier SAME as getting a phone from retail shop?
Is it necessary that a carrier locked phone will have carrier's logo on it?
If you want to see if your device is sim locked at all you should be able to type the following into the dialer.
*#SIMLOCK#

Two distinct variations
One SIM LOCKED = locked to a network
Branded Phone carrys network or sellers branding .
Sim locked are often branded but branded may not be simlocked .

Sure, if you want to downgrade. KE2 is 2.3.3. KI8 (which is what your phone is currently) is 2.3.5.
Erm no
I want to debrand to generic samsung so i get ICS same time the rest of the GSII world gets it
So which one is generic 2.3.5?

Any of the 2.3.5 firmwares in that thread are generic. That is the unbranded firmware thread. But I wouldn't worry about it; official unbranded ICS is likely to be posted in that thread as well.

You may not get an update via Kies in all probability using a stock firmware can result in no matching product on Kies server .
You either wait for Kies update or start updating yourself via stock rom path .
The method is to pick stock rom to match your location .

[Q] Back to stock. Question regarding the version.

Hello everyone.
I decided to get my phone back to absolute stock. I used this method suggested by another member.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2088809
But I got a question regarding the versions.
On my phone it says.
Baseband: I9300CEELL1 (Phone)
Build: I9300XXELL4 (PDA)
CSC: LL2
Although on kies it says: LL4, LL1 and LL2 (KOR). Korean? That's not right.
I took a look at sammobile for my country and provider, but it's completely different.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=10954
Is there something I missed or did wrong?
Any input is appreciated.

Well you installed the ROM and it seems all is fine, whereas it is Korean because of the CSC. Try to change it with CSC changer from market (will format your phone!) maybe?

Good idea.
I'll probably have to flash the one from sammobile via odin.
I doubt I will be able to update trough kies or ota even.
EDIT:
I tried a csc changer, but appearently I have a singlecsc and not a multi csc.
What now?
