Find your original firmware if you're currently on a different ROM.
OR
Find your original kernel if you didn't change firmware.
Either will be flashed via Odin.

stop panicking, try reading generic stock or 3 uk from intratech thread.
I will just unbrand it and play dumb I guess, thanks mate
**edit** there seems to be older stock 3 firmware in there, perfect will use that!
try asking Intratech in the thread here . he's a nice guy and i'm sure he will help you if he can.

I was on Samsung GT-I9100 / I9100XXK14 / 2.635.7-I9100XXK14 before rooting and flashing custom roms. On 2nd flash I lost all sms and call logs (nothing else) while using Titanium Backup Pro. I also had backed up in Kies. But found out I can't restore from Kies becuz it doesn't recognize custom rom. Purchased TB after I lost original XXK14 firmware due to a botched backup on my part. Can anyone help me get back to my XXK14 firmware temorarily so I cans restore sms and call logs?

Saw this link earlier but the XXK14 download link is broken and I'm not knowledgable as to what other stock roms I can use here in the U.S. on AT&T (not sure that carrier is an issue other than the fact ATT is GSM / HSPA+ 21 Mbps). I'd really appreciate directions to an alternate XXK14 link and/or another compatible GB 2.3.5 stock firmware.
Search Samfirmware.com

I've checked and can't see anything there. Thanks.
Alternatively use Check Fus, Google it.

Here is what you need to do
1. Get Check FUS downloader: LINK
2. Run FUS Select you Carrier / Region / Model and Download the Stock firmware for your phone.
3. Backup anything you need. You will need to wipe the data and the cache from Recovery mode before you flash the downloaded Fware..
4. Use ODIN and Flash the Downloaded Stock Firmware to your phone. You will loose the root access and you should have your stock back. Yeah before Install Wipe data and cache.
Lemme know if that works. If any doubt... just ask. Dont do anything wrong i'll try to help if i know the answer.

Did you try the "firmwares" link??
I have concerns about you flashing your phone if you can't navigate a website... No offense. I'm not trying to be insulting, but it's really easy to find.
Hi guys,
I'm a newbie so please bare with me. I have a Virgin Mobile UK Samsung Galaxy S2 which was on Gingerbread 2.3.4 or 5. I foolishly flashed it yesterday to yes you guessed it, ICS 4.0.3. Now as far as the phone itself is concerned, everything is working pefectly fine. No issues whatsoever except now I've noticed that my carrier has changed to T-Mobile UK even though the phone has full functionality on the Virgin network still? Also I get the "This device cannot download firmware" message now when connected to Kies.
Have I totally ruined my phones chances of downloading any official firmware in the furture now? And how can I correct the display of my carrier? I'm guessing I will have to find a stock ROM from somewhere and re-install. But doesn't that do something to a ROM install counter someware on the phone?
Thank you in advance.

You are fine. Nothing has gone wrong. Use the FUS and get the stock firmware for you phone. Flash it via ODIN... Read the above few posts.
For your Flash counter and Bin counter, You can reset it back to zero. Look for Triangle.apk . TO use that you need to have a rooted device. Super user permissions... so run Triangle while you have rooted device? If not then root it to reset the bin or flash counter ( If you want) or just flash back the stock Fware..
No you havent ruined you phone. You can download all official firmwares. Just wait for the offical ICS for your region.
Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply. So just to clarify... If I re-install the stock firmware there will be no need to root the device and install the program that resets the counters?
Also, I've noticed that Virgin Mobile UK isn't listed under my territory?
Thanks again.

From memory the only CSC that has Virgin UK is the CPW one Carphone Warehouse . Flash that or enter network settings manually .

The link for SAM (Peru) in Intratech's official firmware thread is not multiload, and works.
Alternatively, you can probably find any firmware you want on samfirmware.com, or checkfus.
Does the type of firmware really matter? or will getting the Peru one make a difference in the phone, my phone uses the TTT version so i wanted to get that back, my apologies if i just asked a noobish question but this is my first time at this sort of thing. and also the Sam (peru) link isn't working either.

I honestly don't know what difference there is. Probably just the CSCs, (Country Specific Codes) which may or may not matter for you. Will probably make it so Kies doesn't recognize your phone for update. If you don't use Kies, it probably won't matter. But if you want the TTT version specifically, then, again:

EDIT: sorry, the link on Intratech's thread used to work. I guess it doesn't anymore. However, again, see above quote for alternatives.
Ok i found one on Samfirmware, will try it out, and thanks for the help so far.
Hello guys,
I bought this phone unlocked from a store in Cyprus (not from cytamobile vodafone as stated below). When I came to the UK, as I'm a student) (and inserted an O2 Sim-card) I got asked to update, which I did, but I haven't noticed anything difference and I'm still in 4.0.4. I've seen most of the people (in this forum at least) have upgraded but I still get that there is no update available for me.
So I've downloaded checkfus and the results are in the attachment... So i've searched in the checkfus website (it won't let me link it as my account hasn't got many posts) and I got some weird info and I'm trying to figure out what's going on without any luck.
As you can also see from the attachments here are the info and on the right the country results I get after searching in the checkfus website:
Product Code: GT-I9300MBDCYO (Cyprus (Cytamobile Vodafone))
PDA: I9300XXBLH1 (India, Kazakhstan (Kcell), Serbia (Vip SRB), Ukraine)
Phone: I9300XXLH1 (Kazakhstan (Kcell), Serbia (Vip SRB), Ukraine)
CSC: I9300OXFBLH1 (Serbia (Vip SRB))
So if you check the attachment you will see most of the information about my phone.
Also, please note that I've tried searching the above but haven't found anything useful. If I missed anything that has the answer I'm really sorry for creating a new thread.
Anyone knows what's going on? Is this normal? Should I flash another stock ROM (and which one)? Should I just wait?
Thank you very much for your time and I would really appreciate any helpful reply! If you need any other information please let me know as I really want a taste of the buttery update!

Hello,
Thanks for your reply, but I don't want to start rooting and adding custom ROMs yet, as the stock one (until now) works for me!
My guess is that jb updates haven't rolled out in cyprus yet. As you bought your phone is cyprus, it won't follow the uk schedule.
If you don't mind flashing, just get any official i9300 firmware from sammobile and flash.
As you mentioned you don't want to amend your phone, or the sort, you can just wait for the cyprus jb to roll out?

Well, I don't want to mess around with the phone this early as it's only about 2 months old.
I wouldn't mind waiting but as it's kind of weird that I haven't got it yet! Do you know if it would make any difference if I flashed the UK one?
If I get the UK Universal one (is that the BTU?) and flash it through odin as a PDA will that work? Will that make the flash triangle appear?
Sorry for asking so many questions I'm kind of a newbie and a bit of scared of the flashing process and don't wanna lose the warranty!
