Hi,
I have downloaded UAE firmware and now i cant update my phone through kis, i am trying to revert back to a firmware that Kis can recognise.
Since i changed the firmware to UAE, the camera quality went really bad, when i spoke to Samsung, they told me its the firmware and you need to revert back and they are sure the camera quality will be better.
I am currently on
Android 2.3.5
Base version: I9100XXKI4
kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100JPK2-CL655700
Build: GINGERBREAD.JPKJ2
Any idea how Please?
Not sure why you'd want to flash anything to do with Stoke on your phone, but if you mean stock, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

Thanks.
This is a typo, i am not trying to root my device or anything. all i am trying to do is to go back to normal UK version which Kis can understand.
the link you provided talk about rooting etc.
Clean your eyes and try reading it again.

Take it easy man!! I am new here, dont have a lot of knowledge like you , as you can see i have made a mistake and trying to rectify it. the link you provided is full of information but i dont know which one to download.
PS: if you are are going to reply with some useless information then please don't bother
Question what firmware do you want original branded firmware or generic Samsung stock firmware .
From the link posted if you read down you come to .
XWKH4
Android 2.3.4
This package has: PDA: XWKH4| Modem/phone: XXKH3| CSC: XEUKD1
Download: http://www.multiupload.com/WWT5Q0XJAP
Its UK firmware that should update via KIES and is nothing to do with rooting .
Backup before installing and backup your EFS if you have not done so .
jje
Thanks for this.
latest firmware will do
Couple a questions. what does EFS stand for?
Also, the file appear to be an .exe extension. is this something i should worry about.
i though in order to go back to UK firmware i need to install a different Kernel or something like that.
The exe is a self extracting 7zip file which contains the firmware in tar format.

I want to root my sgs 2. Before doing that, i want to dump the currently stock rom so that i will be able to use odin to revert back afterwards if i need to.
How do i do that (no root/busybox/etc installed yet...pure stock)?

Tell us versions and country and carrier.
It will already be posted by Intratech in one of his threads
hei, I need to know the answer too.

Intratech *only* posts official firmware versions, so you should not encounter any problems if you download/save/re-flash the firmware he's uploaded (that matches your original firmware CSC, kernel, etc).
Also, you don't want to mess with the partition when you flash a firmware using Odin. The instructions Intratech has provided are detailed but easy enough to follow for a beginner.

I would like to know this as well because Intratech was not able to find a version of my stock ROM yet.
I would like to know how as well. Would like to "backup" the stock version before rooting with VR as I just got my SGS2 tonight
These are my phone's firmware:
PDA: I9100XWKF1
MODEM/PHONE: I9100DXKF1
CSC: I9100OLBKE5
I saw intratech's thread and there is the stock firmware for XWKF1 but the version for the MODEM and CSC are different from mine. Hope to create an exact backup before rooting.
Appreciate any advice. Thank you.

You can find your firmware on Samfirmware.com. Anyway, this is your stock firmware.
So i take it no one knows how to make a dump of the stock ROM? As i would really like to know how to do this myself as well.
I had a look at Intratech's thread, and found a matching ROM of mine but i don't know which CSC version to get?
Mine says I9100YOGKE1, and there is no CSC there with YOG at all, even under different ROMS.
*confused*
you can use odin to make a dump of your rom, bottom right corner is the dump button.

It's there now.
I used Nandroid from the CWM kernel to backup my ROM. The reason I used the plain CWM kernel is because it would not affect any of the files on my ROM (as it is not pre-rooted like the CF-root kernel so it won't add any symlinks or excutables) and after restoring the backup, I can just flash the original kernel again. By doing that it will be stock again. Oh, and I have a jig to reset the counter.
Hi,
since a couple of hours I own the S2. I already rooted it with odin.
The Kernel is SGS2_XW_NEE_KI4 and it has Android 2.3.4 on it.
As I read there is an update to 2.3.6.
I did find an update file but it says "Android 2.3.6 Open Europe Version i9100XXKL1" so it seems to be another kernel.
Is there an update file for odin for the S2 with my Kernel?
I would really appreciate a little help
Selflezz
No reason why you can't flash XXKL1 2.3.6. This package will contain a kernel which will replace your current kernel anyway. Make sure you keep a record of your current firmware somewhere/memorise it/have it tattooed somewhere on your body.
That way if you ever need to return the phone for warranty service you will be able to find your original firmware in one of Intratech's threads, flash it and then reset the flash counter with a jig so your phone will appear to be as you bought it firmware-wise.

Rather than tattoo it just download the firmware that device came with and stick it safe somewhere.
On every device before any Modding I'll have the device official firmware backup...

You make a good point. But...
How cool would "DUKJ1: Firmware info: PDAUKJ1| PHONEUKJ1| CSC:VAUKJ1" look tattooed on one's chest ?

Hello all, and sorry for my newb-ness!
I was looking around for making my SGS2 "legal" again, flashing it with entirely "old" firmware, but the firmwares i found here, are not fitting the original description i have.
my phone ran (XWKI8 before rooting and flashing new firmware to it)
but the problem is;
[ROMS]Official i9100 carrier branded firmware download for Odin Flash
The only fitting my phone and operator is from the SP (3), where mine is Telia...
I even tried getting the ones from 3, but as the download links doesnt work, im pretty lost, can someone help me?
XWKI8: http://www.multiupload.com/H975DHZQLE

XWKI8 Stock Kernel:http://www.multiupload.com/4O6DVGUGSU
Password: [email protected]
can i just flash either one from "telia" and then update normally via kies, or whats the best solution?
i want the SGS2 so legal that i could turn it in to my provider for service!
or any firmware for Telia
or can anyone link to me to any firmware hardcoded with telia's info?
none of the ones linked in this forum, or others are valid... downloads just doesnt work, HELP

Are you based in Denmark? If so, then this would be the latest Telia fm from that thread. KK5 is newer than KI8.
Yeah... but the download link doesnt work!
and thats my problem, because i CANT find it anywhere
thanks for the reply though, but if you find a working download link for the KK5 it would be much appreciated!

You'd need the stock kernel relating to the rom, I've had no need to service so not sure, if anyone else who has had previous experience on this could help.
thought as much... and all the download links relating to the XWKK5 are busted
think im am going to try this one, until i find a legal one
http://download.chainfire.eu/54/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OXA_KK5-v5.0-CWM5.zip
Try Checkfus. There's a thread on here, search for it.
what should i do with that?
i dont need to check if there is an update, i just want either an older version kernel/firmware from Telia Denmark
which is working, so that i can update the old fashioned way!
or what was you intention with checkfus?
You can download the KI8 firmware with Checkfus. Try it & see

Nope. You can download them. I tried it late last week & downloaded VAUKJ1 for ****s N giggles. The download/decryption of the firmware works perfectly.

what to do if a Odin firmware upgrade hangs?
it hasnt been moving for a few minutes now, still stuck at the <ID:0/005> data.img part
just wait it out, or any other ideas?
can i abort it, and start over with one i know works?
Sadly... checkfus was of no help
but i got my phone running on the XWKK5 firmware, and it works ok!
but still not the best solution, i simply need the KI8 for Telia

Can you give me an example of how to fill out the info in CheckFus?
because its says error every time...
i've tried an exact copy of this:
Firmware info: PDA: XWKK5| Phone: XXKI4| CSC: OXXKJ3
help
In my case, in the standard tab I chose Android/GT-I9100T/Australia (Vodafone), then I clicked on check firmware. Checkfus told me KJ1 was the latest available, I clicked download, waited for it to download the firmware and at the end of the process it automatically decrypted it.
Which gave me a zip containing a tarball (just like the firmware in Intratech's thread) I can flash in Odin if I ever need to go back to stock.
See... I didnt notice if my phone is a regular GTi9100 or a -T, -N or whatever the options are, how do i find such info, because i was so smart not to make a backup of my current settings :-(
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
So... now i came this far:
my phone is:
Baseband :I9100XXKI4
Kernel : I9100XWKK5
so far so good...
but i have trouble appending the predictive and T9 dictionary... are there any addons i can get for these, because i really want to be able to use dictionary in my language (Danish + German and English)
please help
Nvm---
Found the solution (or rather the Firmware)
found an unmodified version, that had multilingual
thanks for ALL the help, greatly appreciated
btw, how to thank ppl in here?

STOCK is SAMSUNG firmware .
If you want 3uk firmware then restore your original saved rom.
Not bothered to save it then CHECKFUS is probably your route to 3uk firmware .

If you as the owner don't know then nobody else will know .
Just guess at a version of 3uk firmware for your location .
Or ask on a 3uk forum what is your firmware .

KI8 is the newest Gingerbread Three ROM apart from the ICS build released today.
I don't have it to upload though, I only have I9100XWKE1 which is a very old build, But if you can't find KI8 Three stock anywhere I'll upload it somewhere for you.
[edit] Infact I have KI8 on my PC if you can't find it online let me know.
Personally though I'd just flash LP7 much better than LPQ that Three have released today & not as much bloatware!
Because I am a really nice person, Don't complain about speeds this was the first link that would let me upload over 300mb

Unzip first & then Flash with Odin3 PDA mode.

Hi guys
Think it's my first post here so please be gentle :silly:
I dont know what firmware to upgrade to (or if i have the latest firmware etc.), i cant dial *#1234# code as it will return a: Connection Problem or Invalid MMI Code. *#06# is working fine though. So i do not know what my CSC, PDA and phone is?
Only thing i can find in "about phone" is:
Device: Samsung Galaxy S III GT-I9300
Android: Android Version 4.1.1
Rom: Latest version of CM10
Baseband Version: I9300XXXLE8

Look on www.sammobile.com/firmware for samsung firmware.Telia is not listed, also not on check fus. So i think you need this rom http://www.hotfile.com/dl/163050326/a3cfdf1/I9300XXBLFB_I9300NEEBLF1_NEE.zip.html for the Nordic countries. Install Triangle Away (here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114) first before flashing the rom with Odin to reset the flash counter. After you flashed the rom do a data/factory reset. Check first if the above rom i mentionedis the right one.
Was reading abit more (do not want to be stucked with a broken phone doing my vacation), found this is the I9300XXBLG6 the newest firmware and does it work for us on Telia in Denmark?

Better check on Telia`s website for the latest firmware. You might flash the rom in your post, however you may have to change the modem for better reception.

If i flash the new firmware again, do i need to root the phone again or does it "keep" the root i made earlier... Sorry for all the stupid questions i'm an old iphone fart. :silly:
I tried to search for a sammy wiki or something to become a little more clever about rooting, rom and firmware.
As i see it:
The firmware is kinda the phone bios, doesnt matter if you running a hacked version of the system or not.
The ROM is the "system" it might be stock or cyanogen etc.
You have to have a hacked firmware to be able root your phone.... Or am i totally wrong here?

If you buy Mobile Odin Pro and flash the firmware with that app you will keep root and you don`t loose no data. If you flash with Odin on your pc you will loose root and your user data will probably be deleted.
The firmware i just linked is it not possible to root using that and odin nonpro? Do i have to use an older firmware then?

Flash it with Odin and root with CF Root 6.4. You can flash that firmware although i wouldn`t do it, it is a British Telecom provider rom. I would flash the rom in the 2nd post (nordic countries) wich i recommended. For instructions see m signature.
