My phone is not rooted but was unlocked and used a guide off here to unbrand it which i did it has 2.3.4 on but it seems there's been a update to 2,3,5 and i haven't had it, could this be down to flashing a stock UK sim free image. I cant remember if ive had a update with this configuration i may of done but it seems weird i haven't received this update.

Consult this thread for ALL Samsung firmwares available for the SGSII.
Consult this thread for carrier branded firmwares.
You may, or currently may not have an upgrade for your region/carrier/etc....
Consult Galaxy S II General to see what firmware people are buzzing about currently.

Follow the instructions on the first pages .
If KE3 is 2.3.3 then that's what you get .
Update no that depends upon your phones codes matching codes on the Kies server .
You get a 2.3.5 stock rom from the posted link for stock roms ..
You need to read and understand before flashing .

hello guys
i am new to android OS...that means a n00b... but i have successfully root my phone with this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
currently Kies gives me this info:
Current firmware version: PDA:KE2 / PHONE:KE2 / CSC:KD1 (VNO)
Baseband ver: I9100UHKE2
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE2-CL187606 [email protected] #2
Android ver: 2.3.3
Build number: GINGERBREAD.UHKE2
what i would like to do now is to update to the latest firmware is that possible?
thanks
Hi,
If Kies shows no update, you'll have to go the route of manually updating via Odin.
This guide shows you how, don't make the mistake I did of downloading the kernel only tar file - you need the big file around 250/260 MB.

Hi DM-Man,
As far as I know there is no official update for any Chilean device.
The only way to enjoy other versions is as already said to "manually" change via odin.
The "Chile thread" can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104410

You can always update through Odin and get the latest software from e.g. Intratech's ROM thread. Carriers usually do not update that frequently and you may be stuck a long time to a version.
If you want to use the Chilean CSC then you have either the old seldom updateable official ROM option or you have an always manually updateable "Frankenstein" ROM option.

Umm , judging by what I'm seeing , I suppose you only ran the "Check for updates" thingy in the Settings ? It only checks if there are any updates available, you have to do the actual updating via PC with an application called Kies. Get it from Samsung official website and follow instructions to get the updates, if any.
Edit : ... or by using Kies Air, but that's something else.

I need some help can some one please post a link for me to be able to install a stock rom using Odin.
The reason is I used Odin to install ICS on the phone but as it installed I lost root and cant get it back so I am hoping if I can use Odin to install a stock rom I can then root again and be a happy user again.
Many Thanks

If you've installed ICS in odin, you should know how to flash back to gingerbread.

You DO have an I9100, right? Not an I9100G?
Sounds like you have a bootloop after attempting flashing with the bottom two firmwares you have listed. Have you tried a full wipe/factory reset? (See here.)
GT-i9100
I just checked I have an GT-i9100 i do rember that when i ran those mods it does give me a chance to wipe cache so I will give that a go and see what happens thanks

Not kernel,What stock ROM/Firmware do you want??
If you only want the stock kernel then you will need to give us the original firmware you have on your phone.
unable to locate stock rom
I have recently purchased an sgs2 (actually came to my senses and swapped it for a blackberry) and have been scouring the forum for information on how to restore the rom to stock so I have a base to start from. I am new to Android so excuse my ignorance on this. If I do a *#1234# I get the following:

I am based in South Africa and can use the phone as normal but it does currently seem to be a bit unstable and the Market Place crashes fairly regularly on the phone. My carrier is Vodacom South Africa and from research the ROM I have on the phone is a generic for Europe (not sure if this is relevant).
In Kies, there is a message that says updates cannot be done using KIES.
I have tried download the stock ROM from the links on the forum but multiupload.com seems to be down or has very high congestion.
HELP PLEASE!!!

The real question I have is which is the correct ROM to download? There is such a lot of information that I am totally confused now.
On all the posts I've seen so far the one to download for South Africa could be many different versions. What is the relevance of this information?
XWKI4

Android 2.3.4
What information do I use to determine the correct version of file to download. I am completely confused by the mass of information available, especially considering my phone is currently running what I assume to be XXKI3 which is non south african.
Could it be that my phone was originally purchased in Europe? If thisd is so should I be installing a version of ROM for that region or will any region do?
Bazilla said:

What firmware was on the phone originally or what firmware do you want .

Who knows ???
CSC: I910OXAKI3 but that reads as Polish CSC from memory .
Its normal to download the firmware for the location the phone is being used in .
Its also usual to download the latest version .
Its the CSC that gives local network details and the baseband /modem that may be changed if poor reception .
XILA2
Android 2.3.6
This package has: PDA: XILA2| Modem/phone: XXKL1| CSC: XEUKH2
Latest posted for the UK .
I would flash that enter network settings if needed manually .
CSC or modem can be changed later .
Note multiupload is closed down for good you will need a Google search or Sammobile .com for firmware .

This is a South African Firmware and although its 2.3.4 it contains the regional info (CSC) that you need to make it stable.Dont forget to do a factory reset after flashing.

Stock firmware in the stock rom thread you looked ??
or via CHECKFUS .

HOLD up you will not get stock ICS with a GB baseband .You can alwzys flash the modem yourself if GB modems work on ICS .
Or are you confused regarding what baseband is ???

JJEgan, checkfus cannot find me any firmware...product code displays "not activated"
Sammobile has nothing for my carrier, only for other carriers in my country...but I guess those would not work for my phone would they?
Indeed I might be confused about what baseband is, I edited the title of this thread in consequence.
Thanks ZACQ8, but I understand well I need to find the firmware file before I can flash it with CWM...my carrier hasn't made ICS available , so I don't how to do?
have you tried forums in your country ?
