I am looking into getting a newer version of Android om my SGS II, and so I wondered what the differences between different "providers" were, and if my binary counter would be affected from flashing it.
I have this installed:
PDA: I9100XWKI4
Phone: I9100XXKI1
CSC: I9100DBTKH1
That means that I somehow got a hold of a Debitel phone (Germany), even though I bought it from a company that sells electronics. Debitel never updated SGS II to 2.3.5/2.3.6.
I would like to install a "Open Europe" official ROM. Will this affect my binary counter? How can i flash it? The full file name of the file is: I9100XXKL1_I9100OXAKL1_OXA.rar
I would NOT like to root, nor to lose my warranty in any way.
Thank you
Each branded rom is geared toward what the provider needs WITH SETTINGS SOFTWARE ETC packed in there.
Standard rom more to the point none branded is a rom with just the Andriod and samsung gear packed in there and is updated quicker than the branded roms.
If you look in the firmware section you can see and may understand much better.
All the question your asking has already been post please go to the section of the forum and read this saves bandwith here. Look in Q & A or use search button..
Flashing etc...
The phone itself is not branded, but somehow the CSC is. Can I flash an Open Europe one and keep my warranty?

You can do anything to the fone and keep its warranty my friend. You can even fire rounds at it with a AK47...LOL
Now the main thing is you understand what your doing when rooting, changing roms etc. changing case.
Just follow the details to the letter on flashing, backing up, installing drivers etc and you'll be fine. Lets say you fine a open rom or any rom come to that which does not have a CSC you want you can still flash the rom and flash the CSC there afterward.. The only other non standard thing you'll need is a USB Jig. to reset your count.. ebay..

Because when I check my CSC version, it's branded with DEB in it, which is the german provider Debitel. (I do not live in germany, I ordered my phone from a french company)
I live in Denmark.
Thats not saying its an open whatever just a multi CSC covering more than one country .

Before I continue I just want to say that I have looked around, used the search button, but haven't found anything that will solve my problem.
So I was fairly unpleased with the custom rom I had flashed on my Sgs2 and wanted to flash my stock firmware (2.3.3 XWKE2) and so I went into the official thread for firmwares.
At first I tried out a 2.3.4 stock firmware, but kies would'nt let me update so then I continued looking and found a stock firmware that matched the one my phone originally had (android version 2.3.3 XWKE7)
I checked the codes and downloaded the NEE one since I live in Sweden. Flashed it with no problems but then when I went on Kies to try and update again I got "Your unit doesn't support updates through Kies"
It then also said: I9100XWKE2/1910OXXKE2/I9100XXKDJ/I9100XWKE2 (KOR)
Why did it say KOR? I thought I had downloaded the Swedish/Nordic firmware?
Can someone help me flash the real original firmware for my phone so I can update through Kies?
And your posting this in the dev forum because...?

Well, KE2 clearly isn't KE7, so it's doubtful that you flashed your original firmware.
This is stock Nordic KE2, taken from this thread.
If all you want is stock firmware, install this then connect to Kies and it should update to the latest Nordic firmware. Then back it up!! I'm in Norway, can't remember what is the most recent version, been on custom ROMs for a long, long time... Lykke til.
What custom ROM did you try, and why didn't you like it?

But my phone originally had the KE2 on it when I bought it. Couldn't wait for the Swedish release for KE7 and began flashing custom firmwares.
That is the exact link that I downloaded, from that exact forum. That's why I find it weird that Kies doesn't recognize it.
The custom ROM I tried was a leaked version of 2.3.5 from Frankenstein. I was about to download and flash another ROM but every time I asked for someone's suggestion they would always say the taste differs from person to person. I then responded that I just want a high performance and quick ROM, and never got an answer so that is why I wanted to flash to an original Firmware from Kies.
You ask 10 people which rom they consider good and you will get 10 answers, some of the most popular being:
Hyperdroid (personal fav): great base, great kernel, OTA app for mods/updates
Villanrom: Older base, very stable, some limitation of available mods due to the older base
Checkrom: Never been my cup of tea but people seem to like it, it has the kitchen app for mods
That is the exact link that I downloaded, from that exact forum. That's why I find it weird that Kies doesn't recognize it.
Flashing firmware means somewhere you changed codes and KIES dies not recognize .
A removal of KIES plus all registry entries may solve the issue .

Do you mean uninstalling it completely and re-installing it?
I'll try that and see if it works.
You need to have a "stock" combo of stock firmware, aka a modem, "PDA" (kernel+rom) and csc that where shipped together, otherwise KIES wont recognise it.
I tried uninstalling and re-installing it but it didn't work. Still get the "Your unit doesn't support programupdating through Kies" message.

Was it a file with one big .tar in it? if so thats everything.
Why do you want to update with KIES? Just use odin to flash a KIES release, there all in that thread, and its counterpart with the carrier branded firmwares.
Note, kies wont be able to updates "frankenstein" releases which are mix/match.

Yes it was a big .tar file!
I really don't know how to explain it. I love this phone, and want to get the most out of it (custom roms, overclock, root) but I'm not that good with all of these different concepts and there is always that fear of bricking the phone.
Also I go to college right now, and am a bit behind so I really don't have time to go through the xda forums on a daily/weekly basis, so I thought that when the new firmwares (mainly a official/perfected version of the ICS) updates are available I could just log on to Kies and update them while saving my self some time.

KIES is pretty crap and does this all the time, I have never had an update though KIES so im out of ideas

Nope, did not pick a mix/matched one from what I know. I'm gonna try one of the firmwares from the previous link you sent me. If it doesn't work there then I'll just continue flashing through Odin.

and steps i need to take to prep for a warranty return (I tried searching but im not good at processing large amounts of information so ended up no where). Linking will be fine if you cant be bothered.
What preps ???
Requirments are no root and no custom rom and rom counter at zero .
= flash your original rom or stock rom to remove root .
I also have other questions such as, when they return the device do i lose ROOT and such? Will they flash an unrootable/unexploitable ROM?
If you have root on returning your warranty is void .
They will flash a standard stock rom .

And that is easily fixed by flashing the latest UK ROM (doesn't increase counter) and changing the CSC code to your region (BTU), App on the appstore and requires no root.
So basically yeah it will work 100%.
I was on the verge of keeping this phone, but I just bought a new Three UK monthly rolling sim today and I am getting download speeds of around 100Kbps and poor vice call quality. I don't know whether that is just Three but the data is way too slow. Could this be because of the modem software on board?

Skander, could you point me to those things please? Would changing the CSC do anything to help me? Whilst that may not reque root, I guess flashing a UK rom would, right?

Yes it could be the modem. Here is a full modem list:

You flash them with odin. Make sure to get 4.1.1 modems if you have updated to JB. The csc includes things like apps from three, and won't effect your download speeds.
I would recommend watching the youtube video on this thread:

Ugh, confusing. So, grab the 4.1.1 package download and flash that? Thigh the thread doesn't say, it should contain some Three stuff?
I'm on the verge of just returning the Polish phone and having the seller mail a UK handset or refund entirely rather than messing rand.
Thanks for the tips.

Have you noticed the "Roll up sticky thread" in the general forum? The noob friendly flashing guide is a great place to start.
The csc is not needed at all, and most would be happier without it.
There is no hardware difference between a polish and british handset. A few hours to get used to flashing and you can get a fine working S3. This includes JB, ICS, polish csc, british csc, modems etc exactly to your tastes.
I had rooted and flashed before with my S and S2, but kinda wanted to start my S3 life in its virgin state.
Though I had been attributing the horribly poor call quality on my S2 to my network this year, it may even be down to whatever I've flashed on to it.

Hi all. I would like to keep my stock firmware up to date on my rooted S3, but have a few questions about this. From what I can tell the easiest way to do this seems to be by downloading the newest firmware (say from SamMobile) and using Odin to push it to the phone (since I can't use OTA updates and Kies refuses to connect to my phone). What confuses me about the stock firmware for this phone are the different country/carrier codes. Do I need to be concerned with using one from a different country than me (I'm in the US), or are they just generic firmwares that can be used by any country? SamMobile shows a bunch of new firmwares for the S3 released in February but they all have different country/carriers, what's the point of this? Currently my phone is running baseband version I9300XXELL4 which doesn't seem to coincide with the US, which I guess is also part of what is confusing me.
Thanks for your help!

I'm trying to reset my phone to stock latest english BTU firmware and the phone is booting in a continual loop at the logo.
I know this is something dumb, I've had this issue before – it's my own fault, I just can't recall how to fix it.
I had CWM Touch 6.0.0.29 (?) I think and CM10.1 on the phone.
I've flashed to the latest rom here.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9300&pcode=BTU#firmware
It's looping.
IIRC last time, I just needed to re-flash a compromised kernel (?) on the phone to fix it, I am now re-flashing CWM Touch 6.0.0.31 over the top of that BTU ROM (I9300XXEMC2_I9300OXAEMC2_BTU.zip) but no luck!
What am I doing wrong, I'm 99.98% sure the phone is rescuable because I can comfortably boot back into the recovery menu each time.
