Stock GS2 Rom for australia (optus) wanted - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys
Purchase a new galaxy nexus and so have now got the galaxy s 2 for sale.
Just wondering if there is a stock rom for the optus australia galaxy nexus available on here, (or any stock rom) that will work and can be flashed back via odin.
I tried to emergency recover the phone via kies to go back to oem however keeps giving me a "current mode not supported error".
Cheers,
Dave

Have you tried searching? Stock carrier ROMs are all in the Original Android Development section. Specifically in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
Scroll down until Optus.

Thanks sleeycat, did a search and found the thread shortly after
downloading the firmware now!

[Q] No available update on kies (even though i should have!)

Hi all, I'm new to posting here but a vet over at samdroid.
I've looked around quite a bit and my problem seems to be unique...annoyingly.
I got my S2 on contract from O2 about 4 days ago, instantly went home and found out I was eligible to upgrade to ICS officially via kies. I have been on kies and connected my phone every day since, and I keep getting told I have the latest version (2.3.5), even though I've seen countless threads/comments of people delighted about the fact they upgraded through kies!
I was thinking of trying odin (i was a pro at updating roms on my spica), but don't know if using an offical update through odin instead of kies would void my warranty etc. NOTE: I don't want to actually root my phone (yet)
I hope that all made sense and any help would be much appreciated
Thanks,
Oli

make sure you got i9100 not any other varient
does other O2 in your area got ICS via KIES
odin is fine and will not void warrenty aslong you dont root and flash back the ROM you have now. you have to find this ROM first if you want to go back.

well o2 have officially released updates in the UK, if thats what you mean? will there be a thread on this forum with the offical ICS ROM or will i have to find it via google?
I got my S II on monday from o2 and I beleive its the I9100p not the I9100, if yours has NFC written on the back its the I9100p and for some reason there is no ICS on kies yet for it

what do you mean by this?
also is there an official rom for my particular S2 that can be updated using odin? or even an unofficial one that wont void warranty?
thanks for all the help guys
This Thread has instructions and official ICS.
Plz note that this is official and will have TouchWiz and does look extremely similar to Gingerbread and without root and custom theme you will not get that ICS feel. You will however get most of the goodies that ICS has to offer.
I got my S2 on contract from O2 about 4 days ago, instantly went home and found out I was eligible to upgrade to ICS officially via kies.
Well that's not exactly true you upgrade if their is an upgrade for your exact phone .
Kies has firmware for GT-i9100KAO2U product code .
I have been on kies and connected my phone every day since, and I keep getting told I have the latest version (2.3.5), even though I've seen countless threads/comments of people delighted about the fact they upgraded through kies!
But not for your phones product code which obviously does not match the released O2 firmware .O2 may well and probably over twelve months had more than one phone for sale unless contract has different codes to PAYG .
Standard older O2 UK firmware for xxx Product codes is on Kies its also on this forum in a legitimate flash via Odin .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
legitimate O2 firmware not stock Samsung tested and works on O2 .
Or you can go to Google find CHECKFUS and try to download from your codes .

you still didnt confirm if you have i9100P which i think you have but i could'nt find the Stock ROM your running now, so you can go back to it later if required.
if you have i9100P this thread has good news for you though the actuall thread is stupid and useless...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24030713
i think what happened to u is you got the model which is i9100P not the usuall i9100, thus all on normal model are on ICS and you still on GB. you can wait for it to come or use the i9100 ROM's but please search if that is actually possible.

so which one there should i use? and can someone remind me if "flashing" just means updating (it's been ages since i used odin and stuff so i've forgotten a lot of the terms.)
thanks

i read somewhere that i can use i9100 firmwares on my i9100P, so which of those 2 links would you recommend? also, is there a lot of risk or is it pretty easy and you're just covering yourself?
finally, if i update like this, will i be able to update officially through kies when the update is finally released for me?
no im not covering my self...... i tell you in points....
1: you got I9100P on O2 for which i cant find a firmware for.
2: because you cant go back to your old firmware which is O2 you will get into warrenty problems

ok, i guess i'll wait for the official update then. thanks for your help
here are your options if you still want to continue.
1: you can flash stock firmware for i9100.
2: you can flash custom firmware
3: you can flash O2 branded firmware for i9100.
but in all cases NFC wont work by default.
plus now you cant go back to O2 i9100P firmware as it cannot be found anywhere... atleast by me.

Not Received Any OTA/Kies Updates (Three H3G)

Hey all, i was just searching around multiple forums and can't really find anything
As the title states, i haven't yet received neither off the 2 updates that have been released recently, has any one else on Three UK got these?
Thanks for your time
Don't bother waiting. Just download the latest UK rom on these forums or using checkfus and flash via odin.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy SIII via Tapatalk
I have flashed the three UK rom twice now
build: I9300XXALE8
i have been thinking about flashing the new firmware via odin but i don't want to go through the trouble of flashing the stock three rom via odin in case something goes wrong :/
have you any idea if there will be official releases of the firmware via three?

[REQUEST] Samsung Galaxy Pocket GT S-5300 (L Variant) ROM

Hello everybody, I recently tried a few ROMS for my new Samsung Galaxy Pocket GT-S5300L, the variant for Latin America with 1900 3G frequency-.
The problem is that I thought I could restore from a backup I made from the original firmware, but it was useless, it always ended up with an error.
I also tried to download and initialize the phone via Samsung Kies but it is not available for my phone model.
SamMobile doesn't have this model on their site.
The Stock Firmware available around on the Internet (XXLF5) via Odin always ends with a "Nand Write" error, even with the right PIT file.
So given these reasons, I would love if anybody could either upload and share the Stock Firmware for the S5300L or somebody could create a CWM with the stock ROM.
Thank you guys, I know this community is always helping eacohther! :good:

Rooting your phone doesn't change your firmware.. You're still on the stock firmware unless you flashed a new rom. Goto settings>about device> and see your build.. Then goto Sammobile and downlaod the rom that is listed for Panama and matches your carrier or build whichever. Download it and flash it rom via Odin and you'll be unrooted.
though i don't see any point in unrooting. Rooted is always better.

Samsung S3 - Stock ROM, help please :)

Hi guys, sorry to post another question but this forum has been very valuable for me in my job! thanks for that.
I currently have received a phone to fix, samsung galaxy III. GT-I9300, UK
I'm only familar with tablets really, this is the first time i have looked at a samsung phone!
I currently have the following
Phone booted into Download/Odin mode
Odin opened, Phone is detected! (needed a new cable but so far so good)
Can someone guide me to a link to the official stock firmware for this phone? i'm looking but there seems to be so many differerent types from different regions with different networks! 02/T-mobile etc, confusing :'(
I can't use anything custom as this is a business phone, thanks for any help!
I have absolutely no idea which to get!.
many thanks
Go to sammobile.com
Not sure who your network provide is but The link below is for Tmobile UK.
If that's not the one for you're model, just do a country search.
Downloading is very slow, might take an hour or two.
Sorry link removed.
Sign up on Sam mobile or try searching for latest official update for GT I9300 on Google with UK baseband
I am sure u can find all that u need
