Hi,
I've been passed a UK Samsung Galaxy S2 which has had a Kernel/Rom upgrade. I'm looking at restoring the device back to the UK release Kernel / Rom or has close as possible.
At present the kernel is reporting "[email protected] #4" with the Cyanogen Rom.
Could someone point me in the right direction for kernel/rom.
Under kies i've been told it reported "PDA:KI4 / PHONE:KI1 / CSC:KH2 (XEU)"
Thanks

Earlier in June I received a Galaxy SII that was unbranded, but I had to return it due to a little circle that seemed to be 'burned' into the screen.
Now I finally received my new Galaxy S II but to my great disappointment it's loaded with Vodafone crap, and branded:
PDA:KE5 / PHONE:KE1 / CSC:KE2 (VDF)
I want to replace the branded FW for the official non branded FW and I was wondering how to do that.. I went to this thread but i'm not quite sure which FW i'll need.. Does anyone happen to know?
Use the XEN version of XWKF3 firmware, it's for the Netherlands.
As intratech said flag stock unbranded firmware for your country
You can also try latest 2.3.4 based roms as batista 70, cognition or vilian
Search on the development section
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Thanks for the quick replies, i'm downloading the Kernel and FW now, but before I get to work with that:
how do i backup the complete kernel/fw of my phone as it is right now, in case I ever have to send it in for repairs and don't want to void my warranty?
Will I be able to update future firmwares with KIES or will i have to keep doing it manually once I install the unbranded firmware?
After flashing the XWKF3 XEN firmware on my phone instructions say i need to flash the insecure kernel before i can flash the stock XWKF3 kernel. I was wondering which Chainfire version I have to get. I think it's the KF3 one from this post but I'd like to make very sure before I start doing things.
Then after flashing the Chainfire kf3 kernel I can use Odin in the same way to flash the stock KF3 kernel, correct?
Once all this is done, will KIES recognise my phone and offer me updates when they become available or will i have to keep doing it manually?
Is it possible to backup my current FW/Kernel with Odin so that I can put those back on in case I ever need to return my phone for repairs and don't want to get any trouble with warranty?
Hi guys,
I sent in my Galaxy SII in for repairs and now I got it back with a really old firmware - I think it has now KE3.
Kies won't upgrade because the firmware won't match its server so I have to do it via Odin.
Now, to the question - I found KF3 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
Is this the latest O2 one that I can upgrade to? Or am I better off switching to an non-official KG2 build?
Thanks
Hi all,
My phone (UK - Galaxy S2 - Three mobile network) is currently on PDA:KF4 / PHONE:KF2 / CSC:KF1 (H3G). Kies is saying that no firmware update is available but I see people talking about KE7, is there anyway to get this update?
LOL, you have KF4, KE7 is an older version than yours. Wait for 2.3.4
Regards.
When is 2.3.4 due?
Thanks
Don't know, should be released within this month
You also have the choice of using the unofficial upgrade path as per .

Hello,
I am with AT&T in the US and recently bought the Galaxy S2. My device happens to be a French version. My firmware is
PDA: KG1 / PHONE: KG1 / CSC: KG2 (XEF). It's 2.3.3.
Can I upgrade to the latest EU 2.3.4? If so, which package should I download in the intratech thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278)?
1. Any reason not to upgrade?
2. Will it wipe the phone?
3. Will Kies still recognize the firmware after the update and continues to notify me of future updates based on this newly flashed firmware?
Thank you for helping this newbie out.
Can anyone help?
Hello.
I'm a new owner of a Samsung Galaxy S3 and I need your help.
If I connect my phone to Kies then the folowing text is displayed:
PDA: LF5 / PHONE: LF5 / MODEM: LF2 (VDH).
Then if I go to check the last software for the VDH models, on samsung firmware site, a new version (4.1.1) apears.
My question is why this update does not apear on my phone or on Kies?
I curently have the 4.0.4 firmware on my phone.
Thank you.
Reason
The phone you have has not been updated .
Check with your phone provider or use CHECKFUS to download any firmware and update .
Or download from this Samsung site you claim has your firmware .
