I just got a new phone and unfortunately for bell, they only have it as 2.3.3. I can no longer stand the poor battery life so i am thinking about flashing a new rom and kernel.
I am trying to decide between the STOCK ROM AND KERNEL on the following page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
one that i am considering is
DXKL3
Firmware info
PDAXKL3
PHONE: DXKL1
Date: 15/12/2011
Android 2.3.6
MultiCSC Package (GLB, MM1, SIN, SMA, STH, THL, XEV, XME, XSE, XSP, XTC, XTE, XXV): http://www.multiupload.com/AK0TGH6WXX
DXKL3 Stock Kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/PY2EJTIQ2E
Password: [email protected]
unfortunately, non of them has the right CSC for Canada, which should be BMC.
would it make a difference, for instance, if i install a stock rom with a different CSC?
If not, can anyone provide solutions after flashing on how to change the CSC back to BMC?
I have the CSC_I9100MBMCKG2.tar file for Odin. would this work?
Need to clearify the previous post
Just to clearify what is said above. my question is
Would installing a ROM and Kernel with an CSC different from i am living right now have any side effect on my phone? like weak signal or usage issue?
I have a rooted gs2 from bell and never had any issues. All depends on the rom and kernel. I like the criskelo rom with the neak kernel for stability but right now I'm running a ics rom and so far so good.

So the one you are using has a different CSC code then your cell provider's location?
the other download sites?
multiupload.com can not be accessed. is there any other download sites? or can you upload in other sites?
thank you

1. What's the newer ROM that is available for SGS II?
2. What is the diffrent beetween those roms(ZSKF4 and XWKE7)?
3. How do i know if the ROM version fit to my Galaxy S II?
Thank you
You will find all the Official ROM's here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
And all the ROM's you will find here are compatible with GSII.
Regards.
Thank you.
But how do i know what is the diffrent beetween ZSKF4 and XWKE7
and how do i know what is the language of the ROM?

KF4 is after KE7 as in K is 2011 E is a month 7 is build
No change logs published by Samsung .
and how do i know what is the language of the ROM?
By reading the instructions on the first page of that link .
CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.

What is the meaning of ZS or XW?
ZS is Hong Kong.

Region codes.
This helps me a lot.
I ran a google search but i didn't find which is better and what is the diffrent
ZS = Hong Kong
XW = ?
There is something i would prefer?
Can I install any ROM i want? if i have XW version this is possible to install ZS?
You can install any ROM's any time over any ROM. ZS is dedicated for Hong Kong, ZN is China, why should you install them if you are not located in those countries? XW is open region I guess, it's mainly for Europe and some other Asian countries like India and else.

My Region is israel what rom should i pick?
XWKF3 is earlier from ZSKF4

I have found that XXKG6 ROM have the support i need but nothing mentions about JH. This ROM Runs android 2.3.4 i have 2.33 , If I will install the ROM
it will change to 2.3.4?
If you install a 2.3.4 ROM then you will definitely have 2.3.4.
Regards.
After i flashed the ROM, can I just install CSC with odin?
And if i will flash another kernel CSC will be removed right?
Kernel doesn't have anything to do with CSC. I don't the first part of your query though.
1. When flashing while i'm in install mode i always get an error:
cannot access system/csc/dbt/system
this is normal?
2. I have Frankenstein XXKG6 it seen to be great but there is an RTL fix to this build?
if not what is the recommended firmware that support RTL?
Hi All,
My firmware version for the S2 is
PDA: I9100XWKF3
Phone: I9100XXK27
CSC: I9100XEUKD1
Can anyone please tell me if this is the latest firmware?
Any help is appreciated.

Why Kernel has nothing to do with baseband/modem .
You have a Villain rom and your dog lives in Ninphet2.2.1 .
Your modem is KG6 .
Unless you are having reception problems leave it alone .
Or if you need go to dev forum modems posts and flash whatever modem you want .

Ill say leave it, in case it does cause incompatibility issues with the ROM. Generally speaking regardless of the baseband, since do keep in mind, these phones are supposedly globally GSM compatible (except for select few CDMAers). I am using different baseband to Vodafone NZ but no reception issues. I am not 100% if VillianROM still use CSC codes, but essentially on the stock ROMs, CSC provides carrier specific settings. Check your CSC with *#12580*369#.
Mine shows up as
PDA: I9100XXKH3
Phone: I9100XXKH3
CSC: I9100VNZKG1 (the latest from Vodafone NZ) although its not KH3 but KG1.
Hey guys,
I am stupid. I bought my international version i9100 on ebay. I dont know what it is from. After I root it, I lost the kernel. Now, I want to restore everything including the rom, the kernel to factory. What should I do?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it matters where the phone is from as long as you use Odin. If it for any reason wouldn't work you could always reflash it.

As stated above, it shouldn't really matter. On the other hand, if you really want the one for your country you could go to settings -> About phone -> scroll to the bottom...
write model number , android version, baseband version, kernel version and build number here to the forum, and I'll try my best to tell you which one you need

gr4ndm4st3r_bl4ck, I am a little confused. My phone is on android 2.3.4 now and I am looking to update it to 2.3.6, but kies keeps telling me there is no update for my phone. If I can flash a rom from any country, can I just grab a 2.3.6 rom for a country, say Brazil, and flash that rom?
In case you need it, these are the information I can get.
model number: GT-I9100
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: I9100UHKI1
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100CEKI2-CL586309 [email protected] #2

Yes if it does not work flash another one .
CSC and or MODEM can be changed as a separate item .
You flash the country you are in no point flashing China firmware if you are in Spain .

That's the latest UH firmware in Intratech's thread ( 2.3.4 only ), if you want the entire ROM use one of the first 3 links, or if you want only the stock kernel then use the last link there.
Also, you could just ignore that UH ROM and flash the latest XW one ( Europe Standard ) from here :
Code:
XWKK5
Android 2.3.6
This package has: PDA: XWKK5| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: XEUKH2

XWKK5 Stock Kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/HK8G4YGXWJ

After flashing it just set the language to your liking and you'll never notice any difference.
For instance, my S2 came with 2.3.4 Serbia CSC ROM and I flashed the XWKK5 one from above and it works perfect , no need to worry
Edit : PS, Kies will never tell you that a new update is ready , because Samsung didn't make it available on Kies yet, that's why we use Odin instead
Happy flashin

Keep an eye on intratechs thread. The one you were linked to. He posts all the latest stock original carrier firmware so you won't have to wait a month next time.
If you have the I9100 international version you can use nearly any of the latest firmware even if your carrier hasn't released it yet.

I guess you haven't heard? That's because megaupload has been shut down. In most of whatever mysterious posts you're talking about, the later posts in that thread will probably note that the devs whose work was hosted on shut down sites like megaupload are looking for other hosting sites to upload their files to.
You'll have to be patient.
Sounds like we're in the same boat @sout13 :-/
My Swype expired on my current ROM so I am desperate for any valid ROM atm.... as long as it's stable and compatible with South Africa.

just watch out for sammobile.com firmwares. they heve new bootloaders and if you flash these firmwares you then have to flash an old bootloader to reset binary counter and get rid of the yellow triangle.
First - sorry - I know this gets asked all the time, and yes - I have read a large chunk of IntraTech's simply indispensable thread, but... While I am more than happy with the flashing of Roms and Kernels, I can't work out which the best (Firmware/Kernel) one for my phone is
I'm on the i9100, it is an unbranded one from CarPhoneWarehouse (grrrr! ) and they kindly left me with a kernel from the stone age! I have just flashed with I9100XXKL1 from Sam which is touted as an Open Europe 2.3.6, but it turned out to be a branded 2.3.4 - I'd much rather go with one from Intra's site, but it seems like he's still trying to get his stuff back online after the Megaupload disaster.
I will obv. be looking to root the phone, initially just with CF-Root 5.2. Which Kernel is best for me? (Not looking for ICS until the 'official' Samsung one comes out)
CFRoot thread. Use the kernel that corresponds to the "baseband" details in settings/about phone.

i would suggest you root the phone and then flash WANAM"s xwla4 stock and unbranded.
as for the kernel it is a matter of choice and what you need battery or performance.

Just realised that my Baseband (KG4) and Kernel (KG7) now don't match. How much impact will this have, and don't most of the packages normally do both?
Can anyone tell me what the latest Official unbranded Samsung Firmware is for the UK SGII?

Thanks for the reassurance on the modem/kernel matching.
I understand that it is quite painful to answer the same questions over and over, but as I mentioned in the 1st post, I have had a good root through Intra's thread (Stock Firmware) - if that's the one you mean - and I'm still a little unsure which one is best for me, I assume that...
I need a firmware with either XX or XW (UK)
I need one of the 2.3.6 ones (near the bottom of the exhaustive list)
The Firmware will flash both the Baseband and Firmware (PDA and Phone)
I can use any one that matches the UK and 2.3.6 bits
Given all of that, I can see the following that would work for me:
XWKK2, XWKK5, XWKL1 (Official?), XWLA4 (This one as it has no carrier branding?)
That's 4 that I can see that all seem 'correct' - Please can someone either give me the missing piece of the puzzle and tell me what I'm missing, or just say "the latest official firmware for your phone is..."
Please!
So, I put the LPH tar in PDA section of Odin and flash as normal like I would with GB builds?
I will do a full wipe and a back up, but would anyone suggest returning to stock GB first or just go with the flow?
Thanks
XWLA4
Android 2.3.6
There is no carrier branding
This package has: PDA: XWLA4| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: XEUKH2
