Have a look at the xda bookmarks link in my sig. In there you can find both official and official branded firmwares. Instructions on how to install are in the 1st post of those threads.
Dear Members'
Sorry for the question but what you mean by non ginger bread firmware on galaxy? The firmwares that i am flashing on it via odin are original stock firmwares downlaoded from samfirmware.... and the latest versions so they are gingerbread.As they are original stock they should be accepted by kies and must let kies to check for new firmwares and install if there is a new one.
Could you please enlight me.
The phone was original and boxed as i bought it , and as i sad it was able to update via kies until i flashed it with new ones from smafirmware.

Kies cannot update a phones firmware for a number of reasons in your case KH3 cannot be updated until ||Kies has a later firmware on its server .

Dear Jjegan;
Thank you very much for the answer , but its seems to be like my explanation was incomplete and not detailed.Kies not mentions that there no update for the current version , it just says sometimes this device can not be updated and sometimes just shows the pda\modem\ version and no more info.
Thanks for help
you would basically need to use a older firmware that completely wipes your phone and return to at least 2.3.3. which kies will recognize and use a official branded firmware.
Kies has not sent out an official upgrade to certain countires that will recognize 2.3.4. It is just starting its roll out, I believe by the end of the year kies will recognize 2.3.4.
Dear CosmicBlue
Thanks for contribution but my previous firmware was 2.3.3 which was also downloaded from samfirmware.com and flashed trough odin , and still was giving an error indicating this device cannot updated via kies , and sometimes was showing the version of the csc modem pda and nothing else , so as you explained normaly in 2.3.3 in must say already latest version ....
I need a version where kies finds the phone and says already latest version and update if finds new release , normally i like to flash via odin but after all flashing all data is wiped and tired to configure eveything again ,and dont want to use backup.
Kind Regards.
you would need to go back to an older version of the firmware say an xkf1 and let kies upgrade it to the latest version which i believe officially is xkg5.
Thank you very much CosmicBlue , could you please guide me from where i shall download the official rom samfirmware.com maybe?
Kind Regards.

Hi,
As far as updates from odin go if you update with a Intratech non-wipe higher version of stock ROM (say XXKH3) from a lower version stock ROM (say XXKF3/G5) the data remains intact. I'm running the non-wipe version but did it when I updated from KF3 to KG5 as i had the same misconception. Somewhere in the forum it is discussed if you revert back to an older version of a ROM then you need to factory reset / wipe the data down.
Cheers
Dear Digifort;
Thanks for the contribution , as you mentioned i was running a full Rom also that wipes all the data , i was not aware that there is a non-wipe version , so now i will download a stock Rom from samfirmware a old one , flash with Odin and connect to kies after will look if it will update to current version.
Kind Regards.

First you stop double posting.
Second, you just turn off the phone, hold the power button till the phone shuts down. After that, you hold the HOME + VOLUME UP + POWER button till the Samsung Logo pops up, then release the POWER button.
When you see the Samsung 3e Recovery screen (TEXT IS BLUE), just select WIPE DATA, RESET PHONE, whatever it is called. Then reboot. You are good to go.

HELP
Hello!
I got an upgrade phone from 3 UK, and i want to save the firmware on it. Is there any way to do it?
The reason why i want to save, i've never seen this baseband ver: I9100NEKF2 ...
But i want to update it to a newer (not stock one)
Can i change/ update the baseband to XXKI3 for eg?? without any problem??
I had a Samsung Galaxy S before, and i flashed it via odin, but it had that XXJV.. baseband, and i changed only within the European firmwares.
So the question is, what kind of firmware could the I9100NEKF2 be?? Can i simply install a european firmware on it without taking the risk to brick it??
And can i save somehow the original firmware just in case if anything goes wrong??
Thank you!
I tried that method...
Make sure you read all that thread before flashing...

Hello!
Thanks for the quick answer. Can i flash not carrier branded firmware on the phone, or should i choose the carrier branded one. I mean i want to install some custom rom, such as darky or cm7... Is that possible??
Thank you!
hi guys i have a new sg2 I9100 and yes for the help of xda people and reading some forum,i did it.rooting and install
deodexed rom.
now my problem is How to Flash back to stock.(im stil confuse) =(
these are my question...
1.i need a stock firmware right.but i forgot my stock firmware can i use any firmware?
when i press *#1234# this is what i see.
PDA : I9100XWKJ3
PHONE : I9100XXKI1
CSC : I9100OXXKI2
Build info: tue Oct 25 21:10:44 KST 2011
iknow this is not like that before when i havent root and stal rom.
thats why i dont know which stock firmware i should get.
2.on odin do i need to check the re-partition tab before i start.
right now my "About phone" is
Android version= 2.3.5
Baseband version= I9100XXKI1
Kernel version:
2.6.35.7-I9100XWKJ2-CL676699

thanks. =)
I got same problem, did you get answered?
If your reason to go back to factory condition is because the phone is being returned for warranty purposes, then you need to know what ROM was on it when you got it. Warranty returns should only accept the ROM it was supplied with or official updates of the same ROM. If it was a Orange UK ROM, then they will only accept a Orange UK ROM. Branded ROMs and Samsung (unbranded) Stock ROMs are in the Original Android Development section on here. Also the Custom Counter would have to be reset.
If the reason is just to get back to a Samsung Stock, then go to the Original Android Development section on here and find the ROM that is for your region.

Please read Intratech's Official Firmware thread here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
At least the two first posts are relevant to you.
To check, what Firmware/ROM is officially released by Samsung for your region, you can use Check Fus Downloader from here => http://fus.nanzen.se/.
P.S.: You do not need the repartition option in Odin.
If you want to be sure to have a "clean" stock ROM on your phone, just go into recovery mode (Volume UP + Home + Power) and choose to make a factory reset after flashing the ROM.
Good luck !

Try re-download the firmware with your PC antivirus off. I had trouble with Kaspersky corrupting the download (no warning either, false positive).
Then try flash with Odin again.

Hi,
I wan't to revert my SGS2 back to the original Orange UK firmware. I bought it back in June 2011 and quickly flashed to a custom ROM. I would like to use KIES from now on but it doesnt work on the custom ROMS.
I believe my original firmware was:
PDA : BVKE2
PHONE : BVKE2
CSC: ORAKE2
The download link in the Carrier Firmware thread is dead so does anyone have this firmware to upload??
Also, I assume KIES will once again work when I go back to that stock firmware?
Thanks
James
Hi,

http://www.hotfile.com/dl/153501669/3ba8630/I9100BVLPB_I9100ORALPB_ORA.zip.html

Thanks!!
Working perfectly now.

You will find only the GB official version upto 2.3.6 which you can find on the link below in my signature stock roms...

There is no 2.3.7 for the I9100. Most recent Gingerbread release for this phone was 2.3.6.
You don't need root to flash stock firmwares via Odin, and stock firmware flashes do not increase the counter.
Download from Intratech's official stock firmware thread, or from www.samfirmware.com, and follow the instructions on how to flash via Odin.
