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.
Q: Any idea where I can any valid ROM ... even a custom one? Needs to be Gingerbread.
Am currently running:
PDA: I9100 XWKF3
PHONE: I9100 XX KE7
CSC: I9100XEUKD1
Any help will be greatly appreciated

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.

Firmware upgrade Confusion

First off i couldn't find an answer so i created this post so apologies if it is a repeat.
I FINALLY managed to connect my phone to that appalling software known as 'KIES'.
KIES informed me that the following firmware is available for me to upgrade to:
'PDA:KI4/ PHONE:KL1/CSC:KH2 (XEU)'
Could you help me as to where to find this firmware version. if it is official etc. Phone Details below:
Thanks.
I am from Wales,UK and purchased it from Carphone warehouse. Network carrier: Orange.
My Phone details:
android version
2.3.3
Basband Version i9100xxke7
Build number
GINGERBREAD.XWKF3
kernel version
2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555

Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 you can find all the different firmware for the samsung galaxy sII with a tutorial to install it !
Thanks for the link but i already have it. im just unsure of which one i need.
Kies is offering you the correct firmware but you dont want it .
In which case a stock Samsung firmware is required and that means any or to match KI4 from the link .
The CPW KI4 is posted

looking a little more closely and reading a bit more i found these
XWLA4
Android 2.3.6
There is no carrier branding
This package has: PDA: XWLA4| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: XEUKH2
Download: Download
XWLA4 Stock Kernel: Download
Password: [email protected]
are these correct for my UK sg2 ?
Do you know how to reset the jig and remove the yellow triangle? its pointless resetting it back to gingerbread if you dont already know how to do this as the warranty will still be voided and noticable.
try samfirmware.com the links seem to still work for me
i know how to get rid of the yellow triangle and ill research resetting the jig i just needed to know if this rom+kernal were UK compatible i only ask because i thought XX was the only code not XW

Both XX and XW are UK Roms:
XX---> Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, United Kingdom
XW---> Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Nordic, Spain, United Kingdom
As for which Rom you need ... As far as I know the last unbranded version to be released through kies was 2.3.5, I don't think 2.3.6 was ever released. Now I'm not 100% on this as i moved away from kies updates a while ago, so if anyone else knows better then feel free to correct me.
I think the last official kies release was XXKI3 ...
http://androidadvices.com/galaxy-ii-official-235-update-kies/
You can find the ROM here ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23064622&postcount=4
Flash the wipe version which will give you a fresh clean install.
Once you've flashed it, you might want to plug the phone into Kies and double check that it picks it up and it should tell you if that's the latest version or not. If not, then it should prompt you to update to the latest version through Kies.
Hope this helps.
cheers for the fast replies and the info but the links are dead for that rom any other suggestions please
NVR mind found some on samfirmware.com
cheers guys hopefully sorted now
Search Samfirmware.com
And/or download Check Fus.

upgrade to ICS stock

Sorry if this question was asked b4 but I think my situation is a little different but if it is not I beg your pardon and patience :angel:
I am based in Australia and I am with Telstra -- I bought a Galaxy S2 almost 10 months ago from a company based in Singapore on Ebay.
The handset's motherboard fried after one month -- in Australia they could not repair it as it was bought overseas. I returned the handset to Singapore and after 8 months they returned it back to me. It's working now. I won't go in any further details about the ebay transaction which was a nightmare.
Long story short I now have a S2
PDA: I9100XWKI4
PHONE I9100XXKI1
CSC I9100OJCKI1
Android version 2.3.4
Baseband version I9100XXKI1
Kernell version 2.6.35-7-I9100XWKI4-CL575468 [email protected]#2
I have hooked up on Kies which said no update was available. . . perhaps because the CSC is South African I am in Australia?
Given that I am in Australia what's the best way to upgrade to a stock version of ICS?
Thanks in advance :angel:
Flash any ICS you like from intratech thread. Your pohone has no exception i can see

try to search on xda for a stock ICS firmware meant for australia and flash the same and see
You could try Samfirmware.com and get a recent Aussie rom and flash that.
You need to register to download.

Or get the PC version of Checkfus & download the latest Telstra or unbranded AU ICS stock firmware. Flash the package you download with it following the instructions here.

Thx mate -- I was able to find the Telstra ICS and unzipped the file I9100TDVLP4_I9100TTELLP2_I9100TDVLP3_HOME.tar.md5. From the Odin instruction I should have different files up upload. Also Odin 1.85 does not have an OPS window for the One package update. Any help would be appreciated

MistahBungle said:
Flash the tar.md5 in the PDA section of Odin. You don't need the .dll (if there is one). I flashed a Voda stock rom from Checkfus successfully last weekend.
Edit - It takes a while to flash because of the size of the package/telco bloat, so be patient & make sure you let it complete/reboot.

All done -- thx mate -- the Telstra ROM was crap, it has so much stuff I don't need so I went for the unbranded ROM and it's pretty good and stable.

[Q] Illusive Gingerbread ROM and Broken Links...

Hi,
I'm currently on ICS 4.0.4 which annoyingly auto-updated OTA when my phone came back from repair the other day. Since this happened though, Kies no longer recognises the device, so I was wondering whether downgrading back to my stock Gingerbread then re-upgrading from there might help? The problem is that I can't find the rom I need anywhere. SamFirmware doesn't seem to have it and non of the Intratech links that point to Multiupload seem to work?
PDA: I9100XWKF3
PHONE: I9100XXKE7
CSC: I9100XEUKD1
I ended up downloading this one instead:
PDA: I9100XWKI4
PHONE: I9100XXKI1
CSC: I9100XEUKH2
I'm pretty certain the top one was the ROM that came with my unbranded Virgin UK Galaxy S2 though. Now I haven't flashed it yet as I'm getting a little confused when it comes to downloading kernels and bootloaders. Have I got to download those seperately?
Yes, I'm reletivley new here and inexperienced so please refrain from sarchasm or downtalking please. It's help I need and it will be deeply appreciated.
Thanks in advance folks.

An alternative source for S2/3 firmware could be AndroidFirmwares.

Thanks fxrb,,
All the links appear to work too. I spent pretty much all day trying to find some working links so much appreciated.However, I can't seem to find the XWKF3 ROM still though. You think there might be a reason why Intratech hasn't uploaded it perhaps?

need German language rom for SGS2 GT-I9100T please help!!!!

i Have: SGS2 in Arabic
pda I9100TJJKG1
Phone (Modem) I9100TJJKF3
CSC I9100TPCLKG1
android ver.2.3.3
Build number Gingerbread.jjkg1
I need German language rom for the SGS2 GT-I9100T, please tell me where and how i can download file. (link)
The mobile phone is not net/simlock
please help
Thank you very much
Go to settings-input,language-language. And search for Germany language.
All roms have Germany language it writed in description... if not it always be soon for it or sometimes not.
Send form Galaxy S2. But I don't have it :-\
So, in my SGS2 no German language is included, there are a total of close uk, usa, russki, arabic and heb..,
Thank you
Maybe look for "Deutsch", not German, if its still not there:
Go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ search for your model, then download a European ROM and flash it; remember you have 9100"T". For more instructions on flashing roms, search for threads here on xda forum.

GT-i9100 ICS 4.0.3
Thanks Frank,
If I with the specified link the FW Checker seeking out I just get this:
Latest firmware info
GT-I9100T - (Pelephone)
PDA: I9100TJJLPB
CSC: I9100TPCLLPB
Version: 4.0.3
Modified: 2012-10-08
Download: here
I think if I followed the FW downloading then I have no German menu.
Are you ready for me to dig out the correct FW? I myself am afraid that I was wrong downloading and at the end I have sim / Netlock
Thank you
Hmm i searched for your model on sammobile and there are indeed no european versions for it... only israel or australia and some others... maybe an australian one would include german... you could try.
Another idea is that you could flash a normal european GT-i9100 ROM and then flash a modem for your model T, but im no expert, maybe someone else could help you with that. Look for your model in google.
================
GT-i9100 ICS 4.0.3
Thanks Frank,
best we wait, maybe some expert reports here in the forum,
Thanks again
Finally I managed, Odin3 v3.04 + I9100XWLQ2_I9100DBTLPO_DBT of Samfirmware Downloads, at Odin, the TAR file added to the menu PDA, that's it
in the FW's all there, now it's GT-I9100 without T
Thanks to you
