You can either get them from samfirmware.com, or look up checkfus.
As for that thread you linked above, a lot of file hosting sites were shut down that many devs on this site use. So you'll have to be patient for them to find new hosting sites.

Thank you!
But for warranty service, I'm forced to install the 2.3.4 fw XWKI4 COA or can I put another, more and 2.3.4?
PS on samfirmaware, there's only Fw 2.3.4 XWKi4 Romania only Vodafone Brand!!!!
My it's no Brand

Again, since the hosting sites many people used to host files are shut down, a LOT of links don't work.
It sounds like you are looking for a carrier branded firmware, but you didn't mention who your carrier is. As far as I know, Cosmote is a major carrier in Romania.
If you are looking for an UNbranded firmware, you may have more luck. Those are more common, and more likely to be hosted on a site that hasn't been shut down yet.

So you're saying your phone is unbranded then, right? Then why were you asking for a Cosmote branded version above?
Anyways, if you're looking for an UNbranded XWKI4, then try this link, it looks like it may still be working.
Found easily by Google.

You don't seem to be getting it.
Does your phone say Cosmote anywhere on it?
Everything you are saying points to that your phone IS NOT COSMOTE BRANDED. Why are you asking for a Cosmote branded ROM?

my phone does not seem to have no icons or other brand of Cosmote, but if I type * # 1234 # csc file I9100XFKE1 me and tells me the same info checkfus
I do one more question: I have a European guarantee, and I have to bring your phone for repair under warranty, to be able to get service, I have fw perforza starting at the time of purchase or I can leave the same version, however, the xwki4 Nobrand ?

CSC is country specific settings. You can flash that separately after you flash the whole firmware I linked above. (which is PDA: XWKI4, and PHONE: XXKI1, but CSC: ENKI1)
But you may not have to flash the CSC.
Intratech had a whole list of the CSC files in his official firmware thread, but like I said before, with multiupload being shut down, you're going to have a hard time finding files that are still hosted somewhere.

I can't answer this; I don't know. Did you flash any non-stock kernels? If you did, then your binary counter increased. You may have to use a USB jig to put the counter back to zero. (please google this if you don't know - there have been hundreds of threads on it)
If the binary counter is 1 or more, they will probably refuse warranty coverage, and will probably then charge you for any service.

This is still pretty hard for me to understand, I'm sorry.
But really, there are no guarantees either way, once you've flashed anything to your phone. The only way to absolutely guarantee warranty service is to not flash anything to your phone, and keep it away from water.
The best you can do if you've flashed anything to your phone, is to flash back to a stock firmware, reset the counter, and hope for the best.

I believe so, yes, or it will have the Cosmote logo affixed somewhere on the phone. But I don't know for sure, because I'm not in Europe, let alone Romania.

Hi,
I have recently flashed my Samsung Galaxy S2 with KE7 update which debranded my phone. Then I searched an O2 branded firmware from this website but after flashing my phone with this firmware, I am having two problems. Firstly, when I insert my sim it not only asks O2 Pay monthly customers but also asks for Tesco customer option which is quite strange. Secondly, I am not able to do any updates from KIES as it gives error message of THIS VERSION OF THE PHONE CANNOT BE UPDATED.
Can some one please help me to find out original O2 branded firmware? or how to solve this problem please?

Why is it strange you have unbranded firmware not belonging to O2 with a CSC that gives as required the O2 networks of which Tesco is a VN .
But as the man said stock O2 is available if you want to go that route .

Dude you seriously need to learn to use the quote function. It's kind of hard to figure out were the poster you are replying to post ends and your response begins.
@OP: You will have option for O2 PREPAY, O2 POST PAY and TESCO. This is normal since Tesco mobile piggy back on the O2 network, Just select O2 PostPay if you're on a contract.

Thanks for the quick response ... I was confused because previously I only had two options: O2 Pay Monthly customer, O2 Pay As you Go. I got worried because of this Tesco options as I was afraid that it may void my warranty.
Secondly, I am not able to update this version from KIES. Is it because of the current firmware version or is it because there is no update available? My phone's firmware details are as follows:
PDA: I9100XXKE7
CSC: I9100O2UKG2

There may just not be any firmware update out, 3UK was still on KE2 till not very long ago (not that i was on stock for more than 10min).
If you want to you can just flash a stock rom via odin, you dont need to change your CSC to a new one. (its just APN settings, and any silly bundles apps)

No, bad idea, thats going backwards.

The exe is a self extracting archive if you had read the thread, you click it and it will extract to where you want it to.
Do some more reading about version numbers.
When flashing via odin CSC is just a part of the rom you might put into odin, as it says in the thread.

Yes you are right it is going backwards but my only motive behind this is to bring my mobile into a very simple way of updating via KIES. May be after coming to KE2 version, KIES might update it to any latest update for O2. Please advise.
Hi again,
Just wanted to share an update of my problem. I just flashed my mobile with a backward firmware of KE2 from KE7 and thought it will help to update my firmware with Kies but there is the same message displaying again, 'This version of the device cannot be updated'. :s I need help to resolve this problem as I want to send my mobile for warranty claim coz it restarts sometimes while using it and also its overheated when I use it while charging. I am worried that having a different firmware than the original one may create problem for warranty claim. ANY SOLUTION PLEASE??

Hi again,
I have some good news. I flashed my mobile with KE2 and had the same problem with KIES as it gave me same message, 'this device version cannot be updated' but when I tried update firmware from mobile setting options it detected a newer available version and so it installed KE7 version and after restart it gave me a message of additional firmware which I confirmed and now I have XWKF3 installed in my mobile. Which is a big relief now.
P.S Kies still shows the same message, 'This mobile version cannot be updated'.

looking at a near new GS2 here in the UK
How do I ID a true sim free GS2 vs just an unlocked one?
You probably can't if it's been correctly flashed to a generic ROM (which is what I presume you mean by unlocked), but if it hasn't, you can type *#1234# into the dialer and check the CSC.
whats the "CSC"?
CSC = country specific settings network settings etc .
Original Product code Original seller may give you a slight clue .
But network provider sell both locked and unlocked phones .
IMEI checking may give a slight clue as to country of origin

Is getting a simfree/non-locked phone from carrier SAME as getting a phone from retail shop?
Is it necessary that a carrier locked phone will have carrier's logo on it?
If you want to see if your device is sim locked at all you should be able to type the following into the dialer.
*#SIMLOCK#

Sure, if you want to downgrade. KE2 is 2.3.3. KI8 (which is what your phone is currently) is 2.3.5.
Erm no
I want to debrand to generic samsung so i get ICS same time the rest of the GSII world gets it
So which one is generic 2.3.5?

Any of the 2.3.5 firmwares in that thread are generic. That is the unbranded firmware thread. But I wouldn't worry about it; official unbranded ICS is likely to be posted in that thread as well.

You may not get an update via Kies in all probability using a stock firmware can result in no matching product on Kies server .
You either wait for Kies update or start updating yourself via stock rom path .
The method is to pick stock rom to match your location .

Hello, I would like to know if there's someone that has the carrier branded ROM for Movistar (Peru). My galaxy's vibrator stopped working so I need to claim its warranty.
I know Infratech might get it, but since I have less than 10 posts I can't ask for it in the Original Development Forum where his "carrier branded roms" post is located...
But if anyone got it please let me know,
Thanks in advance.
Also, after rebranding the phone and using the jig to reset the custom firmware counter the phone should be ready to take if back the dealer right?

You should be able to use the one from Argentina (UHKG7) just fine. Looks like it's the same version as the latest one for Peru.
Carrier branded firmware here & country specific non-branded firmware here, or if you're after the latest firmware for your carrier/phone/country try Checkfus (search for it on here).
Thanks MistahBungle, but the one I'm looking for is not listed there, and I cannot request it there because I still have less than 10 posts, I'll try to get to it without making nonsense posts.

I think my phone actually came with KE5, and I think there was no Kies update ever for my Carrier-Country combination, so wouldn't that be a problem and let them know I have been flashing it?

In that case, use the one from Columbia, which is UHKE5. It's also the closest listed country for Movistar to Peru geographically anyways, so it's probably from the same batch.

Cool, I tried with checkfus and found there's a newer firmware,
This is how I got my phone:
Product Code: GT-I9100LKLSAM
Phone Version: I9100UHKE3
PDA Version: I9100UHKE5
CSC Version: I9100SAMKE2
and it says the latest firmware for SAM is:
PDA: I9100UHKG7
CSC: I9100SAMKG1
Phone: I9100UHKG4
I can't download CheckFus to download it because the sites tells me that no hotlinking is permitted and keeps sending me back to the homepage, so I'll search for CheckFus elsewere and try to get that firmware.
Ok, it is downloading right now, thanks for your help, after it finishes I'll flash it and use the jig to reset the counter, as far as I know it will be ready to take it back,
Any recomendations for making a backup of my phone as it is right now? Thanks again.

A Nandroid. But I think you'd need to root it again to do so.
Hello RaulGuichard,
Please could you post the site where you find the firmware. I'm looking for it but no lucky.
hi, i flashed newest cm10 nightly and want go back to my stock because of warranty issues. but there a so many stock roms and i didn't know the one i've to pick because i don't know which firmware was originally on my phone. galaxy s iii (I9300) is from germany. which one should i pick?
thanks
Was your phone network locked if so you will need to find the latest ics build for Germany and flash via Odin and uroot if you are sending back for warranty.
If your device was unlocked you can flash the latest unbranded sw.

thanks for your answer.
i don't think that it was network locked. can you give me a link to the correct rom?
what would happen if the phone was locked and i flash the latest unbranded sw?
thx a lot
Use CHECKFUS to download the firmware and flash via Odin .

All the latest stock roms are at the beginning of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
If your phone is network locked you will need to search elsewhere for your career specific version. These are unbranded roms just ensure you change the cschool to your correct region. Apparently it does not void warranty if you sent your device back with a stock unbranded Rom but you will be doing so at you own risk. You will also need to check that your flashcounter is set to 0 (search xda for full tutorials regarding this) all of the above is what I have found but may not be the full instructions follow so therefore please do your research first. I cannot be held responsible for anything that may go wrong. I hope I have been of some help.

My apologies that should be ''csc''. I wrote that post from my phone and did not notice that predictive text must have changed that.
If you go to http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9300 and find the last DBT release (CSC for Germany) and download that.
Please bare in mind that DBT is the unbranded csc if your device was originally carrier locked you may need to flash that for example the csc for t-mobile germany is DTM.
If you hover the mouse over each csc on this page it will tell you the country and carrier
so i think i've found the basefirmware:
GT-I9300RWDDBT
but i don't find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610

sammobile.com... You need to be registered on their site then use the search function. Enter "I9300" and you should get a list of all the firmware versions...
now i've a serious problem:
i flashed I9300XXDLIH I9300DBTDLI2 an odin said all is correct. now i stuck at the samsung logo in the boot process. someone an idea?
^^no one an idea? what should i do? because flashing with the toolkit only works when booted in android. or not?
Flash CF root boot to recovery .
Mounts and storage format sd card data cache system .
Boot to download mode flash rom via Odin factory reset .
