[Q]Link to UHKE2 TTT Stock Firmware - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone have a link to the stock firmware and kernel of UHKE2 (the Trinidad and Tobago version)? I bought this phone factory unlocked and that is the version it came with. It has worked great all around the world. I am selling it to move over to the Note and would like to put the original firmware back on it.
I can't get the links in intratech's thread to work.

Sammobile.com

The ones they have are for Chile. Claro and Telefonica carriers. I have been there already.

In that case, you're probably boned.
Ask in Intratech's thread & might have a copy (unlikely, but worth as shot). You might be able to get the latest (not the original firmware that your phone came with, unless the latest is that) firmware available for your phone/carrier/country with Checkfus (PC version). Do a search for it on here.

I used Checkfus on my phone, but will try it on the PC the next time I am near one.
I guess technically I could use any generic firmware.
The person I am selling the phone to is really not capable of maintaining a customized phone so I need to ensure that they can use Kies to restore to stock when things head south.

[Q] Debrand, Crappy Provider FW

Hello,
Just received my SGS2, and after boot i found a.......pretty bad surprise, the FW in my phone is a provider one, so far "nothing wrong" BUT is crappy as hell, i don't even have google apps on it. And the browser is labeled as "iPortal Mobil".
So i want to have it running Stock Samsung firmware, with no brand, no crappy apps, and no Carrier information.
The current firmware info is:
PDA I9100UHKE2
Phone: I9100UHKE2
CSC: I9100ECOKE1
The phone is a I9100, from Claro Ecuador.
I have searched in SamFirmware, and in the threads for official firmwares:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
And i can find, FW with the same PDA/MODEM, but not the same CSC.
I tried to find my FW in case i need to roll back for warranty purposes, but no luck so far.
I'm gonna call Claro PR, to ask them about this, but i don't expect any help..
The question is:
From the List on Samfirmware, whick FW should i use to de brand my phone, in the America Region, the FW listed are really old, and there is no info about if they are branded or not.
I have read that flashing other region firmwares can bring issues, hence i cannot flash one of those, the most common one being Wi-Fi drivers, is that true?
In a couple posts related, some people say that Claro requires that a "Claro" branded fw is flashed, otherwise the phone will have some issues, anyone who can shed some light in that?
Any help is really appreciated
Hello, my I9100 is from Claro Ecuador, yes its ugly what they made in this Rom but you can use any unbranded oficial Rom, try SamMobile. Im actually using the LP4 from Luxemburg and everithing is working fine. In order to do this you must read about flashing ROMs with ODIN.

[Q] Kies won't update

My s2 came from Samsung service with this firmware:
I9100XWKI4/I9100OXXKI2/I9100XXKI1/I9100XWKI4(ODK)
and the message is Kies can't update it .
1.With my old Galaxy S I have only 3 references (pda/modem and CSC).With S2 I see 4 ref?
2.Why this kies message?
3.I have Vodafone Portugal. This is the last firmware(branded or not)?
Thanks for the help.
Look into www.sammobile.com to see if you're provider has a newer firmware posted or not, to begin with. If there is one, and kies is still screwing around, consider flashing with ODIN. The guides are all there, on the same website. You would not lose warranty if you've updated to your provider's own ROM (even the newer ones).

I seems to be some discrepancy here
Ideally Your Phone should have been Boxed with a branded firmware if you think it is not an international version. As far as Intratech's thread is concerned there is no Branded firmware for Portugal Vodafone. But in FUS Web version there is (Check attached Pic) ..... say if your phone is branded you need to flash a branded firmware but the firmware you have mentioned is on your phone is a generic one which pertains to entire Europe (the XW in front of the PDA version KI4). What i think is that you have an unlocked international phone. I think before flashing anything you need to verify what kind of phone you have better go to service center or get in touch with one of the devs post in Intratech's thread for branded firmware and he'll be able to get you to identify the type of phone you have.

[Q] New S II. Bootloop after flashing theme

I got a new S2. Its GSM from Germany. I tried to flash an ICS Theme. But now i got bootloops. I tried to Wipe everything but it doesnt work. I am able to use Odin or Kies. Can somone help me to bring it back to where it was original. without any theme and no root? i got Odin and Kies installed. Where do i get Stock Rom for 1und1 Germany or Stock German rom and how do i install it?
which is the right firmware to download. i dont get it which one is the right one and which one is the newest to use for german language
i got these information from my rom XXKI4, KJ1
Get carrier-specific firmware here or if your carrier isn't listed in that thread get country-specific firmware here. You could also use Checkfus (do a search on here) to get the latest firmware available for your carrier that you'd normally get via Kies.
thanks a lot, but i dont know which one of the country specific is the newest and right one for me. Can you help me out?
Looks like there's only one available in Intratech's official carrier firmware thread for O2 Germany (XWKI1), Checkfus says KI8 is available for O2 Germany (Dated: 22/11/11) assuming you have a I9100 (check the sticker under your battery to make doubly sure.
I don't know which one is more recent as Intra's firmwares don't have dates on them, but I'm guessing the KI8 available thru Checkfus is more recent as this would also be available via Kies. I don't think it will make a great deal of difference which one you use at the end of the day given you don't seem to know which firmware you had on your phone originally. Either will work just fine with your phone I would imagine, provided you definitely have a I9100 or I9100T
Up to you which one you use.

Help! Return to swedish stock P7510

Hi guys.
I really need to return to swedish stock firmware on my GT-P7510 but I can't find it anywhere. The csc on the original firmware is NSE. Is there anyway to mess with kies to upgrade it to original NSE. Or if someone has tips on how to get swedish stock firmware back I would be extremely grateful.
Best regards, Martin.
Go to samfirmware.com and the Swedish rom should be there?
Will have to be flashed through Odin, if you don't mind a non-Swedish, but official Samsung, check this site:
http://www.teamovercome.net/p7500/?page_id=5 and check section ' Backin’ Up Yer Data & Apps…'
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium HD app
No the firmware isnt available on sammobile. Maybe it would work if igot the csc-files for NSE and then update it OTA? But where do i get those?
I assume the celtic region covers Sweden? Last I checked it was covered under that.
Im currently on an UK-firmware and tyis is not right. The swedish one comes with some swedish bloatware. The uk one i have installed is 3.1. If i could only change the csc to nse instead of xeu as it says now I probably would get the rigt firmware OTA? i remember there was an 3.2 update OTA when i bought the Tab. Am i wrong with my theory, or you think it will work?
Flash a celtic region via Odin.
By celtic you mean?? Because i have flashed the uk/ireland firmware with odin and this doesn't contain the NSE csc.
Does anyone know where to get hold of csc files for either NSE or NEE?
Shouldnt they be included via SIM pack? Most sim's come preloaded with the carrier's APN and such
No. Those files are region codes in the samsung firmware. These files make the update-server decide which fw to send to the phone/tab.

But that shouldn't matter as sooner or later the ICS release will be one general update, It would be like IOS firmware, one general firmware for all regions. Region wise can be determined via IP Address as far as I know. When I had my tab flashed with a malaysian region firmware *Bought it online* as soon as It reached Middle East (where i received it) the update was available via Kies for Middle East update, and not the Asian firmware one.
Then again, why the hassle of kies, Odin for the win. Flashing different regional firmwares since 2007

[Q] Updating i9100 from Gingerbread 2.3.5

I'm entirely new to this so try to bear with me
I recently bought a Galaxy SII from a one day deals store and it arrived running Gingerbread 2.3.5. I want to update to the latest version available for the SII however the OTA update won't connect to the server and Kies (after at least two hours trying to get it to recognise my device) has told me that my current firmware can't be updated. Unless someone knows an obvious fix for Kies I guess I'm stuck with having to flash the new firmware using Odin. I'm using a guide on CNET (unfortunately I can't post links yet) that goes through installing ICS but replacing ICS with Jelly Bean.
The biggest problem is which firmware to get. My CSC code is OXA (Open Europe). Do I have to find firmware that matches that or can I just chose any one that I please then follow the guide that I'm using? I've been looking on SamMobile and there is a lot of different regions to chose from but none of them have the OXA CSC code and I don't know what to do. Also, is there anything I should look out for? I don't want to brick my phone.
Thanks in advance for your help. I'm sure it gets tiresome helping people like me.

There you go OXA It seems open Europe ended at 2.3.5 .. No wonder you can't update.. Anyway Poland's firmware should work just fine. Or just search the firmware of your own region. Do remember to do a factory reset after flashing JellyBean!
Alternately I recommend this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487 Its the latest firmware Samsung has to offer.

Thanks for the speedy reply. I think I understand now. The CSC is really only relevant to your current version. If I flash Jelly Bean from another region the CSC will just change to that region and still work as normal? Does it have any effect whatsoever on the function of the phone?

Yes CSC is bundled with the firmware. Dunno why but every time I flash a firmware it does not come with CSC and I must flash it manually.. Now that's a whole other story. If you plan on flashing a firmware not related to you region e.g you flash a European firmware while you stay in Asia then the CSC is quite pointless as kies won't let you update through it anyway. That said you must have the correct CSC/Firmware/Modem and region to recieve official updates through Kies. If not updating via Odin is good as well .

Well I live in New Zealand and the phone that I have has the European CSC code. The site that I got it from is called 1-day who claim to find the best prices from around the world in order to give ridiculously low prices. I assume that means that my phone came all the way over from Europe. Based on what you say then, I assume then that the CSC wouldn't matter in my case anyway as even stock, my CSC is in the wrong region?

Its OK at most bring it down to Samsung service centre and ask them to update your phone to the latest they have. They should be more then happy to help.

Awesome, thanks for your help. I'm fine with just flashing it with Odin. I was planning to root it anyway. I'm just trying to find out as much as I can before I try.
