No need to dump just download it from below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
then just root it using CF-root from below using the XENKJ3 file, which you can then place original FW on SD card and flash back at anytime using cwm
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
or just flash a custom rom using odin or once rooted using cwm
Once rooted you just delete all the crap you don't want off the phone.

There is firmware there aswell. Its the "big file" of about 300mb.. Not the small kernel.
I'm sorry...but all i can see is the unsecure kernels and stock kernels but not 'original firmware'. Please advise...i apologise if it's there and i'm just missing it but i've looked.

Ok sorry, ignore my above post i have found orginal...so i do i just flash it back using Odin? Download mode, click PDA, click on the file and then hit start? Also, my phone came with Ke1 so is it ok if i do KE7 orginal?

VNO is a csc file and you would use the csc button in Odin.
you only need to use the csc if you need the network settings for your country.
So what one do I flash to update my phone from its current 2.3.3 firmware to 2.3.4?

Hey happy people out there!
I hope you are doing well. Since January 29th I have got a S2 phone which is almost brilliant. It is worth the money - definitely.
Unfortunately my phone is running on 2.3.4 and there is no update available in Kies.
I would like to update because people say that the battery management is much better on 2.3.5

I was searching the last two days to find the appropriate update but there are so many different types of firmwares that I am not sure which one is the right for my phone. So that I need advice of some professional people.
So thanks in advance and all the best!!

I had XWKE7 (UK), which is 2.3.3 when I bought the phone, and a few months ago, I updated to XXKI3 (Poland), which is 2.3.5.
I am in the US.
So it MAY make a difference, but probably won't.
EDIT: What I meant was, it MAY make a difference what country firmware you flash, but it may not. Some have reported that flashing a firmware that includes modems specific to one country, can result in signal issues if you are in a different country, because some modems are better suited for the particular frequencies in use in specific countries. That said, if you flash a firmware for a different country, then have signal issues, you can just look at the modem thread and flash modems more suited for your country to "fix" your signal issues.

Multiupload has been shut down permanently.
That looks like one of Intratech's "frankenstein" packages. You'll probably not be able to find anywhere that particular package with that combination of PDA, (XXKI4) Modem, (XXKI4) and CSC. (XEUKH2)
However, I9100XWKI4, which has PDA XWKI4, modem XXKI1, and CSC XEUKH2, is available on both samfirmware.com, and skywanker.net.
I don't really understand why wouldn't you just upgrade to the last 2.3.6
XWLA4 that is. You will lose nothing and your phone will run better.
My two cents.
Get it here.

You are WAY overcomplicating things.
Do not use .pit or repartition unless you absolutely have to, and know what you you are doing.
Put the one .tar file in the PDA section, and flash. Done. Use the one victorator linked above. It will work, and is a one file package. (search the linked page for "XWLA4")
If you used a 3 part file before, that's fine. You don't NEED to use a 3 part file again to re-flash. The singular .tar file will contain all the components you need.
EDIT: Actually, above you said:

What do you mean it does not boot? Does it get stuck on the boot screen? Try a full wipe after the flash. You will lose all data, but more often then not, it will boot after this.

You meant CSC, not crc, right?
And take a look at the file name "I9100_XEU_I9100XWKI4_I9100XEUKH2_I9100XXKI1.tar.md5". If you notice, it has "I9100XWKI4" (PDA), "I9100XEUKH2" (CSC), and "I9100XXKI1" (modem) all in the filename.
EDIT: maybe you should just go here.

CSC changer shows only TEN CSC, not NEE... Obviously not a multi CSC thing in this fw..
Ten csc is carrier specific, so it probably just means you will get carrier bloat with it, if that is case then just use your regional csc unless you really want that bloat! And remember changing csc factory reset phone and I think it wipes internal sd too
