Not kernel,What stock ROM/Firmware do you want??
If you only want the stock kernel then you will need to give us the original firmware you have on your phone.

unable to locate stock rom
I have recently purchased an sgs2 (actually came to my senses and swapped it for a blackberry) and have been scouring the forum for information on how to restore the rom to stock so I have a base to start from. I am new to Android so excuse my ignorance on this. If I do a *#1234# I get the following:
PDA: I9100XXKI3
PHONE: I9100XXKI3
CSC: I910OXAKI3
Build Info: Thu Sep 15 13:53:07 KST 2011
I am based in South Africa and can use the phone as normal but it does currently seem to be a bit unstable and the Market Place crashes fairly regularly on the phone. My carrier is Vodacom South Africa and from research the ROM I have on the phone is a generic for Europe (not sure if this is relevant).
In Kies, there is a message that says updates cannot be done using KIES.
I have tried download the stock ROM from the links on the forum but multiupload.com seems to be down or has very high congestion.
HELP PLEASE!!!

The real question I have is which is the correct ROM to download? There is such a lot of information that I am totally confused now.
On all the posts I've seen so far the one to download for South Africa could be many different versions. What is the relevance of this information?
XWKI4
Firmware info
PDA:XWKI4
PHONE: XXKI1
Date: 14/09/2011
Android 2.3.4
What information do I use to determine the correct version of file to download. I am completely confused by the mass of information available, especially considering my phone is currently running what I assume to be XXKI3 which is non south african.
Could it be that my phone was originally purchased in Europe? If thisd is so should I be installing a version of ROM for that region or will any region do?

Bazilla said:

What firmware was on the phone originally or what firmware do you want .
Could it be that my phone was originally purchased in Europe?
Who knows ???
CSC: I910OXAKI3 but that reads as Polish CSC from memory .
Its normal to download the firmware for the location the phone is being used in .
Its also usual to download the latest version .
Its the CSC that gives local network details and the baseband /modem that may be changed if poor reception .
XILA2
Android 2.3.6
This package has: PDA: XILA2| Modem/phone: XXKL1| CSC: XEUKH2
Latest posted for the UK .
I would flash that enter network settings if needed manually .
CSC or modem can be changed later .
Note multiupload is closed down for good you will need a Google search or Sammobile .com for firmware .

This is a South African Firmware and although its 2.3.4 it contains the regional info (CSC) that you need to make it stable.Dont forget to do a factory reset after flashing.

What? Your links just redirect to this thread. Please make sure to post the correct ones. Or is my browser bugged or something
Stock firmware in the stock rom thread you looked ??
or via CHECKFUS .
or via Sammobile.com
or via GOOGLE search .
HOLD up you will not get stock ICS with a GB baseband .You can alwzys flash the modem yourself if GB modems work on ICS .
Or are you confused regarding what baseband is ???

JJEgan, checkfus cannot find me any firmware...product code displays "not activated"
Sammobile has nothing for my carrier, only for other carriers in my country...but I guess those would not work for my phone would they?
Indeed I might be confused about what baseband is, I edited the title of this thread in consequence.
Thanks ZACQ8, but I understand well I need to find the firmware file before I can flash it with CWM...my carrier hasn't made ICS available , so I don't how to do?
have you tried forums in your country ?
You are all over the place....

Difference between XXALF2 and XXALEF?

Hello,
I'm still new with S3.
I saw many of the custom ROMs are XXALF2, my build number ends with XXALEF. Is there any difference?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
XXALF2 is newer, UK release.
Other differences are difficult to confirm objectively, Samsung never release changelogs.

It' s possible to know which are differences between alef/alf2 and ale8?
All you can do is read the web and the xda forums and some of that is guesswork .
Change logs are not published .

Ok. After a lot of reading, I still don't understand much.
I'm new with Samsung devices, so bare with me with my noob questions.
1. The different basebands are for the languages or the system?
I'm from Malaysia with the baseband of DXLE9. Build XXALEF.
Can I flash with different baseband & build? Or the baseband have to be the same?
2. How about rooting?
Should I follow the baseband & build versions or straight away root?

Help unbranding/debranding S3 on 3 network

Hi
Im new here and new to samsung as i purchased a S3 and absolutely love it so far (goodbye iphone!)
The item is on the network '3' and locked to 3 so what i want to do is debrand the phone so there would be no more 3 pre-installed apps and logos and then root the phone and try the voodoo unlock app to try and unlock it.
I know how to root the phone and install the apk file I am just confused on how to debrand the phone using odin, i do not know which specific firmware I should be using.
I would REALLY APPRECIATE it if someone could send me a direct download link to the network/carrier free firmware that I need to flash my phone and the specific version of Odin that I need and a video/picture tutorial on how to flash as i have never flashed android firmwares.
Here are some details which may help:
Model number: GT-I9300
Android version: 4.0.4
Product code:
firmware version: AP: I9300XXALF6
CP: I9300NELF1
CSC:I9300H3GALF1
kERNEL version: 3.0.15-705505-user se.infra:SEP-65 #1
For some reason when I type the code *2767*4387264636# to find out my phones product code nothing comes up.
Thank you in advance!

CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.
CSC has nothing to do with what languages the firmware supports and it will not add keyboard language support either.
