As i said in the topic, im trying to revert to stock since i have to send in my phone with a broken glass to my insurence company.
But im having trouble finding any working links for it, since its all multiupload which is down..
Im running XXKI4, Swedish version(Nordic i suppose).
Anyone out there that know where i can find it?
Thanks.
One use Google
Two try Sammobile.com
Three download via Checkfus

Thanks, i found a nice guide on a swedish forum. I also found out about CheckFus Downloader.
I have one question though, if my product number is XXKI4, will it work if i install one with this info?
Product Code: GT-I9100LKANEE
Latest firmware: I9100XXLPQ/I9100OXXLPD/I9100XXLPQ/I9100XXLPQ
Modified: 2012-03-09 14:57:02
Filename: GT-I9100_NEE_1_20120309133406.zip.enc2
Thanks
I had XXKI4 and I flashed XXLPQ no problem, I put my phone into download mode and ODIN'd it across.
Thank you, i updated successfuly!
Although, i seeem to be missing some stuff, such as the new camera and the new gallery thats supposed to be out, i havnt had the chance to look over the rest.
Any ideas about that?
Bumping this!

Hi,
I've been looking around for a week already and can't figure this out, was wondering if anyone could give me some advice.
Im running Kies version 2.0.3.11082_152. When I plug my SGS2 it prompts and gets to back up as normal but on summary it doesnt show my Firmware information and when I check for update it is just blank.
PDA: BOKG2
Phone: BOKG1
CSC: TMUKF1
Im still running Gingerbread 2.3.3 on T-Mobile (UK) and was wondering how can I update my Firmware other than Odin.
I spoke to T-Mob and they asked me to contact Samsung who wants me to take the phone to one of their authorized services but I'm not looking for all this hassle and just wanna get to update as normal.
Any helpfull input is more than welcome, Im still learning the way of the device and its being my 2nd week of use.
Really appreciate the help!
Hold "home+power+volume up" and see if you can get into stock recovery mode.If you cant then you firmware is not properly flashed into you phone.Your verion is here on XDA so you could re-flash it,it would still be stock and Kies might then recognize it.Also updates are regional and carrier based so if your carrier doesnt have the latest above 2.3.3 then there wont be any update either.Looking at the carrier firmware list the firmware you have stated is the latest here on XDA for T-Mobile UK so its posible that there isnt any update yet.
Thanks for your reply.
I did manage to get on recovery mode and about the T-mob firmware, I cant confirm there is one available but I assume there should be something wrong for the fact that I cant check my firmware info on kies.
I 'll probably try to flash same rom on odin.
When I was checking the T-Mob roms here, I cant discern which version of firmware it is. The details about about PDA / Phone / CSC has anything with it? I mean, how do I find which is 2.3.3 from 2.3.4 if any.
Thanks again for helping understanding.

Goto this link and get Odin v1.85 if you dont already have it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
You will see it almost right at the top where it says "FLASHING FIRMWARE WITH ODIN"
Then go to this one and scroll down to T-MOBILE and find UK.You will see the firmware you stated is the last on the list.This is because it hasnt been updated yet or there is no update.Anway,thats your download link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
The first link explains it all.Odin is downloaded as a ZIP file.For the firmware when downloaded you just need to double click to get the extract menu.No Password.The firmware goes in PDA and without marking anything else hit the start button.That easy
EDIT:One more thing.Im one WIN7 and sometimes my antivirus gives a warning and gives the typicall red menu and all that.Dont worry its not a virus.Just hit the execute button or whatever yours shows and its all good.Its just the way your antivirus and firewalls are set to detect incoming stuff

Hi mate, I really appreciate your help! I did found those threads previously but as I stated before, I cant discern the difference from one firmware to the other. Its very noobish but I'm looking very much to learn.
This are the versions on the thread:
T-Mobile UK
BOKE3:http://www.multiupload.com/GY05UJM6DQ

Firmware info: PDA:BOKG2|PHONE:BOKG1|CSC:TMUKF1
BOKG2 Stock Kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/TD5QBFPCIH
Password: [email protected]
I believe mine is the Firmware info: PDA:BOKG2|PHONE:BOKG1|CSC:TMUKF1 cause it matches mine so I assume its the version 2.3.3 but is there anyway of finding out from reading it? Like looking at those codes you know which version it is.
Sorry, I dont mean to be a pain for asking so much but I wish to understand how it is.
Also, I've spoken to samsung who confirmed T-Mob UK has version 2.3.4 for SGS2 available so I should be able to upgrade through Kies but Kies is rubbish and is stating my firmware as the latest.
I again appreciate all the help!
"androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-international/387520-understanding-csc-kernel-etc.html"
I found this thread on another forum which helped me to understand better what I was asking, I hope it can help more ppl as well.
Many thanks for all those that helped including the guys from "androidforums.com"
Also, I was rechecking the roms available and the one on my device is the latest listed on the branded firmwares, I wonder what would Samsung guys flash on my device if I take to their service centre, not looking for that anyway!
All the best!
PS: Cant post links yet, sorry for the mess.
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.

thanks a lot for your answers. i just flashed a custom rom andy everything is good
Howdy.
Hoping some one can direct me to a working unbranded firmware for SG2.
I have obtained one listed at Sammobile:
I9100XWLP8_I9100XSALP4_XSA
4.0.3 2012 April I9100XSALP4 Australia
But it is not in english (I think it's polish or something) and just crashes the phone so another working one would be more useful I think.
If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.
Also, assuming a working firmware exists, is it likely that the phone will stop crashing on start up or is something else likely to be causing this problem. Thanks.

1. Wrong forum
2. Flash this firmware, it's the newest unbranded one and contains all the languages.
Thanks for that. I can't find a link on the web page to down load the firmware.
You can get I9100XWLP8/I9100XSALP4/I9100XXLPS/I9100XWLP8 which is unbranded AU stock ICS from Checkfus. Search for the PC version on here/Google. Then choose Android/I9100/Australia GT-I9100LKJXSA in the pulldown boxes. On the left hand side it will populate the product code/PDA/CSC/phone fields, then click 'check firmware'. This will give you the the details I mentioned in the first line.
From there, click 'download' & it will download/decrypt an Odin flashable firmware package you can flash following the usual instructions for flashing firmware with Odin (put the package you download in the PDA section of Odin).
Thanks for that,
Does anyone have a straight link to a download please. I'm not in a position to install software just to obtain a download.
Also can anyone advise why the device boots in to a non english language when loading Australian firmwares.
I have tried about 5 different "Unbranded australian firmwares" and they all boot in some language I can't work out. It's eastern european or something.
The phone must be in out of box state when these firmwares are loaded because it doesn't just boot up like when I first got it. There are a series of what appear to be questions I have to answer before the phone will start up. Then it crashes.
Also does anyone know why it would just crash on a new firmware that apparently eveyone else can use without problems. Is there something else I need to install apart from the firmware?
Do I need a kernel or something else with these firmwares?
Any useful help appreciated. Thanks
Does everyone have to read in those characters in the box before they have to post. I find it very difficult to read whats in the boxes. It takes 5 or 6 attempts before this forum accepts my codes.
I found a web site where you can lookup if there are firmwares available.
I'm not allowed to post it
its the home page for that checkfus program
Unfortunately there are none for Australia. Can anyone suggest a working set of droid OS downloads I can use to get this phone working again please?
Full wipe, flash stock ROM, it will be in English.
There are many stock roms for Australia at Sammobile.
You can also use check fus down loader
I am still trying to get a download for unbranded Aust stock ROM GTI9100. Sammobile does not recognise a search for this phone so maybe they no longer support it. I agree trying to get a simple download without having to join another site or get hit with malware is well nigh impossible it seems.
Hi @trebleguy , install this first .
The ROM contains all languages.

Hello,
I'm attempting to return my I9100 to stock so I can update via KIES as I wish to sell it, after rooting, flashing ICS, playing around for a month etc...
It was originally a T-mobile handset, I used checkfus to find the original stock ROM, and I've downloaded it, however, I cannot get hold of the stock kernel for love nor money! (I've googled it, found one apparent alternative source, but for some reason it wont boot using this and just keeps looping through the T-mobile branded load-up screen)
The kernel I'm after is the following:
UK
BOKE3:http://www.multiupload.com/GY05UJM6DQ
Firmware info: PDA:BOKE3|PHONE:BOKD1|CSC:TMUKE3

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
I've read the thread and checked both Sammobile and Samsung-update and neither has the BOKE3 Kernel.
If anyone has this, please, please could you upload it so I can return my handset to stock, I would really appreciate it.
Also, if I'm doing anything obviously wrong, please point me in the right direction, I am a n00b at this. (I've successfully reset my counter using triangle away, and flashed the ROM from checkfus, but KIES still says NO!)
Many thanks!
Luke
ps. I realise now I should have backed up my stock kernel and ROM before tweaking, stupid stupid stupid...
I stopped reading somewhere when you say you downloaded using checkfuS and now after a stock kernel.........
Buddy ROM package like you get from checkfus is whole thing including kernel.
Just flash the ROM using Odin.
But be sure its for i9100 if you have that.

Why don't you just download and flash latest ICS ROM with UK support?
Do you really need the branded version?
Just have a look at Intratech's other thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
I recommend XWLPD, as this has best balance between performance and battery life on my phone.
If you want to go bak to GB, then flash XWLA4, which was best GB ROM IMO.
Thank you so much atifsh!
I did wonder whether the firmware download from CheckFus included the kernel, but couldn't figure it out (I'm stupid, I know! I'm new at this stuff...)
It's definitely the i9100 (checked under battery), it's definitely a T-mobile UK handset (bought it from a T-mobile customer who provided the contract paperwork).
Last night I tried flashing the latest T-mobile firmware, but KIES didn't like it, so tried flashing the BOKE3 firmware (oldest T-mobile branded firmware) and it didn't like that either.
Someone mentioned that when flashing you need to add the firmware file to the CSC section of odin to reset the CSC code, is this correct? I normally only include it in the PDA section.
This may be the problem I'm having as when I check my CSC using *#272*IMEI# it only lists CPW (carphone warehouse) and not TMU (T-mobile). Does this make sense as to why KIES wouldn't recognise the firmware?
I really appreciate your input and help here. Many thanks!
Luke
Hi It_ler,
Thanks for the advice, I was running the latest ICS firmware from the official thread, however I've decided to sell the device and would like to restore it to stock so that whomever I sell it to can update it through the official methods if they so wish.
Hope that makes sense!
Luke
Remove Sim, remove external sdcard.
Put the firmware.md5 in pda
Put your phone in download mode
after flash and boot dial *2767*3855#
It will wipe your phone and hopefully fix your csc.
Atifsh,
Thank you SO much! You saved my bacon. It worked when I did the *2767*3855# reset, this fixed the CSC and then the phone could update via KIES.
I really appreciate you help,
Many thanks,
Luke
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.

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?
