I'm new in the Android world, so i have some questions... sorry for that
my Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 is with 2.3.6 DXKL3 (Asian one) and i want to know if i can change its firmware to the xwkk5... and if i can do so, which languages does it support and what are the differences? i live in Brasil and bought the galaxy in Singapore.
You can flash whatever I9100 firmware you want on to your I9100. Region doesn't matter unless you're wanting to get updates via Kies. So far as languages are concerned, probably the same languages as any other stock firmware.
Try it & find out.

Hi! i bought Galaxy s2 in Sweden Tele2. Can somebody tell me, which is the right fimware with right CSC for Sweden, beause i update with this firmware i9100XXKH3 and i change CSC. And wright now i don't know how to return everything back to original firmware.
You'll need to find the stock ROM for S II with WWE in the name (World Wide English). It'll have all the languages including swedish.
Check the S II developer section here.
Hi there!
I have an European P7500 3G tab, which came with firm version KH7. I recently installed version KI1 from samfirmware, and it changed my CSC from Spanish FOP to Italian ITV, as well as installing some Italian stuff.
My problem now is that I noticed I have Newton rings on my screen (shame on you, Samsung!!), and I want to take it to the Samsung Service Center, but I think warranty would be voided if I don´t return it to the original version.
Can anybody advise if it is possible to simply install an older stock version (say KG1 or KG7) from samfirmware on this newer version KI1? Would this method also unroot the tab?
Thanks!
I am in the same situation. Simply flash KG7 from samfirmware, but the question is, how to reset those flashcounter?
Does flashing a stock rom with odnin effect the flashcounter
No one answer? I really need the guide to unroot my tab p7500. All the instruction I found is for P7150 wifi version. I wonder whether I can use this step or not for my tab

Hello all,
I purchased Galaxy S2 last year in June in United Arab Emirates and have had following firmware:
PDA:KE2
PHONE: KE1
CSC: KE1 (ARB)
Kies still shows no updates for my device.
It is Gingerbread 2.3.3. It does not support Arabic (all Arabic text appears as blocks) even though it should.
It is not a carrier branded version. It is available in the country through only 1 official Samsung distrubutor. My friends who purchased the phone much later have different firmwares on their devices and have proper Arabic support and have had their phones updated through Kies few times.
What I feel is that there are different series of Galaxy S2 devices released in the country havind different firmware series. I purchased my device the very first day it was released here (pre-ordered).
I think that there are newer firmware updates for my device though I can not understand exactly which ones will work with my device. I am wondering why no updates have been made available on Kies.
Can anyone guide me to the exact firmware updates for my device (all 3 part; PDA, PHONE and CSC). Gingerbread 2.3.5 would be preferred. Or should I wait for Android ICS 4?
Thanks very much!
Just root your phone.

Forget kies it's terrible software.
Make sure you have a I9100 version of the phone the Read this thread.

Learn how easy it is flashing firmware with Odin and find a good late version firmware to your liking. Then flash it.
You can flash your csc also to keep that if you need it. Carrier specific Stuff.
Also you can flash modems to see what gives you the best reception etc.
After you have done this kies will probably not work for updates anymore but you can download an app called checkfus from the market to check your carrier/region updates.
Hope this helps.

Did you purchase from UAE then I suggest you just take the phone to the service center they will upgrade to latest firmware for free. Else go to Intratech's thread and get the jpkj2 firmware. With XSG csc this one is for uae. The link is in my signature official firmware.

My i9100 is VNO, unbranded Venezuela,
I live in Canada, which firmware to update to ICS ?
I'd like get the English and French languages.
Thanks for your help.
All stock ICS ROMs contain all the languages you want and 40+ more.
I suggest you install the GT-I9100 ITV (Italy, unbranded), version I9100XWLPF, because it is the newest, most bug-free, and, IMHO, the best ROM Samsung has to offer today for the GS2.
You can download it using CheckFus or from here:

If that answers your question, don't foget to click on "Thanks".
Hi, I live in Romania and after I bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 I had the unpleasant surprise to see the phone has a Italian firmware (3Mobile.it - ICS 4.0.3) and CSC - HUI. The phone is unlocked and my Orange SIM works fine but can't change the CSC code .. only HUI is available. The question is if I want to flash the phone with an ORO - Orange firmware witch has ICS 4.0.4 will I encounter problems afterwards? Will the phone be locked on Orange?
You can flash firmware for any region you like. However, you may not be able to get OTA updates when they're released for your region anymore due to the different CSC. Simple solution to that is to flash future updates manually with Odin like many people here do anyways (you can always get the latest firmwares for country/carrier with Checkfus).
