[Q] Samsung stock firmware recovery

Hi,
I am actually trying to enter the world of custom roms for my new Android smartphone the Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 (unbranded) But at first I want to know how I can recover my S2 to Samsung stock firmware.
My configuration (*#1234#):
Android: 2.3.3
PDA: I9100XWKF3
PHONE: I9100XXKE7
CSC: I9100XXKF1
Build: Thu Jun 9 18:16:44 KST 2011
I perform such google searches but only find problems with the stock firmware recovery and no download links. Do anyone of you knows some download links?
Thanks in advice.
You can get branded stock ROMs from here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
Volume UP + Home + Power button = Recovery Mode
Volume Down + Home + Power button = Download Mode (for flashing firmware)
There's a forum thread full of original stock roms. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
But if you want to retain warranty you'll need a USB Jig. A little homemade device that puts the phone into download mode and resets a certain counter that counts how many times you flashed custom firmware.
You can also get official firmware from www.samfirmware.com.
Yay I found it, again thanks all for your replies!

[Q] Restoring to factory (Singapore SGS 2)

Hi guys, i've been using the SGS 2 for quite sometime now. Right now i just wanna put it back to the way i got it fresh out of the box or to a latest firmware thats legit.
Here's what i'm running:
ROM: VillainROM 2.4.2
PDA: I9100XXKG6
PHONE: I9100XXKG6
CSC: I9100OXAKG6
BASEBAND VERSION: I9100XXKG6
KERNEL VERSION: [email protected] #26
Hope someone could lend me a hand maybe perhaps give a step by step on what needs to be done first before i start going back to basics. I'm not very savvy yet with these rooting and stuff. Thanks in advance guys.
You are using a Custom ROM, so to put back the Stock ROM you need to flash back the Stock ROM via Odin.
Get the Stock ROM from here,

thanks. =)
I got same problem, did you get answered?
If your reason to go back to factory condition is because the phone is being returned for warranty purposes, then you need to know what ROM was on it when you got it. Warranty returns should only accept the ROM it was supplied with or official updates of the same ROM. If it was a Orange UK ROM, then they will only accept a Orange UK ROM. Branded ROMs and Samsung (unbranded) Stock ROMs are in the Original Android Development section on here. Also the Custom Counter would have to be reset.
If the reason is just to get back to a Samsung Stock, then go to the Original Android Development section on here and find the ROM that is for your region.

Please read Intratech's Official Firmware thread here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
At least the two first posts are relevant to you.
To check, what Firmware/ROM is officially released by Samsung for your region, you can use Check Fus Downloader from here => http://fus.nanzen.se/.
P.S.: You do not need the repartition option in Odin.
If you want to be sure to have a "clean" stock ROM on your phone, just go into recovery mode (Volume UP + Home + Power) and choose to make a factory reset after flashing the ROM.
Good luck !

What do you mean by choose to make a factory reset after flashing the rom?
I have the same problem..but whenever I am flashing the official fw downloaded from Intratech's post, I got failed..I am not sure what's the problems. I tried a few roms from there, every thing just failed and my phone now show a triangle icon which cannot be booted. i Have to use the usb jig to erase the downloading information, then flash any kernel to make the phone reboot then it can be only booted into the rom before flashed.

Try re-download the firmware with your PC antivirus off. I had trouble with Kaspersky corrupting the download (no warning either, false positive).
Then try flash with Odin again.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it matters where the phone is from as long as you use Odin. If it for any reason wouldn't work you could always reflash it.

As stated above, it shouldn't really matter. On the other hand, if you really want the one for your country you could go to settings -> About phone -> scroll to the bottom...
write model number , android version, baseband version, kernel version and build number here to the forum, and I'll try my best to tell you which one you need

gr4ndm4st3r_bl4ck, I am a little confused. My phone is on android 2.3.4 now and I am looking to update it to 2.3.6, but kies keeps telling me there is no update for my phone. If I can flash a rom from any country, can I just grab a 2.3.6 rom for a country, say Brazil, and flash that rom?
In case you need it, these are the information I can get.
model number: GT-I9100
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: I9100UHKI1

Yes if it does not work flash another one .
CSC and or MODEM can be changed as a separate item .
You flash the country you are in no point flashing China firmware if you are in Spain .

That's the latest UH firmware in Intratech's thread ( 2.3.4 only ), if you want the entire ROM use one of the first 3 links, or if you want only the stock kernel then use the last link there.
Also, you could just ignore that UH ROM and flash the latest XW one ( Europe Standard ) from here :
Code:
XWKK5
Android 2.3.6
This package has: PDA: XWKK5| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: XEUKH2
Download: http://www.multiupload.com/7FKGH0Y68X
XWKK5 Stock Kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/HK8G4YGXWJ

After flashing it just set the language to your liking and you'll never notice any difference.
For instance, my S2 came with 2.3.4 Serbia CSC ROM and I flashed the XWKK5 one from above and it works perfect , no need to worry
Edit : PS, Kies will never tell you that a new update is ready , because Samsung didn't make it available on Kies yet, that's why we use Odin instead
Happy flashin

Keep an eye on intratechs thread. The one you were linked to. He posts all the latest stock original carrier firmware so you won't have to wait a month next time.
If you have the I9100 international version you can use nearly any of the latest firmware even if your carrier hasn't released it yet.

How to find the kernel version of my I9100G?

Reading a lot of posts about the I9100 it looks like people are able to find the kernel version this way:
inspiredgeek.com/2011/12/08/how-to-find-download-correct-stock-kernel-firmware-for-samsung-galaxy-sii-s2
The problem is that with my I9100G, the "Settings -> About phone -> Kernel Version" thing just shows:
2.6.35.7
[email protected] #2
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There is nothing after "2.6.35.7" which can let me know what the matching kernel is (such as 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKG1-CL349526 as in the exemple in the above site).
Should it be the same as PDA version then?
PDA: I9100GXXKL5
Phone: I9100GXXKL4

Probably and usually .
AS long as its G firmware not i9100 firmware .DO NOT FLASH i9100 FIRMWARE to a G

The problem is that my stock kernel is not available anywhere on internet (if it's the same as the PDA version). If I flash an other kernel and want to go back to the stock one I can't.

Choice is to flash an different kernel or stay where you are .
If you want to go back to stock then you need a saved stock rom .
Why do you want a kernel ??
jje
I just want to root it. The only option seem to be to use an older or insecure kernel.
The problem is that I can't save the ROM without having it rooted from what I've seen.
Thanks to CheckFus, I was actually able to download my ROM and extract the kernel.
http://fus.nanzen.se/
I have a similar requirement
Hey _AnAkIn_
I have the same issue that you seem to have fixed. Could you help me with it?
I have rooted my device and would like to switch back to the stock kernel (same as the one you have listed a solution for) but have not found one online.
It would be helpful if you could give a a step by step guide on how you extracted the original kernel and flashed it back on your phone (If you can share the file it would be even better). Also did your device remain rooted?
Thanks in advance.
can you tell me what my kernel version is?
