Hi,
Does anyone know where I can download the original Android 2.3.4 CPW UK ROM from? I used odin to flash the first official version of ICS to my phone but would like to go back to the stock ROM I had on before.
The phone I have is white, if the makes any difference? (Galaxy S2 White CPW CSC)
Thanks.

Earlier in June I received a Galaxy SII that was unbranded, but I had to return it due to a little circle that seemed to be 'burned' into the screen.
Now I finally received my new Galaxy S II but to my great disappointment it's loaded with Vodafone crap, and branded:
PDA:KE5 / PHONE:KE1 / CSC:KE2 (VDF)
I want to replace the branded FW for the official non branded FW and I was wondering how to do that.. I went to this thread but i'm not quite sure which FW i'll need.. Does anyone happen to know?
Use the XEN version of XWKF3 firmware, it's for the Netherlands.
As intratech said flag stock unbranded firmware for your country
You can also try latest 2.3.4 based roms as batista 70, cognition or vilian

Thanks for the quick replies, i'm downloading the Kernel and FW now, but before I get to work with that:
how do i backup the complete kernel/fw of my phone as it is right now, in case I ever have to send it in for repairs and don't want to void my warranty?
Will I be able to update future firmwares with KIES or will i have to keep doing it manually once I install the unbranded firmware?
After flashing the XWKF3 XEN firmware on my phone instructions say i need to flash the insecure kernel before i can flash the stock XWKF3 kernel. I was wondering which Chainfire version I have to get. I think it's the KF3 one from this post but I'd like to make very sure before I start doing things.
Then after flashing the Chainfire kf3 kernel I can use Odin in the same way to flash the stock KF3 kernel, correct?
Once all this is done, will KIES recognise my phone and offer me updates when they become available or will i have to keep doing it manually?
Is it possible to backup my current FW/Kernel with Odin so that I can put those back on in case I ever need to return my phone for repairs and don't want to get any trouble with warranty?
Hi folks,

I bought my white sgs2 from carphonewarehouse on 24.09.11, could you or anyone else be more precice which stock rom to flash, ie, xwk7 or xwk3, i think it had 2.3.3 on it.!
I'm a complete Noob to Android, and want to try an upgrade to see if it fixes a video audio recording issue (loud static). So excuse the question if there is a FAQ somewhere I didn't find.
Currently have XWKI4, XXKI1, KH1 (CPW) which from my interpretation of the stock rom page is 2.3.4 UK - Carphone Warehouse
I can't figure which particular rom I should install for 2.3.5 - there is no CPW version, and no other version looks appropriate i.e. plain english/UK etc
Does this mean I should grab a Frankenstein rom? Just want whatever is easiest.
Cheers,
Tim
Hi,
I have just flashed the XWKI4 package from this thread (which has the new bootloader removed) to a UK Orange branded S2, in an attempt to debrand.
Upon reboot, the stock samsung animation is shown, but, the stock orange crapware apps are still installed.
When I go to *#272*...# to change CSC, the current CSC is shown as ORA but there are no CSC available in the list to change to.
How do I get rid of the orange apps? I am thinking I need to make the phone think it's XEU CSC but how can I do that if XEU is not in the list?
thanks

If its Orange brand firmware then its not debranded .
You flash a non orange stock firmware i guess you have not flashed the firmware .

Hi, I am from Australia with Optus carrier. I don't like the optus start-up logo, it looks bad. I wanna get rid of it and heard that I would need to flash a stock rom from Samsung. The question is: I am from Australia and I haven't seen any Australian Roms for Galaxy S3. I saw that there are like UK ones and Algerian, but I would wish to have the Australian debranded stock rom, if possible. Or if that's not available, the international stock rom, however I haven' found any. Do you know what I should do? Once I have the stock rom, I still can get updates and so on, right?
Also, I was wondering if I hard reset my phone I have atm, which is branded, will it turn to the unbranded? Really doubt it, tho who knows.
Cheers
If your phone is modelled as gt - i9300 its possible to flash any rom for the device for example international stock rom. Look roms from sammobile web sites.

I actually found the Australian unbranded firmware:
Australia ......... Unbranded ......... »» XSA »» I9300XXALE8/I9300XSAALE6/I9300XXLE8/I9300XXALE8
Using Check Fus downloader 2.1, you can download it and other firmwares. Details can be found here.
The Fus downloader fails to download it tho, it crashes. Is there anyway to download it directly from the server? Or what am I doing wrong?
