Hello All Together.
I've been unlucky enough to get 2.3.6 update on my galaxy S 2, I would like to put ice cream on it, the Offical release. I do not receive anything if I can update it. But to have a European ROM on it. Here's how it says when you go into the "about phone"
Android: 2.3.6
The baseband version: I9100XXKI4
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWLA4-CL900411
Build number: Gingerbread.XWLA4
Hope there are some who can help me when my phone rebooted all the time.
Type *#272*Device IMEI# at phone dial, and change csc to Xeo(for Europe ). Watch out! It will do a factory reset of your phone!
After, you will get official update.

It says sales code DBT, I can press the Install or Cancel?
and I say install it says Must be THREE chars. ? :-(
Choose the right one for your region. DBT is for Germany I supose. Remember that it will wipe out your data, but you will be eligable to update rom through kies.

I can not pick anyone other than DBT it says must be three chars, but it is 3 characters?
Yup three chars only. Here you can find some csc codes:

Do you have multi csc package installed? Or ics update is not yet applied in your country..

No, I do not think I have. I am from Denmark. But my phone is parrallel imported :-(
Simple
ICS official update for your phone will arrive via KIES .
Other route is to flash a stock ICS rom from the thread in general section .

Kies said there is no update, wants an official ROM of ICS. But how Rooter my phone? and how do I find out which ROM I need one?
Check out sgs2 development forum. There you have a plenty of custom roms or stock. Just flash it. Custom roms are already rooted.
Information how you can root your phone, you can find also there.
You can flash whatever rom you want to (dedicated for your model of course).

But it will erase all your data, right?

No, it shouldn't. But I believe the update is for UK handsets only. Can't swear to it, but worth checking
Thank you will try odin. Since this is my fist android phone i didn't want to mess around much. But will try
Ok it shouldn't but you do have to make a factory reset in order to get the XEU CSC working and that will wipe your phone, won't it?
just bothering with that because without root there is no backup and kies is too stupid to have a simple button that says "backup"
Factory reset wipes your data, you for XEU CSC in above referred thread

How do i update the complete mobile software to 2.3.4 in INDIA? Not only the firmware, im talking about the complete mobile software update. Is there anything called as complete mobile software update?
Did anyone in INDIA tried with the "Software update" option that is in mobile?
Settings-about-software update-check for updates ??
When i try it in my mobile it says connecting to server and after a while it says connection failed and exits...
A Firmware update is a Full software update. India don't have the 2.3.4 released officially yet like many countries. If you want 2.3.4 now the only option is to download and flash an unofficial leaked ROM via Odin.
OTA updates don't work on Indian devices, so that error message is normal.
Regards.
Thanks for the reply, If we flash the unofficial firmware will that work well? I mean is there any difference between the firmwares that are released in India and in other countries? Can you please provide me the thread details which have the info to update to 2.3.4 and the steps to do it....Also is there anything new in 2.3.4?
I never used any leaked firmware and won't use one, so can't tell you any difference if there is any, but there are plenty of our members are using it and they haven't stated any proboem.
You can find all firmwares from here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Regards.
I guess these are just kernle updates, Have you checked the samfirmware.com which has the complete update for S2, it has PIT, PDA, PHONE, CSC files.
Any idea what these files are?
Got some idea after seeing the thread posted by you. But does the other country update files work on the phones that are purchased in INDIA?
Every firmware can be flashed on any device. Samfirmware and that thread I provided is same, only Samfirmware has fewer ROM's.
Kernel and Firmware are two different things.

I have downloaded the Kernel_GTI9100XXKH3 and updated to my mobile using the ODIN, but when i say *#1234#, it still shows the same old version
PDA: I9100XWF3
PHONE: I9100DDKE4
CSC: I9100DDKF3
And in settings-about
Kernel Version: [email protected] - 15 #2
so i guess only the kernel version is changed but the firmware is at same level

Hey bro ..
Can u tell me that after upgrading to the leaked 2.3.4 , is the UI same .?
i.e the samsung interface , homescreen etc .??
Also , can u please tell me that when the brightness is maxed out ( 100%) , is the screen too bright .??
Like mine is okay at 100% but not too bright , so i was thinkin if there is an issue with my device .

Its very rasy to upgrade... Just follow the steps.. Odin 1.85 add the KH3 tar file to the pda link(not the rar file of 200 mb but around 500 it dhould be), put phone in download mode (vol down, home and then also hold power button, vol up to confirm) connect, make sure repartition is NOT checked in Odin, then Flash!

You were just told that 2.3.5 is the latest..think about it
Sorry.... typo error... my question was
.why dint it update to 2.3.5 ....
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
does it come with a carrier loaded ROM? If so i think you have to wait for them to release it, as they put their own bloatware on.
Ricey
If i get your question rt.. i got this as unlocked in amazon, no carrier linkage i guess.. is tat correct?....
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
if you go to this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278) excellent thread by intratech, you will see that UHKI2 is the latest firmware for your region. if you want 2.3.5. you will have to change the firmware to one of the european or hong kong firmwares (go through the thread, there might be more). you would need to do this using Odin, so "manual" update.
if you want 2.3.7 then you would have to slap CM7 onto your phone, but in that case you would have to do without any samsung software.
Oh.. ... i dint know it automatically changes to region specific ones.. earlier i had europian i guess....if i go for CM it would be a xomplete flash rt?... if yes then i would wait for ICS.... thank u all for the help....

Update via Kies?
Hi.. I'm very new to this and just got an unlocked Crazy Johns GS2: GT-I9100T, version 2.3.3, PDA DU-KH1, Phone DU-KF4, CSC VAU-KG2, 11 Aug '11. Is it possible to just change the CSC (backup, press *#272*IMEI#, select a region code, install), so Kies sees my phone as unbranded and for a region (eg. UK or Hong Kong?), where Samsung has officially released version 2.3.5, so I can update via Kies?

I would suggest you get your hands dirty now, because Samsung said ICS will get released on this phone next year January 2012, which is pretty long if you think about it, and you know you will keep checking back here and one day you will lose patience and install CM7 onto the phone.
Just install CM7 now onto the phone.
Yes it is a complete wipe ROM, just have ClockworkMod Recovery to Wipe Cache + Data + Dalvik, then install the CM7 ROM from the internal SD (by wiping Cache + Data + Dalvik, it does not delete anything on the 16GB internal partition). You do not flash using Odin, and everything is based on the phone after moving the ROM of CM7 from the computer to the phone.

I know there are a number of "Debranding" threads but I really don't want to brick my SGS2. I've not quite had my SGS2 for a week but am guessing I have an old firmware which is Vodafone branded, I want to debrand my SGS2 so I can get more recent updates but this is all new to me. I'm not new to Android as I had a Rooted and BL unlocked SE X10i but it's the differences in firmware etc of the SGS2 which confuses me.
This is my "About phone" info:
Model number
GT-I9100
Android version
2.3.3
Baseband version
I9100BUKG1
Kernel version
[email protected] #2
Build number
GINGERBREAD.BUKG2
Am I right in saying this is older firmware and if I flash it with Odin it will debrand my SGS2 and will I be able to get further updates either via OTA or Kies, is the above quoted firmware correct or should I use another??
Thanks for any help, Jason.
Anybody, please??

Root the phone using CF Root and then flash one of the many custom ROMS available, i recommend 'CheckROM Revolution'.
Thanks for the reply fella, I might try a custom ROM at a later date as it's all I used in my Xperia X10i but for now I want to keep my SGS2 stock.
I have flashed a stock ROM.
PDA: I9100XWKI4
PHONE: I9100XXKI4
CSC: I9100XEUKH2
Now when I connect to Kies it says "Unable to update this version" and under CSC it says I9100XEUKH2(VOD) which I'm assuming means vodafone?
I even flashed a generic XEUKH2 CSC package hoping it would remove the VOD and Kies would be able to update my phone, still the same though.
Any advice please??

So after more reading I think I've found the issue, it's my SGS2's product code? (I9100LKAVOD)
Pretty sure I know the answer to this but is there any way to change the product code??

To change csc type *#272*IMEI# and it should allow you choose csc, please note this will wipe your phone, not 100% sure but I think it wipes your storage aswell so please check and back everything up
Thanks but will this remove the VOD product code so I can update via Kies??
Swyped from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Solved it, once the ROM had been flashed with Odin you need to do a factory reset via recovery!
I'm now running XEU CSC and Kies recognises my phone and now does not say "cannot be updated".
WARNING- A FACTORY RESET WILL WIPE ALL USER DATA, BACK UP OR DO A NANDROID BACK UP. I did an advanced data restore via CWM, worked like a charm.

Don't know why you unbranded, vodafone has the latest updated before unbranded phones, xeu is still waiting for 2.3.5
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Not when I started this thread, I was on 2.3.3 and no update available. I'm happy with a debranded/unbranded phone, am running 2.3.4 atm and I'm sure Sammy will release 2.3.5 soon and if not I can either flash a Vodafone branded ROM or a Frankenstein ROM.
Typical though, I solve this and Vodafone comethrough. Sods law!! lol
Hi,
If I have stock Firmware customized by the provider (4.1.2 Orange) and I install an official untouched firmware with Odin, will the CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD remain NONE and the IMEI remain the same?
I don't want to wait for Orange to release the updates, but i would like to keep the warranty.
Thank you!
u can flash it without worrying about custom binary download..if u stock other country STOCK firmware,it will remain said official..
So basically if i flash another firmware from another carrier who does not customize it in my country, i can still keep warranty and make updates from Kies or OTA.

Yes but if you flash a rom for Sweden you wait for Sweden updates and you may need to change Modem or and CSC for your location .

Thank you!
I will flash a fw from another carrier from my country.

I just flashed the firmware. PDA: I9300XXELL6 CSC: I9300OXFELL1
However the CSC from the recovery menu remained ORO, from the original firmware and Kies told me that it can not provide updates for this firmware. I used "Samsung Galaxy S / S2 / S3 CSC" from the market to change it to COA, as this is the CSC from the carrier the firmware is and now Kies tells me that i have the latest firmware. Also CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD is NONE and it says official.
Thanks for the advice!
