Hi Guys, After *#1234# i have:
PDA: I9100XWKJ2
PHONE: I9100XXKI4
CSC: I9100XEFKJ1
When I'm going to Kies it tells me that my firmwire is the latest and i have 2.3.5!!!
Can I have the ics on my phone without rooting?!
Somewhere before i had read that i can change my phone region to other that had ics upgrade, but i don't know how to do it,
and if i do it, the kernel that i have it will going to be change automatically, and the gingerbread will it going to be cyanogen??!
Thanks if anyone can help me with this!!!

YES correct for YOUR phone your provider has not updated ask them why .
Can I have the ics on my phone without rooting?!
YES flash stock Samsung rom via Odin from first post general or stock roms post dev section .
Somewhere before i had read that i can change my phone region to other that had ics upgrade, but i don't know how to do it,
To complicated for a noob try spooffw from the market .
and if i do it, the kernel that i have it will going to be change automatically, and the gingerbread will it going to be cyanogen??!
Think you are very confused kernel is part of the firmware cynagon is a custom modification not official .
You would be far better off reading the FAQS and GUIDES and not bricking your phone .

Hey Guys,
I've tried all morning to find out what i should pick to flash my new phone, i've searched the forum but atm everything is kinda making me go crazy. I've understand that Different regions got different firmware, i've checked the post about all the official firmware. But now I must admit, i've given up and admit to seek help in here.
My phone:
PDA: I9100XWKF3
Phone: I9100XXKE7
CSC: I9100XXKF1
Location: Denmark
Language: Danish
Android: 2.3.3
NEW FIRMWARE:
I wish to run 2.3.4 ofc, so im looking for a firmware that enables this.
I've found by reading allot of posts in here, that this site have allot:
http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9100.htm
The problem is, that they have allot of different and seems to make no sense, wich one i should pick.
Here is a little list:
I9100XXKG1 ## EXT4.PIT 2.3.4 2011 July 5 MULTI - CSC - OXAKG1
I9100XXKH3 ## EXT4.PIT 2.3.4 2011 August 12 MULTI - CSC - OXAKH13
I9100XXKH1 ## EXT4.PIT 2.3.4 2011 August 1 MULTI - CSC - OXAKH1
Problem:
My phone is atm at: I9100XWKF3 and on the list there is no such thing. Only KH1-KH3-KG..
What is the risk by flashing one of them?, i mean KF and KH is not the same i guess...
Could someone please help me to find the right one for me?
Many THanks.
Well you are on KF3 firmware like me. It's an old build. Still 2.3.4 hasn't released officially yet, so only option is a leaked ROM if you wanna get 2.3.4. Just download an European firmware from this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
There is NO risk involved, but keep in mind that it's not the Official firmware, so Kies will stop giving you any information on future firmware updates.

OXAKH3 is KH3 firmware of Europe region.
Official update should be coming soon, depends on damn Samnsung, when they will release it to Kies servers. If you want Kies updates, then as I said, you need to be on a Stock firmware, Kies won't show any updates if your device is on a Custom/Leaked firmware.

Hi there new to the forum so if this thread is in the wrong place please move it for me XD.
My question is...
Just got an S2 of my mate. he has updates it to baseband I9100XXKI3 which he says is a new beta firmware. Is it possible to downgrade the firmware to the official uk release as i don't want to use beta as i'm not too tech savy?
Thanks for your help
Yes via\ this thread KI3 beta i would check that it may actually be a release now .
Baseband is modem not firmware ..

Personally i would stick with what you have many custom roms are using KI3 firmware no problem .
Easier to do that than downgrade .

As the subject states, I'm trying to identify the right unlocked and original kernel to use with the latest [PDA:KH2 / PHONE:KH1 / CSC:KH2 (ORA)] to root the device? In case it matters, this is for an SGS2 on Orange in the UK.

I dont really understand the post but at a guess you are trying to root your phone ???
But the topic is posted as kernel for kies update ???
Kies loads off firmware details not kernel .
latest Kies may not update non standard firmware .

Oops, forgot the root bit
Yep, I'm trying to root the phone with the aforementioned level of firmware, but I cannot see the KH2 rooted and original around anywhere.
KH2 root no you will have to follow the instructions and use KH1 or KH3 .

Hi
I've got a Galaxy s2 (good thing really being in this forum)
It's currently running 2.3.4 on XWK14 (official) flashed from the official roms thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 (not the frankenstein part) with the XEU CSC (UK)
There are so many threads with this rom that rom at the moment I'm finding it hard to keep track of which ones are official and which aren't.
Kies says no update available, sammobile says there is I think.......
What I want to know is what is the current up to date ROM for the Galaxy S2 in the UK (unbranded) XEU CSC seems to be thr right one.although again I see things like XEUKD1 etc being posted - all a bit confusing!
From the official roms thread the one I have would appear to be the most up to date verion but please correct me if wrong
Fact the forum does state offical Rom clearly and if you look you'll see 2.3.6 to date. Fact that you may not be getting any update via kies may be your running a older version of kies go to samsung homepage and manual install the current version from the once install connect fone and take it from there.. And you should at least get 2.3.5 but hey just flash a firmware using odin and your done easy..
I know your after a UK based firmware.
thanks
I've had a look through yes I can find 2.3.6 but not for uk, I must be blind!
I will try the kies route - I like to stay as close to official as I can, If I can't get kies to provide 2.3.5 do you have a link to an official 2.3.5 xeu rom?
U have KK5 for uk.....am using that one...its 2.3.6

U can Update upto 2.3.6 Officially
There is no 2.3.7 for ur XXKI4
search in this it may be useful
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
All 2.3.7 offers over 2.3.6 is support for Google Wallet for the Galaxy Nexus. So nothing worth noting for the Galaxy S2.
So go to 2.3.6.
Dear All (JJEgan, chinnupepsi4all, ctomgee)
Thnaks for reply. But the process is not clear to me. Last time I went through few post "How to root" and upgraded my SGS2 to 2.3.3 to 2.3.5, now could you please tell me how exacetly I can upgrade it and no matter whether its 2.3.6 or anything.
I think if you cant read and understand the threads already posted on riiting, upgrading, dont bother rooting or upgrading. Connect your phone to kies, if that offers one, that's what you do.

everything is self explanatory here......no need to read any further docs......its as easy as piece of cake......
I'm sorry Mr Ravi. I wasnt even trying to say writing, but rooting. The O and I are really close togethor my fingers. What I was trying to say anyway is that there are plenty of threads on rooting. Don't ask people to spoon feed you. You have to take some responsibility and read. It is hard to stuff up on this phone, just play around and flash away.
