[Q] Which firmware to install? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, I am new here. I just returned i9100g for a i9100. Anyways as I look for the i9100 firmware at sammobile.com, there are tons of ICS available. Which one will I install?
Also I am in Bangladesh, however we get mixed region phones: Sometimes from Malaysia, Singapore, France, etc. How do I know which region I have, so it can guide to install the proper ICS.
I installed XXLPJ, everything works well, however I noticed that just like my initial i9100g, whenever I use the voice to setup alarm, it doesn't work. I fixed this problem when I installed the proper region firmware for my phone, which was French at that time. The problem is I don't know which region of the phone this actually is.
Any idea?
Thank you

I dont think different regional firmwares will make any difference in your alarm settings too...
you can check the firmware information by dailing *#1234#

ROM selection
you can have a look for the language supported by that rom, you can also go for custom rom, language information was given there that it support these many language.
Also i am agree with "zaheedahmed" that "regional firmwares will make any difference in your alarm settings" i guess this the bug with that version of ROM, so it better to upgrade your ROM.

Thanks for your responses. What do I need to look after after for the latest firmware, android version? Cause there are tons of 4.0.3

Flash to EU fw?

Hi,
so I've just picked up my Galaxy S Vibrant, imported from the US. Since I am a Norwegian I would very much like to flash to the European firmware with Norwegian language support. However, samfirmware.com site says that one "should ask in the forums" if ones phone is from the US.
So, is it safe for me to follow the regular guides and flash the phone to EU fw? Also, not sure if it's related, when I try to check my fw version (*#1234#) I get the message "Unable to process request"?
Thanks in advance.

Can any moderator please move this topic to that forum please. My mistake
Reported :/
How is it new though? KPT exists since some weeks if I'm not mistaken. And why does it say 2.3.4 when it's actually 2.3.3?
Its the CSC version I guess, but its from S5830XWKPT, which is 2.3.4.
Anyone using this version?
It say Europa but anyone know what languages it is? Swedish? Is it really official or leaked?

OK I see and for what zone is this one?
I still dont know how to read the lettercodes.....making no sense to me even after reading at samfirmware...
I answer it myself..........installed it and it was polish as first language after boot.
XEOKP2 - The XEO is assigned to Poland.
[STOCK] [EUR] S5830XEOKP2 - 2.3.4 official is fake
I tried it.
It is not 2.3.4, just 2.3.3.
It is however a nice release, and got rid of the operator's restriction for me.
It is a European multi language release.
It is working fine so far. The only thing to comment about it is that it comes with a couple of polish apps that are in polish (TV, etc...) But they can be removed installing some tools.

Official Version for ace

Hello.
I want to install a new rom that it an official version for my ace.
The problem is, that there are versions that specific for a country.
My question is which version i need for my country?
I live is Israel.
Thank you very much.
Go here and select your region. Then flash with ODIN.
Yes, but there is no my country. Is there a difference between the countries?
The csc file is differente between countries, that means system language, keyboard language and some preinstalled app.
If u want official check for upgrade with kies or via OTA on setting\info\firmware upgrade\update (eventually check the wifi option)
Thank you both very much

which ics?

just wondering which version of the ics update is the best/most stable for me to install on my uk unbranded (3114) phone?
been waiting ages now, and interested in trying ics, but who knows when the official update will arrive for the uk
the nordic combined is the one that's reccommended in one of the stickied threads....anyone from the uk have any experience with this? or should i keep waiting for uk generic update?
There're no differences between different countries firmwares other than some bloatware apps, hence the version number is the same for all.
You can flash any of them, and it will work in your country.

brilliant, many thanks
Well yes the version its the same, but some firmwares have pre-installed garbage i will never use
For me the best right now (I have tested all of them XD...) its the LT26i_6.1.A.0.452_NCB.ftf Nordic Combined its the one i found "cleaner" than the other ones

Unknown "LAO" firmware, please help noob flash

Hi,
I bought a G850EMW from China to work in the UK. It has Android 10 and works perfectly. However I would like to update to Android 12. I have seen guides for this involving downloading a Rom from LGRom.com.
My current phone is running "V20a-LAO-COM". LAO seems to be hard to find information about, and there are no LAO roms on the site. I saw on one forum a reference to "Latin Amercian Region".
My question is can I go ahead and flash my phone with a Rom from say Germany (DEU) or will this cause a problem (is this a "cross-flash") as I'm supposed to find a compatible "LAO" region firmware? I don't want to brick my phone, but I would like the latest security updates, battery improvements, etc.
Thank you.
