Official ICS Update for S2 in Pakistan
Hey guys!
I have a similar problem. I bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 from Saudi Arabia Last August. I've been waiting for the official ICS update for my phone since quite a while now. I am currently in Pakistan and even here my KIES says that I have the latest firmware.
The version is : PDA:KJ2 / PHONE:KI4 / CSC:KJ1 (JED)
I'm dying to use ICS on my phone and any help from the senior members will be much appreciated.
Cheers!
Your best bet will be to follow the links above, and search for custom roms. Is your phone currently rooted?

If kies is not showing any updates for your phone, the best bet is to use ODIN and flash the official ICS firmware of your choice.. Use this guide:

No I haven't rooted it yet.

I quickly went through the guide for now. I'll go through it in detail tomorrow. Just a little help...
I checked my phone firmware details:
Android Version is: 2.3.5
Basband Version is : I9100XXKI4
Kernel Version is: 2.6.35.7-I9100JPKJ2-CL655700 [email protected]#2
Build Number is: GINGERBREAD.JPKJ2
Based on the info I got to the conclusion that the applicable firmware for my phone is:
JPKJ2
Firmware info
PDA:JPKJ2
PHONE: XXKI4

Is that right?

You can get a stock firmware from www.sammobile.com and flash through Odin. There's a flash guide on the site too.

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.

It means your Brazil/Argentina firmware does not have an official update yet. If you want to change to a non-official stock firmware, everything you need is here: Official i9100 Firmwares KG, KH1/2/3/4, KI1/2/3/4/8, KJ1/2 Download.
BTW, that thread implies your firmware should be 2.3.4.

Hello all. I'm new to this forum. 1 week ago I bought Galaxy s 2 from Computer City in Denmark. It runs fine now, but can not upgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.3.5. Kia can not find 2.3.5. I have the following data:
phone:
Android 2.3.4
Current firmware: PDA: KI4 / PHONE: KI1 / CSC: KE1 (SMO)
Kia: Runs with v. 2.1.0.11112_41
Want your help on how I get on so that I can put 2.3.5.
PS: What is SMO for?

You can check it here => http://www.samfirmware.com/samsunglettercode.htm
But the CSC is not so important.
Here you can find Official Firmwares for the SGS2 (GT-I9100) => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Please read first post - Intratech has described everything you need to know on how to flash the latest firmware to your phone.
Do not use KIES, just download and use Odin (or if you want to root your phone first you can use Chainfire's Mobile ODIN app from the market).
The latest Firmware for the SGS2 is XWKK5 => Android 2.3.6.
You will find it as Frankenstein ROM in the third post.
And you can combine it with any Modem (baseband / phone part of the firmware) and CSC (regional / carrier customizations).
Good luck !
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

I can't see it listed under the stock roms is it the frankenstien one you mean?

Kies only gives an update to the phone that have been updated by the phone provider .
Once you change the product codes then you may not get further kies updates .
A stock Samsung rom via Odin will not void warranty .
