Okay so long story short I was stuck in bootloop so I restored my phone back to like 3 months ago and now when I try to upgrade it back to ICS from 2.3.6 in Kies it says I cant it gives this error:
Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies.
Current fireware version : I9100XWKI4/I900XEUKH2/I9100XXLPS/I9100XWKI4 (XEU)
Please help and tell me what I must do I am so lost

See what you get
I think you will get Lps in phone which is modem.
Just flash the stock modem back and you will get kies working.

You lost me there LOL how can I fix the modem via Odin? I would also like to upgrade to ICS via Kies since the downloads are so slow over here via Kies would be a lot faster, I download at 350kbs but when I download the full files for use with Odin it only goes at 50kbs soooooo how can I fix the modem? I am downloading a firmware flash will that fix it all?
Just get the UK ICS from Sammobile and flash using Odin. Or use checkfus download.
or wait one hour, I'll post some links, on the move now
Sent from my GT-I9100
Well my phone is the international version so I really don't know which one to chose from sammobile.com :/ The only UK version without a carrier in parenthesis is: I9100XWLP7 4.0.3 2012 April I9100XEULP5 United Kingdom / Ireland
m8 jus download modem frm modem collection and flash it or use cwm ...its simple as tht.or roll back one step behind frm current firmware an then everything is stock again....cheeeerz
Link please for the modem collection? Also explain which one to use please I don't want to screw my phone up anymore then it already is :/
ANOTHER THING!!! ... I live in Dominican Republic, so if I use Check Fus and download the Dominican Republic one can I flash it and it will all change to DR and work again via Kies to upgrade to ICS? Sorry I'm such a noob

1: if you want to save something save it on pc or external sdcard
2: dial *2767*3855# it will wipe your phone to factory defaults
3: learn how to use odin
4: download that ICS file uk/ireland thats fine
5: using odin flash it will be fine and you get ICS stock
6: after reboot dial that code again
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
you can use sammobile and checkfus
you can flash any rom for i9100 it will work
you dont waste your time for finding modem and flashing when at the end you want ICS.

Hello all, and sorry for my newb-ness!
I was looking around for making my SGS2 "legal" again, flashing it with entirely "old" firmware, but the firmwares i found here, are not fitting the original description i have.
my phone ran (XWKI8 before rooting and flashing new firmware to it)
but the problem is;
[ROMS]Official i9100 carrier branded firmware download for Odin Flash
The only fitting my phone and operator is from the SP (3), where mine is Telia...
I even tried getting the ones from 3, but as the download links doesnt work, im pretty lost, can someone help me?
XWKI8: http://www.multiupload.com/H975DHZQLE
Firmware info: PDA:XWKI8| PHONE:NEKI2| CSC:HTDKI1
XWKI8 Stock Kernel:http://www.multiupload.com/4O6DVGUGSU
Password: [email protected]
can i just flash either one from "telia" and then update normally via kies, or whats the best solution?
i want the SGS2 so legal that i could turn it in to my provider for service!
or any firmware for Telia
or can anyone link to me to any firmware hardcoded with telia's info?
none of the ones linked in this forum, or others are valid... downloads just doesnt work, HELP

Are you based in Denmark? If so, then this would be the latest Telia fm from that thread. KK5 is newer than KI8.
Yeah... but the download link doesnt work!
and thats my problem, because i CANT find it anywhere
thanks for the reply though, but if you find a working download link for the KK5 it would be much appreciated!

You'd need the stock kernel relating to the rom, I've had no need to service so not sure, if anyone else who has had previous experience on this could help.
thought as much... and all the download links relating to the XWKK5 are busted
think im am going to try this one, until i find a legal one
http://download.chainfire.eu/54/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OXA_KK5-v5.0-CWM5.zip
Try Checkfus. There's a thread on here, search for it.
what should i do with that?
i dont need to check if there is an update, i just want either an older version kernel/firmware from Telia Denmark
which is working, so that i can update the old fashioned way!
or what was you intention with checkfus?
You can download the KI8 firmware with Checkfus. Try it & see

Nope. You can download them. I tried it late last week & downloaded VAUKJ1 for ****s N giggles. The download/decryption of the firmware works perfectly.

what to do if a Odin firmware upgrade hangs?
it hasnt been moving for a few minutes now, still stuck at the <ID:0/005> data.img part
just wait it out, or any other ideas?
can i abort it, and start over with one i know works?
Sadly... checkfus was of no help
but i got my phone running on the XWKK5 firmware, and it works ok!
but still not the best solution, i simply need the KI8 for Telia

Can you give me an example of how to fill out the info in CheckFus?
because its says error every time...
i've tried an exact copy of this:
Firmware info: PDA: XWKK5| Phone: XXKI4| CSC: OXXKJ3
help
In my case, in the standard tab I chose Android/GT-I9100T/Australia (Vodafone), then I clicked on check firmware. Checkfus told me KJ1 was the latest available, I clicked download, waited for it to download the firmware and at the end of the process it automatically decrypted it.
Which gave me a zip containing a tarball (just like the firmware in Intratech's thread) I can flash in Odin if I ever need to go back to stock.
See... I didnt notice if my phone is a regular GTi9100 or a -T, -N or whatever the options are, how do i find such info, because i was so smart not to make a backup of my current settings :-(
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
So... now i came this far:
my phone is:
Baseband :I9100XXKI4
Kernel : I9100XWKK5
so far so good...
but i have trouble appending the predictive and T9 dictionary... are there any addons i can get for these, because i really want to be able to use dictionary in my language (Danish + German and English)
please help
Nvm---
Found the solution (or rather the Firmware)
found an unmodified version, that had multilingual
thanks for ALL the help, greatly appreciated
btw, how to thank ppl in here?
Hey happy people out there!
I hope you are doing well. Since January 29th I have got a S2 phone which is almost brilliant. It is worth the money - definitely.
Unfortunately my phone is running on 2.3.4 and there is no update available in Kies.
I would like to update because people say that the battery management is much better on 2.3.5
My phone specifications:
PDA: I9100XWKI4
PHONE: I9100XXKI1
CSC: I9100DBTKH1
Build Info: 14. Sep. 2011 KST 2011
I was searching the last two days to find the appropriate update but there are so many different types of firmwares that I am not sure which one is the right for my phone. So that I need advice of some professional people.
So thanks in advance and all the best!!

I had XWKE7 (UK), which is 2.3.3 when I bought the phone, and a few months ago, I updated to XXKI3 (Poland), which is 2.3.5.
I am in the US.
So it MAY make a difference, but probably won't.
EDIT: What I meant was, it MAY make a difference what country firmware you flash, but it may not. Some have reported that flashing a firmware that includes modems specific to one country, can result in signal issues if you are in a different country, because some modems are better suited for the particular frequencies in use in specific countries. That said, if you flash a firmware for a different country, then have signal issues, you can just look at the modem thread and flash modems more suited for your country to "fix" your signal issues.
I have a XXLP6 (4.0.3 ICS) from sammobile. Its quite stable. The only issue is the radio not working but everything else is ok

Multiupload has been shut down permanently.
That looks like one of Intratech's "frankenstein" packages. You'll probably not be able to find anywhere that particular package with that combination of PDA, (XXKI4) Modem, (XXKI4) and CSC. (XEUKH2)
However, I9100XWKI4, which has PDA XWKI4, modem XXKI1, and CSC XEUKH2, is available on both samfirmware.com, and skywanker.net.
I don't really understand why wouldn't you just upgrade to the last 2.3.6
XWLA4 that is. You will lose nothing and your phone will run better.
My two cents.
Get it here.

You are WAY overcomplicating things.
Do not use .pit or repartition unless you absolutely have to, and know what you you are doing.
Put the one .tar file in the PDA section, and flash. Done. Use the one victorator linked above. It will work, and is a one file package. (search the linked page for "XWLA4")
If you used a 3 part file before, that's fine. You don't NEED to use a 3 part file again to re-flash. The singular .tar file will contain all the components you need.
EDIT: Actually, above you said:

So the PDA XWKI4, did you download it from samfirmware.com, or skywanker.net? If so, that is a 1 part file, and will contain the CSC and modem within it. Just put that in PDA and flash. Leave everything else blank.

What do you mean it does not boot? Does it get stuck on the boot screen? Try a full wipe after the flash. You will lose all data, but more often then not, it will boot after this.

You meant CSC, not crc, right?
And take a look at the file name "I9100_XEU_I9100XWKI4_I9100XEUKH2_I9100XXKI1.tar.md5". If you notice, it has "I9100XWKI4" (PDA), "I9100XEUKH2" (CSC), and "I9100XXKI1" (modem) all in the filename.
EDIT: maybe you should just go here.

STOCK is SAMSUNG firmware .
If you want 3uk firmware then restore your original saved rom.
Not bothered to save it then CHECKFUS is probably your route to 3uk firmware .

If you as the owner don't know then nobody else will know .
Just guess at a version of 3uk firmware for your location .
Or ask on a 3uk forum what is your firmware .

KI8 is the newest Gingerbread Three ROM apart from the ICS build released today.
I don't have it to upload though, I only have I9100XWKE1 which is a very old build, But if you can't find KI8 Three stock anywhere I'll upload it somewhere for you.
[edit] Infact I have KI8 on my PC if you can't find it online let me know.
Personally though I'd just flash LP7 much better than LPQ that Three have released today & not as much bloatware!
Because I am a really nice person, Don't complain about speeds this was the first link that would let me upload over 300mb

Unzip first & then Flash with Odin3 PDA mode.

Make sure to wipe cache etc
I have a problem with my S2 phone.
Last week the official ICS was available in Norway, and I wanted to check it out.
But when I download it, it stops installing at 11%.
I have downloaded and installed the firmware for my phone, but still didn't work.
Anyone have had any similar problems with the new update?

Hello arni3, maybe you chose the wrong firmware or did something wrong on the way.
Are you still able to enter download mode ?
If Yes, follow this tutorial on how to Unroot/unbrick your Galaxy S2 to ICS.

If No, your phone is bricked. I suggest you bring it to Samsung.

Hello, thanks for your answer.
I have been watching that video now and it tells me to download ICS stock ROM. Is the stock ROM different from phone to phone or is it the same which one I get? I live in Norway, Europe.
Thanks!
1: if your phone says i9100 under battery, go get another rom i say la2/la4 and flash again using odin.
2: read again where to put the file.
3: if u got i9100G ur flashing wrong firmware. u need to fix that issue now.
all this if u can get download mode

Sorry for being unclear, but I meant:
I have installed new firmware to 2.3.5 (had ress ICS earlier). that works, but when I try to install the official ICS through Wi-fi, it stops after 11% and gives me a message that it couldn't complete the update.
downloaded this:

Do not use WiFi is the solution .

Arni I live in Norway too and i think is that firmware that is maybe wrong ! How did u manage to unpack it anyway ? Tried 7zip and on my mac unzip, that archive has errors. odin refuses to accept it after md5 check. so something must be wrong there ...
downloaded it like 5 times. impossible to unpack with 7unzip in windows, only in mac it unzips but ..the rest is dead

I downloaded the new firmware via OTA on my rotted phone, and it didn't install. I re-rooted it with CF-Root 6.3, but now If I check for software update it says "no update available." The build though is still the old I9300XXALE8 instead of ALF6, so I guess it isn't updated.
Is the updated firmware file saved somewhere, and if yes can I install it via CWM?
What else can I do?
Thanks
Jay
umm you could try sammobile or this link to go directly to sgs3 european official roms
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9300&r=1#regiona
and flash it using odin/mobile odin. Mobile odin would probably be better as you can keep root when u flash it
We have a stock rom post look there first .

I'm assuming that you are refering to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
However, I have similar questions as the original poster.
I have CF-Root rooted stock firmware (Sweden, unbranded) and would like to update to the latest available (OTA failed). I know that I can download from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com, but I have no idea which one to use.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9300&r=1
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9300
What has to match? CSC, Country/Carrier? Please enlighten me.
Well I'm new to the galaxy series so I couldn't be 100% sure about what you need to match to be sure you get right one. But I do know if you've used cf root you can still connect to kies, you could connect and either check firmware upgrade version then download that vers from one of the sites or update your phone with kies then type *#1234# in the dialler then using that info download that vers of the firmware to have in the future.
If you do go kies option you'll most likely need to cf root once upgraded and I can't be 100% sure it'll work as I updated my phone with kies before rooting but I know cf root doesn't change anything major so kies should still be able to upgrade.

I'm trying to avoid using Kies. Don't want to install it even. Still "download from one of the sites" is not too assuring. How do I know what sites to trust?
Also, my question was rather does me download have to match entirely or is it enough with the same region?
E.g. one of the links above has the Italian LF6 as latest version. Can I use that?

well i use sammobile as its the one quoted in the cf root post under the uninstall instructions, I didnt know about samsung-updates till today. Well u could just install kies to see what firmware code its showing as the upgrade then uninstall. Im just checking sammobile at mo for ya
edit:- when u type *#1234# into your keypad whats the 3 codes it spits out?
I checked the sites out and it seems only the full roms are available. Actually I'd prefer just to flash the firmware so that I don't loose all my apps and settings. Or is there a way around this? I realise it's a lame question, but I'm new...
Here is the result of *#1234#
AP: I9300XXALE8
CP: I9300DXLE8
CSC: I9300LBALE5
Thanks for the help

Yeah there orig samsung roms(firmwares), trick is to get the one for your country/region
Ok , if your sure the updated firmware should be a ALF6 version theres only 2 on sammobile
1. Germany unbranded
2. Italy
Wheres about are u from?
Have you tried the kies update method i mentioned earlier?
Kies is samsungs official software for managing your samsung android device it can sync contacts, backup data etc etc but also to update official firmware.
http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP
I have it installed but not using it for backups etc just for when firmware updates are available.
Youve used cf root so the kies method should work ok but youll just need to reroot afterwards.
After several attempts, I managed to use Kies... I had to use a different USB port and it worked.
Thanks a lot!
