Hi guys,
have a question here
have a T-Mobile branded Galaxy S2 I9100 running 4.0.3. Due to the last update, i decided to flash the latest samsung stock rom in order to get rid of t-mobile branding and the possibility to update ( with Kies ) whenever newest rom is relased by samsung.
Followed the rules of flashing with odin given hier on the forum and everything went fine. Now if i check with *#1234# i get the I9100XENLP5 version of the firmware, which is good, but some problems remained and a new one appeared.
1- I didn't get rid of any bloatware apps of t-mobile and can't uninstall them either.
2- Connecting the phone to Kies does not show the firmware version of the cellphone but it says " Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies"
Is there a way to just flash the Galaxy S2 totally free of T-Mobile branding and after that to still be able using Kies for future updates?
Thanks in advance

No
Flash a stock rom will remove TMobile stuff
You may lose your Kies update path .
jje
just flash any of the roms from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487 that say unbranded on them
although i think you wont be able to update using kies but why would you want to anyway? Odin is so easy to use
Thanks guys for all your fast answers.
I solve it, found somewhere in another Galaxy S2 forum that after a flash you need to boot again in recovery mode and do a wipe/factory reset. This hepls to reset / rewrite the csc code ( TNL to XEN, in my case ).
This is from an other forum...
"One last final step is to change your CSC code by typing this code in the phone dialer *#272*<your IMEI># (the code will be listed at the top of the screen. If you're coming from O2 PAYG handset it should say O2U. Now Enter recovery (volume up, home, power keys together) and do a factory reset and choose reboot phone Check your CSC code again Hopefully it will now say XEU "
Maybe this final step can be added to the "Odin Flash guide " found on xda to prevent future threads like mine.
Cheers and thanks again

I couldn't find that here in the Intratechs user guide ( forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 ).
I used the XEN stock rom from his site, was no CSC file inside the archive itself beside the XEN rom.

Seeing as I`m still a relatively noobish poster I`m unable to ask this question in the relevant thread. I`ve just debranded the phone following the 8 step guide but I had issues following step 8 where you change the CSC code. I couldnt quite figure it out so step 8 never got followed. As a result, despite losing the Three branding on the phone I now have a phone that displays the CSC as "unknown" and may well explain why Kies cannot pick up the firmware version on the phone. If I follow step 8 and key in *#272*<your IMEI># on my phone it then shows me a screen headed "Preconfig" with "Sales Code" underneath and "H3G" in the box to the right. Underneath is a radio button thats deselected. if I press to highlight it then press "install" at the bottom of the screen I keep getting an error saying "Must be THREE chars".
Can anyone shed any light on this and give me any hope of rectifying?
Will I need to manually input the Three APN settings once I successfuly change the CSC code?
Thanks in advance. I have spent ages scouring the web but there`s not a great deal of info out there about the CSC part of the debranding process.
id like some more info on how important the csc is too, im got told it hold some carrier information but i dont know if that is true or not.
the reason you cant pick on is probably as since debranding you havent flashed the csc you need, you could find the one you need for your firmware over in the dev section.
Cheers for the reply, interestingly i`ve just re-flashed the phone and this time it is showing my CSC as XEU. Even so, I still cannot follow step 8. When I input that code including my IMEI in it shows XEU but when I press "install" it gives me the same old error of "Must be THREE chars". So not sure whether its worked or not and what diference it makes. At least Kies now shows something in the firmware field, even if it doesnt show what I was expecting. Hopefully someone can assist with this at some point later.

Hi there
If it says XEU after inputting the imei then it's working fine. You're not supposed to have to press install at this stage. Also to make sure it's working fine, I always boot into recovery mode. If you look down the code as recovery is loading, it will say which csc is being used/implemented (xue etc). Always reset data in recovery after rom flash from (especially from different csc.
I've had issues in the past when I flashed back to T-Mobile (after originally flashing ke7 stock) and then back again to T-Mobile. When I re-flashed back to stock after this, I couldn't get it to change from tmu (t-mobile) csc back to xeu, no matter how I flashed it. In the end the only way I could revert csc back to xeu was using the jig I had purchased. Apart from resetting the customer binery counter, it seemed to reset other settings, as once I had done this, I was able to install stock ke7 with xeu csc.

Cheers for that. I just did a recovery as you suggested and saw it was done using the Multi-CSC so hopefully that means its all sorted.
Does this mean I should now be able to see the latest Firmware update available in Kies?

Yes you should be able to see the latest available update for your csc via kies. Although kies seems much slower to get the updates. It's much easier to use Odin. Most people update by this method. It's really easy and pretty safe.

The csc will be sorted now. Also if you plug your phone into kies, this will confirm what csc you are using.

Cheers Redbullman. I can get into Kies now but on the firmware information section it says "Current Firmware Version : PDA:KDD / PHONE:KDH / CSC:KD1 (H3G)"
Its not telling me there`s a firmware update available so I have a horrible feeling something`s still not quite right but I`ve flashed it twice now and done 2 factory resets.
Would it be easier to find the stock KE7 kernel (forgive me if I`m using the wrong words) in Odin to flash it that way? If I can manually do it then I`d rather do it that way. Only problem is I`ve not yet found any tutorials on doing that, unless its the same (mostly) as the tutorial for debranding, except using a different .tar file (KE7).
Hi Guys,
My Galaxy S2 came with KE7 I bought it in the UK and it's not branded to any network, I flashed CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEU_KE7-v4.0-CWM4 and then the stock kernel and all was good.
A while later I tried to flash the clockworkmod from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693 ... that flashed OK but I couldn't get into the CWM recovery so I flashed the CF-Root back.
The recovery menu now works, but I still have the warning triangle on boot (I have tried reflashing the stock kernel again). This in itself doesn't bother me too much - I did this a month or 2 ago.
I've been told by someone that there is an upgrade available via Kies, however when connecting the phone Kies on Windows just tries to connect for ages and then gives up. (I have disabled USB debugging). Not that it should be relevant but I have previously removed Kies.apk, KiesAir.apk and kieswifi.apk using g-script but I put these back before trying to do this.
My phone currently reports:
Android: 2.3.3
Baseband: I9100XXKE4
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE7-CL215725 [email protected] #2
Build: GINGERBREAD.XWKE7
Looking at these values, is the mix of XX and XW correct? (It's possible that I might have downloaded the wrong CF-root version the second time)
All I would really like to do is get the official version Samsung version and then root the phone. I believe that the Kies upgrade would still keep all applications.
Any help would be much appreciated.
You can find official, stock roms in the development threads

Thanks.
I've seen the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 but I'm not sure which is the correct stock firmware for me.
Given the other issues I've described above I'm a bit 'concerned' that I've already done something wrong :S
EDIT:Re-editting my post cos Im blind and cant read good
Sorry dude I got all screwed-up there I have ta apolagize.Anyway you can download the one i told you and all will be cool as its a UK+Europe generic as stated and its XWKF3 but you are indeed on KE7 and you will find it here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
its XWKE7 ,Build Date 18/05/2011 generic XEU
.TO root go to this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
its a kernel flash via odin that takes,from hitting the start button,about 10 seconds to complete.It roots and puts CWM on your phone.The kernel you want is one of the first ones (xx-xeu-ke7).You Cant go wrong its all explained.
EDIT: You can also check to see if it really is unbranded by checking your product code by typing this number and checking the last 3 letters of your code *2767*4387264636#
Thanks very much. The PCode I have is GT-I9100LKAXEU.
I'm going to try the latest KI3 and see how that goes, failing that I'll reflash the I9100XWKE7_I9100XXKE4_I9100XEUKD1 I've just got (I note that this lists KE4 and KE7 in the filename, which does match the version I currently have).
The important part about your code is the XEU which is your local CSC.this is recognized by kies when you connect.The first thing Kies does when you connect is rcognize this code to identify the phone and look for the appropriate firmware update.When you flash a new firmware if its not official obviously kies wont understand it cos it doesnt register.Your Product Code says your phone is a UK model (XEU) so for example if you flash an official firmware and by default the phone sets KOR then kies has 2 conflicting CSCs and thus might decide not to connect.If you want your phone to work properly on kies then when you flash an official FW make sure you have XEU selected as your CSC marking *#272*(IMEI)# this will then reboot your phone although its always good to do a factory rest too.Do this anyway although not on an official FW as it might not always set the CSC to your area so it pays to check.
This is what Kies looks at for an upgrade .

So I tried updating my phone through KIES since I knew 2.3.5 was available for my phone, and it failed to update, so I tried to go into recovery mode, but I don't get that far, I only get to a screen where it shows a mobile phone and a computer wired together and the wire has a warning sign (like if it has no connection to a PC).
The phone is bought through Telenor in Sweden, if it needs a new firmware or something, can I get some directions?

Since it's only 2 weeks old and I can't survive without a phone, I want to give it a try to do it myself (since I guess this is exactly what they will do themselves anyways, right?)
Any help finding the right one? I checked http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928 and didn't find Sweden under "Telenor", but found Norway. Not sure if there is a "Nordic" version.

Same thing happened to me!
I would recommend just flashing CM7 or other custom ROMS, now that you're going to have to mess around.
Download lightning ROM + ODIN (it's in the same thread), flash it, should work fine, and you also have a rooted phone. From there on, try things out, before deciding to go back to samsung official Roms.
My experience with the HD2, is that "support" for custom Roms seems to be way better (and Kies sucks!)
Hope you're lucky and everything works out.
Just don't get nervous
(PS: Download mode is vol down+home+power)

Downloded the STOCK KERNEL and it contained Kernel_I9100XWKI4.exe (which I extracted which gave me Kernel_I9100XWKI4.tar), should I put this in PDA in ODIN and just press "Start"?
Also, how long time would you estimate it to take?
[EDIT]: checked the italian video in that thread and downloaded XWKI4 OXX MultiCSC (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278) and then I do as he and put that in the PDA slot in odin and press start, now let's see if anything happens.

Hi there can't post in Development so here will have to do...
Ex SE Satio user moved over to android SGS2 and got one late last year from CPW (Car Phone Warehouse), Unlocked and with cpw stock firmware, I think it was XEU or one of the general ones, I rooted it using odin and was happy as larry, until the proximity chip failed, so I rehashed it back to Out Of Box and sent it back.
Great Then then sent it back with a different firmware, I'm still getting my head together with this but I'm sure I cant find it? and there is hardly anything online about it.

Well if you want to root flash a cf root kernel via odin from the original development thread.
Also check out infratechs thread to see if he has this firmware there incase you need to revert back, once rooted just make a backup via CWM either via recovery mode or using the CWM app that comes with cf root.

But I thought that when you rooted your device it had to be identical, I could flash Ice Cream, but then I wouldn't have anything to back up to if my device blobs?
O2 say's I shouldn't have this firmware and so does Samsung, Kies actually said..
"Your device does not support software upgrading via kies"
I's that odd?
Don't worry about it, if you've got an o2 model just flash the latest UK firmware for o2, again in infratechs thread or maybe sammobile. You can flash o2s CSC anyway that will give you back the splash screen and such.
For now if you want to root, cf root is the easiest then flash away using CWM any of the plethora of roms available.
I suggest you flash a stock rom from Infratechs thread so you can update to the latest if you want LA2, then use CF Root to root. Then if you want ICS just flash that via CWM.
You can also use Checkfus (search on here) to find/download the latest firmware for your phone/carrier.

Its not O2 firmware its CPW firmware CPW is the clue
KD was a very very old firmware May 2011
What has the firmware to do with O2 its not an O2 phone .
UPGRADE CHOICES
One ask CPW service for an upgrade
Two wait for KIES upgrade if CPW upgrade KIES .
Their should be a CPW firmware and most definitely an O2 Firmware in the branded providers rom section .Or via CheckFus that should give you a backup of whats on the phone .

As you said JJe, it is a CPW rom, and I knew it was an old one, but it's odd that CPW are sending refurb phones out with such an old ROM on it. I've decided to bite the bullet and go with the original ROM that I got with my first phone...
Product Code: GT-I9100LKACPW
Version: Android 2.3.3
HIDSWVER: I9100XWKE7/I9100CPWKD1/I9100XXKE4/I9100XWKE7
Bypassing this and going for...
I9100XWKI4/I9100CPWKH1/I9100XXKI1/I9100XWKI4 (2.3.4)
This is the original firmware plus KIES update to 2.3.4! I know that CPW were sending NEW phones out with this, so this will have to be my BackUp If my hardware blobs.
I'ts a shame I couldn't find the original ROM/Kernel. Checkfus did come in handy after all.
Many thanks for your help and patience you 3.
Now I just got to cope with FBI shutting down MEGAupload, as most of the Rom's etc reside there.
hey ya, lets say someone i know (wink ;D) is employee at carphone warehouse, and to tell you a fact, the repair centres tend to care very little if youve changed the firmware, at most they will charge you £10 to 'upgrade' the software to the latest official release, if you cant find it, i really wouldnt worry to much, most staff dont even realise what the yellow non stock firmware triangle is, though i would be sure to get rid of it just incase you get one clever clogs but for the most part, no big worry really
Just my luck flashed new ROM and i'm gettin "The process.com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" every 5 minutes when i'm navigating through menus and that.

Make sure you have wiped data/cache and dalvik cache via recovery (If you have CWM recovery) otherwise pick a rom from the stock rom thread that says wipe, flash it via odin, then flash the new rom you want.

Turns out that it's incompatible with my sim card, the phone works fine when I remove it, but as soon as I put my sim back in I get the same error?
CF-rooted fine,CWM etc ok, but still this error, might have to try another ROM
Sussed It!
Flashed to XXI1, then flashed the CF-Root Kernel and wiped it, looked like veyka, it was my Backup that I was Restoring, because now it works fine with the SIM card, something from the Backup from that ROM was incompatible with XXI1!
Got just a DATA backup on CWM from main backup, will see what I can restore safely!
Got Yellow Triangle, no Jig. will try SuperOneClick method

Normally appears when you have a kernal rom combination that does not correspond to the phone carriers current loadout.
Is the phone absolutely stock - no flashing been done by you?
If you have not done anything and you bought it from a store take back and ask for a replacement because you cant guarantee the security of the phone.
If you have flashed it - then flash the phone provider stock rom using Odin and you should be about to update it using KIES - personally I would rather download the latest rom and flash directly with odin or mobileodin as Kies updates can take upward of 3 hours.
Check the link in the reply above it has everything you need.
Thanx
Thanx guyz
flashed the kernel and its working fab
Which ROM you utilized to flashing your phone, because I'm in the same situation
