You can use Check Fus (link above) or you could go to Intratech's thread to find the latest ICS without the Three "bulk".
BTW below is the latest Official build, located at the bottom of the 3rd post in intratech's thread:

(another quick edit) If you are in fact asking for a "best" ROM suggestion, please don't because the thread will get closed. Just a friendly word of advice.

Are you after a general stock ROM, or one that was made specifically for 3?
Also, Rizur your signature animation is amazing.

Now, I am using the CM7.1 ROM but the camera isn't work!!! I don't want to use the CM7.1 anymore and I want to flash the the original ROM(HK official ROM).How can I get the ROM and how to do that?
I want to know 'Is the way to flash original ROM same as flash CM7.1(put the CM7.1 into sdcard and setup)?'
Can anyone help me?
Yes. The process of flashing Stock ROM is same.
Here you can find the your Stock Rom/Official Firmware...

I have read this post before.He did that by used Odin.He didn't put the ROM into sdcard.This is the point that I don't understand.
odin do it from ur pc/laptop
cwm do it from sdcard
different file types
just dont know will he update the telecom nz firmware or not ==
have been looking for a long long time...
You means I can follow him to flash the rom?
If I need the ZSKG2,do I need to download XXKG1 too?
(I can't find XXKG1 to download in his post...)
Just download ZSKI3 from the link above:

Now I just need to down the ROM of ZSKI3 and the kernel of ZSKI3?I don't need to comprehend the XXKI3?
No. You download the official kernel if you do not have a USB jig available to you and you want to remove the yellow triangle at boot.
If you have a USB jig, skip the kernel.
Just download the big ROM file then flash it in the PDA section of Odin. It will automatically flash ZSKI3's firmware, modem and CSC into your phone.

Trying to flash stock HK firmware since encountering a boot loop
Sorry for posting in this old thread but I didn't feel comfortable starting a new thread. Hope everyone doesn't mind!
I am trying to deal with a boot loop error and wanted to get the official stock HK firmware. I didn't prep for this unexpected error properly but I don't have any info I can check under settings since I cannot get back into the main menu.
I got my phone in HK but I took it home to be on a Canada provider. I got it around Nov 2011. I am sure I had Gingerbread and I think it might have been Android 2.3.5. I DID NOT have any custom rom on my device to begin with.
I'm trying to find the difference between official firmware ZSKG2 and ZSKI3 and which one I should get. Does anyone have any insights?
Does anyone also know where I can get it?
The files became non-existent on this page:

Thanks Spiralzz! I was on the samfirmware site before without registering and I cannot find anything that matches Gingerbread. The matches I found are all Android ver 4.
I will try that and if I have any questions, I will come back on this thread.

Hey Spiralzz - I am on samfirmware and I cannot find lower than ver 4 for Android
I keyed in

I'm looking for the stock version I originally had, which should be Gingerbread. Would it still be okay if I used any of the above?

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

There are so many version there, I don't know which is appropriate for my phone.
Telstra has not released an update and there seems to be no plans to do so. The phone is still at V2.3.3. Great network, crap customer service......
I would like flash the phone with a genric rom so I can receive updates.
Can anyone advise me on what ROM I should use for Australia?
Any help would be appreciated.

The first link includes the rom (stock im guessing) along with the second link, which is just the kernel.
Are you trying to flash a custom rom, or just official, because the download link rom is probably no different than the one you currently have on your phone. (if you havent flashed any rom yet)
If you are trying to flash a custom rom, I dont think any custom rom allows you to get the official update. (might be wrong)
I see.....
What I am looking for is an official generic ROM that is suitable in Australia.
I used to have an SE X10 before it died and I had a generic ROM flashed from the DaVinci site.
This thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 has a truck load of official ROMs and many Frankenstein ROMs which I assume are the custom ROMs.
My understanding is that if you flash with a generic ROM, you will get official ROMs when they are released by Samsung and you don't have to wait for your doppy carrier to provide a their cutomised version.
Is this correct?
Yes. If you flash one of those official firmwares from either of Intra's threads, you should be able to receive OTA updates via Kies. You can also use a PC app called Checkfus (search for it on here) to get official updates normally available via Kies (if you can't get updates via Kies for some reason).
P.S - For future reference, questions go in Q&A

Dont flash the Frankenstein firmware then:
+++++++[Frankenstein Firmwares]+++++++
These packages below are not official firmware packages, they are Frankenstein package created due to demand for Firmware with different CSC and modems and also leaked firmware packages. KIES will not recognise the firmware so you won't be able to update to new firmware using KIES unless you flash back to a firmware meant for your device first. Otherwise there will always be Odin to use for updates

First - sorry - I know this gets asked all the time, and yes - I have read a large chunk of IntraTech's simply indispensable thread, but... While I am more than happy with the flashing of Roms and Kernels, I can't work out which the best (Firmware/Kernel) one for my phone is
I'm on the i9100, it is an unbranded one from CarPhoneWarehouse (grrrr! ) and they kindly left me with a kernel from the stone age! I have just flashed with I9100XXKL1 from Sam which is touted as an Open Europe 2.3.6, but it turned out to be a branded 2.3.4 - I'd much rather go with one from Intra's site, but it seems like he's still trying to get his stuff back online after the Megaupload disaster.
I will obv. be looking to root the phone, initially just with CF-Root 5.2. Which Kernel is best for me? (Not looking for ICS until the 'official' Samsung one comes out)
CFRoot thread. Use the kernel that corresponds to the "baseband" details in settings/about phone.

i would suggest you root the phone and then flash WANAM"s xwla4 stock and unbranded.
as for the kernel it is a matter of choice and what you need battery or performance.
Siyah kernel is great and RedPill kernel(thi is what i am using)

Thanks for those - I do like the look of Red Pill - I was hoping to go with the stock firmware, but if i can't track it down i may well go with Red Pill
Just realised that my Baseband (KG4) and Kernel (KG7) now don't match. How much impact will this have, and don't most of the packages normally do both?
Can anyone tell me what the latest Official unbranded Samsung Firmware is for the UK SGII?

Thanks for the reassurance on the modem/kernel matching.
I understand that it is quite painful to answer the same questions over and over, but as I mentioned in the 1st post, I have had a good root through Intra's thread (Stock Firmware) - if that's the one you mean - and I'm still a little unsure which one is best for me, I assume that...
I need a firmware with either XX or XW (UK)
I need one of the 2.3.6 ones (near the bottom of the exhaustive list)
The Firmware will flash both the Baseband and Firmware (PDA and Phone)
I can use any one that matches the UK and 2.3.6 bits
Given all of that, I can see the following that would work for me:
XWKK2, XWKK5, XWKL1 (Official?), XWLA4 (This one as it has no carrier branding?)
That's 4 that I can see that all seem 'correct' - Please can someone either give me the missing piece of the puzzle and tell me what I'm missing, or just say "the latest official firmware for your phone is..."
Please!
So, I put the LPH tar in PDA section of Odin and flash as normal like I would with GB builds?
I will do a full wipe and a back up, but would anyone suggest returning to stock GB first or just go with the flow?
Thanks
XWLA4
Android 2.3.6
There is no carrier branding
This package has: PDA: XWLA4| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: XEUKH2
Download: http://uploadmirrors.com/download/3V...I9100XEUKH2.7z
UK CSC so should work fine for you .

Perfect - thanks for that - been a real pain trying to work it out - especially as half the links were down
Sorry for highjacking the thread with my question. It was meant for Intra's thread where i shall post it again.
oops lol
No snags
All done - Flashed and Rooted - all looking good - thanks for all the help!
Hi Advisors,
Pls advise where can I find Stock Kernel Version GT-I9100TDCKH2 both insecure and original. I was informed the site multiupload.com/K03I6J79KX (Password: [email protected]), but I couldn't access the web at all.
Could you kindly advise?
Many thank in advance!
Use KH1 or KH3 to root your phone from the CFRoot thread (there is no KH2), so far as the original kernel goes, search for the entire rom on Samfirmware.com & you should be able to extract the kernel (zImage) from the tar.
Also, you may be able to download the original rom with the PC version of Checkfus (search for it on here/Google), depending on whether your carrier has issue a firmware update since this firmware you're looking for has been released, I.E Checkfus allows you to download the latest firmware for your carrier/country, if they haven't released an update since KH2, you should be able to download it with Checkfus & extract the kernel as above.
My GS2 Kernel Version GT-I9100TDCKH2, can I really root with
- CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KH1-v4.1-CWM4.zip
- CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KH3-v4.1-CWM4.zip ?
For original kernel, rom on samfirmware.com, could you advise which one?
My GS2:
- Device: GT-9100T
- Product Code: GT-9100LKTTHL
- PDA: I9100TDCKH2
- Phone: I9100TDCKF1
- CSC: I9100TTHLKF1
Kindly advice. Thanks!
Re: rooting with CFRoot, what did I say in my previous post ? (I'm not repeating it). So far as finding your firmware on Samfirmware goes, I have no idea which one you should use. I've never downloaded or used any firmware from there, and my stock firmware is different to yours because I'm in a different part of the world.
As far as I know, Samfirmware have their firmwares organised into carrier/country so you should be able to match up your current firmware with one from there.
If you're in any way unsure of what you're about to with your phone (this goes for the future as well as now), stop. And don't do whatever it is until the process is clear in your mind & you understand it fully without having it explained to you in minute detail.
I just wanna confirm again as I see different comment on the "XX" and "OXA" besides "KH1/2/3". Apologize if that annoys you.
Anyway, thank very much indeed for your advise!
As per this line in Chainfire's CFRoot thread:- "What matters most (KG1) in this case, is in bold. Try to find the matching file under downloads..." I.E the "XX" & so on is not important.
