When I type in *#1234# on my phone I get:
Code:
PDA: I9100XXKI4
PHONE: I9100XXKI4
CSC: I9100IXAKI4
I was hoping to update it to ICS from the current 2.3.5, but when I go to the Official Firmwares Thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278) I don't see any firmware for KI4 with ICS.
Can anyone confirm if ICS has been released for KI4? Is it possible to use another firmware without wiping the phone or risking bricking/stability problems?
Why would you expect to find anything related to KI4 for ICS? It's entirely irrelevant, it's just to do with when that particular firmware was released.
Here's an old post of mine: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19384876#post19384876
Thanks that makes a bit more sense now.
But when I'm looking down that page I see various XX releases, e.g. XXLPQ but how do I find one that matches my CSC? Or does it matter whether or not I have one that matches my CSC? (the phone was bought unbranded off Amazon.de).
Use CheckFus and enter the data of your phone. It will tell you about the latest stock firmware released for your phone. If it turns out it is what you want (ICS), you can download and flash it.

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.

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

Hi, I have looked endlessly to try to get a grasp on the concept of flashing but it seems to refuse to sink in for me, so I'm hoping maybe one of you more experienced in doing this can help me out. First off, I'm with Bell and my phone information (Still on stock) is as follows.
PDA: I9100MUGKG2
PHONE: I9100MUGKG2
CSC: I9100MBMCKG2
Basically, what I want to do is upgrade the firmware to 2.3.6, but preferably I would still like it to be an 'official' upgrade and from what I've read, it seems that it must NOT be a 'Frankenstein' firmware.
Then I'm only left with the...:

Is it safe for me to install this firmware even though I have a different phone model number and everything? Every guide I've looked at just says to pick ANY firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 so I don't know if that's true or not. If I installed this firmware would it change my CSC so that my phone would no longer work with my Bell carrier?
Thanks in advance...!
TLDR: Can I use this firmware update with my phone and would I still be able to use my phone with my current, Bell, carrier.
If you would like to help me, I would greatly appreciate it if you could use some links (preferably download links) in your response. Even if you don't want to help me, thanks for looking anyways!
i am also curious
Edit: Answer was given here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1453251
No, if you are on a carrier locked device then you must flash carrier specific stock firmware in order to save warranty otherwise its fine to flash pretty much anything
BTW you should have received official updates by now.
If you can elaborate more about your location then we can help you out.
Alternately you can also check out this thread, it its for Bell/Virgin Canada Specific devices

A friend of mine has a samsung galaxy s2 with basebandversion I9100XXKE4 and when i looked which version of android it was running i was surprised to see version 2.3.3 was installed. Because i had version 2.3.5 before i used another baseband version update to go to ICS ... Looking arround on the web i could not find a more recent version of Android for her phone. (btw also still no official ICS version for the i9100XXKI3) So I had on my phone a baseband version I9100XXKI3 and i updated using Odin with an ICS package which had I9100XXLPR baseband No problems until now. Now running CM9.
You guys think i can also use this (xxLPR)package to update her I9100XXKE4 ?
We both live in HK. Only difference is she is on PCCW and i am on Smartone

XX ROM series had plenty of official updates after 2.3.3, among them three ICS ROMs. Latest is LPW.
Just follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
and pick up whatever ROM you feel like (you may also follow your product code).

Yes, you can. Only thing is if you flash stock firmware for another region you may have problems getting OTA updates for your region in the future. Which isn't a huge problem as you can also simply flash these via Odin when they're released if you do have difficulties.
I've had a look at Checkfus (PC version) & it tells me most recent update for I9100/Hong Kong was ZSLPG on 06/04/2012. So I guess you could go with LPR like you did, or you could get Checkfus & use this ICS build, which might mean no problems with OTA updates in the future (but no guarantees).
Hi Droiders,
I use Galaxy S2 (Android 4.0.3). Last night I had rooted my phone successfully.
Now I want to update my firmware, can anyone provide compatible Official Stock ROM of Android 4.0.4 for my phone
Can I install any region Stock ROM while upgrading ?
Additional Details:
I am from India , my current OS is Australian region (XSA) unbranded
Model NO: GT - I9100
PDA: I9100XWLP8
PHONE: I9100XXLPS
CSC: I9100XSALP4
Appreciate your help ...
Thanks,

Couple of places you can get stock roms: Samfirmware.com, here (this site is better than Samfirmware IMHO) or with the PC version of Checkfus (search for it on Google/XDA).
Yes, you can install a stock rom for any region, but with one caveat. If you install a rom that isn't for your region, you may not be able to get future OTA updates from your carrier. Which isn't really a big deal because if your carrier does release a stock rom for your region, you could always download it with Checkfus & flash it with Odin (like almost everyone does on here).
