Hi
my current rom is gingerbread 2.3.3 with baseband I9100XWKE1.
Saudi Arabia Unbranded GT-I9100 GT-I9100LKAHAJ
I am thinking of changing the baseband with STOCK UK (United Kingdom (Vodafone)) i.e. using odin changing the rom to uk vodafone.
Please tell me with are the pros and cons of doing it. will i brick my phone, what will happen to IEMI.
In my opinion changing firmware is not dangerous when done properly, I changed also from my national version to Uk and nothing bad happend. Anyway maybe do some more research about it and ask more people, opinions can vary and I dont want to be responsible.

be sure you have i9100 under the battery
than goto www.sammobile.com or use checkfus downloader
get the stock ROM you want and flash using odin.
for your own safety stay away from LQ5 rom.
if there is no specific reason, instead of getting a vodafone version try to get unbranded ROM's

He doesn't want to change it, he is asking what well happen to it, as he never flash before.
IMEI will not change if done properly.

Hi guys.
When flashing firmware through odin, sometimes there are 3 files to be flashed, and in certain cases only one (pda). Why is that?? I flashed 2.3.4 android using odin with only one .tar file, but now for 2.3.5 there are three files. I live in austria, and I flashed the "official" austrian version. Whats the difference between those versions? I am on austrian tmobile, and i wouldnt like to loose the network settings? Can someone clear this mystery for me, since I am really confused?
Thank you guys in advance!!

hi,
when you have one file, it means it has all been packaged into one and you flash it under the PDA section of odin,
when you have the 3 seperate files you put them into their individual sections in odin.
- Don't select Re-Partition!
hope this helps
Thank you for your reply!
It is definately helping. But, what does it mean the firmware that i flashed is for austria? They released 2.3.4 for many countries... Why does it matter? Whats the difference between this one and firmwares for other countries?

Official Austrian version is Android 2.3.4 and the XXKI3 for Poland is Android 2.3.5.
So what will happen if I flash the polish version? I am talking about firmwares in general, even the 2.3.4... Why did they separate it that way? Isnt it pretty much the same for all the countries?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
dude,VERY IMPORTANT WARNING what "intratech" has given you.Do not select re-partition unless you are using a pit file.You are not so DO NOT tick this box or you will brick your phone.
Ya i figured that from all those different flashing guides... Thanks though... Do u maybe have an answer to my question about android version for different countries? Would it make any difference if I installed the polish 2.3.5 version on my austrian galaxy s2?

Language and networks main difference .

So, is flashing the polish version going to mess up my internet over network? Is it going to delete my network settings?

So can I just flash the android version (PDA), and the baseband (Phone), without flashing the CSC?

Yes if you want just flash firmware without CSC or change CSC after .
Or look in that thread for a multi csc or Frankenstein rom to fit .

thanks man I still don't understand what csc means but it's okay... I'll just wait for the official version to come out

ANy help would be greatly appreciated. I just want to get back to the original where i can update through Kies...

I have yeah, I'm just not sure which one I need?
read the country or provider
and see codes that stand for which country and u should find right 1
or get latest version build...
as only changes in those will be newer might be stable and different would be crapware which are different in different roms most of times.. and one more regional languages might also be missing in other region roms

Try an Asian firmware, since it's closest. Do you remember your baseband version before flashing?

No, I'm afraid not. I figured I wouldn't to worry since I made a backup of all the original with CWM. For some reason, anytime I try to restore it, it just boots up whatever ROM I happen to have going at the time. Very frustrating
Latest NZ FW:
PDA:S5830XWKS9
Phone:S5830XWKS3
CSC:S5830VNZKP5
I have CWM backup, let me know if you still need it or not.

Check CSC NZKP5 (my post a page back). It is NZ stock rom. Baseband is XWKS3. That's the rom when I got my phone unless you've got parallel imported one.

Baseband is identity like Your name "whatever" is your identity from same mean baseband is identity u can say of phone of your firmware like nokia having symbian and you yourself known symbian baseband is of nokia or u can say that os of nokia viceversa baseband is firmware if u break base+band you yourself knows baseband
baseband also includes country operator like i live in india and my phone baseband is DDKQ6 it represents indian os of samsung. Samsung is properiator of firmware DDKQ6 all updates toward india goes to this firmware or u can say that baseband is an interface B/W ur hardware your phone without baseband your phone is like a dead body because all thing can operate over baseband
hope now u understand
Baseband = Modem that identifies your region and carrier apps/modifications

Thanks a lot..
Do dis have anything to do with device brick??? (just wanted to be sure)
thanks in advance..
Can't guarantee you 100% (try at your own risk)
I did this every time and I can still use my phone
My first rom was from Romania 4.0.4
Then I changed to Poland, Norway, France, UK in 4.1.1 and then to Poland in 4.1.2
Now I am on Italy(vodafone) 4.1.2
So choose yourself
I suggest you should update directly to 4.1.2
4.1.2 is much stable and has better battery life
