hi all,
I have been using XXKI4 (full Stock) for a week now.
Is it me or this just the way XXKI4 behaving. I found that ZSKI3 is alot more stable than KI4.
When my tasker is switching from home to office and witching Wifi to Data, my skype seems to be more solid using the KI3.
Battery is about the same. may be abit better on KI3 (strangely enough).
Any opinions are much appreciated.
Cheers
ZSKI3 was Hong Kong Rom vs XXKI4 for International version.
I wouldn't put the Hong Kong version on my device just suggesting.
The Hong Kong/Taiwan (ZS) roms are compatible with other international Galaxy S II versions. You might be thinking of the mainland China (ZC) roms which are completely different and might screw up your phone.
As for the differences between ZSKI3 and XXKI4, Samsung doesn't release changelogs so who knows what the actual differences are. You might want to do a full wipe and see if that helps though.
Also I think ZSKI4 should be coming out soon, since Samsung canceled ZSKI3 on Kies for Hong Kong.
Does anyone have a download link for the ZSKI3??
That was my original firmware and since my phone won't boot up, I wanted to try flashing that back on to it.

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)

I'm on KG4 which is not in the list - i was hoping to flash my phone with the 'best' kernel then use gthe cf-root option but can't work out which one to use

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?

No modems are not matched to kernel

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!
Please can someone tell me the best unbranded UK Rom for the SGS2, i am currently running Lite'ning rom 1.1 and i am having problems with incoming calls breaking up.
Thanks mimic
Just go for the latest. Either "official" (probably XWKI4 XEU, quite old) or "frankenstein" (probably XWLA4 XEU, quite recent) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 or http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
Choice of ROM is very unlikely to do anything to what sounds like a modem issue.
Suggestion is change modem to a later one first KL1 works well for many .
Their is no best UK rom except later build is generally better .
ICS official release not the beta leaks will be with us very soon .

Hello, i'm from belgium, and just bought a SG2 from a friend, but i looked that he updated to ICS I9100XXLPS (which is for Poland) does it matter ?
Is there a better stock ICS rom for belgium ?
Thanks
Give the Nordic XWLPG firmware a try:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
An excellent rom with very little problems other than the occasional freeze (maybe app related)
No such thing as a best rom, please just search/read and try them until you find what works.
Thanks
Hi, I am looking for no brand ICS stock ROM for 9100P is there any? I only found branded roms from TIM,Orange,O2,...
Also if there is some custom rom (ICS or newer) which have full support of NFC, I would give it a chance. I tryed Vanilla Rootbox for 9100P and it didn't work well.
Thx

Thanks!
So the only one that seems to be no brand is the French version CSC: I9100PLPMLP5 right?
