I got the Galaxy S2 from UK.
The firmware version is
PDA: I9100XWKE2
PHONE: I9100XXKDJ
CSC : I9100OXXKE2
Build Info: Friday May 6 07:48:55 KST 2011
When i connect to Kies, its says that this is the latest firware. Saw in may threads that KE7 is the latest.
Please help me install without using Odin.
KE 7 has not been rolled out by all providers yet .
Product code defines update ..
You can wait or use Odin .

i have downloaded I9100XWKE7_XEUKD1_XXKE4 firmware... Can i use this??

No...data and settings will not be erased....enjoy...
Thanks guys.. it worked.. Only one problem i find now..
KIES is not detecting the phone..
Is it because i installed the UK firmware in India ??
EDIT: It detects the phone.. But shows,
"This version of the device cannot be updated"
Product code no longer matches firmware on Kies server or their is as of yet no update .
jje
Flash one more time to get your csc replaced with ke7 version.
Where do i get the CSC file from ??
Any link please??
Hello
My sgs2 is an unbr./unl. O2 from the Uk now working on vodafone PT, in portugal
I have read thoroughly on the given instructions on the dev forum side and was able to flash in firmware XWKE7 - baseband XXKE4 using Odin 1.85 and also root it with superoneclick (thks again guys!), this is a small victory for me as I am a total newbie to android
Just was´nt still able to put away the yellow triangle but will try again later
Maybe I missed something somewhere else and this is newbie issues, but after reading carefully on those long (gladly!) posts I could not find out how to install a CSC file, the phone returns "unknown" and the only one available to install with the command *#272*Device IMEI# is of course O2U
So my questions are:
- what CSC file should be more appropriate for this firmware setup, for PT and/or vodafone PT ?
- How can I install it ?
thks in advance
I would just install a stock XEU(=UK) firmware, seems to be the fastest to be updated, you can find the downloads in the dev section
Hi,
I'm facing a slightly similar problem of unknown CSC & I would like to know how to install the CSC specific for my region. I have SGSII with the following info:
PDA: I9100JPKG3
Phone: I9100XXKG1
CSC: Unknown
Kernel version:
2.6.35.7-I9100JPKG3-CL388633
[email protected] #2In fact, I found on a separate thread the CSC file "csc_xsg_i9100ojpkg1" & I would use Odin to install in on my device. Can anyone help on that please & explain to me the steps? Will I lose any data?
Thanks...

Hi ninogui,
You should go with XEU for Portugal.
Regarding the yellow triangle, I ordered a jig from amazon uk to reset the flash counter and get rid of the yellow triangle. It's unexpensive and usefull to have around.
Around €10 with shipping included to Portugal.

Thanks JJEgan,
I checked the link but I couldn't find any trace for the JPKG3 firmware! I only found JPKG2 & JPKG5. Is the JPKG3 an official firmware? Will it be OK if I flash the "csc_xsg_i9100ojpkg1" file using Oden & kept the JPKG3? Or do you recommend I update to JPKG3 entirely?
you can flash the csc only if you are happy with the firmware you have.
If you want the latest official firmware you need to upgrade to xkg5.
First off i couldn't find an answer so i created this post so apologies if it is a repeat.
I FINALLY managed to connect my phone to that appalling software known as 'KIES'.
KIES informed me that the following firmware is available for me to upgrade to:
'PDA:KI4/ PHONE:KL1/CSC:KH2 (XEU)'
Could you help me as to where to find this firmware version. if it is official etc. Phone Details below:
Thanks.
I am from Wales,UK and purchased it from Carphone warehouse. Network carrier: Orange.
My Phone details:
android version
2.3.3
Basband Version i9100xxke7

Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 you can find all the different firmware for the samsung galaxy sII with a tutorial to install it !
Thanks for the link but i already have it. im just unsure of which one i need.
Kies is offering you the correct firmware but you dont want it .
In which case a stock Samsung firmware is required and that means any or to match KI4 from the link .
The CPW KI4 is posted

Thanks for your reply. I am currently Downloading the xwkI4 Firmware.
Is there a reason why i wouldnt want it?

If you would like to make unrooting , and you are interested in the Turkish language and english , download firmware here ; http://www.hotfile.com/dl/167719476/9ea79b8/I9300XXBLFB_I9300OJVBLF3_TUN.zip.html (Country/Carrier TUNISIA )
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/163063926/4b056f2/I9300XXBLFB_I9300OJVBLF3_EGY.zip.html (Country/Carrier Egypt )
Flash with ODIN...
Alternatively install the latest firmware and use this application to change the language https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wxLDMsImpwLmNvLmNfbGlzLmNjbC5tb3JlbG9jYWxlIl0
thanks for replying.. seems legit
but i wanna ask since that corresponds to egypt and tunis will my lebanese sim card work on it? or do i need to do something after installing the firmware to make my sim card supported?
All roms support all devices.
If you are interested you can flash the one for China or Mexico.
from the looks of it you don't have any special country-optimized rom installed anyway

Which country did you get your S3 from? Or which carrier? Some country/carrier might not providing the update yet. Check this list to see whether your S3 suppose to be getting the update or not.

I bought this phone in Pakistan. I have told everything in detail, please help me, why is my s3 still saying you got the latest firmware installed. XEMf6 build number, XXEMA5 is baseband...
You have the latest firmware for YOUR phone you wait for your provider to update .
That is the official update .
Alternative .
If you want to update then you flash a stock rom for your region from sammobile or samsung-updates or xda stock rom thread .
If your region has not been updated then flash any stock rom and test .
Your baseband shows as Gulf Countries origin see faqs and guides .

Oh no, Just installed KIES, it says too that firmware is latest installed. It shows me the following details
PDA: MF6 / PHONE: MA5 / CSC: MF1 (AFG)
It means my phone is for Afghnistan region, i am stuck, i think i will never get an update if this phone belongs from there....
If you won't follow the advice given then no, you won't.

Please read JJEgan post above you! You can flash and test other stock roms from different regions with odin (you do not need to be rooted to do this) But if you want to do a full backup (nandroid) of your current rom then you need to be rooted, if you just want to save pictures/music just copy them to pc and flash via odin >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/guide-odin-flash-guide-t1671969 <<

If you can't upgrade through kies, ODIN will be your only choice, and you dont need to root your phone for that.
