Go to sammobile.com and look for the region you like. Download their official Samsung firmware and flash it via Odin.
It's perfectly safe since they are official. I came from 4.0.4 and flash a different region firmware 4.1.1. All went well. HTH.
Be sure to factory reset it after flashing the new firmware so that it will lock to the new region code

Thanks a lot for your kind reply.
As long as you are using the I9300, and you are flashing a ROM for the I9300 then it will be fine.

Hi guys,
I successfully managed to root my UK SGS2.
Now system info says:
Baseband version: I9100XXKE4
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513
[email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKE7
And here's my questions:
1- how can I now update the phone to new firmware versions?
2- can I still use Kies or will I lose the root or brick the phone?
3- is the version I have installed the last one?
4 basically can anybody give me some "definitions" so that I don't mess up anymore baseband/kernel/firmware/rom concepts?
thanks a lot in advance!
XWKE7 is latest for now.
You can update using ODIN or KIES. If you install stock ROMs, you will lose root access, but it's easy enough to regain it with CF-Root
ROM = PDA = main system software image
RADIO = MODEM = the software used to control the baseband on the phone
SBL = BOOTLOADER = the secondary bootloader used when loading up the phone
CSC = Carrier/Network specific settings and customisations (Carrier Specific Customisations is the abbreviation iirc)
So in order to understand what's my latest firmware version I have to look at this?
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKE7

So if mine is GINGERBREAD.BUKE1...?
I'm trying to get my head around it all, and frankly vodafone seem to have made it more confusing. Why couldn't Samsung force them to jsut have the phone with no crap on it in the first place!
Hey pulser ! I come from the HTC Hero board, so I'm a little confused with those step for flashing the SGS2 but I'm happy anyway to see people I already know
So I'm a bit lost and ask myself if flashing in this way will work ? PDA : XWKE8 / PHONE : XXKE4 / CSC : Default (I can't find a CSC that fits for a french SFR phone...)
Sorry for my odd english :/
How do you update the firmware?
my current build is : GINGERBREAD.XWKDD.
When I plug in the usb it shows the files in the phone but does not come up with any firmware update option?

my phone's build name is i9100BVKD7
I wanted to search root kernel for it and noticed I can't find any for this version; then I saw on samfirmware a post about the newest fw explaining the abbreviations:
Firmware version: I9100XXKI3.
XX = Europe.
K = 2011.
I = September.
3 = Version.
on google I get no result of my version.
the thing is that I had a s2 from someone and it was shutting down with no reason on stock and modified rom.. so he changed my phone to this one and from what I see it's from april, that doesn't bother me, but what region does BV stand for then?
and what root kernel should I use?

hit thanks it it helpled you
When I connect my S3 to Kies, it shows the following firmware : PDA:LH9 / PHONE:LH9 / CSC:LH9 (BTU) [Am running the JB leaks]
I bought my S3 internationally, so that is probably why the firmware is the UK version.
However, I live in India. So, my question is, when the official JB comes out, will I be able to update my S3 to that from Kies after removing root & resetting the Flash counter from Stock ROM ?? But will I also have to change the CSC code to India to be able to update from India or just flashing the Indian 4.0.4 firmware from Sammobile will be good enough. I don't really have much idea about CSC, so please forgive me if it's a stupid question.
Sorry, if this already been asked before, but I couldn't find any info upon searching.
Thanks
The CSC isn't relevant at all. You can go to http://sammobile.com or even http://androidfirmwares.net and look for the relevant Multi-CSC ROM. Now saying this is don't know what's the CSC code for your region if one exists but it won't make a difference what you flash because there's no differences.

Grab your stock Rom from sammobile original and why not new JB when it comes out for your exact provider. I'd flash it with mobile odin pro and keep everoot. Counter will be 0, status will be normal. Need warranty remove traces of root unroot and you're done.

thank you
and does the region code matter? i mean i am from slovakia, that means ORS for me but im fine with BTU (UK) if it is better.
does anybody knows how can i find out what is the last firmware?
I9300 = Model - yes
DX = Region code or Network Code - i gues this does not matter
LE = Release-Date of the Firmware
8 = Revision
- is it in hexadecimal order?

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 .

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.
