Is this a good choice:
Country/Carrier Date Android PDA CSC Download Kies Play Unlock Info
Germany 2012 December 4.1.2 I9305XXBLL3 I9305DBTBLL3
?

Latets firmware appears to be form Saudi Arabia
and one that has been discussed alot if it fixs the sudden death bug is from United Kingdom.

[Q] Do I have the latest U.K Firmware?

Galaxy S II bought in CPW in London
when I press *#1234#:
PDA: I9100XWKF3
PHONE: I9100XXKE7
CSC: I9100CPWKD1
Build Info: Thu Jun 9 18:16:44 KST 2011
Also I want to revert the CSC to XEU as that is the default U.K Samsung Android CSC but
When I do the *#272*IMEI#
I only get CPW CSC Code as an option. I want to use Kies to firmware update the latest U.K XEU Firmwares but I can't change CSC since I only have CPW.
XDA ...have any Ideas?
Greatly appreciated

No one?? @[email protected]
i think you have a Carphone warehouse branded handset...thats why your CSC is not XEU which as you mentioned is for unbranded UK handsets.
Maybe please change your query/subject to how to de-brand the handset...and someone knowledgeable here might help

so what is the latest Stock U.K (XEU) firmware right now?
And when we say which firmware we have do you mean by PDA: or PHONE: or CSC:?

Generic stock Samsung is KG6 not official kies release .
And when we say which firmware we have do you mean by PDA:
PDA = firmware Phone = modem CSC = country settings .

Ok guys.
Let me get this straight to all those confused.
CPW sell Unbranded phones even with contract. Their phones can be used with anyother network.
But still I believe CPW do still have their own firmware on it.
Yes it is debranded Galaxy S II. But still, it isn't XEU (STOCK UK FIRMWARE) it is CPW (Carphone Warehouse FIRMWARE)
That is why I was asking what the latest XEU Firmware out "Officially" on kies is.
Because the latest CPW Firmware is = KF3

I went from T-Mobile UK to stock using * THIS *.
Changes:
I downloaded Odin 1.85 instead of 1.83.
I downloaded the KE7 ROM (XWKE7 - Generic XEU) * HERE *
Completed the steps through to number 8.
Finally I rooted the phone * HERE * following the instructions and using the KE7 kernel.

Latest firmware for that product code and i would guess that KF3 is the latest general release via Kies .

I got mine on Orange and flashed the latest firmware using Odin a few days ago, mine says:
PDA: XWKE7
PHONE: XXKE4
CSC: XEUKD1
These samsung ones are so confusing compared to HTC!
Those who are reporting that they have a generic stock U.K firmware on a debranded GSII with :
PDA: XWKE7
PHONE: XXKE4
CSC: XEUKD1
Is this the latest from Samsung kies?
Please all *#272*IMEI# and tell me what CSC's you have

XSG (UAE) apparently is only up to JPKJ2. Check on www.samfirmware.com. JPKJ2 is the newest version on that site for the Middle East region. If you want newer than that, you will have to flash a firmware for a different region.

is your phone a GT-i9300 model? because the latest JB fw is for i9300 models
You won't get OTA updates.

Yep it's a GT I9300 but its working fine only thing ive noticed is the LED charging light is a lot dimmer than it was
Whats the difference between GT I9300 and I9300 ? Sorry for the stupid questions
There's no difference.As stated above you won't get the UK OTA updates when they do finally come out. But you can just flash the UK firmware later via Odin if you're so inclined.

GT-I9300 and I9300 are one and the same.. I just asked because there are variant firmwares. It is perfectly fine for you to flash the Polish JB, but you won't be getting any OTA from your Regions.

My CSC

I just found out that my CSC of my S3 is LK2 (XEF) which is the CSC for France but I live in Qatar, so will I get OTA/Kies updates for Qatar or France to my phone?
Thanks.

Updates are for the firmware not where you live . As you have french phone you get french update .
Or flash stock rom for your area and change CSC .

thanks I think I have the correct one, will try over the wkend..
Do you know if the baseband and ALL of the numbers need to be exactly the same as it was when I got it? i.e if it turns out to be wrong will that screw up my claim?
