Cyanogen mod 7 came out when I bought my S2 and I was encouraged to stick it on by a RL friend. I never got a backup of my stock ROM and I've never seen it available since...
I've searched the forum, and I've been all over this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928 and there are some BVKH1 ROMs there but none for Orange UK. Is it safe to use any of those (Austria, France, Poland, Romania...)?

I'd be very grateful for advice / clarification.
Thank you

try www.sammobile.com, u might find one there
Thanks for the heads-up, but it's not there. IIRC, KIES is only going to work for me if I have matching letters - BVKH1. That site has a BVLPH which tantalisingly promises Kies compatibility, but presumably only to a BVLPH-original phone, right?

This is an ongoing issue been bothering me since about a week after Cyanogenmod v7 came out. I will paypal anyone £5 for the right file I need (see screenshot in earlier post) to restore my phone to stock.

I recently bought a Galaxy S II here in Australia and it came with a stock Samsung firmware. Typing *#1234# gave this information:
PDA :- I9100XWKF3
Phone :- I9100XXKE7
CSC :- I9100XSAKE3
I have been flashing the phone over the weekend with custom ROMs but I didn't like any of them (some of them would not even connect to samsung's Kies software). I have been trying to find which firmware would restore my phone to its just-bought condition, but I can't seem to locate it in the SamFirmware.com firmware list.
Help please? Thanks.
Stock firmware or provider firmware in Dev section.

Actually, I've already been there. My problem is that, confronted with the unexplained alphabet soup that is the firmware names, I still can't seem to find one which matches the above details. Unless there's a convention I don't know.
information can be found on the following page. the last 5 letter+number in your PDA and Phone info are what you need to match the stock roms to your phone (in this case, XWKF3 and XXKE7). instruction is at the top of that page as well. hope it helps, buddy. best of luck!

A big thank you to dchn2 and intratech for their pointers (and intratech, again, for his wonderful stock firmware thread). I have no idea why it didn't come up when I did my searches but it has been a great read.
Ok so hear is the story a family relative of mine who was in korea for a couple of days buys me a samsung galaxy s ii. when i got it opened up the package and looked at the phone, i was like " erm... this dont look like a galaxy s ii to me. ( take a look below. it even has a antenna that you can pull out! FOR WHAT?! lol)

anyways apparently it is. (video)

i did my research with the phones model number and all. so it seems plretty legit. the installed rom does come with korean and english language option of choosing. i was wondering i can root this device the same way you would root a regular samsung galaxy s ii, install custom recovery, flash OTA Rom or custom, etc. what we androidians mostly do with our devices. forgot to mention that it is a cdma phone and if it is possible to unlock to use here in the u.s.
if anyone could shed some light on my current situation, i would highly appreciate it. thanks in advance.
Don't do it.
Apparently, LG U+ SGS2's have some kind of special rom that is difficult to find. I have been living in Korea for a while and happened to get one of these. I'm sure one of the XDA hackers will eventually get around to giving us a good root solution, but until then we are rootless.
BTW - the antenna is for DMB reception. I'm pretty sure the DMB signal is only in Korea though...Maybe in a few years someone will start tinkering with it and get normal TV somehow.
So I got this ACE DUO, which means it can support CDMA2000 and GSM mode at the same time. I'm not sure ROMs provided here can be flashed to the cell.
Is there any customized ROM for this kind of cell?
Are you sure it's galaxy ace? If it is it would normally be S5830 *
only available in China! I do not think there is a rom for this mobile

Hi All,
I am sorry If have missed looking over similar threads but believe me I did so but couldn't find what I am looking for.
I want to update my galaxy S3 to new Jelly bean 4.1 and I know how to do it using Odin but I couldn't find the correct firmware.
Would anyone please take a look into below screen shots showing my device info and let me know the link where I can download the firmware:

Also, for your info I live in India but I didn't buy this mobile from my country. Actually the dealer I bought mobile from says that its from Singapore but I am not sure though..

Hello everyone,
my cousing bought a chinese I9300 but he wanted to change ROM because the current one doesn't work well and he has lots of problems with the signal, sms, wifi... We're from Italy if that matters.
Below you can see the screenshots captured from an Antutu report so you can see what's inside this baby :good:
I'd like to know if there's any ROM I can install to replace the running one and see if it can work better.
Thank you all in advance

The phone is not a SGS3 I9300 its some fake clone chinese job .
As posted nothing for that phone on this forum we cannot advise .
I hate to say this to you..
But that does not looks like a real S3 I9300.
From the screen shots I can see that the screen resolution is not correct and neither is the standard DPI.
So I don't think you can install any of the ROMS that are available in this section of the forum.
I think your cousin bought a knock-off that looks almost the same.
Unless you can figure out what phone it really is you are out of luck I'm afraid...
Yeah I thought that too as I saw the report.
So you think that maybe a ROM not for S3 but for some other phone might work.. What should I look for? Screen res, processor....
It looks like hunting a needle in the sea
Suggest you search and read the hundreds of identical post and see if you can find a forum/ firmware .
You require rom for your phone not some other phone .
