[Q] Official

Hi there new to the forum so if this thread is in the wrong place please move it for me XD.
My question is...
Just got an S2 of my mate. he has updates it to baseband I9100XXKI3 which he says is a new beta firmware. Is it possible to downgrade the firmware to the official uk release as i don't want to use beta as i'm not too tech savy?
Thanks for your help
Yes via\ this thread KI3 beta i would check that it may actually be a release now .
Baseband is modem not firmware ..

Personally i would stick with what you have many custom roms are using KI3 firmware no problem .
Easier to do that than downgrade .

[Q] Stock Rom Question

Hi i have a guestion for the current Stock Roms.
Current i use a non stock Rom:
Version:4.1.1
Band:I9300XXDLI5
So my question now is if i connect to Kies or press the update check button inside the phone i got a message like : Your Device is changed no Updates available for you.
Is there a Stock version in german and with 4.1.1 and kies update support available? At moment i am a bit confused about the CSC wich version i should take. I hope my Question is not too much noob like ... so please answers me.

>>>>>>>>Kies only updates official roms for your phone .

>>> no idea what that means ??
correct firmware for your phone updates .
Use CHECKFUS to download any stock rom and flash via ODIN .
Alternative a Samsung/Kies forum or service centre .

[Q] Can't downgrade to 4.1.2

Hello,i updated to Android 4.3 a few months ago but before the official update was released.I flashed a 4.3 firmware but it is too buggy and laggy,anyways, i'm trying to downgrade to 4.1.2 and then install the 4.3 update via OTA.I downloaded a 4.1.2 firmware and i am flashing it using Odin and it says it has been successfully flashed,however the new 4.1.2 system is not installed in the phone,it's still the same buggy 4.3 one What do i do ?
Flash a firmware from sammobile.com via Odin.
But if you downgrade you will end up with no network unless you read the faqs and guides first .
Plenty of excellent 4.3 rom on this developers forum .
Latest ML4 is excellent .
