This has been covered many times my friend.
Steps:
1. Go to sammobile.com and find the latest firmware meant for your device and region.
2. Download the firmware and extract it.
3. Download Odin (any version would do) and make sure your USB drivers are installed.
4. Put your phone into Download mode and flash the firmware via Odin.

You're the 3rd person to suggest that in this thread. Congratulations. You win a prize.

Thank you but as I have said that my phone's PDA is:- I9100ZSKI3
and on sammobile when I search firmware for Pakistan (where I live) the latest firmware is Android 4.1.2 which has PDA: I9100XWLSD so How can I change the firmware as the PDA is different of the phone and latest firmware?
I'm sorry I don't know about these things, tell me what should I do? a help would greatly be appreciated

Just flash that latest firmware you found on Samfirmware. What you currently have on the phone is irrelevant. Might want to read the guides/tutorials stickied near the top of the General section before you do; I feel a busted phone coming on.

:good:

You have flash 4.1.2 Stock Rom via Odin. Then you can flash CWM 6.x.x and up any custom rom as you want.

[Q] New firmware using odin ?

Hi !! This is my first android device so please forgive me if I ask something wrong.
I want to update my phone firmware to another.
This is the current situation :
PDA :I9100 XWKE2
PHONE : I9100 XXKDJ
CSC : I9100 OXFKD4
Product : GT-I9100LKAVVT (Romanian I presume, MAY)
I want to switch to I9100XWKF3_OJVKF1_XXKF1 rom (Turkey) that I downloaded from samfirmware
The problem is this package has 5 files in it.
I should update, PDA,PHONE,CSC from odin that is ok, but do I need to update kernel or even pit.
Could someone explain it to me the settings and components I need for flashing, I'd appreciate it...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Tried flashing per samfimrware intructions. Been Happly using KF3 ever after.
Tried to avoid bumping this thread by editing my post. I hope it worked and thanks to anyone who replied.
PHONE is for modem.bin
PDA is for firmware (.md5) or kernel (.tar)
Sa\mfirmware has the instructions .

Hi all
Sorry for the noob question I have searched but nothing gives me quite the correct answer.
I have a Galaxy s2 GT-I9100 that i have messed about with over the last year, a mate of mine is going to buy it but would like it Stock, fully back to factory spec so he can use Kies to check for software updates and the like. I have flashed the polish 4.0.3 ics rom and all is good but when I connect to kies it says .
Your devices current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via kies
PDA:LPQ / PHONE:LPQ / CSC:LPQ(XEU)
I followed the guide on galaxys2root when I original did it using this kernel CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5
The info from the phone is
Model
GT-I9100
Android version

You have to flash to the stock rom, then it'll be unrooted like you just got it out of the box.

[Q] Update problems and some other stuff

Hi,
i bought via ebay a Samsung Galaxy S II. I discovered that is brand by H3G ( italian telephone company ).
I want to ask a few questions:
1) Why i can't update my phone to a new android version? Now there is the 4.0.3 and when i try to update via OTA it tell me that there are not update for my phone but i know it was released the 4.0.4 and the 4.1.2 for galaxy s2 ... also for H3G branded.
If i try to update via kies... kies tell me that i have to update kies and than update the firmware... but, when I try to update the kies , the program shoot down!!!
2) I lost my S II and i bought this one. The previous one , in the dropdown menu had more than 5 toggle... is possible to increase the toggle? Or is a feature of android 4.0.4 or 4.1.2?
3) Can I manually update the firmware ( i want to use the official firmware )? Or i must to root and crack the phone ?
Thanks

As for question number
1- If ur sure an update is available, uninstall Kies, reboot, download the latest version and install it. Then try again.
2- 4.1.2 comes with more than 5 toggles, but to customize them, u need to flash a mod or use a custom ROM.
3- U can manually update using Odin (smaller brother of Kies) by downloading the required firmware from sammobile.com. You don't need to root.
May I also suggest you read this thread.

1) Hmm...That's weird. Three has already released JB for S2 already. However, I have a strong feeling it is not working because you are in a different country( I presume)
2)I am pretty sure the old one had a custom ROM on it. On stock JB, there are 9 toggles.
3) You can and you have to use ODIN for that. I strongly recommend you don't yet, as you are new.
Go online, view threads about i9100 and its custom roms, kernels and recoveries, then start slowly flashing things. Never mistake an i9100 for an i9100G and Read, Read, Read.

[Q] Firmware cannot be updated via Samsung Kies

Hello,
I have a SIM free Galaxy SII and I never rooted it. However, when I connect it to Samsung Kies, I get the following message:
Your Device's current firmware version is not supported to update via Kies.
My phone's details are:
PDA: I9100XWLP7
PHONE: I9100XXLPS
CSC: I9100OXXLPH
Build Info: Tue Apr 3 19:44:49 KST 2012

Could you please help me? Why do I get the above message from Samsung Kies?
I read somewhere in the forum that I should change my phone's sale code (current sales code XEO).
Many thanks in advance!

I have same trouble solution was originally Samsung USB cable. If you have any other cable it won't work.
Simple as that
You can try re-installing Kies, and check if you have the latest version of Kies.
Use a different USB cable, and try different USB ports.
If that doesn't work, try changing ur CSC to that of ur region (caution: may wipe ur data).
Or, alternatively, u can flash the required firmware via odin.

[Q]Product Code changed from GT-I1900LKAINU to GT-I1900LKANEE

Hi All,
I am from India and using the SII for last 1 year. One week before I installed XWLSN Neat ROM Lite V4.6.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569686) and everything was working fine.
Later I came to know that Samsung has released an update for 4.1.2. So I flashed the official stock firmware of 4.1.2 using Odin and then flashed the new update also using Odin.
Yesterday when I used the Check Fus app, I came to know that product code for my phone is changed to GT-I1900LKANEE from GT-I1900LKAINU. When try to check the CSC code for my using *#272*imei#, it is saying "Unknown Application" message.
Last night again I flashed the Neat ROM Lite v4.6.1 and now the product code is displaying correctly as GT-I1900LKAINU. Then I used "CSC Select" app from play store and able to change the CSC code to INU (India) from NEE.
Can anyone help on below questions:
1. How to go back to Official Stock firmware (Jelly Bean 4.1.2) from Neat ROM Lite.
2. On doing the above will it change the Product code.
Thanks in Advance.
Ricky.
Note: Please post questions in the Q & A Section.
Which stock firmware did u flash? Am guessing its the Nordic version.
Download stock JB XWLST for India, and flash it via Odin. You can get it from sammobile.com.

Thanks for the reply.
I am not able to post the question in Q&A section and that's why posted here. Is it possible to move the thread to Q&A section?.
1. Yes, I flashed the Nordic country firmware (XWLSN Neat ROM LITE).
2. Yes I downloaded the XWLST firmware from sammobile.com and flashed it. After that the product is changed as GT_I9100LKANEE. When
I tried to change CSC from NEE to INU, I am not able to do so.
3. Again I flashed the Neat ROM and able to change the CSC from NEE to INU.
4. Will download the firmware XMLST India firmware again and will flash it and then will update you.
Thanks,
Ricky
