[Q] Replace leaked JB 4.1.2 firmware with official one - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys
My GT-I9100 S2 currently runs on the leaked firmware 4.1.2, baseband version is I9100XXLS6, build number is JZO54k.I9100XXLSJ and CSC is LS1(COA).
I'd like to fix the buggy wireless and frozen screen when locked hence I want to know if I can replace it with an official firmware from any other region? So that it can get updates from OTA or Kies?

Figured it out, flashed with the Hong Kong TGY official JB 4.1.2 firmware and managed to change the CSC code to TGY as well. It fixed the above two issues and I can now get updates via OTA and Kies.

Do a search for Checkfus on here. That will be able to tell you the most recent available firmware for your phone/region/carrier.
I am a link with info about all the available firmwares

You have the same version I had when I bought my SGS2 in December via Phones4U on O2. This is not O2 firmware, it is Samsung's firmware. And that is the latest publicly released version. So annoying.....That is why my attention has been driven to XDA The latest stock firmware you can install is XWKL1, however I recommend a custom firmware as stock firmwares are buggy, battery not-friendly, and have tens of useless apps...
stock firmwares are buggy????????
That is nonsense .

[Q]Latest Build Number For UK[Q]

Hey there XDA,
So I've just come from a Sensation XE to a Samsung Galaxy SII (so much better) and I've hit a little hitch. With the Sensation XE, build numbers are easy to see which is latest as they all have build numbers, however with the SGSII it's hard because they are all in letters
I de-branded my phone from the crap Orange bloatware that they put on there to this firmware:
PDA:XWKI4
PHONE: XXKI1
Date: 14/09/2011
Android 2.3.4
And the name of the firmware was XEU UK. I flashed it using ODIN and everything, changed my CSC code thing so it now says XEU, however whenever I search for an update there are none available. I was worried that maybe de-branding had stopped being able to update my firmware, but also Kies says that my phone doesn't support Firmware upgrade
I was wondering what is the latest OFFICIAL build for the Samsung Galaxy SII in the UK.
Thankyou!
the latest European build would be XXLPQ(4.0.3), but it has a bug with SMS (sending SMS twice), you can use DXLP7 it is an asian version, but will work just fine with your phone.

[Q] How to change CSC from KSA to INU for S2

Hi,
I am sorry if this is a repeat question......
I have a S2 from Saudi Arabia with CSC: KSA (UAE).
I want to change CSC to INU (India).
1. How can I do this?
2. Will I get official ICS India update through kies after I update the CSC?
use odin and flash official rom for india
Try csc changer from market. But it will reset your phone.

Does official rom for India means CSC, PDA and Phone or it is just one of them?
Also is it possible that I flash official GB 2.3.6 India rom and get official India ICS update from KIES?
Yes Odin package is whole stuff.
Yes you can also go that root, GB to ics via kies.
But Odin is better.

Flash official ICS via Odin, go to sammmobile.com click the firmwares tab then the smartphone link,then the Android link, then your phone model and finally your region.
Find the latest firmware for your actual location India or India and sub Continents, you will need to register to download it, then use Odin to flash it.

Thanks
Thanks guys......it worked like peice of cake...... though after I updated to indian 2.3.6 version through kies said you cannot get updates through kies.....but I updated again to Indian ICS version (thanks to sammobile)......and it works fine....even kies is not giving any error now.....

[Q] i9100XXKE4 still running on 2.3.3 - how to update?

A friend of mine has a samsung galaxy s2 with basebandversion I9100XXKE4 and when i looked which version of android it was running i was surprised to see version 2.3.3 was installed. Because i had version 2.3.5 before i used another baseband version update to go to ICS ... Looking arround on the web i could not find a more recent version of Android for her phone. (btw also still no official ICS version for the i9100XXKI3) So I had on my phone a baseband version I9100XXKI3 and i updated using Odin with an ICS package which had I9100XXLPR baseband No problems until now. Now running CM9.
You guys think i can also use this (xxLPR)package to update her I9100XXKE4 ?
We both live in HK. Only difference is she is on PCCW and i am on Smartone

XX ROM series had plenty of official updates after 2.3.3, among them three ICS ROMs. Latest is LPW.
Just follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
and pick up whatever ROM you feel like (you may also follow your product code).

Yes, you can. Only thing is if you flash stock firmware for another region you may have problems getting OTA updates for your region in the future. Which isn't a huge problem as you can also simply flash these via Odin when they're released if you do have difficulties.
I've had a look at Checkfus (PC version) & it tells me most recent update for I9100/Hong Kong was ZSLPG on 06/04/2012. So I guess you could go with LPR like you did, or you could get Checkfus & use this ICS build, which might mean no problems with OTA updates in the future (but no guarantees).

OTA update question.

Hello guys
This is my first post in the SGS3 forum. I've been a long time HTC user, but as you can see I've decided to jump ship
The SGS3 I bought is the international version and shipped here with a Turkey firmware PDA: I9300XXBLFB, CSC: I9300OJVBLF3
After spending some time on google I found that the firmware was quite dated and other regions had updated firmwares.
So I decided to ODIN flash the firmware to a BTU, PDA: I9300XXBLG8 CSC: I9300OXABLG8 and registered my device in software update as an unit from UK [Although I'm actually in Bangladesh], hoping that I'll get the latest updates as soon as they're released. Oh, and I haven't rooted the device yet.
My question now is will I actually get the OTA updates this way? [Yes, I do realize i should have asked this before I flashed the BTU firmware. Sorry =\]
Thanks in advance
No will will not get any OTA updates from leaked roms
You will only get OTA uodates from original stock roms
