Orange UK Stock Firmware

Hi,
I wan't to revert my SGS2 back to the original Orange UK firmware. I bought it back in June 2011 and quickly flashed to a custom ROM. I would like to use KIES from now on but it doesnt work on the custom ROMS.
I believe my original firmware was:
PDA : BVKE2
PHONE : BVKE2
CSC: ORAKE2
The download link in the Carrier Firmware thread is dead so does anyone have this firmware to upload??
Also, I assume KIES will once again work when I go back to that stock firmware?
Thanks
James
Hi,
Try this
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/153501669/3ba8630/I9100BVLPB_I9100ORALPB_ORA.zip.html
the above link if for I9100BVLPB, 4.0.3, available via Kies. So if u flash ur S2 to this ROM, u will be able to use Kies for future updates.
Thanks!!
Working perfectly now.
you are welcome.. : )
any difference from xwlp7 ?..

[Q] Downgrade firmware from Australian carrier Jellybean to UK ICS?

Hi Guys
I'm a newbie here... I've done thorough searches here, but no-one's posted a query like I seem to have?!
I purchased an Australian SGS3 I9300 on the Optus network from the UK eBay site (this wasn't mentioned in the auction, so I expected to receive a full UK firmware/spec phone), it comes with Jellybean which I'm not a massive fan of...
Am I able to downgrade the australian 4.1.2 Jellybean firmware, to either an international or UK (O2 Telefonica) ICS 4.0 (which I love)?
Is it just a general download of the international firmware from Sammobile and flash through Odin?
Any help and advise appreciated

I would root the phone first and make a backup of your current firmware. Then just get the ICS FW you want to flash and do it through odin.

Thanks for your reply!
I was 'hoping' not to root it, and just do it as a general firmware download?

wouldn't you rather have a backup just in case though? you can always use triangle away and then once you flash with odin you will be back to stock anyway!
Get a copy of the firmware that is currently on the phone or at least make a note of it .
Then via Odin flash a stock UK rom from stock rom thread or from sammobile.com .

Thanks for your reply guys - very helpful
I'm going to make the backup and install the new (older) firmware

[Q] Restoring stock firmware

Hi, I am new to this and I want to ask is there a specific version of stock firmware for specific model or it won't work, I already forgot my stock firmware version after flashing custom firmware? I am using WanamLite.XWLP7.10.9 now.
Thanks in advance.:victory:
The stock firmwares are region specific for your particular model. You can download them from sammobile.com or samfirmware.com
