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

Hi,
I have a Telstra (Australia) Galaxy SII with the version information :
PDA: DVKF4
Phone: DVKF2
CSC: TELKF3
I found the thread which contains the links to a number of different firmwares
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
There are so many version there, I don't know which is appropriate for my phone.
Telstra has not released an update and there seems to be no plans to do so. The phone is still at V2.3.3. Great network, crap customer service......
I would like flash the phone with a genric rom so I can receive updates.
Can anyone advise me on what ROM I should use for Australia?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
John

Charlie,
Thanks for your reply.
I found the Telstra section and I am still confused.
This is what I found:
Australia
DVKF4: http://www.multiupload.com/UAZPBM0XAS
Firmware info: PDA DVKF4| PHONE DVKF2| CSC:TELKF3
DVKF4 Stock Kernel:http://www.multiupload.com/91ID4RZEMO

What is the difference between the downloads?
I assume the first link is the ROM I currently have in my phone. What is the Stock Kernel?
Regards
John
PS: I need an idiot's guide.

The first link includes the rom (stock im guessing) along with the second link, which is just the kernel.
Are you trying to flash a custom rom, or just official, because the download link rom is probably no different than the one you currently have on your phone. (if you havent flashed any rom yet)
If you are trying to flash a custom rom, I dont think any custom rom allows you to get the official update. (might be wrong)
I see.....
What I am looking for is an official generic ROM that is suitable in Australia.
I used to have an SE X10 before it died and I had a generic ROM flashed from the DaVinci site.
This thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 has a truck load of official ROMs and many Frankenstein ROMs which I assume are the custom ROMs.
My understanding is that if you flash with a generic ROM, you will get official ROMs when they are released by Samsung and you don't have to wait for your doppy carrier to provide a their cutomised version.
Is this correct?
Yes. If you flash one of those official firmwares from either of Intra's threads, you should be able to receive OTA updates via Kies. You can also use a PC app called Checkfus (search for it on here) to get official updates normally available via Kies (if you can't get updates via Kies for some reason).
P.S - For future reference, questions go in Q&A

Dont flash the Frankenstein firmware then:
+++++++[Frankenstein Firmwares]+++++++
These packages below are not official firmware packages, they are Frankenstein package created due to demand for Firmware with different CSC and modems and also leaked firmware packages. KIES will not recognise the firmware so you won't be able to update to new firmware using KIES unless you flash back to a firmware meant for your device first. Otherwise there will always be Odin to use for updates

Hi so I'm trying to get my galaxy s2 back on stock firmwares, I just changed to gingerbread XWKI4 but now it won't update via kies.
Does anyone know why that would happen? Or what the official unbranded UK version of ICS is?
1. wrong forum
2. select your csc and try again

If you know which stock firmware you want to go back to then you can just download the firmware from Intratech's thread and use odin to flash it. All the instructions and downloads can be found on this thread, read it carefully ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
If you want to flash official unbranded UK ICS release then use Faryaab's Thread and flash the I9100XWLP7 ROM using Odin, the ROM can be downloaded from the 2nd post. Again follow the insturctions in the first post carefully.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
If you flash the unbranded UK ICS rom mentioned above and, as long as your phone is also unbranded, then Kies should detect your phone's firmware again. It stopped detecting it because you changed to a ROM that was not intended for your phone.
Dear members here,
Can i just ask or know if its ok or advisable to flash other region ROM (eg XWLP7)on my SG2 as i am from singapore and baseband version is DXLP9 (ICS) or DXKL3 (GB).
Thanks.
Yes, you can flash a stock rom for another region. You more than likely won't be able to get OTA firmware updates tho if you do. You'd need to re-flash stock firmware for your region in order for those to work again. And even if you do, some people still end up having problems getting OTA firmware updates once they've done so. Which isn't a massive problem as it's easy enough to flash firmware updates for your region via Odin (many people on XDA have done this).
Also, make sure to use a firmware for a model suitable for your phone.
I9100G can only use i9100G firmwares and kernels...
I9100, I9100P, and I9100T can all use each others' firmwares and kernels.
Thanks for all the advise.. i have loaded a baseband of NELP3 and its amazing...
