Just check on which firmware you are currently in by going to service menu.. You have to press *#*#7378423#*#* and then go to "Software Info" and look for Customization Version section.
You may install any unbranded firmware which matches your model (D6503). Visit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759934 for more info.

Thanks m8 Was the nordic =) Any benefits of taking any else?
Not really... Some customization numbers may get faster updates whereas some may not.
Most of the people including myself are using German unbranded as it's believed to get faster updates.

Hi,
I have recently flashed my Samsung Galaxy S2 with KE7 update which debranded my phone. Then I searched an O2 branded firmware from this website but after flashing my phone with this firmware, I am having two problems. Firstly, when I insert my sim it not only asks O2 Pay monthly customers but also asks for Tesco customer option which is quite strange. Secondly, I am not able to do any updates from KIES as it gives error message of THIS VERSION OF THE PHONE CANNOT BE UPDATED.
Can some one please help me to find out original O2 branded firmware? or how to solve this problem please?

Why is it strange you have unbranded firmware not belonging to O2 with a CSC that gives as required the O2 networks of which Tesco is a VN .
But as the man said stock O2 is available if you want to go that route .

Dude you seriously need to learn to use the quote function. It's kind of hard to figure out were the poster you are replying to post ends and your response begins.
@OP: You will have option for O2 PREPAY, O2 POST PAY and TESCO. This is normal since Tesco mobile piggy back on the O2 network, Just select O2 PostPay if you're on a contract.

Thanks for the quick response ... I was confused because previously I only had two options: O2 Pay Monthly customer, O2 Pay As you Go. I got worried because of this Tesco options as I was afraid that it may void my warranty.
Secondly, I am not able to update this version from KIES. Is it because of the current firmware version or is it because there is no update available? My phone's firmware details are as follows:
PDA: I9100XXKE7
CSC: I9100O2UKG2
Thanks again for your help.

There may just not be any firmware update out, 3UK was still on KE2 till not very long ago (not that i was on stock for more than 10min).
If you want to you can just flash a stock rom via odin, you dont need to change your CSC to a new one. (its just APN settings, and any silly bundles apps)

I have just downloaded PDA: XWKE2 version for O2 UK from the given link but it is a .exe file. I assume that file should be either .zip or .tar file. How can I use .exe file to flash my mobile?

I have just downloaded KE2 firmware and thinking to flash KE7 version to KE2 (not sure if its a good idea) but there is a problem. The file I have downloaded from the above given link is a .exe file and I am not sure if this is the right file to use to flash my mobile?
Further, I don't know how to change CSC. Is it something we do manually or is it done automatically when we flash the firmware?
Thanks

No, bad idea, thats going backwards.
KE(X) > KF(X) > KG(X)
The exe is a self extracting archive if you had read the thread, you click it and it will extract to where you want it to.
Do some more reading about version numbers.
When flashing via odin CSC is just a part of the rom you might put into odin, as it says in the thread.

Yes you are right it is going backwards but my only motive behind this is to bring my mobile into a very simple way of updating via KIES. May be after coming to KE2 version, KIES might update it to any latest update for O2. Please advise.
Hi again,
Just wanted to share an update of my problem. I just flashed my mobile with a backward firmware of KE2 from KE7 and thought it will help to update my firmware with Kies but there is the same message displaying again, 'This version of the device cannot be updated'. :s I need help to resolve this problem as I want to send my mobile for warranty claim coz it restarts sometimes while using it and also its overheated when I use it while charging. I am worried that having a different firmware than the original one may create problem for warranty claim. ANY SOLUTION PLEASE??

Flash the O2 firmware and do a hard reset, after resetting flash the same firmware again.

Hi again,
I have some good news. I flashed my mobile with KE2 and had the same problem with KIES as it gave me same message, 'this device version cannot be updated' but when I tried update firmware from mobile setting options it detected a newer available version and so it installed KE7 version and after restart it gave me a message of additional firmware which I confirmed and now I have XWKF3 installed in my mobile. Which is a big relief now.
P.S Kies still shows the same message, 'This mobile version cannot be updated'.

Thanks a lot for this suggestion. I am bit not sure as my phone updated its firmware by using firmware update method in its settings. Now it shows its firmware as XWKF3 . Should I follow this method now which you suggested in above mentioned post to resolve this KIES update issue? and which firmware should I use to flash it ?

Hello, I would like to know if there's someone that has the carrier branded ROM for Movistar (Peru). My galaxy's vibrator stopped working so I need to claim its warranty.
I know Infratech might get it, but since I have less than 10 posts I can't ask for it in the Original Development Forum where his "carrier branded roms" post is located...
But if anyone got it please let me know,
Thanks in advance.
Also, after rebranding the phone and using the jig to reset the custom firmware counter the phone should be ready to take if back the dealer right?

You should be able to use the one from Argentina (UHKG7) just fine. Looks like it's the same version as the latest one for Peru.
Carrier branded firmware here & country specific non-branded firmware here, or if you're after the latest firmware for your carrier/phone/country try Checkfus (search for it on here).
Thanks MistahBungle, but the one I'm looking for is not listed there, and I cannot request it there because I still have less than 10 posts, I'll try to get to it without making nonsense posts.

I think my phone actually came with KE5, and I think there was no Kies update ever for my Carrier-Country combination, so wouldn't that be a problem and let them know I have been flashing it?

In that case, use the one from Columbia, which is UHKE5. It's also the closest listed country for Movistar to Peru geographically anyways, so it's probably from the same batch.

Cool, I tried with checkfus and found there's a newer firmware,
This is how I got my phone:
Product Code: GT-I9100LKLSAM
Phone Version: I9100UHKE3
PDA Version: I9100UHKE5
CSC Version: I9100SAMKE2
and it says the latest firmware for SAM is:
PDA: I9100UHKG7
CSC: I9100SAMKG1
Phone: I9100UHKG4
I can't download CheckFus to download it because the sites tells me that no hotlinking is permitted and keeps sending me back to the homepage, so I'll search for CheckFus elsewere and try to get that firmware.
Ok, it is downloading right now, thanks for your help, after it finishes I'll flash it and use the jig to reset the counter, as far as I know it will be ready to take it back,
Any recomendations for making a backup of my phone as it is right now? Thanks again.

A Nandroid. But I think you'd need to root it again to do so.

You can flash via flashtool the one posted before excluding baseband.

Why do you need GB to sell it? It won't make a huge difference and the buyer is probably gonna end up upgrading it anyway
Anyway, here's the link for ICS in case it's useful for someone https://www.dropbox.com/s/7jfez2tekoajpuz/ST25a_6.1.1.B.1.10_None.ftf
Is imposible to find wit, there are some but all have bloatware of the carriers.
If you need it PM me
The ics baseband should still work on GB

I used the service menu (*#*#7378423#*#*) and i saw i have two numbers with the firmware, first 1278-4770 and another customized 1281-9709.
The first one i didn´t found to which country belong, and the second one is US customized. So from what country is my firmware?
I ask this so I will know which new version i have to download
Thanks
You should look at the one under "Customization Version". If it's 1281-9709, then it's a Canada/USA unbranded firmware.

You can flash another country firmware. Just make sure that it is for D6503.

Hi All ,
Right now am using LP 5.1.1 and .232 firmware and I dont know which version it is, ( i.e UK or US or CE1,2,3 etc or HK or NCB or DE etc) .. Now i want to downgrade to either 5.0.2 or 4.4.4 and I dont know which version of the FTF should I download . So how do I find out which version that I am running on and Which version should I download as I can see there are so many versions available to download and am confused .
FYI, I got my phone in Ebay imported product and I upgraded to 5.1.1 via OTA.
Thanks to help!
On main screen tap *#7378423#*#* and go service-service info and there ypu will find number which contain something like R7c,R2 or something like that.
Copy all number in google or xperia firm and you will find out for which region is your software.
