This one has an aplication (Check Fus) for windows that checks and downloads the latest version of your country's official firmware.
After downloading your rom, you just need to flash it with odin and you're done.
For pakistan it's saying:
product code: GT-I9000HKDPAK
PDA: I9000JPJPF
CSC: I9000OJPJPF
Phone/modem: I9000JXJPD
Thanks for reply.. plz tell me from where i download official firmware and aslo tell me procedure to flash...

HELP: Want to Upgrade SGSII with 2.3.6 / 7 (DBT)

Hi Frnds,
I am newbie in SGS2 Family i bought Samsung Galaxy S 2 and update my first firmware update with official update 2.3.4.
So my Latest firmware is : PDA:KI4 / PHONE:KI1 / CSC:KH1(DBT)
Now i want to update it with 2.3.6 or 2.3.7 as official firmware is taking to give update on my country and right now i m in india.
I don't know about which Rom m i have and what kernel i m using.
So kindly please please let any friend help me which kernel or rom should i upgrade with so ill be having latest firmware update on my SGS2 mobile.
Please pls help me.
If you updated via KIES, you have the stock Samsung ROM. You can see the kernel in settings -> about.
If you want something that isn't available from KIES, you have to flash a custom ROM, pick one from this list. I think the only one that is 2.3.7 is CM7 (and maybe MIUI), those are AOSP ROMs, a tad different from Samsung ROMs, so I wouldn't advise them for a newbie.
Other than this, please read around the forums, most of the questions were already answered, and no one likes lazy and stupid people asking lazy and stupid questions.

Actually there are so many thread i just have confused what to download pls show me one way rest ill findout promise ....
Sorry if i broken any of forum rules.
thanks
At the moment for India there is no official 2.3.6/7 available and if you look at the firmware your phone has you will see that it has a german csc(DBT).The only way to get to what you want is to flash something like KK5 and then a custon ROM with a built-in multi-csc package that contains the csc for your region or one that would at least do the same job.XDA have INU as indias csc although a neighbouring countries csc will quite often do the same job.Seeing as your phone is on a german firmware(DBT) Kies will search for the latest german update unless you want to flash it.

Look in the development section. There you will find the things you want to know. Flashing roms involves risks, so you should start learning what everything means. It will save you a lot of problems.
Give me alteast on way or that thread link only

Why do you want to update when you have just got a new phone ? You will hardly notice much, if anything, by updating. Use your phone as it is for a couple of weeks, find out what you like and what you don't like. In the mean time read about all these threads here regarding rooting, flashing methods, various ROM/themes etc.
Is it really that hard to find?

Actually bro i have lost my warranty card while traveling and it has local warranty.. so any way i didn't get any facility on such.
i heard in 2.3.6 battery life is much better and i have 2.3.4 which is relatively good but not enough if i play, browse battery not only stay a day..
So i thought to upgrade it...! Thanks

If you dont want to flash a custom ROM you could go to the link below and flash from the "Frankinstein" section at the bottom the KK5 firmware then factory reset your phone,boot to download again and flash the India ODD KF3 CSC from the csc section given at the bottom and then when its done you need to do another factory reset again.This will give you KK5 with your local csc.Thats what I did on KH3 here in Spain to get my csc(FOP).Take into mind that these are not without risks if you dont follow the rules of flashing.A nearby countries csc will also do the job just as well so flashing KK5 and then a custom ROM with a multi csc package is always a go but its your choice.KK5 with the csc flash will be more close to stock looking and custom ROMs bring more mods and themes.

[Q] No update available

Hi guys,
I have a question, maybe is stupid, but I have searched on the net and I could not find anything to clarify my question.
My Android version is I9100XWKI4 / I9100XXKI1 / I9100DBTKH1. So a ROM (2.3.4) from Germany.
When I try to update the ROM to 2.3.6 via Kies I get always the message "No update available".
Do you have any ideea why Kies doesn't find the newest version for my phone?
thanks
Try Check Fus. Google it for info.

You have the newest version for your phone note your phone or the codes on the phone do not match any on KIES server due to flashing .
Its your phone provider that updates the firmware to KIES as and if they want and some are well behind the later releases and unlikely to update further until soon expected release of ICS ..

Maybe it's a bad network/internet connection.
Try to download the latest, officially released firmware for your phone in your region with Check Fus Downlaoder from here => http://fus.nanzen.se/
Select OS (Android), your phone (GT-I9100) and your region, click Check and then download it directly from Samsung servers.
You can flash it with Odin.
Have a look here for a description of how to flash the firmware to your phone => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
No need to use Kies !

[Q] Messed Up in a problem..Need Help!!!

Hello I am from Pakistan.
I did root my SGS3 GT-19300. Then i unroot it but now kies does not recognise my firmware.
I think I did installed a wrong firmware.
But my last firmware was XELLA and so is this one. I dont know what is the exact problem.
Previous firmware that kies recognied was "PDA:MA2 / Phone:LLA / CSC:MA1 (PAK)"
I want to solve it but i dont know how to do it. Please help me out.
I dont understand how to recognise the exact firmware, If someone can tell me my exact firmware i'll be thankfull to him.
All I know about the previous firmware is:
AP: 19300xella
Cp: ***JV something like it..
Please do help me..(
What are you trying to achieve ???
Run the latest firmware = flash stock via Odin
Use Kies for whatever update is for your phone = flash your original saved rom.
Almost certainly never the latest firmware .
