Hello everyone,
I recently got an upgrade though T-Mobile (in UK) for a Samsung Galaxy S2. Its simply awesome, but I'm a newbie to the Android OS. Hence I have very less knowledge as to what is happening with the android OS rooting, updating etc.
So on to the main topic, I got my phone (model GT-I9100) on 2.3.5 and the base band is I9100BOKJ1.
I would like to remove the T-Mobile branding and the other software which there installed have it.
So could someone please guide me though how I could root and update my firmware to Standard samsung with out the carriers crap installed and still use the phone with my carrier?
My phone is unlocked by default as another sim card works from another carrier.
Could someone walk me through step by step as to how i could root and update my firmware to standard and unlock the device Any help is much appreciated.
I have attached a screen shots of my x#1234#
Thanks.

You can use a XEU Firmware or the O2 UK Firmware, check the Firmware-Thread here in the Forum =>

I also have the same problem. I have bought my phone in Switzerland and live in France. I bought my phone on my own (it is not included in any contracts). Can I just take XWKJ2 Firmware from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
and tick PDA, Phone and CSC in Odin to reset my phone and have it working with Kies?
Easiest way is use an app called "checkfus" from the market. It's free.
Basically checkfus can search the same servers as kies does and find the latest firmware available from your carrier.
Then go to intratechs official carrier firmware thread and download the version that checkfus told you was the latest for your carrier.
Flash this via Odin following intratechs instructions.
Use a USB jig to get rid of any flash counter. Sets it to official firmware with 0 flash counter.
If you want at this stage you can do a wipe if you don't want any data on your phone.
At this point your phone will be as if you just unboxed it. kies should work and everything.
Hope this helps.

I have download and installed checkfus and it is very easy to use
Thank You

If it's a I9100 version this is your thread here

I have the same question for my I9300 / Galaxy S3.
I'd like to thank all the people that posted an answer, but point out there is no answer.
I want to know if there is any way for me to find out what my original firmware was. And is there a way for a service center to check if the firmware matches the imei or serial number?
As long as its official Samsung firmware(and probably for your region) what do they care.

Kies has this option build-in. Just select initialize device from menu or something like that, than enter you phone serial number and model name and voila.
It will tell you what original factory firmware was preinstalled and even flash it if you like.

I tried this, It says " GT i9100 does not support initialising "
I know my phone is from poland. polish was the default language for my fone. Later my phone got bricked, So I had to flash it. Wen i searched it in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 I saw quite a few firmwares from poland. Tried XXLPQ and XXKI4. But the default language came as English UK . I think I flashed it with wrong firmware. I am confused with which CSC should be used. OXA or XEO .
Is there any chance to find the stock firmware with IMEI and S/N
S/N : RDZB913735Z
can you kindly check for me, wats the official firmware for my phone.
Thanks and Regards.
Allrigt I will check this but don't publish your IMEI here. PM me.
Poland have XEO code. But if phone was branded than it can be operator's code (IDE - Orange, TLP - T-mobile...)

Thanks man,
Now i am sure its XEO , its unbranded, international version, bought from amazon.com
I'm sorry but Kies can not initialize this phone. This could mean that your phone was not branded and you can flash any official XEO firmware if you want to repair it in Sammys Service Center.
You can flash 4.0.4 immidiatelly with Odin or, if you feel that you absolutly must use Kies to upgrade (don't know why) than flash official 4.0.3 (XXLWP) it is stock for XEO region and after that change your CSC by dialing service code *#272*IMEI# (IMEI - your IMEI number). From pop-up menu choose XEO. Phone will be wiped and new CSC will be set. You can check this in 3e recovery (yellow information text at the bottom) or in Kies - there should be (XEO) at the end of the line with current version information. Than you can upgrade to 4.0.4 via Kies or FOTA.

Here's the thread I've been using but you may want to wait for help from someone more experienced considering I may have just bricked my phone...
Ctrl-F "Network" and you will see that the Stock firmware for 3 UK is indeed XXLE8
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969
3 UK firmware is posted in that link under branded /carriers post .

HEY buddy! from where u downloaded the stock s3 ROM on 3 network...
can u plz share the link.
Hi guys, sorry in advance its probably been asked 1000 times, I have searched but get mixed feedback.
I have bought a Samsung S5 and unlocked it and want to remove the o2 branding and bloatware as I am on Virgin, I understand I need to root/flash the phone.
I found this which is the latest Virgin rom;
PDA/AP Version G900FXXU1CPL7
CSC Version G900FVIR1CPL1
MODEM/CP Version G900FXXU1CPL1
Region VIR — United Kingdom
Build Date 2016-12-08
Changelist 9493471
OS Marshmallow
OS Version 6.0.1
But others say there is a ROM I can download that is empty with no branding. There is also the custom ones ofcourse but not really interested in going to that level yet.
Can you advise if I am selecting the right ROM to download, I have found a pretty straightforward guide to flash it but if you know any recent ones it would be appreciated.
Finally my current Android version is 5, can I download an Android 6 ROM so in theory I am updating the Android version too when flashing it.
Thanks

Try with German Firmware with doesn't have branding .
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s5/SM-G900F/DBT/download/G900FXXS1CQD4/130595/
Before you flash , Wipe Cache Partition.
Make first backup in order if something goes wrong!
