I cannot find the stock ROM or firmware for the Vodafone Smart E9 (VFD 529) anywhere online. Vodafone does not offer firmware on their website, and they are listed as the manufacturer for this phone. I have scoured the internet for days and cannot find valid copy.
The model number is V529-2AVDAU1
Does anyone have a copy or a recommendation? Thank you.

Hello,
Just received my SGS2, and after boot i found a.......pretty bad surprise, the FW in my phone is a provider one, so far "nothing wrong" BUT is crappy as hell, i don't even have google apps on it. And the browser is labeled as "iPortal Mobil".
So i want to have it running Stock Samsung firmware, with no brand, no crappy apps, and no Carrier information.
The current firmware info is:
PDA I9100UHKE2
Phone: I9100UHKE2
CSC: I9100ECOKE1
The phone is a I9100, from Claro Ecuador.
I have searched in SamFirmware, and in the threads for official firmwares:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
And i can find, FW with the same PDA/MODEM, but not the same CSC.
I tried to find my FW in case i need to roll back for warranty purposes, but no luck so far.
I'm gonna call Claro PR, to ask them about this, but i don't expect any help..
The question is:
From the List on Samfirmware, whick FW should i use to de brand my phone, in the America Region, the FW listed are really old, and there is no info about if they are branded or not.
I have read that flashing other region firmwares can bring issues, hence i cannot flash one of those, the most common one being Wi-Fi drivers, is that true?
In a couple posts related, some people say that Claro requires that a "Claro" branded fw is flashed, otherwise the phone will have some issues, anyone who can shed some light in that?
Any help is really appreciated
Hello, my I9100 is from Claro Ecuador, yes its ugly what they made in this Rom but you can use any unbranded oficial Rom, try SamMobile. Im actually using the LP4 from Luxemburg and everithing is working fine. In order to do this you must read about flashing ROMs with ODIN.
I have a ace bought from vodafone portugal!
Can anyone help me find the stock rom from vodafone portugal?
I've already looked in samfirmware and i've found vodafone rom but only for uk and i think that this rom won't have csc to portugal (TCL).
This is only for getting back my original software in case i have to to take my ace to service.
help would be apreciated.
Thanks
Howdy.
Hoping some one can direct me to a working unbranded firmware for SG2.
I have obtained one listed at Sammobile:
I9100XWLP8_I9100XSALP4_XSA
4.0.3 2012 April I9100XSALP4 Australia
But it is not in english (I think it's polish or something) and just crashes the phone so another working one would be more useful I think.
If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.
Also, assuming a working firmware exists, is it likely that the phone will stop crashing on start up or is something else likely to be causing this problem. Thanks.

1. Wrong forum
2. Flash this firmware, it's the newest unbranded one and contains all the languages.
Thanks for that. I can't find a link on the web page to down load the firmware.
You can get I9100XWLP8/I9100XSALP4/I9100XXLPS/I9100XWLP8 which is unbranded AU stock ICS from Checkfus. Search for the PC version on here/Google. Then choose Android/I9100/Australia GT-I9100LKJXSA in the pulldown boxes. On the left hand side it will populate the product code/PDA/CSC/phone fields, then click 'check firmware'. This will give you the the details I mentioned in the first line.
From there, click 'download' & it will download/decrypt an Odin flashable firmware package you can flash following the usual instructions for flashing firmware with Odin (put the package you download in the PDA section of Odin).
Thanks for that,
Does anyone have a straight link to a download please. I'm not in a position to install software just to obtain a download.
Also can anyone advise why the device boots in to a non english language when loading Australian firmwares.
I have tried about 5 different "Unbranded australian firmwares" and they all boot in some language I can't work out. It's eastern european or something.
The phone must be in out of box state when these firmwares are loaded because it doesn't just boot up like when I first got it. There are a series of what appear to be questions I have to answer before the phone will start up. Then it crashes.
Also does anyone know why it would just crash on a new firmware that apparently eveyone else can use without problems. Is there something else I need to install apart from the firmware?
Do I need a kernel or something else with these firmwares?
Any useful help appreciated. Thanks
Does everyone have to read in those characters in the box before they have to post. I find it very difficult to read whats in the boxes. It takes 5 or 6 attempts before this forum accepts my codes.
I found a web site where you can lookup if there are firmwares available.
I'm not allowed to post it
its the home page for that checkfus program
Unfortunately there are none for Australia. Can anyone suggest a working set of droid OS downloads I can use to get this phone working again please?
Full wipe, flash stock ROM, it will be in English.
There are many stock roms for Australia at Sammobile.
You can also use check fus down loader
I am still trying to get a download for unbranded Aust stock ROM GTI9100. Sammobile does not recognise a search for this phone so maybe they no longer support it. I agree trying to get a simple download without having to join another site or get hit with malware is well nigh impossible it seems.
Hi @trebleguy , install this first .
The ROM contains all languages.

Hey, I have been trying to return to stock, I've downloaded ODIN, but when came the time to pick a stock rom, I saw that there were quite a few stock roms for my phone (GT-19300 international) . I live in France, there are 4 operators: Orange (where I bought my phone and where I have my contract), Bouygues, SFR and NRJ, on Sammobile I saw there was a stock rom for NRJ, and I also found stock roms for the other operators (not on sammobile though, on tha site there was only the NRJ one), then came the question, do I need an orange stock rom, or the regular international one, does it matter? If it's any help, there isn't the orange logo on my phone, and I don't recall having orange apps on my phone when I bought it, but have a vague memory of me downloading a couple, although maybe anyone with a contract there can download them, I qish I could provide more information but nothing comes to mind :/ I'll try to answer all questions as best I can, thanks for answering quickly.
P.S. I'm using this guide to unroot, if you can think of a better one or if there's a problem with this one, I'd appreciate all suggestions, thanks! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27407556
AnyI9300 rom on any I9300 phone .
Stock is just Samsung firmware usually by country basis .
Vendor roms are usually branded and may have addons from the network . Vendor roms will have the correct modem and CSC .

i have an unlocked s10 sm-973u1
i had stumbled onto the CSC setting which i needed and stupid me decided to switch it to XAA and the CSC setting disappeared. im not sure which firmware i was using. but ive tried different ones since and no luck.
i currently have G973USQU2ASF6 installed
service provider SW ver: SAOMC_SM-G973U_OYN_XAA_PP_0014, XAA/XAA/XAA
im feel lost. maybe im missing step. i thought i had bricked my phone a few times yesterday.
ive tried many routes and find myself just getting road blocks.
can anybody direct me into the right direction?
thank you
robert
Those settings will update automatically when you insert a new SIM.
Install the Phone INFO SAM app for more info about the available CSC in your model. My U1 model has 19 available to use... You have the wrong firmware on yours.
Hi, thank you for your response. Phone info13 available CSC. Id like to brand it as my service. It also shows my branding as SM-G973UZBAXAA. My BL G973USQU2ASF6 is the newest, which firmware do I need and what's the best way to install it?
Thank you
Robert
