Vodafone Australia KF2 firmware

Hi Everyone,
Just got my new GS2 from Vodafone Australia.
Below is the frimware
hxxp://i.imgur.com/WlVEi.jpg
(cant post links yet)
And Keis says the following
PDA: KF2
PHONE: KF2
CSC:KF2 (VAU)
My question is - Does anyone want me to upload this firmware and if so point me to a guide.
wanted to get this out there before i root it and load a custom rom.

yep i certainly do my good fellow

God i hate the Spanish way of life! They're so lazy! I'm still on KE1 and no update via KIES. How did you find out about your update?

I didn't find out about it - thats the firmware the phone came with.
can anyone point me to a guide on how to backup and upload the firmware?

I'll upload the firmware later but I think this won't work for normal Galaxy S II phones as this is the GT-I9100T model.
I'm debating whether I should add it to the firmware thread because I don't want someone to accidentally flash this and brick the GT-I9100 device.

Beat me with a cricket bat and call me Andy! This SOB is nearly a GB is size!!!!!
WTH is in this firmware?

Crap, is this firmware good or something lol, i already loaded a custom rom on my one

it seems this firmware has problem browsing internet thru wifi.
Has no problem isung 3G but no thru wifi.
my other mobiles, notebook have no problem connect internet by using same router

I've added this to the carrier firmware thread in the dev forum along with kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/L13G7SSOVN
Please do not flash this on a normal GT-I9100 device, the firmware is for the GT-I9100T model and I don't know if it's compatible

Hey mate I'm in exactly the same boat as you, have an aussie vodafone sgs2, any chance you know the difference between the i9100 and the i9100t?
Also which kernel are you going to use? As im not sure which would be the correct one.
Thanks

Hmm didnt notice the GT-9100T at first.
How/What should i check to compare with the normal 9100?
as for the firmware. since the model number is different can i still flash a custom rom and root it as normal?

I got no idea if anything is different and if it is it's nothing visible.
I'm not going to flash anything till I find out just to be safe

The only difference is in the link.

Ok so looks like there is no difference hardware wise. Makes sense that the optus one doesnt care about the 850Mgz band but i thought all GS2s were quad band.
Didnt expect a difference between them
i guess ill just try flash some stock and custom roms and see what happens.
does it matter that the custom roms are build on KF4 and i only have KF2?

Not sure on that one, hopefully someone can answer that for us.
If you do flash one let me know which one you use.
Also I assume you haven't rooted either, as I said I am going to wait for the moment.

I dont think rootingis going to be a problem, im sure superoneclick or something will be fine.

not sure what i can replace with what etc

can anyone help me to find csc for optus or australia ? sorry i am posting it here

So if I flash these files with ODIN, will this return my SGS2 - i9100T back to stock and return its warranty status, or do I need reset counters or something like that?
Thanks

Hi there...let me shed some light. I've flashed the previous version (KE6) of the Vodafone AU rom not realising it was a Vodafone AU rom on my GT-i9100 and it did not brick my phone. Instead, after flashing, my phone now says its a GT-i9100T
According to a thread I read here, the only diff between the GT-i9100 and GT-i9100T is the SAR value. The GT-i9100T has a lower SAR value, which, if I am not wrong, means that it is less harmful to humans
Apart from that, the hardware is identical between the GT-i9100 and GT-i9100T. I have been using the previous version ROM now for 2 days and so far so good ;-)

Been an idiot :(

I managed to format my Galaxy Tab 10.1 in CWM and now it won't allow me to mount USB storage to transfer a ROM back to the device...
So I'm stuck in limbo, I can't boot. Can you upload and install a ROM through ODIN?
Any guides on how to get around this?
THANKS!

You can use ODIN and flash back to a stock Samsung ROM and then flash a custom ROM.

had to do this myself for some reason. Just make sure the rom works with Odin and is for you country and version of the tab. can't remember why I started to have to do this but I made it worse before better using the wrong ROMs. So be specific about where you are and version of tab so people can help right the first time.

Install the Restock versions with odin and you should be OK. Happened to me as well a couple of times

Look for the <<Re-“Stocking” Yer System…>> section

My bad.
It's Canadian - Wifi version 16GB. Purchased 3 weeks ago.

No problem. Just from tapatalk I can't see some info in sits and stuff. looks like you got some more knowledgeable help from another poster. I'm in the states so I'm not the helper you want. Not to mention I'm wireless only.
Best of luck. Let us know if you get it.

Did you try any other rom?

Isn't the GT-P7510 a WI-FI only model and you say its a Telus which would be GT-7500 with 3g?

Guess it could be a Telus branded WI-FI only 7510 tab.
If it's actually 3g, or whatever they like to call their carrier service, and you can use their carrier service or anything other than WI-FI only. Then it's actually a 7500.
It could be some other crazy hybrid I've noticed being posted about lately other than GT-P7500 & GT-7510.
I'd check the back of the tab at the bottom and confirm what model you have before continuing to try to root.
Kinda hard to read, being so small and almost the same color of the tab, but the model number there is what I'd trust, at least more than the box.

I can confirm the lable on the outside and the information in side the about phone menu say GT-P7510
since I can not get CWM to work with out that crazy screen scrolling all over the place, is it possible to take a rom zip and extract the files and use odin?

managed to root my device just had reflash with a stock US firmware first now just looking for good roms to to run

Good luck finding a good ROM that is for a 7510 that supports anything other than WI-FI ONLY.
Of course if it is WI-FI ONLY I'd suggest Task 14.
Overcome ROMs have both 7500 & 7510 version so support may be a lot easier to get and more forthcoming there if it's anything more than WI-FI ONLY.

Sorry, but I have no idea what you are saying. Try using some proper grammar and, secondly, explain what is wrong. Simply saying that it ruined it isn't enough. Chances are, if you flashed from ICS, that you bricked your Note.

This should be the correct stock UK ROM to install: N7000XXLA6_N7000XEULA1_XEU

Op please confirm that your phone model is N7000. Don't get confused and flash the wrong Note Roms.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2

From what I get :
1. You upgraded to ICS.
2. It was bad.
3. You tried going back to GB.
4. You flashed the wrong ROM.
5. You need your phone to work again.
First of all we need to know the model number of the phone. Is it N7000!? N7000! If it is, hold down the power button, the home key and the volume down key. Does anything happen? If yes then most likely you're in download mode.
Now you just want to download stock GB/ICS UK ROM and flash it with PC Odin. How?
Here's how:

Until dev get their hands on the LTE version you have to live with it. I'm sure the Korean Note 2 works on all bands except USA if that's what you're asking.

I thought Korea version SHV-E250s have supports different bandwidths, will it support the 3G and 4G EE in UK though~~~

you can root the E250S by flashing recovery.img found in these forums in odin
DO NOT flash boot.img that is sometimes also in the odin tar file or you will not be able to boot into android or recovery.
(although to fix simply flash the stock boot.img back)
source: I rooted mine
(32GB version, LTE)

Thread open until verified...Thank You.

Any pic to proof? I assume this will work for N7105 too... Care to explain step by step tutorial?

This will work for E250K? I suspect that it should right?

Any progress on rooting the Korean Note 2? How many people on this forum have a Korean Note 2? Mine is the E250L (LG telecom)

I have the SHV-E250L (LG U+) and I going to try to stay unrooted.
This info only applies if you are in Korea but with my last Korean Galaxy phone, I took it to the A/S center to get a broken earphone replaced, and they tapped into my phone for 20 minutes trying to prove that it was rooted so they can deny me a free replacement. I know that is just bad luck with the service staff that day. But once they verified that it wasn't rooted, they gave me new earphones. To avoid that kind of hassle because the service at least for the first year is great (free shattered screen replacements while you wait and such), I think try to keep it unrooted for as long as possible. Let's see how long I can hold out...
Most of the reasons I rooted and put roms in the past was to gain access like wifi tethering, better battery life, and better functionality, but none of those are issues with this device. Wifi tethering is enabled without restrictions out of the box and without extra charge.

Some questions about this device
Hi All,
Since this seems to be the only GN2 version available with 32gb internal storage, I am feeling a strong temptation to buy it. However, I do have some concerns I am hoping you owners can address:
1) Is the DMB antenna obvious? I looked at the Samsung Korea site, and most of the photos don't show it. Does it retract or detach in some way? I know I won't be able to use it in the US so am hoping it will be easy to forget about.
2) Does it have a FM radio receiver like the international version?
3) Is the user experience the same as the international version if English is selected as the default language?
Ideally I would like to eventually be able to flash an international rom into the device, but I know that's not possible now. Are any of the current owners expert enough to offer an educated guess as to whether it will be possible in the future?
Thanks for your help and advice.
