Hello all,
I am from Slovakia and bought Galaxy S2. My firmware says GINGERBREAD.XWKE2 I9100XXKDJ.
I would like to flash it with KE7 but its not official via Kies in my country. If i do that via ODIN, which version to choose? Is there a big chance to brick my phone?
Thanks

KE7 Generic XEU: probably best

Is there a big chance to brick my phone?
Very very small chance that gets bigger if you do not follow instructions .

Hey guys, sorry for bothering.
I already looked for entries from german users regarding the ke7 flash thing, but didn't find any helpful?! Also i'm below 10 posts so couldn't start a post within the ke... thread.
I'm a noob and confused with the several version available. I already recognized the different csc for language regions, but i'm not sure which one is the newest or correct one for a german sgs2.
May anyone please help me? thanks in advance.
I'm currently on
PDA XWKE2
PHONE XXKDJ
CSC XXKE2
OK, thanks for the info..
So i can flash generic XEU for KE7. If something goes wrong can i revert back to stock rom KE2? Also, what about the region things? Will they remain the same as in KE2?
Ke2 KE4 KE7 KE8 and now KF1
CSC you just want one that includes your area that is XEU = Europe .
listed .

Or check dev section for latest or wait for your official upgrade via Kies .

Hey there, this is my first post on this site.
I searched google extensively and was unable to find the original firmware for my phone. It is on crazy johns.
I currently have froyo 2.2.1 with:
PDA: I9000XXJPU
PHONE: I9000 XXJPU
CSC: I9000 OXAJPU
Build Info: 2010. 12.
Do you mean the original network branded firmware that came with the phone .
You either saved a copy or you find somebody that saved a copy .
Or use the non branded stock samsung firmware from samfirmware and flash via Odin .

Crazy Johns is just a Vodafone subsidiary. So you'd probably have the Vodafone Australia model. Product code VAU.
If CJs was not doing the Voda branded model, then they'd be doing the generic unbranded Australian firmware, which is product code XSA.
Just remembered their is an OZ thread on here somewhere might get more info from the guys on that post .

Thanks for that I'll look it up.
Do you have any idea what firmware I currently have? I've been looking into this on and off for a month and nothing has really come up to help me.
(I tried to use search but it is down).
I have a XEU handset that I de-branded from O2 PAYG. When I connect it to Kies it shows that I am running the latest firmware below even though I am de-branded. I thought hey whole point of being de-branded is getting the latest updates?
Current firmware version: PDA:KE7 / PHONE:KE4 / CDCKD1 (XEU)
Has the de-branding went wrong or is KF1 not out for XEU yet? I know Kies is crap but it is esier (and safer) than Odin.
Thanks.

No its to remove branding
Current firmware version: PDA:KE7 / PHONE:KE4 / CDCKD1 (XEU)
Has the de-branding went wrong or is KF1 not out for XEU yet?
Dependant as always upon product code that Kies reads .

So if it shows that I am running XEU in Kies then why won't it let me upgrade to KF1? Is it even out yet for XEU handsets?

kf1 is a leaked build
KE7 is the latest through Kies if you want to get KF1 you'll have to use odin to flash
My Kies still shows KE4 for me.... how do I de-brand to get KE7?
Someone tells that KF1 is a NON official firmware and samsung will release an official firmware only with the 2.3.4

I updated to KF1 and now Kies says this device can not be updated in regards to firmware. Can I just go back to KE7 ?

No update past KF1 so how can it update something that has no further update released yet .
Can I just go back to KE7
yes see dev section .

Can someone help me de-brand my phone? What do I need to do?
I have flashed my Note with the UK ROM LP4 and want to change my CSC code from the German CSC code ODT which I set after installing the German LPY ROM. But when I try using *#272*IME# then it just shows the ODT code with no other codes listed and no selection button for the ODT code.
Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks for all your help
I think the U.K. Rom you installed dude doesn't offer Multi CSC resource. You have to install a rom with Multi CSC resources.
Check Samfirmware and look for another U.K Rom you can flash and check later on if you can have the option of selecting ODT among the CSCs on that ROM.

There is only one other UK rom on Samfirmware which is for the carphone warehouse but how do you know if it is Multi CSC? I don't want to select ODT but the UK CSC which I think is XEU
Thanks for your help.
hmm.. hey listen.. i read this before, try this step: downgrade your phone to a all stock GB , there are a lot of it in Dr ketan's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997. Choose the very basic stock one. After you flash to stock, check if there is ODT on that, if it does have it. Then your good to go. Flash and back to your official U.K Rom, I'm sure the Mutli CSC from the previous one is already there. By the way, you need to flash the Rom only.. not the corresponding CSC files of your new UK ROM..

Thanks for your help I'm going to flash XXLC1 which is 2.36 and is called Open Europe so it should have the UK CSC code which I think is XEU. So I need to set that once LC1 is flashed then flash LP4 again. Correct? I notice in Samfirmware there are PDA and CSC files available. Can you just flash a CSC file? If so then there is no need to flash XXLC1 which is the PDA file.
When I flashed the UK LP4 rom I just flashed the PDA file. If I had also flashed the CSC file at the same time then perhaps I would be able to select the UK CSC code. As I have just flashed the PDA file can I now flash just the CSC file or do I need to start again and flash PDA and CSC together?
Sorry for all the questions, but I am a noob
I just checked it for myself and realised that only Korea CSC code is avaible to me after ICS Turkey version update. How can i revert to TUR CSC code which is for Turkey? I flash roms with mobile odin pro. Do you think it's something related to it ?
I managed to fix my CSC code problem by flashing the stock European GB rom XXKL8 which is multi-CSC. The other big advantage of the KL8 is that it does a full wipe which clears a lot of faults when you flash over other roms without a wipe.
With XXKL8 installed I was able to select the XUE CSC code for the UK and then flash the latest ICS stock rom for the UK. With the correct UK CSC code and correct UK rom I am now able to use kies or ota for future updates.

It's nothing to do with Odin. You need to find a rom, probably a regional one which contains multiple CSC codes including your Turkey code. You might need to flash a GB rom first which does a full wipe if you have been flashing several non-wipe roms to clear any errors.
Once you are able to set the Turkey CSC using the regional Multi-CSC rom then you can flash the ICS rom for Turkey then you will have the correct CSC code and correct rom so you will be able to use kies for updates.
Hope this helps.
To be honest i don't remember which Gingerbread CSC code i was using before the ICS update and moreover i didn't directly flash ICS Turkey version over gingerbread. I first flashed ICS LPY German then i flashed ICS Turkey on it. Before that i only used German , Open Europe and Turkey roms. So i don't have a clue where did that Korean CSC come from even tho i never flashed a rom with Korean CSC. Thanks for the tip but i'm scared to downgrade to gingerbread for the famous emc bug hard brick problems. I can bare with korean csc for now as i never flash roms through kies.

Flashing ROMS is never risk free. However flashing stock GB ROMS correctly using Odin appears to be reasonably safe. You can do a search for the correct CSC code for Turkey and change that but it will do a factory reset. If you don't have the CSC code which matches your ROM then you will not be able to update firmware using Kies.
Doesn't manual factory reset on a single-CSC ROM also change the CSC to that of the ROM...?
Hello. I live in Turkey and still no update for us.
So i suppose i can change CSC and get official update from kies.
How can i change CSC to UK ?
After i changed i suppose i will get official uk updates. But would this cause any problem since i live in turkey and uses different service providers
thank you
my phone is currently stock firm 4.0.4 and not rooted

You will need the full UK ROM from Sammobiles or checkfus.
This may give you the Korean CSC, if it does you will need to download the CSC changer for SGS/2/3 from the market and select BTU, this will wipe your data though.

The Turkish ROM contains the CSC for Turkey only I believe, you need to flash the latest ICS from Sammobiles or checkfus and flash through Odin, then change the CSC.
Btw the English ROM is BTU
and another Btw, we haven't got JB for unbranded devices in UK yet, only O2 and Three carrier branded.
when i type *#1234#
i get these
AP : I9300XXBLH1
CP : I9300XXLH1
CSC : I9300ATOBLH1
so which country is my phone right now ?
I don't know the sales code but if you Google Samsung sales code ATO you will be able to find out.
But because you bought it front Turkey there's a 99% chance ATO is Turkey. If you want the English firmware you needs BTU then change the CSC to BTU (English firmware has a few CSCs included)

CSC is not an upgrade path .
Unless you have the full correct HIDSWVER codes phone will not update .
Solution download stock firmware and flash via \ODIN .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
or use CHECKFUS to download any firmware and flash via ODIN .

There is a whole lengthy thread dedicated to UK firmware and discussion, all the information you could need or want is in there, if not, that would also be a good place to ask these kind of questions.
