Unbranded Norwegian rom/modem/csc/kernel

I have an unlocked norwegian SGS II that I have installed custom rom on. But I forgot to keep track on what original firmware there should be in this phone.
Would be nice to know which rom/modem/csc/kernel I should have to make this telephone back to stock. (in case of warranty etc)
Also is the csc available to be flashed into the roms I use (villainrom 2.4.2)?

The most recent official stock Norwegian firmware was KF3, CSC was either XEE or NEE (can't remember which, but from previous experience there seems to be no difference).
You can always install an older stock ROM - f.ex KE2 or KE7 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
- then you can connect to Kies and you should get an update notification/installation automatically deppending on how you've configured it.
If you get into trouble - and you shouldn't! - I've got a backup of KF3 at home I think, I'll check it out later. Send me a PM if you want the files.

Maybe you should look in the firmware thread.

As far as I am aware there is only one version of the Galaxy S II on the market in Norway (unbranded). It has product code GT-I9100LKANEE and the latest official firmware is I9100XWKF3/I9100OXXKF1/I9100XXKE7/I9100XWKF3.
Go to http://fus.nanzen.se and you will be able to easily download this (or any other) firmware from Samsung's update servers.

Latest firmware on Kies

I've been away from the forum for a while and was hoping someone could tell me what the latest firmware is on Kies for UK phones. Don't feel like flashing my phone backwards just to find out.
Thanks

2.3.3 is the latest

Lie! There's no Brazil update.
Had to flash using Odin, which I recommend.

I've been waiting for 2.3.4 XEU to be available on Kies so I can update to official firmware. But I was just thinking...why do I care if its XEU or not? I can flash an official update from another region and still switch the language to english. I am in USA on AT&T anyway so its not like even XEU matches my country.
Am I missing something here? Is there a reason it matters to be on XEU for Americans?

It can depend if your phone is branded as the carriers can block Kies updates! There are serious problems with builds before KF3 (eg wifi sharing bug) so it worth flashing to that version if your carrier is blocking Kies updates. I updated about two months ago via Kies to build KF3 (2.3.3). I am in the UK unbranded O2/car phone warehouse. I am waiting for this latest new update to arrive on my s2 via Kies.

I am unlocked/unbranded. I think I'm going to just flash another official 2.3.4 firmware from Intratech's thread and then when a UK version comes out, I'll just flash that. I'm being patient for no reason Now I just have to figure out which region's firmware to flash....

He has posted an XEU CSC version. Just used it myself. It's perfect.
Just look for it in the thread.
GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWKI4_I9100XEUKD1_I9100XXKI1

Yep, KI4 includes english (US) I guess, so it shouldn't bother you.
I have to stick to UHKG7 because european roms don't include brazilian portuguese...

Right, but we're talking about Kies, KI4 isn't on Kies, nor is 2.3.4

what do you mean? i'm on NEE_I9100XWKI4_I9100XEUKI2_I9100XXKI1_I9100XXKI4 and can select English UK?

Why not use Odin, mate? Then you can have the latest fw version.

question: I wanted to check out if the new firmware is available in my country, so i just restored (from cwm) my original firmware (cf-root kernel), reflashed a original kf3 kernel.
But Kies message is "You cannot update this device type".
Did i forgot to restore something original? besides the "root" everything else (rom + kernel) is original.
Well np i go back to miui i dont rly care atm, but in future if icecream is released, i prolly want to try it and having a working kies makes it faster.
Any suggestion?

Seriously, man. Ice Cream will be melted loooong before it shows up on KIES. If/when it shows up and you want it sooner, you'll more than likely need to flash it via Odin. KIES is limited by carrier releases. My SII wouldn't update via KIES either. Odin is the standard around here for a reason. It's safer, and it allows you to try what YOU want when YOU want it. Not when your carrier and/or Samsung releases it.

[Q] Which is the G900M unbranded stock firmware?

Does anyone know which is the unbranded stock firmware for the G900M?

There is new firmware on sam mobile. G900MUBU1ANE2_G900MUUB1ANE4_ALE
That's the newest unbranded. I tested by flashing this last night, it appears to be identical to the shipping firmware on my factory unlocked G900M. There is no non-Samsung bloat and language selection seems identical..
LOL I was in between flashes anyway. Wanted to see if there was another OTA to 4.4.3 as some carriers have released it, but there is not yet.
It's the first version of the unbranded firmware I've been able to find actually..all the others seem to be branded to a carrier of some form.

Thanks for that, I will download that ROM

[Q] Lollipop: UK Note 4 Owners

Anyone in the UK got there OTA or Kies Lollipop update yet?

No update for me yet, however I think that Samsung will provide the network provider with the build then the network provider will add there bloatware and so on. I'm not 100% sure on this though.
Based on the CSC changing to a German CSC when I flashed the German DBT I'd have a guess and say flashing a UK ROM via Odin it would again change the CSC. Just a guess..
I have installed the German DBT and so far so good..

Hi mark, just wondering but I have a n910f UK version and I flashed the German lollipop build through Odin yesterday, although after giving it some time to boot it upgraded all of the pre-installed apps, the phone booted but all that showed up was a black screen and an empty notification bar, and kept rebooting over and over. anyone know what the problem could be?

Hi xjw1,
Not really knowledgeable enough to help much here. You don't say what you flashed the rom over. I flashed over bobcat rom and had already updated the bootloader too. I also did a full wipe in recovery before using odin. If you ask here you should get a response from an expert. Good luck. http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/910f-official-lolipop-germany-dbt-t3029508

Yup you use the German update you get the German CSC, flash to a UK one you'll get a UK CSC. But there is almost no difference.You'd be better off sticking to this German one. Whenever an update is pushed you will get it first. If you flash a UK ROM you'll be back in the same situation you're in now waiting for an upgrade. Sometimes the UK providers are weeks/months behind the German updates.
If you want any new OTA updates as soon as Europe gets them stick with this ROM. That is unless you want the UK bloatware. I'm quite surprised the only German stuff is deletable. I bet the EE/Vodafone stuff won't be.
Edit: Actually I take that back, I just checked my CSC and my phone is showing as Polish OXA strangely enough. Well I'm pretty sure I'll still get the OTAs first. What I said should still count for German/Polish updates as they get them first so ..........(fingers crossed).

Flashed German update still retained my UK CSC
Like Mcshave said am better off with German update than EE bloatwares.

But what does it mean if you are with German csc? Idk what csc means but does it add something that you use a German rom in another country? Still have not flashed it yet

Well I've got the German Rom on now, so far all seems well. I haven't done a reset just a dirty flash.
So all you guys who have done the same to your UK N4, will you flash the BTU when it's released or stay on the German Rom?

Your original CSC ought to be XSG(UAE). Nevertheless, since you've flashed the SLK firmware, there is no need of worry. By the way, you may not be getting new update since the firmware might be already latest, as last update to Sri Lankan firmware arrived way back in January. Just see the attachment.

You'll get updates, provided Samsung releases a new one in the UAE region. Which I think won't probably happen as Galaxy J5's two year support period is nearly over.
Nevertheless, I'd recommend you to change the CSC to INS(INDIA) by dialing *#272*imei 1# on your phone dialer and then choosing INS as the Sales code. Keep in mind that by doing so your device'll reboot and wipe all the datas.
As far as I know, J500F used to get more frequent updates in India than any other country.
Tnx.

Hi
Which android version do you have?
J5 is not getting many updates.After the 6.0.1 update there may not be anymore.
Plus if your phone is not official then it wont get any more updates.
