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.

In poland and this just appeared on my Kies for update, so far don't see anything new

I dont think rootingis going to be a problem, im sure superoneclick or something will be fine.
but i dont quite understand how kernels and firmware work yet
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 ;-)

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?

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.

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.

[Q] Galaxy S5 SM-G900I stock rom ?

I have the Australian Optus variant of the SM-G900I and would very much like to flash to a stock version to get rid of the optus bloat
Has any one got this yet?
Also there seems to be some functions missing here in Australia, would the stock rom enable these or would we need to try another region variant?

yeah i am too...does ur camera shortcut work on the lock screen cause mine is missing..

Yeah not sure that is a good Idea yet, I read in another thread, that doing that broke ability to transfer from internal storage to SD storage.

sounds good...hope maybe there will be a stock 900I ROM for us to use without the aussie locks...

this rom will get you out of Auz blot on SM-G900i
Find this then flash with Odin.

SM-G900R6 VZW LRA Partner Carrier Variant Help Thread

Hi all, just came to the S5. My carrier (in my case, Bluegrass Cellular) is a carrier partnered with Verizon's LRA Rural LTE program.
More info can be found here. http://www.verizonwireless.com/news/2012/05/4g-lte-goes-live-in-rural-america.html
https://opennetwork.verizonwireless...s-modules/devices/SMG900R6_GalaxyS5_2808.html
This thread is intended to help others with this variant of the S5.
I thought I would take the lead in helping the small community with this phone looking to root and run custom roms as we did in the S4 thread in the Verizon S4 Help/QA Thread.
* our other thread for the S4, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2453312 *
We get our LTE phones from Verizon, and they are close-nearly clone variants of their original Verizon version. For example, for the Galaxy S4 I just moved from, SCH-545 (VZW) VS SCH-I545L (LRA) which even had an identical partition table. This s5 variant is in many ways equal to the Verizon dev edition. Also further evidence to support a mostly Verizon clone these phones share the same fcc id, a3l-smg900v
Status: What I've tried so far.
Root: Geohot's Towelroot worked successfully.
RECOVERY: UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER! use twrp or cwm whatever you please.
Kernel: I use ktoonsez kernel. Works perfectly. Highly recommended, this guy's work is amazing.
Custom ROM: installed and working! VZW custom roms work. If you guys want to try Verizon roms, just edit build prop to lra info, you can find it thread.. Just remember to restore apn aswell and it works perfectly. You can use kitkat TW roms like Alliance rom, OptimalROM, extreme syndicate etc.. some aosp roms work with (patch not needed) some roms have unexplained issues..i dont know what to do about them. Remember to flash kernel of choice (highly recommend ktoonsez) after rom aswell. Have fun!
I will update as I go along, anyone can feel free to post. Welcome any and all who have this phone for any questions.

I tried Alliance slimhyde and extreme syndicate. I think They have problems with our firmware tho.

Thanks for this thread it will come in handy in the future. Plan on staying stock for now but may root for the MoaAB list. I have the R6 through my tiny carrier in Michigan Thumb Cellular.
So does each LRA carrier release software updates at different times? I'm on NF2 as well. Will root cause update errors?

The lra carriers should release all at once, updates are pushed from Samsung. Root can cause errors but you can unroot and restore system changes. It will block ota alerts tho, but I have an Xposed module that bypasses the root check so I'll still get notified of an update. Safestrap backups also help out a ton, so you can make a stock system backup to restore later etc.

i did, says nothing about boot. everything else is ok. as far as testing the build prop, easiest way is probably to make a backup, and install build.prop editor app. it will create a romtoolbox folder on phone, then in that folder you should see build prop backups. paste it in there, open up app and restore it.

Hey guys
Has anyone tried to use a GSM Sim card? US or international, to test GSM capabilities of this model? Technically this phone should be an unbranded, unbloated Verizon model, which is SIM unlocked for US/Intl. carriers, unless the software restricts it.

Since our carriers use band 13 LTE like Verizon, it has to be unlocked.
I'm just curious what LTE bands it has.
