I am kindly asking for help. I really want to have the newest firmware for my Ace but I am so confused by all these ROMs and CWMs and CFRoots etc. I have some knowledge about these things but I am new to Android. I see that flashing a new firmware with odin is not that complicated. But I have a problem. My phone is locked to Telenor network. Is it a problem? I dont know what is XXKA6 and can I install KPN?
Can I update???!!!
I don't know about the lock but KPL is for you its a Nordic version 2.3.3
*edit* Maby not, I didn't know telenor was in other country's than Nordics

You can flash to KPN. My phone is locked to Smart here in the Philippines but I'm enjoying KPN's benefits right now.
enjoy.

Hi,
All the fw's in the link are original ones.... u can either port the NZ one or Australian version or Indian version or the UK one.... There are versions like 10A, 10B, 10C .... Go for either 10A or 10B because the latter one's can't be rooted.
Also, avoid using swearing words in this community bro, the moderators mite even delete ur account.
Regards,
Mithun.

Have benchmarked it.
Hello all i'm new here and have a problem.
I have a Sgs2 I9100P on Orange (uk) and i took it to a shop to unlock.
When i got home and turned the phone on it said I9100 where as before it used to say I9100P. Also the OS was now back to gingerbread but i had upgraded to ICS before i took it to be unlocked. So i thought ok ill upgrade back to ICS through kies like i did before. When i tried to upgrade kies just says it cant do anything to the phone. Its like it doesnt recognise the firmware.
The guy at the shop seemed to having difficulty unlocking the phone and he did have to flash it. He did manage to unlock it but i think he has put the wrong firmware on the phone.
I have managed to find a stock ICS orange network firmware for the I9100P and was thinking to flash that firmware with Odin. I have never flashed my phone but have read some tutorials and it seems straight forward.
So basically do you experts think it would work and would the phone still be unlocked?
If you need more information i should be able to provide. Thank you in advance for any advise anyone can give.
Yes flash orange bvlp6 for gt-i9100p though odin and you will be fine and the phone should still be sim unlocked .l unlocked my phone on GB and now updated to ics and still unlocked dude

How u installed the update?
Throught Odin, right... So u used a "orange"based firmware...
So just search for a "normal" one (f.ex. here) and flash it in same way...
That should fix ur problem

Choose which version u want...
I would recommend to use the latest one of 4.0.4 u can find.
The 4.1 is already Jelly Bean but not as stable as the other ones....
I saw it's now with actual firmwares....
So load the firmwares from sammobile
(Search =i9100 then u got a list, sort by date)
CHEERS
well, thank you so much!! really appreciate it ... will do it and tell you if it works or not
same thing!!! locked and request a code could someone please help?

this one :
I9100XWLPT_I9100XXLQ6_I9100XEULPA_XEU
here's the info from the post :
I9100XWLPT Download (Thanks To SamMobile!)
Base Firmware: I9100XWLPT (4.0.4)
Region: Europe
Country United Kingdom / Ireland
Carrier: Unbranded
Build Date: 27 July 2012
Modem: XXLQ6
CSC: XEULPA
Change List: 941023
Separate Kernel: Download (.TAR)
Separate Modem: Download (.TAR)
and the phone has the orange logo on back...after installing this rom i think the phone is locked!! and even if i use galaxy s unlock it doesn't work
but why the phone was working on the 2.x firmware? was it unlocked with galaxy s unlock? does galaxy s unlock work only on old Firmwares?
and now what's the solution? is there a custom rom to install? something to do after installing the rom? or do i have to reinstall 2.x and unlock it with galaxy s unlock? will this work?
First get a micro sd card. Plug it into your computer and download a stable rom into the micro sd. Make sure you leave it as a zip file. Go to your phone's recovery and select the new rom.
Best of luck,

Well if you flash a fresh stable rom, it will reset your unlocks

This has become a huge problem for me too.
I've used the i9100 for a year. At the beginning unlocked it, and tried hundreds of ROMS (CM,MIUI...), and never had a problem with Network Lock.
Before selling it(ebay), I updated it to 4.0.4(unbranded) and send it. BAM! The buyer told me it had a Simlock... Uh :silly:??? I told him not to worry, and bought an IMEI Unlock code for him. He said didn't work, I couldn't believe it, but it is so.
Now I have again my SGS2 here, with the symptoms:
- Compilation LPW
- Network Locked
- Galaxy_S Unlock by Helroz does not work.
- Chainfire's method finds the same Unlock Code that I bought for 9€. But they don't work!:crying:
I will flash a 4.0.3 ROM and see what I can do.
Let u know.
Cheers.

I am downloading 4.0.4 LQ2 (Nov. 20129) and hope 4 something.

Wow I wonder how you thought of that.
got the i9100 version or think thats it, not sure if its factory unlocked but it is now, when will it be available as at the moment you have to root and have a bootloader or something, so confused aha, thanks
I don't understand a word of what you're saying to be honest.. You're looking for official JB for the UK? In that case a simple search-and-read-combination would have shown you the available rom is from Spain but is flashable with Odin, also in the UK.

Ok, we get it, you have been smoking some crack tonight.
Only unbranded and O2 phones are factory unlocked.
If you cant work out your phone model theres not much hope.
You dont need root to use stock roms.
If you cant wait for UK unbranded official JB then use that Spanish one, or flash the LSJ leak using Odin
as Ive found it flawless.
Hi guys,
I have a Sony Xperia U (st25i) and the bootloader is locked
So i've gathered I can't root the phone unless i'm in ICS. This is the problem tho... I am with T-Mobile and am currently running Android 2.3.7.
My question is, in my current situation how do I upgrade to ICS (T-Mobile says I have the latest upgrade) also i'm assuming once i'm in ICS I can do some fancy stuff than compared to the Android version I'm in right now !!
Thanks for any help guys.

Hi bz786,
I was in a similar situation like you. had a Xperia U and SIM locked to a company. Instead of endless waiting for the company to release the ICS, I just did flash by myself.
Well... there would be no fancy stuff anyway.. unless you root it and install a custom ROM cuz the stock ROM or company ROM always uses up most of the tight 512M ram cap...
Cheers,

AW: [Q] Questions from someone without a clue
Hey bz786!
Dont worry you can flash the firmware yourself using the programm "flashtool". Just do some research in google. And here is a link for a .54 firmware and "root-tuorial" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34983966
And by the way, you post.this request in the wrong forum! :what:

Thanks guys! I went ahead and used flashtool but... now I have a problem
So once ICS was installed I was ecstatic however my 3G was not working. So what I did was go to the phone settings and download the internet settings again but now the 3G is much slower than previously on Gingerbread. I think I messed something up with the baseband or installed a firmware which has the incorrect firmware settings (for me).
Does anyone know where I can download (UK, UNITED KINGDOM - This is a must I think for the 3G) Sony Xperia U ST25i T-Mobile ICS stock ROM? (Wow that's a mouthful LOL)
Thanks guys!
Pribably you didnt exclude baseband when you flashed ics, because almost all ics here is for i version and you have a, just reinstall ics again and exclude baseband

I'm pretty sure i'm on ST25i, not A and you're right I didn't exclude baseband. Haven't I lose my baseband settings by not excluding it the first time?
