The latest UK stock firmware is XWKI4 and it is avaiable in Intratech's official firmware thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Its in the 2nd post and the link isn't broken
Search Samfirmware.com for a generic UK stock rom.
Just wait till later today then flash the new official UK firmware.

List will show latest firmware .
Kies will only update if the phone provider has updated for your phone not because other users have later version or their is a later stock rom or you have not followed the upgrade path .

For Germany the latest officially released firmware is still XWKI4 (Android 2.3.4).
You can check with KIES or Check Fus Downloader (=> http://fus.nanzen.se/).
P.S.: I am running XWKL1 Frankenstein ROM from Intratech (=> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278) and planning to update to XILA2 Frankenstein ROM.

I'm getting 2.3.5's KI8 from KIES (German S2, bought from o2, CSC "VIA"), tried recently just for fun.
I am actually running KK5 via Odin, never use KIES for anything, esp. not for updating

Ok, thanks...but the check fus downloader doesn't display my version I9100RWADBT...why??
In Checkfus you need to select GT-I9103. This is your model of phone (you have a Galaxy R).

Not kernel,What stock ROM/Firmware do you want??
If you only want the stock kernel then you will need to give us the original firmware you have on your phone.
unable to locate stock rom
I have recently purchased an sgs2 (actually came to my senses and swapped it for a blackberry) and have been scouring the forum for information on how to restore the rom to stock so I have a base to start from. I am new to Android so excuse my ignorance on this. If I do a *#1234# I get the following:

I am based in South Africa and can use the phone as normal but it does currently seem to be a bit unstable and the Market Place crashes fairly regularly on the phone. My carrier is Vodacom South Africa and from research the ROM I have on the phone is a generic for Europe (not sure if this is relevant).
In Kies, there is a message that says updates cannot be done using KIES.
I have tried download the stock ROM from the links on the forum but multiupload.com seems to be down or has very high congestion.
HELP PLEASE!!!

The real question I have is which is the correct ROM to download? There is such a lot of information that I am totally confused now.
On all the posts I've seen so far the one to download for South Africa could be many different versions. What is the relevance of this information?
XWKI4
Firmware info
PDA:XWKI4
PHONE: XXKI1
Date: 14/09/2011
Android 2.3.4
What information do I use to determine the correct version of file to download. I am completely confused by the mass of information available, especially considering my phone is currently running what I assume to be XXKI3 which is non south african.
Could it be that my phone was originally purchased in Europe? If thisd is so should I be installing a version of ROM for that region or will any region do?
Bazilla said:

What firmware was on the phone originally or what firmware do you want .

Who knows ???
CSC: I910OXAKI3 but that reads as Polish CSC from memory .
Its normal to download the firmware for the location the phone is being used in .
Its also usual to download the latest version .
Its the CSC that gives local network details and the baseband /modem that may be changed if poor reception .
XILA2
Android 2.3.6
This package has: PDA: XILA2| Modem/phone: XXKL1| CSC: XEUKH2
Latest posted for the UK .
I would flash that enter network settings if needed manually .
CSC or modem can be changed later .
Note multiupload is closed down for good you will need a Google search or Sammobile .com for firmware .

This is a South African Firmware and although its 2.3.4 it contains the regional info (CSC) that you need to make it stable.Dont forget to do a factory reset after flashing.

Is this update?
Skickat från min GT-I9300 via Tapatalk 2
meant to say.... is this up to date? as the phone has been unlocked i am unsure How i will recieve updates.
What do you mean is it up to date ??
What does KIES say ???
Ask 3 UK what their latest firmware is ..
You are dependent upon your vendor to push out the updates
Or are you asking is what is the last released firmware that may not be for your phone ??
LG8 LG9 some countries only LH1 some countries only modem only update .
You could join XDA Developers and flash whatever you want .

KIES says it is uptodate. ut i see there are more recent ones on xda.
This phone was bought via ebay as unlocked, i am using a t mobile sim , I have no idea if i should expect t mobile/samsung or three.co.uk (who the phone is from originally) to update any firmware. I am not keen on rooting and flashing as everything is working and i am more concerned about a reliable device. I guess there are differences if done OTA or via USB/Kies ?

Yes but not for your phone but they will work on your phone .

The original seller 3UK is your update souirce ..
I am not keen on rooting
But a stock rom does not require rooting its a standard Samsung rom
and flashing as everything is working and i am more concerned about a reliable device. I guess there are differences if done OTA or via USB/Kies
OTA is usually a smaller patched firmware Kies would be a full rewrite .
But thats guesswork not seen Kies or OTA on my phones for years .
99% of XDA involves rooting or flashing as that's why we exist .

Same method probably even the same thread
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
however now using Kies it says your device does not support software upgrading via vies. I guess i may get OTA ones.
If Kies says this, your phone isnt on the software version it shipped with.
is that a problem ?, i guess it is because i flashed the above ?

EDIT: The headline is supposed to say - 'Flashing a stock rom to a BRANDED phone'
Hey guys!
I've recently acquired a Galaxy S3 yet my carrier has decided to brand the phone (Three). I've been talking to them about getting them to debrand it but they will not do it for free, and they say that once debranded I won't be able to receive OTA.
My question now is: Will I, if I do it myself, be able to flash an unbranded stock rom located on the internet using ODIN and still receive OTA updates, or is there something preventing me from doing this?
Cheers
Mikkel
I had the same issue (orange),
Go to SamMobile download the latest unbranded btu (uk) version 4.1.1 and flash with odin.
As you flashing the official stock firmware you don't need to be rooted and your counter won't change.
You will then get the ota updates from Samsung and not your carrier or you can just keep flashing the latest versions as above.

But I suppose I have to find one that comes from my country, which is Denmark. The only one I can find on sammobile appears to be a branded version from Three.

Go to the Sammobile.com site then the firmwares link and select
Type - Smartphone
OS - Android
Model - this will be your phone for example GT i9300 - Galaxy S 3
Country - and from the drop down lost select Open Europe OXA
That is non branded European version 4.1.1, it should work fine for you.
Totally up to you this is just a suggestion to get rid of the branding from 3 which is the only version listed under Denmak itself in the country list
Use CHECKFUS to download any current firmware from Samsung and flash via Odin .
jje
Thanks a bunch guys. This is great help!
Before I start flashing the rom is there anything I have to do? Do I have to backup/wipe/reset the phone or do I simply start download mode, connect it to my PC and flash the new rom using Odin?
