There is no LG6/LG8 for UAE. The latest is LFB/LF3.
Link for latest UAE firmware.
Backup is recommended.

[Q] Where to get official samsung ROM for i9003

Hi all,
I know there is a thread having a list of samsung official ROMs for galaxy i9003. My problem is different, I had a custom ROM installed in my phone. Later I downloaded and installed DXKF1 and tried to update it through kies. I noticed in that it is KOR(Korean?) version of the rom. I need an Indian version(INU).
Is there any difference in the ROM itself or is there an option to select different CSC? I need to update the Indian version as samsung has released support for Indian local languages.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] How to upgrade JPKJ2 to INU ICS ????

EXPERT ADVICE NEEDED !!!!
I would like to upgrade my S2(International) from the UAE CSC to the official Indian ICS version. Please help !!!
I have already downloaded the official XXLPQ/ODDLP7/DDLP8.tar.md5 ICS for India. Do I do this directly with Odin3 even though I have a different CSC ???
Also the most important thing to ask is :--
"Should I flash the Stock Kernel XXLPQ (I have this too) thru Odin3 BEFORE I UPGRADE to the official XXLPQ/ODDLP7/DDLP8 ???"
Somebody please guide me thru this with the necessary steps or Links !!!!!
THANX IN ADVANCE !!!

you can upgrade by flashing that downloaded package via odin.
your csc will change to india when you flash the rom.
no need to flash lpq kernel before upgrading

Where can I find the latest ICS firmwares ?? I'm looking for Canada

I went on the samfirmware.com website but it says the latest firmwares are from Jan 2012 ???? how is that even possible ?
I am looking for the latest firmware for Canada. I know it was released recently, because my friends are updating, but I'm on a custom ROM and I just want to find the latest ICS firmware and flash it.
Please help!
Depends on the model of the phone..... Look in that specific model and region and you will get latest for that.
It's don't have to be Canada, you can flash latest from any region if it's for your phone.

[Q] How to change CSC from KSA to INU for S2

Hi,
I am sorry if this is a repeat question......
I have a S2 from Saudi Arabia with CSC: KSA (UAE).
I want to change CSC to INU (India).
1. How can I do this?
2. Will I get official ICS India update through kies after I update the CSC?
use odin and flash official rom for india
Try csc changer from market. But it will reset your phone.

Does official rom for India means CSC, PDA and Phone or it is just one of them?
Also is it possible that I flash official GB 2.3.6 India rom and get official India ICS update from KIES?
Yes Odin package is whole stuff.
Yes you can also go that root, GB to ics via kies.
But Odin is better.

Flash official ICS via Odin, go to sammmobile.com click the firmwares tab then the smartphone link,then the Android link, then your phone model and finally your region.
Find the latest firmware for your actual location India or India and sub Continents, you will need to register to download it, then use Odin to flash it.

Thanks guys......it worked like peice of cake...... though after I updated to indian 2.3.6 version through kies said you cannot get updates through kies.....but I updated again to Indian ICS version (thanks to sammobile)......and it works fine....even kies is not giving any error now.....

if its not listed on sammobile then it might be an OTA update
currntly what rom/kernel ur phone is into
If its a custom rom then do flash the Stock ICS firmware for ORANGE UK and then see if u get an OTA update to JB4.1.2
Also u can check the link below

Well i currently have the rom for the Vodafone UK network. But that not longer works as I am with Orange. Yeah i checked out that link and that is what confuses me. Why would you release a 4.1.2 update for pretty much the whole on europe for the orange network but not the uk?
Currently download stock ICS to see if there is another update.
Very strange.
UPDATE - Fixed
**Update - Solved**
Hi I just thought i'd come back to my original thread and post a solution to this problem.
If anyone get this issue then what I did was go to samsung-updates dot com and downloaded a stock rom called Region: XEU and with a version id of: I9100XWLSW.
Works a treat and will recognise the orange / Everything everywhere / t-mobile network.
Thanks
