This is firmware versions and you could normally expect that the newest (highest number) always is the one to bet your money on ^^
So XWKE7 is the latest firmware upgrade?
How come kies shows I'm up to date with firmware XWKE2?

There is nothing wrong with your new baby...
What you experience now can be compared to the feeling you could have if you suddenly thought there was something wrong with your new chick and everybody else had an upgraded and better one..
Relax and chill down.. Your new girl is just fine ^^
What you could do is to ask yourself if you want to tickle her under the “hood” or wait for the official fix every new girl will get later anyway..
If you would like to be hero or not is up to you…
It’s not like this is climbing Mount Everest or something,,,

Hello, I have a 2 doubts: my samsung galaxy s2 is factory unlocked. My first question is: how to see the current firmware into my phone? - Where I can find the latest firmware (XWKE7 - to update via Odin) ?
The second question is: To overclock my samsung galaxy s2(factory unlocked) is necessary and required to root your phone??.
Thanks, regards
so, shall i take it that these are not official updates ?? If so, i am relaxed. But forgive me for the question but i am only a blond girl ).. : i am reading that there are many updates after my version.. and why i am told on kies that 'this device will not get the update.. and at the same time they say that there ARE new updates.. And one more question : when i get ( if I) my update, will it be to the next version .. or it will be to the last one? because my version is very old ...

The answers to your questions takes about 10 seconds if you use the "search" function, something that I politely recommend to you as a new poster - it will make everything easier for you. Why not start now?

These ARE official updates.
This all depends on your carrier. If you are on O2, for example, you will not yet see KE7 in KIES as it hasn't cleared with O2 yet (probably).
What you can do, and the instructions are in the 'Development' section of the forum, is remove the O2 branding from your phone. Your phone is then just 'generic' i.e. it hasn't been modified by O2. This means you get the updates as soon as Samsung release them!

But you may no longer get them via Kies .

Update path one official via Kies requires the phone provider to update the firmware from Samsung and upload to Kies server . Kies update is to latest version phone provider has uploaded .
Path two are Samsung stock roms that we flash ourselves via Odin .
As this may debrand your phone it may and i repeat may effect the warranty from the seller but not Samsungs warranty .Two the upgrade path via Kies may be closed and updates are now stock roms via Odin .

thank you for the answer. I bought my phone from Amazon . uk. , unlocked.. how could i know who is the phone provider???

Its probably generic then you try Kies for an update .No update on very old firmware i would try Samsung Service centre .

:-(( what if my phone is 'generic'? does it mean that i will never get any update ??.. And i really tried Kies.. but i was told that there is no update for my device... Please tell me what does ' generic' mean?.. sorry to be a nuisance .. but i am new at these ...and want to learn ... Unfortunately there is no samsung service in our country ..

Don't see there any for 9100P.

This is what I see for 9100P: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9100P&pcode=0&os=1&type=1#firmware
Why not use KIES? I used it, and its perfect for me.

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,

See if Spockys Galaxsim unlock works.I cant be arsed checking if it wirks on gb or ics or what,but you can.
Its only O2 phones or unbranded ones that are unlocked by default.

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.

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

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!
