[Q] New Firmware - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got my S II with custom MIUI ROM. Then I downloaded and flashed with Odin stock 4.0.3. ROM. Everything was OK, then it updated over WiFi to 4.0.4 and installed some other updates and this is what I got on my phone now.
after dialing *#1234#:
VERSION
PDA : I9100XWLPX
PHONE : I9100XXLQ6
CSC : I9100NEELP5
Build info : Wed Aug 29 13:25:19 KST 2012
(and 1st phone screenshot current info)
Today I updated Kies on PC to latest version, plugged in my phone and got message that there is new firmware.
(2nd screenshot on PC)
When I try update over WiFi I get no new updates available...
According to SamMobile Firmware page this update is 4.0.3 (http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9100&pcode=NEE&os=1&type=1#firmware)
Nordic countries ------- 2012 October ------- 4.0.3 ------- I9100XWLPY ------- I9100NEELP6 ------- Download ------- Unlock ------- Info
Why does it want me to downgrade?
So should I update or not?

It does not want you to downgrade. The only difference between the 2 firmwares is the csc version.
your current version is csc LP5 NEE.
updated version on kies csc LP6 NEE.
apprently kies version has a newer csc.

1. will it remain on current 4.0.4 version?
2. will this process of updateing CSC delete everything (factory reset)?
3. should I do it ?
Thanks.

sorry i missed one other peice of information.
It will be upgraded to XWLPY which is newer then XWLPX.

[Q] Where to find latest original COMCEL Colombia firmware?

I actually have this setup after flashing and rooted XXKI4 (intratech tread), every things ok but my Product Code change from "COM" to KOR".
PDA: I9100UHKH3
PHONE: I9100XXKI4
CSC: I9100COMKH1
Build Info: Thu Aug 25 11:42:14 KST 2011
ROOTED: YES I9100XXKH3
Android Version: 2.3.4
Then I Restore in Recovery Mode a original firmware's full Backup I made before flash (Product Code return to COM), thinking Kies recognize it as original upgradable but don't.
Now I need flashing with the original firmware (Colombia Comcel "COM")
Thanks for your help...

Here you can find the links, but some of them are dead. You need to ask Intratech to post new link for yours.
If you're after the original firmware that came with your phone, you're probably out of luck. However, you can get the latest firmware available for your phone/carrier/country using an app called Checkfus. Search for it on here.

Have a look at this thread, they are all stok roms you need to download Odin and find the rom that fits with your country http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 try the 3rd post for 4.0.3 roms download the correct one and flash via Odin. After flash do a factory reset to clear out any old 2.3.3 stuff. Remember to backup your apps contacts etc first.
XWLPF appears to be the most recent one for you just confirm you are using a Samsung i9100 and not i9100g.

[Q] Question about ROM and Basebands

I have an unbranded and unlocked S3. My original ROM Firmware was
PDA:LE8 PHONE:LE8 CSC:LE4
My baseband isI9300XXLF2 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
I loaded a new ROM
I9300XXALF2
Base Firmware: I9300XXALF2 (4.0.4)
Region Europe
Country: United Kingdom
Carrier: Unbranded
Build Date: 5 June 2012
Modem: XXLF2
CSC: OXALF2
Change List: 671647
My firmware has changed but shouldn't the Baseband change as well? I also was surprised that all of my apps and everything were still there. I thought this would be wiped out on a new ROM. Do I need to worry about the Baseband and what is it? I am also curious because I did all this to get the latest OTA. I still am unable to get it. When I sign up for the software updates should I say UK as my country even tho I am in the USA. Will it matter?
LF2 IS the latest OTA.
can you post a link with your stock rom?
Baseband is Modem and like the CSC it is not always upgraded with each firmware revision .
It is also flash able on its own from the stock roms thread as per instructions .
Likewise CSC and also likewise Kernels .

Australia (Telstra) 2012 May 4.0.4 I9300TDUALE6 I9300TTELALE6
I got no idea how all this rooting stuff works. Im trying to learn but I can get my head around it. So sorry if any of my questions seem stupid. Thanks for all your help in advance.
No need rooting to flash.
And yes you can flash Telstra firmware on Voda model, they are the same hardwares.
You need Odin 3.04 and need samsung usb driver or if you already have it working with Kies, then no worries about driver.
Here I copied the general instruction from the UK thread:
Instructions For Flashing Firmware:
Extract the firmware
Launch Odin
Turn off your device
Put your device into Download MODE (Home + Volume Down + Power)
Click PDA and select *.tar.md5
Then finally click START!
Thanks mate. Am downloading the firmware now. Its gonna take 2 hours to download.
Am I meant to change any of the options in Odin3?
Thanks again.
Now that I have flashed my galaxy s3 successfully.
I keep getting the message "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped"
Does anyone know what this is or can direct me into the right place? Ive done a factory reset as another thread recommended but didnt work.
Thanks

HELP!!!! Firmware troubles

Hi
I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction as i'm at the end of my tether.
I have the bog standard S3 GT-i9300 Nordic (purchased in Sweden)
Trying to flash back to stock firmware I downloaded the I9300XXBLH3_I9300NEEBLH2_I9300XXLH1_HOME.tar.md5 firmware (4.0.4) Downloaded from Sammobile
Flashed with odin
Restart loop - so I went into recovery mode, cleared cache and reset, restarted fine....
Upon restart phone downloads firmware update.... Updates
The in settings - about device i have Android version 4.1.1 - Baseband version I9300XXDLID Build number JRO03c.I9300XXDLJ2 (French??)

Although this firmware lets me use my Telia Sim card it will not let me use my 02 simcard - Now I know the phone was originaly unbranded & unlocked
I then went into Kies and restored there, entering the phones serial number etc.
The phone was then updated to 4.1.2 (Russia) I9300XXELL4
I have no idea what I have done for the phone not to restore back to stock official Nordic firmware that is unlocked.....
Any help is very much gratefully received.
