Hi,
I am a slight issue with unrooting my phone back to the stock rom jellybean 4.1.2. I am unable to find the stock ROM for the Orange UK carrier? I can find it for france, romania, poland etc.. but there is no UK?
Can anyone assist me in finding this please?

Yes I have and there are only 4.0.4 versions of the software.
I have also tried another popular firmware downloading site and still cannot find this and there are only versions for france, poland, romaina, spain and i think netherlands... no UK 4.1.2 anywhere to be found?

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

to be honest with you I dont have a clue if installing a different version does make any difference, have a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 for any IRL roms else maybe try the one from CPW Uk or just wait for somebody to explain it about the versions
uk o2 here with this version XWKF3/baseband ke7
Where did u buy it, is it from some operator (branded device), if yes, then which one, or it is in free sale in some store (unbranded) ?
If you bought it from vodafone ireland, then you have firmwares here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
firs and second edition.

So I recently bought Samsung Galaxy S2, coming from iPhone it's quite tricky when it comes to firmwares. My phone is the I9100G white model and I accidentally tried to flash the I9100 ICS firmware update.. But after researching on the net I was able to flash it back to the GingerBread firmware via Odin software. My query is that will I be able to get and install official firmwares from Samsung or not directly through KIES, if not than how can I shift back to the original firmware for my device which would work on KIES update.. Lastly has ICS been released for I9100G model as yet or not??? Your help would be much appreciated..!!
ics has not yet been released for the original firmware 9100g need to know from which country the sgs2
It's a UK Handset!

I bought the unlocked international version of SGS2.. I also wanted to know how to find out which country is my phone from although the seller claims that it's a UK handset.. If there is a way to find out do let me know... Thanks!!

I9100 SGS2 is international version and doesn`t matter from which country you bought
I9100G isn't distributed by any of the networks in the UK or even sold direct by any major retailer (well, maybe one). You should be able to check your IMEI somewhere like here to see where it's from.
ROM
Can you recommend any other custom ROM for I9100G model.. I have come across many ROMs for the I9100 but not the I9100G one..

If you haven't flashed custom ROMs or updated your firmware yet, your build number in the About Phone screen will (sort of ) tell you. It's a code that can be deciphered.
What is the build number?
type keyboard *2767*4387264636#
Build Number..

XW is a generic Europe code that could be many countries (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Nordic, Spain, United Kingdom).
LA1 means it was build 1 in January of 2012.
I believe you can further narrow down what country by finding your CSC by typing *#1234# into your dialer.
is india or bangladesh
I think you should be able to flash through Kies when you revert to the stock ROM. Here is a list of official I9100 firmware, I guess you could find yours in there.

Sorry. Made an a** of myself . My bad.
I missed in the first post of the thread where he said he flashed back to a stock firmware, so my suggestion was voided, since it was no longer the original firmware that shipped with his phone.

Yea exactly, thats what i want to know how can you revert back to the original firmware that would work with KIES..
Sent from my GT-I9100G using XDA
Two options.
1) Original firmware that came with phone; search for said firmware on Samfirmware.com, flash according to any instructions they have for flashing firmware downloaded from their site.
2) Latest stock firmware you'd normally get via Kies; get the PC version of Checkfus (search for it on XDA/Google). This will allow you to download the latest firmware for your phone/carrier/country that you'd normally get via Kies (might be the same firmware which came with the phone, depends on whether carrier has pushed a firmware update since or not). Flash this firmware you download following the instructions in Intratech's firmwares threads on here.

Hi everyone, I got a international s3 or European I just know it's not from my carrier directly. My question is will I be getting software updates according to my carrier/country or will I be receiving the updates the time it comes out in Europe? I'm asking because I updated to 4.2.1 about 2 months earlier than my friend did and he bought it straight from Vodafone NZ
Official 4.2.1?
I think it depends on your Carrier
You will be getting updates when they come out in Europe. Updates are actually pushed through according to your phone CSC as you have an international unbranded phone unlike your friend's Vodafone branded unit.

Oh by the way, is there any difference to the software updates between countries apart from them being released at different times? I was on International UK rom but I flashed NZ stock rom and now its seems im having quite a bit of battery problems, just wondering so I know whther to reflash international stock or leave it with NZ

I found heaps of guides but they only guide on how to go back stock from a custom rom. Im already on stock rom though and i want to revert back to international stock rom but NZ stock.
Soz im a noob, still new to this
it is no different
So which is true? Does software updates follow the carrier the phone is using (eg. Vodafone) or the region (eg UK/EU)??
