This is the firmware archive of the international variants of the Samsung Galaxy S2. The device was originally runs in Android 2.3 Gingerbread firmware when launched.
Yet it has received its last firmware update to Android 4.1.2 Jellybean in 2014. So the rest is part of the history. Anyways, just in-case you might need the firmware for the device, just simply grab the firmware version from the table below. However, if you couldn’t find of what you are looking for, you can still use other countries firmware build version.
Finally, I have my Singapore local set, Samsung Galaxy S II updated with the official firmware from Samsung. Rather than waiting for the official roll out of the firmware via Kies, I have obtained the packaged version and updated my set to the new Gingerbread 2.3.5 version. Below is the full instructions for the firmware upgrade. These are the files which you will need: a) b) (specify the Password – samfirmware.com) Phase 1- Preparation 1) Install the Samsung USB drivers 2) Unzip the main firmware file which will contain 5 files CODEI9100XXKI3CL577579REV02userlowship.tar.md5, GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKI3.tar.md5 MODEMI9100XXKI3REV02CL1062028.tar.md5 Odin3 v1.83.exe u10emmcEXT4.pit 3) Run Odin3 v1.85.exe file 4) Power off your Galaxy S2 Phase 2 – Upgrading and Updating 5) Hold Volume down key+ Home button key and press power on 6) Phone in download mode 7) Connect your phone with USB cable. And you should get the message “Added!!” under the Odin’s message box in the bottom left. 8) In the Odin application, check only Re partition, Auto reboot & F. Reset time in option 9) Specify files in Odin: PIT = u10emmcEXT4.pit, PDA = CODEI9100XXKI3CL577579REV02userlowship.tar.md5, PHONE= MODEMI9100XXKI3REV02CL1062028.tar.md5, CSC = GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKI3.tar.md5 10) Hit the start button and process will begin 11) Wait until your phone gets restart and then unplug the cable Now your Samsung Galaxy S2 will be updated to I9100XXKI3 Android 2.3.5.

Hi I am in Australia and purchased my phone from an online retailer – pretty sure it is a hong kong version. In About, I have a Android Version 2.3.3 Baseband version I9100XXKG1. Build number GINGERBREAD.ZSKG2 i want to upgrade to Android 2.3.4 to see if it fixes my poor battery performance, as I have read it can have an effect. However, I have no idea whatsoever which i should flash firmware too, or whether that matters or not.
I am a complete noob to the android platform. Any guidance would be appreciated! Hi jayce, thanks for response.Hav tried yr suggestion by switching to my apple 3gs with Digi. On airplane mode with Wifi its super fast. Switching back toSGS2 with Digi on data plan+Wifi, it becomes sluggishbut on Digi plan with Wifi off it became super fast Is the SSG2 android system designed to work with telco companies? That means when surfing the web? Hve read in ine SGS2 forums the Wifi connections can be really useless and crappy!!!!My house Wifi is Unifly Vip 10 and yet its still darn slow???Look forward to yr advise.Thanks/regs.

Or different? Will Kies give me further updates when connected via USB after Rooted? Finally Once Rooted will everything on my phone be erased ie contacts, photos etc? Many Thanks And Great Forum. Hi Jayce, I am from Malaysia. I super duper stupid went to update Android 2.3.4 with GT-I9100XEUI9100XWKH4I9100XXKH3I9100XEUKD1.
After done, i realize that it might void my warranty and some how is not my region firmware. So i would like to return to my original firmware version.
But i’m forgotten the original firmware code. Is XW or DX or others for Malaysia. I just remember that at the back show (xME). Do you have any idea that Samsung GS2 in Malaysia should use which official firmware? Please advise.
Appreciate that ?. Calm down bro:) 2. You need to root your phone. CF-Root is one way to do it: p.s: Make sure the CF-Root you download matches your kernel (in your case is XXOXAKI3). When your phone reboots, do not panic at the sight of the yellow triangle.
You can remove it by following this thread (works for me): 4. As a cautionary measure, do a backup using CWM Manager (CWM will be available after you root your phone): 5.
Download the zip file for the ROM 6. Install the custom ROM 7.
Note: In case you messed up, restore the backup made earlier: Hi Jayce, kindly confirm and feel free to add anything i missed out above. Hi Jayce, I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 in China only to find out later that it had been flashed with a firmware that contained loads of chinese apps that I couldnt delete. I brought it back to the place and asked them to remove it and upload the default stock firmware which they said they did. The only problem is that when i use the samsung kies software it says it cannot update the phone because it the firmware is not official. Your instructions seem pretty easy to follow so I was thinking about flashing it myself.
I was just wondering what stock firmware would be the best to install as I live in China but I am not Chinese (Irish)? If I install an Irish version will it work in China and allow me to update the phone using Kies? Is the yellow triangle when you turn on the phone the only disadvantage of not having using the USB jig as I think this will be hard for me to get? Looking forward to your response. Thanks a lot jayce.more power!! Can I also ask you re: wifi issue? Coz i have another SGS2, but the thing they’re both can connect to wifi connection but the other phone cannot connect to the internet, but the other one can, they have the same firmware just like i mentioned above.
But just a couple of weeks ago, they’re both fine all SGS2 can connect to the wifi then internet, now the other phone can now only connect to wi fi but cannot browse or get to internet. Hope u can help me again with this one. HI Jayce, i had rooted my sgs2 to a custom kernel and then unroot it to samsung official firmware XWKF1.

Hi Jayce, just wondering if you could give me some advice please mate? I’ve just received a SGSII with a custom ICS rom installed which is very buggy and I’m not happy with it at all. I want to revert back to stock Samsung firmware,which I can do thanks to your very helpful (and easy to follow) video and instructions, but I’m not sure which firmware version to get. I live in Australia and was hoping to get a version of Gingerbread 2.3.5 or 6 hopefully without any carrier bloatware. I was doing some research on the XDA Developers forum and came across a firmware version XWKK2 which I think is a generic Australian firmware but not too sure. Any advice on the subject would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, and keep up the great work.
I would like your help on the firmware I should download. I’m for JPKJ2 and I bought my phone here in Qatar. In the site, JPKJ2 has 2-3 links depending on which region I bought the phone but I’m troubled between the 2-3 links.
1st link: OJP (ABS, AFG, BTC, EGY, JED, KSA, LEV, MAT, MED, MID, MMC, MWD, OTU, PAK, THR): 2nd: XSG (UAE): 3rd: JPKJ2 Stock Kernel: Should I download all? Or choose between the 1st and 2nd link, and the 3rd link I still must download it? My region is in Qatar.
I rooted my phone but I erased my back up and I can’t unroot anymore. Thank you very much.
(Added inquiry) By the way Jayce, I have an Odin program but it’s 1.83 in which I have used in rooting my phone. Should I download the latest Odin 1.85 or no need to download it anymore. I also have the secure kernel (original- which I used before to remove the triangle after flashing an insecure kernel) from the time I rooted my phone, so does that mean that I also don’t have to download the stock kernel? (because also the link for the stock kernel doesn’t work. If I download the official firmware (from samfirmware.com) and just flash it in the PDA, after that I should flash the stock kernel in the PDA section in the Odin program again? I’m sorry I’m just a noob hehe.

Hi, love your site, very helpful. I’m hoping you can help me further. I’ve been able to use my SGS2 with the local sim cards in the Philippines, UK, and Brazil. I’m now in Korea and when i bought a prepaid SIM from KT Olleh, my phone doesn’t have a network signal. Am I locked or something? Or should I change CSC? I have a multi-csc but it only includes nepal, sri lanka, indonesia, no korea.
My phone’s details are below: android version: 2.3.6 baseband: I9100DDKL1 Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100DXKL3-CL814816ROOT@dell137 #2 Build: gingerbread.xwkl1 Thanks very much! I have just rooted my Galaxy S2 and I would like to find the stock kernel for it before I try to upgrade and to get rid of the yellow triangle at boot. I just can’t seem to find it anywhere but on xda via mulitupload.com which is down. Where else would I be able to get it from?
My carrier in Australia is Telstra. My phone specifications are: Model Number: GT-I9100T Android Version: 2.3.3 Baseband I9100TDVKF2 Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100ZSKF4-CL280225 root@avad-server #22 Build GINGERBREAD.DVKF4 Thanks in advance!
I have an unlocked S2 that I was attempting to upgrade the firmware to ICS via Kies on a PC. Everything looked good bu at around 85% progress in the installation or downloading process of the update, it froze. Stuck on the ‘Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again.’ I can’t get it to change from this screen and I can’t upgrade or reset the phone. I attempted the reset with the hold, vol. Down & power buttons pressed but it brought me to the rooting option screen. I could choose to root or reset but resetting brought be back to the frozen screen I mentioned.
I’ve restarted the phone (removing battery) and kies but nothing works. Am I only left with trying to root the device or can I somehow manage to get back on the upgrade track (Which I prefer)?
Hi jayce, i’ve been trying to do the firmware upgrade thing on my S2-GTI9100G (baseband version:I9100GDZKJ2) to the new KL3 version (using kies) but when it is at 100% (at the firmware upgrade progress), an error pops up: “PC failed to recognise the mobile phone: Please follow the guide shown below & try again: 1. Disconnect the mobile phone from the cable, 2. Press the power button 3.
Make sure the mobile phone has been turned on completely 4. Reconnect the mobile phone to the cable & start the upgrade.” so, what should i do?? I have read on some forums that the usb driver has to be manually installed?? But when i connect my phone to the pc, everything seems to work fine (btw my pc is running on windows 7-64 bit.i wonder if windows 7 is good with kies)?any help?? Hello Jayce, I also have a question regarding my S2. Actually my original kernel versiion before was DXKI2.
But After i upgraded it to ICS Kernel Ver. DXLP7, it looks fine but i trace that my Use packet data is not working. I don’t know if its because i choose the wrong Kernel Ver.
Because iam leave here in the Philippines. So decided to search along the net to restore my previous version of DXKI2. So unfortunately i could’nt download these file on these following link: DXKI2 Firmware info PDA:DXKI2 PHONE: DXKI1 Date: Android 2.3.3 OLC MultiCSC (MM1, GLB, SMA, XTE, XME, SIN, STH,THL, XSP, XXV, XEV, XSE, XTC): DXKI2 Stock Kernel: Password: intratech@XDA Do you have any alternate link on this? Its really hard for me to look on it.

Or do you have an answer why my Pocket Data is not working so that i will not restore again to old original packed version of DXKI2. Hope to hear you soon! Hi Jayce, Can you tell what will happen if I flash with different kernel in order to remove the yellow triangle? My phone currently is with the latest official ICS 4.0.4 Baseband I9100XXLQ6, Kernel Version 3.0.15-I9100XXLQ5, Build number IMM76D.XWLPM – there is no stock kernel for xxlq6 or xwlpm on xda page.
If I flash with kernel XWLPD which is the latest and with correct CF-Root kernel, am I going to brake my phone or I will succeed with removing the yellow triangle? What do you think? Thanks BTW: I rooted with CF-Root-SGS2XXOXALQ5-v5.6-CWM5 and it was success. Just went to the Samsung Service Center (vodafone); first installed latest firmware via Odin, no succes for solving the problem. Second tried factory reboot, no succes for solving the problem.
Checked water-damage: there was a signal just behind the opening for the adapter. So no guarantee anymore for me on my samsung. The problem came just after I upgrade the firmware.
I would suggest setting it back to the original firmware might help. What do you think about that? How can I find the original firmware?
Found the original firmware on SamMobile: Netherlands 2011 November 2.3.6 I9100XWKK2 I9100XENKJ1 Download installed it with Odin after starting up my sgs2, just an android icon showed up with some error messages saying my Samsung could not be installed correctly So I tried to root my sgs2 with CF-Root downloaded CF-Root-SGS2XWXENLP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip and installed it with Odin result: my sgs2 is stonedead, starting up gives a yellow triangle and then it doesn’t startup pressing: Volume Up / Down combined with power and home combined doesn’t work either. HELP ME PLEASE getting out if this trouble.
I really need some help with my phone and i don’t know much about this kind of thing. The problem is, i can’t find the market/playstore in my phone and i can’t delete the applications that were previously installed e.g.fruitninja (i don’t originally owned the phone). I tried to restore factory settings but can’t cause there’s a password set by the previous owner so i tried the hard restore method but failed. What should i do?
These are the specs: SAMSUNG Model Number: GT-I9100 Version: 4.1 Baseband Version: I9100XXKE4 Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100ZSKXF4-CL280225 root@av (i can’t view the rest) Build Number: GINGERBREAD.ZSKF4 It was made in vietnam it says at the back and i live here in the philippines. Please.i would really appreciate your help.thank you.
