I think that the official KG2, around the world, will be 2.3.3 . Yesterday, on a Romanian forum, user vali692001 posted this pictures:
That is not the 2.3.4 KG2, but the 2.3.3 one.
All RO carriers got it these days, including Vodafone.
Do you have the Voda version? I am interested to have it also.
I have it on the phone, yes.
Vodafone RO put it on Kies officially today.
Could you upload the firm. somewhere?

It would most certainly look so because I just checked it with fus downloader (web tool) and for ORANGE version of I9100 it yields the following (country Poland)

Latest firmware :
I9100BVKG2/I9100IDEKG2/I9100BVKG2/I9100BVKG2
will give an update when I will revert to stock to update it via Kies and get my backup bootloader
cheers
I can confirm RO Vodafone branded devices can update too. My phone is not charged though to allow the update

Pretty good update rate for Vodafone and Orange Romania. Didn't see that coming. Wonder if Vodafone UK released this update...

Well, then it's nice to know as soon as Vodafone UK releases an update Vodafone RO will get it the same day
Kies gives me "Kies can't update this phone" - any idea why ?
Previously I've got XWKF3 and then XXKG3 then moved back to original BUKE1 ,
but Kies gives me the above error ... any idea what's wrong ?
[LE] ok I've reflashed one more time with BUKE1 and managed to update it with Kies to BUKG2
Poland Orange and Vodafone Romania KG2 firmware now available in the carrier firmware thread.
It is posibile to post only the voda modem file?
So, in the end this is still 2.3.3 ?
No 2.3.4 for us?

dude i updated to R2BA023 on the 10th July, and am on O2 UK. Unfortunately, it was OTA Update so i cant provide the files.
I did not debrand or root the phone.
Hi , some of the o2 phones where unbranded , got mine from o2 online and it was unbranded with no o2 software .Think thats why some o2 customers are getting updated.
I've used this methode alot on my X10 and i just tried it on the Arc and it still works great! To do this you'll need root and root explorer(or an other methode to change your build.prop) and a locked bootloader otherwise seus & pc companion wont work
I'm not responsible if you break your phone!
How to:
- Look up the customization number of the firmware you want to change to in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082368
- Open root explorer and go to \system and open the build.prop file in the text editor
- Change the following three lines:
ro.product.name=LT15i_XXXX-XXXX
ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/LT15i_XXXX-XXXX/
ro.semc.version.cust=XXXX-XXXX
Change the XXXX-XXXX into the customization number of your desired firmware
- Press the menu button and save & exit
- Reboot
- If you are using pc companion on you computer go to:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sony Ericsson\Update Engine\db\13740270\
And delete the blob_fs folder
If you re using SEUS on you computer go to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\13740270\
And delete the blob_fs folder
- Shut down your phone
- Use SEUS for update or use the repair function in pc companion
- Reboot and enjoy your new firmware
Worked for me Changed SI from UK generic to UK O2 and after reboot, PC Companion picked up the 2.3.3 update straight away
The irony of course is that it's actually an O2 phone anyway which I'd debranded after I'd bought it by flashing UK generic firmware! Thankfully the O2 firmware actually seems to have less crap than the generic one...
An easy way to debrand it for me was to reinstall the software using SEUS. It wiped out all the Orange stuff that was on mine.

That's weird when reflashing without changing SI numbers it should reinstall the original branded firmware

noobish question..if i changed my SI into that of the UK O2 or the Uk generic, will it be locked to the O2/UK, can i still use the same sim card im using in my country? Any difference in the global firmware, i really want the global firmware but cant wait for the update..and if i changed it into the O2, can i update it using SEUS to get the .145 rom?

thank you so much for the quick reply..any changes to other roms, i mean is the O2 rom any different from the global rom or is there any annoying bloatware? Also can you hook me up with the SI number for the UK O2 or better yet, the generic UK SI number?

Would changing my number to somewhere where the 2.3.3 update is available already allow me to get it?
Also, does doing this erase your phone?
EDIT: Never mind the first question, didn't read through the posts in this topic.

Hi can anyone help a confused noob!
My Xperia Arc started life as the UK t-mobile branded one.
I used the helpful guides here to debrand it to the global .181 one.
However I keep trying to check from time to time for updated software to 2.3.3 and it says I have the latest one.
I can see a UK generic firmware released.
Now if I re-flash to that one - can I then update to 2.3.3?
I thought the purpose was that if I debranded to global .181 one - being global it would get the update more or less faster then other firmwares?
Sorry for the noobish questions - any help would really be appreciated!
Thanks

Hi thanks for that but you say I need "root and root explorer" - sorry where do I get these from? I presume my bootlocker is locked by default as I have not touched that part of the phone but do I need to root my phone as well? I haven't done that yet.
Hi, I'm currently running Froyo on my O2 Galaxy S (currently unlocked and unbranded to use on Orange) and I'd just like to know if O2 have released the Gingerbread update yet? I've googled it and apparently so, but everytime I try and update I get "The version of the device cannot be updated.".
Thanks.

Yes it has been released through kies, make sure you have the latest kies on your pc, or go to samfirmware and download it from there scroll down to provider firmwares and its I9000XWJVH and flash it with odin. I can confirm the one on samfirmware is the same one you get through kies
I assume it is O2 UK - and not O2 Ireland.
See the following thread for details of how to restore Kies functionality if you need to do that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179508
You will need to substitute the O2 (UK) product code and PDA/CSC/MODEM/PDA strings to download your latest firmware - but the methodology should restore your Kies functionality. Try the following - I think this is the correct string for you.
CheckFusDownloader_v0.5.exe -c I9000XWJVH/I9000O2UJV3/I9000BWJV2/I9000XWJVH GT-I9000HKDO2U

branded - three austria
No update for my unbranded Omnia 7, in Italy. But I've enabled Internet Sharing with the Regedit...
i hvnot
Unbranded, Three UK
I think Microsoft will roll out this for unbranded phone Much More later!!! Mayb until Tango1...
But anyways, Ive enabled dis thru Registry
The hilarious thing is, at first, make me think, Branded phone is not gud, the update will b later than the unbranded ones, but since Microsoft decided to roll out every update with carriers, (****), luk at dis Thethering Update, we unbranded phones r later!
So mayb, it's gud to use a branded phone mayb....(((
maybe somebody can catch the update and post it here???
so we can flash manually...

Yes it would be great
I find it crazy that unbranded phones don't receive this update ...
I have manually updated my operator unlocked Omnia 7 to the new firmware and am very puzzled.
I am on O2 in the UK and thought that upgrading to this new firmware would enable wifi tethering but after the update, this was not enabled.
I updated to the SFR-FR update available from mobiletechworld.com and everything was ok apart from being unable to hear any calls so downgraded back to the KH5 firmware.
My Specs are now
firmware version 2424.11.8.5
Radio 2424.11.9.1
Bootloader 5.9.1.4
Does anyone know if I am going to have to follow the guide on here to enable wifi sharing or whether wifi sharing will definitely be available to unbranded Omnia 7's via a firmware update anytime ?
Set this registry value. Then try to update your Phone. Then restore the original value.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo
MobileOperator : VOD-IT
MOName: Vodafone
OEMDeviceName: ATLANTIC_VDF_IT
Yes, please extract oem.cab from windows temp files after this tether upgrade and post it please
Sent from my OMNIA7 using Board Express
Yes! Pls extract oem.cab from zune temp files and share it
Sent from my OMNIA7 using Board Express
My vote for manual update oem.cab
Got my update last night on T-Mobile UK (branded) and tethering is enabled
Firmware revision number: 2424.11.9.4
Radio software version: 2424.11.9.1
Bootloader version: 5.9.3.0
Is there a way to force the update on a unbranded Omnia 7??
no, there is no way to force the update, because tethering is for carriers only ... i also have a open samsung omnia with a 3 Austria sim - card. we have to wait i also search for a 3 austria CSC / firmware. but nothing ... i only found 3UK or 3 ireland firmwares.
Lol, I forced KI3 fw yesterday (with cab sender), only to find out that the new T-Mobile UK update updates the fw to 2424.11.9.4 (I have 2424.11.9.3) and bl to 5.9.3.0 (I have 5.9.1.4) :'-( I WANT the new OEM.cab The tragic irony is I own a T-Mobile branded device, but have unbranded it, holy sh!t when are branded devices are supposed to get all the goodies first?
Hi ,
Not a joke,other french unbranded will confirm soon.

Sweet, let the ROM developers do their thing now.
Not giving any stock Sammy firmware a try anymore.
The difference between stock and a custom ROM is/was too big on Lollipop.
