If you want to have all the Chinese fonts and important aspects of the latest version of Android OS in Samsung Galaxy S2 GT I9100 then you have to update the phone with Chinese firmware ZNKG5 2.3.4 OS. Let me guide you through the entire procedure.

Things to do before updating

• Having your phone backed up is very important before going for the update procedures. First copy all your important files to the SD memory card and remove it from the phone along with the SIM card. For backing up the messages and contacts, you must use Google synchronization. The settings of your phone can only be noted down and re-set after completing the process.
• Make sure the battery is fully charged as you surely don’t want it to turn of while you are working with the update. That can ruin the phone.
• Keep the USB cable of your Samsung Galaxy S2 GT I9100 with you as that’s needed for connecting the phone with your PC.
• The zip file for Chinese firmware ZNKG5 2.3.4 can be found online. Search for it and then download in your PC.
• Make sure that the phone you are using is only the Galaxy S2 GT I9100 because the entire procedure is instructed for this model only.
• Your PC should have the latest Windows and the USB drivers should be updated with the newest version.

Process to update the OS

• Keep the downloaded zip file on your desktop. Right click on the file and click Extract Here option. Make sure that the files are extracted in your desktop as that will make it easier to find the files.
• It should extract 3 files in your desktop. All three files are needed to update your Samsung Galaxy S2 GT I9100 with Chinese firmware ZNKG5 2.3.4 OS.
• Go online again and find the PIT zip file for this update. Extract it to get the file named u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit and then keep it with other 3 files.
• Turn your phone off now. Hold the Volume Down button and the Home key together and turn the phone on. This will turn Samsung Galaxy S2 GT I9100 on in download mode.
• Locate the file named Odin from the extracted files. Double click to run it and a new window will open up. Connect the phone with your PC using the proper USB cable and Odin will indicate the phone is connected. Odin is the tool that installs the Chinese firmware ZNKG5 2.3.4 in your phone.
• You will find two sections in the Odin which will ask you to load the needed files. Brows the files named u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit and I9100ZNKG5_I9100ZNKG5_I9100OZHKG5.tar from extracted files and load.
• Click Start button and Odin will start updating your Samsung Galaxy S2 GT I9100 to the Chinese firmware ZNKG5 2.3.4.

The phone will restart once the process is completed. Dial *2767*3855# in your phone to clear the old OS from cache. The Samsung Galaxy S2 GT I9100 is updated to 2.3.4 OS Chinese firmware ZNKG5 and ready to use for the Chinese users.
