Hello fellow Bell Galaxy s2 users,
I read tons of posts that said the stock kernel for our Galaxy s2 is not available to download from Samsung server. However, if you go to https://opensource.samsung.com/ and search I9100M, there is one file available for download.
Now, I don't know whether this is the kernel or something else entirely...... could somebody verify what this file could be?
Cheers,
I believe that file is the source code for our firmware. Unfortunately we cant just flash it to our phones. I'm not an expert on this but I think that it still needs to be compiled.
can't someone compile it then and post it? How hard can it be? or is there bigger problems than that?
Yes. I agree, please compile this! I really would love to have a flashable stock rom for my GT-I9100M.

The url is not working and I can't find this kernel ANYWHERE. I tried rooting with a clearly non-compatible kernel and it won't get past the boot with the caution sign. Can someone fix the link please? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Hi!
I currently have my s2 rooted and on CM9. My phone is/was the european version GT I9100. I know that region is getting the ICS update on 3/10. Can some one direct me to copies of a stock rom that will be receiving the update?
Thanks in advance!
Since you have already flsahed your phone with CM9 why not just flash the official ICS when it comes out?
Seems he want to install ics via kies

If your referring to
"(4) Customized firmware
If unofficial or customized firmware is installed in the mobile, unexpected problem can happen during upgrading"
Thats why I want to go back to stock.
They don't expect you to flash the firmware via CWM or Odin. I don't think it will be necessary to flash a stock rom first

wouldn't it be best to wait before flashing the official one through kies mate. cause you are only going to after a few days when all the custom official ones be released going to root your phone again. i was thinking the same but i am going to hold off for a while
Good luck getting official firmware updates via Kies if you're running non-stock firmware

I can think of 2 possibilities why it might not work.
-wrong CSC: find your country's CSC and change yours to match. Here and Here
your ROM must have your CSC or a Multi-CSC where your CSC is included.
-"Zombie"-ROM: A ROM patched together from different originals, e.g. a good stock kernel from one ROM with a good modem from another ROM. This shouldn't be, because you took an original from intratech's Thread. But if you want, you can also try this.
I hope this helps.

It looks like you already have an ORANGE-ROM. what exactly are you trying to do? If you want to get rid of the orange branding, what you have there looks good.

Don't you feel kinda stupid after beginning a thread with an OLD question and then having to post on that thread that you found your answer within that same forum from a thread that is stickied and out there for everybody to use
Hi, I just bought myself a Samsung Galaxy S2, specifically Gt-I9100M.
I am on the old Gingerbread software, and my phone is currently in a Stock and ROOTED Bell ROM I believe(I got Superuser).
I want to upgrade to ICS, and could you please tell me if following this extremely simple guide will work? galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-unroot/how-to-unrootunbrick-your-galaxy-s2-i9100-ics/
screenshot added.
To unroot, you need to flash the original kernel ugkg2. However, to flash it, you need to do it through Odin. Then, why flash the kernel only when you can flash the full ics firmware instead.
My suggestion, flash the full firmware instead. It's going to be quicker.
If you don't know Odin, read read and read again before doing anything. This forum is your friend.

So you are saying just follow the guide I put in the link and I should be fine? NOthing else to do?
Your link make it seem simple but itcould turn into a nightmare if you don't know what to do. Read the forum on how to use odin and what not to do and you should be fine.
Anyone?

You can use the guide, but dont use the stock rom attached. Use the one for the i9100M found at sammobile.com. Just search for the i9100M rom.

Thanks for the info!! I found many links in the sammobile webpage. Can you tell me which one to pick from that list? I looked up i9100m and there was a 4.0.3 Firmware from my carrier there(bell). Should I just download that rom, follow the guide from the link and just do what it says, I dont have to do anything else?
I know Im annoying, but Im new here

Download the one for your carrier and follow the guide as said. It will install stock ICS (no root). Just in case though, I suggest you backup your data on your phone to your computer or such.
The one for our phone is UGLD3. Download it. Download also UGKG2 just in case something happen with the installation. When I tried to update my phone I had a Kernel Upload Panic Mode error. I had to reinstall UGKG2 to make my phone work again.

Just saw my friend updating his sgs2, IT WAS A NIGHTMARE!! ICS was not stable enough, some apps wont even work, basically VERY minor things changed, in short ICS was a disaster for the SGS2.
Do you or anyone know a way to backup my Gingerbread SGS2 in a way so that I can use that backup in case of an emergency?

As I said, download UGKG2, which is gingerbread. If anything happen, just reinstall it using ODIN. had a bad install with ICS at first and I just reinstalled UGKG2 and all my apps and setting were still there once I reinstalled UGKG2.
Hi,
I bought an unlocked SHW-M440S in Korea, and I wonder if I can upload any Samsung Galaxy III ROM unto it, or is this model somehow specific? I don't need the original providers apps, etc. so I'd prefer a generic Galaxy III ROM myself.
thanks for any pointers.

***NOTE!!! - All roms available require a custom kernel for the m440s. Kernels for the i9300 will not work. Most roms for i9300 will work on the m440s but you must have a customized kernel for the m440s!***

I just installed cm9.1 then installed the siyah kernel (modified one for our phone from korean develoid site) then wiped, cleared cache, dalvik and reboot.

thanks for the link - your thread looks really comprehensive.
I'm very sorry to have a very lame question though: I can't seem to find a download option on any of the custom kernel pages (e.g. on naver.com pages). I don't read Korean, so maybe I'm missing something obvious. where should I look for the download link on these pages?

Rom recommendations are forbidden here (and anyone who makes one in this thread is getting slapped). Go to the development sections, read some threads (first page/last 10 pages will give you the info you need), flash & try some roms out like everyone else here.
