Hello,
I have an vodafone unlocked galaxy s2. It's an android 2.3.3 with kernel version XWKDD-CL161513root Dell103#2 , and build BUKG2.
It's possible to change it to a stock XXKH3 with 2.3.4. ? If yes please give me a noob tutorial because i'm new to all of this.
Thanks in advance.

i have this Korean Galaxy S2
few questions to ask the experts ...
1: am i on the latest Stock Korean Firmware ? 2: can i flash any official/stock Firmware of GT-i9100 using Odin ? like using the .pit file then the PDA then the phone and modem ... all together 4 files ? 3: after that ... can i ROOT my phone normally ? i mean like standard procedure ? i mean using Odin or other methods like superoneclick or CWM etc ?
if i flash stock firmware of GT-i9100 via Odin ... and root it ... do i still face that boot loop problem ? and then have to install the original stock korean KERNEL ??
since there is no chance that i would be using my phone in korea .. so is it fine to have a stock firmware of i9100 ??
and after root .. can i install KERNELs of my own choice .. for e.g semaphone , speedmod , galaxian etc etc ???

[Q] How to upgrade JPKJ2 to INU ICS ????

EXPERT ADVICE NEEDED !!!!
I would like to upgrade my S2(International) from the UAE CSC to the official Indian ICS version. Please help !!!
I have already downloaded the official XXLPQ/ODDLP7/DDLP8.tar.md5 ICS for India. Do I do this directly with Odin3 even though I have a different CSC ???
Also the most important thing to ask is :--
"Should I flash the Stock Kernel XXLPQ (I have this too) thru Odin3 BEFORE I UPGRADE to the official XXLPQ/ODDLP7/DDLP8 ???"
Somebody please guide me thru this with the necessary steps or Links !!!!!
THANX IN ADVANCE !!!
