Download lite'ning 3.0 (3.1 has minor issues) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274 and install via Odin.
This is a custom ROM designed on top of the stock ROM.

You can download the firmware from that link. NO, it's NOT official. Official version is yet to be released. And you can root it with Chainfire's kernel, both KG1 and KG2 is there.

what about this?

can i flash it in my Indian SGS2 without voiding warranty?
You can clearly see that the above ones are of different region, I never like them, anyway if you can't wait flash the second one, but it will definitely void your warranty, but you can always put the Stock firmware back to get warranty/servicing.

Hey guys,
I am stupid. I bought my international version i9100 on ebay. I dont know what it is from. After I root it, I lost the kernel. Now, I want to restore everything including the rom, the kernel to factory. What should I do?
Flash a Stock ROM via Odin to reset the phone.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it matters where the phone is from as long as you use Odin. If it for any reason wouldn't work you could always reflash it.

As stated above, it shouldn't really matter. On the other hand, if you really want the one for your country you could go to settings -> About phone -> scroll to the bottom...
write model number , android version, baseband version, kernel version and build number here to the forum, and I'll try my best to tell you which one you need

gr4ndm4st3r_bl4ck, I am a little confused. My phone is on android 2.3.4 now and I am looking to update it to 2.3.6, but kies keeps telling me there is no update for my phone. If I can flash a rom from any country, can I just grab a 2.3.6 rom for a country, say Brazil, and flash that rom?
In case you need it, these are the information I can get.

Baseband version: I9100UHKI1

Yes if it does not work flash another one .
CSC and or MODEM can be changed as a separate item .
You flash the country you are in no point flashing China firmware if you are in Spain .

That's the latest UH firmware in Intratech's thread ( 2.3.4 only ), if you want the entire ROM use one of the first 3 links, or if you want only the stock kernel then use the last link there.
Also, you could just ignore that UH ROM and flash the latest XW one ( Europe Standard ) from here :
Code:
XWKK5
Android 2.3.6
This package has: PDA: XWKK5| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: XEUKH2

After flashing it just set the language to your liking and you'll never notice any difference.
For instance, my S2 came with 2.3.4 Serbia CSC ROM and I flashed the XWKK5 one from above and it works perfect , no need to worry
Edit : PS, Kies will never tell you that a new update is ready , because Samsung didn't make it available on Kies yet, that's why we use Odin instead
Happy flashin

Glad you got what you wanted
Keep an eye on intratechs thread. The one you were linked to. He posts all the latest stock original carrier firmware so you won't have to wait a month next time.
If you have the I9100 international version you can use nearly any of the latest firmware even if your carrier hasn't released it yet.

Hi all,
I have bought a second hand Samsung Galaxy S 2 in China.
The Android version installed is 2.3.3; I tried to do an update via Kies but I got the infamous message that "firmware update is not supported" for my device. I understand from other posts in the forum that maybe the firmware installed is not matching with the original region of the device, in this case I should install the right firmware in order to get the support from Kies, am I right?
But my question is...how do I know the original firmware/region for my model?
The data of the device are the following:
Model Number: GT-I9100
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9100XXKE4
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE7-CL215725 [email protected] #2 (does this mean the phone has been rooted?)
Build Number: QUENS.GINGERBREAD.XWKE7
Plus, when I connect to Kies the current firmware version detected is:
I9100XWKE7/I9100XEUKD1/I9100XXKE4/I9100XWKE7 (DBT)
Sorry for the noob question, I tried to figure out from the sticky post and used search but I am still confused...(yes, I got intimidated by the welcoming video of the forum)
Thanks

NO its the signature
Build Number: QUENS.GINGERBREAD.XWKE7
That reads as a custom rom by Quens ???
Plus, when I connect to Kies the current firmware version detected is:
I9100XWKE7/I9100XEUKD1/I9100XXKE4/I9100XWKE7 (DBT)
If its a i9100 and no other version pick a stock rom from the stock roms posts .
With later firmware and to match region phone is used in .

Official ICS Update for S2 in Pakistan
Hey guys!
I have a similar problem. I bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 from Saudi Arabia Last August. I've been waiting for the official ICS update for my phone since quite a while now. I am currently in Pakistan and even here my KIES says that I have the latest firmware.
The version is : PDA:KJ2 / PHONE:KI4 / CSC:KJ1 (JED)
I'm dying to use ICS on my phone and any help from the senior members will be much appreciated.
Cheers!
Your best bet will be to follow the links above, and search for custom roms. Is your phone currently rooted?

If kies is not showing any updates for your phone, the best bet is to use ODIN and flash the official ICS firmware of your choice.. Use this guide:

No I haven't rooted it yet.
---------- Post added at 02:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 AM ----------
I quickly went through the guide for now. I'll go through it in detail tomorrow. Just a little help...
I checked my phone firmware details:
Android Version is: 2.3.5
Basband Version is : I9100XXKI4
Kernel Version is: 2.6.35.7-I9100JPKJ2-CL655700 [email protected]#2

Based on the info I got to the conclusion that the applicable firmware for my phone is:
JPKJ2

You can get a stock firmware from www.sammobile.com and flash through Odin. There's a flash guide on the site too.

Have a look at this thread, they are all stok roms you need to download Odin and find the rom that fits with your country http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 try the 3rd post for 4.0.3 roms download the correct one and flash via Odin. After flash do a factory reset to clear out any old 2.3.3 stuff. Remember to backup your apps contacts etc first.
XWLPF appears to be the most recent one for you just confirm you are using a Samsung i9100 and not i9100g.
