well these are my questions, i'm looking for some answers i'm sure you can help me or erase these doubts i have.
Phone info:
Unbranded phone bought in USA and used in Argentina (sorry for my english, not really good)
Gingerbread 2.3.4
PDA: i9100UHKI2
PHONE: i9100UHKI1
CSC: i9100TPAKI2
i got my phone 1 day ago the first thing i did was a cf root kernel and my phone was root then i got speedmod kernel and everything ok (So only kernels customizations) but here is my doubt
1) Can i flash any kernel i want? I think i can, but.... haha
2) can i flash now any custom rom i want, for example villain, litening, etc
IF i can, will i have problems with mi 3g network. All the explanation with the csc is not clear on my head (or maybe i can put manually my apn settings, or flash a csc unbrandeed thas my stock rom has)
3) can i flash between any stock rom or this is not recommended
4)if i can flash any custom rom like villain, that custom rom is 2.3.5 and my phone is 2.3.4 is that a problem or not. maybe i need to flash an stock rom 2.3.5.
I have made efs backup, cwm backup, and my stock firmware is on stock firmwares thread so great
that's all thanks in advance guys
this forum helped me a lot.
PS: i have read al the noob guides and faq, and searched on the forum but truly i didn't find my answers and my english is not good enough haha so it's get complicated sometimes to understand clearly the idea.
im not expert but i can answer few of your question..
1. yes u can ( btw u didnt have to root ur phone at all.. since speedmod comes with preroot)
2. yes u can flash any rom u want but some roms isnt compatible with some kernels so u should read carefully which one is compatible
3. im not entirely sure but i think u cant... because different stock roms have different csc which is ur region data... i live in finland so i can only flash nordic roms.. but as i say before not entirely sure
4. about this i have no idea =/

Yup, you can do all of these. I installed cf-root on my own SGS2 aswell and went straight for custom ROM's (im still staying on the cf-root (stock with root) kernel. Didnt need a new one, but it doesnt matters you can do anything anyways).
As long as the rom/kernel you download is for the sgs2 (the clear one, not at&t or any other), everything will be perfectly fine.
As for the 3g problems, just try the rom out (or read feedback/ROM desctiption)

Oh and about question 4. Yes you can, its just like updating from 2.3.* to any other. I was on stock 2.3.3 and jumped straight to the Revolution ROM which is based on 2.3.5

I never had problems with csc. Never even touched it. Just flash the ROM's and thats it
And about connection, you should simply get the Modem that is suitable for you after flashing the ROM, but thats not a problem

Guys,
Recently ditched my Desire HD which I've had alot of fun with for (what I considered to be) a far superior phone but basically got a little fed up with the display after catching a glimps of the SGS2's screen, haven't had the HD on since!
Although I considered myself adapt at flashing and rooting, I have to admit to finding myself a little confused here as to what exactly I can do with my phone. Yep, I've searched, nope, I don't want flamed, just need a few things cleared up then I'm off to have some fun!
Details from my phone...
PDA: I9100XWKF3
PHONE: I9100XXKH3
CSC: I9100CPWKD1
I'm rooted using CF matched Kernel and have remained on that, does no harm as far as i'm aware except for yellow triangle at boot..
I'd like to go from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 too and wondering about what to flash and what would fit, my CSC is Carphone Warehouse would that be correct? How important is it to match CSC?
Regards Baseband, doesn't really matter does it but no harm in trying modems is there?
And firmware, thought about Frankenstein XXKF3 or 4 or am I getting things totally wrong? Think it's the WK to XX and not sure what impact that'll have.
And on that note, does the firmware version stiplulate which ROM I can load? So if i go to 2.3.4 (XXKH3 or 4) am I then limited to flashing only XXKH3 or 4 ROM's? Does it matter what I flash over my phone? I've also read that some ROM's contain Kernels and may have to flash a stock kernel after flashing the ROM to match firmware or even re-root?
Actually the more I read back on that, appears I know nothing at all and that's not even funny! Even went back to the original SGS forums in the hope that I'd find what I need there.
I know that unless I move back to stock (which I am at the moment), Kies wont off the eventual 2.3.4 update but to be honest I'm not fussed as developers and cooks here do a much better job and that's experience from my HD days.
I have flashed MIUI as that's the ROM I used longest on the HD, loved it but quickly went back the more I satrted to read and to be honest, would prefer to stay stock for a while and get used to the phone, is that do-able with a flash from the developers forum?
So does the ROM have to match the firmware I'm currently using, can I upgrade to 2.3.4 firmware, choose a kernel of my choice and any rom?
Obviously not picking something up, hopefully someone has the answer I need without the links to pages read allready, want to start having some fun and soon!
Cheers!

firmware is read by the last three letters KF3 is what you currently have.
there is no problem upgrading to KH4.
And on that note, does the firmware version stiplulate which ROM I can load? So if i go to 2.3.4 (XXKH3 or 4) am I then limited to flashing only XXKH3 or 4 ROM's?

no your not limited to flashing any rom, you can mix and match arounding to your needs and preferences.
after rooting they reflash the kernal to get rid of the yellow triangle, there is a tuturial for that chainfire's rooting thread, 2nd post.
So does the ROM have to match the firmware I'm currently using, can I upgrade to 2.3.4 firmware, choose a kernel of my choice and any rom?
Click to expand...

no the rom does not match the firmware, yes you can upgrade to 2.3.4.
yes you choose the kernal and rom that you prefer.
All roms contain a kernel .
CSC is not really required as long as you enter the settings for your network manually but stick to cwm or xeu for UK ..
CSC are not upgraded and are often much older than the rom version .
KH3 probably the best current modem .
Rom is the whole firmware kernel modem OS etc .
You can have a KF2 firmware and swap kernel to KH2 and modem to KG2 in theory and it will work most of the time for varying combinations .
USB jif is better than flashing kernel to remove warning triangle as it also resets rom counter to zero
Me >>Cognition 1.51 rom based on KH3 and i have KG2 modem and no CSC .
Kernels have swapped just the kernel about four times on this and swapped and tried every rom on here .
Rom backed up using Nandroid via CWM recovery and apps backed up using Titanium pro .
Even a failed boot is usually recoverable with ease on SGS2 .

Hi guys,
I got my orange samsung galaxy s2 less than a week. Yesterday after rooting, flashing villianrom, i like an idiot, installed Clearglass 1.6 Theme zip via CWM. After rebooting, the phone has now gone into a boot loop. But since i had a nandroid backup (NOT A ZIP FILE!), i thought i'll simply restore...but i can't! The sdcard won't mount. So then i found THIS THREAD.
After following the instructions, i still can't mount the SD Card, yet it's fine in windows 7.
I also thought i'd try to use the ODIN method to reflash my stock fw, but i can't find the correct kernel version . FYI, i'm from uk and the details of my phone are below:-
MODEL: GT-I9100P
ANDROID VERSION: 2.3.4
BASEBAND VERSION: I9100PBVKI2
KERNEL: [email protected] #2
BUILD NO: GINGERBREAD.BVKI3
PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME! I can't be without my phone
Not sure what you are asking .
Firmware is not kernel whatever your correct firmware is that includes the kernel .
You have a 1900P whatever the P is .
Find the firmware not the kernel here .
Stock Roms .and csc

Alternative
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Still problems use usb jig to set rom counter to zero .
Return to service centre .

Thanks for your fast reply JJEgan. Could you please tell me which stock fw/rom i need to download as the only one that looks close to mine (KI3) is a poland one and i'm in UK.

No idea what your firmware is as you have fl;ashed it .
Based on OP KI3
Then use KI4 CPW UK firmware is what i would do to get back to a working phone ,

Many thanks for showing me the correct version. I wasn't too sure as i didn't want to mess up the phone permanently. So i simply follow the ODIN boot loop guide?
The way it looks to me is that CWM/Phone is corrupted as i've tried everything - mount/format/unmount/re-mount sd, but it won't detect.
OH BTW! Can you please clarify something for me. I thought that since my orange stock rom said "KI3", i must always get a "KI3"....have i got that wrong? if so how can a KI4 work on a KI3 and why is it not necessary to stick with KI3?
Hey there wowandroid, the KI* is, in my humble opinion just a revision number, higher could mean better reliability in terms of signal and perhaps even battery drain
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
thanks AJ. It's just that my i9100 is P model (i9100P) and has NFC capabilities. I've managed to flash the phone back with the ki4 rom, so big thank you to JJEgan. I just thought that because i have a p model, i might end up removing features once i flash with a ki4.
Anyway, now that i've got it working, can i go ahead and use odin to flash villianrom/checkrom back again?

cheers mate. I assume from your nick on forum that you've got checkrom? If so, could you tell me how you get a great looking theme installed after checkrom has been flashed? The last time i tried it, i messed up and none of the kitchen apps themes ever changed the looks (just boring samsung looks)

checkrom is compactable with every Theme out there if its built for the latest XWKK5 version which checkrom is on!
So first
1)Install ROM
2)Use there Kitchen Download only any one of the themes, and hit apply and then install (Obviously)
OR
You can Download manually from the Forums any theme or any thing for stock XWKK5
3)After a theme install u will reboot.
4)Then use there Kitchen to flash any mods etc u want
Personally i use this via Kitchen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310527

hi guys,
i'm about to get started with the update. couple of questions though:-
1. What kernel do you recommend? I need a kernel which gives it the longest battery life if possible.
2. What theme do you recommend? I need a theme which is good eyecandy, but isn't too bloated. Something like this for the villianrom:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1229723
3. Is there a rom posted that has already been customised and tweaked with popular kernels/themes? Saves me messing around.

Hi
I read some posts here but I am still lost. I came from Sony Ericson Experia x10 mini, so I am not a total newbi, or so I thought.
Info after *#1234#
PDA: I9100XXLPQ
PHONE: I9100XXLPQ
CSC: I9100XXLPQ
The phone is rooted with CWM and with ICS 4.0.3 installed
OK my question: I want to install a new rom from here but now I don’t understand with the MINI if your baseband is correct you can install any kernel and rom you like
But now I hear talk about modems and all kinda things .. please help me get from stock ICS to a custom rom
Modems are for the functions of your GSM/Data services of the Phone, generaly it is not so important to have a perticular modem but recommended to use what is relesed for your region,
this can be flashed seperetely at any time from your CWM, until you find a best...
Most of the custom roms Devs pick the best modem for their roms which is universaly working, you dont wat to change it. and some custom roms dont have Modem, your existing modem will remain when you flash such roms...
Modem and Baseband are samething...

Hi All,
I bought a used galaxy S2 I9100 yesterday,new to android.I have been a iphone user for 4 years and pretty aware of jailbreaking, unlocking installing custom firmwares. the terminology here in Android world is different though.
Have searched and read through different guides on the forum but still got some questions.
Model GT i900 LKAH3G
PDA i9100XWKE1
CSC I9100H3GKD4
Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 [email protected] # 2
Build Number GINGERBREAD.XWKE1
Looks like it was on Three network but it is unlocked mobile as i can use my airtel sim on the phone.
I dont want the Three network related stuff on the phone so i need to debrand the phone -- how to do it? there is guide on XDA forum but it talks primarily for O2 phones or might be i did not read it correctly. (there are also some options like the network mode which are disabled on this ROM )
Once debranding is done should i be ok to use any ROM or kernel?
Which would be best ROM to be installed and will it work for me in India.
Can i install the custom ROM and would i be able to install apps from the android Market.
If these have already been answered , can you please provide the link for that thread.
Thank You
I'd advice you to try the new ics roms, you can find the instructions inside the various rom threads, flashing these roms will get rid of the three junk as well as update your phone to the latest android os a.k.a ICS ..........
there is no such thing as a best rom for a specific country, but you can try different modems to find the one that gives you the best network and battery, you can find your modem under the baseband in about phone....
google for more info
happy flashing and welcome to Android we luf you here...........
Learn how to use Odin
Download stock gb from from checkfus or sammobile.
Flash using Odin, you will be unbranded.
After that root using cfroot, now learn how to use cfroot.
Now you can flash custom roms.

Thank you for the details.
can i install the below listed indian stock firmware using odin

do i need to change the csc if i install the UK version?
Thanks
forget about csc.
if you have i9100 you can flash any region ROM and use in any country.
if you want Gb than go for la2 italy rom , iv used that and last time i check that was the fastest stock rom for GB
you can also flash ICS rom like uk lp7 too, just stay away from lp9 roms at the moment.
ad dont forget to wipe using the dialpad code *2767*3855#. [will wipe all data stored]

I have tried to do a factory rest from the phone's privacy menu but even after everything is done,istill see some files in the gallery.
i tried the code *2767*3855# everything goes fine but i see the message "cant access to system\csc\h3g\system\" and then the phone strats as normal.
can i flash it to the OS even if i am getting this message using odin or do i need to
do something before i flash?
factory reset will not delete your user stored data on the SD card...that can be manually deleted...if you want
you can flash the OS from ODIN
thanks for the responses.
I have upgraded to I9100XWLP7_I9100XEULP, and its working fine. the only problem seems to be its heating a bit where the camera is located . will read more topics and see why this is happening.

Yes though the newer dxlp9 was much better, previous one had bunch of issues including sleep of death.
Also that ROM introduces the contact/dialer lag bug. Which some how got to Google account and now every time I sync contacts it get back.
I deleted all my contacts and synced again and it's all better, tried on dxlp9 and was working fine, than I switched to my regular cm9.

For a start, if you remember your last ROM that doesn't had heat issues, flash that modem. Doesn't matter if you use GB modem on ics.

Hello guys,
So, I decided to install another ROM on my Samsung S2 i9100G - thats why I went to different forums and found so many ROMs and Kernels and Tutorials, that I'm not sure, which one to use (and where the files are up2date)
Ive got a German Model with 2.3.6 (I9100GXXKL4)
and my kernel is on 2.6.35.7
I'd like to use CyagenMod (dont know the exact name) 4.0.4 on my Phone and I already downloaded Odin - but "damn" im scared as hell to brick something with the wrong version lal (I flashed my nokia 5800XM and it was a hell of work )
and do I need to install any kernel? where is the difference between the ROM and Kernel? can I just install a new ROM?
greetings

edit:
DO I need to ROOT my Phone?
and: Is a SD Card neccesary or can I use the phone one which is integrated (16GB)
Third Question: Can I use any Kernel I want? As far as I know now, I need to Root my Phone flashing a Kernel via Odin (I will use Lucifr)
But its a GB Kernel, right? So I cant use any ICS ROM?

If you don't want to root go to www.sammobile.com and pick a ics firmware. They have flashing tutorials. But honestly I wouldn't do anything until you do some research.

Just do this:
Buy
Jig unbrick(ebay)
Some sdcard like 8/4GB (ebay)
Download fromhere
XXLPQ mayby don't care if u want cm9
Flash it
If something goes wrong(bricked bootloader that means ur whole software is bricked) use jig unbrick
Find method of root ( im searching)
Install CM9

Before you do anything to your phone, DO NOT INSTALL A I9100 International firmware.. You have a I9100G, It is not in anyway compatible to the intenational phone. READ THE STICKIES FIRST PLEASE.

If u mean that XXLPQ is only for international sgs2 uare wrong read that topic here
Now
I have got plan: buy those thinks bla bla bla
Then here download flash rom what ever wich rom
Then use this to instal CWM recovery and get root.Its very important beacuse without this u wont get CM9(Cyanogenmod9).Now go to CM9 thread
And install CM9 (dont do ''proper CWM (ClockWorkMod)" beacuse u was doing this while rooting
