Hi,
I am basically running the following at the moment:
Android Version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: I9100XXKI1
Kernal version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI4-CL575468 [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKI4
Can I ask what kernel / steps I need to take to upgrade to the latest ice cream sandwich for the Galaxy S2?

If you mean "stock" ICS you can find everything here, latest is the DXLP7 (Asian but with English) or XXLPQ (European): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Otherwise you might want to take a look at custom ROMs.
Thank you.
The thing is, I don't think I have a carrier branded phone (no logos, no carrier software etc) yet Kies is saying I have the latest firmware :S
Ignore Kies, it's just telling you the latest firmware available from your carrier.
Just install the DXLP7 rom from above through Odin

But the thing is, my phone is not carrier branded etc.
I have read that if it has XW or XX in the version name, then it's unbranded, therefore, I should get the update.
Samsung releases region by region based on CSC. So that means they haven't released any updates for YOUR region. If you don't want to wait for Samsung to release an update through Kies to YOUR region, then flash a different firmware.
EDIT: I should add it doesn't matter if it is carrier branded or not. They release based on the region you bought the phone from. I had XWKE7, which is 2.3.3 for UK (even though I'm using the phone in the US), for months when I first got my phone. I got tired of waiting for an update, so I flashed XXKI3, which is 2.3.5 for Poland.
It's really not as cut and dried as "all unbranded phones get the update".

Well, they were supposed to. But Monday was yesterday. It may not happen same day, depending on your location. They probably stagger the release so their servers don't get overwhelmed.

They released the Three Ireland version (which is LPQ version of ICS) the unbranded version of ICS has not been officially released yet via Kies. If you want the official release, then you are going to have to wait.
Personally I flashed LP7 ROM. Later on I flashed the LP6 Radio ROM because the LP7 Radio ROM that came in the LP7 full ROM was eating away at the battery life.
My phone was branded T-Mobile UK, when I first got it. The branding lasted about a week - just to make sure that there was no hardware problems with the phone. Even the official unbranded ROM lasted about a month before I started flashing leaked releases. Why wait till Samsung officially release an update when you could have it running better thanks to the folks on here.
Where did you get the LP6 radio from? Thread I got LP7 from has removed the older stuff.
Also I'm assuming radio is the same thing as modem..

I went on the samfirmware.com website but it says the latest firmwares are from Jan 2012 ???? how is that even possible ?
I am looking for the latest firmware for Canada. I know it was released recently, because my friends are updating, but I'm on a custom ROM and I just want to find the latest ICS firmware and flash it.
Please help!
Depends on the model of the phone..... Look in that specific model and region and you will get latest for that.
It's don't have to be Canada, you can flash latest from any region if it's for your phone.

Search for the Bell stock ICS 4.0.3 then flash it by Odin that what i did for mine. Good luck.

A friend of mine has a samsung galaxy s2 with basebandversion I9100XXKE4 and when i looked which version of android it was running i was surprised to see version 2.3.3 was installed. Because i had version 2.3.5 before i used another baseband version update to go to ICS ... Looking arround on the web i could not find a more recent version of Android for her phone. (btw also still no official ICS version for the i9100XXKI3) So I had on my phone a baseband version I9100XXKI3 and i updated using Odin with an ICS package which had I9100XXLPR baseband No problems until now. Now running CM9.
You guys think i can also use this (xxLPR)package to update her I9100XXKE4 ?
We both live in HK. Only difference is she is on PCCW and i am on Smartone

XX ROM series had plenty of official updates after 2.3.3, among them three ICS ROMs. Latest is LPW.
Just follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
and pick up whatever ROM you feel like (you may also follow your product code).

Yes, you can. Only thing is if you flash stock firmware for another region you may have problems getting OTA updates for your region in the future. Which isn't a huge problem as you can also simply flash these via Odin when they're released if you do have difficulties.
I've had a look at Checkfus (PC version) & it tells me most recent update for I9100/Hong Kong was ZSLPG on 06/04/2012. So I guess you could go with LPR like you did, or you could get Checkfus & use this ICS build, which might mean no problems with OTA updates in the future (but no guarantees).
Hello guys
This is my first post in the SGS3 forum. I've been a long time HTC user, but as you can see I've decided to jump ship
The SGS3 I bought is the international version and shipped here with a Turkey firmware PDA: I9300XXBLFB, CSC: I9300OJVBLF3
After spending some time on google I found that the firmware was quite dated and other regions had updated firmwares.
So I decided to ODIN flash the firmware to a BTU, PDA: I9300XXBLG8 CSC: I9300OXABLG8 and registered my device in software update as an unit from UK [Although I'm actually in Bangladesh], hoping that I'll get the latest updates as soon as they're released. Oh, and I haven't rooted the device yet.
My question now is will I actually get the OTA updates this way? [Yes, I do realize i should have asked this before I flashed the BTU firmware. Sorry =\]
Thanks in advance
No will will not get any OTA updates from leaked roms
You will only get OTA uodates from original stock roms

Hi Guys
My GT-I9100 S2 currently runs on the leaked firmware 4.1.2, baseband version is I9100XXLS6, build number is JZO54k.I9100XXLSJ and CSC is LS1(COA).
I'd like to fix the buggy wireless and frozen screen when locked hence I want to know if I can replace it with an official firmware from any other region? So that it can get updates from OTA or Kies?

Figured it out, flashed with the Hong Kong TGY official JB 4.1.2 firmware and managed to change the CSC code to TGY as well. It fixed the above two issues and I can now get updates via OTA and Kies.
