[Q] official ics update for GT-I9100P? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

my phones details are:
model number: GT-I9100P
Android version: 2.3.4
baseband version: I9100PBVKI2
kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100PBVKI3-CL608158 [email protected] #2
build number: GINGERBREAD.BVKI3
it has nfc and is an orange uk phone.
thanks

as tvey said in your another thread, you can flash gt-9100 roms on your phone although i'm not gonna buy you new sgs2 if you brick it but theres fairly good ics roms for sgs2

While this is true, your typical I9100 ROM will probably NOT have NFC support built in. So if you flash it to your I9100P, chances are good you will not have NFC anymore. May or may not make a difference to you.

.... Probably? Only Samsung can officially answer that question.
EDIT: So if Samsung DOES officially release ICS through Kies (which by all indications, chances are quite good), you're still probably going to have to wait until they decide that your region is going to get it. This is one of the many reasons I've spurned using Kies. Kies is also somewhat unreliable for me. It only decided that my phone was connected to the computer about 1 out of 4 times. I much prefer using Odin and flashing the firmware myself.

Flashing an ICS Rom is the best thing that you can do to your phone. I know NFC probably is not going to work at first, but do you realy use it?

Wireless payments, sharing etc etc will be big soon.
Rolling out in the UK this year so for example you can pay for small money purchases in shops by flashing your phone to a receiver. Bit like the oyster card on the London underground.

[Q] Update Or Not?!?!

Hi Guys, my phone has: PDA: KG1 / PHONE: KG1 / CSC: KG2 (XEF)
ANDROID VERSION: 2.3.3
KERNEL VERSION: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKG1-CLlabeltest_I9100XWKG1
my problem is when i run the software update of the phone it say that "NO UPDATE AVAILABLE" I try and with the kies software but tha same.
And know tha 2.3.4 came before a long time ago, and mine is at 2.3.3!!!
What do you suggest me to do?!?!?! to wait if my phone sometime will update?! or to do something else to get the official updates!!!
Thanks.
Well... if what you are talking about are the OTA updates on the phone... then its possible that it wont work because of your carrier, have you tried Kies?... and of course you could always use Odin

Yes i tried kies but it says that i have the latest update (2.3.3)!!!
sorry about the question what is odin?!?!?! ( i am new with android phones)
Well I don't know about what carrier or what country we are talking about. But here in Denmark we had 2.3.4 from KI4 undtil recently where they updated us to 2.3.5 KI8... But it sounds a little extreme for you to be stuck on 2.3.3
Don't update. Go out and play.

What if you don't get an update? I was a stubborn man with the same issue, but I broke when there was no update for my country officially, now if I could do that you also could, rather should update to 2.3.5. I hope you know the Odin method. And of course it's a worth upgrade.
Then install CM7. It's 2.3.7. I think you're big enough to take this decision yourself. If you're not, do a NAND backup, try a ROM and if you don't like it, you revert to your original one.
P.S.: those numbers don't worth much... you won't see a difference.

[Q] at&t best working firmware

im getting my s2 today and im on at&t and wondering should i stay on the stock that comes with it or switch to a different stock

You getting the AT&T branded GS2? Or the International unlocked version? If you're getting the AT&T branded device, you're in the wrong place. If you're getting the AT&T Skyrocket (LTE) model of the GS2, you want to be in the SGH-I727 forum. If you're getting the regular AT&T GS2, you want to be in the SGH-I777 forum.
This forum is for the GT-I9100.
For your own sake, don't even think about using a ROM intended for a phone model that doesn't match yours.

no i got the international because of more development.. was wondering what firmware or modem works best with at&t people on international s2
Instead of opening a new thread, I'll ask here. Is it possible to use American or a similar non Europe 2.3.7. ROM for my SGSII? My operator didn't release any newer version than 2.3.4., so is it possible?
Currently:
XWKI4 ROM
Siyah kernel
XXKI1 baseband

You'll have to try them out to see what works best for you. I'm still on stock KI3 (2.3.5), but I've HEAVILY tweaked it, adding rotation animation, email that bypasses administrator requirements, battery icon with percentage remaining, etc. I considered GingerMod (I used FroyoMod on my Moto Milestone, and liked it; GingerMod is from the same developer), and CM7 (also used on my Milestone), but in the long run decided to stick with stock. But this is a personal preference. All you can do is back your phone up, flash, and experiment for yourself. (FYI, I'm also on AT&T, and have the GT-I9100)

If you have a GT-I9100, you should be able to use any firmware from Intratech's thread. Instructions are in the first post, and official firmwares currently go up to 2.3.6. The only thing 2.3.7 added according to wikipedia is Google Wallet support for the Nexus S 4G. So I wouldn't bother trying to get 2.3.7.
Yes but I'm afraid that some may not be compatible. My usb jig didn't arrive yet. So my baseband version doesn't matter?

I'm fairly certain that it shouldn't matter, no. My baseband is currently XXKI3, personally.
I originally had an XWKE7 firmware, which is for UK. I have flashed to XXKI3, which is for Poland. As long as you have a GT-I9100 (and NOT a GT-I9100G), it shouldn't matter.
Thank you! I would use the thank button but it doesn't exist in this App. :?

Which firmware
Just got an I9100 with 2.3.4, and would like some improvement.
I am on the ATT network in USA.
If I grab just any 2.3.6 firmware, no matter intended for what country, it will give me top HSPA speed here?
What about when I move to France, for example, would I need to flash a different version?
Does baseband version number imply the freq bands supported for each technology?
Sorry about all the questions, just that Kies doesn't like my phone, so I'll need to "go manual"

Sounds good, but I want to go there in 2 steps. The best 2.3.x first.
Its confusing to figure out which is best, when according to the modem thread, none of the listed roms on the rom thread have good power or speed performance.
The 2.3.4 rom I've got now sucks for speed.
If I start experimenting, get hosed and want to roll back, I can't, because I don't see this firmware anywhere:
PDA:I9100XWKH4
Phone/Baseband (modem): I9100XXKH3
CSC: I9100OXXKH2
Maybe I can copy it off my phone before flashing with Odin?
What's the best course of action?
Any help appreciated...

Have you looked in this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
I scanned it and think I saw yours.. if you find it download. Then download latest ics firmware. Install ics via odin.. Test. If its better keep it if not go back to old via Odin.
Pm me if you have any more questions.

Hello,
I just purchased an GT-i1900P orange, UK
Can i flash it with for example "I9100XXLPB" 4.0.3 ??
I know that I will lose NFC and I do not care.
But is it possible? or I will brick my phone?
Any help is appreciated.
Many thanks

Yes, it is possible. I9100 ROMs will indeed work on I9100P phones, but NFC won't work anymore... and it sounds like you already know this.
It's ALSO possible you can also brick your phone if you don't follow instructions.
ALL THAT SAID... If you are concerned about stability and NOT bricking your phone, then I suggest you do NOT flash ANY ICS based ROM, as it's not yet been officially released. That means any ICS based ROM is built off a leak, so stability is NOT guaranteed.
thank you for the explanation. I appreciate it.
by the way, even the radios(modems) are compatible/flashable?

Hi,
I also have the GT-i1900P Orange UK version.
Can you tell me which ROM did you flash? I need to debrand that Orange stuff since I'm on giffgaff. Would love to have some latest generic Samsung firmware but I'm a bit lost when it comes to ROMs. So far I've managed to remove simlock using Samsung Galaxy S unlocker and flash "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KI3-42-v4.2-CWM4.zip".
Thanks

You can flash any I9100 (NOTE: NOT an I9100G) firmware. Just know that you'll lose NFC if you do. But it looks like you already got this information in a different thread.

The first thing anybody should be doing after rooting and before flashing an ICS BETA ROM is making an EFS backup(download release.zip)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546
and then making a Nandroid backup just incase you need to get back to your previous Firmware.Without these 2 things you could loose your phone cos your flashing a BETA ROM.
EDIT:A good kernel for ICS is LP6 as LPB seems to have more bugs in some ROMs.

Hello,
I have done exactly as you did. Just that I also backed up my EFS!! If you screw your EFS that you screw the phone so better safe than sorry.
Then I went on flashing I9100XXLPB with ODIN (there were three files).., the same way you flashed CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KI3-42-v4.2-CWM4.zip
So far so good! on 4.0.3 , performance is great
got 4027 on quadrant benchmark
absolutely no crashes yet..
thanks everyone for the help...
it seems easy now once you do it yourself..

I9100G Android 4.0.3 Rollout

Hey, i want to know when the Rollout of the Android 4.0.3 for the I9100G started in Germany.
I flashed a Costum Rom on my I9100G because the Stock Rom was sticky.
Now i cant use Kies Software to check if the new ICS is availible.
Maybe some people can post wich device they have and when the ICS is availible.
Whats the easiest way to flash a rom that can connect to keys and is update-able via Kies? Do i have to do the complete steps like in the "Warranty Restore" threads?

Conclusion everyone got their own choice
You have to remember that despite this being XDA Developers forum we have a lot of new users that are somewhat lost and think this is a Samsung update forum .
jje
You have 3 options:
- stick with original roms updated through ota or kies. You keep your warranty
- use official rom's from other countries. Risk of problems is as low as sticking to original when reading carefully
- use aftermarket firmwares which have different features.
Now decide on that, then proceed =)
