Reading a lot of posts about the I9100 it looks like people are able to find the kernel version this way:
inspiredgeek.com/2011/12/08/how-to-find-download-correct-stock-kernel-firmware-for-samsung-galaxy-sii-s2
The problem is that with my I9100G, the "Settings -> About phone -> Kernel Version" thing just shows:
2.6.35.7

There is nothing after "2.6.35.7" which can let me know what the matching kernel is (such as 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKG1-CL349526 as in the exemple in the above site).
Should it be the same as PDA version then?

Probably and usually .
AS long as its G firmware not i9100 firmware .DO NOT FLASH i9100 FIRMWARE to a G

The problem is that my stock kernel is not available anywhere on internet (if it's the same as the PDA version). If I flash an other kernel and want to go back to the stock one I can't.

Choice is to flash an different kernel or stay where you are .
If you want to go back to stock then you need a saved stock rom .
Why do you want a kernel ??
jje
I just want to root it. The only option seem to be to use an older or insecure kernel.
The problem is that I can't save the ROM without having it rooted from what I've seen.
Thanks to CheckFus, I was actually able to download my ROM and extract the kernel.
http://fus.nanzen.se/
I have a similar requirement
Hey _AnAkIn_
I have the same issue that you seem to have fixed. Could you help me with it?
I have rooted my device and would like to switch back to the stock kernel (same as the one you have listed a solution for) but have not found one online.
It would be helpful if you could give a a step by step guide on how you extracted the original kernel and flashed it back on your phone (If you can share the file it would be even better). Also did your device remain rooted?
Thanks in advance.
can you tell me what my kernel version is?

hi guys i have a new sg2 I9100 and yes for the help of xda people and reading some forum,i did it.rooting and install
deodexed rom.
now my problem is How to Flash back to stock.(im stil confuse) =(
these are my question...
1.i need a stock firmware right.but i forgot my stock firmware can i use any firmware?
when i press *#1234# this is what i see.
PDA : I9100XWKJ3
PHONE : I9100XXKI1
CSC : I9100OXXKI2
Build info: tue Oct 25 21:10:44 KST 2011
iknow this is not like that before when i havent root and stal rom.
thats why i dont know which stock firmware i should get.
2.on odin do i need to check the re-partition tab before i start.
right now my "About phone" is
Android version= 2.3.5
Baseband version= I9100XXKI1
Kernel version:
2.6.35.7-I9100XWKJ2-CL676699
[email protected]#2
thanks. =)
I got same problem, did you get answered?
If your reason to go back to factory condition is because the phone is being returned for warranty purposes, then you need to know what ROM was on it when you got it. Warranty returns should only accept the ROM it was supplied with or official updates of the same ROM. If it was a Orange UK ROM, then they will only accept a Orange UK ROM. Branded ROMs and Samsung (unbranded) Stock ROMs are in the Original Android Development section on here. Also the Custom Counter would have to be reset.
If the reason is just to get back to a Samsung Stock, then go to the Original Android Development section on here and find the ROM that is for your region.

Please read Intratech's Official Firmware thread here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
At least the two first posts are relevant to you.
To check, what Firmware/ROM is officially released by Samsung for your region, you can use Check Fus Downloader from here => http://fus.nanzen.se/.
P.S.: You do not need the repartition option in Odin.
If you want to be sure to have a "clean" stock ROM on your phone, just go into recovery mode (Volume UP + Home + Power) and choose to make a factory reset after flashing the ROM.
Good luck !

What do you mean by choose to make a factory reset after flashing the rom?
I have the same problem..but whenever I am flashing the official fw downloaded from Intratech's post, I got failed..I am not sure what's the problems. I tried a few roms from there, every thing just failed and my phone now show a triangle icon which cannot be booted. i Have to use the usb jig to erase the downloading information, then flash any kernel to make the phone reboot then it can be only booted into the rom before flashed.
can someone help ??

Try re-download the firmware with your PC antivirus off. I had trouble with Kaspersky corrupting the download (no warning either, false positive).
Then try flash with Odin again.

First - sorry - I know this gets asked all the time, and yes - I have read a large chunk of IntraTech's simply indispensable thread, but... While I am more than happy with the flashing of Roms and Kernels, I can't work out which the best (Firmware/Kernel) one for my phone is
I'm on the i9100, it is an unbranded one from CarPhoneWarehouse (grrrr! ) and they kindly left me with a kernel from the stone age! I have just flashed with I9100XXKL1 from Sam which is touted as an Open Europe 2.3.6, but it turned out to be a branded 2.3.4 - I'd much rather go with one from Intra's site, but it seems like he's still trying to get his stuff back online after the Megaupload disaster.
I will obv. be looking to root the phone, initially just with CF-Root 5.2. Which Kernel is best for me? (Not looking for ICS until the 'official' Samsung one comes out)
CFRoot thread. Use the kernel that corresponds to the "baseband" details in settings/about phone.

i would suggest you root the phone and then flash WANAM"s xwla4 stock and unbranded.
as for the kernel it is a matter of choice and what you need battery or performance.
Siyah kernel is great and RedPill kernel(thi is what i am using)

Thanks for those - I do like the look of Red Pill - I was hoping to go with the stock firmware, but if i can't track it down i may well go with Red Pill
Just realised that my Baseband (KG4) and Kernel (KG7) now don't match. How much impact will this have, and don't most of the packages normally do both?
Can anyone tell me what the latest Official unbranded Samsung Firmware is for the UK SGII?

Thanks for the reassurance on the modem/kernel matching.
I understand that it is quite painful to answer the same questions over and over, but as I mentioned in the 1st post, I have had a good root through Intra's thread (Stock Firmware) - if that's the one you mean - and I'm still a little unsure which one is best for me, I assume that...
I need a firmware with either XX or XW (UK)
I need one of the 2.3.6 ones (near the bottom of the exhaustive list)
The Firmware will flash both the Baseband and Firmware (PDA and Phone)
I can use any one that matches the UK and 2.3.6 bits
Given all of that, I can see the following that would work for me:
XWKK2, XWKK5, XWKL1 (Official?), XWLA4 (This one as it has no carrier branding?)
That's 4 that I can see that all seem 'correct' - Please can someone either give me the missing piece of the puzzle and tell me what I'm missing, or just say "the latest official firmware for your phone is..."
Please!
So, I put the LPH tar in PDA section of Odin and flash as normal like I would with GB builds?
I will do a full wipe and a back up, but would anyone suggest returning to stock GB first or just go with the flow?
Thanks
XWLA4
Android 2.3.6
There is no carrier branding
This package has: PDA: XWLA4| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: XEUKH2
Download: http://uploadmirrors.com/download/3V...I9100XEUKH2.7z
UK CSC so should work fine for you .

Perfect - thanks for that - been a real pain trying to work it out - especially as half the links were down

I'm going to take a wild stab & say you're using an I9100T on Voda AU. If that's the case, DUKJ1 is still the gold standard so far as modems are concerned (works well for almost everyone on Voda AU). Do a Google search with XDA appended to your search terms & you should be able to find a link or two where you can download a CWM flashable version of this modem.

Now I got hold of a DULP4 modem meant for i9100T. but it has a modem.tar file. How do one flash a .tar file containing a .bin file?
And is it possible to use DUKF4 instead? Sorry, still a newbie.
Extract the bin & flash it in the phone section of Odin. You can flash any modem for the I9100 or I9100T. Some will work better than others. If you find a given modem doesn't work, flash another. Keep flashing modems until you find one that does work well for you.

I'm lost, I9100p or I900p?
If it's I900p, what phone is that?
If it's I9100p flash any I9100 ROM / kernel.
If you don't wanna lose NFC, there's a couple of threads with a NFC enabler laying around here somewhere.
i guess it's about a i9100p
don't think a i900p exist....he wouldn't be posting here
and yes - any kernel would do the job (as gastonw says)
