Is it possible on the SGSII to get updated radio drivers and installing them, without flashing a new kernel, or other new stuff other then a new radio or modem driver?

Not entirely sure what you are asking, but i'll go with: Yes, check out this thread. Flash the modem by putting the file in the 'Phone' section of Odin, good luck.

Thanks just the answer I was looking for.... Does it cause compatibility issues? For example KG6 modem flashed on top of KG3 modem with KG3 firmware? Or are there no issues for the most part?

No issues. However a modem that works well for me might not work well for you. The best thing to do is usually flash the latest and if that is no good, flash the latest one before that etc. until you find one that you are happy with.
Can someone be kind enough to help me find a link for XWLA4 modem? I can't seem to find one.
Thx
whaddya know first result

Compatibility:

*Modems do not need to be matched up with firmware like it's done with ROMs and Kernels. For example, a KI4 modem can be used with a KL1 ROM and the other way round. The only thing you need to pay attention to is what model your SGS2 is. 9100 and 9100 modems are compatible across both models. However, 9100 model and US variants are not cross compatible since the devices are designed to work on different bands.
Modem is in the stock rom as well

What JJEgan said. Looks like XWLA4 stock ROM comes with an XXKI4 modem anyways.
thx both for trying to answer
First of all i need xwla4 modem not KERNEL.
Second, I know that it doesn't have to be the same with the rom but i had one with xwla4 and had very good battery life and that's why i want to install again xwla4 modem. I found a thread with modems but not the xwla4 one.

Did you read my post? Read it again. From what I can tell, stock XWLA4 firmware comes with XXKI4 MODEM.
can i flash a ki3 modem into the xwlp2 (ics) software? will there be any conflicts? thanks!
Hi i think you can flash anymodem to any rom.
Im from australia and i have flashed my locacl vodafone modem to the latest lpq rom and it works fine.

Any modem is flash-able if it is made specifically for your Phone's model (I assume GT-i9100)...
I have just successfully flashed XXKI3 into XWLP2 ICS . I'll let you guys know if the signal improves, cause the stock one sucked!

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.

Hi KJplasma &atifsh
Thank you for the details.
can i install the below listed indian stock firmware using odin
PDA :I9100XWKE8 CSC:I9100ODDKE2
or do i need to install the firmware from UK
PDA :I9100XXKF2 CSC:MULTIOXAKF2
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]

My friend dont go for LPJ that is unofficial beta release,

or pick anyone from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487.
Thank you Zac and Atif.
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.
thank You.

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.
I flashed the modem of my region xxki4 which is 2.3.5 jpkj2 and had no issues of heat in ics.

Hi guys,
I read that LFB ROM works only with LFB modem. Anyone figured a way to replace the modem (I want to use LF2) ?
Thanks

just flash the lf2 modem via odin worked fine for me
How did you do that ?
I tried to flash the LF2 modem (from Intratech site), and the result is that I can hear the other side and he can't hear me.
The ROM is LFB Odex without any mod.
I read that LFB ROM works only with LFB modem
Where did you read that are you confusing with custom modification that needs LFB modem .
jje
I read it in the LFB discussion theard. Tried it myself and no go. The other side can't hear me.
I changed modem to ELF2 ( swedish,danish 3) and it works just fine.
Maybe certain modems are incompatible.
