i have this Korean Galaxy S2
few questions to ask the experts ...
1: am i on the latest Stock Korean Firmware ? 2: can i flash any official/stock Firmware of GT-i9100 using Odin ? like using the .pit file then the PDA then the phone and modem ... all together 4 files ? 3: after that ... can i ROOT my phone normally ? i mean like standard procedure ? i mean using Odin or other methods like superoneclick or CWM etc ?
if i flash stock firmware of GT-i9100 via Odin ... and root it ... do i still face that boot loop problem ? and then have to install the original stock korean KERNEL ??
since there is no chance that i would be using my phone in korea .. so is it fine to have a stock firmware of i9100 ??
and after root .. can i install KERNELs of my own choice .. for e.g semaphone , speedmod , galaxian etc etc ???

The latest official firmware for your device is shown as KE2 . You have the latest official firmware ..
You can take the alternative route and install stock Samsung firmware flashing with Odin .

EXPERT ADVICE NEEDED !!!!
I would like to upgrade my S2(International) from the UAE CSC to the official Indian ICS version. Please help !!!
I have already downloaded the official XXLPQ/ODDLP7/DDLP8.tar.md5 ICS for India. Do I do this directly with Odin3 even though I have a different CSC ???
Also the most important thing to ask is :--
"Should I flash the Stock Kernel XXLPQ (I have this too) thru Odin3 BEFORE I UPGRADE to the official XXLPQ/ODDLP7/DDLP8 ???"
Somebody please guide me thru this with the necessary steps or Links !!!!!
THANX IN ADVANCE !!!

you can upgrade by flashing that downloaded package via odin.
your csc will change to india when you flash the rom.
no need to flash lpq kernel before upgrading

custom roms are not flashed with odin but with a custom recovery,again read the threads in the links

Hi,
I am new to Samsung galaxy phones . I have used nexus series ,moto series but currently stuck with a galaxy s3 ( my sisters old phone ) .
Now it is a hong kong model .
AP : I9300ZSALED
CP : I9300XXLEF
CSC: I9300OZSALED
OS version : 4.0.4 (rooted)
Recovery : TWRP
Problem 1 :
Now if I flash any custom rom (Eg: cyanpop ) the rom boots up fine except it shows " insert sim card , sim card not found " even though there is a sim card present .
Problem 2 :
I downloaded the 4.3 version of the hong kong firmware
Product code : TGY
PDA : I9300ZSUBNB1
CSC : I9300OZSBNB1
from sammobile , file size around 1gb . Now , if I use odin to flash that firmware it gets stuck in " Nand write Start " .
Since i made a backup of the current rom via twrp , I flash the twrp via odin and then restore this current rom . Thus I am stuck in this current rom unable to upgrade .
Problem 3 :
I can try to upgrade via ota but I dont have a copy of the stock recovery . I have stired various links which are present here in xda but most of them are very old links and are broken . It will be really helpful if anyone can provide me a stock recovery copy .
Thanks again in advance .
Any help is appreciated.
