[Q]Update to ICS - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good Morning Everybody, i just yesterday buy one Samsung GS2 and it have I9100XXKI4 Base version i saw many manuals to update it to ICS but my question is what version i need to chose is mater if i chose etc this "I9100XXLPH" and is different than my?

hi mate, ill be brief because its just about my bed time
I9100XXKI4 is gingerbread, I9100XXLPH is ics. So they wont be the same if your upgrading from gb to ics.
Are you wanting a custom rom or stock samsung?

I want Stock because of guaranty, so any manual to just take the stock ICS Rom?
and what CF-Root i need to use? i mean version!

you do know when you flash cf-root via odin your going to increase your custom counter and in effect void your warranty, so youll need to either use a usb jig or use chainfires triangle away app?

yes, everytime you use odin to flash a rom on your phone you increase the custom counter by one, if this is not set to 0 ( zero ) your would lose your warranty if you took it to a samsung store for repair. So when you flash ice cream sandwich on your phone, theres an app called triangle away by chainfire ( play store ) which will reset it back to zero and your warranty will be ok! but only use it on ics not gb.
when you tell me your location ill post you a link to ics for you ( stock ) and the cf-root file and the instructions to use it. You have flashed a phone with odin before?

Firstly, try not to hijack threads like this.
Back to your problem, have you tried adding APNs in whatever ROM you are trying?

Right. Can you confirm that you used menu (left touchkey) > save to save your APN?
If that fails, please tell me your carrier and country.

anything solve with this problem;

My guess is you have an firmware for a different country and need to install the CSC for your country.
Either that or flash stock GB rom as you claim all ICS has the problem .

Update after stock flash

Ok so i've returned my phone to stock firmware, which is 02 branded KF3. Kies reads my phone as PDA:KF3 / PHONE:KE7 / CSC:KJ1 (FOP). It initially said KG2 for CSC but i've changed it thinking this was my problem.
Anyway enough blabbering. My problem is kies wont update, it says this version of the device cannot be updated. Any ideas what i need to do next?
Cheers

I would forget about Kies. They are extremely slow in releasing updates. I recommend updating via Odin to XWKL1 (Open Europe) 2.3.6
Or alternatively update to UK vodafone branded BUKJ3 2.3.5

It was my concern as well. But if you follow flashing steps then nothing could go wrong. But if... then just flash stock rom version you had at the beginning, if needed use jig to reset the counter and you can easily take your phone back to the shop

this may be the case of CSC as you mentioned. If you want stock O2 then try one more time KF3 but it's old 2.3.3, if CSC won't update then use O2 KJ1 2.3.5

Kies doesnt works

Hello,
when i want to connect my SGS 2 with kies over wlan or usb it doesnt works.
my current fw is checkrom revohd6 and i need that connection with kies because of the ics update tomorrow.
hope somebody can help me.
if there are some question to get more informations please just ask and sorry because of my bad english.
greez
Kies tends not to work with custom roms. You're going to have to go back to stock if you want official ICS via Kies.

Dont expect a release of ICS for everybody tomorrow .Servers would not cope with a full rollout in one day.
Bit stupid in my view to have a custom rom no backup of original firmware wipe phone install stock wait for ICS upgrade to ICS then wait again for custom ICS roms .

and where can i find the latest stock rom for my sgs2?
i live in germany..
Find/download the PC version of Checkfus (search on here/Google). This will enable you to download a tarball you can flash in Odin by following the instructions in Intratech's firmware thread.

Let's start here.
Your profile says "T-Mobile", with a US flag. So are you sure you are an I9100 user? Or do you actually have an SGH-T989, which is the T-Mobile USA variant of Galaxy SII?
FYI, this is the I9100 forum, which is a completely different model of phone than the T-Mobile USA variant.
I'm form poland and i'm in t-mobile. And i'm sure i have SGH-I9100 -.- And i want to make phone stock to kies compatibile with it.

Ah, good, you changed your flag.
Unfortunately, a lot of the links in Intratech's thread are for multiupload, which has been shut down.
However, you should be able to download a stock firmware for Poland from samfirmware.com. Flash that, and you should be good to go.
ok ill try
By the way - I hope you meant "GT-I9100"... as there is no such model as "SGH-I9100".
I downloaded from that site the newest rom for my country and kies says my device isn't operating kies update.

So you flashed an ICS firmware (4.0.3) already. Flash to a 2.3.6 firmware if your want Kies to update it to ICS for you.
ok ill try
So if i have current version (ICS) this is the same as i would update it by kies ?

*sigh*
My point here, was you have to be precise on model numbers.
GT-I9100 is not the same as GT-I9100G, is not the same as GT-I9100P, is not the same as GT-I9100T.
I9100G cannot use the same firmwares as any of the other three.
I9100P can use I9100 firmwares, but will lose NFC if you do (unless you re-enable it via a mod)
I9100T can use I9100 firmwares, but will probably have to flash a modem optimized for Tesltra to get good signal afterwards.
If you start telling people you have an "SGH-I9100", no one will know what you have, or be able to help you.

Can't you use the CheckFUS downloader to get the latest "stock" firmware for your region and model?

Yes to this, most likely
If you have Galaxy S2 I9100 (International Version) you can flash it via ODIN.

STOCK is SAMSUNG firmware .
If you want 3uk firmware then restore your original saved rom.
Not bothered to save it then CHECKFUS is probably your route to 3uk firmware .

If you as the owner don't know then nobody else will know .
Just guess at a version of 3uk firmware for your location .
Or ask on a 3uk forum what is your firmware .

KI8 is the newest Gingerbread Three ROM apart from the ICS build released today.
I don't have it to upload though, I only have I9100XWKE1 which is a very old build, But if you can't find KI8 Three stock anywhere I'll upload it somewhere for you.
[edit] Infact I have KI8 on my PC if you can't find it online let me know.
Personally though I'd just flash LP7 much better than LPQ that Three have released today & not as much bloatware!
Because I am a really nice person, Don't complain about speeds this was the first link that would let me upload over 300mb

Unzip first & then Flash with Odin3 PDA mode.

Unknown kernel and now soft bricked

Hi there, wasnt getting too much response in the Aus thread so fingers crossed someone can help. My dilemma is i have tried to root the phone and now im stuck on the opening screen...tried various kernels with no success. I dont have/ didnt check the original settings (hindsight i know)
Phone was on Gingerbread 2.3.5
Model is: 9100T - Vodaphone Australia
I can access the download screen, Odin works fine, kernels say pass/ success but my problem remains
I've searched countless threads, used just about every kernel, but unsure as to what the next step is
If anyone can shed some light on this matter it would be greatly appreciated.
did you try flashing a stock rom through odin ?

You can pick whatever firmware you want, branded or unbranded wont matter, just download the one you prefer and flash it through odin (PDA)

I wish it was that easy. I have tried them all. I've tried ICS, GB both fail on either Vodaphone or optus.
