You also keep using I9000 and I9100 interchangeably, what phone do you actually have? If you have an I9100 (not I9000 or I9100G) then you can find everything you need about flashing an ICS ROM in the stickies, specifically http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487

Hi guys & gals,
I've *just* taken delivery of a new Samsung Galaxy SII running
Android 2.3.3
Baseband I9100XXKDJ
Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKDJ-CL187606 [email protected]#2
Gingerbread XWKE2 build
I've successfully flashed the kernel of my previous SGS1 to root it using CF-Root via Odin.
I believe I'm looking for a KDJ version of the CF-Root, but can't find one.
Any help / pointers would be much appreciated as unrooted, the phone's just no fun! And I can't use my Titanium backup.
Thank you
Dave
No need to find KDJ or specific. Just find your PDA version and flash that kernel.
I hope you know how to see PDA version,
*#1234#
Regards.

You may want to update to a newer rom, look in this thread, then select a correct version of CF root.

This thread will give you your kernel

alright. long story short i bought a factory unlocked GSII (from amazon) parallel import. it is the international version
there is no carrier bloatware. it currently has a vodafone australia SIM in it.
even though the ICS update for the GSII was released today in a few countries, does that mean i still have to wait? id check but i have to get kies to be able to sync to my phone first. working on that now
also, as far as i know, the phone was from france, and the modem firmware is for Poland. im quite interested in knowing some more info about this phone.. where it came from and info about it. here are the details
model number: GT-i9100
android version: 2.3.5
baseband version: i9100xxki4
kernel version: 2.6.35.7
cheers

via kies if its original firmware .
I suspect yours is not original kernel looks to be later 2.6 and phone 2.3

why would it not be a original kernel?
Just download firmware from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
use Odin for update according to the instructions in the beginning of that thread.
The standard XXLPQ-version should work fine for you (installed it myself yesterday).
There are no problem with your kernel, JJEgan is usually right, but this time I believe he replied too fast
(mixing up Linux kernel version with Android version)
And if you want root, then install correct CF-root kernel from this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
The important thing is that you have the standard international version of SGS2 (i9100), and that seems to be the case. None of the firmwares in the thread above will brick an i9100...

I did the XXLPQ install based off this thread

Worked perfectly.
I have an international version and flashed it with the LPQ Firmware that was released in Europe and works great for me...

I am looking for an official ICS or JB rom for samsung galaxy 2, and I am worried a lot as I've seen some threads about hard bricked phones when upgrade to wrong or bad rom.
Phone currently running android 2.3.5 with CF-Root kernel
Here's some extra info:
PDA: I9100JPKJ2
PHONE: I9100XXKI4
CSC: I9100OJPKJ1
I was looking through this thread to get an upgrade: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 but I don't know which one suites my phone and there's no JB (ICS would be good if there's some bugs in JB).
Join Sammobile and plug in your phone details etc and come back and say what roms are listed for 4.0.3 and/or 4.0.4

Hello,
I used to have a Galaxy S2 International edition (GT-I9100). Somehow I managed to fried its CPU (!!!) and I needed to buy a new motherboard. The cheapest one (and also new) was from a shop in Canada.
They send me the new motherboard (fits and working just fine) but looking into the phone's "About Phone" menu it says that the "Model number" is GT-I9100M.
Here are the details:
Model number: GT-I9100M
Android version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9100MUGKG2
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100MUGKG2-CL371789 [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.UGKG2
Because frying the CPU was totally my mistake (not reading the flashing instructions completely) I don't want to messed up the phone again!
And you can see the android version is pretty old!
What I want to know is if the available roms for GT-I9100 can be used for GT-I9100M.
Thank you for your time

The i9100M is just a Bell's variant of the i9100 (Canadian service provider). The only different is that the i9100M has a model name of i9100M instead of i9100. So I can imagine you can flash any i9100 ROM without a problem. After flashing an i9100 ROM, I'll assume your model number will change to i9100 (no big deal). By the way, all the information was on Wikipedia under SGS2 > Variants if you bothered to look.

Before posting here, I made a search and figured out that I9100M is a canadian version of I9100 but I just wanted to be sure that it will be safe to flash I9100 roms.
