http://www.darkyrom.com.. check the thread out very useful pretty much stock but it is tweaked

Thanks, does every rom work on every SG2?? or do i need a localized version???

This is a very good tutorial: http://androidbeast.com/937/tutoria...oid-ice-cream-firmware-on-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100/
I used it to install CM9 ICS.
Remember to follow the Rooting tutorial, then follow the CM9 tutorial if you want to use CM9. Otherwise stock ICS is perfectly fine for you.

New SGS2 needs rooting, please

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.

[Q] Restoring to factory (Singapore SGS 2)

Hi guys, i've been using the SGS 2 for quite sometime now. Right now i just wanna put it back to the way i got it fresh out of the box or to a latest firmware thats legit.
Here's what i'm running:
ROM: VillainROM 2.4.2
PDA: I9100XXKG6
PHONE: I9100XXKG6
CSC: I9100OXAKG6
BASEBAND VERSION: I9100XXKG6
KERNEL VERSION: [email protected] #26
Hope someone could lend me a hand maybe perhaps give a step by step on what needs to be done first before i start going back to basics. I'm not very savvy yet with these rooting and stuff. Thanks in advance guys.
You are using a Custom ROM, so to put back the Stock ROM you need to flash back the Stock ROM via Odin.
Get the Stock ROM from here,

[Q] No CSC in KIES

Hi guys, I've been struggling with my phone the last phew weeks. I hope you guys can help me out.
I bought my phone in Belgium and I had a firmware from Poland. While I was waiting for the Belgian ICS rom to launch I got nervous and installen a custom rom.
Everything went well, except that I like touchwiz more. So I installed the right Belgian rom (XXKI9). But now kies doesn't want to check my phone because it doesn't recognize my firmware. When I type *#1234# I get:
PDA: I9100XWKI9
PHONE I9100XXKI4
CSC: Unknown
The stock rom I downloaded was in 1 file. What do you think the problem might be?
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Greets,
Patrick

[Q] Looking for offical rom

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
