I actually have this setup after flashing and rooted XXKI4 (intratech tread), every things ok but my Product Code change from "COM" to KOR".
PDA: I9100UHKH3
PHONE: I9100XXKI4
CSC: I9100COMKH1
Build Info: Thu Aug 25 11:42:14 KST 2011
ROOTED: YES I9100XXKH3
Android Version: 2.3.4
Then I Restore in Recovery Mode a original firmware's full Backup I made before flash (Product Code return to COM), thinking Kies recognize it as original upgradable but don't.
Now I need flashing with the original firmware (Colombia Comcel "COM")
Thanks for your help...

Here you can find the links, but some of them are dead. You need to ask Intratech to post new link for yours.
If you're after the original firmware that came with your phone, you're probably out of luck. However, you can get the latest firmware available for your phone/carrier/country using an app called Checkfus. Search for it on here.
Sorry if it sounds like a stupid question. When I first bought my UK unlocked I9100, it had Gingerbread on it. I then upgraded to the stock 4.0.3 ICS and then rooted with CF-Root v.5.4 LP7 as per instructions posted here on XDA.
Here are my current stats now...
I9100XWLP7
baseband version: I9100XXLPS
kernel version: 3.0.15-I9100XWLP7-CL340913

build number: IML74K.XWLP7

Yesterday, I got an automatic notification on my phone telling me there is a software update. I'm assuming this is the same thing as the stock 4.0.4 firmware posted on these forums...
I9100XWLPT
Base Firmware: I9100XWLPT (4.0.4)
Region: Europe
Country United Kingdom / Ireland
Carrier: Unbranded
Build Date: 27 July 2012
Modem: XXLQ6

Change List: 941023
Can I upgrade by hitting OK on the phone to the automatic update or by doing it through Kies? Will it break the root, or worse screw up the phone because it was rooted? If it just undoes the root without doing damage, how would I re-root? If it keeps the root intact, that would be the ideal situation.
Thanks!
It will break root. But if you make update, never use CWM on stock kernel (hardbrick bug enabled).
You can re-root by flashing CF-Root.

Thanks for the quick reply. So if I stick with stock firmwares and CF-root, I don't have to worry about bricking, right? I assume the instructions in the first post of this thread is what I need to follow...

Thanks again.
can't he not just use KIES in order to update safely to 4.0.4 ?

From what I understand, I can either upgrade via Kies or flash the same firmware that's listed in the forums. And then when I root, I take it I follow these steps...

Why do you need stock kernel
Hello everyone,
My phone details are as follows:
I9100XWLPT
Base Firmware: I9100XWLPT (4.0.4)
Region: Europe
Country United Kingdom / Ireland
Carrier: Unbranded
Build Date: 27 July 2012

And this is supported by networks in my region (Pakistan). But unfortunately this has the emmc brick bug as well. If I flash the following firmware using Odin then what kinda issues I will have to face? Will my network support it? And do I need to make a backup of efs folder before flashing? How can I choose the right firmware? PLEASE GUIDE I HAVE NO IDEA.

You need to do some searching by yourself, that is what the search function is for. EPS Pro for backing up EFS folder: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546 Make a backup before flashing Siyah Kernel, and make sure you have root in order for backup to work.
You can just flash Siyah Kernel v4.1.5 via Odin to prevent brickbug in ICS v4.0.4. Look at my rooting guide in my sig, just change the CF-Root file with Siyah Kernel. Refer here: www.gokhanmoral.com/public/files/siyahkernel/v4/Siyah-s2-v4.1.5.tar
In case you are unsure what brickbug is, the stock 4.0.4 kernel has MMC_CAP_ERASE enabled which bricks your phone when a wipe data command is used in stock recovery. Siyah kernel deals with this by disabling MMC_CAP_ERASE. This command needs to be enabled for the brick to occur, so don't worry about having to change your ROM.
But if I plan to unroot my phone latter on then I will have to get it back on stock and If I flash the same stock 4.0.4 then I wont be able to wipe data thats why I was asking about LPQ. Will it work for me?

Well if you wished to unroot it and return it to stock 4.0.4 again, you would just be where you are now. Yes, you can flash 4.0.3 if you want, although I struggle to understand why you would return it to stock at a later date anyway.
If your network struggles to pick up a good signal on it, there are many modems out there that you can flash to make your network signal stronger. Refer here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950
