Hello everyone
I bought the SGS2 I9100 (international version) off contract. The phone originally came with baseband version I9100XXKF3 and the language set to "English - U.K.". I am currently using an old Cognition build with baseband I9100XXKH3.
My question is, which ICS ROM should I install on my phone? I'm referring to stock or CFRoot roms only, I just don't want to install the wrong baseband rom on my phone. Also, I am on AT&T in the US and need to make sure that my phone and data services work after flashing.
Thanks for any help!

If the baseband you have works save it and pop it in your ICS if the baseband in that is not up to scratch .

What do you mean by that? If I flash an ics Rom, doesn't that set the baseband? I'm just trying to figure out which ics release I should use
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Basebands /modems are interchangeable for many locations .
Rom you are using now has a baseband if that works well note the version and you can flash one from the flashable modems thread if the ICS turns out to not have a suitable modem for your location .

Ok, so if I get a modem from there I can flash any of the ics builds? Do they differ only in their baseband/modem?

Would anybody be kind enough to post a recent modem for the I9100G? I've flashed SuperROM v3.0 so the ROM and kernel are pretty up to date, the only thing is my Baseband is still at DZKL3. I'm looking for anything newer, basically LA2, LB1 LC1 or LC2.
Thanks in advanced.
Actually better use baseband that updated for ur country..if u r from malaysia..better stay with dzkl3
Sent from my GT-I9100G
Yes, I'm from Malaysia, but I don't think DZKL3 is even for Malaysia. I downloaded it somewhere. Seems to work fine. I don't think there's much different between the country builds. I just would like to have the most recent modem if available.

Hi All,
I bought a used galaxy S2 I9100 yesterday,new to android.I have been a iphone user for 4 years and pretty aware of jailbreaking, unlocking installing custom firmwares. the terminology here in Android world is different though.
Have searched and read through different guides on the forum but still got some questions.
Model GT i900 LKAH3G
PDA i9100XWKE1
CSC I9100H3GKD4
Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 [email protected] # 2
Build Number GINGERBREAD.XWKE1
Looks like it was on Three network but it is unlocked mobile as i can use my airtel sim on the phone.
I dont want the Three network related stuff on the phone so i need to debrand the phone -- how to do it? there is guide on XDA forum but it talks primarily for O2 phones or might be i did not read it correctly. (there are also some options like the network mode which are disabled on this ROM )
Once debranding is done should i be ok to use any ROM or kernel?
Which would be best ROM to be installed and will it work for me in India.
Can i install the custom ROM and would i be able to install apps from the android Market.
If these have already been answered , can you please provide the link for that thread.
Thank You
I'd advice you to try the new ics roms, you can find the instructions inside the various rom threads, flashing these roms will get rid of the three junk as well as update your phone to the latest android os a.k.a ICS ..........
there is no such thing as a best rom for a specific country, but you can try different modems to find the one that gives you the best network and battery, you can find your modem under the baseband in about phone....
google for more info
happy flashing and welcome to Android we luf you here...........
Learn how to use Odin
Download stock gb from from checkfus or sammobile.
Flash using Odin, you will be unbranded.
After that root using cfroot, now learn how to use cfroot.
Now you can flash custom roms.

Hi KJplasma &atifsh
Thank you for the details.
can i install the below listed indian stock firmware using odin
PDA :I9100XWKE8 CSC:I9100ODDKE2
or do i need to install the firmware from UK
PDA :I9100XXKF2 CSC:MULTIOXAKF2
do i need to change the csc if i install the UK version?
Thanks
forget about csc.
if you have i9100 you can flash any region ROM and use in any country.
if you want Gb than go for la2 italy rom , iv used that and last time i check that was the fastest stock rom for GB
you can also flash ICS rom like uk lp7 too, just stay away from lp9 roms at the moment.
ad dont forget to wipe using the dialpad code *2767*3855#. [will wipe all data stored]

I have tried to do a factory rest from the phone's privacy menu but even after everything is done,istill see some files in the gallery.
i tried the code *2767*3855# everything goes fine but i see the message "cant access to system\csc\h3g\system\" and then the phone strats as normal.
can i flash it to the OS even if i am getting this message using odin or do i need to
do something before i flash?
factory reset will not delete your user stored data on the SD card...that can be manually deleted...if you want
you can flash the OS from ODIN
thanks for the responses.
I have upgraded to I9100XWLP7_I9100XEULP, and its working fine. the only problem seems to be its heating a bit where the camera is located . will read more topics and see why this is happening.

Yes though the newer dxlp9 was much better, previous one had bunch of issues including sleep of death.
Also that ROM introduces the contact/dialer lag bug. Which some how got to Google account and now every time I sync contacts it get back.
I deleted all my contacts and synced again and it's all better, tried on dxlp9 and was working fine, than I switched to my regular cm9.

For a start, if you remember your last ROM that doesn't had heat issues, flash that modem. Doesn't matter if you use GB modem on ics.
I flashed the modem of my region xxki4 which is 2.3.5 jpkj2 and had no issues of heat in ics.

Yea, but LQ5 could also brick your phone, since it's not an official release and only a leaked version, I would advise vladbaca to stay away from it and try LPG, which is very stable, the WiFi bug is fixed and it has a good battery life.

I have RR 4.07 (Android 4.2.2 ) and having some problems .... before that i had stock Orange RO with 4.1.2 . My question is , if i flash this onto my SGS2 , could this cause problems ?
Yes. Never flash a modem +ril combo onto a non Sammy based rom. You could get signal dropouts or lost imei. Only flash modem, no ril. Search for hawkerpaul's modem thread, you should be able to find the same modem but without the ril. Failing that then find another modem thread and search for the same file without ril.

Baseband is the phone/modem part of a package and is distinct from PDA which is the software/firmware and CSC, which contains geographic or carrier specific info.
If you flash a rom with a different modem as part of the package you simply have a different modem. Never had a problem flashing roms built on different basebands. If you have problems with one modem you can usually just flash a new one separately.
Just make sure any rom you flash is for the correct version of the phone. Make sure you don't flash a US carrier variant firmware on an international I9300 or vice versa!

What model number are the phones I9300 / I9305?
they are i9300t
I managed to root both of them. I know have a major problem. 1 of them had a problem with wifi. It couldnt connect. I read about a solution by copying the wifi folder from version 4.1.1. Tried that. It worked for once but after reboot it stopped. And now I can't even turn on the wifi. It gets stuck on Turning on... Do i have to reflash the rom again and if so how will i do that? It was stock rom on stock kernel. Only rooted. gt i9300t moder and build DUELL2.
Also can i flash a rom with different build over that? For example XXEMC2 that i have on my Greek galaxy s3?
I9300T rooting is the same as I9300 rooting, follow the guides of CF-Root 6.4 or CF-Autoroot. (I got a T model myself)
You can flash any I9300 rom also on the T model, therefore root is not 100% necessary. Full wipes are recommended for flashing different versions though.

For wifi, try a stock ROM (flash it new incl. wipes etc.), or try a different kernel, whereas the stock kernel should always work.

you can find (unrooted) stock roms for instance on sammobile.com or (rooted) stock roms here on XDA in the General section.
Easiest way to flash them is via Mobile Odin (gives you the option to keep root) or Odin (you will loose root but you can flash CF afterwards manually).
And yes you can flash any build that is made for the I9300/I9300T.
The only difference between both models is the frequency of the baseband (the T model is more optimized for 850mhz) whereas you even can use modems of the I9300 on the I9300T.

There is a difference between the ROM's firmware (basically your OS, e.g. XXEMC2) and the modem (basically the part which gives you the connection to the next mobile tower and is managing the frequencies, e.g. DUELL2).
It does not matter that much what ROM firmware you use as they are nearly identical in each country (here and there dif. apps due to providers) but more that you use a modem that delivers in the country you are in. Hence, I would first try the modems of your region (you can find a list of all modems in the General section's modem collection).
Regarding the risk of bricking: there is always a risk, no one can guarantee you anything , whereas if you follow the guides you should be fine.

Ok. So the CSC numbers that are different on lets say the DUELL2 and the XXEMC2 are not something to bother me right? I just download the XXEMC2 rom and flash it on the DUELL2 S3 and then I just will root it. right? Will the phone become i9300 after that procedure? or stay i9300t? So I know which file i should use to root it.
Soz for too many questions but the phone is not mine and I need to be sure for the procedure.

The firmware code (XXEMC2) should not be of concern.
The modem code (DUELL2) should be of concern IF you experience bad performance in the region you are. If so, flash a different modem and try it.
The phone will be an I9300T whereas in the menus it might tell you I9300, anyway there is no difference in the files to use.
For rooting, follow the guide, you can use CF-Root 6.4 (if you want a custom recovery) or CF-Autoroot (if you want to use stock recovery).

Thanks a lot mate. This helped a lot. I decided to go with the 4.1.1 version of its current region. Later if we see that it doesnt perform well here in greece we will flash the xxemc2 rom.
Ok i downloaded the rom from sammobile and the file name is this I9300TDUDLK1_I9300ZZZLK1_VAU.zip but i get an error message that says cannot open. file unknown or damaged :/ Why is that? Is this file meant to be named as md5?

To flash a rom via odin you need the md5 file, correct. Hence unzip or if you cannot maybe the download is corrupt?
