Hi
I read some posts here but I am still lost. I came from Sony Ericson Experia x10 mini, so I am not a total newbi, or so I thought.
Info after *#1234#
PDA: I9100XXLPQ
PHONE: I9100XXLPQ
CSC: I9100XXLPQ
The phone is rooted with CWM and with ICS 4.0.3 installed
OK my question: I want to install a new rom from here but now I don’t understand with the MINI if your baseband is correct you can install any kernel and rom you like
But now I hear talk about modems and all kinda things .. please help me get from stock ICS to a custom rom
Modems are for the functions of your GSM/Data services of the Phone, generaly it is not so important to have a perticular modem but recommended to use what is relesed for your region,
this can be flashed seperetely at any time from your CWM, until you find a best...
Most of the custom roms Devs pick the best modem for their roms which is universaly working, you dont wat to change it. and some custom roms dont have Modem, your existing modem will remain when you flash such roms...
Modem and Baseband are samething...

Like i said i am from SE Mine and all the roms had a specific requirements before you install. Do i download any rom and just flash via CWM or do i look for something specific?

well these are my questions, i'm looking for some answers i'm sure you can help me or erase these doubts i have.
Phone info:
Unbranded phone bought in USA and used in Argentina (sorry for my english, not really good)
Gingerbread 2.3.4
PDA: i9100UHKI2
PHONE: i9100UHKI1
CSC: i9100TPAKI2
i got my phone 1 day ago the first thing i did was a cf root kernel and my phone was root then i got speedmod kernel and everything ok (So only kernels customizations) but here is my doubt
1) Can i flash any kernel i want? I think i can, but.... haha
2) can i flash now any custom rom i want, for example villain, litening, etc
IF i can, will i have problems with mi 3g network. All the explanation with the csc is not clear on my head (or maybe i can put manually my apn settings, or flash a csc unbrandeed thas my stock rom has)
3) can i flash between any stock rom or this is not recommended
4)if i can flash any custom rom like villain, that custom rom is 2.3.5 and my phone is 2.3.4 is that a problem or not. maybe i need to flash an stock rom 2.3.5.
I have made efs backup, cwm backup, and my stock firmware is on stock firmwares thread so great
that's all thanks in advance guys
this forum helped me a lot.
PS: i have read al the noob guides and faq, and searched on the forum but truly i didn't find my answers and my english is not good enough haha so it's get complicated sometimes to understand clearly the idea.
im not expert but i can answer few of your question..
1. yes u can ( btw u didnt have to root ur phone at all.. since speedmod comes with preroot)
2. yes u can flash any rom u want but some roms isnt compatible with some kernels so u should read carefully which one is compatible
3. im not entirely sure but i think u cant... because different stock roms have different csc which is ur region data... i live in finland so i can only flash nordic roms.. but as i say before not entirely sure
4. about this i have no idea =/

Yup, you can do all of these. I installed cf-root on my own SGS2 aswell and went straight for custom ROM's (im still staying on the cf-root (stock with root) kernel. Didnt need a new one, but it doesnt matters you can do anything anyways).
As long as the rom/kernel you download is for the sgs2 (the clear one, not at&t or any other), everything will be perfectly fine.
As for the 3g problems, just try the rom out (or read feedback/ROM desctiption)

Oh and about question 4. Yes you can, its just like updating from 2.3.* to any other. I was on stock 2.3.3 and jumped straight to the Revolution ROM which is based on 2.3.5

I never had problems with csc. Never even touched it. Just flash the ROM's and thats it
And about connection, you should simply get the Modem that is suitable for you after flashing the ROM, but thats not a problem

awesome thanks man, this takes out all my doubts
I have 3 questions that i couldn't answer by myself..
1.
Is there any Custom ROM for XXKPP ?
I look at the custom rom list at section android development but i couldn't find for this baseband version.
2.
In BehradGH CyanoAce RC2.2 :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258830
He recommends XKPB 2.3.4 Modem, and my question is :
If I flash my firmware with XKPP or Baseband version 2.3.4+ , is there will be any problem if i use that ROM?

Cyano Ace is outdated. I recommend Infinity ROM. Its making great news on XDA.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
But Tj, is that infinity ROM support for XKPP ? Sorry if this is a stupid question, because i still can't understand about baseband version.
i guess it will support that
just flash it as i tried it and it is fast and nice looking
and lighter too
Click thanks if i helped
Sam
Allright, maybe i'll try it.. But if there is anyone who can explain more, i'll be more grateful Thx
1- custom rom doesnt depends on baseband at all. u can flash it on any baseband. just make sure to not mix eg by flashing gb custom rom/cm7 rom on froyo. that would be stupid.
2- suggestion is not mandatory. when i first flash that rom i'm on chinese zckpa rom with chinese baseband, and it work just fine.

You can check it in http://www.sammobile.com
But you must register first, so you can see the latest firmware for your ace.
Or, you can go to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20763943
I think the mod of that thread take all baseband information from sammobile.
Check it out dude

I have a rooted GT-I9100 with baseband XXKI4 and Kernel version 2.6.35.7-I9100JPKJ2. The CSC is given as OJPKJ1 (XSG).
As it is rooted I needed to flash one of the custom ICS offerings. Does it matter which one or can I choose any one of them on offer? Please advise.
Thanks

first read the changelog of all those custom ics roms and see the diff in them and choose the one which fits ur need and flash the same
If you want to flash a (modified) firmware through CWM, then check out the wanamlite website or his thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1292825)
If you want to flash a pure stock firmware, then find one at SamMobile and use Odin to flash in download mode. You can find instructions on this if you do a search. This method does not require root.

there isn't any tumb rule of sort that u should choose a rom according to baseband ma8
u can always change the baseband, if the same is not wrk'ng properly irrespective of the Custom/Stock Rom ur into
u can flash the baseband via cwm recovery if its a .zip file, and thro 'pc odin' if its a .tar file

1. The baseband they are talking about is probably for iPhone.
In Android the baseband is the Radio or modem, Simple. It is responsible for network signal and mobile data (4G, 3G, 2G).
Stop reading tutorials from garbage blogs. Everything you see here on XDA should be enough in preventing you from spoiling your phone.
There are many things you need to consider before flashing custom stuffs but the most important thing is flashing what is meant for your PHONE MODEL.
Kernel and your android version are also of great importance when flashing.
2. Not BASEBAND! You only need to change your KERNEL for your Android version and phone model

its not the baseband thats important ma8, when ur on stock rom and u have to install Custom Roms means u have to 'Root' ur phone first, for which the important thing u have to consider is the Kernel and the Build in ur settings>about phone (where u get the info of the same Kernel and Build)

3.Finally if I have to be very specific in choosing Roms what option do I have . I haven't came across almost any roms supporting LP3.
Help will be much appreciated

1. Yes, you can. Install a 4.0.4 rom from CWM (if custom rom - zip file) or from ODIN (if stock rom - tar file)
2. You are not limited to 4.0.3 however if you like to stay on that you can flash any version including XWLPG (choose most suitable for).
3. You don't have to be specific.
There are however some basic rules to be followed:
- if you switch between different roms - full wipe is recommended to avoid any freezes, FCs etc
- if you move from 4.0.3 to stock 4.0.4 don't wipe anything just after flashing 4.0.4 rom due to possible brick bug. Imediately after flashing 4.0.4 stock rom flash one of the safe kernels (wihout wipes before) - eg. PhillZ-CWM6, Siyah, Dorimanx etc.

Yes, after flashing a 4.0.4 based Custom Rom if u wish to rewert back to Stock ICS 4.0.3 u can always do so

Yes, u can ma8 remember once rooted u can install any custom rom of ur choice, but the only thing u have to ensure is that those roms are meant for ur model ie I9100 and u should follow the install instruction given by the devloper's of that rom to perfection
