right before anyone has any smart comments, i have already searched for an answer and no luck.
my question is i updated my o2 uk, samsung galaxy s2 to the official o2 ics 4.0.3 rom vie kies a while ago but it really doesnt seem as good or as finished as gingerbread rom.
i think before ics i was on gb 2.3.5 o2 official rom and it was just flawless
i would like to know if it is possible to downgrade back to that official o2 gb eurobe uk rom ?
my current rom under about phone says, 4.0.3 baseband I9100xxLPR kernel version, 3.0.15-I9100XWLP3-CL287862 [email protected]#3 build number, IML74K.XWLP3
to flash back to the official gb 2.3.5 rom do i need to flash a different kernel or anything im a 100% noob here
i only say that because looking at custom roms people say oh u need to flash this kernal of that kernel etc...
thank you for your time any help would be amazing
Yes, it is.
you need to have a full package of GB's rom file (.tar.md5), then flash it via Odin..
that way, you dont need to flash any kernel, because its already contain kernel and stuff...
good luck
try another ics rom works better then any gb i had

Can I install Litening Rom v2.2 over my stock XWKE7
Good day all, I have a real nooby question regarding installing the Latest Lite'ning Rom V2.2 XXKG1 on my unrooted, brand new South African Vodacom/ Vodafone branded stock XWKE7 (out of box firmware).
Do I need to flash anything prior to flashing Litening Rom V2.2?
Or do I have install From the frst version and work my way upto 2.2?
I also can't seem to find Stock African Galaxy S II firmware anywhere - Would any XWKE7 firmware do?
I can find lots of info it just doesn't seem to tie up and all the various kernels and version numbers are making my head swim. Thank you in advance for any help

Yes - you have to start by flashing 2.0 - then you need to install the 2.1 update and then the 2.2 update.
Follow this to flash the 2.0 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274
Then follow this to upgrade 2.1 and 2.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15643453&postcount=5041
Thank you very much for the fast and prompt response. I'm going to do as described right away. Thank you again.

Hi Guys
I have recently bought new SGS II phone. I have been using HTC Desire and got more than 1 year of flashing experience almost every week i used to flash new ROM or updates to MIUI Rom. Touch wood i never bricked my phone.
I have rooted my SGS 2 with CF root method. Flashing Samsung device seems to be confusing me. There are so many kernels, Firmwares and even themes are dependent upon which firmware i am running.
I used to flash any rom for HTC desire without worrying about which firmware i originally got.
My carrier is T-mobile UK and running Kernel 2.6.35.7 KG2, can i flash any latest kernel or i need to match anything ?
My firmware is I9100BOKG1, can i update this to any firmware or it must be from UK and same carrier ?
Basically i do not understand what i can do and what i can not. I have searched for these all information everywhere on google but can not find any satisfactory answer.
Expert guys please help me.

Read and learn is the only way .

No flash anything bar ICS.
My firmware is I9100BOKG1, can i update this to any firmware or it must be from UK and same carrier ?
If you flash a kernel you will lose TMobile update path .
You can simply upgrade via the stock roms thread which debrands your phone or wait for TMobile upgrade but root may throw that out as its not the kernel that came with the phone .
Best solution is to read post one full of how to stickies .

Hi JJ
I have already installed Villian ROM 3.0 & enjoyed it for 2 days then i moved to Batista70 FoxHound Edition 3.0 with latest firmware XWKL1.
Thanks for your help.
Hi all,
First post but long time reader. I need to re-flash the original telstra software onto my atrix to return it for a warranty claim (camera, light and proximity sensors dead).
I'm unlocked running darkside rom, system version 4.5.133.MB860.ATT.en.US
Is there a way to go back to the telstra software so they won't think i've messed with the phone? Can i install the OLYEM U4 1.4.2 software or will this brick my phone?
Thanks in advance... i've searched and searched for hours now and can't find any helpful threads
As long as you didn't do the ota you can sbf froyo without getting a hardbrick and it gets rid of the unlock text but not the unlock and that should be fine
Well I'm not really sure if it was updated to GB via OTA. I bought the phone a month old on ebay, and bl unlocked it and installed darkside the day i got it, although i think it was on gingerbread. so that means i can't install the froyo sbf?
Try the gingerbread sbf just incase it is the ota it should work but I know for sure the froyo one does but you don't wanna risk it but it is safe to sbf gingerbread you just can't downgrade
---------- Post added at 02:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 AM ----------
just did some research for you and flashing stock gingerbread sbf does remove it
Okay so im guessing theres no telstra version gingerbread sbf for the atrix available because the only one i can find is froyo. I suppose i'll just install a different stock gingerbread rom then.
I just found that there is a sbf of telstra gingerbread available, however filesonic files are unavialable so i can't download it anymore. Does anyone have the following file on their computer, and if so can they upload it somewhere i can download it from?
1FF-olympus_emara-user-2.3.4-4.5.2A-74_OLE-20-release-keys-signed-Telstra-AU.sbf.gz
would be much appreciated

I went on the samfirmware.com website but it says the latest firmwares are from Jan 2012 ???? how is that even possible ?
I am looking for the latest firmware for Canada. I know it was released recently, because my friends are updating, but I'm on a custom ROM and I just want to find the latest ICS firmware and flash it.
Please help!
try the link below, and you should also check your Region Code first:

It's NOT possible. No offense, but if you can't navigate a website to find the latest firmwares (which are from May for the i9100 as of the time of this post), perhaps you should rethink flashing anything to your phone personally.
hi there,
I have just purchased a Samsung Galaxy s2 UK unlocked from a friend, the kernel says 3.0.15-i9100xxlp2-cl57619 [email protected] #3 which i believe is a beta unstable version of ICS.
This version is very buggy i cant even add images to contacts, i have tryed flashing other kernels which just lock up the phone, plus i cannot upgrade this via kies "kies your device does not support software upgrading via kies"...
my question is what kernel do i need to flash onto this with either a stable ICS version or a stock gingerbread so i can update via kies...
Regards
