[Q] I9100 installed incorrect ROM - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Guys,
can some one please help me in rooting the phone and installing ICS resurruction remix or to the latest version applicable...
I looked up on the Internet and there is so much information where I am getting confused, can some one give me a hand in finding the correct update applicable.
Current version/About Phone:-
Model NUmber:- GT-I9100
Android Version:- 4.0.3
Baseband version I9100XXLP1
Kernel Version:- 3.0.15-I9100XXLP1-CL57619 [email protected] #3
Build number:- ICS.XXLP2
one of my friend did the update without complete knowledge, my phone was not even rooted, I had 2.3.3 Version (intial version when I bought the phone a year ago)
Current problems - I cannot get 3G signal (data network doesn't turn on)
Let me know If any further informaiton is required.
Thanks a lot in advance

Root your phone with CF-root Kernel (CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LP1-v5.2-CWM5.zip)
download from the link in my signature and flash as per the guide on the thread,
then install your favorite ROM from CWM,
if the 3g issue is a software diffect, it will be solved by flashing new ROM,
otherwise service center....

Help needed please

Hey guys,
I'm a real noob at roms, rooting etc but i followed a tutorial on Youtube which lead me to root my phone using Odin and Superoneclick. I have no idea what this did as i didn't notice a difference on my phone but now ICS is released for my Galaxy SII which is TmobileUk branded. However, when i check on Kies, it says New Firmware Is Available but when i click Firmware Upgrade button then nothing happens. When I click Firmware upgrade and initialization under tools i get the error GT-I9100 does not support initialising. When reading on forums i found out this is because of me rooting so i searched on how to unroot Galaxy S2 but everything comes up with Unroot and installing Stock Kernal etc but i am not sure if i have installed a kernal but i can remember i put XWKDD file in ODIN.
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: I9100BOKF1
Kernal Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.BOKF3
and i have no MOD VERSION which i fugured is for a rom.
When typing *#1234# i get these versions:
PDA: I9100BOKF3
PHONE: I9100BOKF1
CSC: I9100TMUKF1
I have read some posts and found UK Tmobile have BOKF3 etc from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
but i do not know what todo with it.
Also i just installed an app called Ginger Unroot which has unrooted my phone so if i need to root or do anything can you explain please and will any of the steps wipe my phone (apps, data etc)
I really need this help
Thanks in advance
RE
Im real desperate
What most people do one they root their phones is install ROMs based off of the official release. It's like getting the release, and guaranteeing root access. I think that's a better way. You have more freedom. Otherwise, you can upgrade and pray that Samsung doesn't release something that breaks your rooting capabilities. Check the forums for a ROM based off if the official OTA update and install that. If you have a custom recovery installed, (Which you should have if you rooted correctly) add far as I know, the update won't work.

Use thanks if I've helped you

Hey there thanks for replying Can i find out if i have a custom rom or kernal as i dont know but i did unroot by an app called Ginger Unroot and checked with basic root checker which confirmed that i no longer have root access but the error still comes up. So if an OTA Update is released, then can I download that?

This is the Galaxy S i9000 area.. not the SII.... pay attention and post your messages correctly ...
If the phone is untouched and he wants to let it this way, only use Kies to update it.... if your facing any sort of problems, try a reset (WIPE)

this is the GALAXY S2 area.. also, don't forget to pay attention before you "scold" someone
your phone seems fine.. it's on ICS, maybe you just need a better modem for your carrier/region.
cheers

It's very common for mods to move threads to the forum they SHOULD be in. This thread may very well have started out in the I9000 forum.

Just to help which country are you in, UK, Ireland or somewhere else, there are a lot of versions but they are sometime country specific so wont work properly if you install the wrong one.

You can use Odin software to manually upgrade your phone's firmware. Then you can root it using CF root kernel.
You need to use a modem designed in your location like XXKL1 etc.
HIT THANKS IF IT HELPS YOU IN ANYWAY!!!

Have a look at this thread, they are all stok roms you need to download Odin and find the rom that fits with your country http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 try the 3rd post for 4.0.3 roms download the correct one and flash via Odin. After flash do a factory reset to clear out any old 2.3.3 stuff. Remember to backup your apps contacts etc first.
XWLPF appears to be the most recent one for you just confirm you are using a Samsung i9100 and not i9100g.

[Q] Stock Rom for dane?

Hey folks
I am having a problem with finding the right version for rooting and resetting the flash counter on my i9300.
I already rooted my phone once with the cyanogenmod installer. But my problem is that the phone just returned from repair and they installed the official samsung rom again but the flash counter remains above zero.
Which version of android should i install as a dane?
Installed on phone right now:
Baseband version i9300XXUGNA8
Build version: JSS15J.i9300XXUGNA5
I do not think that the infomation above matches the infomation i have found on the web.
