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

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.

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?
I am having issues updating my handset, one of my friend messed up my handset when upgrading.
Current version:- 4.0.3
Baseband version:- I9100XXLP1
Kernel version:- 3.0.15-i9100xxlp2-cl57619 [email protected] #3
Build number:- ICS.XXLP2
I could not determine which software I should upgrade to/how to root.
my friend when he updated the version he didn't even root the phone.
I am having trouble getting 3G network, signal drop outs, I have done all the troubleshooting, looked on google but the information given was too confusing...
can someone help me in rooting the phone with the version I have installed OR choosing the applicable newest version on my phone.
let me know if any further

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.
Recently i purchased a GT-S5360L after downloading two apps my phone told me my memory was low, i then attempted to use app2sd and rooted my phone i also tried creeds rom which was good except my headphone jacks didnt work, after trying to flash to hyperion7 my phone decided not to boot and i was bricked i decided to flash to a different rom from brazil using odin which brought my phone back however i as unable to get back my hsdpa i have read xda forums and i have tried just about everything but i cannot get back the initial rom, i recently went back to my mobile provider's store and found this information :model : gt-s5360L android version: 2.3.6 baseband version S5360LUHKK2 Kernel version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #39 Build number GINGERBREAD.WBK i tried to search the net but to know avail kies wont update my phone beacause of the odin rom i am running and though i have downloaded files from sammobile that might help they are huge and not odin friendly i was wondering if there is a way to get my original rom back, from samsung or otherwise i ram an app created byy docky which said my burn in model os is s5360maljdi is there anyone who knows a method other than slitfuz which might help me to revert back to my previous rom, i dont have any nandroid backup and i also know itts my fault and i am a stupid noob, please help me my company uses 850 as their 4G/3G/HSDPA band if that helps
Currently info after flashing:
Model number: GT-s5360B
android Version:2.3.6
baseband: s5360butg1
build nuumber: GINGERBREAD.UTLG1
Kernel versio 2.6.35.7
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.
