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!!!

Hi guys,
Hopefully you can offer me some advice.
I've been running on stock and normal kies releases on my O2 Samsung Galaxy S2 and I rooted it using infratechs technique is in 'stock' threads. A few days ago an update came up on Kies for the 2.3.5, I've updated and everything apart from my reception is fine. Where before I had say 3 out of 5 bars, now I have none and in areas where I had full strength I only have 3.
My phone details are now:
Android Version: 2.3.5
Baseband Version: I9100XXKI4
Kernal Version: 2.35.7-I9100XWKJ1-CL647431 [email protected] #2
Gingerbread Version: GINGERBREAD.XWKJ1
I've not done anything else to the device since I updated it, not sure why it still says root on ther kernal, But none the less has anyone got any suggestions on what I can do to fix the problem? I don't want to start playing around with flashing until I've had some real guidance from people who know alot more then me!
Thanks in advance.

You need to flash a different modem. That will probably take away your problem. Do you know which rom you had? Then you can flash that modem onto your device.

Hi Lenny, thanks for the quick response it is appreciated.
I don't I'm afraid, I'm guessing it would have been the stock one on the previous version?
Here is a topic about modems that can be flashed true your recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277593
Just try some out and see what works for you the best You could start with the latest and then try the one before that one etc.
How do you know if it worked?

Lennyz1988 - thanks for the guidance. I am definitely a newbie at this. Yesterday my G2 updated it's firmware and the did 2.3.5. The reception dropped straightaway and not doesn't work in parts of the house it did easily before. Those calling me said it was terrible. God forbid, I am having to use an old iphone now!!!
I have rooted the phone, loaded Rom Manager, put it in recovery mode and then told it to install one of the zip files (kp1). It did started the install (orange bar across bottom) but had to press the home key a couple of times to keep it going (there was yellow lines of scripts or comments with several lines of red in the middle each time I pressed the home key but too fast to read).
Anyway, no difference so I suspect it didn't work. Any ideas - stats below ??
I would pay for help if someone could fix the thing.

Baseband - I9100BUK1

Original O2 shipped modems first release was KDH
Any of the released modems work on O2 UK some may give individuals better reception .
If you use CWM root and Rom Manager = problems .

alright. long story short i bought a factory unlocked GSII (from amazon) parallel import. it is the international version
there is no carrier bloatware. it currently has a vodafone australia SIM in it.
even though the ICS update for the GSII was released today in a few countries, does that mean i still have to wait? id check but i have to get kies to be able to sync to my phone first. working on that now
also, as far as i know, the phone was from france, and the modem firmware is for Poland. im quite interested in knowing some more info about this phone.. where it came from and info about it. here are the details
model number: GT-i9100
android version: 2.3.5
baseband version: i9100xxki4
kernel version: 2.6.35.7

Just download firmware from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
use Odin for update according to the instructions in the beginning of that thread.
The standard XXLPQ-version should work fine for you (installed it myself yesterday).
There are no problem with your kernel, JJEgan is usually right, but this time I believe he replied too fast
(mixing up Linux kernel version with Android version)
And if you want root, then install correct CF-root kernel from this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
The important thing is that you have the standard international version of SGS2 (i9100), and that seems to be the case. None of the firmwares in the thread above will brick an i9100...

Bought a second hand galaxy s2 yesterday and flashed the ICS firmware. The ICS firmware flashed properly and succeeded without any errors.
s14.postimage.org/n74p8nry7/Screenshot_2012_09_19_06_57_14.png
Kernel missing Kernel version? All the Kernel versions that I've seen posted have had more information than my phone displays.
s16.postimage.org/imb2wxnhf/Screenshot_2012_09_19_06_58_25.png
The serial number is missing like in the post above.
Please could someone advise? I would like to root this phone but I don't think I can without the kernel version.
Thank you.

this is weird, I too did a search on the same subject and it brought me here other links take me off onto missing IMEI numbers etc... none seen yet that address this issue. Is it a dead issue, can it be restored back to phone such as with the IMEI? maybe a title of the thread would help in making sure I have the right one before opening them all.
thank you any help will be appreciated

Forget ICS and whatever you do don't factory reset on 4.0.4 or say bye bye to your s2. Goto sammobile and download lsw jelly bean and flash that through Odin. Just remember don't factory reset on 4.0.4!! You should of bin warned about this.
I bought my phone as is and I have no idea what has been done to it to make it work on my carrier. I am still on Gingerbread and would like to upgrade to ICS.
This phone was originally from Rogers network, Canada and is now being used on Wind Mobile network, Canada

It appears to be bone stock from the info you have provided. I suggest reading through the stickies. What I did in order was root, install a form of cwm and then flash the roms of my choosing. XDA has a wealth of information provided in the stickies. The hardest thing but still super easy, providing you read and follow directions, is root. Just read and read and read. If you have any questions, feel free to pm me and I will do my best to assist. Then you pass on the knowledge to the next person needing assistance.
Everything you need is in Bigjoe's Super Everything thread.

It's a stock ROM with the T989 T-Mobile modem installed. They may have entered the APN settings for Wind manually.

So, if I were to upgrade to ICS, would I
a) just apply a random rom on this?
b) reset phone to factory settings and then upgrade to ICS?
Thanks
