You will have to read. There are a bunch in that stock ROMs link.
Do you mean that My firmware version can be updated to ICS Android version?

Provided your phone is model i9100, and not i9100G, (check for your model number on the label under the battery) you can use any firmware from that link, including any 4.0.3 version. Instructions are in post 1.
If you have an i9100G, then you should look in the i9100G Development subforum for firmwares.
Firmwares and kernels are not compatible between the two models.

I linked you to a guide. I suggest you read it since the answers to your questions are in it. Sorry, I don't see the point of me re-typing stuff that's already in something I linked you to.

Hi guys i recently updated my Gs2 through kies to the Ics firmware but i really don't like it much and i wanted to flash back the Gingerbread 2.3.5 that was on the phone before but all links that i have found so far with the firmware and kernel seem to be down so can someone provide me with new links?. Thanks in advance.

The link for SAM (Peru) in Intratech's official firmware thread is not multiload, and works.
Alternatively, you can probably find any firmware you want on samfirmware.com, or checkfus.
Does the type of firmware really matter? or will getting the Peru one make a difference in the phone, my phone uses the TTT version so i wanted to get that back, my apologies if i just asked a noobish question but this is my first time at this sort of thing. and also the Sam (peru) link isn't working either.

I honestly don't know what difference there is. Probably just the CSCs, (Country Specific Codes) which may or may not matter for you. Will probably make it so Kies doesn't recognize your phone for update. If you don't use Kies, it probably won't matter. But if you want the TTT version specifically, then, again:

EDIT: sorry, the link on Intratech's thread used to work. I guess it doesn't anymore. However, again, see above quote for alternatives.
Ok i found one on Samfirmware, will try it out, and thanks for the help so far.

It seems you are confused. Or are you just struggling to read english? What one do you see that is rooted?
The ones you have been directed to (stickied at the top of the General section, linked above by pier10) are the same one, (but are hosted on different download sites) and it is NOT rooted, but both pages have instructions on how to root if you want. If you don't want root, just ignore the rooting instructions.
As far as Kies, it will update only if you are still on an official stock Samsung firmware, with the correct CSC for your country. If you haven't flashed any firmwares yourself yet, this is a good bet. But you will have to wait until Samsung updates their servers for your region to say your phone is eligible for an update.

Okay, you carrier doesn't have an update for you yet.
If you want to update, it has to be manually (Odin/mobile odin).
Go to the general section and read information posts, there's a lot of information about flashing, versions (both stock or customs), rooting and a whole lot of useful stuff.
You need to learn a bit, so you won't harm your device, hence, harm yourself
Exactly, there are enough posts and guides in the General section
But as a hint: Most firmwares flashable via Odin only contain one file which has to be put in the pda field in odin
You can choose the firmware for your country on sammobile.com..

Well firstly a little tip, do not use idiotic generic titles like "need help". Topic titles are supposed to be descriptive of topic content so that people browsing forum get an idea of content.
Second, I would HIGHLY recommend you go and do some reading because you obviously haven't. There are plenty of guides and topics that already answer your questions. Spoon feeding is not allowed.
I also recommend watching the video that you're shown when signing up..

HI,
I have recently bought Samsung galaxy S2 from Ebay. It is original Samsung galaxy S2. Surprisingly i got a note from the seller that i cannot upgrade the OS.
The current version info :
==================
Modul No: GT-I9100
Android version : 2.3.4
Baseband version : 9100XXKG1
Kernal Version :2.6.35.7-I9100XXKG1-CL349526 [email protected]#2
Build Number : GINGERBREAD.XXKG1
I tried using Kies software to upgrade my OS. But this software does not list any new firmware for upgrade.
So i don't know how to upgrade to the latest OS.
Also if there are any problem during up-gradation will i be able to revert back to old firmware.
Sincere thanks
Hey bro! Did u try to install it via odin?

Hi there guys. I just wanna help my sis to ask about the s3 firmwares question.
Well, she got an S3 GT-I9300T from Bangkok, and I noticed that I9300 already has official android 4.3 firmware while I9300T doesn't have it yet, so can I flash a I9300 android 4.3 firmware on her I9300T through Odin ?
Thank you for replying this thread and help me out. Appreciate it.

Does this help you?, read this and the next few posts. The only diff between the 9300 and 9300T is the T version picks up the 850Mhz networks other than that they are the same. Thats what I came to after alot of research when I first choose to root it. There is a topic here on xda that also says so.
Try a google search and you will find heaps of results of people flashing 9300 firmware onto the 9300t

Thanks for the information, it's really helpful. :good: Anyway, are you using the I9300T too ?
So does 850mhz networks are better than the normal s3 ? Or it is worse ?
I think I will not risk to flash the firmwares, but I'll try t flash some custom ROMs into it.
Thank you. :laugh:
Yes I have it, If you are indoubt its usually best not to do it until you are sure.
No it depends on what tech your telco has used to built their networks and we have no choice in it
