My Galaxy S2 I9100 is from Singapore and has the baseband version : I9100DXLP9
But i can't seem or rather can't find the way to upgrade to 4.0.4 as most of the custom roms require the ICS 4.0.4. Any help?
If you want to upgrade to ICS, first go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ and search for a GT-i9100 firmware. Then, learn how to use Odin (do a search around here) to flash the firmware onto your phone
I'm already on 4.0.3 ICS. Rooted with CF kernel. But most roms require 4.0.4 like cyanogen mod. I can't find any firmware for LP9 for the 4.0.4
If you want to use CM9, flash the Resurrection Edition in Odin, then flash Gapps & the latest CM9 nightly. All the instructions are on the first page of the CM9 discussion thread. I suggest you read the first page very carefully & follow the instructions to the letter.
Is there a way for me to upgrade the firmware to 4.0.4? I can't seem to find the firmware version for I9100DXLP9. Or possible to upgrade via flashing a 4.0.4 custom rom?
You seem to be asking how to upgrade to the official Samsung 4.0.4. Well, there isn't one. And you wouldn't need to in order to install a custom ROM that is 4.0.4.
Ahh right right.. thanks for clearing it up. So i'm on a 4.0.3 rooted all i have to do is flash CM9 Resurrection and upgrade to the nightly build from there?
That's what was just said. And that's why I didn't even mention Android version numbers in my post. Because they're irrelevant.

Just brought an Att SGH 777 sgs2 and after hours upon hours of research, rooted my phone and installed unnamed ROM. My question is under ABout phone, you will see the KERNEL which is fine, that changes, but under android version it says 2.3.4.
From my understanding there is 2.3.6 so how do I change this? Does 2.3.6 come within the kernel I installed or ROM? Or do I have to dl the official 2.3.6 first then ROOT again and install the rom afterwards.
Your firmware is still 2.3.4 until you flash the latest leak (KK6). I wouldn't worry about flashing the leaks until ATT releases them officially due to random problems that every leak has in them.
ROM and firmware go hand in hand. It you flash the leaked 2.3.6 and then flash unnamed 1.3.2 or lower you are effectively flashing 2.3.4 back on. Until the rom dev builds a new rom from the newer firmware you are on the same firmware you were before.

Hello guys,
I'm a new "rooter" and my English isn't really good. I think it's because I'm from Germany, not from the US or the UK^^. Atleast it isn't as good as I could find the answer to my question (I bet this sentence is wrong xD).
My problem is, that I want to use the Pure ICS Custom ROM from Spike. Until now, I only get Version 4.0 running on my Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 for which you need XXLP1/XXLP2. I want to run PURE ICS v7.2 oder v7.3. For v7.2 I need to get the Stock ROM of XWLP4 and for v7.3 I need to get the XWLP8 running. I tried many installation guides, but I just can't get those Stock ROMs running.
What are the requieremts to get XWLP4, XWLP7, XWLP8 (stock) running?
Thank you!
No requirements except to have a i9100 not G model and to follow the instructions .
Instructions in this post .

jje
I dont have the G model.
So that mean, i can flash every firmware I want? And the carrer doesn't matter?
Because i have problems installing XXLPQ, LP4 and XWLP7 etc. I always get a bootloop and theres no way to get into recovery mode. I just get the firmwares XXLP1 and XXLP2 running. the XXLP1/2 ROMs are 4 parts (PIT, PDA, PHONE, CSC) and the other i tried are only 1 part, the DPA part. is this the problem?
There is an LP7 rom which is euro wide - just means you cant use KIES to update and you lose your carriers branded material.
I loaded the LP7 onto my UK phone and it worked perfectly - just remember to wipe your data first - this could be the problem of the bootloops.
There is also the cfkernal link to get root and cwm on your phone.
Good luck in your search for the correct answer.

Hello I Bought a SGSII With Andoid GB 2.3.4 I Want To Install This Fw:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854 and this kernel:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1555259
How to do please?I must Update to ICS Or not? and did Siyah Kernel replace CMW(I was on Galaxy Mini)
Help me please
The answers to your questions are in the threads you linked to, I.E follow whatever specific instructions the rom/kernel you want to flash has.
Siyah has it's own version of CWM & this will overwrite the current version you're using (that's if you're using a kernel that has CWM before you flash Siyah, obviously).
Read those two threads very carefully, all the info you need is there.
Hey All.
I rooted my phone previously using method one from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794 and installed clockwork mod using this: http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-r...ckworkmod-recovery-on-rooted-galaxy-s2-i9100/
My phone's carrier is Optus and I am currently running Android 4.0.4 with baseband version I9I00XXLQ6 and build number IMM76D.XWLPW
I'm wanting to update my firmware to Android 4.1 .. can anyone point me in the right direction of some instructions which will enable me to do this with my current phone versions?
Thanks
I have recently flashed Jellybam onto my S2... (4.1.2)
Other than I cant find google talk on the latest version, its works perfectly.
The instructions are pretty clear once you have your phone rooted with Clockworkmod. It only takes a small number of steps and a couple of minutes.
This is the thread for the ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903162
and it points you to this site

I'm no expert (not by a long way!) but shout if you have any questions and if I can help you out, I will!
cheers,
Paul.

Just download the rom you want from dev section, place on sdcard and flash via CWM same as you would any other rom.
Though I have posted here many years ago, please treat me as a newbie now. I am not allowed to post on the developers threads since I have not been active here for a long time.
I have a Samasung Galaxy S2 w/ Android 2.3.4. I would like to add Cf-Root so that I can manually upgrade to the newest available version of Android.
1. My kernel version is 2.6.35.7-I9100 XXKH3-CL479037.
I see there are two KH versions of Cf-Root:
"XX_OXA_KH3: Untested (by me) (thx to robbielicious for the stock kernel)
XX_XEU_KH4: Tested"
Which one is better for my phone? Is there any advantage in using the KH4 which was tested by the maker, over the exact match KH3, not tested?
2. Could you please provide a link (to a reliable download site) for the latest android version? The sites that were in the original post appears to have been shut down.

You don't need to root to upgrade to the latest version mate (if you're talking about the latest stock JB firmware). You can simply download the firmware from www.sammobile.com or www.samsung-updates.com, and then flash it using Odin.

the advantage of using KH4 is that its already tested and proven wrk'ng. U can always visit WWW.SAMMOBILE.COM for the latest available android version for ur S2.
I believe sammobile.com should be left out. Because most of their firmwares are on hotfile. From what I know, hotfile is currently facing some issues.
Instead try out androidfirmwares.net for now.

immortaineo, Thank you.
I did install Odin, and then ended up adding Cf-Root. I like the CWM back up that came with it.
Now I am going to get from samsung-updates.com 4.1.2 TPA region (matching my current 2.3.4 region). I understand the procedure to update to the new version using Odin. But I have read somewhere that "an Android Jelly Bean Kernel must be flashed before installing any other Android Jelly Bean ROM".
A. Is the above about having to update the kernel first true? If so, from where do I get the Android Jelly Bean Kernel?
B. When I update the ROM, (assuming I can update from my current cf-root kernel) will the Kernel get modified, or I will continue to have my current CF-Root modified kernel?
C. Can I go straight to 4.3 Rom update, skipping the update to 4.1.2?
You should be reading a lot more before fladhing anything,as you dont yet know the basics.Youll end up in the soup.
Have a quick look through some of the custom roms,as the developer tells you what you need to be on/to do.You only need to read the 1st couple of posts.
Have you done efs/nand backups yet lol.....
You've got things all confused and complicated mate. Let me clear things up with these simple rules:
1. Flashing a stock rom using Odin doesn't require root. Also, it will replace your current kernel (and recovery) with a new one. It wouls also unroot your device.
2. Installing or updating a custom ROM will replace your current kernel (and recovery) with the one included in the ROM. Since most custom ROMs are rooted, root will not be lost.
3. You can flash any compatible stock rom via Odin or custom ROM via CWM irrespective of your current ROM (as long as you do a proper full wipe). Some custom ROMs may require newer versions of CWM though.
Now.. answers to ur questions:
A. That is not true for flashing stock rom via odin.
B. Your kernel will be replaced by the one in the ROM.
C. Yes, you can. Make sure to do a full wipe and follow any other instructions given by the ROM'S dev.
