Thanks for the reply guys, appreciate it... :good: But what i really want to know is, what's the nearest version i can get to upgrade based from my current phone infos now? Also, what's the nearest kernel i can use? I was told that i can not just upgrade it to another version, and that's confusing me. Thanks in advance again guys... :good:

What do you mean by nearest version?
And you can very well upgrade to any version you like 4.0 or even 4.1 and also revert back if you are not happy...
The process is same for any version you want to upgrade to...

Hi, have followed your advise, have another question.
Based from my phone info below, can i upgrade it to ICS PDA: I9100DXLP7 and CSC: I9100OLBLP7 from another country. I think XW is not from our region that's why i can't upgrade it via KIES. Now, if i want to upgrade it, i'll use PDA: I9100DXLP7 and CSC: I9100OLBLP7 which is from our region. Can you advise me on this? Thanks in advance...

Hey guys,
I am stupid. I bought my international version i9100 on ebay. I dont know what it is from. After I root it, I lost the kernel. Now, I want to restore everything including the rom, the kernel to factory. What should I do?
Flash a Stock ROM via Odin to reset the phone.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it matters where the phone is from as long as you use Odin. If it for any reason wouldn't work you could always reflash it.

As stated above, it shouldn't really matter. On the other hand, if you really want the one for your country you could go to settings -> About phone -> scroll to the bottom...
write model number , android version, baseband version, kernel version and build number here to the forum, and I'll try my best to tell you which one you need

gr4ndm4st3r_bl4ck, I am a little confused. My phone is on android 2.3.4 now and I am looking to update it to 2.3.6, but kies keeps telling me there is no update for my phone. If I can flash a rom from any country, can I just grab a 2.3.6 rom for a country, say Brazil, and flash that rom?
In case you need it, these are the information I can get.

Yes if it does not work flash another one .
CSC and or MODEM can be changed as a separate item .
You flash the country you are in no point flashing China firmware if you are in Spain .

k, you have the UH version of softwrae , UH---> Latin America, The Caribbean
Code:
UHKI2
Firmware info
PDA:UHKI2
PHONE: UHKI1
Date: 05/09/2011
Android 2.3.4
VNO (Venezeula):http://www.multiupload.com/PPOL25QMPX
TPA (Panama):http://www.multiupload.com/7XDK219V1W
TTT (Trinidad and Tobago):http://www.multiupload.com/GCKN3DOB13

That's the latest UH firmware in Intratech's thread ( 2.3.4 only ), if you want the entire ROM use one of the first 3 links, or if you want only the stock kernel then use the last link there.
Also, you could just ignore that UH ROM and flash the latest XW one ( Europe Standard ) from here :
Code:
XWKK5
Android 2.3.6
This package has: PDA: XWKK5| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: XEUKH2
Download: http://www.multiupload.com/7FKGH0Y68X
XWKK5 Stock Kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/HK8G4YGXWJ
Password: [email protected]
After flashing it just set the language to your liking and you'll never notice any difference.
For instance, my S2 came with 2.3.4 Serbia CSC ROM and I flashed the XWKK5 one from above and it works perfect , no need to worry
Edit : PS, Kies will never tell you that a new update is ready , because Samsung didn't make it available on Kies yet, that's why we use Odin instead
Happy flashin

Glad you got what you wanted
Keep an eye on intratechs thread. The one you were linked to. He posts all the latest stock original carrier firmware so you won't have to wait a month next time.
If you have the I9100 international version you can use nearly any of the latest firmware even if your carrier hasn't released it yet.

Hi guys,
I'm new here and I had a problem with upgrading my Galaxy SII version.
I dont know how to upgrade it because now there is new version 4.0.3 or more latest..
But mine version 2.3.6.. ;'(
What I know is using Odin or kies but I'm not sure what version I should use to upgrade it
Can someone teach me how to upgrade it.. plzzzz.....
I live in Malaysia
This is my version:
Model: GT-I9100

1) Read the Stickies.
2) Get the PC version of Checkfus & use it to download the latest ICS stock rom for your phone model/country/carrier (assuming one is available). This is firmware you'd normally get via OTA update.
3) Flash the rom package you download with Odin following instructions here.

You can upgrade to ICS 4.0.x if you want. I usually flash stock ROM via Odin, this way is faster than Kies. Why do you try it by your self? it's very interesting when you're complete.

[Q] Which Firmware for downgrading?

A friend of mine wants me to downgrade his I9100 (4.0.4).
Currently it says:
PDA: I9100XWLPW
PHONE: I9100XXLQ6
CSC: I9100DBTLPI
Build number: IMM76D.XWLPW
It is a German DBT phone.
He would like to downgrade to 4.0.3, but I don't know which firmware to take.
I found PDA:I9100XWLPI CSC:I9100DBTLP6
and PDA:I9100XWLP7 CSC:I9100DBTLP5
Does it matter which one I take?
If not, what's the difference?
Thx in advance.

XWLPI is more recent that XWLP7 so it should be more stable.
