4.0.4 is the latest Android ICS update Samsung rolled out for the GS2. Formally, it will not change anything on your mobile. But, it is recommended to update to the latest OS version - enhances security and bug fixes (wifi etc).
on the top of all, it doesn;t brick anything. In case, you can backup all apps and data before updating your device.

There's a sticky thread in General Forum for this

If you have stock kernel and 403 firmware you can upgrade UK / Ireland unbranded version to the latest official 404 through Kies if not you can downlaod from Sammobile here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9100&pcode=XEU&os=1&type=1#firmware
Try connecting through Kies if you are on a fully stock version and you will get the same details as the upgrade so you can tell if its official, a rooted phone will still show the upgrade provided you do have the generic stock firmware and kernel
Currently there is no CWM root for this update though as Chainfire is on vacation so that will not be available until he is back and has time to do it.

i have roted this 4.0.3 ...and can i put this on my s2???

Yes, you can. It is using CM kernel so it don't have the superbrick bug.

List will show latest firmware .
Kies will only update if the phone provider has updated for your phone not because other users have later version or their is a later stock rom or you have not followed the upgrade path .

Only leaked Sammy 4.0.4 kernels have eMMC_CAP_ERASE enabled.
4.0.3 not. Also custom kernels are safe (except CF-Root for 4.0.4).

You are right.
So use stock 4.0.4 with no wipe or completely omit 4.0.4 until new update without bug.

Hi, I just wanna be sure. I currently have:
4.0.3
Baseband: I9100UHLPG
Kernel: 3.0.15-i9100xxlpq-cl223505 [email protected] #3
Build Number: IML74K.UHLPQ
I'm not sure whether my Kernel is 4.0.3 or 4.0.4? Can you please let me know?
Also, what if I'll do a factory reset on the phone itself (doing it the normal way) Settings>Backup and Reset? will it have the same effect as doing a wipe via CWM? Thank you.
You are on 4.0.3 then whats the problem? Dude? ^^
Peace

Yes,why do u want to create one more thread for this ma8
Reading your other threads,I think you need to make your mind up what you want.
If you are not capable of determining between 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 firmware,then post your firmware and Ill post a link for you to click on........lol
Well erm im pretty confused myself... I wanted to install the 4.0.3 firmware.so i went to sammobile.i downloaded 4.0.3 buft when i flashed it,i it came up as 4.0.4 and im so confused because on other threads they say 4.0.4 has a hardbrick bug. So now i want firmware version 4.0.3
So what i want is 4.0.3, but my current firmware is 4.0.4. How to i downgrade it?

-odin
-correct Samsung USB drivers

hey dude, if u have siyah kernel and if u flash stock ICS 4.0.3 firmware thro ODIN then the siyah kernel will be replaced with the stock 4.0.3 firmwares kernel and ur phone will be unrooted
Oh.. Okay. Thanks. Btw is aroma installer with the siyah kernel or it has to be downloaded separately?
Isnt aroma installer included in a rom.If so,what do you want it for if your using stock rom.
If your thinking of using a custom rom,then why are you bothering changing to 4.0.3 stock.
Using like the siyah kernel on here you will not be affected by the brickbug as the cap erase is disabled.
This is why you need to make your mind up as youll end up in trouble.
hi whenever i start up my phone when i flashed 4.0.3, it will say android.process.acore has stopped and leaves my phone unusable. what do i do now?
oh nevermind i fixed it. Thanks for all your great help! im on revolt JB now
I thought Im the only one who's been fooled by sammobile. I got the same situation..
I've downloaded all (as attached) and I flashed my device with this ROM; I9100DXLPF_I9100OLBLPF_XME, from sammobile.
It says 4.0.3, but turns out after flashing it, actually is 4.0.4 (About Phone properties).
Im not 100% sure. Is it safe for me to do this steps?
1) With Odin, I flash other official rom from sammobile (I9100DXLPB_I9100OLBLPA_XME or I9100DXLP9_I9100OLBLP9_XME).
2) If the flashing process successful, let the phone reboot (and I don't go into stock recovery to ANY wipe!!!)
3) I just continue use it since data is still intact.
Please warn me if any one of my methods above is dangerous..

[Q] Still Stuck On 4.0.3 ? :(

Did you flash correct ROM for Pakistan using sammobile? Go to sammobile and I check what's the latest for Pakistan 4.0.4 or 4.0.3. As far as I know India got 4.0.4 about a month and half back, so there should have been an update for Pak.
4.1.2 update hasn't been decided and even after it starts rolling, we guys will be one of the last to get updates.

Interesting - 'cause you said "there is nothing there", which seems to contradict that you knew.
But anyways - JPKJ2 appears to be for the Middle East region. So if you care about having Middle Eastern languages, then stick to one from that region.
Otherwise, as long as your phone model is I9100, then it shouldn't matter what region the firmware comes from, as long as it is specifically for an I9100. Just make sure you don't use an I9100G firmware. Though, I have heard of people having issues with firmwares for the China region. I can't speak on that personally though, as I've never tried one.
