Greets,
I have just purchased an Samsung Galaxy SII LTE Docomo Japanese version SC-03D.
I updated something from Samsung using Kies, Android Version 2.3.6; gingerbread.OMLG5
Baseband; SC03DOMLG5
Kernel: 2.6.35.11-SC03DOMLG5-CL1168027 [email protected] #2
This is all the info from Settings>About
I used the following One Step Rooters to no avail--didn't work.
1 DoomLord v4
Gingerbreak 1.20
Z4
SuperOneClick 2.3.3
Anyone have similar issues? Could use a hint. I don't have home based Internet available so cannot download ABD super duper SDK. Anyone have short cut version of getting into and gaining root?

Hello,
I'm having a Samsung Galaxy s2 (GT-I9100) and I'm from India. Here, the latest android version as released by samsung is 2.3.3. And there are no updates whatsoever ! I want to update my android version. Is there any ofiicial samsung android release for sgs2 ? (2.3.4 or 2.3.5) ? I do not want to use install modded version of android ...
Thanks in advance ... !!
What have you tried so far? KIES or in the about update menu from within the phone? They're difference processes (funny, right? lol).
Try it via KIES.
I'm in England, I've also not yet rooted my S2 (although I probably will, to get rid of the bloatware crap- i.e. Game Hub etc)
We've only got a 2.3.4 official firmware available here. Sometimes this is up to your service provider to release it.
Your other option is to root, and flash an official firmware.
Or take a giant leap and read the INDIAN thread .

@smilingcruel: Thanks for your reply and I did check the link there. There are loads of them. Which one to install ?
Same question, different country:
I have to revert my S2 to Samsung (annoying echo).
Currently it is on Miui.
I'd like to flash the latest Vodafone Germany version to preserve the secondary binary counter.
Does anybody know whether THIS is the latest and via Kies available version?
If it is not which is the right and latest one?
Hello everyone,
I recently got an upgrade though T-Mobile (in UK) for a Samsung Galaxy S2. Its simply awesome, but I'm a newbie to the Android OS. Hence I have very less knowledge as to what is happening with the android OS rooting, updating etc.
So on to the main topic, I got my phone (model GT-I9100) on 2.3.5 and the base band is I9100BOKJ1.
I would like to remove the T-Mobile branding and the other software which there installed have it.
So could someone please guide me though how I could root and update my firmware to Standard samsung with out the carriers crap installed and still use the phone with my carrier?
My phone is unlocked by default as another sim card works from another carrier.
Could someone walk me through step by step as to how i could root and update my firmware to standard and unlock the device Any help is much appreciated.
I have attached a screen shots of my x#1234#
Thanks.

Hey guys,
I'm a real noob at roms, rooting etc but i followed a tutorial on Youtube which lead me to root my phone using Odin and Superoneclick. I have no idea what this did as i didn't notice a difference on my phone but now ICS is released for my Galaxy SII which is TmobileUk branded. However, when i check on Kies, it says New Firmware Is Available but when i click Firmware Upgrade button then nothing happens. When I click Firmware upgrade and initialization under tools i get the error GT-I9100 does not support initialising. When reading on forums i found out this is because of me rooting so i searched on how to unroot Galaxy S2 but everything comes up with Unroot and installing Stock Kernal etc but i am not sure if i have installed a kernal but i can remember i put XWKDD file in ODIN.
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: I9100BOKF1
Kernal Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.BOKF3
and i have no MOD VERSION which i fugured is for a rom.
When typing *#1234# i get these versions:
PDA: I9100BOKF3
PHONE: I9100BOKF1
CSC: I9100TMUKF1
I have read some posts and found UK Tmobile have BOKF3 etc from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
but i do not know what todo with it.
Also i just installed an app called Ginger Unroot which has unrooted my phone so if i need to root or do anything can you explain please and will any of the steps wipe my phone (apps, data etc)
I really need this help
Thanks in advance
RE
Im real desperate
What most people do one they root their phones is install ROMs based off of the official release. It's like getting the release, and guaranteeing root access. I think that's a better way. You have more freedom. Otherwise, you can upgrade and pray that Samsung doesn't release something that breaks your rooting capabilities. Check the forums for a ROM based off if the official OTA update and install that. If you have a custom recovery installed, (Which you should have if you rooted correctly) add far as I know, the update won't work.

RE
Hey there thanks for replying Can i find out if i have a custom rom or kernal as i dont know but i did unroot by an app called Ginger Unroot and checked with basic root checker which confirmed that i no longer have root access but the error still comes up. So if an OTA Update is released, then can I download that?
Hello Guys,
can some one please help me in rooting the phone and installing ICS resurruction remix or to the latest version applicable...
I looked up on the Internet and there is so much information where I am getting confused, can some one give me a hand in finding the correct update applicable.
Current version/About Phone:-
Model NUmber:- GT-I9100
Android Version:- 4.0.3
Baseband version I9100XXLP1
Kernel Version:- 3.0.15-I9100XXLP1-CL57619 [email protected] #3
Build number:- ICS.XXLP2
one of my friend did the update without complete knowledge, my phone was not even rooted, I had 2.3.3 Version (intial version when I bought the phone a year ago)
Current problems - I cannot get 3G signal (data network doesn't turn on)
Let me know If any further informaiton is required.
Thanks a lot in advance
Root your phone with CF-root Kernel (CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LP1-v5.2-CWM5.zip)
download from the link in my signature and flash as per the guide on the thread,
then install your favorite ROM from CWM,
if the 3g issue is a software diffect, it will be solved by flashing new ROM,
otherwise service center....
