Don't see there any for 9100P.
vinspire, are you sure about the model? Also do you have UK Vodafone SIM?
This is what I see for 9100P: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9100P&pcode=0&os=1&type=1#firmware

Why not use KIES? I used it, and its perfect for me.

The shipped Modem with the firmware version JPKJ2 for SGS2, for all the middle east countries is XWKI4
I have tested XWKE7 also which gives more speed on data than KI4
XWLPB is the latest one released with with the firmware for Bahrain, you can test this one too

Need to know how to upgrade to ICS from Gingerbread. i'm Illiterate please help me :(

hello xdapeople,
i have a samsung galaxy s2 running gingerbread 2.3.3 and ...
1) i'm rooted and the build number is GINGERBREAD.XWKF3
2) Kernel version is 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555 [email protected] #2
3) Baseband version is I9100DDKE4
now i want to upgrade to ics firmware BUT...
i CANNOT get OTA updates and KIES says my device "doesnt support" upgrading via it. The only option left now if doing it via the "Odin" software method... and i NEED TO KNOW what firmware am i supposed to download and what am i supposed to do because there is stuff like "I9100XXLPQ" and many other equivalents ... but i dunno if i should download that and do the update ... is there any "I9100DDKE4" or "KF3 (XXX)" [shows on KIES beside "CSC"] available ?
nothing seems to workout for me.....can you please lemme know step wise how am i supposed to go about this...?
i really appreciate the time and effort
thank you.
You can go to www.sammobile.com and download a stock firmware and flash through Odin, or you can root and gain access to all of the custom roms.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Thank you for your response BUT ...
Hey kilometers4, thanks for the reply BUT ...
can you tell me WHICH stock firmware to download ? i mean what do i type in the search box ?
"I19100XWKF3" or "I900DDKE4" i'm getting none.
i'm from india and i am not able to get the OTA/KIES updates and im still stuck on GB 2.3.3.
just one question - which stock firmware should i select ??
PS - i dont use the phone to CALL/TEXT, i mean i dont use any carrier etc ... just use it for multimedia purposes ..
Basically any you want as long as it is for your phone model.

How u installed the update?
Throught Odin, right... So u used a "orange"based firmware...
So just search for a "normal" one (f.ex. here) and flash it in same way...
That should fix ur problem
CHEERS
UPDATE: Sorry first link was to branded firwmares

Choose which version u want...
I would recommend to use the latest one of 4.0.4 u can find.
The 4.1 is already Jelly Bean but not as stable as the other ones....
I saw it's now with actual firmwares....
So load the firmwares from sammobile
(Search =i9100 then u got a list, sort by date)
CHEERS
well, thank you so much!! really appreciate it ... will do it and tell you if it works or not
same thing!!! locked and request a code could someone please help?

this one :
I9100XWLPT_I9100XXLQ6_I9100XEULPA_XEU
here's the info from the post :
I9100XWLPT Download (Thanks To SamMobile!)
Base Firmware: I9100XWLPT (4.0.4)
Region: Europe
Country United Kingdom / Ireland
Carrier: Unbranded
Build Date: 27 July 2012
Modem: XXLQ6
CSC: XEULPA
Change List: 941023
Separate Kernel: Download (.TAR)
Separate Modem: Download (.TAR)
and the phone has the orange logo on back...after installing this rom i think the phone is locked!! and even if i use galaxy s unlock it doesn't work
but why the phone was working on the 2.x firmware? was it unlocked with galaxy s unlock? does galaxy s unlock work only on old Firmwares?
and now what's the solution? is there a custom rom to install? something to do after installing the rom? or do i have to reinstall 2.x and unlock it with galaxy s unlock? will this work?
First get a micro sd card. Plug it into your computer and download a stable rom into the micro sd. Make sure you leave it as a zip file. Go to your phone's recovery and select the new rom.
Best of luck,

See if Spockys Galaxsim unlock works.I cant be arsed checking if it wirks on gb or ics or what,but you can.
Its only O2 phones or unbranded ones that are unlocked by default.

This has become a huge problem for me too.
I've used the i9100 for a year. At the beginning unlocked it, and tried hundreds of ROMS (CM,MIUI...), and never had a problem with Network Lock.
Before selling it(ebay), I updated it to 4.0.4(unbranded) and send it. BAM! The buyer told me it had a Simlock... Uh :silly:??? I told him not to worry, and bought an IMEI Unlock code for him. He said didn't work, I couldn't believe it, but it is so.
Now I have again my SGS2 here, with the symptoms:
- Compilation LPW
- Network Locked
- Galaxy_S Unlock by Helroz does not work.
- Chainfire's method finds the same Unlock Code that I bought for 9€. But they don't work!:crying:
I will flash a 4.0.3 ROM and see what I can do.
Let u know.
Cheers.

2.3.X KE2

NOTHING. Still asking for the code, and if I instert it, it replies unsuccesful.
WTF has Samsung done to this FW???
I am downloading 4.0.4 LQ2 (Nov. 20129) and hope 4 something.

Hi:
What brand of phone do you have? Do you have the original box and papers that came with the phone? Really you should always know this information BEFORE you even touch anything on your phone and always make and keep a record of it. The original Samsung phone box should have the specific numbers you are looking for, this would be a good starting place. Another thing you should have done before modding your firmware would have been to go to settings>about phone to find and keep a record of the Model number, version number etc.Then you could have compared those identifers with files found in Sam Mobile and come up with the Stock ROM. Do you know what country the phone's firmware was meant to be used in? You'll need to provide more specific information so that others could be more helpful to you.

Same here i dont know if your phone was branded or not .
Why not download one of each .
Or find exact same supplier of the phone that you bought from .
IMEI does not indicate branding though it may give a clue as to the phone vendor .

I have all the original papers but i cant seem to find the numbers i have the original box, the phone is from vodafone germany i dont know if it was branded or not so thats is also a problem
