Mind you im not a newbie because i was very active in the forums of my.previous phone so i know about odin and cwm. I am just wondering where to obtain the firmware and how to update my phone.

This isn't authentic by any means. The Bangladesh firmware is modified to an Indian one
I'm not too happy with LPQ firmware anyways.. Reverted back to gb la4 firmware..
Thanx guys for the replies.
I mean the KIES version?
Anyone has that?

Hello Mr.impatient
Indian official ICS will be released this week in Kies.So just wait 1-2 more days.
I will not comment about that Indian ICS which is already here in some thread.
Indian official ICS release will not come through OTA.
It will be only through Kies.

I am just a little skeptic about using Odin (scared rather). And now that I'm on 2.3.6, zergRush exploit doesn't work due to which I'm unable to root. Hence waiting for the update through Kies.

I'm on the Ressurection Remix Rom by westcrip. Quite stable and way better than dear old TW thats rolled out with the ICS update from samsung.

Odin is safer than Kies in my opinion.
You can TRY the "memory crash" method when using zergRush. Just open a ton of apps and exit using the Home button instead of Back to fill up as much memory as possible (at least over 500 mb used), then use zergRush.
I don't know if it will work for you or not, but it's worth a shot.
If not, just flash a kernel that roots for you, like CF-Root or Siyah.
How the hell does it matter when you get the update.
Its the same Samsung ****!
Id say stay on GB or use CM9!
But then again thats what i think.

Stock 4.0.4 when it will be available in india.

Anyone know when will be stock ics 4.0.4 will be available in india?Still waiting,fed up of wifi issue.
You can always try the available stock 4.0.4 floating around. It is the same one way or the other

Yes, you can downgrade to a Gingerbread stock rom from the ICS rom you're currently running.
You can download GB stock roms from Samfirmware.com or AndroidFirmwares.Net.

Done downgrade my phone. Now my phone running android 2.3.6. Im very now and thanks whose those helped me in this process. So what a good kernel for my phone now?
Sent from my GT-P6200 using xda premium
Glad you got it sorted
I always liked using Siyah on GB roms. But one thing you need to watch out for - make sure you flash a Gingerbread kernel now you're running GB stock. If you flash an ICS or JB kernel, your phone won't boot (doubt you'd brick it outright, but stranger things have happened here).
As long as you do that, you'll be fine Have a look in the development sections of the board & you should be able to find threads with GB kernels that work with stock.

Im in quite the pickle.

So basically I updated my galaxy s2 t989 to jellybean so I would get the upgraded radio so I could install custom roms. After upgrading through Samsung kies I tried again and got stuck in a collaterals recovery boot loop. I restored to a previous backup before I upgraded but the problem is I am back on 4.0.4 but It kept the 4.1.2 radio. So now kies says my firmware is not compatible to upgrade. Is this common or am I totally screwed?

Although I do not personally own an S2 the common method is finding a radio version at 4.0.4 and flashing that. Finding it will be the difficult part. Ask around and see if one of your buddies (XDA is your buddy ) has a copy that they can lend you.

As I said. I don't own any Samsung devices so I can't help you there. Basic andoiud help is finding a raido and flashing it through a recovery, CWM or otherwise.
