Hi guys... tried searching hi and low for the right answer, but didn't get one definitive enough. Bare with me, I have a Galaxy Nexus, but am helping out my wife here who has an i9100M.
First off, I'm well aware of how to use ODIN and the like (as I previously owned the original SGS), so I don't need help with that.
Now.. on to business:
The stock firmware for the i9100m via KIES is 4.0.3. I've noticed that this firmware causes the phone to freeze up at times and she's telling me she didn't experience that under Gingerbread.
So I know there are a whole slew of stock 4.0.4 firmwares out there, unbranded UK's and the like. Just wondering, based on your experiences, which PDA, PHONE, CSC combination for a 4.0.4. rom works best with the i9100m?
I'm aware that I will lose the 'm' designation... not too concerned about that... just want this phone to be smooth as it once was without the lockups but maintaining ICS. Hopefully 4.0.4 actually eliminates that.
Again, I'd prefer the stock firmwares if thats an option.
Thanks guys.

You need to read this first about ICS 4.0.4 stock firmware
Thanks, but I'm guessing that had to do with people flashing a new .pit which I never do.... Unless I'm wrong.
Personally I find stock roms not as smooth as custom roms.
If you're willing to try out custom roms, I'll recommend RootBox. Very stable and smooth.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696419
EDIT: Sorry, just realized you were looking for stock firmware. I have a i9100m as well, used XXLPJ to restore my phone when I got stuck in a boot-loop. Didn't really play with stock rom that much, went straight back to custom roms and flashed XXLQ5 modem. I'm with Rogers btw.
Ya I know Stock Roms usually aren't as smooth.. I just find the Stock Firmware, with the Stock recovery, the safest.... And seeing as I don't want my wife yelling at me.. I'd rather it have a stock experience without the lockup/freeze she is now constantly experiencing.

Read that Warning thread I posted to you earlier. Read everything there, it's very important. The only way to stay 100% safe is by flashing a custom kernel.
From what I read, flashing a stock or insecure stock kernal (to root) is the only safe way. Especially in that Nordic firmware thread you mentioned.
Either way, going to try it the insecure kernal root. If it bombs, it still has warranty.
Well as suggested in this thread (thank you) I have installed the latest Nordic ROM (I9100XWLPX) and so far things are fantastic.
I ran the 'Have Brickbug?' app and my wife's phone does show the warning, but ran it anyway... even went as far as clearing cache and wiping in the stock recovery after install just to see if there would be an issue and there wasn't.
I haven't rooted the phone.... yet.... and I may not have to... afterall, its my wife's phone and she doesn't use it the way I use my Nexus. That might change in the future, but with this UNBRANDED ROM, there is no real bloatware, and most of the things I don't want can be disabled anyway.
Time will tell if there are any issues... but thus far no freezes or lockups.
KIES did screw up the back up of her memo's and settings which she is slightly peeved about (wouldn't restore them), but oh well.
Thanks for all the suggestions and help.
Question though... If official Jellybean comes out for the Nordic region, will this 'frankenstein phone' receive an update via KIES? I don't plan on using the OTA update.

I haven't been able to post in there as I am a new user, but if someone can help me with this, it would be great.
I'm trying to upgrade my firmware to XXKH3 - Android 2.3.4.
My current version is:
PDA: I91000XWKE7
PHONE: I9100XXKE4
CSC: I9100OPSKE4
My Galaxy S II is rooted and it's on the OPTUS network in Australia.
My question is, how should I go about it?
Do I download the XXKH3 Stock Kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/C4DRUIJTLL and place that in PDA and PHONE in Odin?
And for CSC do I get this: Optus OPSKG1 CSC: http://www.multiupload.com/EPWZTIMS1F and place it in CSC?
I want to be able to use the OPTUS network on XXKH3, but without OPTUS bloatware. I'm just not sure which files to get so I can be with OPTUS on an Australian firmware if that makes any sense.
My last question is, would this then wipe my data? Or not?
I appreciate any help on this.

you are referring to the right thread. clear instructions are given on that thread.
choose the PDA option.
CSC has nothing to do with what languages the firmware supports and it will not add keyboard language support either.
You don't have to change the kernel or root or unroot to flash a new stock firmware.
You can then flash the kernel of your choice.
If you want the CF-root KH3 kernel. refer this thread
If you want to flash stock KH3 kernel you can also do that.
as far as operator bloatware is concerned search for operator specific bloatware removal scripts which can be executed using Gscript app . or a simpler option would be to freeze or uninstall the bloatware apps using Titanium back up Pro.
Thank you for the fast reply.
So pretty much all I need to do is put the XXKH3 Stock Kernel in the PDA option and that's it. So the OPTUS network will not be affected correct?
Then root it and I'm done?
Thanks again!

Hm. I just put XXKH3 Stock Kernel in PDA and flashed it but my phone still says Android 2.3.3. I used the CF-root KH3 kernel as well to root it again.
What do I need to do to get it to Android 2.3.4? Do I have to place it in PHONE as well?
The ROM is 2.3.4, just about any ROM in original development is. What you are trying to flash is kernel. Best of luck.

Er, Kernel is kernel and firmware is firmware. Flashing the kernel won't update the firmware, just the kernel.
Alright I think I understand now.
Downloading the package, which should do it and I guess the stock kernel is used to root/rid yourself of the yellow triangle.

After you flash that (if you want to root the phone) go to this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 and get CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KH3-v4.1-CWM4.zip. Put that in PDA and flash it.

ok so lets say I chose new stock firmware to avoid the triangle,then later wanted to be official,could i plug my phone into kies and updatd to official 2.3.4 without problems?

Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Guys,
Recently ditched my Desire HD which I've had alot of fun with for (what I considered to be) a far superior phone but basically got a little fed up with the display after catching a glimps of the SGS2's screen, haven't had the HD on since!
Although I considered myself adapt at flashing and rooting, I have to admit to finding myself a little confused here as to what exactly I can do with my phone. Yep, I've searched, nope, I don't want flamed, just need a few things cleared up then I'm off to have some fun!
Details from my phone...
PDA: I9100XWKF3
PHONE: I9100XXKH3
CSC: I9100CPWKD1
I'm rooted using CF matched Kernel and have remained on that, does no harm as far as i'm aware except for yellow triangle at boot..
I'd like to go from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 too and wondering about what to flash and what would fit, my CSC is Carphone Warehouse would that be correct? How important is it to match CSC?
Regards Baseband, doesn't really matter does it but no harm in trying modems is there?
And firmware, thought about Frankenstein XXKF3 or 4 or am I getting things totally wrong? Think it's the WK to XX and not sure what impact that'll have.
And on that note, does the firmware version stiplulate which ROM I can load? So if i go to 2.3.4 (XXKH3 or 4) am I then limited to flashing only XXKH3 or 4 ROM's? Does it matter what I flash over my phone? I've also read that some ROM's contain Kernels and may have to flash a stock kernel after flashing the ROM to match firmware or even re-root?
Actually the more I read back on that, appears I know nothing at all and that's not even funny! Even went back to the original SGS forums in the hope that I'd find what I need there.
I know that unless I move back to stock (which I am at the moment), Kies wont off the eventual 2.3.4 update but to be honest I'm not fussed as developers and cooks here do a much better job and that's experience from my HD days.
I have flashed MIUI as that's the ROM I used longest on the HD, loved it but quickly went back the more I satrted to read and to be honest, would prefer to stay stock for a while and get used to the phone, is that do-able with a flash from the developers forum?
So does the ROM have to match the firmware I'm currently using, can I upgrade to 2.3.4 firmware, choose a kernel of my choice and any rom?
Obviously not picking something up, hopefully someone has the answer I need without the links to pages read allready, want to start having some fun and soon!
Cheers!

no your not limited to flashing any rom, you can mix and match arounding to your needs and preferences.
after rooting they reflash the kernal to get rid of the yellow triangle, there is a tuturial for that chainfire's rooting thread, 2nd post.

Click to expand...

no the rom does not match the firmware, yes you can upgrade to 2.3.4.
yes you choose the kernal and rom that you prefer.
All roms contain a kernel .
CSC is not really required as long as you enter the settings for your network manually but stick to cwm or xeu for UK ..
CSC are not upgraded and are often much older than the rom version .
KH3 probably the best current modem .
Rom is the whole firmware kernel modem OS etc .
You can have a KF2 firmware and swap kernel to KH2 and modem to KG2 in theory and it will work most of the time for varying combinations .
USB jif is better than flashing kernel to remove warning triangle as it also resets rom counter to zero
Me >>Cognition 1.51 rom based on KH3 and i have KG2 modem and no CSC .
Kernels have swapped just the kernel about four times on this and swapped and tried every rom on here .
Rom backed up using Nandroid via CWM recovery and apps backed up using Titanium pro .
Even a failed boot is usually recoverable with ease on SGS2 .

Well I've googled quite a few key words to see if I could get the answers to my questions and I haven't found too much yet. I have a Bell Galaxy SII that's rooted 2.3.3 Android version. I ended up flashing my kernel long ago as well which gives me the yellow triangle now I don't care about that but i want to make my phone like it was when it came out of the box. I have the original firmware and kernel. What im confused about is there is Odin to flash this and that and then there's dumping the files on your phone and using Clockwordmod. what's the difference? which should I use and what do I flash first? the original Kernel then firmware? or other way around? or does it matter? youtube is nice and all but it shows customs unroots for branded S2's not mine which is Bell im having issues with my tethering disconnecting me from my computer so I think it's best if I revert back to factory since all I do is make phone calls and tether.

To install the new "official" ICS through Kies what are the steps?
If i do install the ICS will i loose the root and the apps?
1: you need to flash the official stock version for your region/carrier
2: flashing ics will stock will remove root and your apps will get deleted if you wipe which you will for better working phone.
3: you can always flash using odin which is faster and as official as kies

You're on a custom ROM. So to get the update through Kies, you will have to flash back to a completely stock firmware that has the appropriate CSC for your region. Sounds like for you that would be the latest Optus branded stock firmware for Australia. It's around several places... search for it.
OR... you could just flash the official ICS yourself through Odin. Clearly you've flashed a firmware before, as you're on Lite'ning ROM.

Any stock firmware update, either through Kies or Odin, will cause a loss of root. But not necessarily the apps. Those should stay - UNLESS if you install yourself via Odin, you happen to download a firmware package that is a wipe package. But it's recommended you do a full wipe when upgrading major versions anyways.
Thanks for your replies

I'd stick with XWLP7 from what I've heard there's no significant difference on LPM.
Only if you wipe via CWM mate, stock should be fine.
