Hey guys,
I'm from Israel and I've decided to ditch my current mobile carrier (Orange/Partner).
I usually prefer to stick to the official stock ROM so, naturally, I plan to flash my GT-I9100 device with the ROM of my soon-to-be carrier (HOT Mobile).
Thing is... The official ROM bears the "GT-I9100T" model and I'm not sure if it will work or it might brick my phone.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

Thanks for replying.
My phone is not locked by my carrier. I purchased it from a private store. It simply has the official carrier ROM installed.
I plan to replace my carrier and install the new carrier's official ROM.
The only problem is that this ROM is intended for the I9100T, while I have the I9100.
I'm just wondering if anything can go wrong while flashing?

There is a slight difference between the 9100 and 9100T. Not in hardware, but software. The specific T modems are generally more tuned to the 850MHz band than others due to different SAR levels.The firmware for i9100T are not compatible with i9100 .

OK. So I should flash my phone using the official ROM and then flash it with a compatible firmware?

Let's start here.
Your profile says "T-Mobile", with a US flag. So are you sure you are an I9100 user? Or do you actually have an SGH-T989, which is the T-Mobile USA variant of Galaxy SII?
FYI, this is the I9100 forum, which is a completely different model of phone than the T-Mobile USA variant.
I'm form poland and i'm in t-mobile. And i'm sure i have SGH-I9100 -.- And i want to make phone stock to kies compatibile with it.

Ah, good, you changed your flag.
Unfortunately, a lot of the links in Intratech's thread are for multiupload, which has been shut down.
However, you should be able to download a stock firmware for Poland from samfirmware.com. Flash that, and you should be good to go.
ok ill try
By the way - I hope you meant "GT-I9100"... as there is no such model as "SGH-I9100".
I downloaded from that site the newest rom for my country and kies says my device isn't operating kies update.

So you flashed an ICS firmware (4.0.3) already. Flash to a 2.3.6 firmware if your want Kies to update it to ICS for you.
ok ill try
So if i have current version (ICS) this is the same as i would update it by kies ?

*sigh*
My point here, was you have to be precise on model numbers.
GT-I9100 is not the same as GT-I9100G, is not the same as GT-I9100P, is not the same as GT-I9100T.
I9100G cannot use the same firmwares as any of the other three.
I9100P can use I9100 firmwares, but will lose NFC if you do (unless you re-enable it via a mod)
I9100T can use I9100 firmwares, but will probably have to flash a modem optimized for Tesltra to get good signal afterwards.
If you start telling people you have an "SGH-I9100", no one will know what you have, or be able to help you.

Can't you use the CheckFUS downloader to get the latest "stock" firmware for your region and model?

Yes to this, most likely
If you have Galaxy S2 I9100 (International Version) you can flash it via ODIN.

First of all: it's 'rooted', not 'rotted'
Some roms come with a new modem, so if you want to change it, you can flash it through Recovery. Some others don't, but you can check it of course in Settings -> About phone.
About your request for a JB rom: even if you're from NZ, you still have to try them for yourself to see which rom perfectly matches your preferences.

Hi guys, i have a doubt about roms.
I am looking for stock rom, official ones, without any alteration. I've been looking a lot and so i found the version 4.0.4 of the AT&T, but there is currently some recent as 4.1.1 and etc. .. ?
Thank you and forgive me for my bad English.

Nope, AT&T has their bloatware in it.

But you can update to that and then use the exynos root exploit app to root it and then just remove bloat. If you wanted.

as you are running liquid smooth, you should probably have a kernel that supports triangle away. open the app and reset the flash counter to 0. then just flash a stock firmware of "your region."

no problem with MG4! it has good stable performance. you may flash MB5 though no problem that's your wish. but be sure you back up your efs before flashing any firmware released after MG4 including itself!

Try to flash any modem of 4.1.2 of other region.
Absolutely do not bump threads on here after one hour. This isn't your personal tech support hotline :-|| Also, get some damn manners.
