Hi, my friend wants to update his sgs2 gingerbread 2.3 to the latest ICS version. The problem is that his phone is branded to the carrie PERSONAL, and i was thinking if he could update to a unbranded ics rom or i have to update to the branded version

flashing stock ics firmware ( branded or unbranded) does not require root ma8
root is required only when u want to run some Root access apps or if u want to install a Custom Rom or kernel to ur phone

It's not yet out - best you can do for now is put the WORLD Generic on and then switch to UK when it comes out..
I got SGA with S5830BUKA7 Vodafone provider firmware. I went to samfirmware to get Gingerbread FW to update it and got confused with the following:
First check your firmware via our SamFIT and make sure you always use firmware files from your own region to prevent problems.
Does that means that I can only use S5830BUKC2 which is the latest FW from Vodafone?? Can i flash this phone with S5830XXKPH??
I am sorry if there is already an answer to this question in the forums, but i couldn't find it.
Thx in advance.
I flashed using KPH FW and it works

If root neccessary then can be possibe with mobile odin .
Or Any other way to do this.
What are the disadvantage of change of other region rom?
How can do I this Please tell me.
