Could someone with a stock rom please grab a screen shot (or just the displayed info) from their Software Information screen? You can find this at:
Home Screen
->Settings
-> All Settings
->About Phone
->Software Information
I'm looking for the Baseband, Kernel, Build and Software Version for the stock ROM.
Thank you in advance!

Does flashing a stock rom replace clockworkmod recovery and revert back to stock recovery?

I don't think there is a best method. I quite often use CF-root kernels, if available. If not available for a device or a firmware I use the method I proposed in my previous post. Just give it a try
root for xxlqb

Root XXLQB Android 4.0.4 on Galaxy S2 I9100 with ODIN
Posted on August 7, 2012
in Android Tips
Translate:
Android 4.0.4 XXLQB was released a few days ago for the Galaxy S2 I9100 and at that moment, it was not possible to root. But XXLQB root is now available with full instructions, thanks to a custom kernel. You can easily root XXLQB Android 4.0.4 ICS on Galaxy S2 I9100 using the tutorial given below. We will use SiyahKernel v4.0.
As you continue reading below, we will guide you through the entire process of how to root the official software update Android 4.0.4 XXLQB ICS on Galaxy S2 I9100 using ODIN. Remember, this tutorial is only for XXLQB Android 4.0.4. Go to Settings > About phone to verify what build you have. Please make sure you backup all your apps and personal data as this tutorial will wipe all your data. Let’s continue with the tutorial below.
Disclaimer: All the tools, mods or ROMs mentioned below belong to their respective owners/developers. We (TeamAndroid.com) or the developers are not to be held responsible if you damage or brick your device. We don’t have you on gun point to try out this tutorial
This root method tutorial is only for the official stock firmware. Custom firmwares are usually pre-rooted but even if you need to root any, flash SiyahKernel using ClockworkMod recovery.
Make sure you have installed all your USB drivers for the Samsung Galaxy S II to connect it with the computer. Download Samsung Galaxy S2 USB drivers! Apart from just the USB drivers, there are a few more things that you need to take care of.
1. You need to enable USB debugging mode. This helps to connect your Android phone with the PC. See here: How to Enable USB Debugging.
2. Your phone battery should be 80-85% charged. If your phone goes off suddenly because of battery, during flashing ROMs or installing mods and updates — your phone might go dead permanently. See here: How to Check Battery Percentage.
3. Backup all your important data that you might need as soon as your flash a new ROM, or make a backup for just in case, you never know when anything might go wrong. See below on how to backup data:
Backup your SMS messages. How? –> How to Backup/Restore SMS Messages.
Backup Contacts, Gmail and Google Data. How? –> Sync with Google Sync.
Backup Call History. How? –> How to Backup Call History.
Backup WhatsApp Messages. How? –> How to Backup/Restore WhatsApp Messages.
Backup APN Settings: GPRS, 3G, MMS Settings.
Data can also be backed up using Samsung KIES for their devices, but if you backup data manually, you get more options what top choose from and it is very easy to move data across Android devices from different manufacturers, i.e moving Samsung Galaxy Note backup data to HTC One X.
4. Your phone should be factory unlocked. Additional instructions for locked Android devices will be added in the tutorial for unlocking devices.
Now, let’s proceed with the tutorial on the next page and root Galaxy S2 I9100 on Android 4.0.4 XXLQB ICS official stock firmware.

If u use siyah kernel on xxlqb 4.0.4
1: u will lose real time camera display (camera works, but u will be clicking blind photos and will need to check what u clicked after ur done)
2; youtube and video player will not display content. (hardware decoder doesnt work,. u can use software decoder as an alternative)
The siyah kernel doesnt support 4.0.4 XXLQB
Need to wait for a patch from the dev team who are now working on kernel releases for galaxy s3...
My dear developers,
Need a help from you.
I upgraded my samsung galaxy s2 GT-I9100 from 2.3.3(which has come with phone) to 4.0.3. At first i had many problems like ünexpectedly services has been stopped", "email services has been changed" etc.... after posting a thread in our forum,i got a reply to do a factory reset. i did that and now it is resolved.
but later i had many issues like
1) Touch screen not responding properly
2) battery drain
3) some unexpected errors.
Here are some the details about the firmware i am using.
Samsung Galaxy S2,
Model Number: GT-I9100
Android Version - 4.0.3
Baseband - I9100XXKPA
KERNAL v- 3.0.15-I9100XXKPA-CL51925 [email protected] #3
Build Number: ICS.XXKPA
So, Can anyone suggest me the right firmware to install for my phone? it will really help me if you would suggest me one.
Just post me the link where i need to download the right firmware.
Thanks in Advance.
Krishna Chaitanya from India.
for me cyanogenmod was the most stable one i ever had.
try and get the latest stable release
The most stable firmware for your S2 (if you purchased it in India) is KL1 which is GB 2.3.6.
Official Indian ICS is LP7 which is 4.0.3 which is buggy so not recommended.
You can go two ways:
1. If your emmc chip is safe (doesn't have the brick bug) , flash the LPX Nordic version. (search the forums to understand what I am talking about)
2. If it is not, and considering you are a beginner install LPG which is 4.0.3 and turn off Auto Updates.
Correct way of flashing a firmware is:
Turn off phone > Factory reset in recovery mode > Reboot while holding the Volume key+Home Key+ Power button> Flash firmware > Do a factory reset via the settings menu and choose to erase USB storage.
Firmwares are in Faryaab's thread of firmwares in the Original Development section.
PS: Please use the Q&A section to ask questions.

im goin with cm 9.1 and everything is stable enough for daily use..
If you're talking about custom roms, it's against the rules to ask for the best, but I would recommend you take a look at rootbox.

Hi guys,
I bought this device from a German online-shop. It's still on stock 2.3.6. Afaik this device is not rootable with superoneclick. I'd love to root it or flash a 4.+-rom, but do not know what roms and/or kernals are compatible. I do not even know if you consider this as a international or Korean device. It's 8GB and does have a physical home button. I use the DAB+-radio quite often and would absolutely not like to lose this option when flashing. Can anyone enlighten me on the options and pro/cons? Thanks in advance!

Go to the first link, follow the instructions there and if all goes well, you'll have a rooted Galaxy Player. Once done, you have to flash cm9 in your Galaxy player before upgrading to 4.3. Click the link, go to page 8, there's a step by step instruction that the ROM Dev wrote for someone who wants to go from 2.3.6 to 4++. And I'm not sure what's a DAB+ radio is but when I flash a custom ROM, the default radio is missing afterwards. Hope that helps.

Superoneclick does not work with firmwareversion 2.3.6. Losing digital radio is the main reason not to flash a firmware that doesn't support this. Is flashing a (rooted) kernal affecting usability?
Hi Guys,
I have an old rooted phone Galaxy S2 SGH-I777 v2.3.4 and would like to update it to the newest version possible. I am a noob when it comes to SmartPhones. Does anyone have a link with a comprehensive guide and a link to a latest stable ROM for this phone?
I've tried searching, but couldn't find any recent posts and a lot of old ones had broken links.
Thank you.
There is so little activity in the forums now that I don't check every day. Sorry for the delay in answering.
The latest stock firmware for this phone is I777UCMD8 which is Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. You can download this firmware from the Download Repository. You'll find it near the bottom of the page.
If you want a stable custom rom based on Samsung touchwiz firmware, the most likely candidates are SHOstock 3 v 4.0, and Cooked. If you have problems with download links, I can probably help.
As far as a guide, I can't suggest anything, but will be happy to guide you if you need it.
