I have a Note II so not really clued up on the S III community. I bought my mother a S III unlocked but their is no OTA JB update available. The Baseband is XXLH1 and the build number XXBLH1. Anyone have any advice how to get it on JB without rooting, maybe by Odin or etc?

Hi guys, I'm looking for the stock ICS firmware for my Virgin Galaxy S2 (i9100/m).
Went into the thread with the collaboration of stock firmware but the downloads have been removed for both bell and virgin. Can someone point me to the right direction for the stock rom? Or any rom that's close to stock?
According to my copy of Checkfus, there is no official/stock ICS for I9100M/Bell Canada. If you're after a copy of Gingerbread firmware for this carrier/country, search Samfirmware.com
The last and likely only firmware for Bell/Virgin/Sasktel GT I9100Ms was UGKG2 (2.3.3), if you want ICS you'd be better served by downloading a european stock or custom ICS ROM as Bell has never expressed any interest in doing further updates for this phone.

As I said here, The Galaxy SII for Virgin Mobile in the US is NOT the i9100 or i9100M. It is the SPH-D710, otherwise known as the Epic 4G Touch. anyone looking for stuff for a Virgin Mobile US Galaxy SII is in the wrong forum.
Hi, my sis is using SGS II GT-I9100G, she wants to update to stock ICS (singapore) firmware. I found this (GT-I9100_XSP_I9100DXLP9_I9100OLBLP9_I9100DXLP9) firmware and im not sure can her phone update to this firmware cos the file name is stated "GT-I9100_XSP" instead of "GT-I9100G. So can anyone help me out here to confirm whether i can just update via odin or not? Or is there any other stock ICS for "GT-I9100G"? Thanks in advance.
GT-I9100G does not has ICS yet
If not sure whether there is a fimrware update available for your phone check SamMobile or use 'Check Fus'.

You cannot. That firmware file is for the I9100, NOT the I9100G.
I9100 and I9100G are not compatible for firmwares and kernels between the two phones due to the different CPU/GPU/SoC.
If you flash a i9100 firmware on a i9100g phone then you will brick your phone, go for a custom rom.
Nevermind
ok, thanks guys...so i guess i have to put on hold without choice...

ICS 4.0.4 firmware is not yet released for 3, Vodafone, and O2 in the UK.
The best bet is to flash 4.0.4 for unbranded UK firmware here: www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9100&pcode=XEU&os=1&type=1#firmware
Or simply stay with your present firmware

Excellent answer!!, just what I was looking for, thanks pal
Hi, my dad has a korean galaxy s 2(model shw-m250k). He wants to have JellyBean, since he has the old gingerbread one. The thing is, can i flash a i9100 jellybean ROM?. I mean the model are different, and i couldnt find a jellybean for shw-m250k model.
Also, are korean phones unlocked?. His device is from the company "Alleh" from south korea, but he can use a sim from personal here, in argentina.
Why not check out the discussion thread for ur device?

Yes it is possible. I have a M250S with i9100 firmware.
Afaik, you need to reboot into download mode and flash a stock JB firmware using odin, along with the .PIT files. That is you check repartition option. But I strongly suggest you ask in the appropriate thread. Messing up a flash when using repartion and pit file will brick your phone. Make sure to have a backup of your efs folder before starting anything.

As @JJEgan said, no link between firmware update and SIMlock.
If the phone is unlock properly (free by default or unlock with samsung codes) you have no chance (zero !) to simlock the device.
If the phone is unlock with a third-part software (like Voodoo Unlocker), an update to jelly bean will relock the phone.
Thanks to all Who Helped Me.
i have successfully updated my s3 to Jb 4.1.2 with Samsung Kies and without any single problem.
