[Q] My first Galaxy S2 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, guys!
I just got myself a rooted Galaxy S2 and I wanted to get some tips and help
It´s rooted according to "Rootchecker"
My firmware:
Android 4.0.3
Baseband I9100XXLPQ
*version 3.0.15-I9100XWLPD-CL524746
How do I go about finding the official 4.1.2? I would like it to be pre-rooted. Is the versionnumber important?
I have tried KIES and OTA but it doesn´t find any updates... KIES tells me my handset is not supported.. :-/
Thanx for all help

Please have a (quick) search for the official JB-version, it isn't hard to find. Flash it with Odin, there are plenty of guides for it. However it won't be pre-rooted.

Yep, some devices still dont have an OTA for Jellybean. Just flash a 4.1.2 ROM in the developer thread for your GS2 and you are good to go. Always read before you flashing something.

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.

Of course, please try to just search because there are several guides to tell you how. But why not upgrade to official 4.0.4?

Ofcourse there is. Just flash a 2.3.x rom
Sure but WHY would you wanna go back to Gingerbread?! You can just root your phone and install CyanogenMod 7.1 or a similar 2.3.4 based ROM although I really can't understand why you'd wanna do that.

You may flash any country's stock ROM. It doesn't matter. However, make sure that the ROM isn't branded. That's all. To get the roms, go to www.sammobile.com, sign up for free, and enter your phone details. Choose any country, e.g. any European unbranded firmware.

Well, ICS is significantly better than GB. Google did an amazing job. Stock ICS looks gorgeous, is very responsive and more functional.

Mate....you REALLY need to do some searching and reading before you touch your phone.
You ask for 4.2.2 firmware.....it doesn't exist....4.1.2 firmware is the newest.
You can get newer versions of android in custom ROMs.....but....
SEARCH READ UNDERSTAND LEARN......THEN AND ONLY THEN...DO......
some search suggestions.....
emmc brickbug
Odin flashing
kernel
Rooting
Firmware
custom ROM
Knowledge will help to prevent you from turning your S2 into an expensive paperweight. It's no good providing links unless you know/understand what you're doing......

What is it that you don't get?

First update your system to 4.1.2 .
Then after update for root alone you should take a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2116549
Download it and install zip through stock recovery (power+vol up+home when booting)
Search. Guides/tutorials stickied near the top of the General section. If you're having trouble with this, I recommend you leave your phone stock. This is the most often asked question here & has been answered tens of thousands of times, your situation is not unique & doesn't warrant this info being regurgitated for the Nth time especially for you.

Maybe you shouldn't ignore the posts you didn't like because they told you to search and read by yourself.

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.
