ICS 4.03 is safe. Do not update it to 4.04 official rom. You can easily root your phone and install CWM recovery. Then flash a custom 4.0.4 ROM or whatever you like. For a start i suggest this rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824586

I'm lost, I9100p or I900p?
If it's I900p, what phone is that?
If it's I9100p flash any I9100 ROM / kernel.
If you don't wanna lose NFC, there's a couple of threads with a NFC enabler laying around here somewhere.
i guess it's about a i9100p
don't think a i900p exist....he wouldn't be posting here
and yes - any kernel would do the job (as gastonw says)

This is the jelly bean ERA, gingerbread is long gone.
Unzip that and you'll get a single file containing Code, CSC & modem.

thanks again for taking the time to help!

What do you mean with 'my version'? Just install the rom. If you're looking for instructions, please search for yourself because there is definitly no need to ask because the answers are already here on xda.

You can always search this forum for 'stock jb firmwares' like I did, and your questions would have been answered already!
The official jb update for india has not yet been released. But you can dowload firmwares from other regions (available in this forum or at sammobile.com) and flash using Odin..
AFAIK Superbrick bug only affects phones running leaked firmwares, like some 4.0.4 firmwares. If you're updating to an official firmware, there is little chance of being affected by this bug..
Sent from my SGS II
Actully the eMMc brick bug is only on 4.0.4 stock kernel and is only triggered by backup, restore, flash etc in stack Recovery. Bottom line, you don't ave to worry.
And you are flashing via Odin so there isn't any chance of bricking your phone by the brickbug.
