Hello,
I don't really know what do I search for in matter of too many things around and I'm not a android freak to get used to all of this. I know, I know, there are plenty of threads saying "use search" but it doesn't give me a fine results.
So, if someone feels good with helping people instead of complaining I'm looking for latest possible stock firmware (I think firmware, not kernel or ROM?) to downgrade my freshly bought i9100. It has ICS on board but I'm sure it drains battery more than GB. On other hand I'm used to GB because I also have Galaxy Ace running GB 2.3.6
What I need is Gingerbread 2.3.6 (latest released) for Poland or Europe (with Polish Language included).
Samfirmware/AndroidFirmwares.net or SamsungUpdates.com (pretty sure they all link back to Samfirmware's files @ Hotfile).

I have a few questions sorry if its a repost but id rather make sure I get a good answer to those questions then any other variant of them.
I got a galaxy s2 a week ago and I feel like the battery life is really bad and the phone heats alot sometimes.... (BTW this is my first smartphone EVER) I was wondering which one of all these custom ROMs out there is the best for the galaxy s2? Which one will give me the smoothest experience with a good battery life and fix that heating problem?
Also, I have the Canadian bell's version so MUGKG2... When I look at ROMs all I see is XXKH3 or XXKE7, etc... Basically how and what version do I have to use/install to get a custom ROM? (P.S I know how Odin works and I know how to root since my phone is already rooted)
And what is the latest Android version possible to get on the galaxy s2? I heard something about 4.0 but I think the latest version possible to install is the 2.3.4 am I right? Also, every ROM is 2.3.4 right? Or do I have to flash a 2.3.4 (or 4.0 depending on the latest version) kernel on the phone?
Thanks for your time and have a good day!!!!!!!

Hello guys,
I'm a new "rooter" and my English isn't really good. I think it's because I'm from Germany, not from the US or the UK^^. Atleast it isn't as good as I could find the answer to my question (I bet this sentence is wrong xD).
My problem is, that I want to use the Pure ICS Custom ROM from Spike. Until now, I only get Version 4.0 running on my Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 for which you need XXLP1/XXLP2. I want to run PURE ICS v7.2 oder v7.3. For v7.2 I need to get the Stock ROM of XWLP4 and for v7.3 I need to get the XWLP8 running. I tried many installation guides, but I just can't get those Stock ROMs running.
What are the requieremts to get XWLP4, XWLP7, XWLP8 (stock) running?
Thank you!
No requirements except to have a i9100 not G model and to follow the instructions .
Instructions in this post .
Stock Roms .and csc

I dont have the G model.
So that mean, i can flash every firmware I want? And the carrer doesn't matter?
Because i have problems installing XXLPQ, LP4 and XWLP7 etc. I always get a bootloop and theres no way to get into recovery mode. I just get the firmwares XXLP1 and XXLP2 running. the XXLP1/2 ROMs are 4 parts (PIT, PDA, PHONE, CSC) and the other i tried are only 1 part, the DPA part. is this the problem?
There is an LP7 rom which is euro wide - just means you cant use KIES to update and you lose your carriers branded material.
I loaded the LP7 onto my UK phone and it worked perfectly - just remember to wipe your data first - this could be the problem of the bootloops.
There is also the cfkernal link to get root and cwm on your phone.
Good luck in your search for the correct answer.

I have literally switched between 14-15 Roms,the one stood out for me is Resurection rom builds,great work by the Dev and it really is the best ICS experience,so go ahead flash the latest version it's stable and has the best battery flow,im using v1.4 though =D
This is yet again another "Lack of Support" finding for a SGS2 phone, particularly the Model Phones that belong to the SHW-M250x family. I have an SHW-M250K model from Olleh KT of Korea, and due to its coding, it creates a boot-loop when trying to root with an GT-I9100 secure rooting kernel. I have tried using Odin, polled cyanogene, CF-Root, SuperOneClick; the lot seems to deal with only the International Variety coded GT-I9100.
The main differences that i have found is the language support, length of SMS messages, the use of an external antenna for a built-in TV tuner, and NFC support in the battery when paired with a USIM containing an NFC Ident. So Samsung blew up the SE Asia model with some nice features but unfortunately, not with the rooters/devs in mind.
My question is, is anyone currently working on SHW-M250x family rootkit? I'm about to go the route of starting to load Zipped ROMs to the SD card, because from reading on here, it seems like you do not need to obtain root access to be able to flash a rom, provided it is done in 3e mode from your properly formatted SD card. But if there is a root available to SHW-M250x family users, i would definitely be delighted to know.
Thanks,

Samsung Galaxy S II - SHW-M250K (Olleh) - Android ICS 4.0.3
Now, i did take a look at this thread (before i get flamed)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794
But noted that again, it quoted use with the I9100 variety and even says with MOST ICS phones.
TBH, both phones look darn near the same and it is hard to tell the difference unless you pull out the antenna. I will give it a shot when i get off work. But I'm still worried about whether my USIM got fried or something. Phone has picked it up ONCE since i upgraded to ICS stock. I wasn't rooted before.
Thanks,

Looks like the root from CWM that you install on a SDCard worked. I will log any issues as i dink around with my phone.
I know one already, after rooting, ICS 4.0.3 Airplane Mode Quick Button when you hold down the power button is good for turning it on, not for turning it off.
More to come.

Ok so after rooting SHW-M250K, tried flashing kernel with Siyah and got stopped at the Flash Screen. So Siyah (for now) does not work as a kernel. So far, root proves possible with at least this model. More to come.

So after a lot of trying and failing i decided to go back to gingerbread...however i have been under the impression that no one cared enough about the Korean version to capture the Stock rom for GGB 2.3.6.
LEAVE IT TO THE RUSSIANS.:laugh:
After tiring searching the googlenet, i found a site (in russian) that has the SHW-M250x family stock GGB roms.
I will not post the link yet, because i'm downloading the rom right now to try it out. Hopefully i do not have my hopes up for nothing.

Hi there. I currently bought a korean version ofthe s2, but it is not rooted yet.
Can you please show me the link, how you rooted your s2 shw-m250k?
I have also found a site that has the leaked jb ota update but one of the primary requirements is that I have to be on ics. My phone is still on gb. Please help thanks.
I need some help from the pros. I would like update my stock P7500 (currently running 3.2) to either a working ICS (and yes by working I mean fixed battery drain) or to a stable fully functional custom rom. I saw a post about a fix to the battery drain but if I saw correctly it was to be installed from a recovery mode, and I have no idea what that is. I have flashed my samsung devices with Odin and I need files that are ment to be installed with Odin.
Is there a working fixed ICS version to be downloaded and I am open to all suggestions installing a custom. As long as it has all the camera and other functions.
And naturally I need a version that has the nordic Finnish language. Thank you very much for the help.
I had ICS for a week but the battery drain bug made me go grazy.
I think your thread would be better in Q/A Forum. This has nothing to do with development.
If you dont know how to flash a recovery, or root your device, or flash a custom ROM, read!! Here are so many threads that gives you the help that you need. Read first before you ask. The most custom ROMs where flashed by recovery. Only the recovery himselve as tar.md5 (pershoot ones) and stock FWs where flashed via Odin.
Sorry but that post was sooo confusing. And yes, there are thousands of posts about custom roms, and that my friend is the problem. I need someone to tell me, which solution is the easiest for me.
I guess it would be easiest to install fixed ICS with finnish language, ifnthere is one I would be supper happy for the link. Sammobile is full of versions and I really don't have a clue which is the correct one. Especially with fixed battery drain.
Icould find the official update from samsmobile, Latest firmware info
GT-P7500 Galaxy Tab 10.1 PDA: P7500XWLP6 CSC: P7500OXXLP5 Added: 2012-10-20
But is there one that has the battery drain fix integrated?
The only FW which has no DS Probs is the chinese FW. But its only in chinese and english. So you could try to flash the FW from this thread. Its the FW from Czech Republic, but i mean its multilingual. Im not sure. You can flash it easy with Odin.
Hello, I am the owner of SGSII and I kept playing with it until now, I have installed 10 custom rom's!
The point is, I want to try Gingerbread (CM7) but do not know how to make the install on it.
Currently using 4.1.2 (NeatROM) and I want to know some steps exactly how to get back to 2.3.6 from 4.1.2, if you can possibly give me a link to me where to download a firmware (2.3.6 ) I looked on the net but Romania (Cosmote) I found nothing or rather I did not know what to take and how to take.
Not to jump from one to another I want to root it and during it! I mean I have briefly (CW + Firmware + Root) i want to test some roms that are based on CM7 or stock 2.3.6.
If I can help people I'd be very grateful.
Thanks in advance.
Anyone something ?
Do not bump threads after 6 hrs. Once after 24 hrs only. This isn't your personal tech support hotline.
Besides, this is basic stuff; if Samfirmware, AndroidFirmwares.net or Samsung-Updates.com don't have the stock rom in question, you're out of luck. Choose another.
Once you're back to GB & how to install CM7, read the CM7 thread & follow the instructions, again basic stuff. Obviously you'll need to root your phone again first, root methods for GB are easily found by searching like everything else you've asked.
