Are you familiar with odin? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922461
I would suggest you flash Apolo kernel https://www.wuala.com/pedestre/Kern...N (just CWM & light version)?key=IZz8nJ7ajpFQ OP thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291756 and then try a stock based rom ie: Neatrom or Wannam
Hope this helps

im just wanting stock as im gonna sell it.
Just go to the Odin thread,read that and get the program.Then go to sammobile,join then fill in the 4 boxes to get the suitable firmware meant for your phone.
Have a look at a guide about say updating from GB to JB,so you know when to factory reset/script clean to avoid any conflicts,and remove sensitive data.....since your selling it.

Everything should be there, just download the latest one. Do make sure to do a factory reset in stock recovery after you have flashed the Jelly Bean ROM via Odin :good:

Hi everyone, i've just received my new Samsung galaxy s2 phone. I'm not sure what tutorial to follow and where to get the correct I9100PBVKI3 file from.
Could anyone help me ASAP pls!

Why don't you flash an international stock rom with Odin? Take a look at the intratech thread...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA premium app
thanks hugh. I've just realised that since my s2 has NFC feature on it, it may not work once flashed....any idea which roms will work and how to do this?
I'm not sure but this is the 1st time i saw an i9100P so flashing international stock rom may brick that like i9100G users did.. I'm not sure and lets wait for more answers.. better safe than sorry..

Do you simply want to root the phone in which case use the zergrush option on superoneclick 2.3?
the need to flash an insecure kernel is only required if you want to add CWM which is mainly used for two purposes nandroid backups and simpler flashing of roms. Though I also find the fix permissions useful
the main thing for now is that i want to root, although a custom fw would be great too. What i don't want to do is brick the phone.
Also i heard that if i root it, the warranty is void, there i need to buy some sort of usb to reset a counter????
If you root your phone and then you need the warranty, you have only to flash a stock rom and to reset the flash Odin counter with the jig(even if I think this is not strictly necessary)... But I think it's more useful to have
a rooted phone because you can solve many problems with your hands... In fact Samsung uses Odin to solve a lot of problem... After root make a backup of your rom, wipe data, cache partition and dalvik cache and install a custom rom...CheckROM is great!

Anyway if you root the phone with super oneclick using zergrush, you can then install cwm using ROM manager from the market flash whatever the hell you want without the need for Odin or increasing the ROM counter

Thanks very much guys. I've now managed to install checkrom 2.3.6 and darkknight theme. But its not working as i still get the same style layout as my original orange/samsung rom and everything looks the same, such as dialer, notification icons etc. But when i go into ABOUT PHONE, i can see:-
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version i9100xxki4
Kernel Ver: [email protected] #90
Build Number: CheckROM RevoHD V4
What have i done wrong?
Nothing! CheckROM is special because it seems as a stock ROM... But you can personalize it using kitchen pro app... There are themes, modems, kernels, mods and whatever you want... You only have to mark something for installation and to hit apply... But when you want to change theme you have to use the restore package (for example: stock theme, miuimix theme, restore theme package, other theme)... If you want to change kernel,I suggest you to wipe cache partition and dalvik cache before flashing...
Hope this helps!

thanks hugh....the problem is i can't find this kitchen app as its not in my applications, yet its supposed to be installed as standard :S
Try to download it from the rom thread and see if it works...

Hey guys!
I just bought a used Galaxy S2 I9100 and I love it!
It's the "factory international" unlocked one.
Even had to buy a wall adaptor for the European plug to work in Canada.
I would like to update it and trust me, I do search, but it's ever confusing!
The previous owner already rooted it, but I would just like to unroot it and go to official latest firmware. Starting fresh.
I visited this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and I know I have to get my downloads from there and flash with odin, but I have NO IDEA which one to download.
Here's my phone info currently:
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: I9100XWKE1
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513
[email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWKE7
I live in Canada and I'm using Rogers as my carrier (they don't carry the I9100).
I absolute love this phone so far but I would just like to get to the latest firmware.
Can anybody point me to the firmware I want to get?
Thanks folks, and have a happy holiday!

I'd look for the baseband version associated with bell since they do sell the i9100. They use the same baseband frequencies as Rogers.
kernels are interchangeable. Always backup your current ROM before upgrading for sure just in case. I've even gone as far as trying different modem firmware to try and improve signal strength and data speeds.
As long as you have a backup of what currently works you can't go wrong really
oops...didn't read the part about unrooting. I've never gone back to un root before but I think you can flash an unrooted kernel through Odin. Sorry I can't be of more help add to which one.
I'd still look for stock Bell firmware

So far everything seems okay.
I noticed that the Voice Talk app crashes now after I say a command.
I also got rid of that yellow half screen problem!
I think my phone is unrooted now because I didn't see a yellow triangle at boot, but the thing that's weird is I still have the superusr app and in my Kernel version it says "root".
Do you recommend me reflash my phone to Bell firmware?
If I do so, wouldn't I get all the Bell branded bloatware stuff on my phone or no?

If your rooted then I am assuming you know how to work Odin and I would just do a search on here or google for the right modem and flash with Odin.

The baseband is the modem. You are on gingerbread, so flash any of the gingerbread modems in the area I mentioned.

Hi there,
- Have you tried to get to the Download mode ?
- Have you a JIG ?
- If so, just use ODIN to flash a proper stock ROM.
Yes, pick the laest official ROM from here for ODIN flash : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487

Why did you use a method from outside of XDA? When you posted here, I responded with google searches that would have only returned results from XDA. The first result for the root search (for me, anyway) should have been the root method for ICS that didn't involve flashing anything with Odin.
