I think its KI4 you need.
whats that?
Ive just flashed some ingerbrwad firmware on it now my phone wont boot up past the samsung logo.
i put on i9100uhlpo crclp3 found that on google aparantly GB
LP* looks ICS to me.Do wipes at your own risk, as god knows what youve flashed.
In your previous posts you were told to go to places like sammobile.So have you done that now to identify a proper GB rom for your phone etc.
And I see I wasted my time earlier.....

Im new to all this flashing and messing with mobiles and am a little lost so i need some help. I have a SGS2 running Checkrom V4 which im very happy with i have CWM installed and my rom backed up but i would like to upgrade to ICS. My issue is after doing loads of reading im not sure that its done through recovery and when you do have ICS on your device you don't have CWM so no easy way as far as i can tell to go back to gingerbread. I have odin on my PC that's setup and mobile Odin on the phone i just need someone to give some idiots instructions, what worrys me the most is no recovery. Is it worth waiting for a official ICS to come out that's stable with CWM or some other easy way to change roms, as i understand it some country is due it officially today.
Does someone have a idiot guide they can do for me of a decent stable Rom and how to install it and how the recovery works, i would really appreciate it, as all the threads have multiple parts that need flashing not just a simple rom there's add this and that. That doesn't worry me but i worry about becoming stuck on a ICS rom that's a load of ****, ideally i would like just a standard stock official UK rom that updates itself OTA or is stock with root and CWM but iknow we could be waiting a while for that.
thanks
Stickies...
Those are about the only thing i hdnt read.
cheers
Thanks for reading - I'm a noob.
I came here to learn about rooting devices over 6 months ago and decided to have a go at rooting my SGS 2 to remove the bloatware and speed it up a bit.
Performance has been great - I left the stock firmware because the OS/ROM was not a concern to me. I simply flashed the kernel with CF Root: CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KF4-v4.0-CWM4.tar
Now I am led to understand I would need to flash back to my stock kernel to allow the OTA update for ICS - the only issue is I cannot find any available downloads for I9100TDVKF4 - Telstra's stock kernel.
Now I read somewhere a reply to a similar question was "just flash it with a new rom, I dont know why you want to go to stock" - Well I want to update to the official ICS. I was under the impression that would be available a long time ago and never was. I just want to....
Please can anyone help me to point out where I can find that kernel? perhaps there is a different kernel i could use?!
Is there any ICS firmware I would be able to download and flash to the ROM using Odin whilst keeping my phone rooted?
I found this place really helpful in how to root and now I just hope someone can help me get onto ICS!
Cheers

No only custom rooted firmware .
Try Checkfus for your stock firmware download and flash via Odin .
Dont confuse yourself with kernels without understanding .
ICS on Checkfus or Kies for your phone install otherwise wait until your provider releases .
or flash your original saved firmware that will overwrite root .
jje
Thanks for taking the time to reply mate....
Dont confuse yourself with kernels without understanding - dont worry ive been trying not to but it seems thats the only thing i changed on my phone when i rooted it so i was lead to believe i needed to change that back...
My provider has just released new version of ICS but i cant actually install it once ive downloaded it over the air it only gets to 8% then reboots itself and i believe thats because the phone is rooted...
or flash your original saved firmware that will overwrite root - I dont know if i backed it up correctly on the guide i was using!!! The only thing i backed up was the apps using titanium backup so now i feel im stuck!
Use check fus down loader and get the official ics ROM.
It's under i9100t Australia/telestra
Problem solved.
I just bought a bell galaxy note. It is unlocked and I am using it with a Mobilicity sim. Can someone tell me what would be the best way of upgrading to ICS?
Thanks.
There is a sticky right at the top of this section that will help get you started.

My sig is what I used, look it all up and see if its what you want to do (stock ROM or modded) and PM me for help. I'm a noob to rooting but I can get you started.
Is there any way to get OTA bell ICS update now that I am with Mobilicity?
Is your phone rooted? If not you should receive the update by OTA also. Or if the update is available by using Kies, you can get it that way.
Not sure if you got your answers ...
but I have my Note with ICS and with Jelly Bean OTA ................ and steps seems pretty easy if u READ and PAY ATTENTION and follow them...
here are few things that I did ...
1) download Samsung KIES ( if you have already - make SURE ITS UPDATED)
http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
2) Download and install CWM ( i used the GUI version ... yes am lazy about doing three fingure boot etc ,,,)
3) Download and keep ICS rom of choice (( search and read here , lots and lots of them ..... like kid in candy jar!!)
one I suggest =

The above ( 3) link will show you most resources and things to do
and sit back and ENJOY !! note = Pure amazin in RAW form , and let loose with some of the fancy ROMS
you can spend hours and hours << ah remember the days of Andriod 1.6 and 3am morning still flashing ROMS !!LOL))
Hope this helps
say thanks if it did
I did all of the above. I rooted the phone and then flashed CWM followed by super user. I then chose FJ ICS rom and flashed it as well. However, although everything went well and I was able to boot the phone to ICS 4, I have lost contact with my service provider (mobilicity).
Just so that you know, I bought this unlocked phone which came with Gingerbread and everything was working fine.
I have restored the phone back to the stock ROM but I still cannot see the Mobilicity network.
Can someone tell me what I need to do to get the phone back to its original state?
Hi, and apologies as this is probably the 10,000th post on JB updates. I have searched etc, but just wanted a sanity check to see if I have this right.
As the title says, I have a UK GT-I9300 (BTU) that was rooted in my eagerness when I dumped ios (so used to Jailbreaking, I didnt even think about it). I'll admit I didnt think things through at the time (or read up enough!)
So, I rooted the phone using Odin and CF-Root-SGS3-v6.0, and now JB is upon us. I now know that I can't just use Kies or OTA (unless Ive got it wrong), so I just need to use Odin to flash a download (from one of the various Firmware sites) of the JB update for my particular version ?
If I want it to appear as unmodified, I need to use Triangle Away ?
Have I got this correct, or am I missing a piece of the jigsaw, or do I need a pre-rooted JB ?
Cheers for any help, as I'd rather not stuff this up
If I need to flash the stock rom via odin first, I'll have to find it, as all the links I found are dead now :fingers-crossed:
Hi,I rooted my phone then I installed new ROM but then, I installed Galaxy S2 I9100 JB ROM Which was I9100XXLSJ ROM
when I have Galaxy S2 SGH-i777. I know I'm stupid I didn't read it clearly it just said Galaxy S2 Jellybean
I have factory reset it but it is still the i9100 JB ROM not my old AT&T version
I used Odin3 v1.85 to do all this. I have downloaded several ROMs to see if it worked but when I opened them up it dont work with Odin and they said something about installing with SD card and stuff. I tried and i cant find the program and such.
At this moment I I just want my phone to work again. It don't matter if I use stock version of ICS as long it works again with ATT. because right now. my Back/Search doesn't work and Calling.
Please help, and give good explanations because I'm not very strong in electronics
If your phone will still enter download mode you can still fix it. Look through the stickies(important threads which have been given special status due to their importance and relevance) there are several that explain how to return to stock firmware. You should probably flash a full version of stock including the bootloaders as what you flashed may have contained I9100 bootloaders. But better safe than sorry. I've given you enough information to get started, let us know how it turns out.

Why did you start another thread for this same issue?
