Just download a JB kernel(speedmod for JB), flash it via odin, and download neatrom/wanamlite and there you go.Happy New Year.

Dear Friends
i am first timer on this site and i just bought sgs2 and want to root it
check the below note(i have the latest update XE8 for india already installed when i bought phone)
I got sgs2 two days back from technovision hyderabad
this phone already has KE8 firmware that means this is the latest update till now…correct me if i am wrong
PDA:XWKE8
PHONE: DDKE2
CSCDKE2
So i assume i dont need to flash it using above method.
But i need to root my device for custom roms
How can i root this sgs2 and which version i should use for SuperOneClick version 1.9.5 or 1.5.5 and which insecure kernal i should use
If you can provide a link to both of the above files and a quick tut that will be very nice of you
Thanks

usual reason for that is one readers dont know what you are asking
two readers dont have the answer .
three its a repetition of the same question and the poster is to lazy to search or read .
Take your pick .

Hi,
I purchased Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 from US. Now I am in India and my friends have updated their S2 to ICS but whenever I am conecting my phone via Kies it says that latest software is installed on my phone.
Details are:
PDA: I9100UHKI2
Phone: I9100UHKI1
CSC: I9100UUBKI2
Android Version - 2.3.4
Build Number - GINGERBREAD.UHKI2
Please senior member help me.
I don't want to root my phone.
Thanks in advance.
I dont think either you will send your phone back to US for any Waranty purpose or you will get an USA phone waranty in India, then what you are waiting for??
root your phone with Custom Kernel+CWM and install a ICS rom from CWM,
or flash the ICS rom from ODIN manually.
Root + CWM : http://download.chainfire.eu/40/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_CE_XEN_KI2-v4.2-CWM4.zip
official thread and Guides for flashing : CF-root link in my signature
Dude, if you really want ICS on your phone- Root It ! Because if Kies says that there are no updates available, you cannot help with it. Go ahead read one of the guides, and flash an ICS firmware via Odin- it does the trick. Even i was afraid of rooting my phone and flashing it- i thought it was dangerous. But dude, trust me- i was wrong. It has absolutely nil chances of something going wrong with your phone if you follow the instructions. If you root your phone , you can even get better things like Custom ROMs and other stuff which is absolutely brilliant and which you can show-off to your friends! Trust me , i've been through this. I was facing the same problem when all my friends on Galaxy Note got ICS, and i didn't. All i did was rooted my phone and put an awesome custom MIUI ROM on it. Now i shut their mouths hahah
So, go ahead- start HERE Just read everything carefully, make up your mind, and i'm sure you wont have any troubles rooting your phone. BEST OF LUCK!
Please press the thanks button at the end of this post if you found it useful !
Cheers!

As ZACQ8 says you wont have a warranty with it but rooting is up to you.
Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Download Odin, then download the latest 403 version from post 3 for your phone and flash it, then boot the phone do a factory reset and your good to go with stock ICS.
The latest India version is XWLPF just download teh CSC under that heading to flash.

Could you please let me know from where I can download below file which was mentioned in your link (flash via ODIN)
Just download the firmware version you want from the second or third posts and extract the .tar or .tar.md5 file in the archive and save it somewhere
Also do I need to take any backup before performing these steps?
The FAQ tells you everything.
Backup your SMS and Call Logs using Ritesh Sahu's amazing apps SMS backup and restore / Call Log backup and Restore. - Remember to email the XML to yourself as well!!
Sync your memo's and contacts with Google.
Since you're not rooted, you cant backup specific apps or anything as such - so you will need to download them again from the Play Store (My Apps -> All Apps)
Backup all your SD card contents just in case as well.
Good luck!

if you wan't to upgrade you don't need to unroot, just flash firmware trough odin (addicted to your country)
also to unroot just flash with oding (stock firmware) and wipe data/factory reset and done,
threads are everywhere in general just look around

Since this topic is started might aswell use it instead of making a new one...so my question is:
From what I've read, in order to install CM7.2 on a Galaxy S2, you also need to install a custom kernel...so if I did all that, and want revert back to my original ROM and kernel, I just flash a stock ROM from Sammobile? Or the Kernel will remain the custom one (if so, how do I change it back to the stock one)?

Nope your kernel won't be left until you flash a Rom which has no kernel, but all Samsung roms out there have kernels inside the flashable tar or zip, you ain't smart if you don't provide a kernel which is made specially for the Rom

Firmware for India you can find on http://samfirmware.com.
As the first thing i'm sorry to ask an apparently easy problem, search in google you can find a lot of guide to do this but i often had the problem with the links to download, for example i found a lot of references for links with file removed or bloked
So the problem is that i lost my old back up with the original rom (gingerbread 2.3.3), where can i download it?
thanks for help

go to sammobile.com in firmware section and download according to your country firmware
Use Odin and download everything you have said users above me.
Of course, the backup will not be able to recover if you lost, but you can always go back (even the obsolete 2.3 Gingerbread)

You don't have to download from samfirmware which hosts using hotfile.com (which has been shut down as you've found). Look on AndroidFirmwares.net or Samsung-Updates.com, hopefully you can find a live link for the firmware you need.
