i have this Korean Galaxy S2
few questions to ask the experts ...
1: am i on the latest Stock Korean Firmware ? 2: can i flash any official/stock Firmware of GT-i9100 using Odin ? like using the .pit file then the PDA then the phone and modem ... all together 4 files ? 3: after that ... can i ROOT my phone normally ? i mean like standard procedure ? i mean using Odin or other methods like superoneclick or CWM etc ?
if i flash stock firmware of GT-i9100 via Odin ... and root it ... do i still face that boot loop problem ? and then have to install the original stock korean KERNEL ??
since there is no chance that i would be using my phone in korea .. so is it fine to have a stock firmware of i9100 ??
and after root .. can i install KERNELs of my own choice .. for e.g semaphone , speedmod , galaxian etc etc ???

YES correct for YOUR phone your provider has not updated ask them why .
Can I have the ics on my phone without rooting?!
YES flash stock Samsung rom via Odin from first post general or stock roms post dev section .
Somewhere before i had read that i can change my phone region to other that had ics upgrade, but i don't know how to do it,
To complicated for a noob try spooffw from the market .
and if i do it, the kernel that i have it will going to be change automatically, and the gingerbread will it going to be cyanogen??!
Think you are very confused kernel is part of the firmware cynagon is a custom modification not official .
You would be far better off reading the FAQS and GUIDES and not bricking your phone .

Some questions regarding S2

Hello . First of all , excuse me for my noobish questions but i'm new to samsung and i have some elementary questions which i have not found using the search option.
My current firmware is 2.3.6 and I'm looking forward to flash it to ICS but i don't know which firmware to download . I flashed my friends phone (i9100p) to ICS and it worked but mine had a bootloop so i had to flash it back to my stock firmware (2.3.6) . Can somebody tell me what 4.x firmware is suitable for my phone because i do not know what "XWLP7" or "BVKL1" are.
Phone info:
Baseband Version : I9100BVKL1
Kernel version : 2.6.35.7-I9100BVKL1-CL774645 [email protected]#2
PDA: i9100BVKL1
Phone:I9100BKL1
CSC:i9100ROKL1
Thank you !!
in that case first remove battery and see it says i9100 not i9100G
get lp7 stock (sammobile.com/checkfus/http://skywanker.net/Download/download.aspx (Intratech's))
get odin and learn how to use it
wipe your phone using *2767*3855#
flash using odin
wipe again using same code
signin to you'r gmail and have fun.
follow the aboue post ,hes right and alwayz do a factory reset an then flash ics jus to b clean
