Head over there and grab the latest stock. Now it is NA7 for Switzerland. It can be a problem if you are locked to a carrier and your phone is still in warranty, if it brokes and you give them to repair they might say you changed stuff at it.

[Q] Which kernel to flash to install revolt JB rom?

Hi all. I am using the gingerbread speedmod kernel and I am on gingerbread stock rom. What kernels should I use to install the revolt JB rom? Thanks for any help in advance
Basically any ICS kernel. Most of them work with JB. Siyah kernel is a good choice. But when you flash the kernel, you'll have to install that Revolt rom right away since you won't be able to boot Gingerbread on ICS/JB kernel. You'll just get a bootloop.
Sent from my Galaxy S2 GT i9100
So what you mean is that when I am in odin, flash the kernel, immediately go to recovery mode and flash the rom? But I thought after you flash the kernel your phone will reboot and thus go into boot screen? Unless you take out the battery or something
First flash stock 4.0.3 firmware on your phone. Then install siyah. That'll give you custom CWM recovery. And using that you can install your JB ROM.
Any other way and you'll just be stuck with a bootloop. Hopefully you know all about having a nandroid backup, backing up your efs and basics of using Odin having previously installed a custom kernel

You kinda got me at flashing stock firmware and nandroid. How do I flash a stock firmware and do a nandroid backup? I mean I only rooted my phone with a video tutorial so I'm not really that familiar about other stuff...
Thats been done and asked many times over in this forum. Tutorials for all what you've asked are available in the General section. Do have a look at those and search some similar threads. If there's still something you don't understand, you can always ask and people are here to help. But like the rules say, search first mate.

I searched and I found stock firmware with Asia as the region but the country is Malaysia but I live in Singapore. The baseband version is also different. But can it work?
It'll work as long as its the firmware for your device.. ie.you don't flash an i9100G firmware on your i9100 and vice versa. The baseband deals with your signal. That can always be changed at a later stage if necessary.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Oh I understand now. I've searched the forums and found that 4.0.4 ICS which is leaked and may lead to a hard brick. But I can't find any 4.0.3 firmware as it's for i9100G...
Is this the correct thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640812. Sorry if I'm a little paranoid...
Btw my model version is the GT-i9100. And do I download the kernel from the thread above?
Good enough. Download a 4.0.3 firmware from there. In the meantime read up on Odin since you'll need that to install the firmware. There's a huge noobs guide to using Odin somewhere on the forum. And also search for a tool to backup your EFS if you haven't already.
And don't forget to thank the posters. People take time out to help others. Only expect you to hit the thanks button in return :beer:

Firmware (ROM). Not kernel. The firmware is a pretty large download..around 200Mb or more whereas the kernel will barely be 10mb or so. If you only flash the kernel you'll have an ICS kernel and GB ROM. Won't work.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
So do u have to get the kernel from another link? Since the link I showed you is for ICS. So that means any Siyah kernel would be fine as long as it's for my firmware, right?
Is there any chances of bricking of my phone?

No. If you install
the firmware, the kernel comes included in it.
There is just one siyah kernel. Different versions, but its still the same. Download and install the latest version for the S2. ie. v4.1.5 AFTER you're on ICS.

There is always a risk involved. It is minimized to almost near zero levels if you read all the guides and tutorials available on this site carefully. If you're too lazy to do that, then its your fault if you've bricked your device. If there's something you don't understand, use Google. There are instructions/step by step guides/ video walkthroughs/ galore. If everything else fails, ask.
As long as you've not hardbricked your phone with the emmc bug, its almost always recoverable even if bricked. And that's avoidable merely by sticking to 4.0.3.

Search for and download ktool from the play store. Simple one-touch efs backup. Only back up your efs. Nothing else.

If you're talking about the link to the firmwares, its opening for me. Try again maybe. Else go to sammobile.com and search there.
Good luck.

Ok I did a backup of efs(hopefully) when I go to Sammobile.com/firmware I Cound not find any of the firmwares that is 4.0.3. So I tried the link I showed above and it still doesn't open. Unless I use another country?
Yes. If you find your reception isn't good enough you can always change your modem later.

[Q] Need to know that my phones letter code is

Hello xda.
I just bought a S3 from someone (not a carrier), and I plan on rooting it. Firstly I want to find the stock firmware for it in case I need it at some point.

I know I need to check SamMobile in order to find my Firware but i do not know which one is it. Can someone help me please?
Use CHECKFUS to download your stock firmware .

I believe that's the German firmware can I confirm that's jb it's on? If it is then you should find the fw at this link
