I rooted my S2 about 1.5 years ago, so I dont remember exactly what I did with the build number, but now i want to sell it thus returning it to stock ROM, the thing is I cannot find a match of my build number i9100xxlpx, so what should I do?

After about 1.5 years of love, rooting and multiple ROMS, it was time to upgrade my HTC Desire.
As such, I have bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 ... problem is, after much reading, I'm still not sure what I have ... there seems to be multiple flavors of the phone and stock ROMS. It's definitely unlocked and running fine on AT&T.
Model GT-I9100 (this I understand)
Android version 2.3.3 (this I understand)
Baseband I9100XXKG1 (????)
Kernel version 2.6.35.7-I9100ZSKG2-CL361136 root *at* ubuntu #6 (????)
Build number Gingerbread.ZSKG2 (????)
It came with a Chinese Keyboard, was bought from expansys-usa (if this matters)
My ultimate goal is: root this beast, and install other ROMS, probably stock ones to start. I'm not looking for instructions on how to do this as there are plenty of how-to's already on the web, but I want to know what phone I'm starting out with so I can use the right root method and right ROMS.
For some reason you have a Chinese rom on an international phone.
Baseband I9100XXKG1 Bit in bold is the bit that matters
Kernel version 2.6.35.7-I9100ZSKG2-CL361136 Bit underlined is the region code, bit in bold is the version.
There are multiple versions for each version code (cos samsung like making our lives hard) most KGX roms are 2.3.4, but there is also some which are 2.3.3, which you have.
Build number Gingerbread.ZSKG2 Again, its gingerbread so 2.3.X and underlined is the region code, bold the version.
To get a newer version, use this guide
Your best bet is KG6 or KH3.
You can use any modem with any firmware version, so if you find a modem is bad for you, flash a new one.
for root, to start with use cf-root, match it up with the version number, unless there is one that matches both region code and version number.
That clears up a lot for me, thanks for the info and the links.
Just picked this up used on craigslist. Just wondering if somebody else running a Telus-locked note can confirm if the following is stock or if it has been flashed:
Model number
SGH-I717D
Android Version
2.3.6
Baseband version
I717DTLLA2
Kernal version
2.6.35.11
Build number
GINGERBREAD.207
Sorry I couldn't do a screenshot... don't have my SIM yet.
Thanks.
Looks about stock to me for Telus i717d, but not entirely

Yes, though late as it may be, pretty sure it's stock for Telus, as mine displayed the same. Though this however does not tell you if it's been flashed before, just that it's running the Telus Gingerbread ROM it was shipped with. My attached screenshot was taken after I ran a nightly CM10 JB ROM and restored back to Gingerbread.
Hey,
I have a question regarding serial number. I am currently using Official ICS 4.0.3, CSC = COA, the IMEI is displayed correctly, but it looks like the serial number that is read by Android is totally different than what is displayed on the sticker on the back of the phone. It is something like 0019...
Does this mean that the /efs folder is screwed up? Note that I used various ROMs in the past: DarkyROM, ICS 4.0.4 ROMs (where serial number was displayed 0000...), Samsung Jelly Bean Leak, CM9 and CM10 - based ROMs. When I revert, I always flash an Open Europe full wipe Gingerbread version (XXKL1) and then incrementally update to the version with my corresponding CSC.
When I connect the phone to Samsung Kies, it is able to read the phone, it says this is the latest update (4.0.3), but I kinda find it hard to believe so I am curious whether it's S/N screwed up. Also, when I looked on Sammobile.com, I managed to find downloadable 4.0.4 OTA files for Cosmote Romania (COA).
Some threads mention flashing bootloaders or flashing official ROMs. I already did flash official ROMs but never dealt with bootloaders so far, so before I do anything, I would like some help if anyone can provide me with some specific information regarding this issue.
Furthermore, this may be important for future potential warranty service and this may help other people with similar issues.
Thanks a lot!
You have a question?
Isn't there a special section for that?

Yeah, I noticed after, sorry, if the Moderators can move it, that would be great, anyway if you know the answer, that would be great as well.
hi
same here, also wondering why the S/N on the IMEI Sticker on the back of the phone is diffrent than the S/N that show up under Settings>About Device>Status>Serial number. the imei is the same. (GT-9100, 4.0.3). there is another way/code to find the S/N ?
I noticed that N7100 and GT-I9300 IMEI and S/N that displayed on the back is exactly the same as the android shows.
thanks in advance
Hey!
I bought an international version Galaxy S3 and noticed in boot mode that my product name says SGH-T999, which is the U.S. T-Mobile version. However in about device menu my build number is indicated as I9300ZSEMC1, which is the international version from HK. Quadrant also indicates model as I9300. I haven't flashed any kernel or ROM yet, but the binary counter is at 2 so I'm guessing I didn't really receive my phone fresh out of factory. I want to recover back to stock and I'm confused on which version of stock recovery should I download? I'm guessing the ZEMC1 version, but I want to make sure Also, should I just go along with this or should I fix the wrong product name issue first?

Just in case, my kernel says
3.0.31-538866

Did you buy your phone off ebay or similar? Fake phones are often sold as one model when really they only change the model number from another one. I certainly wouldn't flash a rom until you are certain of the model.
Samsung would never supply a phone new or refurbished like this and certainly not with the counter at 2.
Trust the boot loader, it can't be modified.

I checked the hardware specs, CPU frequency and GPU match the SGH T999 with 1.5GHz and Qualcom Andreno. I guess I got screwed over a little. Then again, it doesn't lag like the legit I9300 version of my buddies so I got that going on for me.
Then, how do I proceed with flashing stock? I notice the guide I linked includes links to U.S. carrier versions so I'm assuming I can carry on with it, apart from downloading the SGH version rather than ZSEMC
EDIT: I followed androidayos guide how to revert T-mobile gs3 to stock firmware, and it worked fine. Even the sticker behind battery was reprinted for fake i9300. I really hope no one gets screwed over like that, but in case you do, this helped.
Thank you guys for the assistance.
Similar problem
I have a similar problem with my Samsung Galaxy S3. In odin mode it pretends to be SGH-I747, but the sticker under the battery shows to be an international model GT-I9300. The about phone settings show my S3 is an international variant. I managed to open it with a screwdriver, i was surprised to see the motherboard is for SGH-I747.
I would say my phone has been modified. I have trouble with my phone as it can't connect to HSDPA. It only connects to Edge. I was thinking that flashing would solve the issue. But which firmware? It currently has android 4.3. Your help please!!
