Yes.
The easiest way is to use Philz kernel. Read the first few posts carefully. There are download links in post #3. Just make sure you match the rom version with the correct/similar kernel.
In most respects the "T' is the same as the i9100 international but with slightly different frequencies for the modem. (It will work with the same custom roms but stick with the i9100T modem)

You also keep using I9000 and I9100 interchangeably, what phone do you actually have? If you have an I9100 (not I9000 or I9100G) then you can find everything you need about flashing an ICS ROM in the stickies, specifically http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487

Hi,
I would like to flash new ROMs on my I9100 (XWKF3) but several ROMs have different model number as mine : XWKF3
for example i would like to test :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1659654 but i don't know if i will work or no.
MUST I use only ROM with the same model number as mine (XWKF3) or it doesn't matter and all ROM for I9100 can work ?
thx

most custom roms run on the lastest firmware.
xwkf3 is most prob your region firmware.
you can flash any roms listed for your GT-I9100 thats states it for this model.
all you need is root and cwm and to follow the flashing guide and read faq for the rom you have choosen to flash.
To install custom ROM you have to flash CFROOT with CWM first.
You can find one for you here (choose the one according to your current ROM): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Then go to CWM recovery mode and install ROM. I do not know this ROM so cannot tell you more detailed instructions. Please, read the ROM thread carefully for instructions.
EDIT: Now I noticed that you are running GB, not ICS ROM. I am not sure whether it is needed or not, but I would recommend first to flash newest original Samsung ICS ROM, then newest CFROOT and then to install custom ROM. I am really not sure, whether it is needed, but this works smoothly for me.
I already have ROOT and backup ROM from my I9100... so no problem with this.... moreover i already flashed more than 50 PDA so no problem with this also...
so if i understood well only ROM which have XWKF3 as model number can be flashed on my I9100 ?
1. did i understand it well ?
2. or is it only for original and insecure ROM for ROOT mode only ?
ICS ROM even original are not available AFAIK for model XWKF3
or did i miss something ?
thx.

no, you have got it wrong
XWKF3 is the version of firmware you are currently on, it has no impact on what you can flash...i.e you can flash any i9100 rom on it. Your model is NOT XWKF3, your model is GT-i9100
please ignore the XWKF3 part, its really not relevant
moreover i already flashed more than 50 PDA so no problem with this also...

i dont understand how you have flashed 50 firmwares if you dont know this....i seriously suggest doing some research before doing anything further with your phone

Definitely not. You can flash any ROM, but you should choose one for your region/country. Choose one from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487 or from SamMobile or samsung-updates.
Then take CFROOT dedicated to your ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399.
Then use CWM to flash any custom ROM following the instructions for the ROM.

i think there is a misunderstanding here.
the XWKF3 is in the android OS written as Model Number.
i know that my samsung is a I9100 model however during my flash for ROOT and CWM installation it is also referenced as Model number...
i flashed several HTCs (ROM & FW) before with any issue, my question here was about the model number...is the Android OS model number important in the ROM choice or not.
and you answered to that question
thx
nope, xwkf3 is NEVER the model number, it is the 3rd firmware of june 2011 and therefor terribly old and outdated.
to clarify, xw is your region, general europe, k is the year of the rom (k=11th letter of the alphabet, year 2011), f is the month of the rom (f=6th letter, june) and 3 is a running number for the roms of that month.
also, in android os information, Model Number says GT-I9100, the rom number you refer to can only show up in baseband version and/or build number.
you must flash a rom from this sub forum, not just any model or make of phone, but flashing another kf3 rom would give you the same one, you already have. obviously you would want something newer, like LP7 or LPD or at least LA4.
but given the current state of this device, i would recommend you just connect the phone to the pc, start kies and let it take care of the rom flashing process for you and upgrade you to the latest rom for your region, because at this point i would not recommend you to start flashing on your own, you are still lacking the basics. no offense, but you have a lot of reading to do before you get started on that or you will brick your device!
a good place to start reading is this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
after you read the entire first 4 posts in that thread, you can start flashing roms, preferably one you downloaded in said thread, if you have further questions, just continue reading or ask in that thread or here again.
I live in Israel and I want to flash official israeli ics rom to my galaxy s2 i9100 ....is it possible?
No. You would brick the phone.

But there's no hardware differences between this versions as I know only different modems so the 3g would work normally...so why should this brick my phone?
Australian/Oceania variants
GT-I9100T
The GT-I9100T (sold by Vodafone Australia and Telstra, and some carriers around the world except Europe and the Americas) is virtually identical to the I9100 and is functionally equivalent. There are claims on the XDA-Developers forum that this variant there are some differences in software, giving slightly better performance in the 850 MHz WCDMA band.

Info taken from wiki. In theory seems yes, but you don't have to. Your phone will work with any ROM designed for i9100.
Sorry about the wrong info. :/

YES, it is possible.
Do the following when flashing such Roms:
1. Backup your present ROM just incase.
2. Do normal wiping necessary before just like you want to flash a new ROM (just ask for help if you don't know what I'm talking about)
3. Flash the ROM
4. Flash back your modem (also known as baseband version)
5. Flash an I9100 custom kernel e.g Siyah or speedmod (don't flash any CF-ROOT kernel)
6. Fix permissions (under advanced)
7. Reboot your device.
All should go on as expected
Good luck

Use CHECKFUS to download stock rom and flash via Odin or any stock rom on this forum ..
Warning flashing I9300 on a non I9300 will bust your phone .

Hi, I was given a Galaxy S2 I9100 with baseband version I9100BOKJ1 T-mobile that has android 2.3.5 installed.
So, I wanted to update it to 4.1.2 through OTA but it says that there are no updates available, what are my options?
Can I just install an official 4.1.2 stock rom through odin? If so, what 4.1.2 stock ROM is compatible with this phone? Thanks!
Yes, you can flash a 4.1.2 stock ROM via Odin. There are plenty of stock ROMs on the internet for our device, most of them are on sammobile.com, but you need to sign in to use it. A simple Google search will show its results. Try to find a ROM matching to your region/carrier.
Think about making a backup of your baseband. There are guides on the internet. If you get big problems with GPS or signal strength with the new ROM, you can flash it back. Some people report the stock baseband solves GPS and signal issues, nevertheless it didn't change anything for me when I tried around switching basebands.
Hope this helps.

Some regions didn't get JB update at all. You can flash your phone using odin.
Go to below link find a none carrier firmware download and flash.

My current rom is xwlsw.
And don't try AOSP stock is always the best.
