Hi all,
Long time HTC user taken the jump to the S2 - so far.. WHAT A HANDSET
I have some queries though. My S2 comes with the new NFC options built in and appears to be slightly different to the standard S2 ROM.
This is an Orange UK handset with the following:
Model Number: GT-I9100P
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband Version: I9100PBVKI2
Kernel Version: [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.BVKI3
Can this be "safely" rooted (as much as any root is safe of course!
What ROMS are going to run with it properly? Will I need to use a different ROM than the ones the go on to the "standard" S2's?
I had no issues rooting and modding the living daylights out of the Desire but this version difference in the S2 makes me nervous... that and it's 3 days old LOL
Thanks guys & sorry for the noob-ness,

Yes it has been root Im not sure the root file is here. If I find the link I'll post for you. I saw it on a Dutch site as they have had this fone for a few months likewise France.
You could also dump the file by install HS-KTOOL from market and ask within the rooting forum if someone can be kind and make it for you.
Hi Nyssa - would it benefit members if I did the dump? If so I'll gladly do that if someone wants to do the "alterations" needed to it after...

Hey guys,
I'm a real noob at roms, rooting etc but i followed a tutorial on Youtube which lead me to root my phone using Odin and Superoneclick. I have no idea what this did as i didn't notice a difference on my phone but now ICS is released for my Galaxy SII which is TmobileUk branded. However, when i check on Kies, it says New Firmware Is Available but when i click Firmware Upgrade button then nothing happens. When I click Firmware upgrade and initialization under tools i get the error GT-I9100 does not support initialising. When reading on forums i found out this is because of me rooting so i searched on how to unroot Galaxy S2 but everything comes up with Unroot and installing Stock Kernal etc but i am not sure if i have installed a kernal but i can remember i put XWKDD file in ODIN.
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: I9100BOKF1
Kernal Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.BOKF3
and i have no MOD VERSION which i fugured is for a rom.
When typing *#1234# i get these versions:
PDA: I9100BOKF3
PHONE: I9100BOKF1
CSC: I9100TMUKF1
I have read some posts and found UK Tmobile have BOKF3 etc from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
but i do not know what todo with it.
Also i just installed an app called Ginger Unroot which has unrooted my phone so if i need to root or do anything can you explain please and will any of the steps wipe my phone (apps, data etc)
I really need this help
Thanks in advance
RE
Im real desperate
What most people do one they root their phones is install ROMs based off of the official release. It's like getting the release, and guaranteeing root access. I think that's a better way. You have more freedom. Otherwise, you can upgrade and pray that Samsung doesn't release something that breaks your rooting capabilities. Check the forums for a ROM based off if the official OTA update and install that. If you have a custom recovery installed, (Which you should have if you rooted correctly) add far as I know, the update won't work.

Hey there thanks for replying Can i find out if i have a custom rom or kernal as i dont know but i did unroot by an app called Ginger Unroot and checked with basic root checker which confirmed that i no longer have root access but the error still comes up. So if an OTA Update is released, then can I download that?

2 options, 1) you must be having a CWM, from that you can flash a Custom ICS rom
2) you can flash an official ICS rom from ODIN and root it.

ICS 4.03 is safe. Do not update it to 4.04 official rom. You can easily root your phone and install CWM recovery. Then flash a custom 4.0.4 ROM or whatever you like. For a start i suggest this rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824586
Hey all, I have searched a lot but didn't find proper solution
My S2 has:
Android version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9100DDKE4
Kernel version: [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKF3
I want to upgrade the phone to latest STOCK JB for INDIA.
But couldn't find any solution or process and link to official STOCK ROMS for INDIA.
Please do tell me the actual process and do provide the link for STOCK JB ROM for INDIA.
I also read about the superbrick bug, could I be affected by this bug?
Thanks in advance
please do tell the process politely. :angel:
Pls do a search...there is answer for everything....
you can use the JB from other countries like Spain, Nordics etc....and use ODIN to flash these .... also, inm y knowldge there is no official JB for India.....
"please do tell the process politely" ---> what is that????

You can always search this forum for 'stock jb firmwares' like I did, and your questions would have been answered already!
The official jb update for india has not yet been released. But you can dowload firmwares from other regions (available in this forum or at sammobile.com) and flash using Odin..
AFAIK Superbrick bug only affects phones running leaked firmwares, like some 4.0.4 firmwares. If you're updating to an official firmware, there is little chance of being affected by this bug..
Sent from my SGS II
Actully the eMMc brick bug is only on 4.0.4 stock kernel and is only triggered by backup, restore, flash etc in stack Recovery. Bottom line, you don't ave to worry.
And you are flashing via Odin so there isn't any chance of bricking your phone by the brickbug.
