[Q] How do i root GT-I9100 4.0.4 Vodafone UK? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
i have recently noticed the new jellybean leak and im interested in rooting my s2 which is the Vodafone Kernel 3.0.15-1056085 - Build number imm76d.bulpg. I can find numerous tutorials how to root ones with a different build number. But i cannot find anything on the BULPG 4.0.4 build.
Wil the steps for the 4.0.3 work?
Thank you

You don't need to root if you're flashing the JB leaked update.
You just need to know how to comprehend the English language, learn how to use the search feature or read the S2 forums and have a big enough set of balls to flash it using Odin.

Briliant,
So the I9300XXLSJ Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean Test firmware for the Galaxy S II. I9100XXLSJ will work OK although my build number is different?
I have not done any rooting for a few years since my HTC Hero so ive lost track of all the roms and releases.
Thank you. :good:

If you do want to root then download Siyah kernel (TAR not CWM) and flash the TAR file using Odin. Then the world is your Chinese knock off pearl factory.

Learn how to use Odin
get ROM from checkfus downloader or sammobile.com
Pick lp7 ROM skip lp9.
You can flash any ROM if you got i9100, say UK lp7.
Flash using Odin.

Flashing jelly bean beta on non rooted phone?

As the title says pretty much. Can I flash the latest jelly beam firmware leaks from Sam mobile on my galaxy s3. I currently have flashed the 4.0.4 latest firmware using odin and want to know if it's just the same process for the latest jelly bean leaks or have I got to root and go down that path. And if I have why? I'm a bit confused I've tried to read different threads but can't find the exact answer. Any help would be appreciated thank you

Actually you can flash the jelly bean OTA unrooted. It requires you to have LH1 modem on LG8 ROM. If you have that then you can just flash the OTA package in Android recovery.

[Q] Updating With Another Country's Firmware

Hello, please, is it possible to download another country's official firmware from Sammobile and install on my Galaxy SII? Will I also be able to get official updates (like jelly bean 4.1.2) and install them in my country whenever updates are available in that country since i'm using that country's firmware?
I am still stocked with Android 2.3.5 and I really need to upgrade it to Android 4.0.4.
If it is possible to do so, please recommend a country from sammobile.com that I should download and install the firmware (preferably android 4.0.4) to my Galaxy SII. Thanks a lot.

try Kies for an update. Almost all countries have been upgraded to 4.0.3. and please don't install 4.0.4 it has got a super brickbug.
First of all, I really appreciate your quick response and advice.
When I used to try and update via Kies it tells me I'm using the latest update + I live in Nigeria and the latest update for Galaxy SII in Nigeria on Sammobile is android 2.3.5.
I recently upgraded my phone to the unofficial Galaxy SII's jelly bean, after I noticed a few irritating bugs, I decided to switch back to my stock 2.3.5. But there is one problem though, the baseband version is still I9100XXLS6 (the unofficial jelly bean baseband version), therefore, my Kies application cannot recognise it, it always says " Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies" when I connect it to Kies. How can I change it back to the original baseband version to be able to use Kies?
There are pictures to confirm this. Thanks

those few irritating bugs have been fixed by different developers, you can try a rom based on XXLSJ, which have these bugs fixed. Or you can even try Siyah Kernel v6 http://www.gokhanmoral.com/
How did you reverted back to Gingerbread. The correct is, Flash Official firmware download from www.sammobile.com with ODIN.
I reverted back to gingerbread using the backup I made previously before updating to the unofficial jelly bean. The backup still has the correct baseband, but I don't know why the unofficial jelly bean baseband version is still here. Do you think downloading and installing that from Sammobile will solve the baseband version issue? Thanks

yes, flashing with ODIN will fix it, but it will wipe your current OS. Or else just flash your pervious modem with ODIN or through CWM.
Ok. Is it advisable to download another country's firmware? For instance one of India's Android 4.0.3 since you said 4.0.4 has issues that might cause break. Thanks

to fix baseband issue, just flash the modem which you had previously.
yes you can install 4.0.3 from any country. Just change the CSC with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manniakk.cscselector&hl=en
Alright, thanks for your help. I really appreciate.

Hi, I downloaded the official Android 2.3.5 (I9100XWKJ1_I9100OJVKJ1_I9100XXKI4_HOME.tar.md5 and SS_DL.dll) from Sammobile. It's quite different from the usual CODE, CSC and MODEM files from other firmwares. Please, how can i install this on my Galaxy SII using Odin? I've searched the web for that but all I saw was how to install the leaked version of Android 2.3.5.
NB: I downloaded that of Nigeria. Thanks

Mobile odin does the trick without much of a problem.

Yes. You will have to do a factory reset from the recovery, otherwise you will get stuck on the Samsung logo.

[Q] Galaxy S2 i9100 Official Android 4.1.2 Firmware

Does any one have the download link for Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean (i9100) Samsung Official Firmware? I flashed a custom rom to my Galaxy s2 without creating a firmware backup so I cannot revert or downgrade to original rom. So I was wondering if I could download official 4.1.2 firmware then I can flash it. One more thing pls: A friend of mine own a galaxy s2 i9100 and it has the same version of firmware that I am looking for, so can I make a backup of its firmware and flash it to my s2 or copy its firmware as a zip file or something.

Sammobile is all you need looking for your apropiate carrier of course.
Samobile requires premium account

No it does not. You only have to register, for free, in order to DL firmwares. Nothing premium required. Stop spreading nonsense.
Also, next parrot who posts 'Go to Samfirmware' to this thread dies. Once was enough, 3 times is ridiculous. What the hell is wrong with you people ?
I thought it was premium ..
Thank u man
