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.
Hi Everyone,
All help appreciated.
I can't figure out which file to use to root the following S2:
Android Version: 2.3.4
Baseband: I9100XXKI1
Kernel: [email protected]#2
Can someone point the way?
Thanks!
Can't you find like an old kernel from Siyah or CF-root for Gingerbread to root? And do you have an international GT-I9100?
Maybe he's not allow to read the threads.
Oh the humanity....

Honestly I don't want to upgrade to Jellybean if it's not necessary. I just need to know how to install CyanogenMod and which version I need for my phone. Cheers

First you need to flash a CM kernel(it will be given in the CyanogenMod Roms thread) then through CWM flash CM 10(for 4.1.2) or CM 10.1(for 4.2.2).
Edit :
DELETED links since I didn't notice your model number before , and I can't find any official cm versions for SCH-R760. Try searching harder for ported versions.

And don't bump posts after 8 hrs (after 24 hrs is acceptable). You make a thread or a post & wait patiently for an answer.
And you need to understand that because you have a relatively obscure phone few people who hang around I9100 Q&A have, it's only natural that you're going to wait a lot longer for that help for the most part unless it's something generic/that applies to most Samsung phones.
Hi, I got this new Galaxy Tab from Korea and I'm wondering how am I supposed to root it? I have no experience on rooting whatsoever, so I really need exact and guaranteed instructions. I tried rooting my tab twice, it ended in a Coma Brick twice and I had to send it to Samsung Help desk twice to repair it.
Here's my Specs:
Model Number: SHW-M180S
Firmware Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: M180S.FE18.1503.ST
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.UF08
I need precise and accurate information. Thank you.
Not really sure if this is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 since its Gingerbread 2.3.6. Stock Galaxy Tab 10.1 comes with Honeycomb 3.1.

Well considering... according to Google that it's a Samsung Galaxy 7 SHW-M180S Korea
If your trying to root and flash a rom from here might explain why you had to send it back twice...
Head over to here and take a look!

actually, for installing custom roms you really dont need to bother about your firmware details only your device make and model
unless you need to flash stock roms
if you are not rooted then search for siyah kernel(safest way to start) and flash it via odin
you can find the details in the forum
then flash the custom rom via recovery
