[Q] Updating kernel baseband on Samsung Galaxy S2 with CM 7.1

Hello everyone,
I'm on a Samsung Galaxy SII with Stable Cyanogenmod 7.1 with KH3 baseband version.
What's the best baseband to update? With CM installation my modem wouldn't update and I can't find any guide that teaches how to properly update a baseband.
I'm coming from Villain Rom and there where no problems with HSDPA. With CM 7.1, data connection is anything but fast.
My carrier is Vodafone Spain.
Baseband with CM 7

works only with lg optimus 2x.. not galaxy s2
Try Rom Manager, there are a few modems available under codeworkz, I think it does the modem installation for you.
Sorry if this is the wrong thread to ask this but i tried cm9 but it didnt like my apps so i went back to gb 2.3.4 on galaxy s2, never gives me trouble but cm9 left its baseband behind, my phone seems to be running better but is it safe can anyone tell me plz
Never mind sorted it by flashing 2.3.5, i find earlyer GBs have better batterylife and will run any app u put in it

[Q] Galaxy S2 I9100T rooting issue

Hi
I have read a lot about rooting samsung galaxy s2 but am not able to figure out how to actually root it. I mean I saw the videos and tutes for the process and it looks very simple but am not able to find which .tar file to use for the CF root.
Its a bit confusing and I would like to know if some1 can help me with my problem. I also went through the forum and found that ppl had problems with rooting i9100T. Does CF Root actually work for these models or its just a trial n error thing.
My phone details are:
model no. GT I9100T
Baseband : I9100TDUKF4
Kernel: [email protected]#2

I'm also in the same situation with a GT-I9100T
My phone details are as follows:
Model: GT-I9100T
Android: 2.3.6
Baseband: I9100TDCKL1
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100TDCKL2-CL767350 [email protected]#2
Build: GINGERBREAD.DCKL2
Can anyone shed any light on root for this model please?
My suggestion would be to CF-Root using this file: http://download.chainfire.eu/35/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KH1-v4.1-CWM4.zip
At least the KH1 is the same as yours...
I have i9100T also but I required KL2 and there is none.
I used KL3 instead and everything worked fine for me.
Best of luck and hopefully yours will be my first thanks! : )

You could try to download the ics Odin dump and flash it onto your device. Your post doesn't contain the model number so I couldn't find the specific one for you. (Wifi or wifi +3G)
Wifi+3g
Model No. GT-P3100
You could try downloading a launcher and then finding a similar interface as to the ICS one.

[Q] How to root 2.3.6 on Galaxy S Plus?

Solved: I managed to root 2.3.6 incredibly easy after finding this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253707
============================================================
Hello, I've searched posts on here and google to little avail.
I upgraded firmware on my i9001 from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6
However 2.3.6 won't work with superoneclick, z4root etc and seems a hard one to root.
If anyone could provide a way to root it without too much trouble, I'd be most appreciative
I'm stuck with bloatware again at the moment and an annoying number of apps trying to run in the background causing slowdown.
Info:
Model: Samsung Galaxy S plus
Firmware: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: I9001 BUKP7
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.BUKP7
I have the solution plz wait till i return from school and i give you the link to flash Root in your galaxy S+ already tested in my friend phone
