Hello XDA
I'm a little new to the whole android scene and I ( stupidly ) bought a Galaxy S2 I9100G version not knowing it would have lower performance and much harder to upgrade to ICS so I have a few questions because I want to manually upgrade it to ICS 4.0.3 and Kies doesn't work at all so my question is:
What does the basebands differ from one to another and if I'm to install an official update to my "I9100GDZKH5" which firmware should I install to be suitable to it.
or should I choose it based on the kernel version whick is "2.6.15.7 [email protected] #2"
BTW I live in Egypt and the official ICS firmware still hasn't come out
My current full Specs
Model Number
GT-I9100G
Android Version
2.3.4
Baseband Version
I9100GDZKH5
Kernel Version
2.6.35.7

Try Flashing a Custom ROM. In order to do this you will have to Root your phone and your phone will get warranty void. The decision lies upon you.

Thanks for your reply starbriganza but I'm trying to find a way to manually install official firmware and all I need to know is how to pick the appropriate firmware for my Galaxy S2

Samsung has officially released ICS 4.0.4 now. You can google it and install it via odin. Just put the downloaded .tar file in the PDA section and flash it.

Can someone explain android version versus kernel version? I see there is an updated AT&T stock rooted 2.3.6 flashable zip I can download from the forum. It isn't clear if it's the Kernel or the version of Android. What would be the difference with the 2.3.6 from my stock 2.3.5?
My Rogers i727R says it's Android version 2.3.5 and kernel version 2.6.35.11. From what I understand, the AT&T was also 2.3.5 and kernel version 2.6.35.11. So if I understand this update correctly, it updates the entire OK, therefore it is a ROM, not a kernel, correct?
If this is correct, why did not update the kernel to 2.3.6, or is there no such thing?
Yes its a rom. Android gingerbread version 2.3.6 that is the android version the kernel version of this rom is still 2.6.35.11 im not sure what differences there are on this rom it was an ota update we got a few days ago. And the kernel and android version are not the same. I dont believe the kernel version number , and android version are ever the same
The kernel number is the Linux kernel version that the Android build is based off of, and barring some highly unusual set of circumstances, won't happen to overlap.
I'm on this Version:
Samsung Galaxy Royal
Modellnummer: GT-I9103
Buildnummer: GINGERBREAD.XWKI5
SW-Version: Android 2.3.5
Basisbandversion: I9103NEKI1
Kernel-Version: 2.6.36.3-I9103XWKI5-CL577705 [email protected]#3
Kies says that there is no update but I have no confidence in this tool.
Is it true that 2.3.5 is the latest Version? I'm in Austria/Europe.
I'm afraid it is the case for Europe.(German and Austria seem to have the latest release 2.3.5, all other countries are on 2.3.4) Taiwan and China has 2.3.6. U can find it here and moreover even create your own hybrid version by replacing taiwanese/chinese csc with your own. It's easy I did it it with my nordic and it works like a charm.
Thanks for the Info.
Does this hybrid build fix the following problem?

You can use nameless rom, has less number of bugs compared to cm11

I have the older model of the Note 10.1, and the android version is stuck at 4.1.2, and my family who have a similar device. I was wondering if there is a way to upgrade the stock Firmware, since samsung chooses not to allow us to upgrade the firmware

Flash stock firmware through Odin .
