[Q] Which kernel version fits my situation best?

I bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9000 in the Netherlands, SIM free. When the phone had an accident the motherboard needed to be replaced. This was done by Samsung Services in Thailand since I live in Thailand. So now I have an Asian version which I do not like at all and is not so handy.
I have rooted the phone, Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100CEKI2-CL586309, [email protected]#2, GINGERBREAD.DXKI2. I like to download a European version software or Dutch version.
Searched your site and found a few I think that might do the job:
XWKK2: PDA:XWKK2, PHONE: XXKI4, Date: 11/11/2011, Android 2.3.6
XEN (Netherlands), XWKK2 Stock Kernel
XWKJ3: PDA:XWKJ3, PHONE: XXKI4, Date: 25/10/2011, Android 2.3.5
XEN (Netherlands), XWKJ3 Stock Kernel
CEKI2: PDA:CEKI2 ,PHONE: XXKI1, Date: 19/09/2011, Android 2.3.4
XEN (Netherlands), CEKI2 Stock Kernel.
Now I have a few questions that I cannot answer myself at this moment:
1. Which version would fit my situation best if at all?
2. Or is there a better version?
3. Do I need to download the stock kernel as well?
4. Or will just downloading the CSD do?
Any help will be welcomed.

GT-I9100G Help please ??!

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

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.

[GT-N8013] How to change the OS or firmware?

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

Yes if Samsung have released a later version firmware .

Flash stock firmware through Odin .

what is the firmware and model of your phone.
With that we can point you in the right direction.
to find the firmware, go to settings - about device.

I currently have no os installed but my phone is a sm-g920f model , and was running 5.1.1 before
