This is How i updated the indian galaxy s2 firmware to 2.3.5 through KIES

1.flash the kernel from secure to insecure through ODIN
2.root the OS with S2Root_1.5.1
3.reflashed with original kernel to remove yellow icon while booting(optional)
Referred the instructions in this post for previous steps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
4.Install Spooffw from market( it requires root access.the reason why we root before doing this)
5.Open Spooffw app and select Nordic region preset ,follow the steps in that app (which change the phones internal files to make it look like its from Nordic countries)
6.Connect to PC ->Open KIES found that it shows 2.3.5 XXKI4 update is available .
7.upgrade the firmware.
But i lost the root access . Gotta root again (follow first three steps) if i need root access again

Why not flash 2.3.5 using Odin? Alot less steps and twice as quick.

Thanks for mentioning that app. I'll follow that method next time I wanna upgrade.
PS- Changing the region won't delete my data, right?

No, Kies does not wipe data.
Can anyone else confirm?

Note that, You will have to do the same when Official Indina version gets released !!!
Steps you did will update your model id ... which makes is diificult to get official version from Kies ... So in order to restore that footprint you will have to again update your Model ID with SpoofFW...
I tried this a lot with My Galaxy S....
I would simply prefer ODIN method ... and You can easily detect if ROM you are about to flash will Wipe or Not. ...
1) Single File , No Wipe
2) 3 Files , Full Wipe.

Didn't know that! What if I flash two files? Say PDA and CSC, will it wipe or not?

You should not do that ... Dont know , What will two files do !!!
But When you flash new ROM, theses two points can detect Wiping... ROM Will never have two files ... !
Flashing two files might work or might not work ! ... Normally PDA holds Wipe details ... if i am wrong.

Why? Titanium backup Rox.

Dude, whats the point in updating to XXKI4 via kies? , ITs still an european firmware. also its already available here in our forums, you can simply flash it via mobile odin.

I guess it makes sense in one way: for someone who wants the latest "Indian" firmware via Kies but can't get it because he/she flashed a firmware via ODIN before.
Of course, this is assuming folks in India will actually get an updated firmware soon :-D
Basically the SpoofFW app enables Kies to recognize your firmware as something that is upgradeable. Not particularly useful for most of us on XDA, but great if someone wants to stop screwing around with flashing firmwares and go back to Kies-enabled stock.

the app using an spoofing is easy an i had done it for sgs1 but had to reverse it wen official fw arrieved...an odin dint wipe my data (untick the partition)but some fw did wipe my data....i say odin is good an fast..dont exp wiv sgs2...but u got a no of custum roms to flash....cheeerz

running LPF stock rooted... need some help...

It works great but i dont see the cwm app in my phone. I installed the cwm.zio after flashing the new rom but when i go to recovery now with power-home-volume up' it goes to Andtoid recovery instesd og cwm recovery. When i install cwm.zip from android recovery, it goes to cwm recovery and everythungs fine, but after a reboot its back to the same thing. No cwm recovery.
Can someone post a link tp cwm apk ?
And also how to get perm cwm recovery
Other then that the rom is rooted and supersu installed
Ps: also.. is there a working 15toggle for lpf?? i tried one for lpy and it had trouble mountig usb storagr!

EXtract the zip file to get zimage and use mobile odin to flash it under kernel

You must be using the temporary CWM version. Go get cf-lpf kernel from development subforum.
As for your usb storage issues, use mtp.

So many people still didnt realize that danger in this bug. I dont understand.

Lots of time, it will seem okay to the majority because most users won't do a wipe unless necessary. Time will tell.

Untill there is safe kernel for ics be safe guys. Now because of the release source code samsung give we will not wait for to long before we see the light at the end the tunnel.

After so many bricks and so many warning from developers, there are still individual dare to run wipe in CWM??

No, no need for pit. Pit should only be used as a last resort. A lot can go wrong when flashing a pit file.

That's not your csc. Csc is 3 letters such as xeu for uk. You can check your csc by typing the following into the dialpad:
*272*emeicode*# where emei code is obtainable via *#06# in dialer
When you have it go to Dr K's thread and download the latest gb for that csc. If there isn't one available there is an alternative, but try that first.

I searched there for GB rom matching my Phone's PDA and CSC but couldn't find anything except for ICS rom. So now can someone please suggest me what GB rom should I flash? If possible please share the links and steps here only please.:crying:
Also if I can root it later on.

The lpy description in your pda relates to kernel version which is ics. If you look through Dr K's thread you'll see the roms are listed by kernel version and csc. The kernel version will obviously be different for gb such as kka (which is directly rootable). Also the gb roms are listed as directly rootable and not directly rootable.
So you can select any gb rom for dbt csc in the directly rootable section, stick it in the pda section of pc odin, and flash. It's easier than it sounds, just take your time with it. When it's flashed its worth rebooting into recovery (vol up, power, home) and do a full wipe.
Alternatively, a very kind soul packaged up some pre- rooted roms link here:

I'm just checking why I couldn't get the Sweet Rom lockscreen, dialer, sound and camera to work. So here are my questions.
1.
In step 1, the firmware BL you used is from Leaked Poland kit kat ?
2. Did you use PIT in any steps?
3. In step 5, wipe everything means data/factory reset, cache and Dalvik?

In which step did you use PIT? It's not on your instructions

I got it fixed, some of the instructions are inaccurate. I will write a perfectly detail version later on how to fix.

Tried to follow this, but failed ... I don't think the instructions are clear (no PIT, etc)
Followed them though ... and no luck.
Thanks to the poster, but hasn't helped me. Cheers.

I did find this useful, despite not getting to the final step, I also found these directions a little clearer:

I have 4.4.2 ... seems a tad buggy, so not sure if I'm out of the woods just yet.
Thanks for this thread though.
Cheers

This is my tutorial. Please read

Clear as crystal - still, have used the other instructions and managed to succeed. Wish I had had yours earlier to explain the 3:07 ODIN terms as the first poster uses 3.09 ODIN terms.
Thanks.
Cheers.

Sorry, don't get what you mean by "I have a question in your post please ask me".

I have made a question in your tutorial that you have linked in op. Sorry for my mistake. Have you got it?

Actually, I thought it was good, but my phone is still playing up - no matter what I do or what I try, there is something always not right. This time it was the video camera ... Fails. FFS
I'm really over this and don't really know what to do or think...
Just disappointed really.

You mean you have successfully flashed custom ROM but your ROM has problems? If so, you need to consult the ROM author because many of the Custom ROMs are still in the developing stages and still have many bugs
