    Need help with firmwar roleback

    i flashed my s2 to new ics. but the battery life gone so bad , i am thinking og flashing back to my previous gingerbread and wait for real offical update!
    my line orange(uk) but when i bought it at (phones4u) they tod me its unlocked.
    anyway i was wondering which version should roll back to in order to be able to get the offical ics update through kies when it comes out?
    orange (uk) 2.3.5 gingerbread or open europe 2.3.5/6 ????
    any one knowes?

    You can check to see if it's unlocked by typing this into the dial pad *#7465625# if the top one says network lock OFF, it's unlocked. If you got the phone from phones4u then I doubt it is a branded phone.

    The latest official samsung firmware is is 2.3.4 and can be found here: http://skywanker.net/roms/intratech/..._I9100XXKI1.7z 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 are leaked firmwares.

    Link here for the guide to flashing it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1075278

    They have an orange Kies icon next to each firmware, this is the best indication that the firmware is 'official'.
