CyanogenMod 7 for Samsung Galaxy S II may not be the most stable ROM. It is still in nightly development stage. But due to that, you can try the latest Android 2.3.7 Gingerbread GWK74 on Samsung Galaxy S2 now. And it is using XXKI3 baseband from latest official firmware.
cm_galaxys2_full-72 build was the version that I tested. It is based on Android 2.3.7 Gingerbread. I believe all the future build will be based on Android 2.3.7 too. Hopefully, CyanogenMod 8 with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich will be coming out soon…
Note – This is a nightly development release. Do check out CyanogenMod website for latest build.

Hello Jayce
I got a Samsung Galaxy S2 from China mobile. But all the aplications, like tha market are chinese version, even the logos are different. Is it possible to format it and add another ROM version from any other country?
Thx
Nope, sorry… China I9100 hardware is not same as international I9100. So you can’t use any firmware / kernel for international SGS2.
Thx Jayce,
Anyhow I send you the info in case there is anything comes up, and something can be done
Model Number GT-I9108
Android Version 2.3.5
Baseband Version I9108ZMKI5
Kernel Version 2.6.35.7 Se.infra@SEP-68 #2
hardware version I9108.01
Build number GINGERBREAD.ZMKI5
THX a lot for your posts, really helpfull
i got the same problem, have a SGS2 GT-I9108 from China, with Baseband Version I9108ZMKI5, is there anyway to install international SGS2 firmware on China i9100 hardware?
Nope, you will brick it if you do so.

Normally around 20 minutes.
Try to wipe data and cache. Then install CM7 ROM again. If still cannot, try other Android ROM.

Install other Android ROM. Eg, CheckROM RevolutionHD.

and now the blue android icon and cyanogenmod 7 come out again .. need to wait how long ?
if the blue android icon shown .. what does it means?
That is just a boot animation like SGS2 on official firmware. The system might hang in the background.

gapps or google talk with video addon?
Should be gapps.
Hi Jayce,
I went to CyanogenMod website and I saw got “cm_galaxys2_full-95.zip” till “cm_galaxys2_full-116.zip”, shall I just download the latest one (cm_galaxys2_full-116.zip)?
Is Jkay theme can run in 2.3.7?
Regards.
I prefer latest one.
JKay supports up to XWKK5 now. No Android 2.3.7 Samsung firmware yet.
Is there a big difference between 2.3.5 and 2.3.7? I can’t really find an obvious comparison…
How long do you think 4.0 full ver will come out…?
I did not try Android 2.3.7 on S2.
Official Android 4.0 firmware will be out by Q1 2012. I believe end of March for Europe.
hey bro, how can i update my firm ware from 2.3.5 to 2.3.7… will it work fine, my s2 is already rooted..
Follow the installation guide in the post. Did not try latest CM7 ROM. No idea.

You need CWM to install CM7. Why go to Odin download mode?
thank you for your quick respond,
i didnt know that so i have to download CWM? where i can download this version?so what should i do?
Hi mao, please refer to the installation guide.
now i am confused, which one to download, i already have rooted my phone. i have CWM. can u just give me the link which 2.3.7 version i have to install thank you.
The link you gave above is the stable build. You can try nightly build if you want. All the links are in CM website.
Thank you, i tried that stable build one but it stuck on green android, so i restored my phone. now i will try the nightly build one. is this the right one,http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/update-cm-7-20120226-NIGHTLY-galaxys2-signed.zip
