Make sure this is not the number in the "baseband" line as this is your MODEM version (radio) not kernel.Then go to this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1103399 and download the kernel for the same version type as you just identified, once downloaded extract from the .zip so you have the .tar file.Download ODIN if you have not already done so, also in that thread above and extract from the zip.Install samsung KIES from this link (for drivers) - http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mo...OFTWARE.MANUAL Once you have done all this power down your phone and then power back on in download mode.
