Hi people.
I tried (foolishly maybe) to update my X10i to 2.1 today using the nordic firmware method described here somewhere. But I did it using my mac and vmware fusion running windows XP. Everything went fine in the beginning, SEUS recognized the phone, offered update, downloaded and instaleld it, but in the end of the installation it said that the update failed.
Now I have a yellow exclamation mark whenever I turn on my phone. Is there any way to recover on my mac or should I go and look for a windows PC somewhere (which is hard as none of my colleagues/friends use a PC)?
Cheers.
I had exactly the same problem trying to update using vmware fusion. in the end i had to use bootcamp to flash my x10i which worked perfectly

hi every one I finally got he optimus one:-D.
all is good with the phone and i can say that i'm totally happy to have it.
Now with a bit of error part.
it showed the update so decided to go for it.
Installed the lg pc suite.
It detected the phone but while syncing it (lg pc suite) crashes in between.
I'm using windows 7 64 bit.(if this helps)
one more thing i'm confuse about one thing and that is rooting.
I live in india and there are many applications which i dont really need so would rooting would help me get rid of those programs.
If yes then one thing i'm a total noob at all this.
please provide me a link with a detailed.
And please only and only if its necessary.
I am facing the exact same problem. Will try at home today on my XP PC. But am confounded why the software keeps crashing. Tried it on 3 different windows 7 pcs. Have not tried a different downloaded version of PC Suite IV. Also, not able to downgrade firmware or use superoneclick to root the firmware, both hang.
My specs are as follows:
Android 2.2.1
LG software v10c
Does anyone face the same problem or has a solution?
Thanks

Hello everyone from XDA!
I've been reading several different posts on the Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-i9100, and though many have been helpful (thank you!), I just can't seem to find the solution I'm looking for.
Not long ago I upgraded the stock firmware from Bell Canada (forget the specs) to:
Android version: 2.3.5
Baseband version: I9100XXKI4
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWJK3-CL647431 [email protected] #2
Build number:: GINGERBREAD.XWKJ3
My phone was also rooted.
Recently, however, I've been trying to upgrade to ICS but without success---and I've tried a number of ways, from the XDA forum to various websites around. I suspect the problem may be with my computer (USB related) and not the phone. I'm not sure, I'm not an expert, which is why I come to you for help, please.
The first and only attempt of ever upgrading the firmware (see above) was a success; as per directions, I used Odin: the PIT, PDA, PHONE, and perhaps CSC as well. It has been some time since the ugrade, and in the mix of trying new and different firmware (without success) I have forgotten exactly what happened.
So my problem, now, is that any time I try to upgrade to ICS (or another firmware for that matter) my computer ends up crashing when the flashing of the phone reaches the "boot.ini" stage. My computer (Windows XP Professional) crashes and a blue screen appears with an error---something to do with USB.
I just can't seem up update my phone.
The phone still works perfectly fine, but I really want ICS. I have tried with and without Kies installed. In fact, Kies even allows me to upgrade to a newer version (though it's not ICS) than I currently have. Unfortunately, though, when I try upgrading via Kies, I am also unsuccessful.
Could this just be my computer's USB? The drivers? If you have had similar experience and know the answer please help!

This screams to me it's the computer.
Have you tried on a different one?

I agree it sounds like a problem with your PC. You can bypass that problem by using Mobile Odin.
As ctomgee says, a blue screen error indicates a problem with your computer, not phone.
The way you are trying to get ICS also seems strange, the current way to get it would be:
Root phone and install CWM using Chainfire kernel.
Download and put the ICS rom on your sd card.
Boot into CWM, wipe everything and install the rom.
Reboot and you have ICS.
What file were you trying to use to upgrade to ICS?
Thanks
@ ctomgee: I've considered using a friends computer but I'm worried about damaging their computer by having an error appear.
@ oinkylicious: Thanks, I never knew about mobile Odin. I'll check it out.
@Kaze105: I appreciate the steps, thank you. The new firmware is GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XXLPB_I9100XXLPB_I9100XEUKH2.tar.md5 and Kernel_I9100XXLPB.tar.md5, respectively.
If any of you have links or suggestions as to favorite roms, kernels, or the like, well I'm open to suggestions!

I'm having a similar problem.
I decided to root my galaxy s2 with the CF-kernel (so this is my initial flash, and mobile odin is no alternative).
But every time I start (in Odin), my computer crashes.
I tried it on a "native" Windows XP x86 system and in a virtual machine with Windows XP x86(because I am using Linux only).
On my second machine with Windows 7 64bit, I cannot install the device drivers correctly (the CDC component fails to install), so Odin (and Kies as well) does not recognize the Device.
Is there any suggestion or alternative to Odin especially for Linux systems?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: enabling USB 2.0 for the virtual machine and reinstalling the USB-drivers did the trick (the native windows system has no USB 2.0). Now it hangs on connectionsetup, but that's another problem.
As stated in the topic, I have a problem with PC Companion.
The installation is ok, my XPS is detected, but when I try to use anything in it (Support Zone, Contact Setup, etc.) it says : Application not installed. Impossible to install this application, please try again later.
Totally useless as it is.
I'm on Win7 x64. I already uninstalled/reinstalled PCC, reboot my comp, but nothing helps.
I tried with a virtual machine (XP mode) and everything is ok, except that the phone is not detected.
Any hints ? Thanks.
I Just updated my phone with PC Companion. For some reason, the install wizard did not appear so I downloaded and installed it from a Sony site. I am using Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit so it has got nothing to do with the version of windows. Your problem seems unusual. Perhaps you can try installing it on another laptop or desktop.
I downloaded PCC from Sony website too, and I don't have another computer to test. I tried SEUS, but says my phone is up to date with .62 firmware, where others in my country are in .67 (unbranded sim free phone)
Hey All I have a problem with my RSD-Lite because every time Iwant to select the sbf-file it just doesn't show the File Properties.
Help Please!
I don't think this is the correct section to post about this topic but anyways, if this is your first time trying RSDLite:

Else, make sure
1. You have latest version of RSD-Lite
2. You have an original, unmodified, regional SBF for your device (and that is not corrupt).
3. Try running as administrator if these didn't work.
It is not the first time to flash my Phone with RSD-Lite , but it just stopped working from one day to another I already reinstalled my Windows 7 but still didn't work and it doesn't help to run it as administrator
What about re-downloading your SBF?
doesn't work
Try diffrent computer

I've also seen issues with running RSD on Windows 7 machines. I've tried everything to resolve (including reinstall of OS), but have given up and gone back to a old WinXP machine to do all my RSD. From what I can tell, Win 7 machines are hit or miss relative to RSD.
If that's the case then I must be very lucky because I have windows 7 and I almost always flashed without problems. Glad you could find a workaround.
OK I just pulled out my VERY old XP-Notebook and now everything works thanks!
Hi..
As it says, I was trying to unlock bootloader and turned out that Flashtool doesn't recognize my phone as rooted device at all, so why is that? I made sure that my phone is updated to the latest stock ROM, baseband..everything. And root works since I can access system files from root explorer (SU app is installed also)..I'm on Win8 and my phone was rooted using Flashtool 0.8.5 a long time ago..Any ideas?
I forgot to mention that "root" button on Flashtool is also grayed out.
Anyone?
have you tried latest flashtool ? windows 8 is new system with different structure like w7 or vista. however I have installed latest flashtool with PC Compaion on laptop with windows 8 and runs good. // the only think that I used there is flashing diferent kernels so I dont know if "root" button works or not.//
Yes I'm using the latest version with PC companion installed..
at my first try to flash I had several problems. One seemed to be caused by some kind of "wrong" root, means i could use all kinds of root apps correctly, but couldnt flash kernels etc... however, i used superoneclick and nothing changed.
As it didnt work, i repaired software via pccompanion and rooted with newest fllashtool (0.9) and all worked. I remember it because it nearly got me crying because i followed every step exactly.
