Hi Guys,
Im currently using CM7 nightly build 20 and noticed that my modem was still in I9100XXKG2
Now i hear the latest modem is KG6 and is supposed to address some battery issues.
How do I go about upgrading it without screwing my custom rom over? Previously before i popped on CM7, Samsung KIES would handle it all for me.
I have a i9100XXKG6.zip with Code file, CSC File, Kernel file, modem file and PIT file
Do I just use Odin in (vol down, home + power) to flash just the modem file and then re-root with superclick?
Thanks!
Easiest way is to use codeworkx radios in rom manager. You can flash that over your existing radio without messing up your CM rom.

There is a sticky thread with every radio, download the one you want and flash via odin
Or if you have rom manager premium they are all available via that.
Just so you know, the radio version that's best is very region dependant

Nice swyping. Tee hee.
Based on reviews in Rom manager I went for KG3 over KG6.. No complaints from me..
I am thinking about installing a custom kernel and was just wondering how easy it is to install the stock kernel back if I need to? Do I have to do a nandroid backup and full restore or can I find just find the stock kernel somewhere and flash it?
Regards,
BTJ
it's not hard....
easiest way....go download original stock firmware from other thread....
to put original back, simply flash it with mobile Odin....or Odin

Hey Galaxy SII people, I need some help with a friend's SII.
I'm quite knowledgeable with custom ROMs and recoveries, but I have no idea what to do with a stock phone.
The phone is rooted and not getting the OTA to ICS. I want to get the OTA, losing root not necessarily a problem.
Can someone give me a hand with this? I have no idea what I need to do.
The phone also has the stock recovery.
I apologize if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find a conclusive, comprehensive answer.
Go to samfirmware and download the update firmware and install it via odin.
All the best.

Flash stock ROM from http://samfirmware.com/ via Odin. Search for galaxy S2 ROMs, just make sure you don't download the dangerous ROMs (the ones with a warning triangle next to them).

Thanks for the quick reply.
I'm downloading a zip now. I flash this with Odin/Heimdall? I thought I needed a .tar and a bunch of other files to flash with Odin.
This won't keep root, right? Is there any way I could get root back after flashing?
Also, will this wipe /data?
Oh, and I have the option to download a ROM for a specific carrier. Does that mean I can't use another carrier?
Edit: While I'm at it, is the stock recovery needed for anything stock ROM related?
Yes download will be in the form of a zip file, once downloading is complete you can extract the tar. file and place in the PDA section of odin. This will not wipe your device, well never has done for me. Yes you will loose root as you have a completely new rom with stock kernel. See the guide for rooting your chosen firmware. As for the carrier i always use the unbranded /open version as this has less bloat ware. All the best.

Make sure you don't have repartition button ticked or play with the pit file if you don't 100% know what you're doing either

Can someone tell me the descriptions of upgrading samsung s2 2.3.4 jokh8 to ICS
Sent from my GT-I9100G using xda premium
1. make a back up of your current firmware
2. In recovery, do a wipe of the cache then go to advanced and wipe daavik cache.
3. Using odin flash the ics firmware you like.
this tutorial should help .

Will it erase all data?

You already made 2 threads about rooting.
So since you "need" to be on ics,you open up another thread about gb-ics.
Whats next,a thread about how to use odin,or a thread about cwm.Or how about a thread for flashing kernel,or a thread about a rom.Then a thread about "help phone bricked".
Do us all a favour and read you lazy git.

1. Root your phone by flashing a rooted kernel containing CWM recovery (e.g. SpeedMod for GB ROMs), if not already done.
2. Make a nandroid backup of your current GB system in CWM recovery. (So you can restore it if flashing does not work or you don't like the new ICS ROM and you want to go back to GB.)
3. Have a look here for the latest ICS stock ROMs => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487.
There is also a description in the first post how to flash the new stock ROM with Odin.
I recommend to flash a pre-rooted ICS stock ROM from here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1608071.
Download the ROM, extract the zip file, put the tar/md5 file into PDA section of Odin and flash it to your phone. (Be sure that no Kies process is running on your PC while flashing.)
4. Once you are on ICS and rooted, you can install TriangleAway (=> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114&highlight=triangleaway) app to reset the flash counter if needed.
5. Be happy and enjoy the new ICS ROM.
Good luck !

Hello guys ,
i have got a question. If I install CWM and CyanogenMod, can I reflash StockROM without any problems (with Stock Recovery and original kernel,baseband and csc)?
Can I use a one-piece flashfile for that or I have to use a three-part flashfile?
If I have to use a three-part flashfile, where can I get it? On samfirmware.com are only one-piece firmwarefiles...
Greetings...
Shouldn't be any problems, back up sd card in case you need to factory reset to get it to boot

I'll use pre-rooted stock rom from here . All things you've asked are included in package. If you use TA and do Factory Reset your phone will be rooted and Official/Normal at the same time

Download the stock rom of your choice from SamFirmware, then flash with odin. Then boot into the phone's recovery and factory reset then reboot and voila.

So you say that in a 1 part firmware are the same files as in the three-part firmware? That's nice! ^^

That's very nice...
Before I got my SIII, I used a Galaxy Fit and there I needed all files to flash my Firmware...
That's very nice to hear. Then are the other fields for files only for that if I especially want one of these files and not for flashing a new ROM?
Yes, it's optional. If you want to use for example a Rescue Firmware you'll need much more files and then more options must be ticked

Thanks, and this Rescue ROM is for making a factory condition?
Yes and No. I've just used it as Example to explain why there's more options in Odin. Rescue ROM is for bricked phones, if you flash accidentally with wrong ROM it can bring your phone back to life

Yes, but do not use unless you have too, it contains a .pit file which is the partition layout, .....not to be messed with unless absolutely necessary
