Hey, I have done pretty stupid thing few days ago, I have rooted my phone, and I picked up one of the kernels on here, however I completely forgot to make a note of which kernel was this shipped with... any Idea how could I find this information?
Thanks...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Sorry, for bumping this, does anyone knows how to help me in this? There must be some log inside of the NAND that says what the original shipment was...
The only thing I could suggest is to look for the most current 3 firmware for your region. Try http://samfirmware.com/ - it may help.

Ah, ok, a friend of mine got his SGS2 few days after me from 3 as well, so I assume it will have the same firmware? What are the chances of him getting different one than me, while I was getting it in store, but he got it delivered?
EDIT: Ok, so I got the details from a friend with same phone, so the FW should be as follows:
I9100NEKD5
2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE1-CL181974
[email protected]#2
gingerbread.XWKE1
So, now I am good again, in case something goes wrong, I know which FW to pick to unroot Thanks

Your best is to go to stock firmware and branded firmware posts in dev section and find matching firmware and download it now .
Your product code defines the original firmware .

Thanks, I have most likely located my FW, will download as soon as I come home, now you have mentioned that my product code will determine which FW I had originaly, Where do I find my product code, and where to check that? Also, would not product code give you details about non-branded OS, and then when phone gots branded by provider(three.ie in my case) those might have change?
Ok, seems that I got this resolved and using app called SYSTEM INFO I found most of the information I needed...
JJ, you look like you know some stuff, Hows with rooting and unrooting, is flashing back stock kernel(I have so far only flashed Kernel, nothing else was needed as of yet, this is my first Samsung, so I am trying to get slowly into it) going to remove all traces of root? Or will technicians in Samsung be able to see that its been rooted(in case of warranty repair needed)

Hey guys. I recently rooted my galaxy s2 (Vodafone UK White) using the method of flashing an insecure kernel, then using one click root. My original kernel was I believe i9100BUKI1, I couldn't find the exact insecure version so I flashed i9100BUKE1. I didn't think to backup my original one so I was stuck with flashing back the secure version of i9100BUKE1. The problem I have is that now my phone has washed out colours on the screen and the battery life is shocking.
Is there any place I can get hold of the original kernel that shipped with my phone?
Thanks.

Will that flash the right kernel along with the firmware?
If you flash XX1 firmware it always has XX1 kernel .

I really think I need to have the right firmware. With the stock one my phone randomly turns off and on again. Is there anywhere I can get the BUKI firmware or kernel, I cannot find it anywhere.
I'm also having problems with a washed out screen. I rooted my s2, and noticed that the screen became really washed out, particularly noticeable on the camera and on video playback. It was originally kernel xwkdd. I decided to unroot it and went back to a samsung repair shop. They tried fixing it but it did not work. He now told me that he was waiting for the white s2 screens to come, he would try replace that and if that did not work, then he would send it into samsung. The kernel version is now xwkd6 which i've never heard of or seen on the internet. (for insecure and secure kernels) Shall I try fiddling around or just be patient and get samsung to replace it? If i were to try something, can you tell me what to do? Thanks
I think the only way I can fix mine is by getting the original firmware that I had. I cannot find it anywhere on the internet though. I really need someone to post the kernel or a backup of there rom. Please can someone do this for me?

I have tried all these firmware already, the colours are either washed out, or the phone just restarts constantly. I really don't understand how no one has ever posted this firmware. If you google it, people talk about it but it is no where to be downloaded. It needs the be the BUKI one, not the BUKE or BUKG ones. Definitley not the XX ones.
Please someone post this
just flash one of the ealier one from here and then update via kies to see if you get it back.

I have tried every unbranded and every vodafone firmware now, and all of them have obscure results with my phone.
There must be another unlisted version??
Are you sure it's "washed out" Can you get pics? maybe it's a coincidental hardware fault? I mean.. It should work?
Have you tried fiddling with the display settings? There are various DNIE modes that could be the cause.

I know that passed 6 months,I have the white SGSII Vodafone Spain stock.I have the BUKI1 version.How can I make a Backup of stock ROM and kernel if something goes wrong with rooting and installation of custom ROMS?Can somebody tell me how to backup and I will upload the stock version for this phone.
LE:This is my phone version and I think is the same as the owner of this post:
Hi All,
Nasty lines have appeared across the screen of my sgs2 Had a bit of a search but having a bit of a senior moment and cant find a link to the current official fw
Need to jig and reflash before the phone fails totally
Can anyone help please?
If its to sent to service I'm sure any relative new version of stock Vodafone should work, you don't need to have the latest in order to send it to service since the phone usually packs an older version when you open it from the shop.
Indeed I would settle for any one. Couldnt see one in the official fw thread, Im probably just being blind :/

Yeap. Done. Had issues with Modern Combat 3 lagging in Singleplayer. Hmm, btw, any guides to unroot? Just in case I needa claim warranty
Good man
If you ever need to unroot, in case you have to send the phone in for warranty service or whatever, find your firmware in this thread or if you can't find anything specific to your carrier use the most recent one for your country from here and flash in Odin.
Do a factory reset just to make sure there's no apps laying around on the phone that might tip off whomever repairs it (Samsung) that you've been running non-official firmware on it, and get a jig from eBay to reset the flash counter (do a search for "Samsung Galaxy S2 jig", costs a couple of bucks).
Not sure about the MW thing as I've never played it, hopefully someone else might come along and offer a hand (Maybe change the title of your thread ?).

If theres any award for XDA's most helpful member, think you deserve it. Thanl you so muchhhhh. Really appreciate it
Awwww You're much too kind.
No worries, as long as you read up & follow the instructions for flashing a rom/kernel you should be able to handle things just fine, and given you nailed the CF Root thing first go without any dramas (which is a pretty fair effort, a lot of people who post here seem to have problems with it ), I'm sure you'll ace anything you have a go at

Flash the kernel on it's own. Hard to say why the kernel didn't take when you flashed the full firmware.

flashed the tar.md5 file. Am i suppose to remove the .md5 and change it to tar?
No. Don't have to remove the md5 bit. If you've tried flashing the kernel on its own in the PDA section of Odin as per my last post, try re-flashing the entire rom.

You downloaded & flashed the "official" firmware as per your post on the first page, didn't you ? If you've already tried flashing the stock kernel as I'd suggested & that didn't unroot your phone, try flashing the whole stock package you downloaded again.

Ok, im on stock rom. What I did was to flash the kernel for root. Firmware wasnt touched. So, erm I have to reflash the entire rom. Any links I can refer to? I'm from Southeast Asia - Singapore
I gave you the links to official firmware on the first page. Yes. I told you how to unroot the phone on the first page with those links :-| I'm not going to tell you which firmware to flash, you should be able to work that one out yourself given you mentioned your original firmware on page one as well.
Hi guys i recently updated my Gs2 through kies to the Ics firmware but i really don't like it much and i wanted to flash back the Gingerbread 2.3.5 that was on the phone before but all links that i have found so far with the firmware and kernel seem to be down so can someone provide me with new links?. Thanks in advance.

The link for SAM (Peru) in Intratech's official firmware thread is not multiload, and works.
Alternatively, you can probably find any firmware you want on samfirmware.com, or checkfus.
Does the type of firmware really matter? or will getting the Peru one make a difference in the phone, my phone uses the TTT version so i wanted to get that back, my apologies if i just asked a noobish question but this is my first time at this sort of thing. and also the Sam (peru) link isn't working either.

I honestly don't know what difference there is. Probably just the CSCs, (Country Specific Codes) which may or may not matter for you. Will probably make it so Kies doesn't recognize your phone for update. If you don't use Kies, it probably won't matter. But if you want the TTT version specifically, then, again:

What is it you would like to do? Keep it stock or root it?
start into recovery and do FactoryReset & WipeCache
Did that several times.. still stuck on the logo...

Maybe rooted, just so that I can flash a good stock custom rom... that is debloated, deoxed, good battery, camera etc...I may need suggestion wirh that one too....
I really appreciate u guys replying. .. thnx
You have bigger problems to solve first.
Go to sammobile.com and download the latest stock firmware for your own country.
Follow the instructions on how to flash with odin.
If the flash works then factory reset in recovery, before you try to boot.
If the flash fails then you may find the reason it suddenly stopped working.
Thank u for your response.
Thats the main problem I have. The phone is being used in Ghana now. I could have checked if could get to at lest the screen.
How can I check for the country when the fone wont get me to the screen. On top of that... its stocked and not rooted!
Root is not needed for flashing stock firmware.
Original country is irrelevant, use your own.
Okay sir, will proceed and get back to u...I appreciate the suggestions.
Once you have done what @boomboomer has said then we can help you with rooting and rom's, that is if you still want to root it.

but I dont know the original firmware that came with it. What I do know is that.... its never been rooted or flashed before when bought
Go to a SamsungStore. Perhaps they can find out the country-code by the codes on the label behind the battery. But perhaps there are still other&better idea's...

No, this isn't true.
Only the model number of firmware must match the phone to avoid brick. CSC makes no difference and even region lock is irrelevant, if it worked in that country before.
Make sure you understand details yourself before advising others, although you did no harm in this case.

Okay I got it working one 4.3....thanx so much everyone. Now I wanna root and find a Rom that gives me max battery life...close to the stock as possible and also better camera quality. Also debloated....
Suggestion: NCS-ROM 8.1
Use it since 1 year and return always after trying another rom.
Thank you...will try that one too....am open to other suggestions too.... Roms close to stock but optimized for speed, debloated and very stable.
