Hi guys
I am trying to flash the official XWKF3 firmware with multi-CSC on my SGS2 with Odin but I'm getting an error just before it even flashes. It either says "Cannot read file" and displays a FAIL in red or it shows "SetupConnection" and stays there forever.
Is there any problem with the firmware file or is it with the phone or pc?
The update you are using is outdated. For stock firmware go to:
Samfirmare.com
Select the correct country!
I use a custom rom.

A Samsung Galaxy S II I9100. The firmware comes in one file (downloaded it from here) and I put it on the PDA section as shown on the guide. I get those two errors.

Hi all
Noob with SGS2, had it about a week and am CF rooted XWKI4 but think i have installed wrong kernel.
When connected to Kies it says "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies" with current firmware version as: I9100XWKI4/I9100XEUKH2/I9100XXKL1/I9100XWKI4 (XEU).
How do I get back to stock firmware so I can update to latest firmware via Kies?
As well got the 'Yellow triangle' and bought a USB jig but triangle will not remove after reboot.
Any replies and any SGS2 rooting help in general would be most appreciated.
regards

Firstly kies doesn't recognise your phone because your running custom firmware, you are running the latest firmware for your phone to this date. To remove you're triangle read the same thread you used to root again second post I think on how to remove the triangle.

Thanks again bubba949, thought i had messed up. Will look at the thread you mention
hi,
why kies doesn't work with lite'ning rom 2.5 in my GS2
thanks
Guess why?
Are you on an official samsung firmware?
Are you with an official kernel from samsung?
Are you unroot?
Are your smartphone stock?
Why your kies does not work? why?
Kies is meant and written to work with samsung phones WITH SAMSUNG FIRMWARES, so if you have done anything with your phone kies probably will not recognize your phone as a samsung phone.
Only for curiosity, why do you need kies?
hi
i wrote "lite'ning 2.5" it mean i have a custom rom, and i want kies to synchronise my contacts

Does not recognize non genuine rom is one reason .

Whatever custom Samsung rom you are on, lies should recognize your device .
1. Check proper drivers are installed via device manager in PC.
2. Check if you have enabled USB debugging in your mobile.
3. Reinstall kies completely

The problème came from the rom and it Need a fix
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Your contacts should sync with your Google account anyways.
Kies is meant to work with official Samsung firmwares. Which Lite'ning is not.
I find Kies a pretty bad program anyways. Unreliable at best. I haven't used it since about 2 weeks after I got my phone, which was about 8 months ago.
Sorry, but i could use kies with custom rom even lite'ning
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Well, then you'll need to provide more detail than just "Kies doesn't work with my ROM, but it used to". That doesn't tell anybody anything, or WHY it possibly doesn't work.
What happens when you try to use Kies? Does your computer still recognize the phone when you plug it in? Etc. Just saying something doesn't work, doesn't help anyone help you.
i'm now on Lite'ning 2.5 and the kies works perfect !
try to reflash your rom again

I reflash my phone 3 times, the problem persists, kies workwith wifi but not with the USB cable, the error message is: impossible to start the service on the device, another problem: the remote control does not work, it crashes the phone and you can not add an account samsung ... and thank you all
Try Kies Wifi. I managed to get Kies syncing with LR 2.5 after some error. Its a bit problematic though.
I think thé 2.6 will resolve the problèm.

Yes, download and flash new rom, Then you have guarantee your phone will boot up because after flashing kernel you might get bootloop too.

This is because you flashed a wrong kernel for your phone.
# Quick question:
Is your phone on Gingerbread, Android 2.3.x or ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich), Android 4.0.x?
# If your phone is on ICS, then download and flash this kernel via Odin: www.gokhanmoral.com/public/files/siyahkernel/v3.0/Siyah-v3.5.2.tar
# If your phone is on Gingerbread, then download and flash this kernel via Odin: gokhanmoral.desean.net/siyahkernel/v2.6/Siyah-v2.6.14.tar

Thanks for that.
I have the I9100BVLPH stock ROM from T-Mobile UK on my phone so I downloaded the correct Chain Fire kernel (CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPH-v5.2-CWM5.tar) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 and this caused the phone not to boot.
Thanks for the link to Siyah, I used the v4.1.5 kernel and it worked great.
Hello there.
I'm in a bit of a trouble so I need some help. I've bought an S2 for my wife from a guy (in Ireland).
The phone was locked on Vodafone so I tried to root it maybe I'll be lucky to unlock it with out paying nothing. So, the phone is on Gingerbread with a BUKJ3 kernel. I've downloaded last night a CF root but by mistake I took a KG3 instead of KJ3. After flashing with Odin 1.85 I got stuck on the boot screen with the yellow triangle.
This morning I've downloaded another kernel as in KJ3 flashed with Odin, the phone is starting but no network coverage, I tried with different Sim cards but nothing so I went in recovery mode and wipe/format data, system, dalvik and cache as factory reset as well. Since that moment the phone won't boot, it gets stuck on the boot screen and yellow triangle.
I can go in recovery mode and download mode with no problem but I can't make it start.
I reflashed the kernel, I don't know what to do and tomorrow is my wife's birthday and I was trying to surprise her with a nice phone but instead looks like she is gonna get a brick ( I hope not)
Thank you guys for any help.

Thank you for the reply. I don't mean any disrespect but for the last 3 hours I'm looking over kernels and forum and my brain is really wired now maybe.
I've had a look at sammobile but I can't find what you've recommended. A more specific link will be more than helpful.
Thank you very much anyway. If I'm getting advises it means I didn't bricked the phone so I might be able to fix it.
Once again thank you.
You just go to sammobile,then register,then firmware and files,then put the info in the 4 fields
eg
Smartphone
Android
Gt-i9100
Then uk/ire XEU (or vodafone or whatever..but unbranded better)
Then youll see a list about firmware version and their release date
Eg
Lpt 4.0.4 ics jul 2012
Lp7 4.0.3 ics apr 2012
So download lp7 4.0.3 and flash with odin.
Then use the rooting guide in my sig
Then do the other things I said.

Thank you very much. In the mean while I've managed to find exactly what you've said in your answer. I've choose the gingerbread version of the ROM cause that was what the phone had when I've bought it.
SO, now is it safe to go on ICS like I did half an hour ago with that Gingerbread rom?
Thank you and sorry about the noob question, never used an Samsung, only HTC.
Yeah just do what I said.......not what you think!.

Did it, thank you very much. The phone start but somehow I've lost my IMEI number and base band. I must be really unlucky.
I've read that Odia can help in this matter but if anybody has any idea, I'll be happy to make a donation for getting back the IMEI number.
Once again thank you very much.

People contact Odia when theres a problem with their efs folder/no backup.
But you should have a backup and a nand backup.
I had the same problem yesterday and I restored efs folder/restored nand backup.....which got it back.
So try that or theres a thread about "restore imei in 9 easy steps".

I know I was stupid enough not to read before flashing, but now it too late to think about that.
the thing is I've never used a galaxy phone until these days and I wasn't aware of all this things and I don't know how to restore this NAND backup IF I have one, as I didn't make any backup before flushing. I hope I'll get some help from somebody and as I've said, a nice donation will be on the way to the helper.
Try GSII repair app.But you have to be rooted.
hi,
i have just rooted my note 2. and i upgraded it to FW 4.1.2
i now have my SG3 running 4.1.1,
i want to upgrade it to 4.1.2, but the fones FW is from another country, that has not released the update 4.1.2
and im in the philippines
i understand i need to root it, so. im asking what is the best way to root it with out installing a rom, i would like to
keep it stock as muh as possible.
i would also like to have cwm recovery installe. i understand equinox root does not install cwm so if i do that method
i cannot do nandroid back up.
please help me and give me a link.

You don't need to root your phone to upgrade it to 4.1.2
Just download a 4.1.2 ROM from sammobile.com and flash through ODIN and you're good to go.

nope: it is recognized by kies (for which the device is up to date in my country). the firmware is ok, I flashed it already on another s3. the message is "cannot open serial port"
EDIT : sorry folks, I just forgot kies running; that's why the serial port was not available for flashing. now everything's fine

Hi guys, I put a custom rom on my s3 and hated it after a week in the mean time my laptop with my back up has died and is inaccessible. Now I have downloaded about 10 stock roms that are apparently for the international s3 and not one of these has worked with keis or let me updated ota also triangle away does not work have done it 3 times and it never resets to 0. What I'm asking is can someone point me to a proper official stock rom. a couple of the ones I have downloaded have also had hidden apks that installed after reboot
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Did you root before running triangle away. Just download the latest firmware from sammobile.com
Then, root your phone and run triangle away. Once finished start up in download mode and flash your new firmware with odin.
Wipe everything and the phone should be back to stock.
Try this site www.sammobile.com u will find the official stock rom for ur country. Search in firmware option

I've used Sam mobile non of them firmwares were any good. Yes phone was rooted before I used triangle away. I got my phone from phones 4 u and it was unbranded so it's not any of the firmwares from Sam the current firmware I have is from Sam and when I plug it into Kies it says (kor) now does that mean it's a Korean version

Well its a simple question if it is a I9300 of putting back your original firmware you saved .
Or using the Kies recover to original method>> for that search it may be a recent post this week . Sorry i dont know dont use Kies .

If you are worried about KIES, just use the "UPGRADE/INITIALIZATION EMERGENCY FIRMWARE" under tools section, enter your model, GT-I9300 in this cas, in capitals, and in the next dialog fill in your S/N, again in capitals.
Then KIES will download your carriers firmware and VOILÁ!!!
1 - Fresh new install (and completely stock).
2 - CSC matches with Samsung's stored database of serials.
ADD: I would recommend to do a reset factory settings first, as this method will left it's traces if you do not so.
