[Q] Modified bootloader in 2.3.4 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does this mean that after flashing the stock 2.3.4 update we can no langer flash roms with Odin, an can this be undone with an older bootloader as on Intratech`s thread?

If you mean new sbl.bin (secondary bootloader) you may use the old one. It doesnt affect flashing via Odin. It affects the possibility of using Jig only. (thnx to Odia).

The bootloader has already been defeated. You can flash the tarball with the old bootloader using Odin by putting it in the bootloader or PDA section of Odin if you've already flashed the new one. The firmware packages that are in the firmware thread have the bootloader stripped out already. The updated bootloader won't affect any normal operation, only modification I can identify with a quick look and Odia has confirmed is that they have changed the routine to reset the unsigned binary counter so you can't just reset it using a Jig.

[Q] How to use bootloader in Odin?

I have downloaded my Rom from samfirmware, I checked the file and as usual there are PDA,Modem,CSC files in addition to that there is a bootloader file which Im not sure how to use it in odin 1.85, shall I put it in bootloader section? and if so shall I activate the "phone bootloader update" on left side of odin?
thanks
Unless you own an I/O edition of tab, I don't recommend bootloader file. As the bootloader file besides locking the bootloader (if repartition selected in odin) replaces fastboot with recovery in boot screen (keys combo). Hence be careful in flashing bootloader!
Place bootloader in bootloader, tick auto-reboot and Reset time only, and flash. The samfirmware roms for p7510 have been uploaded in development section by me to motivate discussions related to issues. If flashing a touchwiz rom, I recommend the arabic rom from development section. Its taken from samfirmware, but as their edition had issues I repacked it hence error free. The touchwiz in this rom is more polished release version!
Thanks for your help , already done after your instructions and successful
I have 3g version of the tablet and used the 4 files
PDA
CSC
Modem
bootloader
repartition and phone bootloader update not activated
and had a successful flashing
by the way the JPKG6 seems to have less problems as I dont see any auto rotation lags and more smooth scrolling in this rom

Bootloader vs Recovery tar

So I'm confused. I am in the process of flashing CM 10.1 to my Tab, but rading instructions I see that I have likely the Honeycomb bootloaders on my tablet. I used Odin to flash my new recovery and that went well, but now I'm confused by the Bootloader. It is a zip file and it won't flash thru Odin. When I did the recovery.tar did that flash the bootloader for me? do I need to flash anything else.
If you have access to official ICS 4.0.4 firmware you can update to it through Odin which if successful automatically gives you the right bootloader, provided you flashed the firmware for the designated regions in the CM 10.1 OP. However, since you already have the bootloader, extract the zip file and flash the bootloader contained therein via odin. So choose the option you prefer.

I dont have s20 so Im limited what I can make
If tokens can be updated to flash higher bootloaders then I will adjust files accordingly
This works great! I flashed the entire U1 DUB7 update with the force wipe with BL files in the USERDATA slot. Everything went well.
Tried this on my G981V and failed on (auth). Was worth the try although I soft bricked my phone lol

The ones without bootloaders will work. The NO_BL ones. Probably have to use the force wipe one
So, if I have the S20+ (US Cellular) and want to try the 3.1 firmware:
1.) Download the firmware
2.) Put your file for it into user data field in Odin
3.) Put in AP, CSC (home or whatever to not overwrite my USC one I think) and the rest EXCEPT for the bootloader into Odin
4.) Flash as usual and then everything should work. I'll keep my unlock and be able to use the 3.1 firmware?

I did it that way, used the BL included file and flashed all the stock files, after the full wipe everything that I needed was included. Worked great, on UI 3.1 rn
It worked for me also, thanks for making this.

I tried brom tp but i don't have the right scatter files. Can anyone help me SOLVE my problem that I caused.
What scatter???
You can't flash idividual files just like that.
You can only flash stock firmware, if you want other then you need to unlock bootloader and root your device!
So you need to flash latest right stock firmware with right region using ODIN in order to fix your device....
