So i live in saudi. Bought an ace and it came with the JPKC2 firmware. Thats the 2.2.1 middle east firmware. I've been into flashing roms lately. But if I ever want to go back to stock i have to flash the europe or asia firmware because the JPKC2 firmware on samfirmware.com isn't working.
It's a one package file in samfirmware. I downloaded and extracted the tar, downloaded the ops, opened odin, checked "one package", chose the tar file and the cooper ops and started the process. When it came to the close port and reboot step, the phone wouldn't boot. I mean it won't even turn on, at all!!! power button didnt do anything. removing and re-inserting battery, nada....... nothing. download mode still worked so i could just switch to other roms. But i'd really like the option of switching back to the firmware it came with. Are the files corrupted on the site? DId I do something wrong? THing is, this happened a while ago. And today i decided to give it another shot. this time, while flashing in odin it came to the 'system.rfs' step and just got stuck there. Can anyone please tell me what to do? I even tried googling JPKC2 but the link everyone puts up on the net is the same one package. What do I do? Thanks.
You could try hard resetting your phone and flash the froyo version of cwm recovery to backup your current rom. You could flash gingerbread/custom roms safely after that.
Cheers
In one package there is many time prob
first flash multipackage kph then your desired one package firmware thats only solution

Are you saying I should first flash some other multi package froyo firmware and then flash the jpkc2 one package in odin? Or are you saying i should flash the actual KPH firmware and then the one package? I'm asking because XXKPH is android 2.3 while the one i'm trying to flash, JPKC2,(arabic fw) is android 2.2.1. will that actually work?......... just wanna double check. I already have DDKC1, asia FW 2.2.1. can i just flash that and then the one package??

have you gone to recovery and wiped data?
or find a firmware which wipes the data off the phone, i think the KL1 firmware does this.
buddy i cant get into clock work or any other sort of recovery as my home button does not work
can you link me to the correct firmware
would be appreciated xmas good will
you can find the original kernels and firmwares here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
search and subscriptions are a handy thing to have. Merry x-mas, hope you get to unbrick your phone!
cheers guy ive been to that site you have linked but still no avail when flashing the stock orange uk ones for my phone will take your advice nex and look for a kl1 to wipe the date
it really doesnt matter which one you flash, just flash the one which wipes your device completely and then flash back to the firmware of your manufacturer.
do you know any of the top of your head which flash them phone whole???
Please read the whole guide that is in the link and then use one of the firmwares that include "This firmware will wipe your device!" warning... for example DXKG3.
heres the firmware and files im using
if you're from UK use this KI3 Wipe firmware http://www.multiupload.com/NJV6PR87Y3
it should do a wipe therefore making you're phone bootable. go back into download mode and install speedmod kernel, which would also root your phone automatically. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182498 ( flash speedmod-kernel-s2-k2-18-Odin.tar in odin).
use something like ROM manager to get into recovery mode and install VillanROM http://www.villainrom.co.uk/SGS2/VR3.0beta.php and a kernel of your choice and away you go
Hi guys,
as you know some days ago, Samsung has leaked their SGS2 ICS firmware, which I learnt on sammobile.com.
In their article, was a tutorial to install it, so I did.
I tried it a bit, but have been desapointed, so I decided to flash back to MIUI.
Thus I first flash another kernel, but here my trouble start.
Long story short, if I don't use the leaked, buggy firmware, I have a "Kernel panic - upload mode" and Kies does not recognize my phone to flash it back to stock.
I figured out that in the tutorial I have been told to change some file I've never flashed (like the pit, the modem and I think the CSC). Files that I don't know anything about. So I thought that those files weren't compatible with previous kernel etc. but as I don't know much, I can't be sure...
So I am know with a very buggy phone (for instance, I cannot be phoned, but I can phone to people) or a kernel panic. Help please :/
By the way, if someone could explain the meaning of those files, it would be cool, not to do the same mistake again.
And as I think : in all the tutorials using ODIN, it's said the I must not check "re-partition", what is it about ?
Thanks, and sorry for my poor English
Some updates here.
I thought yesterday, as there were those files (.pit, csc and stuff) in the downloaded archive on sammobile to flash leaked ICS, there were in the others firmware too, and I was right.
So this morning I flashed back to official 2.3.6 and it worked well. Then I flashed to xcell kernel (for Miui) and tried to flash MIUI 2.1.6. The kernel flash worked, as I rebooted normally but after flashing MIUI, another kernel panic :/
Did you wipe before flashing MIUI?
I did it after flashing, but still before rebooting.
Is that a mistake ?
If you wipe after flashing then your phone won't even boot.
So I think you did not wipe at all.
Yes I did, and I tried once again just now, wipping before flashing, but after the Samsung GS2 logo, still the kernel panic screen.
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Then read and learn before flashing anything else .
jje
Where can I find the correct stock firmware ?
I'm kinda lost with all the versions and stuff.
And when flashing, I would like to know what I do, but noone, nowhere, explains what we do, just "do that stuff and it will be good".

You shouldd stop flashing and start READING THE BASICS you are flashing test roms from complete ignorance .
Stock firmware here you should know what your firmware is .
Stock Roms .and csc

Ok, I admit it, I was dumb doing it :-/
So now I am under stock both kernel and rom (2.3.5) and Kies says that there is an update but my phone isn't ok to do it, but that is not what I want.
I wanted to reset my phone through Kies to be sure all would be set to stock, but now Kies doesn't let me do it, there is no option to do it.
I think that the rom, even if official, is not good for my phone.
On the topic you linked, I choosed XXKI4 (France, if I understood well) for the rom.
Kies says my version is "I9100XWKJ2/I9100XEFKJ1/I9100XXKI4/I9100XWKJ2".
And my phone says :
- Banseband : I9100XXKI4
- Kernel : 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKI4-CL611039 [email protected] #2
- Version number : GINGERBREAD.XWKJ2.
Is that all ok ?
What I would like to do is flashing MIUI 2.1.6, so is it good to do it now ?
Make sure you have flashed back the old bootloaders, see this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21146446&postcount=2
Ok so I flashed an old bootloader then a custom kernel and to finish the latest MIUI and everything went well !
Thank you, guys !
Hello! I'm really interested in trying Litening's ROM and I've tried multiple times. I've followed the instructions EXACTLY as written. I searched around the forums and also tried running the Kernel Cleaning Script before flashing but to no avail.
No matter what I do, after Odin finishes flashing, my SGSII boots up to the dreaded Kernel Panic Upload mode....
The ROM from which I'm trying the Litening ROM flash is ICS 4.0.3 XXLPB.
Please help and thanks!
One download a new copy .
That fails try a different rom .
jje
sometime it happened to my phone also.
not with specific rom,but i happened.
If coming from ginger,did u update your bootloader,if not flash with 512 pit file and tick repartition,then flash with Odin
Right way to flash with Odin
1 open Odin
2 set the files(rom)in Odin
3 reboot phone into download mode(fully recharged battery
4 connect to odin
5 wait for for Odin to confirm your phone(03 or 07) and flash
6 phone reboots...done
Kernel panic uplod mod
This is really a PAIN giving PANIC now....
People who flashed freshly ICS rom including Bootloade have also got this PANIC,
I have never flashed an ICS rom from ODIN, flashed ICS from CWM on my GB, I have got once since I installed 2 days back....
I was thinking that, this virus was spread from leaked ICS version but no, this PANIC is there from 2010, people who upgraded from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 also had got this...
ONLY SAMSUNG KNOWS WHY THIS IS HAPPENED
it is not caused by any KERNEL,
it is not caused by any Bootloader
it is not caused by any version of firmware
something somwhere a mismatch between firmware and hardware happens...
Only a remedy for this issue is to Keep on changing the ROM until you get the one without this issue.....
Thanks to all for your replies.
I indeed downloaded a fresh copy, also tried different versions, same result.
ZACQ8, I actually read another reply you posted somewhere else about flashing stock GB first then trying to flash the Litening ROM, haven't tried it yet, but will try it and then report back.
Greetings,
I have a German T-Mobile GSIII that asked to update itself tonight. The current baseband is BOLF1, it attempted to update to BLH3. The update failed with a code 7. I have CWM loaded and also the Siyah 1.5.2 kernel. I am downloading the full BLH3 file from SamMobile, do I just flash that with CWM or do I need to do something else. I have seen comments on the various boards about opening the .zip and changing a setting to supress version checking, but I am not sure if I need to do that or if that is related to the JB leaks.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks
Mike
Bump for more visibility.

Never take official OTA's when on a custom ROM. If you really want the official OTA, either wait until a rooted version is released, or if you can't wait just go to SamFirmware, download the full ROM (not the OTA file) and flash it with ODIN. It'll overwrite everything except your external SD card.

Thanks for the help. I am on stock except for the kernel, not sure if the kernel counds as a custom ROM or not. I guess it does. I had renamed a ton of the origional apps (added .bak to the end) causing verification errors. I am slowly going through and fixing each of them. I have the full ROM from SamFirmware (the origional BLFB not the latest) so I should be able to fix this.

It's because OTA ZIP's that are downloaded to the phone only contain the parts of the ROM that need updating, not an entirely new ROM. You can, however, download the update as an entire ROM from SamFirmware.
I flashed a custom ROM on a friend's phone, but it didn't have a Chinese interface, which my friend wants. When I downloaded a stock ROM from Samsung Updates, it refused to install. That ROM was type CHT, and I see there is also a TWM for Taiwan, as well as a 4.0.4 WAN. Any idea how to determine which is the correct ROM? I didn't know it made a difference. My friend's phone was bought at Chunghwa Telecom, so the CHT ROM should have been correct.

Check with www.sammobile.com
Of course. That's how I know there are CHT, TWM, WAN, and BRI ROMs for Taiwan. The question is which is the right one. I was hoping someone had an idea. I mean, obviously I can try them all, but there's no MD5 check on these downloads, so if I get file corruption it will just make that ROM appear to be the wrong one.
I've downloaded and installed all three Tawan ROMs: CHT, TWM, and BRI, but the recovery immediately aborts installation on all of them. I'm pretty sure that BRI is the correct one because I bought the same phone from the same place as my friend two years ago, and I used BRI. Any clues? It's just bizarre that I can't install a stock ROM, yet Wanam Lite installed no problem and runs fine.

You flash CUSTOM ROMs via recovery, not STOCK.
Flash via Odin.

But they're zip files. I thought we can only flash zip files via recovery?
Unzip it, you should get a couple of tar files.
Sent from...this is not even my S2
D'oh! Of course. I had originally glanced inside the zip file and just assumed without looking closely. I now see there's a .tar.md5 in there, so I should have know to use Odin and not flash from recovery. thanks.
