Hi there, I'm kind of lost, hopefully someone is willing to help me.
I want to sell my SII (a month old), that I rooted when I got it. Because of the warranty I want to unroot it now, before I sell it. So I went to this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and used Odin to flash install a file with the name
GT-I9100_XEN_I9100CEKI2_I9100XENKH1_I9100XXKI1 (the phone was bought here in the Netherlands, and since I have no idea what the original firmware was, I hoped this would be OK)
I then did a factory reset via the settings>privacy menu. Since it still had all my photos etc. I then did another reset by entering *2767*3855#
I then used KIES to update the firmware. KIES now says Service version: PDA:KJ3 / PHONE:KI4 / CSC:KJ1 (XEN). The phone says:
Baseband: I9100XXKI4
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKJ3-CL647431 [email protected]#2
Build number:GINGERBREAD.XWKJ3.
Since the word root is showing in the kernel version, I'm guessing it's still rooted. Also, when the phone did it's reset etc. it kept saying CSC couldn't access something..?
Can anybody help me out here? Is this phone unrooted? Is the warranty problem solved this way?
Thanks so much.
It will still say root on unrooted devices. Kies has installed a new kernel it would of unrooted it. But for your piece of mind, theres plenty of root checkers on the market.
how much are you trying to get for it?

Hello, sorry if my question had already been answered sometime, I'd be glad if you give me some advice.
I once tried to root my Samsung Galaxy S II using traditional method with odin, superoneclick and insecure kernel. It seemed to go well, but I didn't flashed stock kernel after (so when I reboot my phone, I see a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark, alongside with its name).
The problem is - I can't get an update through the Firmware update in phone settings, as it goes like this: I check for updates through phone settings, it says that an update for firmware is available, then it downloads the package, and goes into reboot, but when everything loads back, it says "Failed to update firmware", try again using PC software (Kies) or visit a Samsung service centre.
And when I try to connect to Kies, it either won't connect, or it would and say that an upgrade is available, I start doing backup and then "data backup cannot proceed because of an unexpected error"
Anyway, I'm ready to flash original firmware, I'm not really sure why I even rooted the phone in the first place. But maybe it's possible to do something to get updates through the phone without unrooting it?
I'm located in Russia, and the info via *#1234# is:
PDA: I9100XEKE2
PHONE: I9100XXKDJ
CSC: I9100OXEKE1
Build info: Fri May 6 07:45:29 KST 2011
Kies says this:
Current firmware version: PDA:KE2 / PHONE:KDJ / CSC:KE1 (SER)
Latest firmware version: PDA:KI4 / PHONE: KI1 / CSC:KI1 (SER)
Any thoughts?
Heh, what are you doing here? You'd better visit this forum. In the header you can find in "Instructions" section the "Instruction for new user surviving". In russian Then read the thread and FAQ. Good luck. It's very easy to solve your "problem".
Or you can read first 3 posts of Intratech's thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Very useful IMO.

My Samsung galaxy S II is rooted and I would like to have new update. In this case what I have to do? Do I have to flash the original XWKE2 Stock Kernel again via ODIN or have to do something else?
Thank you in advance for your help!
yes, you would have to flash the original kernal for kies to work.
If you wan to update, why don't you use Odin and get the latest stock foirmware from Intratech firmware thread?

I've tried with Odin to flash the original kernal in my case XWKE2 but nothing happened. I lost the Download access. The superuser permission is still there and when I try to connect Kies it didn't work. Then I decided to wipe to data and to have factory settings BUT again superuser is there and no access to Kies...
Which of Intratech firmware will be suitable for my phone?
I would like to update my phone that's it. Any help, please.
How about mine.. i9100g how to unroot?

Finally I HAVE UNROOT device))
What I have done so far. First I flash the original firmware which you can find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1075278 . If you NOT sure which one to use check the Build number and try the same firmware. My build number was finishing KE2 so I used XWKE2 even if the rooted firmware was XWKDD !!!!
Then the Superuser icon was still there. I have decided to wipe all my data and to try again to update. Eventually I succeed to update the phone. Even after wiping the data Superuser icon was still there. SO I connected my Galaxy S II to Kies and clicked on the firmware updates and did happened to work ;-)
So now I have Android Version 2.3.5. and NO root access.
Nice;-)
Hi there , hope someone can clear up this for me.
my phone was bought second hand , galaxy s 2 unlocked to any network,
the PDA : I9100XWKE1
phone : I9100XXKE4
csc : I9100XEUKD1
it shows its running android 2.3.3
kernel version 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE1-CL181974 [email protected]#2
i only ask if its rooted already as it says there is an available firmware update , but i cant do ota or through Kies, when i try it says my phone cannot update . i want to be able to update it but ideally not through rooting. ( not confident enough to do that , i'd probably brick it and cant afford to replace a £300 + phone .i owned one previously which i bought from carphone warehouse and was unlocked as i was able to upgrade ota and through Kies . so at a loss here many thanks if you answer .
Install an app from the market which requires root and see if it fails to run.
Or install root checker from the market

just installed something called root check basic which says i dont have root access , so i guess i dont have a rooted phone but am at a loss as to why it says there is a update but wont let it happen, have googled all this and there are other people out there who had identical info to my phone but sadly they too are still in the dark .
Maybe your phone has just been debranded that's why your unable to do updates via Kies, you could ask the seller what carrier the phone was on when they bought it but if I was you would just use odin to flash your roms things come out alot faster on here than Kies.
from your information given i'm pretty sure you phone is not rooted, he/she probably debranded it or installed a different rom for it
What baseband version did the phone came with? You can probably download the Stock ROM that came with your phone and get back to start
Link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278:)
I take it your not comfortable with using odin? Sounds like you might have to flash the original rom via odin or root via cf and install a custom rom via cwm. There's plenty of good guides and people to ask if you've got questions. The cf thread is a good place to start http://forum.xda-developers.com /showthread.php?t=1103399

I found it easier to just flash a ROM with root access already on it. (Lite'ning in my case) That way you then have root and clockwork, which you can then use to flash whatever ROM you so choose.
I just thought it was easier that way instead of having to do them separately.
Don't worry though, I'm sure my dog wouldn't even have a problem flashing a custom ROM via Odin for the S2. It's as simple as pointing Odin to the directory of the desired ROM, make sure no additional boxes are checked and away you go.
= What are you even doing asking whether or not you should root your phone on XDA?! =
ok i have downloaded odin and am downloading I9100XWKE1_I9100XXKDJ_I9100XEUKD1.zip XWKE1 - GT-I9100 which appears to be the latest official uk firmware. got the guide to using odin and will start tomorrow when i finish work. i understand this just updates the firmware. i assume doing this will still mean my phone runs all ok . do i have to root ? i really know bugger all about stuff like this ,
Hi,
i bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 about two months ago, it's a Spanish device. I think the device came with 4.0.1 update of ICS, some weeks after buying it got 4.0.4 update and then using CF-Root 6.4 and Odin 1.85 managed to get root access so i was able to install busybox and UMS application from xda forums. So everything was working fine. Then, about 3 days ago i got an update notification which showed me a message which said "Updates will be provided in the request order preference" or something like this, i tried to update a few times more but no luck, i always got the same messages so i thought i had to wait for 4.1 update to get published but anyway everything was working fine.
The curious thing is yesterday ( August 25, 2012), when i woke up i noticed a firmware update was ready to be installed so went through it (without uninstalling CF-Root 6.4, supersu, etc.) but the strange thing was, after the update completed fine, went to settings to check the version and i saw it still/again was 4.0.4 version of ICS. Also noticed Google Play Books and Google Play Movies got installed so on one hand it seemed everything went fine cause new apps were there and everything worked as expected but on the other hand i think i already had 4.0.4 update installed on the device. Till that point one can think i got confused on the versions i got installed before the update and no major problem here. After that, as i already had root access on the device, i went to check if i still could run UMS app but it complained about missing root access so as i did before that last Android update took CF-Root 6.4 and Odin 1.85 to flash the device and get root access again (Without removing any previous install of CF-Root, super su, busybox, etc. ) but had no luck, so now it's not possible for me get root access again but i'm also still wondering how is it possible that today's update left the phone with the same Android version as before the update.
The only explanation i can find is the phone came with 4.0 version, first update got me to 4.0.1 and today's update guided me to the 4.0.4 but i'm still wondering why root access is not working as it should.
So my questions are, did i got confused about each version update? Then why can't i get root access again just repeating the same first process?
When opening busybox i can read "Not Enough Free Space in /system". Opening /system directory with Root Explorer i can read 1.05GB used, 436.39MB free. Is it right /system directory takes up to 1GB of the space? Why Busybox thinks there is 0.0MB free there?
Hope someone can help. Thanks in advanced!
Thousands of posts say OTA updates may fail if the phone is rooted .
Usual is to fail part way through an update ..
Suggest wipe the phone flash stock rom with Odin then root .

Thanks a lot for the info. Am i going to loose installed apps, system settings, etc when doing the suggested process? Do i really need to wipe the phone before flashing the phone? I suppose i can find stock rom for my model here in the forums. Thanks!!
Hi,
i'm looking for a stock firmware for my SGS3 BaseBand I9300XXLH1 but i'm not able to find it. I think the firmware which came with my phone is unbranded and from Spain. But the question which i'm wondering is, do i really need to flash the phone? Isn't possible to solve the issue in another manner? After updating through OTA the rooted device, what's supposed to went wrong?
Lastly, what's wrong on updating a stock rooted firmware using Phone/Android update system? Don't understand how doing that can break the phone forcing me to wipe data and flash the phone.
Hope someone can help. Thanks a lot!
PD: After rebooting the phone in recovery mode i can see stock recovery has been installed with last update. Hope someone can make a bit of sense about it all. Thanks in advanced.

Get your firmware from here http://www.samfirmware.com/
then use odin to flash it, I had the same problem
Baseband is modem not firmware.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Thanks to both for your answers. Maybe it's stupid but i'm some what more peaceful knowing other people also happened the same issue although it still feels very weird. All i did is flashing with CF-Root 6.4.
I've been looking for the stock firmware which is supposed to came with my phone at sammobile site but i'm not able to find it, although at that point ( where the phone got the same update twice, 4.0.4 ) i don't think i can trust the information provided by the phone. Under phone settings i can see Model Number is GT-l9300 and Base Band Version is i9300XXLH1 but i can't find it no sammobile site. What i find at sammobile site is I9300XXBLH1 ( notice B letter ) but i think that before this weird behaviour happened the phone showed Base Band Version I9300XXBLFB.
Is it all possible or the weird one is me?
Kickasskev, did you got 4.0.4 update twice?
Thanks again to all!
REPEAT BASEBAND IS NOT FIRMWARE nor is it firmware version .
To locate firmware try CHECKFUS .
Or stock providers roms from the sticky on XDA .

0. Remove all root apps from your phone.
1. Back up your rooted rom in cWM.
2. Use triangle away to get rid of the traingle.
3. Format system and cache.
4. Flash an official rom.
5. You should have all your apps + settings on a stock rom without the status being 'modified'.

I've used checkfus and now i know my firmware.
Thanks for the step by step tips, but my phone is not rooted so i cannot use cwm, triangleapp and so. I. Annot also remove cwm manager nor supersu. I suppose i'll have to flash stock firmware first of all. Am i right?
Pretty strange, first time i rooted the device through cf-root6.4 it run flawlessly, but now i had to remove the battery after flashing ( while device was on ) and enter into recovery mode by hand which started the rooting process.
Thanks!
Hello all!
I am a really n00b with rooting and cutom ROMs and I wanted to try this with my old Samsung Galaxy S (GT-I9000) phone. Of course it failed and I managed to brick my phone but after lot of searching and trying I managed to unbrick it After this process I ended up with version 2.2.1 and I would like to know how to get back to version 2.3.6.
This is what I have done so far.
1) I updated my I9000 to version 2.3.6 using Kies.
2) I rooted my phone with CWM but I think that I used too recent version of Odin and got to bootloop.
3) After many tries and scouring the web for information I managed to unbrick my phone.
4) Unbricking ended up my phone being of version 2.2.1.
5) After some tries I managed to connect my phone to Kies again as I wanted to get my phone back to version 2.3.6 but Kies said that my phone was already up to date.
Now I don't know how to proceed.
I wanted to get back to 2.3.6 preferably with stock ROM as I read that after that it is much less risky to proceed to version 4+ than if I tried to do it straight from version 2.2.1.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Just need to find the file for 2.3.6 for your phone and region and presumably just like you did for 2.2.1. Use Odin 1.85 and put the firmware file that is in .tar or tar.md5 format into the PDA slot.
You can go here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and search for your phone and download the appropriate file. There might be a quicker download mirror in the XDA forum for your phone.
Hi
I live in Canada so my model # SM-G925W8. I recently bought this phone from someone and noticed that they had it rooted. So I put it back to official stock and it was at 5.0.2 Lollipop and I know there is a more up-to-date Lollipop version and even a Marshmallow version but when I went to check for updates it said I had the latest official update for my phone.
I was kind of disappointed and rooted my device again...
Anyhow after a week went by I went to "fw.updato.com" as suggested by a XDA thread and download a Marshmallow update for my carrier.
I went to supersu and full unrooted
I fully wiped / resetted the phone
I went to odin mode and installed the Marshmallow update
Okay, so anyhow all seemed fine but when I went to boot up my phone I got a DRK (Device Root Key) issue. I figured id just wipe and try again, I even tried downgrading but it wouldn't let me.
I was very scared my phone was hard bricked. So anyhow I decided to flash CF-Auto Root and somehow that managed to fix or bypass the DRK issue and I booted up into Marshmallow! All seemed good in the world. I however noticed my finger print scanner was no longer working saying it was dirty or whatever but it was working with Lollipop.
Anyhow, long story short , I would like to go back to stock but I keep running into the DRK problem. The only thing that seems to let me boot into my phone is the CF-Auto Root and as long as im root I can never have it as Official.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!
~ I would seriously pay $50 for a working solution, I realize I F* up pretty bad somehow. ~

Use samsung smart Switch To restore it to factory Defaults
Samsung SmartSwitch detects my device and allows me to backup and restore but it doesn't work for resetting.
It says, "Unable to find the serial number, model name, or IMEI on the server"
When I do a manual lookup and when I connect device and try I think it says it can't initialize.
Smart Switch & Kies never worked even when I was on official.
My model is SM-925W8
Can I get the firmware without them?
Model Name - SM-G925W8
When I was on Lollipop
Baseband: G925W8VLU1AOE1
Build Number: LRX22G.G925W8VLU1AOE1
On MarshMallow
Baseband: G925W8VLU3CPC5
Build Number: MMB29K.G925W8VLU3CPC5
Is it possible to downgrade to 5.0.2
download the latest firmware from sammobile n flash it through odin after that try smartswitch again and u cant go back to 5.1.1
Sent from my SM-G925F using XDA-Developers mobile app
Thanks for helping me.
The thing is I already am successfully running Marshmallow it's just that I can't go back to official because everytime I try I get a DRK problem and the only way to make the phone boot up is to flash CF Auto Root. And by doing that makes it unofficial.
Somehow CF Auto Root repairs my DRK but when I get rid of the root I get the DRK problem again.
I have seemed to have found something interesting and quite upsetting.
We all know SamMobile is slow as **** downloading firmwares so I got mine from Updato
Well , I just had a look on SamMobile and there is no Marshmallow available for the SM-925W8 yet in Canada it seems. So Updato somehow probably gave me firmware for SM-925F.
If my prediction is correct and downgrading isn't possible...this would mean I would have to wait for a official release of the firmware for the Canadian models.
My only question is WHEN and when that time does come will it actually fix my DRK problem...
[EDITED]
I could be very wrong with my prediction and simply just have the wrong firmware on my phone.
Okay, yes, it does seem I am running a Canadian Marshmallow actually...So why is it im having DRK problems, verification error checks and my finger scanner no longer works
Interesting thing about my phone, is when it was official...it wouldn't let me go pass update 5.0.2...said I had the latest version for my phone
