Odin is a Samsung tool used for flashing firmwares. You dont even have to root
Just download the proper files, boot into download mode on your phone, and use Odin to flash them.
It's actually said to be more reliable than Kies updates, plus you get to use the latest updates without having to wait for the official release on your region

this should help
just download whichever firmware you want and follow the instructions
does the 3g work on I9100XXKP2 and if not then I would want the best stock update.

any firmware should work to some degree. If you feel the signal is weak or 3g speeds to be slow, you can flash the modem best suited for your network.

I would recommend waiting for a better ICS build and just flashing something else in the meantime.
It's really not ready for everyday use, IMO. I tried it and went back after a bit.

Thanks to 'cascader' I have used a program to extract the Stock ROM for our Three UK Galaxy Aces. Thanks again 'cascader'!
The zip file contains:
Cooper_v1.0.ops - Partition table etc. for the Ace ONLY
SS5570_Odin_Multi_Downloader_v4.38.exe - Odin 4.38 - To flash the firmware
S5830XWKT5_S5830H3GKT3_S5830NEKT2_HOME.tar.md5 - The firmware
SS_DL.dll - This file is used ONLY by Kies so is un-needed
This is a ONEPACKAGE file meaning you only need the cooper.ops file and the firmware to flash. If you do not know what you are doing - http://lmgtfy.com/?q=galaxy+ace+odin+onepackage+flash or http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-flash-official-stock-firmwares.html

will i need to convert filesystem back from ext 4 or will flashing do this?
my phone was on O2 but after failed attempts at finding the firmware for it, i just stuck an unbranded stock from asia on there...works wonders
It has to be flashed by ODIN @PJ147 Use the included files for ODIN and the instructions from either link
@King Kaze - I was using UK XEU but it was only 2.3.3, This is 2.3.6 and includes Three's network tweaks which makes my 2G roaming a bit better, but completely useless still. I have to wait 2 minutes for 0.facebook.com to load on Opera! If I use Opera on any other phone on 2G m.facebook.com loads quickly. I'm thinking it's Three restricting how fast things can download/tx-rx on 2G, Their websites load alright in seconds... I asked them about this and they denied that they restrict speeds on 2G which makes me laugh.
0.facebook should load faster than all the other facebook sites because it barely has anything
Yeah, It should but Three restrict my 2G speed so it loads really slowly :L

Is this stock rom rooted? And if so, how do you go about unrooting it?
is better than DDKQ8?
@Swiftkilla - I don't know sorry, I regrettably got rid of the phone after I posted this so I didn't check
@kevo02 I don't recommend it for you. I see you're from Costa Rica and on 'ICE' - This rom is made by Three UK so I only recommend it on Three's phones. Sorry!
Note: I won't be checking this thread much, I don't really come on XDA and I sold my Galaxy Ace back in February I will still help though if you need anything
HI I tried doing everything like you said. It wont register on 3 network and when u dial it says mobile network unavailable, any advice would be good

Are you able to tell me which firmware you used? I'm like you and cannot seem to find any o2 firmwares anywhere on the internet, even though they are listed on their own website!
Is your IMEI still present? *#06# from dialer, should be 15/16 digit number

I have the latest Sammy USB drivers at hand and I'll try it again once installed, but in the mean time, have anybody else faced a similar issue?

As previously suggested, try other firmware. Forget Kies, its crap and only check for updates for your specific firmware, not elsewhere.
Try the link above i posted or http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9300here for newer releases.
Just follow the guide by Intratech (he also has some official firmware) for flashing with Odin. Could not be simpler. Just backup anything to PC before hand, and then follow instructions exactly.

really appreciate your help with this but just have a couple more questions
i assume that with odin i can flash any of the firmwares and it dosent matter that my phone is locked to orange (well i believe it is). The phone itself has no orange branding or apps installed.
The other thing i am not sure about is which firmware i should use for a uk handset on orange. If i use a generic firmware will that cause problems with the radio's etc?
The other thing is how do i know what the latest is...i mean i might already have it on my device....it says i have 4.04 on it but are there various versions of this?
Sorry if it seems im being lazy about this but just want to be sure i am using the right one.
thanks again for your help

I believe so, should be same as SGS2. Phone lock should be "sim" lock not locked bootloader.
You can flash the modem or kernel as individual packages if need be.
In phone dialer, *#1234#
Ie. Firmware ending in LE7 is older than LE8
Don't forget to backup anything important to PC first. Best to factory reset first in recovery and then immediately boot into download mode to flash. Follow Intratech guide exactly and shouldn't be a problem.
Just make sure you flash any full package as .tar.md5 file. Zip won't work with Odin.
For thanks if you feel like it

Greetings!
My mom has a Galaxy S2 which has some rebooting problems (it randomly reboots once or twice a day, and loses a lot of battery as a result?). I am thinking this is because there is a firmware problem (although it could be hardware too).
I wanna try and flash the international samsung firmware on the phone instead of the 3 Denmark (Three) branded one I currently have on, and see if that resolves the problem. I am not sure if I have the right branded firmware either, since I tried to edit the build.prop file when I left and managed to get my device stuck on a bootloop while I was on a 12 hour plane ride (now without music lol), and I flashed the only 3 branded firmware I could find.
So, can I turn this into an "international version"? And why do you think it reboots?
Hi, I don't know about rebooting but your mom phone(battery) has insane fuel gauge chip(everyone has it) that chip takes battery level ... sometimes it adds battery level.
Maybe try to flash xxlsj jb leak ?
Regards,
Paulius
Spoiler
XDA the best
P.S. Correct me if I am wrong
Yes, you can. About the reboots, see if the international firmware helps.
Attached is a picture of how I lose battery, can someone give me a link to the international firmware version? Maybe not the most new one so I can install it and have an OTA update so I know that works. All the CSC codes and stuff makes me confused.
Do you think this is a software or hardware problem?
Also, how strict is Samsung about rooted devices and RMA?
Thank you very much!

Thank you, but I did not want the "beta" build, I wanted the international ICS build (hopefully the one "before" the latest one, so I could OTA to the latest one to make sure that worked)

This is not that beta.
I was on ICS, tried JB leak and trust me, I'm never going back to that ROM.
Anyways, It's your choice, I just layed it out there for you.
Can I flash it via the stock recovery? Can I revert to ICS or does it patch like bootloader and recovery too?

JB? try Odin.
You can always go back to ICS if you want to.
In all honesty I really just want a firmware version I can flash via stock recovery then update via OTA or KIES. This is my moms phone, I will play around with custom roms and beta releases on my Nexus 4 when it's done being repaired
Actually the major reason is that I do not wanna flash another bootloader and stuff like that if I have to deliver the phone to get repaired. Then it's gonna be a pain to return for repair

ICS 4.0.3 Unbranded is your best bet. Just like a out-of-the-box device ready to get the Jelly bean update via OTA/Kies.
I have downloaded the file from Sammobile, it contains two files:
I9100XWLPG_I9100HTDLP4_I9100NELP4_HOME.tar.md5
SS_DL.dll
Do I flash this via ODIN or what? Don't I need more files for that?

You will need a PC. If you were rooted you could download the flashable zip and have it. But again you need a PC to root!
Sorry!
So you don't know anyone with a PC?
You don't need to be rooted to flash the zip version -- you just need CWR or TWRP.
So, have you installed a recovery?
I havn't installed recovery yet, im new to this, but do I download a recovery and then once I do this, what would I use to flash? Ty

From a pure stock phone:
Plan A: Download Kies software (google for it). Install Kies software, connect phone to pc, and let the phone upgrade to 4.1.2. Phone will be pure stock JB.
Plan B: Download JB update file from development section. Download Odin3 software - find it by googling "odin3 1.85". Then run odin software, reboot phone in download mode, connect to pc, and install JB update. Phone will be pure stock JB.
Plan C: Wait a few days and you will get a software update notification. Accept the terms, and phone will update itself to pure stock JB.
If you don't have access to a pc you will have to wait a few. The last ICS update took only four days to hit the phones after the release on the world wide interweb.
I updated but its really not different than 4.0.4 ICS . . . No new features but lots of extra bloatware from at&t.

It is highly doubtful that this update will be released as an OTA. Better start looking for a PC or go to a friends house.
Why not, Amigo? And do you think that will leave out Canadian phones too?
Almost 800MBs is quite high for an OTA update especially since this is a totally new OS with different partitioning. More likely it will be a Kies update only. Should be no difference for Canadian versions once released. Time will tell and this is only my educated guess by experience. I know I have read that it can be received OTA but nobody that I have seen has reported it yet.
Probably right. But at&t could break the update into two parts. They did that on a big windows phone update a few years ago. Just a speculation.
I know at least telus made the ics update ota..
It's doable, not even that outlandish really, cause Going from ics to jb would be pretty much the same as gingerbread to ics...
oem roms of all 3 android versions have been relatively the same size and partitioning can be done on device within the update script.
It being possible and them doing it are different arguments though lol
ok, so it seemed my digitizer was broke on my old phone so i have bought another s2 (yes its pretty old now but i like it and got used to it).
it is on gingerbread android version 2.3.5. everythin works as it should. only thing i dont like about it is the layout of it as i have been used to 4.1.2 jb.
do i update to the latest firmware 4.1.2 or do i leave it? as it seemed there were others having rotation issues with latest JB. Or will i be fine as my old phone was broke.
thanks

Yeah....your phone will prompt you to update.....usually via kies air.......
But be advised, if you kies air it, the update will be an incremental one rather than a 'full' one.....it minimises the cost of transferring the data to your phone over the (in most cases) 3g network. If you want the 'full' update, connect your phone to your PC/laptop via USB and do it that way........
