I only received my S2 a few days ago and being completely new Android i decided to keep things as simple as possible flashing the latest Checkrom in order to get rid of the stock Vodafone UK bloatware.
I did this simply by flashing CF-Root via Odin and then flashing the Checkrom zip via CWM. This is the sum total of my flashing experience.
In order to be able to return my phone to out-of-the-box stock i downloaded 'GT-I9100_VOD_I9100BUKJ3_I9100VODKI2_I9100BUKI1.exe' and 'Kernel_I9100BUKJ3.exe' from the carrier branded stock firmware thread.
However, after running each .exe (a 7zip extract) i am left with GT-I9100_VOD_I9100BUKJ3_I9100VODKI2_I9100BUKI1.tar.md5 and Kernel_I9100BUKJ3.tar.md5.
Given that these are neither regular .tar files or .zip files i'm unsure of the correct procedure for flashing them. I have read a bunch of threads about flashing stock kernals and roms but i'm still not 100% about what software/tools i need to use to flash them and in what order (kernal or firmware first).
If anyone could help me out i'd really appreciate it.
Thanks

[ROMS]Official i9100 carrier branded firmware download for Odin Flash
In an effort to keep things simple and avoid confusion I have moved all the carrier branded firmware to this thread.
The guide for flashing and rooting your device can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1075278
Its usual to follow the relevant instructions regarding whatever flash is used .
As the man says on the instruction page
I've started to package the tarball archives with the md5 hash to maintain the integrity of the packages. Just treat the tarballs in the same way as you would without the .md5 at the end. DO NOT CHANGE THE NAME OF THE ARCHIVE

I recently bought a Galaxy S II here in Australia and it came with a stock Samsung firmware. Typing *#1234# gave this information:
PDA :- I9100XWKF3
Phone :- I9100XXKE7
CSC :- I9100XSAKE3
I have been flashing the phone over the weekend with custom ROMs but I didn't like any of them (some of them would not even connect to samsung's Kies software). I have been trying to find which firmware would restore my phone to its just-bought condition, but I can't seem to locate it in the SamFirmware.com firmware list.
Help please? Thanks.
Stock firmware or provider firmware in Dev section.

Actually, I've already been there. My problem is that, confronted with the unexplained alphabet soup that is the firmware names, I still can't seem to find one which matches the above details. Unless there's a convention I don't know.
information can be found on the following page. the last 5 letter+number in your PDA and Phone info are what you need to match the stock roms to your phone (in this case, XWKF3 and XXKE7). instruction is at the top of that page as well. hope it helps, buddy. best of luck!

Looks like you've trashed your phone with repartitioning and flashing a kernel as a bootloader. What guide were you following which told you to do this?
I would expect this is a rather sheepish trip to a Samsung Service Centre.
is there any thing to do ?
if you've repartitioned then its off to Samsung i'm afraid. Which guide did you follow?
i follow one of arabic guide
is there any box can fix this ?
It might not be completely bricked. Try really hard to get into download mode. If that still works, flash a stock firmware from Intratechs thread with his guide, with one .tar file only. This is how I unbricked mine after I put the wrong stuff in the wrong Odin box.
Its not bricked. Its at the second 'download mode' point. Go to intratechs official software thread in original development thread and follow the directions in the first post.
When using odin, make sure you arent running kies at the same time. Odin and kies dont mix well.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
someone told me that it need a full software with box and it will work
is that true
Hi guys,
I'm really sorry if a question like this has been answered, but I'll try my best to keep it brief.
So, I got a new blue 16GB SGS3 from Vodafone Australia today, and the stock firmware was a Vodafone branded one.

At the moment, that particular official firmware is not available for download, so I wanted to know how I can make a backup of it so it's like the type you can flash via ODIN.
In other words, I want to save it as a tar.md5 file so I can flash it back to stock in case I have to claim warranty etc. in the future.
Can someone give me a short description as to how this is done, or if possible, just link me to a full How-To thread?
Thanks for your time!
Answer is not before root .
But you can use CHECKFUS to download the original firmware or its update if its on the Samsung Server .
That can be flashed via Odin .
Or you can look for that firmware in the stock rom thread or on sammobile.com .

Thanks for the reply.
As far as I know, my current Vodafone branded firmware is not available at sammobile.com or the Official Firmware thread yet, hence the initial idea of backing up my own one.
Other than doing it AFTER root with something like CWM, is there a way to backup the current kernel?
Thanks
Hi guys, I have a Galaxy S3 (international model) which I'm having odin problems with. I was running 4.0.4 stock ROM with cfroot isntalled and I flashed it via odin just fine. Then 4.1.1 came along so I tried flashing it via odin but it was hanging for 10 minutes on the "get PIT for mapping". So I ended up flashing 4.1.1 BTU ROM via Kies and everything went fine. This of course removed my root permissions.
So I've tried to reflash cfroot back to the phone and I'm getting the same error message. I'm also getting the error while trying to flash any stock ROM. So how do I go about fixing this?
Things I've tried so far: using odin on a PC that's never had Kies; using a win XP PC; removing my SD card; performing a factory reset; reinstalling the usb driver; redownloading cfroot. I've tried everything I can think of. Is there anything else I can try?
Or is there a way to root my S3 without odin? I'll appreciate any help. I've done a lot of searching but I haven't found anything to help.
TL: DR I get the error message "get PIT for mapping..." from odin when trying to flash anything. What do?
If I were to try flashing a XXDLJ4 .pit file along with the ROM itself, would that fix it? If so, does anybody have that .pit file?
This is what my result is each time.

Hello all I hope someone can help me out here?
I am trying to install Magisk on my Samsung A10S A107F device. I have got a stock set of firmware, which I have used with ODIN 3.14.1 to recover the phone after a couple of errors that I made during my learning process, so I know that ODIN and my stock F/W works. The stock F/W is Android 9.
Here's my problem, whenever I try to flash a Magisk patched AP to the device, ODIN stops at RQT_CLOSE!! and does nothing else. No success or failure, just stops there. I feel like it I am doing something obviously wrong but cannot figure it out. After around 5 minutes, it does timeout and then show a failure.
I've Magisk patched the whole AP file from stock and also extracted the boot.img only and patched a tar or that as well, but exactly the same result.
I've watched a number of videos on the process but can't see any difference.
Is there something security related that's being tripped in the Samsung F/W to prevent the new patched boot/AP flashing?
The OEM unlock option is on and greyed out in my phone's Developer Options menu.
After ODIN fails/stops, the phone can be restarted and is just the same as it was before.

Did you try another USB port or another USB Cable?
If yes, then try another ODIN version.
Final resolution is to try to flash from another PC or laptop.
