hey,
I want unbranded (unlocked) stock roms of galaxy s2.. i searched samfirmware.com and i got a file with .tar.md5 extension. not sure to how to use it.. i flashed ics 4.0.3 fw and i really want to get rid of it. its really very much buggy. need something good now. so want to rever back to stock rom till ics gets out.. so guys please guide me... i know this question is answered many times but i cant find thread related to it.
*sigh* this is devepment not questions about ROMs. The Official Firmware thread here by Intratech has what you need. You use the md5 file with Odin. Intratech's thread has all you need.

because the answer is in the thread
Plus this forum is full of lazy bastards who wont read page one wont search and expect others to spoon-feed them .
How the f&&& should i know the answer i would find the answer by reading the bloody instructions . Am i supposed to do that then post those instructions for him .
Thats compounded by self righteous fxxx that have no interest a=in anything but their own ego .We really need a kindergarten section .
Yes i am peed of with posters like you and incompetents like the original poster makes trying to help the genuine users a why the fxx should i bother .
Dont bother with your small minded reply you can answer the helps from now on you are promoted i retire defeated .
jje
Gz for being ignorant...seriously...its so hard to give him a short answer instead of posting the whole thread etc...
It would be easier for you and for him if you just gave him a short reply...gosh
this section is already for questions
You search for the thread and link him to it...which was quite more work insteadt of saying "yes you can flash it via odin"
When I first started I had to learn everything by following instructions... To the letter. If I hadn't, I would have bricked my phone.
Just read the goddamn threads first... ****.

How do I get this? How do I flash this with odin? What do I tick in odin? PDA, phone? Why cant I flash speedmod in cwm?
...
JJE posted the thread and instructions. Above is something a newb not all newbs but some probably would of asked if you just answered yes. They hear words like odin, flash, etc etc without knowing how to use it and such.
However OP sounds as though he may know how to do this and just wanting clarification in which case yes would be enough. But if OP knew what speedmod kernel is then OP should have known the answer if they had read that thread.

Stop trolling this thread...as you can read from the OP you can see he already have flash knowledge cause he already flash the cf-root.. so why you treat him like a total noob..instead of saying yes..stop trolling
so epic how you ppl can be trolling someone...if you are annoyed by noobs then stop reading in the FAQ section....

Hey, everyone needs a good laugh. don't be a sour noob.
First of all do you have Odin? Did you read Intratech's Odin thread? Did you even go to his thread? If not, read up here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278&highlight=stock+firmware
If links don't work for ROMs (I suggest downloading LA4 if you want Gingerbread, best Gingerbread ROM out there) then google the firmware name and look for a mirror. Ever since the whole download site crackdown, it's been hard to keep good mirrors, which is why you have so many dead links.
BATMAN-- OUT!
I have odin and i have looked at Intratech's thread and have read it multiple times trying to figure it out but not helping..the more i read, the more confusing it gets...sorry for being a sour noob...just frustrated
I flashed the phone using odin the gingerbread rom and then when i was following Intratech's guide on rooting the phone, the program he has listed both freeze and stop responding

difference between android development and original development is simple. android development is roms basically with a slap on theme on it and original is well original.
read this thread here for better explanation between the two
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175660
as regarding unlocking bootloaders you do not have to as it is already unlocked..all you have to do is flash a cf-root kernel from chainfires thread.
here are links to help you better

guys I have a i9100 laying here and it's running GB stock rom now, and I've been wondering what sort of method is the best to get to the latest official ics rom? I saw the thread with official samsung roms which is flashable with odin but I've seen cases of stuck in flashing factoryfs.img in odin at the first few percents? and things like eMMC bug? Since the device isn't mine and the owner tried to upgrade using kies but never got it through due to slow download in kies.
Settings/about device/system update
I prefer u leaked jellybean for s2 if u need guide how to flash just follow this steps

Well firstly please do not use silly topic titles such as this. This is a questions forum, you have no need to put your topic title as "have questions" that's a given and doesnt give anybody browsing forum any info. Topic titles are supposed to be descriptive of topic and it baffles me why so many people find that concept hard. You will get more views and potential help by giving brief description of topic instead of generic crap.
And as already stated, use the inbuilt system update.

mine is unbranded international i9100. I know there's ways to flash the official roms through Odin (done it with my s3) but problem is i've been factoryfs bricks, and i saw emmc bricks etc problems and I'm scared since it's not my phone

There is no need to worry about that crap. Its just n00bs who have other stuff running in background that interfere with flashing or they low battery etc.
Just install latest Kies to get drivers and flash via ODIN according to guides here, making sure not to use any .pit file or repartition etc.
My Ace 2 is EE branded:
Latest firmware info
GT-I8160 Galaxy Ace 2
PDA: I8160XXLL2
CSC: I8160EVRMA1

If i flash a BTU firmware, then update it via Kies to jellybean, will it brick the phone or is it safe? Has anyone else done this?
Your telephone would explode because you did not used Q & A Thread, and you did not bother to use search function.
Have you ever read XDA rules? Please do. Do not open new thread for each question. Most of questions (including yours) are already answered.
I dont want to sift through 176 pages on the Q and A thread sorry.
Anyone answer please?
You can always use search function.
Most people are using it with good results. It's not that hard and I assume you are grow enough to use it.
But if you somehow cannot find it, then you can add a post on Q&A Thread your question and someone will answer you. At right upper corner you will get info at Notifications: that there is a reply.
fair point, my bad.
Please Search before create a new tread

no it wont brick your phone if done correctly(there are how-to threads about this, no further answers will follow here...)..
xda search is your friend and also is google - try to search on your own a bit and if you don't find anything, then you open a new thread -- here are more then 5mio users, someone does have your problem and there is a discusoon going on about that for sure..
no need spam more posts - read forum rules first!
yes it will brick it. So wait for kies.
Ive google searched loads for EE branded firmware and it just finds my own threads. Thats why im asking here but it keeps getting ignored so i have to keep asking cuz surely someone knows
