I Know that question have been asked several times but I don't know what is wrong with my device ?
I rooted my device few weeks ago , flashed few roms , now I want to take it to its original state to take it to my warranty.
1 - I downloaded the original firmware (XWKJ2) from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
it was about 8mb file and flashed it successfully.
2 - I did a factory reset + cleared cache
3 - used my home made jig to reset the counter.
-----------------
the problem now is I still have cwm + super user + root access
what step did I miss people ??
any help would be much appreciated.
You did not flash the firmware.The size of the firmwares are more than 250MB.AFAIK you flashed the kernel.
Flash this:http://www.multiupload.com/9T5AORNZ3Y
Then full wipe
See sdcard if u have folders like miui or clockworkmod
Take a backup and delete them
But I'm currently running the official firmware on my device (but rooted) , I thought flashing that kernel should restore it to its original state.
what should I do now ? my kernel version is XWKJ2
thanks sahibunlimited
I would try that file and report.
just a little question in my mind , if I updated my firmware through Kies , would it unroot my device and delete those 2 apps (CWM&super user) ??

FYI, he linked a download to the full KJ2 firmware, which is what siddardhab was suggesting you do.
And also, no, just flashing a stock kernel will not un-root your phone, as superuser.apk and su will still be present. (this is also how you remove the /!\ symbol upon boot, if you're interested)
Flashing the entire firmware should remove these files, thus removing root.

Yes. Relates to my answer above.
Great , Thanks
I flashed that stock firmware successfully BUT SuperUser & CWM were just still there !! I cant believe that !!
I searched google and found some people talk about SuperOneClick unrooting feature , tried that (rooting then unrooting) and it really unrooted my device but superuser was still there and couldn't be uninstalled !
I reflashed my stock(rooted) firmware using CWM restore function , used SuperOneClick to Unroot >>> removed SU but not CWM !
Flashed stock kernel >> restored my original android recovery but the CWM app is still there in my applications.
So my current situation is :
Stock firmware + stock Kernel + stock Recovery + CWM F*** App
What should I do now ??
I got sever headache from that

I tried flashing that firmware before and it didNOT delete any thing (SU/CWM)
Also I noticed it's a "Frankenstein Firmware" and Kies couldn't recognize it.

Indeed, factory reset may work.
Apparently entering the code *2767*3855# into your dialer will accomplish this. I've never personally tried it though.

Kies is a POS. I don't use it. There's a sticky in the general section that has a link to Intratech's official firmware thread. You can get latest 2.3.6 from there. I can't link from mobile, and I'm about to go to bed, sorry.

I'm curious about one thing - you want to return to original firmware for warranty purposes, yet you haven't said what is actually wrong with your phone..
Is there anything wrong? Or are you pulling a scam?

Hi,
I have installed Android ICS 4.0.3 in my galaxy s2 two days back, but now i want to go back to the company provided version Android 2.3.6 for india.
I tried the official firmware given in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
but i am experiencing some problem and the mobile doesn't goes beyond the initial start up screen where it says "click on android logo to start"
Please anybody can tell me how to install properly the official firmware android 2.3.6 DDKL1 for Samsung galaxy s2.
Please let me know the exact steps to do and the link for files to download.
Thanks in advance.
The files you have should work fine. Did you flash.as shown in the pictures in the OP of the thread you linked?
If your getting to the android start screen your phone should boot fine. Did you click on the android to start?
Sent from my GT-I9100
Yes i did click on the android logo, It doesn't do anything rather some android process is getting stopped and i am getting popups for it.
while installing 4.0.3 i included all PDA,Phone,CSC and Pit files in odin manager and there by re-partitioned also.
the official firmware link above gives me only the PDA tar file rest of the other files i searched and downloaded dunno whether it is correct. so is it possible for you to give the full set of tar files, if u have?? or direct me to some links where i can download those.
I used the 2.3.6 xila version from remorema at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1444651. Just make sure you wipe system/cache and delvik cache before you install from zip in cwm. Then it all should be fine. This presumed you have a CWM.
Hope this helps

It's probably interfering with something if you're getting all of the process close.
I suggest a factory data reset if you can, close your phone and go to recovery (even if its a stock rom, the original android recovery will also work) and do a factory data reset and try again.
If that still doesn't work, try re-flashing again and see what happens.

Hi, mani_vic2rious
If U want to revert back to ginger Stock roms, then this is your place :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1444651
I recommend you to choose only from ginger ones, and remember thy are all from samsung, thus, not tweaked or anything. the only difference is that you can install them via CWM, for those who don't like to use Odin on windows PC.
Now if you want to stay in ICS 4.0.3 LP2 based rom, I recommend you Wanamlite V7.2 :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436817
U won't find more stable and functional than this.
Keys to succes in any rom installation :
1- Backup all your personal Stuff;
2- reboot into recovery (cwm) and wipe every single thing : datas, all caches (use the advance menu to wipe more things like dalvics and battery stats)
3- install your rom
4- then restore your personal stuff
As possible as you can : Always reinstall your apps from the begining and avoid restoring them from the backup you did, this always cause conflits and that's why people are always complaining, only do backup your contacts sms and other things like that.
and voilà, always stay clean as possible, and every thing will work smooth, you only need to choose the right rom.
I hope this helps!

All the information you need is in this thread, but basically you need to flash a stock 4.0.3 samsung firmware via odin (not mobile odin), do not wipe anything, even factory reset, until you have flashed a new safe firmware via odin.

The problem is that your phone has hardware damage on the eMMC (the flash storage) now, which can't be fixed.
There's a few workarounds (read the threads about the "leak brick bug") but none of them really work out nicely.
I also cannot do a factory reset.
I'm pretty sure I've never had this 4.0.4 leaked firmware installed. I've only installed 3 or 4 roms, all of which are the most popular ones on this forum.
Even when doing the reset from CWM the phone just goes into a boot loop at the startup screen.
I can restore to stock using MY backup but I want a clear phone for sale. I would try flashing a stock firmware using odin but I can't get hold of the firmware (every link goes to a download site that won't allow me to download it!!!!).
Any suggestions?

Well, flashed the stock firmware using Odin.
Thankfully it seems I don't have damaged eMMC and can now do factory reset. Now the kernel and recovery are stock, flash counter is reset with no yellow triangle.
Should be good enough for the phone recyclers and 200 quid.

How did you get 4.0.3 software on your phone, the S3 comes with 4.0.4 firmware!
Afaik if you`re rooted and use a custom kernel upgrades will not be installed. The best thing to do is download the new rom from www.sammobile.com/firmware and and unstall it with Odin. Or unroot and reflash the original stock rom and to try install the upgrade.
Before unrooting reset the flash counter with TriangleAway 1.70, available on playstore and chainfires`s thread.
thanks.
it is not a custom rom it is the original rom just rooted it
when i reset it it kept the root so actually i just wiped out all content but root was still there
any thing i can do ?
thanks

You have to flash the whole original rom or the original kernel and than do a factory reset. Reset the binary flash counter first, see 2nd post.
thanks,
are you saying that just because i rooted the device i will not be able to update it and i will have to reinstall it all ?
it sounds a bit odd, as most of the devices are rooted and as far as i know they are getting updates.
i wouldn't want to start it all over from scratch and flush a new rom etc if not really needed
and then what ?
every time i will need to do that ?
so what's the point in rooting it ?

Once you root it, and update root will be overwritten and is gone.
What for me works best is to buy MobileOdin Pro and flash the latest rom of your country and by doing so you keep root. Uninstall Kies (exept the usb drivers) and forget about that. Just update your phone yourself when an upgrade is available
Apps and data can be stored with Titanium Backup.
not sure i understood what you're saying, sorry...
could you please try again ?

- Go to www.sammobile.com/firmware and download your latest rom from your country
- Uninstall Kies except the usb drivers
- Buy Mobile Odin Pro
- Flash the rom you downloaded, extracted once and placed on your sd card (md5. file) with Mobile Odin
- Done
still i don't get why ?
why did it happen?
everybody roots the device - are all resetting and flushing on each update?

You have a different kernel, not stock so updates will not be installed
If you update yourself with Mobile Odin Pro you don`t need samsung ota updates.
When in the future opdates are available you download the rom from www.sammobile.com/firmware and flash it with Mobile Odin
Settings will not be removed, unless it`s a major update like jellybean.

Because of the method required to root the S3, we have the clockwork mod installed, I understand that this is the reason the update is not being installed.

I was wondering if i installed a different ROM that might fix it but for this i need someone to redirect me to a rom that will work with the version of my phone because i am kind new into this.

Get a root file explorer from market and see if there was an automated back up made whilst previous owner was flashing roms/kernels. You may be lucky, otherwise it's a paid repair at a service centre

I don't think it will as the efs folder is unique to the handset not the ROM installed. There are few threads offering fixes with mixed results. Search and try them. All the best.

I saw your other thread asking for a copy of this. This is ancient as far as firmwares go, you've got pretty much zero chance of getting your hands on it unless someone who has a copy happens to read your threads on here (seriously unlikely).
Is there a specific reason why you need such an out of date firmware; surely you can just use the latest stock firmware for your carrier/country ?

Sorry but you must be mistaken me for someone else because this is my only thread about this phone that i have.
Also i have tried downloading the stock firmware for orange uk which is Firmware info: PDA:BVKG3 and i have searched on google and lot more websites and all the download links i get they are all dead so that is why i open a thread to try and get help on the community here.
Really ? What's this then ?
I understand what you're saying, but what I'm saying is your chances of getting hold of this particular firmware are close to zero.
Given the almost impossibility of getting it, why wouldn't you just use the latest available stock firmware for your carrier/country if you need to go back to stock ?
because i cant find the firmware were the download link.ent dead.
I understand what you're saying, but what I'm saying is your chances of getting hold of this particular firmware are close to zero.
Get the PC version of Checkfus (search for it on here/Google). You to choose your phone model, carrier & country in pulldown boxes, and it will enable you to download the latest stock firmware which you can flash in Odin.

wipe data/factory reset

Your problem will not be fixed flashing roms. You need to search this forum for solutions. Even then it's not certain it will repair your phone, often only solution is a repair centre. Try this one to start with. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021

Guys after i installed the firmware for orange my phone turns on but no menus just black screen all i can do with the phone is drag the topbar down and turn on and off the features like wifi, etc
Enter CMW wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache and format system. Re-flash the firmware.
