I have a 32GB Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100
i flashed it using Odin to XXKL1 a few weeks back...
A few days ago I was transfering some files to my computer when I realized that the storage capacity is 11.5gb...
I tried
1. formatting from the Settings/Storage/format USB Storage
2. Home+Power+Volume Up Delete User Data
3. I flashed back JPKH1 but no change
I can't find a solution and I'm desperate...
Is there a way I can get back to the original state?
That reads like its the 16GB model .

You need to flash the correct pit file for the 32gb model and tick repartition. Do that when flashing the firmware.
But I'm not sure where to get the pit file. Google will help for that.

You didn't search very hard then. From my quick look, you need GT-I9100_EXT4_32G.pit which I found here.
I take absolutely no responsibility for any damage caused by using this as I cannot verify its authenticity

How did you go? Remember in Odin enter the pit file in the pit section (from above post), tick repartition, enter your firmware in the correct section/s and flash. Pretty sure you know how to do it anyway but just in case.

WOOOOHOOOOOO THANK YOU GUYS & OINKYLICIOUS I did look hard enough... ive been sleepless for a few days... why are people angry in forums? Thank you tho I'm gratefull...
Thank you sxi200
For reference: after flashing... rebooting... your usb storage will still show 11.5GB; you have to formate your usb storage and tada you get 26.64GB
Because many (most) people who come here with "Hlap mai fone borked" issues aren't normally big on reading/learning/searching & expect (demand) their hands be held/they be spoonfed often for the simplest of issues that could have been resolved using their own grey matter.
Does this answer your question ?

Excellent! Glad you got it sorted.
As MistahBungle said, most long time users get frustrated when the same question is asked a million times for which there is already a load of answers.
I think your situation is a little different as not many people have this issue. Most of us have the 16gb models so haven't had such a problem before.
Good stuff man. Wish I had the 32gb version (but I do have a 32gb memory card .

OP its all to often people flash their handset and when it goes wrong they cant take time to search for the info that they seek. 98% of the time the info is here within this forum or else where on the net Google is a useful tool. Like many have already stated most answers can be found by just taking some time open those eyes and read, not only that it wound frees up useless forum bandwidth where thses types of threads keep popping up ...
Still your back to working ways with your SGS2 good on you.

I didn't mean to come off as angry (I'm not), just doubting that you had searched very well. I do not own a 32GB I9100 and don't know anything about them, yet if you look at the post times, I was able to find the file in question and post my reply in the space of six minutes. That six minutes included the time to find and read your post, search for the answer, search for the file, download the file after finding several dead links and checking it in a hex editor to make sure it looked vaguely like a .pit.
Searching isn't difficult and I simply don't believe you had two sleepless days (why would you sleep during the day? Do you work shifts?) looking .
hehehe i was up trying stuff...
perhaps you're great at searching... just to prove a point I honestly ran a google search on the name of the pit file (that you directed me to) and i couldn't get a hit on the first two result pages... I took snapshots (I can upload upon request ) actually I found other threads regarding this issue (2 if i'm not mistaken) both had dead links to the download...
or perhaps... here in the 3rd world the internet is sooo slow and expensive that one gets frustrated waiting six minutes to open bloody google
Anyways I'm very grateful and I would invite u both to grab a beer if u ever pass by Lebanon
Should I delete this thread to spare some space?

1) can someone PLEASE give me Step-By-Step guide on rooting/unlocking my device?
2) what is the VERY 1st thing i should do with my phone before rooting?
--also i dont have any MicroSD--i dont use tons of App or anything so is there a problem me not having MicroSD?
--also i am Wi-Fi cover 100%, 99.99% of the times and NOT wanting to use ATT Data
once rooted--will my Internet work (must hav for myself).
3)what are ROMs (i kno little abut them) but, which one are best & how should i keep up-to-date with it?

I get the feeling that some (myself included) will question this part. There are guides in this forum for nearly everything you asked. Search and I'm sure you'll find them.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1511999
Read, Read, Read is my first tip.
Start here, you will find everything for rooting.
Just a heads up as well, the search button and google should become your best friend. This forum is a self service forum, people don't take to kindly to those that don't do their research before posting.
SORRY!!! like i said i am DUMMMY to this android and really Fresh outta boat here. ive read alll the posts but, get very confused --sum say internet dont work after rooting....
If you are still confused after reading the link yoderk posted, then maybe you should not mess with your phone.
Just spend some time reading. Read more and rarely make new threads. This phone has been out for a while now so if you have a question, it probably has been asked before and answered.
1. It's in the link posted.
2. Turn it on
-no
-yes (unless you fuxxor it up)
3.a Did you google it?
3.b no such thing as "best" or else there would just be 1 ROM and everyone would be using the same one.
4. wifi? sure

Internet will work fine after rooting.
If you just got the phone, I would seriously recommend taking about 2 weeks to read up and figure out what you are doing. Everything is fairly simple once you know the terms and common lingo. Don't jump in and come out with a nice paper weight.

I suppose my previous post was less than helpful. 'pologies.
1) There is a thread that will give you step by step instructions for rooting your phone. "Zedomax" has videos available as well. Check out galaxys2root.com under the AT&T section. Yoderk's post will prove helpful, should you read it.
2) The first thing you should do is turn the phone on Kidding. Backup your apps and data, just in case. Backing things up is usually a good first option no matter what you're doing with your phone.
-- No MicroSD card, no problem. Your phone has a few gigs of memory built into it. Just buy one if you need more storage space on your phone.
-- Internet will work just fine if you root successfully. Same goes for Wifi.
3) The best ROM is the one you like the most. Try them out and see for yourself.
4) I'm not sure what you're asking with this one.
THANKS everyone, & once again SORRY---lately thats what i been doing READIN everything i can about Android
but one thing thats keep bothering me is, i saw zedomax's video and they have OLD 2.3.4 gingerbread & i have 2.3.6 gingerbread....
can i still proceed with old files? or there are upgrades that i keep missing?

I wouldn't recommend using that method, I would flash entropy's stock package that includes root and cwm via odin.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
you can find it in the op of that thread.
Ok, thanks
i am sinking all the info now, gettting hang of it
one more quest. is Titanium backup free? and wht is most imp things to back up besides Apps?
I would suggest using it stock for a week, see if it does everything you need it to.
If it does, then just run stock.
That way there's no risk.
If you do decide to flash then like everyone else is saying, read and reread. Spend some time, several days just reading because there might be some little bit of information that you might miss, but is critical to a successful flash.
Good luck and welcome to freedom.

Well you can get the free version but I highly recommend getting the pay version as it saves time hand over foot as it will bulk install all of your apps. As far as apps, maybe sms if you need them that's all I do. Just a word of advise with TB never restore system apps to a different rom, it'll give you a headache.
Hey i cant change my csc settings. I have SEARCHED all over google and have not found a solution. All that shows up is att where it says sales thing.
i am guessing english isnt your first language?
what exactly is it you are looking to DO? with all of your threads you keep opening up, it seems like you have a goal in mind, but dont want to share it....you keep asking very generic questions, and honestly, none of them really make any sense, it just reads as incoherent babbling....
so lets start this off with:
WHAT IS YOUR END GOAL?
WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH?
WHAT IS IT YOU ARE ULTIMATELY LOOKING TO DO?
why do you think you need to modify your CSC for any reason?
I am trying to change my csc settings because i flashed a stock rom which may have a different setting. I am thinking that is why kies wont let me update! Sorry i have so many unanswered questions because all you people reply is with "search". If you are taking the time to scold me about searching and the rules you might as well answer the freakin question.

but you dont even know if it actually changed anything.
you have provided NO info to the members of the forum for them to help you....
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO YOUR PHONE SO FAR?
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE MODIFIED THE CSC?
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE CSC?
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING TO GET AN UPDATE FROM KIES?
i dont think you need to change your CSC settings at all....just flash back to stock....its not difficult
and if you dont like hearing the word SEARCH, maybe you shouldnt be here on this site, because its the first F'ng rule of the forum.....
I did flash a stock rom. I explained the reason i want to CHECK my settings is because kies says my device does not support updating from it. The only time it gave me that message is when i rooted it. I noticed it and so i flashed a stock rom and was still given the message. Samsung then gave me a 2.3.6 ota update and STILL i have the message. I'm not a 100% sure that its vecause of the csc, i just want to check. And when i tried checking, it diddnt let me. All it said by sales code was "att" with nothing under it instead of "csc". I wasn't sure if that was a problem so i posred this topic. Need anh more info? And is why i want to do something necessary? As long as you know what i'm trying to do, (and not why) that should be enough.
EDIT: i used zedomax to root and unroot.
you posted this topic of how to CHANGE it. you didnt explain why you thought you needed to change it.
by me piecing together your different threads, it was obviously clear to me that you didnt understand this phone and/or android....so its pretty reasonable to assume that you didnt fully understand CSC....
i wish you luck in your many threads....and hope you dont post on here soon about bricking your phone because you didnt read enough....it is painstakingly obvious that you just want to be spoonfed what you want to know and not help anyone help you, so to that, i bid farewell.
All i want to f****** know is how to get my phone to support updating via kies. I dont want an arguement and im fairly confused because im trying to understand but all i get from you are scoldings and criticism. I would like help but all this arguing is making it that more difficult
I'm a noob, so please understand... xD

Basically what you're saying is all these threads you've created are related. Meaning you broke ANOTHER rule of xda about spamming the board. This all should have gone in one thread because this isn't your own personal forum.

Actually, no. This is NOT the main reason this site is around. It was created to aid developers. It has degraded over the past year or so due to people thinking they deserve help just because. Sorry you don't understand, but I will also tell you to search. Understand what you want before you start messing with something you have no understanding of. I know right now this is a useless post to you. But you are probably not going to find anyone here to spoon feed you the answer. If you knew what you were getting into when you started you would know why keis is not going to work for you now.

100% disagree. If it was really like that then there wouldn't be any bugs in software period . New bugs arise after testing new software.
I'm going to kill all your threads by this one post.
THERE IS NO OFFICIAL ICS UPDATE FOR OUR PHONE, AND THERE LIKELY WON'T BE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.
Even if there was a Kies update, you'd have to use Kies Mini, the full Kies does not and never will update our phone no matter what you do. And if you somehow happen to find an update pushed to your phone over the air or through Kies Mini, it's 2.3.6 GB. That is the only update available to stock 2.3.4 phones.
You want official ICS now? Go buy a Galaxy Nexus or an International Galaxy SII.
Mods, you may remove or edit this post as you feel is necessary. I request though, that you close these threads before more crap happens.

Ok i rooted my phone and unlocked it as well. I rooted only for the purpose of only getting a .08 to .3 KBps data speed in an area the is supposed to have been overhauled. I have had the damn phone replaced three times with no results. I have replaced the modem to the best one which still only gives me at best 1.66MBps. Well now when I use the hotspot.......only computer can connect!!!!! NONE OF MY OTHER 12 COMPUTERS CAN CONNECT AT ALL.....AND WHEN IT DOES IT DOES NOT GET AN IP ADDRESS AND WHEN I TRY TO TURN OFF THE HOTSPOT AND BACK ON I GET AN ERROR!!!!! I go into airplane mode and and then turn it off and I am able to connect but only this one damn computer!!!!! how in the hell can I fix this!!!!! PS. PLEASE DO NOT TELL ME TO SEARCH FOR THIS PROBLEM....BECAUSE I HAVE ALREADY DONE THIS AND I HAVE COME UP WITH NOTHING BUT BULL****!!!! I WANT HONEST ANSWERS TO THIS PROBLEM!!!!!!! THANKS SO MUCH!!

I'd hardly call what you posted detailed.
If you have CWM then you were already rooted. What method did you use to install CWM? What "best" modem did you install? What ROM are you using? What method did you use to unlock? Where did you look? What searches have you done? I can go on an on with the questions......
I think it best to speak in a softer/nicer tone especially when asking for help. There are a lot of people here that are more than willing to help those that have a genuine interest in learning.

All I know is I have been searching and searching on this site for over a week and there is no solution to my problem. And every post I see has pages of posts saying you did not say much or search these forums before you post!!!!!! I DID SEARCH!!!!!! AND I WANTED TO STATE RIGHT OFF.......THAT YOU SHOULD SEARCH!!!!!!! I DID THAT!!!!! I do not know what more you want me to explain!!!!
1. Rooted my phone using ODIN with the ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3
2. Installed Superuser-3.0.7
3. Unlocked my phone with Galaxy S Unlock", the author is "Helroz"
4. After this I get the triangle and Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 on the splash screen.
5. Tried every modem and the best one seems to UCLC2 Modem.
6. After I did all this one one computer can hookup to my hotspot.
7. When a second computer tries to hookup.....First computer losses connection and second one never connects to get an IP address.
8. When you turn off the Hotspot it give you a message "ERROR"
9. In order to get reconnected I have to turn on airplane modes and then off and then the first computer can connect again.
I am just sooooo upset with this ****!!!!! Been fighting AT&T for 5 months with no results. And even with all the modems I have tried I get no more speed then at most times of .3 to .7kbps!!! I can't even download all the original files to restore completely to stock because I am getting about an 80% packet loss!!!!! And the download always fails anywhere from 50 to 70% I am so frustrated with this I am about to take a sledge hammer to this phone and tell AT&T to stick their network where the sun don't shine!!!

K, i'm going to bite my tongue for a bit and try to help you. But you really are sounding like a demanding vulgar little child. So please tone it down and sound grateful so some smarter people might be tempted to help you solve your issue.
What ROM are you using? What security protocol are you using? I'm going to assume you're using Windows 7 on all your machines.... What are you setting as your network location? Home? Work? Public?
Have you already tried the basics.... wiping cache, wiping davlik, fix permission? Have you done a factory reset?

And all I want is to be able to connect more then one computer on my hotspot....THAT IS ALL!!!! I AM COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM!!!!! And I may have sounded vulgar starting this post.....but I want to lay the thread out properly by saying........I am not a noobie, I don't want post saying did you search......did you do the basics.....I already did that!!!!!
Now for the questions to your answer.....I have not changed the rom....it is the stock rom.
2. I turned off all security at this point to make sure that was not the problem.
3. All my computers are running xp as I would never put windows 7 on my machine.
And as for network location I have know idea what you mean by that.......as I have changed NOTHING except installed CWM and the unlock program. I also flashed the phone with all the modems to see what gave me the best speed which was the UCLC2.
4. I restored the efs folder and relocked the phone. Still have the same problem.
5. I just flashed the kernel back to stock and it is still doing the same problem!!

In all seriousness, you gave more detail in the second post than the first. Even though you said you had already started "everything necessary"...

PS - you managed to anger one of the most helpful people on this forum: creepy. You are soon to anger brokkanik and he's in that same category. Im pretty sure you need to reevaluate your approach or you will receive no help whatsoever. I hope you get this problem resolved soon.

Can I have some? This looks like an entertaining show. I'm somewhat flabbergasted at the balderdash being spewed.
**looks up at the site name**
nope, not the AT&T HELP DESK, nor is it the XDA-HELPDESK....
where are you paying for OUR services that gives you the right to yell at everyone?
you are doing absolutely no good for your case here.

And? So you're good at taking tests. Does that garner you a certain level of respect? My 9yr old can set up a network. I could care less if you're exhausted in dealing with this issue. You're demanding answers. You're not asking for help. If you already claim to know the tone of this forum why all the high and mighty "oh look at me! I'm a CCDE. I know how to configure IP's better than anyone that didn't take the test to become a CCDE. Bow down, answer my questions or GTFO!"?

THANKS ALL YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!!!!! JUST WHAT I THOUGHT A BUNCH OF PEOPLE OF HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO BUT....BE THE PROBLEM!!!! I TOLD YOU ALL I AM NOT A NOOBIE.....AND NOT ONE OF YOU SAID, "HEY I HAD THAT PROBLEM AND THIS IS WHAT I DID TO FIX IT" THAT IS EXCEPT THE ONE PERSON WHO UNDERSTOOD WHAT A WAS ASKING!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! AND IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. AS FOR ALL YOU OTHER PEOPLE WHO DID EXACTLY WHAT I ASKED YOU TO NOT DO......... *&^$% OFF!!! OH AND A CCDE DOES NOT CONFIGURE JUST IP ADDRESSES.....I DESIGN WHOLE COMPLETE VoIP NETWORKS!!! oh and close this thread moderator!!
Again thank for the person who pm'd me and was a part of the solution instead of the other ones who had nothing to say but flame!!
dude. get the fkn chip off your shoulder.
you came in here yelling at people, nay, DEMANDING people help you, screaming at everyone even in your first post...
christ, man, what did you expect to get met with? champagne and crumpets?
grow up and learn how to be RESPECTFUL when asking VOLUNTEERS for help....just stop yelling at everyone and you will go a hell of a lot further and people wont troll your posts....
I'm logging in to the site via chrome just so I can report this thread.
Dude, do you have PE problems? Is that the reason for your need to type in caps? To tell people you are a "hot shot"¿ I don't care that you set up voip networks. I care that you are an asshole who types in caps, demands things like a 5yr old and throws around certificate like it's something we should all bow down to. Get over yourself. You may know a ton about networks,I may know a ton about micro architecture (I don't), but that means NOTHING here. Ask and you shall receive. Demand and you shall be flamed.
Anyway, awaiting penalties for this post and grabbing another beer.
Clay

get it right.....i came in here asking for help.........and not hearing people say......like i see on hundreds of threads on here to do a search.......and people should not do this or that.........i explicitly said NOT TO DO THIS!!!!!! I ONLY WANTED SOLUTIONS. AND NOT ONE OF YOU DID THAT!!!! YOU IMMEDIATELY WENT ON YOUR **** ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE SHOULD NOT DO....THIS IS NOT A HELP DESK.........THAT IS WHY PROBABLY NONE OF YOU WORK FOR A COMPANY LIKE CISCO!!! IF I WAS ON A CISCO FORUM AND SOMEBODY DID WHAT I DID......I OBVIOUSLY WOULD HAVE RECOGNIZED THAT THIS PERSON IS FRUSTRATED EXHAUSTED ALL OTHER AVENUES AND NEED HELP.
I SURE AS HELL WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ON MY HIGH SENIOR MEMBERS HORSE AND YOU ARE RUDE, YOU ARE VULGAR!!! iI WOULD HAVE SAID, "HOW CAN I HELP YOU AND SINCE YOU SAID, "DON'T ASK ME IF A SEARCHED THE FORUMS.....OR DID THE BASIC STUFF." I WOULD HAVE IMMEDIATELY SAID TO THE TECHNICAL STUFF NOT WHAT ANY OF YOU PEOPLE DID YOU JUST WENT STR8 TO COMPLAINING, WHINING, *****ING AND NOT ONE SINGLE ONE OF YOU DOVE IN AND WENT STR8 TO THE PROBLEM. SO YOU TELL ME WHO IS ON THEIR HIGH EFING HORSES??????
THIS IS WHY THERE ARE THREADS WITH 20, 30, 500 PAGES OF REPLIES!!!!! BECAUSE YOU ARE WORRIED TO THINK YOU ARE MOSTLY ALL KINGS AND RULERS OF THE THRONE!!!! GET OF YOUR PEDESTAL!!!!
NONE OF THIS CRAP HAPPENS ON CISCO'S FORUMS BECAUSE WE ARE ABOUT THE SOLUTION AND NOT ABOUT GIVING A RESPONSE THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO ABOUT THE SOLUTION!!!
SO SAY WHAT YOU WANT.........BUT THIS THREAD PROVES THAT!!!!!! MOST OF YOU THINK YOU ARE BETTER THEN ANYONE ELSE.....YOU ARE NOT!!!
AGAIN THANKS FOR THE PERSON THAT HELPED ME AND EVERYBODY ELSE I WILL NOT DIGNIFY YOUR BS REPLIES WITH ANYMORE REPLIES.
AND AGAIN THANKS..........YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE......IF I NEED ANY OTHER HELP I WILL PM YOU BACK.
Hello,
So, I've got my Samsung S II that I actually got for a guy for being bricked.
The phone got in to bootloader, recovery et.c but stuck.
So I started up ODIN and followed some steps here given on the forum.
Very strange things happened, ODIN stuck while trying to "flash" it, and took about 12 hours before the program actually crashed.
Now I have a bricked phone.
Totally Black Screen (doesn't matter with combos for VOL UP/DOWN + HOME + POWER)
No logos, nothing, just black.
Warm battery (tested with another one)
On the back it says:
Model: GT-I9100
SSN: -I9100GSMH
Swedish sold phone, used to have Telia/Halebop as a sim if that's any help.
At the first 2-3 times after the "failure" of Odin-flashy thingy I could actually see the phone.
Now I can't see it at all in Odin (tried v3.07,v3.06,v3.04,v1.85,v1.83) without finding the unit at all.
Phone is not recognized in Device-manager, doesn't matter which "combo" I use.
And NO, Samsung Kies is uninstalled, I've reinstalled the drivers, still nothing.
Any Windows-related problem? (Linux might work(?), if so, how?).
or is it just bricked and I will need to get a JTAG, or create my own (3x100ohms resistors connected to micro usb => plug in to phone?).
Best regards,
This will be a present for my girlfriend, and I really want this **** to work.
Best wishes, Andreas
Dont tell me you bothered to search because you're a liar!
This 100000% exact situation has already been asked/answered and discussed to infinity so there is absolutely no need whatsoever for yet another topic simply to duplicated topics that already exist.
Yes it can be a ***** to have a bricked phone but that doesn't mean you can just create yet more clutter on forum

I've searched the forums; no-one that I could find, I could search bad, even the suggested threads didn't even make it to my level of "brick".
Thanks for such a warm greeting.
And I've tried to come up with so many things that I can relate to the problems and ways I've tried.
So maybe some help and start being polite.

Are you seriously saying you couldn't find any topics that relate to odin/black screen/brick?
wow, just wow.

No, I haven't. Why would I say I have searched and not have?
Instead of harassing and complaining, make an effort to solve the problem.
Hum...he doesn't work for you, I din't either, but he was trying to tell you that you now got a brick.

Don't be cheap, it for your gf.

I've bricked my Samsung Galaxy Player 3.6 (YP-GS1), and was hoping to at least restore it to working order, but I can't find a copy of the I9000XXJVS.RAR file anywhere on the XDA forums or the internet. I'm hoping that I can use Odin and all of the files from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259240 to unbrick it and get it back to working condition.
Thanks!

Those files are for the Galaxy S I9000. Unless you want to hard brick your phone, I'd suggest you to not flash them.
If you need only the /system files and not other partitions you can look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1864741 If you need other partitions a well there's a thread here, but unfortunately the links are down. So you need to ask someone with a 3.6 (US/INTL depending on your version) to pull it out of their device
So, "It's dead, Jim".
Given up, wrote it off, and now I'm shopping for something a little more recent by asking for an assist on reddit's Android forums. Yeah, it was probably all my fault, but even the "guaranteed" Froyo fix didn't work, so I'm moving on after wasting two weekends fiddling around with this thing. It's off to the landfill for this Samsung, and I'll be giving something else a shot!
Thanks for the xda link, but I'd been there and done that -- which is how I got into trouble in the first place.

PS: Last time I'll be posting here, after having to answer the ****in' captcha bull**** FOUR ****ING TIMES and then being forced to remove the ****ING LINK TO REDDIT. Jesus! Go **** yourselves, you paranoid ****in' bastards!
Yeah, and this stupid **** as well:

Wow. **** this crap! Too many ****in' hoops for too little reward.
