Hi i rooted my SGS2 last week and now i'd like it put back to stock to sell-on trouble is i have tried unrooting but it said it worked but my device still has root apps on.
I can't download any FW & kernals off here because theres a problem with multiupload as all the links are dead or servers down....
The phone was on uk 3 network android 2.3.3 kernal XWKF4 but now is unlocked
Has anybody any working links??
TIA
Andy
Just download a stock rom and flash with Odin. Don't forget to format the memory afterwards and you're set.
Intratech is working on getting his original firmware downloads sorted out right now but if you can't wait grab firmware from Sammobile or use checkfus to download the firmware you want and flash with Odin.

Hello,
i would like some guidance on the rooting side of things. with every page i read im getting more and more confused.
i have installed/flashed litening rom.
ive used the sim unlock tool to unlock my phone.
im confused on all of the unsecure and secure stuff.
i would like my phone back to how i had it when i bought it, without the root access etc.
am i right in thinking that i would need the latest stock secure kernal which i would flash in exactly the same way as i flashed litening? or am i getting the wrong end of the stick.
or would i have to flash the specific three firmware (im not bothered about having all the three stuff on it but if i have to then so be it)
You need to follow Chainfire thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Don't get too much confused, its simple.
BTW- Aren't you already rooted as you are on Litening ROM!

I am rooted which was an easy process. I just can't get my head around all the different stock firmwares etc.
I would love to unlock my wife's S2 for her but want to know how to get it back to stock after.
Hope that makes sense?

ok i downloaded

i couldnt see the KG3 one.
where do i find the csc to go with this?
If you want to get it back to stock "back to how it was when I bought it", don't use any KG firmware unless you're from Poland or Brazil - IIRC, they're the only 2 areas that KG firmware is "official", i.e., flashable via Kies.
Sounds like you'll need a KF firmware. If you can't remember what your firmware originally was, try this:
http://fus.nanzen.se/
- will also tell you your latest available official update.
KG and KH 2.3.4
Rest is 2.3.3
Edit - see you've got KF3 - for your scenario, 99% sure it's the right choice.
ok so ive downloaded that one, it was a self extracting.exe file
i now have a tar file.
do i use odin again and put this tar in the pda part?
Anyone??
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
if the package one has one .tar file then yes.
keep in mind you will not have root access after this
Brilliant thanks all

Also after reverting back to stock roms, do your self a favor and buy a USB JIG (Samsung galaxy S JIG) from ebay for like 10 dollars. You can use this to reset the Binary Counter in Download mode, before you ship of any phone for say Warranty issues
Hello how i can back to stock my galaxy s2? i rooted and put checkrom works nice but i want to learn how get back to stock again im confused
I didnt wrote down the pda version and kernel before install checkrom and rooted what recommend me to do?
thanks.
Just flash official firmware package from Intratech's XDA firmware thread via Odin.
Use your Product Code (sometimes found on your box) on the Chek Fus Download website to find your original PDA etc (if you're not 100% sure) or search the first couple thread posts for match.
Follow his flash instructions and you're done

you can get your stock firmware from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
It also includes instructions of using odin and flashing the downloaded firmware .... if you are rooted take a nandroid backup every time you flash custom from stock ........ that ways you'll always have a backup of the stock firmware ......
Yep, my post is rather incomplete, forgot to add the link cheers

So I just came across this and got to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 however, I am SO lost. I don't know what firmware I'm supposed to download. Yes I'm a noob, but seriously trying to figure all of this out so help is greatly appreciated. OH and I'm trying to get back to stock in attempts to get CF root to hopefully get cyanogenmod to install rather than abort the installation.

Actually all the firmwares provided in the thread are stock ..........
If you are a Noob i would not recommend cyanogenmod though it is pretty good but i've heard it's for advanced users and stuff ........ why do you need to flash stock is my primary question ........... use this thread only http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
You need to update latest firmware for your region as a KIES update is there / on the way?
Find out the latest firmware for your region to flash via http://fus.nanzen.se/ it will provide you with the stock firmware your phone should have after selecting the specific region.
You need to update latest firmware irrespective of region (like Me)
Just download the latest firmware available in the 2nd or 3rd section of the thread. in this case 2.3.6 (KK2 or KK5).
In case of any more issues post back.
so I tried kk2 and kk5 and kk2 gave me no service, and kk5 failed to even install. I'm at a loss. I really want CF root, but can't install it on the stock eg30 that I've been using as my stock rom. SO what next? Any other way to figure out which stock firmware from that link will work for my phone?
hello???
Is there anyone who can help me figure this out?????
I need to get an official ROM for my I900 so I can upgrade to ICS using Kies. I have tried several ROMS from these forums but none of the downloads work, it just says it has been removed from the download site. Please any help would be great.
Location - UK
Phone - Unlocked
Looking for - Official Gingerbread rom so I can use Kies to upgrade to ICS
Thank You
I've just tried checkfus and used the carphone warehouse download since that is where I got my phone from and I'm just stuck on the galaxy s2 logo screen
Why not use Odin to flash the UK O2 ICS firmware.
You can download with or without O2 branding from right here at xda.
Edit: btw I use it and it's a very good version of ICS.
----------------------
GTI9100 KK5
I got the ICS update from checkfus working. I'm now back in the situation of having no power button options and no lock screen
Why not flash your original GB rom .
Google search or Sammfirmware etc .

This condition is fixable, but you will need root. Search for the fix involving the /efs/imei/keystr file.
If you don't want to root, then you can't fix it.

Rather search for the ics firmware on xda and flash through Odin. It is ten times better and updates more frequently.

Hello everyone,
Today I decide to root my phone and I found this thread and follow every steps to root it.
However, I found that after the phone is rooted, the camera malfunctioned, youtube has no display, and bluetooth could not turn on.
I immediately unroot my phone, and flash it using original kernel and still can't repair it.
Then I run a factory reset but it is no use.
Could anyone tell me how to fix this problem?
PDA:I9100DXLPF
PHONE: I9100DXLPB
CSC: I9100LBLPF
Thank you very much.
This is my first post. I hope I don't cause problem to this forum.
Try flashing stock rom
It will take some time and I could not access hotfile at the moment. So I am looking for alternative.
If there are no choices, can anyone help me transfer the file to the other storage like 4shared or mediafire?
This is the thread that I forgot to mention about "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414&highlight=root"
By the way, I have connected my phone to kies and it shows the latest firmware so i can't run any of emergency firmware recovery.
Any idea of solving this? Thanks.
I really need my camera back. Regret is not an option anymore.
Don't try to use Kies when you're rooted.
Which kernel did you try to flash? It's not that rooting should come with these problems you name here, because otherwise nobody would do it.
Indeed try to flash stock firmware (download from www.sammobile.com) with Odin, or maybe considder flashing a custom rom.

Only via Odin and before flashing make sure you don't have active kies

I flashed with siyah and the problem solved.
Looks like I need to download the stock firmware later on.
If there are updates on android again, can I use kies to update my phone again?
Not with a custom kernel but you said you plan to download stock and flash that after that you can use kies again or download the updated stock ROM from sammobile and flash it when it is release and don't bother with kies .
I have bought a brand new galaxy s 2 (GT-I9100G). It's currently on GB firmware I9100GXXLB1 from XEF france region as this was bought in france. I want to update to Jelly Bean. I have installed the latest version of kies and got everything set up. But,when downloading the firmware update, kies is giving me extremely slow download speeds(3mbps connection here) that's going to take forever to download JB. So, I want to flash it manually using odin 3.07 as other firmware hosting sites gives normal download speeds.I have downloaded odin and want to install the following firmware.
So, can I upgrade directly from GB to JB without any problems? Do I need any special .pit or procedure while upgrading or I can flash normally using it?
Please reply..

No special requirements, that's assuming you know what you're doing with Odin (fair assumption given your post count?)
Actually,this is my first time using odin. I have never used samsung devices before. I have done a lot of reading before posting this thread just to be extra clear.
If no special requirements are needed,will I have any problems upgrading directly? Also, have I chosen the correct firmware for my GT-I9100G?

As the above poster said no problem in direct jumping from gb stock to jb stock, and you don't need to touch the pit files, but sometimes(very rarely) a bootloop can occur, so in such a case just performing a factory reset from the stock recovery would fix that.

Unfortunately I'm not going to comment on whether you've chosen the correct firmware. I don't own a I9100G, so have no experience choosing a firmware for it. As long as it's definitely an I9100G (as opposed to international I9100) firmware you'll be fine

According to the filename it seems to be i9100g firmware, if it's from a trusted source then it's safe for the i9100g.
