[Q] can I retun back to my official 2.3.3 firmware - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi friends....I have GT I9100,,I flashed it via Odin to Android 4.0.3,but now I can not update firmwares via Kies,can i return back to my original firmware 2.3.3 to be able to update officially to android 4.0 ? thanks sorry for my language

Of course you can pal. Just download your 2.3.3 ROM and flash via Odin, simple.
Just do a Wipe after flashing as you are downgrading.

or if you made a nandroid backup before flashing your new ROM, then you can just reboot to recovery mode and restore your backup there.

If there is an upgrade from 2.3.3 for where you live, yes. But it won't be 4.0, that hasn't been released officially by Samsung. Will be 2.3.4, 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 if your operator has those firmwares.
Some countries/operators are much slower in releasing upgrades.

[Q] Can I Update after rooting ?

I'm asking if I have rooted my phone , can I update my phone with Offical Updates using Samsung Kies in future?!
Yes you can, but you'll need to root it again after updated.
Kies will tell you you can't. You'd have to do that through odin.

Why is that so? I have upgraded from rooted KE8 to KF3 via Kies. Kies won't detect your phone if it is rooted or not as long as you are on Stock ROM. Although, it's a different story if you are on a Custom ROM.

[ROM INSIDE] Just update 5.0 to 2.3.6 VIA Kies

In my country (Italy) samsung has released an update (12,85 Mb) from G70XXKPF to G70XXKPH
New version: 2.3.6 GINGERBREAD.XXKPH
samsung claims to have solved wifi issues
EDIT: it seems zergrush doesn't work (tested with doomlord's tool and superoneclick 2.3.3) so if you need root stay away from this update!
EDIT 1: if you want root simply install rumirand's kernel. Use superoneclick 2.3.3 on rj's kernel to root
FIST IMPRESSIONS: Wifi seems stable, added new lockscreen and new slide to unlock style, haptic feedback now is working!
BUG: can't change wallpaper on lockscreen
Here's the ROM (186,75 Mb) http://www.mediafire.com/?wkhk5p30km49sbm
Same in denmark

Strange... Kies says that my device does not support firmware updates...
has the U.S galaxy player 4.0/5.0 received this update?

I'm pretty sure that kies won't let you update if you're using a custom rom. That's why I wont update when it hits the states.
Just wondering if anyone can perform a dump of this new EU rom? It can be a good base for custom rom.
New Firmware
In Norway this firmware is not available. Is it possible to download this firmware and install it via cwm ?
I'm just care about the issue of wifi.
Is there anything about 4.0?

You are great!
i flashed the stock rom (2.3.5) but i still get that line... any ideas?
This stock rom uses .ext4 format. Ghetto lag fix already.
Use superoneclick 2.3.3 on rj's kernel to root 2.3.6
Cant flash this ROM successfully with ODIN and getting boot loops following the directions.
Reflashed but with no hope. Is this ROM only for EU INTL builds, as I have an INTL YP G70 but not EU version.

After you flash it,you get in a bootloop right?if yes then go to recovery and wipe data then power off,and on again.

Download Odin (can be found in this forum)
Download your stock firmware 2.3.6 (I dont know about the CHN_CHN Version)
Put your phone into Download Mode. (Power Off, Hold volume down+home+power button)
Run Odin
Choose PDA file which is your stock firmware.
Flash

IMPORTANT : While choosing model from the dropdown on Checkfusdownloader, choose "GT-I9100G"... Do not choose "GT-I9100".
相信你是个中国人,要不然应该不能买到中国版的9100G。

I tried this before when I first flashed to CM9, I get bootloops. Since then, I forever stick to ICS and never trying to convert back to GB although I wish to do so. I dare not and i'm lazy to deal with the bootloops.. I not sure why I get bootloops btw, some other ppl faced that as well. So I hope this brother able to convert back to GB successfully. Good luck.
To convert back to GB you have to flash an old GB bootloader for some reason after flashing the stock ROM. After that do a full wipe, everything else ended up in a bootloop for me.
Fingers crossed .

So end up you success? Would you mind to share the old GB bootloader? Not the stock rom. Is the particular bootloader. Thanks!!
Yes I succeeded converting back to GB stock ROM, now I'm on french ICS.
Here is the bootloader for german xxlb1 GB 2.3.6: http://uploadmirrors.com/download/0S0I4G2U/Bootloader_XXLB1.tar

I can flash GB stock GDZKL3 after flashing this bootloader right? bootloader should flash before flashing rom, or after flashing the rom? Thanks.
I tried both options. Try flashing the bootloader at first but don't forget to uncheck "Auto-Reboot" in odin. After that you should be able to flash the stock GB ROM. Do you have a jig just in case of any problems? I remember I used my jig, but don't really know why.

Development section is mean to release Rom. kernels, mods, etc. Not ask questions or making threads for help. Moved to Q&A

My SGS3 is rooted. I just recieved an OTA update. But...!

The device will reboot to recovery mode (CWM) and do nothing.
I'm guessing the CWM is the problem here.
Is there any safe solution for this? I don't want to wipe or backup or anything if possible.
Is there a way to just reverse the root?

Baseband version: I9300XXLF2
Build number: IMM76D.I9300XXALF2
Thanks for the help.
Just make the update with kies and reflash root with odin after update

No, I have Kies and I use. I just can't find the upgrade option.
For christ`s sake choose, if you want root forget about Samsung or stick with Samsung and forget about XDA. You can`t have it both ways :silly:

Please come back again when you can read. My problem is definitely not with rooting.
I'm having an issue with upgrading the firmware through the phone.
I would like to listen to you when you get off your high horse.

If you are rooted and you want to keep root delete FotaClient.apk and FWUpgrade.apk.in system/apps, you will not be bothered then with OTA`s.. For upgrades go to www.sammobile.com/firmware and flash the rom you downloaded with Odin v3 3.0.4.and reroot afterwards or flash with Mobile Odin Pro and keep root. See item 2 and 3 of my signature.

OTA update works with ClockworkMod Touch Recovery v6.0.1.4 (http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager)
It will fail signature validation and then give you an option to install anyway...

Well, you obviously can't flash a stock FOTA with CWM, you need a stock recovery (Don't know why) and then you can flash FOTAs..
Try flashing firmware using Kies, or downloading it from http://sammobile.com/firmware and flash it with Odin. Both will work

[Q] 4.1.2 OTA

Hi guys, I'm a new Galaxy S3 owner that is french no brand i9300XXDLJ2 with 4.1.1 stock, now I want to update to 4.1.2 but i dont want to lose all my things, I'm wainting for OTA message that I haven't get yet.. I though to flash through clockwork the OTA but I don't know where to download it..
Is it possible to update flashing the OTA of another country? If yes, could someone post it with a link to download? I need the no brand or Vodafone version, thanks to those who'll reply
sammobile.com has I9300 firmwares. And yes, you can flash firmware from other countries. Flash them using Odin. XDA does have CWM versions on General section. Search. All files will stay as long as you don't wipe anything.
