Hello, all. I'm trying to flash new 4.0.3 Android, but my problem is I have Mac only, and I can not root my SGS2. So, Odin, Odin mobile, zergRush - all this stuff is not for me.
I've downloaded and installed Heimdall, but when I try to upload this file I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar.md5 - the result is firmware.xml is missing from this package.
Is here somebody has performed such flashing to help me?

You are trying to flash the checksum (.md5) file. You need to flash the file ending in .tar - NOT .md5

Hello,
I just flashed with odin the new ICS firmware out on sammobile for sgs2 (I9100XXLP6 ##) which came with a file for PDA, for CSC and for Phone, but now that I am trying to flash again any 2.3.6. firmware I keep getting errors already at the start when associating my google account and stuff...
I assume that is because of the additional CSC and PHONE file that was included in I9100XXLP6 ## but I don´t know where to find the refering files for 2.3.6. firmwares since these only come with 1 file (for PDA)...
I would be glad for any help I can get
Hi,
Could you give more information about the errors? At what point do they occur? What errors do you get?
The csc files can be found somewhere on xda, use the search function. The file you need for the phone is called a modem, can also be found on xda.
Although I do not expect that this causes the errors, how did you restore? Did you while your phone and cache first?

What 2.3.6 rom are u trying to flash on?
If the DL was dodgy it would cause problems, redownload and reflash
PIT: if included, also optional
PDA:Code
Phone:modem
CSC:multi csc
Did you do a full wipe?

Make sure you are back on the GB boot loaders and that you have done a full wipe.

greetings hello I commented that the same thing happened to me the only thing I do is flash with this version XWKK5
follow these steps:
1.Install again (XXLP6) completely.
2.turn off the phone and enter download mode and install the (XWKK5).
3. Once you install the XWKK5 completely. turn off the phone and go into recovery mode and perform the wipes
I hope to help and luck.
I hope you understand me and sorry but my English is a bit bad jejjee
I flashed this update, throuch odin, and now the phone will only boot into download mode or the screen that says to use kies recovery. The problem is, even though I can boot into download mode, the computer no longer recognizes my phone. No sounds when I plug it in or anything. If I plug a jig in, it will come on so it's not the port. Can someone help me?

You need a three part firmware, with modem, csc and pda, flash with pit and repartition, to do a full wipe. I think you used a non wipe firmware, that's the reason for the bugs.
Question
When you flashed the LP6, did you flash it with the .pit file too? I suggest you flash back to your stock ROM but you also have to flash a .pit file as well. This happened to me too when I flashed the KP8 ROM. I reflashed my stock ROM but it kept giving me errors at the initial boot. So I flashed my stock ROM again this time with the same .pit file. If I'm not mistaken it's this: u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit

Did you get the 2.3.6 firmware? If not look at this thread from Infratech: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278. Have a good look at the section marked "Individual CSC Packages". Maybe this could help if you suspect a wrong CSC being the cause of your problem.
Hi there, please go easy on me. I did search XDA, googled other places and tried other things but getting the same. I am coming from iOS, got SGS2 and played a bit with it. Decided to flash new ROM as samsung stock was slow.
1. Rooted my phone with SuperOneClick.
2. Installed ClockWorkMod.
3. Downloaded CM7, put it onto my SGS2 and installed with ClockWorkMod (volume up+power+home)
4. Went further and got mysellf Simplistic ROM ICS XXLPB installed it with ClockWorkMod
5. Wanted to go back to CM7 so tired installing it with ClockWirkMod but something went wring and I ended up with sem-bricked SGS2
Whenever I fire up the phoone, the battery logo appears but is doesnt show itis charging. When I connect to KIES is isnt connecting the only (good) thing is I can put it in a download mode and Odin sees it so I caan try flashing it but whotever rom I am flashing in, I am getting the same "Invalid MD5 value."
I wanna go back to stock rom ERA PL (I9100XXKE4 ERA 05.2011 2.3.3) when I unrar it i got the following files, seems like PIT file is missing. Have a look at the attached. How do I restore my phone with ondin?

Im not an expert so you might want to wait for a more experienced persons comment....
but go to sammobile.com and download the firmware you want to flash....if PIT file is required you can search for it i believe, i remmeber ive seen a place earlier where you can download it.
Hope it helps

Thanks, but the thing is I got the stock firmware I wanna use, but I keep getting the same error "MD5 value invalid" is PIT a generic file for all roms or is it ROM related?

Pit comes with each firmware but onSGS2 so far i believe its the same one . Details are on the site you got firmware from follow their instructions .
PIT file is not required and its dangerous for noobs to use .
Invalid MD5 value.
Two reasons why One bad download file corrupted or Two the more usual user is not following the instructions and making their own up .

Thank you for your invaluable help.
can flash cm7 GT-i9100G ????
Go to intratech's thread about firmwares and download from there. And don't use PIT. You don't need it.

Hi guys noob here!
keepin it brief, i have brought a rooted galaxy s2 I9100.
it all works fine except:
- i cannot upload any data (songs/videos) to the fone
- update to ice cream sandwich (error message after data download)
- i cannot connect via kies air (browser error after connection)
attempting to re-root i have found a CNET how to root guide but with no luck
- my current kernel v is [email protected] #2
i have matched the closest insecure as well as secure kernel (I9100XWKDG) & attempted to flash them using Odin 3 but no luck
- i cannot unroot the phone either as i cannot flash a secure kernel using Odin 3
can anyone advise how to get the unusable phone features working again?
i dont mind if the phone is rooted or not
Grab a branded or unbranded stock rom or go to samfirmware and get a stock rom from there, flash the device and start fresh if you not bothered about root and want the stock apps back.
Selection of stock ics roms here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
im not to keen on wiping the fone just yet as i haven't backed it up fully,
in the meantime i downloaded odin3 v3.04 (was using v1.83 earlier) & re-attempted to flash the insecure kernel
the result was ''complete (write) operation failed''
any idea what this means ?
Edit: removed as I think I misunderstood some of your post.
So you are unable to flash the stock rom using ODIN?
Any how, not sure what it is going on, maybe you are not flashing the correct file.
I believe it is better not to use ODIN to root your phone, the new method to root is the safest and the easiest and you dont have to worry about your baseband version.
Here is the link on how to root GS2, the files needed can be downloaded from the link below the video.

Odin.
Remember that you need to download Samsung Kies Drivers previosuly. And, remember, WHILE YOU USE ODIN, KEEP KIES CLOSED.
Good luck!
Hey guys, I landed myself in a soft brick yesterday and odin wasn't working for me (which was a first). Then someone suggested I use Heimdall and it worked perfect. It brought me back to stock and I tried flashing CM7 from there. Now I am back in a soft brick but Heimdall is no longer working (and now odin doesn't even see my phone even though its in dl mode)
Here is what happens with the Heimdall process:
Uploading kernel...
Kernel upload successful
uploading Modem... <(this makes it no farther than 15%)
Modem upload failed!
Ending session...
If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated!
If you get this fixed your may want to avoid CM7 / 9 or ICS for a while.
While flashing CM7 it may or may not have repartitioned your phone. The Heimdall error - is that from 1-Click or the full program?
Does Heimdall see the phone?
Maybe try the full Heimdall program with stock and repartition. Also try Odin again but on a different computer.
I had in instance where I couldn't get into Recovery - I had the ! sign. Odin didn't see the phone but Heimdall did. 1-Click error so I fired up the full Heimdall program and just flash a new kernel. Then restarted in recovery and went from there.
Yet another reason I stay with Froyo / GB and not CM7/9 or ICS. I want to keep a stock style of partition setup and avoid repartitioning the phone all the time.
I am using the one from the link you gave me here: http://www.filereactor.com/zcl1dy7zl...Click.jar.html
Where can I find the full version? NVM I found it my only question now is which files should I use for the flash? The same as what I would use with odin?
Also yeah tried different comps for odin... same thing :/ but heimdall can see it just fine
"I had in instance where I couldn't get into Recovery - I had the ! sign. Odin didn't see the phone but Heimdall did. 1-Click error" <<< Thats exactly where Im at
On a side note: I just said that same thing... after I get it back I'm done with this phone lol I'm sticking with my HTC's... I've NEVER had so many problems in my life, no I remember why I stopped updating my vibrant 6 months ago LOL!

You cant with heimdall :/ I'm going to try using the full version like he suggested but cant find a working stock firmware link
This is getting extremely frustrating... Im reading the guide on heimdall and they say to add about 5 files but mine has nothing like that... I can only add the "heimdall firmware package" and the pit file :/ I tried getting the firmware file from sammobile but their download links dont work for some reason... nothing seems to ever go right with this phone

Yeah you can but you'll need the real version, and I'm pretty sure the new one is based on packages, so you may want to get the command line version.
Paraphrasing of course:
Code:
heimdall flash --kernel zImage --cache cache.rfs
--dbdata dbdata.rfs --param param.lfs
--factoryfs factoryfs.rfs
When you say full version are you talking about this?

also would you know where I can get the stock firmware other than sammobile?
It may have loaded a kernel for you via heimdall. Can you get to Recovery?
Im at work and cant check but - I think the Odin .tar package is just the Heimdall individual packages. Extract the odin image. You will also need the 512 pit file.
Heimdall should have come with instructions. That front end you will prob be working with the 2nd tab since you dont have a full Heimdall package.
Edit:
Also look for difference Odin versions. Sound silly but some folks got an older version to work.
Hi Guys
Im currently using the galaxy s2 I9100 and am trying my damdest to root my phone via the info in the following forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
I understand the instructions and have downloaded the necessary tools to proceed.......But everytime i download the relevant Kernal and try and find it via the PDA button in Odin. It doesn't recongise it in *.tar, *.md5 or *.smd format.
Ive unzipped and extracted the files via Winzip and now J Zip, but yet im still getting the same problem of Odin not picking it up.
It's proberley an easy fix and im just doing something blatenly easy......completely wrong
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Hi!
I just tried with the XXLQ7 kernel, and it worked for me. did you enter the password when extracting the zip?
anyway: there are easier ways to root than this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20075898&postcount=8
these kernels are prerooted and come with SuperUser App, BusyBox support and CWM*. And you don't need to use that "Samsung Quick Root" thingie. just flash the kernel in odin, the same way the other guide explained. (sidenote: afaik it doesn't have to be the exact same kernel (e.g. XXLQ7 or whatever) but only the same android version. no ICS kernel on GB rom but else you should be fine. if possible use one with v5.5 or 5.6)
if you really can't get odin to work (I guess you are using v.1.85), search for it on google, and use the newest version. (mine is 3.04, maybe there's a newer one alerady.) I've never heard of that problem, but one never knows.
*an app, very handy for backups!
