Hey there, I installed ICS 4.0.3 on to my S2 yesterday, after using it for a day, the battery drains way too fast, the music player keeps crashing, and other various apps keep crashing. I would like to revert to GB 2.3.6.
I used to have KK2, and im on LP8. I dont play around with ROMs so these are all stock ROMs.
Someone please guide me on what to do. I did a search but that didnt help me much

I have odin and the stock roms.....which were given to me, i would just like to know the procedure, to go from ICS to GB as I think i need to wipe my phone and so on.
The file i currently have is GT-I9100_XSA_I9100XWKK2_I9100XSAKK1_I9100XXKI4.tar.md5
yup do a full factory reset and flash gb via odin **imp** jus for ur info the modem of ics remain afta flashin gb too,well i seen it all the time and i used to flash gb modem separately..
just make a factory reset from the phone menu,
and flash it form ODIN...
there are newer GB versions available than your choosen one...
I just hope you tried the newer ics stocks and wiped after flash and didn't restore anything. Ics working just fine on my brothers s2 for a month and I'm running stock just fine since yesterday

I upgraded to ICS via kies and did not wipe after upgrading....will wiping make the phone work any better, I am wanting to downgrade due to the battery life being VERY bad with ICS
m8 check pm***
Wipe will make day and night difference but you will lose your apps and data. And you should not restore your backups from GB to Ics
Dial *2767*3855# to wipe

Hey fellas, i'm looking to send my phone to Samsung for servicing, but obviously i cant let them see that i'm running ICS because it isnt out in Singapore yet.
so i've download DXLP7 in hope that i could flash my country's firmware before returning my phone.
Download both the kernel and the 7zip file that is 310mb in size.
opened the massive file to only find one tar file, so if i flash that via odin, my phone will completely return to stock?
as in a condition that the service centre wont suspect?
what about the kernel that i downloaded, do i have to flash that as well?
Much appreciate some help.
Regards,
Shawn.

Look at the battery status wich app is draining your battery.
Yesterday i didnt use my phone for 2 hours, before my battery was around 50% but after the 2 hour my battery was only 18%. I looked at my battery report/status and it said:
Xda 29
Screen 27
And some things like
Bla bla 7
Bla bla 4
...
Mostly my screen haves around 60% so, now xda is the same value but the screen didnt use more or less energy so.........
Thanks to the xda app my battery drained 2x so hard.
I gues (how do you spell that?) you also use the xda app and it alsobis your problem.

Hello All,
I am a noob.
So I am looking into going back to GB 2.3.5
I have flashed stock ICS Netherlands XWLP7 and I have downloaded the firmware of my country.
Which is: GT-I9100_EGY_I9100JPKJ2_I9100OJPKJ1_I9100XXKI4.tar.md5
And kernal: Kernel_I9100JPKJ2.tar.md5
I have a question, it has been explained to me that I need to flash these files using odin+flashing a PIT file and using re-partition.
I could not find a PIT file? where do I get it from to go along with my firmware?
And, do I need to flash a Modem?
Is it possible for the kind soul thats going to answer my questions to put it in 1,2, 3 steps so I can understand what do to first?
I.E
1- Flash kernal
2- Flash firmware
or what?
Thanks a lot!
@ Sn3aks:
What is the reason you are downgrading to GB?
What is the condtion of your phone now?
Who advised you to use pit file?
---------- Post added at 10:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 AM ----------
the firmware package you have mentioned already contains a kernel, no need of flashing kernel seperately..that is uploaded in the thread for future use when you needed to flash after rooting.
Thanks for your reply.
I am downgrading cause GB is more stable than ICS. Music player lags with some songs
Random crashes
I can not modify the in-call headset/handset volume from the servicemode. If you click Audio it doesnt come up with anything. And the in-call voice through earphones is really low
And other stuff that annoyed me and I couldnt remember.
The noticeable improvement in ICS is battery life and performance is fast
What is the condtion of your phone now?
My phone is ok, working fine, making calls, going over the internet normaly, IMEI is valid. Not rooted. Binary count = NO
Faryaab advised me to use a PIT file. I checked the guide in your signature and I read that anyone who asks about PIT file is a moron. Is this my case?
I dont think PIT file is required in your case,
You can try without using PIT first.

hello all,
Before I being, i searched a bit in this forum and in web. But the questions i have still are not answered.
I on KE2 stock ROM. i have an unbranded SGSII. I have rooted using steps mentioned here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
I want to install any of the custom Roms or the newer ROMS mainly because the battery usage sucks. with some hour music and calls battery get drained easily.
I dont mind updating to latest stock ROM also as long as it solves the problem.
Kies dose not offer me an upgrade and its also grayed out for some reason
Here is my SGSII specs
Code:
Product Code: GT-I9100LKADBT (From RegEdit)
PDA: I9100XWKE2
Phone: I9100XXKDJ
CSC: I9100OXXKE2
Baseband: I9100XXKDJ
If I have some problem, I want to revert back to Stock rom before giving it to Samsung. I have also ordered a USB Jig. It should be on the way now. So i can reset the counter as well.
Before flashing, I want to know what all i should do. Is it just fine If i flash the firmware file? Also in Samfirmware i see something called pit files.
can anyone help me in flashing the correct rom?
thank you
All Custom ROM's give detailed installation instructions in the first couple of posts.
For what it's worth, having tried a number of different ROM's, VillainRom 1.4 has the best battery for me. 2 days with moderate use.
+ Villian rom but read and understand the instructions before you start .
jje
Cognition S2 is a good rom, full instructions for flashing.
If you look in the android development section, theres also a thread with all stock firmwares, kernals and tutorials for flashing
thank you all.
I was wondering about how to revert back in case of some problem. Also do I need to take care something about the baseband etc?
I am kind of new so thats what makes me tensed! I dont want to screw up the mobile.
Don't worry, once you have USB jib, you can reset Odin flash counter and this is a safe way to rescue you in case of brick.
In terms of baseband, ke4 or kf2 are the best ones. Kf2 kernel + kf2 base band is a good combination. You can try many ones and choose by yourself.
On xda, there are all stock firmware to rollback if needed.
Take a look at the stock rom and branded roms post in Dev section find your phone and download a copy of the rom.
That can be flashed back via Odin to original state wiping any root and stock roms .

How about ROM Manager ? i read that It can install ROMS over air
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-koushikdutta-rommanager-nptD.aspx
Don't use that as far as know. My kernel wasn't supported and it took me days before my recovery mode was working as I wanted. Maybe it works with other kernels, but with my bad experience thus far I don't install that again.

Installing rom manager is not an issue... Very few custom rom are compatible with this. Afaik Cognition rom is one of them.

You think I can install ROMS with this? no more Odin?
No this is a little bit more complicated. You need a rom compatible with this like cognition seemed to add. The main idea is to have a rom compatible with rom manager and this will allow you to change to another rom compatible with this. Unfortunately, there are not so many custom rom... Perhaps sicopat's one?
I justed wanted to say that rom manager is not dangerous to install and even to launch.
OK Thank you,
But I am still confused If i need to update the modem etc. Let me do some more search
You can upgrade modem version by Odin flash mode separately to the rest.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950
Just download a modem.bin file or gets it from a complete firmware by unzip.
Put modem.bin into phone area of Odin and start accordingly of normal flash processing.
Thanks bgn9000
MY whole worry is whether to update modem or not. I dont want to mess with my phone as i think there is no downgrade.
Looks like I have to invest more time in understanding this flashing
Hi guys.
I'm new here so please bear with me if i am in the wrong section.
I've flashed my sgs2 with litening 6.1 rom, and i am really really really glad that i got the rom, BUT... since i am as before mentioned a big ass noob, and since it was a pre rooted rom, so i didn't need to root my stock rom before flashing the litening 6.1 rom, but i made a mistake ... i didn't backup my stock rom ...
so here is the dilema. i want to unroot my galaxy s2 since there is an official 2.3.5 rom for sgs2, and i would really like to get my hands on it since the battery consumption is a huge issue on other roms.
anybody who got 5 minute of spare time to explain which rom (maybe post a link directly for the rom) to install and how to do it ... my friend was all about "flash recovery, wipe bla bla bla" ... that is foreign language to me ...
I am from denmark so i would appreciate if anyone could show me the link to the standard stock rom for scandinavian region. please once again, just writing "flash in recovery mode ... etc" wont help me much ... just a little more detailed description would be appreciated.
in advance thank you for your replies
You can just download the stock rom you want , get your phone to download mode and use odin to flash it. Put the .tar file on the pda section in odin.do not tick repartition!
This will put everthing in stock again including unroot.
Hope this help

About wipe. If you get boot loop then do wipe.
You just need to download one file.no need the separate kernel.

noob asking Q again ... i've downloaded this firmware
GT-I9100_HTD_I9100XWKF4_I9100NEKF2_I9100HTDKF2.exe - 263 MB, BUT ... how the heck do i flash an .exe file on my device?
and i've downloaded this kernel too: I9100XWKF4_Kernel.exe
so, i extracted the first 263 MB file, from exe, and than it turns into .rar file ... when i extract the rar file i get a lot of small files, more than i need to. so how can i install this FW on my sgs2 ? i don't think that it's possible to do through odin ...?? should i put the .rar file on the root of my SD card and than flash it with CWM ??? and should i also flash the kernel or does this first file contain kernel already?

anyway, thx a lot for ur help
Yes its all in one file(zip). its as easy as it shows you.
So i flashed that zip file and got bootloop afterwards :-( so i had to wipe my data and than flash the rom again :-( pain in the ass to lose my pwrfect set up.. Now i gotta start from scratch again :-(

There is no stock UCKK6 (2.3.6) but you can download and flash a Stock plus root version of UCKK6. See Entropy512's thread which is a sticky in the development forum.
...Or you can flash fully stock UCKH7 (2.3.4). See the link in my signature for the return to the store guide.

I will add this if you flashed UCLE5 via kies or any other method to get your ICS besides AJ's thread you have an unsafe kernel and possible eMMC SUPERBRICK BUG make sure you DON'T wipe data/factory reset before you flash this package do it after you flashed a safe GB kernel... If it were me knowing KK6 2.3.6 has battery drain issues I would flash KH7 2.3.4..... Just use creeys thread to get the files here is the link... GL

that i had got from sammobile i didn't see the other post till now and i also upgraded to ics from kies i can get into download mode but when i try recovery i held power and volume rockers and it's suppose to flicker once it does not do this it just stays there
You can upgrade to the stock 2.3.6 by downloading the stock 2.3.4 firmware from the download repository here in our forums, then after you are booted into the operating system, go to settings, scroll all the way to the bottom to software update, and it will download and install 2.3.6. I wouldn't suggest it , just because I don't like it or think it runs well, but try it out. Good luck, happy flashing.

i still cant find any solution for my phone..

you could try Blazing Kernel, it can be flashed via stock recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113545.
Or you could also flash original GB and upgrade to JB either through OTA or KIES.

Or you could also flash original GB and upgrade to JB either through OTA or KIES.

I have tried that two methods, Flashing GB (everything works great), flashing ICS (everything works great too), and then JB trough OTA and the touch screen doesnt work properly. I have tried the last Blazing Kernel too without success.
Thanks for the help.
Any ideas?
Try stock kernel. Customs aren't ready yet.

The stock Kernel file is already on the Stock JB Odin file?

Dosent work either. :/
We have the same problem dude, touch screen not working properly after stock jb (xef) flash but working flawlessly when phone is plugged. I can't have a custom rom above 4.2.1, else I have the problem. Now I'm on CM10.1 4.2.1 and can't leave it because of this, the official rom I want is the official.
Did you got the screen of your phone replaced ? Because mine was and I was wondering if it was that.

Not sure if it was replaced because I bought it used on ebay.
But are you using CM10.1 4.2.1 without touch screen problems? Can you tell me the date of the release so I can try to flash my phone with that ROM?
Thanks
Yeah without touch screen problem. It's 20130213 nightly

Thanks for your reply.
I just find the 20130214. Is that one? I will try it.
My phone was rooted (very recently) and I reset the counter to 0; all was working fine - stock firmware Jelly Bean from ICS. I do not use custom firmware.
I reset my phone and since then my phone is constantly going through boot loop. I re-flashed a few times with success in odin the stock firmware however even after success the phone remains in boot loop. I cannot get access to the recovery console but the phone does enter download mode. As an idiot I re-flashed the root kernel again since flashing the firmware would have wiped the root (?) to see if I could now access the recovery console - made no difference but this has triggered the counter to 1. I have Googled (including this site) for a resolution to this problem and the only option I seem to have is to flash PIT file:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1760107
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886
I have the international version (factory unlocked XEU S2 16GB) and and I'm not sure which PIT file to use.
I am reluctant to try this method in case I damage the phone.
I am new to all this and can somebody who is knowledgeable advise me what to do next. I would be most grateful.

Thank you for your reply. This is what I have flashed. First JB then ICS. Stock firmware from this site. The boot screen did change however from JB to ICS when I falshed back from JB to ICS but to no avail; still boot loop.

Thank you once again for your reply. I am sorry for the misunderstanding, as mentioned before I am new to this. Thank you for your patience but would it matter what stock kernel I use or can I use any stock Samsung kernel with XEU. The repair center has my phone at present and they are looking to charge me saying I rooted. Counter was 0 (even fault already occurred by this time) but when I flashed Siyah kernel successfully still no recovery console. Re flashed firmware to stock a few times (always at stock) but counter as stated before went to 1 - couldn't get rid of this. Due to this they want to charge! Many thanks

Tell em to f*ck off, get the device back, you'll get it working, and not via pit file.

It's just a bootloop, you can nuke it up and all.
I'd advice against any forum aside from xda tho, just report here and we'll get you up & runnin' in no time.

Many thanks again. I'll keep you guys updated!
Got my phone back. After much disputing the phone has been repaired by the service center. I had to pay them but the retailer paid me for the repair - tried to cancel the repair but it was too late so I could go about fixing it myself. They have left the counter at 1. I have now got rid of this (rooted (siyah) - triangle away - re flashed back to stock ICS 4.0.4). All worked well.
However I am having difficulty finding the stock kernel for the handset just in case the above happens again when I upgrade to JB again. It has been a great (although stressful) learning curve and I am learning an enormous lot from this site amongst others. Seem to have got the bug for this...no programming experience though!!!
Details on the phone are:
Kernel Version 3.0.15 -I9100XWLPT-CL941023
Hence kernel XWLPT, so the question is, which stock kernel am I to download? Looked in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
but cannot find it.
Many thanks

You got lucky there, they must have missed the binary count.
Here's what you need:
Mobile Odin Pro:
- Lets you go back and forth with stock ROMs.
- Roots the ROM while it flashes it (optional)
- Flashes with own kernel (GB based) so no brick bug danger.
- Easy, fast and reliable.
- 5 bucks (well spent)
LSJ:
This is JB leak, it's great ROM to get you out of trouble, no bootloops and stuff, and works as a step stone for official JB.
Flash Code, Phone & CSC only.
I9100 ROMs:
Bunch of 4.0.3, 4.0.4 & 4.1.2 ROMs.
Online Android Backup.:
Awesome tool to back your current ROM for a rainy day.
No, no. They spotted the counter at 1. Retailer refunded; disputed root. Service center were b*****ds. Will try your method in future, but is there a stock kernel for XWLPT, or which one is the closest? Thanks for your help so far!
UPDATE:
Found it thank you. Viewed that page (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487) before bust missed the kernel bit below!!!!
