I've spent the last 2 days trying to fix my mistake. I have the GS2 ATT version, and I didn't realise there was a difference between that and the GTI9100 S2.
I wanted to give some tips I learned on how to recover your phone if you make this mistake.
First, here are some posts you'll want to look at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432 - Stock firwmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285823 - Clockworkmod for the ATT
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286192 - Cyanogenmod for our phones.
Using Odin and the stock firmware, you can recover your phone to a 95% working state. Once I got my stock firmware on there, I found that while making calls my phone made no sound, and the mic didn't work. The mic did work when I wasn't making calls though.
I reflashed the modem.bin file found on the stock firmware, not sure if its required but that is what I did first. Then, I unpacked the rooted stock firmware, and flashed JUST THE zImage file. After doing this, I rebooted, and my calls were working again.
After that, I installed the correct version of Clockworkmod, and then CM7 nightly. Now everything seems to be running great on my phone.
Hope this helps someone out there,

Been awhile since I messed w/ android. I forgot about the different models myself until I realized I was spending half my day in the wrong section
Could you please explain the flashing of the CM Nightlies process to me? I can flash the signed base build but can't flash any of the added on nightlies...

In other words I can't flash the nightly builds like the latest 77 or any others for that matter.

Those are NOT for our version of the GS2, International only. Our version is here in the development forum.

Yes, it will return a status error 7 which means it's unmatched. Ask me how I know. I flashed international roms last night and used this fix to get me good again.
I flashed a KE7 I9100 build to my I777 and saw no ill effects other than incorrect capacitive button mapping. Which build did you flash? Did you make sure to wipe data factory reset afterwards.
So you are saying that you wre able to flash Euro ROMS and your phone booted just fine? Mine didnt boot at all. Did you flash the KERNEL for ATT on top of it ?

The simple thing would be to change out the sec_touchkey.kl with rootexplorer and take the sec_touchkey from system/usr/keylayout should fix the i9100 rom to work with the i777. Seeing as how this worked for the Captivate *i897* for jvr, jvs, and jvt darkyrom releases and I would assume that it would work.

Personally I would think that you had a bad flash? Did you flash through Odin or CWM? From what I have been reading the gb bootloaders between the i777 and i9100 are different and I can see if you used a custom i9100 rom flashing via cwm could cause that. Since I am not too sure on the sgs2 if the differences between the euro models versus the carrier locked, the Kernel will not fix the button mapping, I learned this with the captivate when I switched over to using DarkyRom jvr and jvs builds since they were the most stable of GB for the i897 captivate. Plus if you are going to run a i9100 rom, I am sure the modem will not work with the att kernel. Especially if the situation with the cappy is any indication that att kernel needs att modem and i9000 kernel needs i9000 modem. I will be able to know more as soon as I get my i777 tomorrow.
HTH,

Does anyone know how to remove the i9100 splash screen?
Google Talk Video does not work after updating to CyanogenMod 7 and back to stock rom. Any suggestion ?

wipe data/factory reset
tried that three times... didnt help..
Did the same thing and made it back to ATT version and running CM7 for now. Still have an I9100 boot screen with a yellow logo. How do I get rid of that?
SO why do you say this flashes you back to 95%? Is there no 100% return to stock fix?

Use a download mode jig or flash entropy 512's stock TAR kernel with Odin from the link below.

Some people need to wipe or also flash the modem for 100%.
Also, people who managed to flash a bootloader without hardbricking can't get back to stock with any confirmed method.
I have posted bootloader dumps, but no one has flashed them and I'm not messing with trying to flash them. They are dumps from my device and that is the ONLY guarantee I provide for them.

i messed up and flashed an i9100 rom and am having the call prob u described. can i just flash the modem or stock rooted kernel and be back to 100%? if so do i use odin and do i need to check the box for repartition or anything like that? thx in advance!!!
I am using my ATT Note in Turkey with a different GSM operator. I want to upgrade my phone from GB to ICS UCLD3.
Will I face any problem with getting reception if I upgrade my rom to leaked ICS UDLD3?
You shouldn't have any issues at all if your phone works fine there on GB. But make a backup of your current setup anyway, that way if there is an issue you can just restore your backup.

I have just stock GB. It is not rooted nor CWM installed.
Would it solve the problem to install back existing GB version if I have a problem with ICS?
I hope i will not face any problem as you said

I'm on Tmobile and using UCLE3 with the modded Modems. You shouldn't have any issues, but you will need to be rooted and have CWM to flash the ROMs. You can always flash back to GB if you don't like ICS. IMO ICS is the way to go. More features, faster browsing and slightly better battery life.
so im sick of the massive overheating issue when i do anything on my phone, so i want to roll back to the previous version of gingerbread i had. is there any issue if i just flash an official rom using odin? or is there anything else that ics updated, that could cause problems? i updated to ics through kies.
cheers

Could be that Kies also updated your bootloader.
Just try to flash an GB ROM.
If you experience any booting issue, you may have to flash an GB bootloader.
You can find the different bootloaders here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16781156&postcount=2
Just look for a grey box with red text.
You can flash the bootloader in PDA section of Odin - same way like for the ROM or kernel.

Heat issues usually solved by a wipe, modem change, kernel change.
If you have not wiped, it's a good time now, as you have to do it anyway when you go from ICS to GB.
noob here,
I am very new to android, I have a Galaxy S4 SCH-i545, About a month ago I rooted the phone and flashed Hyperdrive 7 on it, it worked great, then when version 8 came out, upgraded. Now I cant turn off the phone or restart it because it stay in the custom boot screen, One thing I noticed is that the baseband (I545VRUAMDK) and build (JDQ39.I545VRUAME7) are different, is this normal? thanks
Yes, this is normal. The rom you're on is an ME7 base, but your firmware (modem) is still your stock MDK modem. This shouldn't cause you a bootloop.
thanks

Hey guys, i was wondering if its possible to flash over your stock rom through safestrap? And if i did would it mess my phone up any? could i still use utility's or rsd lite to get my phone unbricked if i somehow did?
The reason for me wanting to do this is because for some reason my stock rom "messed up" idk how.. but my wifi does not work. I do not know if lte works either as i am currently out of america and have no service. Wifi does not work on stock rom, cm11, any other roms. Other than cm 10.1.3. Idk why but thats just how it is and i do not know how to fix it. Numerous re-flashes to stock to no avail. i was thinking that if i flashed 10.1.3 over stock that it would fix the wifi on stock and possibly allow wifi to work on other roms so i can finally upgrade to 4.4.2!!
Any thoughts? thanks guys
I think you can in the latest safestrap (3.65),but I've never done it.
Also, from my understanding, you should still be able to fastboot/utility/red lite

You can flash it using SS 3.65. Just make sure the ROM is supported by newer version of SS(All new ROMs are). You can use the utility or RSD Lite to flash the fastboot files after if you need.
