i dont think so since lot of people using i9100g started facing problems when they used roms r kernels built specifically for i9100 hence not recomnded the rom devloped for i9100 to flash with i9100p
but still u can give a try @ ur own risk

Yes you can. I have the I9100P from Orange. For all intent and purpose they both are exactly the same model except the I9100P has NFC built in. Just dont flash any I9100G firmware.

Can you get into download mode using the 3 button combo (vol down/menu/power)
if you can, flash your latest firmware using Odin from here
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=-1
If not, can you get hold of a USB jig.
PS always double check the firmware/kernel or anything else before flashing.

Flashing N.E.A.K. should have also rooted your phone.
Dont you hate it when the OP seemingly decides not to take part in his/hers own thread before we know the outcome of the question they posed or even if the problem was resolved by the other members who actually searched google;(save the OP doing it), for their benifit!!

Honestly.. I am new on andriods phones. As a begginer I take the risk to root it myself followed by this website:
But after I flash it in Odin.. My phone stuck at the boot screen and has a yellow triangle down there. I tried Recovery mode but it won't start the recovery mode. Just download mode.
What should I do!?
I am from Malaysia.. O_O
Are my phone bricked? Bootloops? And I need to do something like firmware?
I would like to flash back if can..

GT-i9100G.. Is it from the back of the box? Or in it?
If you have an I9100G, you'll need an I9100G kernel. You can find stock ones in Odia's thread: [KERNEL] Insecure Kernels for use with rooting, i.e. GT-I9100G_DZKI1_original and GT-I9100G_ZCKHI4_original. Don't flash an I9100G kernel unless you're absolutely sure yours is I9100G though.

Yes, If you really have a "G", best you check out the previous posters link to the "G" specific thread.
Sorry, can't help you any more than that as not 100% familiar with your model. Don't want to make things worse . G requires different firmware than than the International or T versions that I have.
Best of luck.

As i was Using CF Root. Ehenever i tried to install Siyah. My phone got Soft Bricked so i had to Install CF Root again to Get ot Working.

If you are already rooted using CF-ROOT kernel, then trying to use a non-kernel method again, is both hilarious and time wasting.
If flashing Siyah kernel is your priority, in order to overclock, then let's go straight to the point

I assume from the information given above:
1. You are presently on ICS 4.0.3 xxlpj firmware.
2. You rooted your phone via non-kernel method and your phone was rooted.
3. You did not ROOT your phone by flashing CF-ROOT kernel, contrary to what you claimed in your first and second posts
3. Anytime you flash Siyah kernel image via mobile Odin, your phone is stucked on boot.
Please correct me if I'm wrong or missed anything

Because, 4.0.4 has brick bug on its stock kernel, you only have two options.
1. Flash a prerooted ICS 4.0.4 firmware via CWM recovery, then flash a custom kernel via temporary CWM recovery.
2. Flash ICS 4.0.4 firmware via Odin. You will lose ROOT and CWM recovery, then flash a custom kernel via Odin to have ROOT and CWM recovery back.
Which option are you going for?

Hi All,
I'm new to this forum.
Currently I'm using my SGS II with ICS Stock (4.0.4) upgraded through Samsung Kies (hope it clears that I've stock ROM).
My Baseband version : I9100DDLPB
Kernel Version : 3.0.15-1056084 [email protected] #3 SMP PREEMPT
Build Number : IMM76D.XWLPW
I've recently rooted my phone to flash the custom ROM.
But today i checked some posts from this forum that, flashing a SGS II running on Stock 4.0.4 may brick the handset here.
I read the complete post and got very much disappointed that I couldn't flash any custom ROM from my Stock ROM, but lastly I looked over the firmwares which have these emmc bug and found that my device is not in the list.
So with this information can anybody tell me whether I can go for flash the custom ROM ? or do I need to flash a new Kernel ? :angel:
Thanks,
Hereticnine.
If it's not listed as an 'insane chip' (affected by the emmc bug then it should be safe to wipe. But if you're gonna be flashing a custom ROM eventually,you may as well flash a custom kernel now itself. Just to be completely safe, ya know?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
install eMMC Check from Play Store, and see whether you have a faulty chip

My Bad !!!!
Just now checked with an app available on Google Play, eMMC Brickbug Check and got the result as "Insane Chip".
Also tried with Got Brick bug found in this forum. It also said the same like DANGER !!! :crying: :crying:
So I think, customization is over for me !!!! I should stay out from flashing ROMs.
And HAXTREME, Thanks for the reply.
Thanks,
Hereticnine.
Flash a safe kernel which has MMC_CAP_DISABLED (e.g. siyah kernel) on your rom with odin. You will get yellow triangle but you can remove it later with triangle away if you want to
From that point on you can flash any custom rom you want or or do a wipe from cwm...
Key is making sure you're running a safe kernel all the time, then you should have no problems, as long as you flash roms which are compatible with I9100 international version

I would not wait for Samsung fixing anything in regards of this matter. The community has brought this huge issue to their attention long time ago and nontheless they released / keep releasing (?) dangerous updates to their customers!

AS to an update from Samsung I do not believe there will be one as they are releasing Jellybean by the endof the year,
JB uses a totally different file structure.

Thank you All for your replies.
I've downloaded the latest Siyah Kernel, I'll try to flash it and hope it goes without any issues.
Please tell me if I need to take care of anything else while flashing Siyah Kernel.
I did the nandroid backup & took all other back ups using Titanium.
Hope it suffices for flashing.
Thank you.

Well, about the brick bug, I just know there's a app to detect the chip and unfortunately my phone has the insane chip. but if I'm not mistaken I've been wiped my phone several times with 4.0.4 stock kernel before yet it's still safe till now, it's the checker or I'm just being lucky? but nevermind there's leaked 4.1.2 now haha..

AFAIK the brick bug is non-deterministic. So you could wipe data several times without a problem n suddenly one time you try it n your phone is a rather expensive paperweight. If your phone indeed has an 'insane chip' count yourself lucky and don't risk it too often.

Hi All,
I'm new to this forum.
Currently I'm using my SGS II with ICS Stock (4.0.4) upgraded through Samsung Kies (hope it clears that I've stock ROM).
My Baseband version : I9100DDLPB
Kernel Version : 3.0.15-1056084 [email protected] #3 SMP PREEMPT
Build Number : IMM76D.XWLPW
I've recently rooted my phone to flash the custom ROM.
But today i checked some posts from this forum that, flashing a SGS II running on Stock 4.0.4 may brick the handset here.
I read the complete post and got very much disappointed that I couldn't flash any custom ROM from my Stock ROM, but lastly I looked over the firmwares which have these emmc bug and found that my device is not in the list.
So with this information can anybody tell me whether I can go for flash the custom ROM ? or do I need to flash a new Kernel ? :angel:
Thanks,
Hereticnine.

Hi kilometers4,
Thanks for the information, can you please share me the link, where can I get this kernel latest version for S2 ?
Thanks,
Hereticnine.
Yipee !!
Today I flashed PhilZ Kernel & later tried Dorimanx Kernel too.
I like the Dorimanx kernel, it has several options.
BTW, how can I check / ensure that I'm free from Brickbug now ??

you will never be totally free of the brick bug, since it is embedded in the kernal. Developers of Philz, Dorimanx and others have edit the code that cause the brick bug to disable it.
When flashing avoid using any stock kernal from 4.0.4 and above to avoid the embedded brick bug software.

If you are just looking for the latest firmware for your phone you can use CheckFus to find and download it.

Interesting - 'cause you said "there is nothing there", which seems to contradict that you knew.
But anyways - JPKJ2 appears to be for the Middle East region. So if you care about having Middle Eastern languages, then stick to one from that region.
Otherwise, as long as your phone model is I9100, then it shouldn't matter what region the firmware comes from, as long as it is specifically for an I9100. Just make sure you don't use an I9100G firmware. Though, I have heard of people having issues with firmwares for the China region. I can't speak on that personally though, as I've never tried one.
