Thank you !!1
i have installed your link but??
the screen always stays same on the phone (Sony ercicsson make.believe)
nothing happen ?:İ(
my brothers i have solved the problem
i would like to thank miliions times who have contributed to fix this annoying problem.
Solution:
1-you should have 2.3.4 android version.
2-you need to mount below kernel in flash mode
http://www.mediafire.com/?7g6gz2mpp1ljb46
and thats all very easy but:
The critical line is that im not aware of it and i think most people in this site as well
..
the most important thing YOU SHOULD INSTALL A COMPATIBLE KERNEL WITH YOU STOCK OR CUSTOM ROM IF NOT YOU WONT BE ABLE TO OPEN YOUR PHONE
IT WILL ALWAYS STAY THE SUCH AS XPERIA OR SONY ERICSSON SCREEN
TO AWOID SUCH CASES BE CAREFULL AND BE AWERE OF THAT YOU INSTALL THE COMPATIBLE KERNEL WITH YOUR ROM
thank you!
Tbh if you don't know anything of kernel/rom compatibility you really shouldn't be flashing anything.
This is not a personal dig, just kills me the number of posts like this, where folk say they didn't know.
101 for anything firmware related, understanding the process and having a backup plan as things can and do go wrong
Most devs post recommended kernel either in Rom or in the post.

Hi
I got hold of a S2 and would like to know if there is a CF-Root option for this phone ... details of the updated phone:
Model: GT-9100G
Android:
2.3.6
Baseband:
I9100GXXKL4
Kernel:

[email protected] #2Build number:

No. If you flash I9100 firmware (rom or kernel) on your I9100G you will brick it. Try this thread.

You mention your links ... but all I see there is:

How is this relevant to my version?
How would I know exactly what kernels are in that thread ? Have you read past the first page or searched the thread ? Thought not Have you bothered to search for yourself ? Again, I doubt it.

It's nice to blast when you have the answers ... the forum is for questions ... even in the last few pages in your thread (as this is one of the latest builds) ... people are asking the same question on the version with no answers from you ... so that is why I asked the question.
If you were looking for a version and didnt know where to find it ... Im sure you would love getting a response like this? ... And I have flashed and rooted my tablet and sgs1 ... for this specific build on the s2 I didnt see it ... so perhaps if its not the biggest amount of brain-drain for you ... please could you provide a link maybe? ... It would others find it fast too ... you do have an extensive number of posts ... and a 1st page find for a new version just helps people looking for it .... what you think?
Me provide a link after that little tanty ? Um, how about no ? Not going to happen.

I actually have been searching on the build number and have not found any answer on it. I wouldn't have asked the question if I found the answer. Previously I have found all the answers for my tablet and sgs1 here with no need to ask as I could fine relevant version to flash them and root them. If I don't need to talk to anyone about it I wouldnt ... just with so many versions of phones even the sgs1, it is a risk to get hold of the wrong versions.
Anyway .. too much tıme and effort wasted already just writing the comments on this question. Thanks for showing interest

Hi .. yes I got it sorted (but not wıth the help or direction from the guys above) ... I now have the g version rooted and flashed (althought I have the yellow triangle on boot - Im not worrıed about that, root more ımportant). If you have pre v 2.3.6 then you can root it without using odin. Odin causes the triangle. If you have not udpated to yet and are on 2.3.5 or earlier let me know as there is ways to root and get the Clockworkmod Recovery loaded without using Odin, thus not increasing the binary counter.
I also have the international version which was pre 2.3.6 so I got that rooted etc all fine this way and then flashed it (from the internal SD to ICS 4.0.3 without increasing the counter).

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately my phone is brand new (1 day old) and I installed the latest Samsung OTA update already (stupid, I know) so I am on 2.3.6 with kernel 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2 and build XXLB1.
I want to get an ICS ROM running ASAP but I'm only familiar with HTC phones and not Samsung root methods. I'm not sure if I can use SuperOneClick or if I have to use Odin (and which kernel to use?) ... there's a lot of info out there but it's really hard to find someone with my exact model/rev and I don't want to brick my new baby!
It sounds like I should use Odin, but could you explain what kernel you used when you rooted? Thanks very much!!
EDIT: Not sure this matters as far as which kernels I can flash, but my baseband is I9100GXXKL4.

Hi ... I had the same concerns ... 1 day old and how not to brick it ... In the end I just decided to go at it and get it sorted. I downloaded the following ROM to flash with ODIN (I9100GXWKJ2_I9100GODDKJ2_INU.zip) ... you can get it from hotfile.com (http://hotfile.com/dl/147046000/0697ece/I9100GXWKJ2_I9100GODDKJ2_INU.zip.html) ... I loaded it in Odin (phone in download mode) using the PDA option (if the zip has a password, just use the following as the password: samfirmware.com) ... completed and phone is back ... go back to download mode and get the following kernel (MyGKernelV1.1.1_CWM5 i9100G) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327509
Enjoy
just sharing on how we can remove the yellow triangle on boot of G s2..
>Assuming you have already rooted with any rooted kernel (ex: myGkernel/superatmos kernel)
>Run “HC-ktool”. Tap "Dump current kernel", then Tap "Reboot to Download Mode"
>When in Download Mode, start Odin, connect the phone and flash any stock Samsung kernel. Phone will reboot itself after that.
>Run “ktool” again Tap "Flash kernel from /sdcard/zImage" (zimage should be the zimage file of ur rooted kernel...copy this zImage in sdcard), then Tap "Reboot"...done
thanks for the info everyone, unfortunately i had issues with my gs2g (mp3 player skipping, gps not locking location well) and so i returned it. it's a beautiful phone but i thought it was too expensive for me to deal with any issues. now i'm hoping for the HTC one x soon! b
best wishes !
Hi, i've flashed my phone from android 2.3.6 gingerbread to 2.2.1 froyo, when i flashed it the phone turned off, and now i can't turn it ON even if it's charging. how can i solve that problem?

Why on earth did you install Froyo from 2.3?

Oh yah, things are obviously kosher now that you have Froyo on there, it's so smooth it can't even turn on?
Try put the phone into download mode, get odin + stock firmware and flash it.
i can't even put it in download mode, the screen is black all the time, even when i hold these buttons and odin detects the phone i cant do anything because when i try to flash it it says <setup connection> and nothing happens for a long time

Next time please post question at General Section
if you want froyo,Simply flash multi-package stock froyo rom ;-)
you will have froyo on your ace ;-)
problem why is this in dev section? and Froyo has better battery life for those asking why. Try removing battery connect via usb and enter DL mode. If you got to DL mode then lucky you if not troll samsung center

Listen to this person and ignore every other smartass.
First of all wrong section!!!!!!
Next steps to solve this problem
1)remove sim card,sd card,battery ..tgen meditate for 2mins.
2)re insert it....
3)dont restart it go to downloading mode you will definitly will get downloading screen..
3)if you are not getting downloading screen go to a servicing centre
4)if u get then u have to download a europian version(not necessary) with all files like pda...modem..etc
5)flash it...
6)now u hav europian version...then u flash ur desired froyo version...
Bottom line is /* u cannot downgrade from gingerbread to froyo with one package */

About your problem, download flashtool and download .ftf (I suggest Nordic region) and flash it. Everything can be found in dev sections, or in sticky thread in general section.

Flash it with correct firmware, get the fw's from sticky thread in general section.
btw. edit thread title to reflect your problem, as current one is so generic that it can be used on 90% threads here

Why are you sending PM's, we have forum, there are smarter people here and will solve your problem faster if more of us discuss about it.
First you said that you have problems with keyboard, then you said you followed this instructions: http://theunlockr.com/2012/10/08/how-to-root-the-sony-ericsson-xperia-neo-mt15i/
On those instructions I only see how to root your phone, which includes flashing MT11i kernel.
Now hear this. If you said all this info before, you would get your solution by now.
Flashing MT11i kernel on MT15i gives that error. And I would have told you that if you gave all the info you have. And no need to go around the web for instructions, everything you need is here, if you had checked this (sticky) thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678690 you would noticed that flashing only kernel cause errors.
For start flash your phone with correct fw, to solve your initial question, then go on next exhibitions
And please use forum, it will be faster
nah sorry for all the issues and problems im done forget this thread please and delete my account im not doing this.time for a new phone.peace

I've come frmo a SGAce which was as simple as with recovery flash the upd.zip and the phone was rooted, then install CWM and done, with 100% sucess rate.
I want to know if there's such a way for SGSII ?
Also if you can, does that leaked version of JB is working 100% bugless on SGSII? If so can you provide me the correct guide to apply it on SGSII? Since i find alot, but all are fakes/erros ones..

Hi guys!
First of all, I'm sorry if my english sounds wierd, not my main language.
I'm not here to ask witch rom or kernel are the best, just some help.
Recently I got an S2 - GT-I9100 with stock 4.1.2 room. I'm loving this phone, and I kinda like the samsung's rom even tough it consumes a lot of battery. I'm kinda curious about CyanogenMod and using moded kernels, but, I'm kinda afraid of messing up everything and brick my phone. Checked if I had the eemc firmware insane chip and I got it, so it makes me even more insecure of trying out new stuff.
Now for the questions:
I have this phone locked to a carrier, can I still flash it?
Can I flash it even if I have the eemc bug without any problems?
Can you guys recomend a really good newbie guide with each and every step to flash and install a new kernel? (I've looked around this website and the internet, but, those that I find kinda' dont explain everything in an easy way)
I've instaled clockworkmod on my phone, but it says it dosent suport it. why not?
Can I have a custom kernel with sammy's stock room?
thanks in advance.
1) Yes, you can flash custom firmware if your phone is carrier locked
2) Yes, you can flash your phone despite having a chip susceptible to the EMMC bug, which only affects phones running rooted stock 4.0.4 firmware
3) Do not attempt to flash anything to your phone until those guides make sense. Right now they look like they 'don't explain things in an easy way' because you obviously don't know a lot about Android, and in particular this phone. If you take the time to read/learn, the guides very quickly will become easy to understand & you'll know what you're doing. Flashing without knowing what you're doing leads to busted phones & dented wallets.
4) Without knowing exactly what you flashed, I have no idea. If you want to root your phone, there is a thread stickied near the top of Q&A that has all the info you need. It honestly doesn't get any simpler than that thread. If you don't find it easy to understand, as I said above, don't do anything to your phone until you do.
5) Yes, you can run a custom kernel with a stock rom

Yes, its better not to flash it before I fully understand what I'm doing. Would you recommend some guides that I can read, from your personal experience?

First of all, I'm sorry if my english sounds wierd, not my main language.
I'm not here to ask witch rom or kernel are the best, just some help.
Recently I got an S2 - GT-I9100 with stock 4.1.2 room. I'm loving this phone, and I kinda like the samsung's rom even tough it consumes a lot of battery. I'm kinda curious about CyanogenMod and using moded kernels, but, I'm kinda afraid of messing up everything and brick my phone. Checked if I had the eemc firmware insane chip and I got it, so it makes me even more insecure of trying out new stuff.
Now for the questions:
I have this phone locked to a carrier, can I still flash it?
Can I flash it even if I have the eemc bug without any problems?
Can you guys recomend a really good newbie guide with each and every step to flash and install a new kernel? (I've looked around this website and the internet, but, those that I find kinda' dont explain everything in an easy way)
I've instaled clockworkmod on my phone, but it says it dosent suport it. why not?
Can I have a custom kernel with sammy's stock room?
thanks in advance.

If you flash Philz kernal for your software build its a safe kernal from the brick bug. If you download the zip file it will not only put the safe kernal on but also root it. Link below

What exactly is the EMMC bug?

If you're running rooted 4.0.4 stock & you do a factory reset, there's a fair chance you'll brick your phone. For the technical version, Google/XDA search is your friend.

Hi once more!
Can I ask you for some more help? I read the post about philz kernel, understood what I have to do and I want to thank you about trying to help me. I'm sorry to bother you once more, since I prefer to be certain.
Got the GT-I9100
I got stock 4.1.2
Baseband is I9100BULS1
Kernel version is 3.0.31-88955 [email protected] #3 SMP PREEMPT KST 2013
Compilation Number is JZO54K.I9100XWLSD
So I guess the one that I need to download and install is:
<< 17.04.2013 - PhilZ-cwm6 v4.93.6 with CWM 6.0.3.1 based recovery >>
XWLSD (bootloop fixed)
http://www.mediafire.com/file/4cb3mf...3.6-signed.zip
http://www.mediafire.com/file/q642zb...4.93.6.tar.md5
Also I got SuperSU already installed, this means I have to unistall it and do this or can I install this kernel anyway?

No worries, Im happy to help.
If you already have superuser just download the "tar" file and flash it with odin as thats just the kernal.
Your build is LSD, download that one. which is philz 5.06.1
Your LSD build is quite old, have a look on samfilmware for your region as im sure you should get atleast LSW. Theres also LSZ and MS1 builds out.
Sorry here is the one you need

Sorry for being such a pain in the ass.
Well tbh, this phone is second hand, and the guy that sold it to me, had a custom rom on it but I asked him to flash it back to stock at the time. it came with stock 2.4 or something, but I updated it trough kies to 4.1.2. I looked around samfilmware and I only saw the build I have right now. I dont think I can update it
So I only need to get odin3, put the cellphone in dm, flash the new tar and thats it?

Hi once more, and thanks for everything! Well, I managed to lose my fear of trying it and managed to flash it using the instructions from philz tread. Everything went all right!
I live in portugal, and my carrier is vodafone, I think that the build I have is the most updated one.
Really, thanks for helping me with this! :laugh:

Well done :good:
Your next step is flashing a custom rom Have a look at the link below. Battery life is amazing on this rom.

But the EMMC bug doesn't affect any S II phones with JB roms does it?
Correct (4.0.4 being ICS). Even if you have a susceptible chip, the firmware has to have the bug which causes the chip to be scrambled/corrupted, which means anything before 4.0.4 or anything after (or anything custom for that matter) poses no problems.

I'm at work right now, so I can only do it after work. So I just need to, follow the instructions on the NEAT ROM post to flash it? They dont say how to backup your things tough but I searched in this forum and found how to do it-. So I only need to use the cwm to back it up. Does it back up EFS folder too?
You have been so far a really helpful dude, thanks mate! Was kinda afraid of posting something here, but turns out there is really nice people around here!
Btw if the mods want I can just PM you for some help instead of posting here.

We were all noobs once.
Thats up to you mate, if posted on here it might help someone else out tho.
Yeh just follow Neatrom post to flash. I have never backed things up before flashing other than sync my contacts and pics but it is recommended.
There are loads of great roms out there flash afew and find one that suits your needs.
Tbh im not really sure about EFS but heres a post about it with a link to an app that will back it up
