Use the search function
First things first.
1) Check the sticker on the phone chassis under the battery. What does it say ?
2) What exactly did you flash ? If you want help, you're going to have to be a little bit (a lot actually) less vague.

You have an i9100G. Did you download an I9100G firmware? What did you download? I'm betting you downloaded an I9100 firmware instead of an i9100G one.
If you download an i9100G firmware and try again, it should work.
Try this.
Then if you decide to try installing ICS again, make sure you download one for the i9100G, and not the i9100.

Yup, that is a firmware for the i9100P that is O2 branded. See my post above.
By the way, FYI: i9100G is NOT compatible with other i9100 models in respect to firmwares and kernels

Sorry man, but you should have made some reading before you do this as there are many files with XX_I9100_XX and each belongs to baseband version which is included in the file name which should match your baseband version in settings> about phone.

Baseband doesn't have anything to do with his situation. He attempted to flash a firmware for the wrong version phone.

Hi yall...
Im sitting here with a good mates i9100... He has flashed it, and now it does not have any signal...
IMEI is just blank, and I think this is because of the baseband radio mismatch as it is showing baseband unknown...
I have tried:
Flashing I9100XXKG2
And in odin I have ticked:
Re-partition
Auto reboot
F. Reset Time
Phone Bootloader Update... (This should update the bootloader, shouldent it??)
Any great ideas??

From what i have seen for flashing through ODIN, they always mention that re-partition should not be checked. Dont' know why but i guess probably that may have messed up something on the phone. Please google to find out what re-partition does.

Not looking good...
Do you have backuped your /EFS folder or not?
We recived it in this condetion... It was already f***** when we started playing arround with it
well considering my un-flashed (freshly unboxed untouched after 2 day usage) S2 managed to lose its IMEI all by itself (showing exactly what you're being shown now), this is entirely a Samsung fault.
I gave it at a local service center and it took them a few days to repair it. They said they had to replace the motherboard and re-flash it (the original mobo wasnt taking flashes apparently).
Dont know if this helps ya.
First off: Stay faaar away from the "Repartition" tickbox.
Sounds like the EFS partition is messed up, without a (working) backup of it, there isn't much that can be done, I think.
Try flashing one of the _user_low stock ROMs (without repartition!) those contain pretty much every part that can/should be flashed.
Maybe this helps.
If not, send it in for repair.
Could you please give me a link to such a ROM ?

No, SuperOneClick doesn't work on a stock ROM, that's right.
Download Chainfire's CF-Root kernel for XXKG2 and flash it too.
You'll have insta-root right after flashing CF-Root

Is there any mirror link of this firmware (http://www.multiupload.com/G1GBNSDYJA)
since multiupload is no longer available any more?
I have tried many firmwares, but it still not working.
Should I try a ROM that require re-partition? Maybe it works???

Thanks man, I've found some of useful firmwares.
But if it would be great if anyone knows which firmwares have pit file. Maybe I have made a mistake while re-partition my i9100 and now I want to re-partition it again by stock firmware, hopefully could file my imei back.
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..
by the way.. I AM PANIC!!!!!!

Need this to find you closest matching CF-Root kernel or official firmware.

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.

Last week the official ICS was available in Norway, and I wanted to check it out.
But when I download it, it stops installing at 11%.

Anyone have had any similar problems with the new update?

Are you still able to enter download mode ?
If Yes, follow this tutorial on how to Unroot/unbrick your Galaxy S2 to ICS.

If No, your phone is bricked. I suggest you bring it to Samsung.

Hello, thanks for your answer.
I have been watching that video now and it tells me to download ICS stock ROM. Is the stock ROM different from phone to phone or is it the same which one I get? I live in Norway, Europe.
Thanks!
1: if your phone says i9100 under battery, go get another rom i say la2/la4 and flash again using odin.
2: read again where to put the file.
3: if u got i9100G ur flashing wrong firmware. u need to fix that issue now.
all this if u can get download mode

Where did you get this other version? What is the file name?
The reason I ask: the version you used in your screenshot in post 1 is for an i9100G. You said you have an i9100.
Firmwares and kernels are not compatible between the i9100 and the i9100G. So if you are using another i9100G firmware, that is probably why it is failing.

Nope, u have to use Odin and load the file(s) u extract from the downloaded zip into it.
Then u must connect phone to PC and flash this.
But I recomment to read a bit more on XDA and at least search for it, before u start flashing.

If u have only one file in this zip, just load it into PDA > connect phone (download moda) > flash.
If u have 3 or more in it, u have to load pda into PDA, phone into PHONE and csc into CSC > connect phone (download mode) > flash.

Thanks, it is not problem in regurgitating every little detail, the problem is in finding the right solution.
For example, if I knew that I will delete original kernel from samsung, I would not root my samsung, but you learn as you go.

If you're flashing a Samsung rom then you'll obviously have Samsung kernel after flash.
If you want another kernel then flash it afterwards via ODIN.
