Why I cant't use ODIN Because my internet speed download don't exeed 30 kb/s
Right now i have This Fw Files In my computer
XWLP8
Android 4.0.3
This package has: PDA: XWLP8| Modem/phone: XXLPS| CSC: OXALPS
What about bootloader??

Buddy, backup you data (Pics, sms, Contacts...) then:
1- Use Odin to flash XWLP...that would be stock rom without root access and that will work just fine, no need for any boot loader here.
2- if you wish to root the phone, then use Odin again and flash Chainfire's CF-Root associated with the new rom found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

CF Version

Hi
Before I flash with ChainFire to gain Root Id like to check what version I should use to flash. Or should I flash with another generic firmware first?
Im on a Vodafone Stock Build as follows:
PDA: I9100BUKE5
PHONE: I9100BUKE1
CSC: I9100VODKE2
Would it be KE5?
Thanks in Advance.
KE7 generic then KE7 root

Learn how to use Odin
get ROM from checkfus downloader or sammobile.com
Pick lp7 ROM skip lp9.
You can flash any ROM if you got i9100, say UK lp7.
Flash using Odin.

Doesn't matter were you are...
Get a whole package and flash.
Lp7 UK ics
Dxlp9 Singapore ics
Both stock roms work fine. Personally I say go for lp7 UK.
After that learn how to use cfroot kernel to get root access.

Thanks for that.
Can you give me that link for lp7.
I salute you.

Help~ how to unroot S2 I9100G

Since it have official update ics, but i think my phone had root so i cant install it. Anyone pls provide a solution.. Many thanks
Version : 2.3.6
Base Version : I9100GDKJ2
Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-g7b57e17-dirty-Lucifr_1.60uv-200Mhz
Flash your stock 2.3.6 xwlc2 stock rom simply via odin. Or if u want a faster method, just go to privacy and hit factory reset. It will be as good as new. Backup your data before doing it though as you will loose data.
Thank if i helped mate. Hf

Kernel: 3.0.15-I9100XWLP7-CL340913
Android Version: 4.0.3

This is my phone information and I'm trying to root with the latest odin3 and s2root and using the following kernels

I can install the insecure kernel ok and phone reboots fine. When I run s2root it tells me I'm not connected with a Samsung device. Any suggestions?

Thanks.
Do I have to flash the complete firmware (the same as I already have installed) or can I just flash with the correct, rooted, kernel?

[Q] removing splashscreen

Hi All,
I'm new to the android community moving from a iPhone. Now I purchased the Samsung galaxy s3 2 weeks ago. I was wondering is there any way to remove the carrier splashscreen on boot and shut down screen. I purchased this in the UK from the carrier three. . and to be honest I can't stand it the damn splashscreen. I have rooted my device but just can't find a way to remove the splashscreen.
also i heard there's a way to remove the bloatware from it, it seems that when looking at my ram using its never below 400 despite me going to task manger and clearing the memory. I'm assuming its all the bloatware on the phone that's using it up right?
Would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks
U can root ur phone,with cf root,then make a full wipe via cwm recovery (incl. formating system and boot) and then flash unbranded latest firmware for the UK.. and that's it
