I'm new, so excuse me if I haven't found the post to this question if it's already asked?
I've just downloaded: I9300XXBLFB_I9300OXABLFB_BTU.zip.torrent and have unzipped it to I9300XXBLFB_I9300OXABLFB_I9300XXLFB_HOME.tar.md5
I think I have to flash this via Odin? Right?
What version of Odin do I have to use therefor?
Does anyone know if this firmware will work with an unbranded device of the Galaxy S III used in Germany?
Thank you for reading and replying. May the force be with you.

Odin 3.0.4, you find it on www.sammobile.com. This rom is for Germany for unbranded devices http://www.hotfile.com/dl/161535135/b148800/I9300XXALF6_I9300DBTALF4_DBT.zip.html.
The rom you downloaded is probably for the UK.
Thank you
Thanks a lot, I've just forgotten to have look at the SamMobile page. Yeah, and I got the Odin3 v3.04.
Do I need to do a wipe before or after I flash my device?
Regards, Thommes

Go in recovery and do a data/factory reset and wipe cache. Then pull the battery and wait 15 seconds. Reinsert battery and go in downloadmode and flash the rom (.tar or md5) in the PDA section. Do not tick any option, only f.reset.time and autoreboot should be ticked.
More thanks

Hello,
First of all, i looked over http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and looked at the firmwares, and decided to flash one of them which is the "JPKG5"
I just have some simple questions
1) Does Odin3 need my phone rooted?
2) If i finish with the flash does it wipe my data or does it leave it untouched?
3) Is flashing the firmware and kernel the only things that are needed to be done to be able to work?
Thnx
1) Nope
2) Depends on the ROM you flash, some do, some don't
3) Yep
Thanks A Lot for the fast reply
but in the firmware page i posted earlier i read this
It will not wipe your phone if you flash as recommended

Okay guys, i need your help. My half witted brother has tried to root his phone with CF-root, but i think hes used the worng kernel as it wont boot now, it will only go into download mode which makes me think cf-root failed. Now hes trying to flash litening ROM but it fails on factoryfs.img on ODIN. Any ideas/suggestions what to do next?
Cheers

Pull the battery and reinsert after 30 seconds.Go into recovery mode and wipe cache, dalvik cache and data/factory reset.Power down and go into download mode and try to flash a stock rom or Lightningpro with odin. Try another usb-port than the one you used before and see if IDCOM lights up yellow and the phone is added in MESSAGE. If so flash it and reboot
Find your carriers stock firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928 Flash via ODIN (DONT TICK RE-PARTITION) & then download\flash the correct root for phone.
Thats the thing it wont boot into recovery so i cant wipe, im going to go round in abit and have a look so ill give the rest a try when i get there.

No flash the kernel or stockrom, not both. Place the stock rom in PDA and flash.
Only things ticked are Autoreboot and F.Reset Time. Don`t use a pit file.
Good luck
I've had similar problems before and simply reflashing a compatible kernal fixes it.

Download any UK ROM to get the phone up and running to start with and then look for your carrier firmware later.Try XWKI4 (XEU) which is a carrier free UK firmware so will be fine for your region.Download the file,put it in PDA in Odin and hit start without selecting anything else.Dont tick re-partition.
Cheers for all the help guys really appreciated. Managed to flash LightningPro (first time) don't know why he couldn't lol. Anyway hes happy and i have a quiet life again.

Hi guys,
Im having a difficult time finding out how i can get back to the nordic official samsung rom.
I have no idea what i should flash and if i need Odin or just use recovery..
So if there is a kind soul out there that can point me to the correct files, and explain it step by step, i will be forever gratefull!
Yes, I know there are some guides, and i have tried reading them.. But I dont want to **** this up, as I need the phone tomorrow for work :/
So, please, if you can help me, i will be very gratefull
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S2
Country: Norway
Check the model under the battery.
Go to sammobile.com and get your ROM for your region.
Or use checkfus downloader and get the ROM for Norway.
Also mind you, You can flash any region ROM for i9100 in your phone.

Ok i now have the rom from Sammobile and Odin with a Pit file.
I must then go to download mode on phone, and what settings should i have when i now flash?
Should i use the PIT file?
The guide from sammobile was just a repair guide, didnt help me at all..
I have I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXXLPD_NEE.zip.
I have Odin.
What now?
Whatever you do, don't use the PIT file.

But what do i need to do then?
I have the I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXXLPD_NEE.zip (should i extract it?).
And Odin ready.
Do I need more files?
Follow the flashing guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Chris.
No don't use pit, don't know how you get that.
Just extract the zip file you will get tar.md5, put it in pda under Odin.
Also the file you got is ics, just to let you know, if that matters.
So this is how i understand it after reading alot.
1. Unzip the I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXXLPD_NEE.zip
2. Open Odin 1.83
3. Choose the unzipped file I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXXLPD_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar.md5 as PDA.
4. Flash without ticking ANY of the options in Odin.
5. Sucess??
Can someone PLEASE confirm?
Already linked above the guide
See exactly what to check what to uncheck

I want to return an S2 to stock...I'm in the UK, will XWLPD be the right firmware? I must admit I'm a bit confused as to the second link there : XWLPD Stock Kernel....do I need to flash both these things?
Essentially I want to sell the phone and have it as much back to original as possible. It is rooted and has CWM on it. It's currently running CyanogenMod 9.
I can't get any Phone / PDA / CSC info, because *#1234# doesn't work.
Use CheckFus to download whatever is the proper and latest ROM for your country and operator.
CheckFus is here: http://fus.nanzen.se/
Then using Odin flash the ROM to your phone, reboot, wipe everything and the phone will be as good as new.
If that answered you, click "Thanks".
Flash just the tar.md5, its the whole package

No. The full package is the first link, which has the stock kernel contained within already. The stock kernel in the second link is provided as a separate package just in case you need it, in the event you want to flash the stock kernel back after you've either flashed an insecure kernel to root, or flashed a custom kernel.
Dont forget to format the internal sd-card

I've done this - but there's nothing in PDA or CSC. Phone has I9100RWAVOD
I press ok and get Invalid HIDSWVER.

In the 3rd post scroll down to LP7 select the XEU UK CSC download
Estract the file located in the zip / rar file.
Start Odin click the PDA button and find the extracted LP7 fileand select it, put your phone in download mode, plug in the USB, once you have the yellow indicator click start and let it flash.
Once finished you will have UK generic 4.0.3 version
After that just factory reset the phone to clean it, also format the SD Card to clean thta as well.

I'm thinking of reverting back to stock as well, what are your reasons? I love the customisation of the AOKP ROMs but im really picky and some features dont work such as WiFi direct which is putting me off. Non AOKP ROMs dont have this issue but they dont support live lock screens so there is always something
Very minor but I am just that picky..lol Saying that I might go back to RR 9.6 as that seemed to work well for me. I am trying FOXHOUND atm and it seems good also.
B4 you go back to stock pls try Omega v13, there is stock, ICS or Black&Blue. I use v13 Ics as it's beautiful, truly. Everything just works. If you want AOKP, he even has an Omega v3.0 AOKP that I've heard is good too

Thanks for this. I've done this - how long should it take to reboot? Its gone to the SG2 boot screen and pretty much has stayed there for the last 10 minutes.
EDIT : No worries, went into recovery and erased cache/wipe data - now booting.
If your trying to get to original firmware, there are a few things we need to know.
1.. What carrier/provider are you with.
2.. What original firmware did you have, ie 2.3.3, 2.3.4
Download the original firmware from Samfirmware.com
Because you were on ICS; and you are selling the phone, you need to do more than just factory reset.
1 enter recovery
2 data/factory reset.
3 ( Advanced ), wipe dalvik cache
4 ( mounts & storage ), format system. format data. Format internal storage.
Unzip original firmware once only.
Put the firmware into PDA in Odin
turn off phone and enter download mode.
Connect usb cable to phone/PC
Click start on Odin once you see yellow connection in Odin.
If I was doing this and it was my phone, I would also put the pit file in too. But i shall leave that up to you.
Wait for phone to reboot.
On dial pad phone *2767*3588#
Phone will reset then reboot.
Done.
PS.. do not install custom rom.
If the new owner then wants to upgrade via Kies, he/she can.

Selling the phone. The person buying expects a Galaxy S2 - so Touchwiz it must be.

I've reinstalled a stock firmware, it all works. It wasn't ever branded and was unlocked when I got it, so to all intents and purposes, it looks like an unlocked, generic S2 now(with UK presets). There was no pit file on what I downloaded -but thanks for your input.....what I didn't do was format all before I tried to install. Once it had gotten stuck, went back into recovery and wiped all these things - now working fine.
For future ref. The pit file, you get from samfirmware.com. Its under flashprograms.
Hope you get a good price for it.

Do not use the .pit file unless you understand 100% what you're doing, as its one of the easiest ways to brick your device.
I have a few questions before I can help you.
Can you get into download mode?
- If you can go to www.sammobile.com, download a stock firmware, flash through odin. If it still doesnt boot, try to wipe data/factory reset through 3e (stock recovery), then try to boot again.
-- After you do that, flash a cf-kernel to root the device.
does odin support .md5 file i have in the pda ..... man im really getting gittery

Yes, you can flash .md5 files in Odin.
That file is a single package and should contain everything you need. Flash via Odin in the PDA section. Don't touch anything else.
