Arabic 4.0.4 ICS for galaxy s2 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
How can I update my S2 galaxy to the new 4.0.4 ICS which supported the Arabic (JPLPC)? I'll be grateful if you help me in this..
Cheers

JPLPC is 4.03 not 4.04.
read how to use Odin, download the file from sammobile
put csc in csc put boot in boot loader put phone in modem and other largest file in pda.
before and after flash wipe is recommended.

if there is a 4.0.4 arabic version, i wouldnt rush to flash it, but there isnt as the above me said JPLPC is 4.0.3,
there are two ways to flash it, that depends on how your files are
BEFORE ANYTHING CHECK IF YOU HAVE THE BIRCKBUG

1. download this file incase you didnt download the rom yet

2. download the odin flasher

3. extract your rom on to the desktop (it doesnt really matter)
DELETE .PIT FILE
shut down your device
press home+power+power
you should now be in download mode, make sure you have your drivers correctly installed
plug your device into your pc, make sure that it finish's its driver installation correctly
open Odin
BOOTLOADER= I9100_APBOOT_I9100JPLPC_CL537255_REV02_user_low_ship.tar

CSC= GT-I9100-MULTI-CSC-OJPLP9.tar
make sure that you see a yellow rectangle when you plug in your device
THEN PRESS START
this is just a rough guide for a better one search xda forums there are alot

Thanks guys for your feedback, it's worked!

cheers

Korean Stock Firmware?

These seem to be the stock Korean SII firmware for the two main carriers:
For SHW-M250K (KTF firmware) http://matpclub.com/s/pxeboard31/2706591
For SHW-M250S (SKT firmware) http://matpclub.com/s/pxeboard31/2698765
It's a torrent? It's just been uploaded (as in, just then, lol) so no seeds, give it some time I guess. Time for me to go back to the stock firmware maybe.
Anyone more experienced willing to grab them and go over them?
Update:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UYYWHYOY
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=T8Y80YBG
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=32NTASOW
M250K.EE31
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4J24QBTK
anyone find call recording in there?
I desperately need the SHW-M250K (KTF firmware) but I can´t work out how to get the torrent file and the megaupload links seem to be dead (at least they can´t be opened in China).
Whenever o try to download HOME_M250K.EE05.0315_CL186865_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.torrent , I just get another page in korean and can´t get through it
You need to sign up for an account to download the torrent file.
I've attached them anyway, there seems to be two EE05 torrents, dunno what's going on there.
Thanks a lot
I was trying to root a SHW-M250K with XWKDD_insecure but something went wrong, so i think now the best thing to do is re-flash the firmware and try again. Which torrent is for the (KTF firmware)?
Did you root yours?
XWKDD_insecure will work, it'll root fine but you'll be stuck in a boot loop. Just need to reflash the stock kernel afterwards.
Mine's rooted and purring along nicely. I'm using the latest M250K.EE19 with the overclock kernel from here: http://matpclub.com/s/?mid=pxeboard10&category=1191749&document_srl=2804608
I used the S2 ED24 rooting kernel (from here?) to root it first. Again, it did a boot loop but the root worked fine, just flashed the OC kernel afterwards.
For EE05 just flash the rooting kernel, root it and reflash the stock kernel. Done.
I suggest you sign up for http://matpclub.com/s/matcl
Considering you have the Korean model it's almost a necessity.
sorry for all the question but I just want to know If I got this straight.
So all I have to do to is to use Odin to flash the file KT_GalaxyS2_EE05_rooting.zip and then get it back in download mode and re-flash T_GalaxyS2_EE05_stock_kernel.zip
If you're on EE05 firmware, all you have to do is:
1. Go into download mode.
2. Flash the EE05 'rooting' kernel
3. Run superoneclick and root the phone. It'll tell you if it's successful.
4. Go back into download mode and flash the stock EE05 kernel back.
I ran Odin but when i click on the PDA it doesnt allow me to choose the .zip files.
How do I flash with these .zip files?
Uh, you need to extract the tarball from the zip file. Odin will flash using the .tar file.
After a weekend of worrying about the damn phone finally your method worked like a charm, thanks so much!
I still need to figure out how to unlock it but all in due time.
I looked at http://matpclub.com/s/matcl as you mentioned but I can´t read any Korean
But thanks again for taking the time to help me, if you ever need anything from China let me know, I owe you big time .
No worries. They'll be opening up an English section of the site in a few months.
Does anyone know what the difference between the EE05 Kernal and the EE31 Kernal is? Do I want to make sure I'm at the latest version?
when I do *#1234# I get
PDA : M250k.EE31.1419
Phone : M250k.EE17.1456.KT
MOVINAND : EE05
Any idea what that means?
could you upload a Gyroscope driver from your Korean phone for my ke7 rom? i use the m250k ,but i want to flash the ke7````thx~!
thanks for the info.
Actually, I am kind of a newbie in android, now I've got SHW-M250K in my hand.
Basically, the latest firmware of my SGS2 is PDA:EE31/PHONE:EE17, and actually KIES said it is the latest firmware.
I can't understand korean language so well, so I can't understand the link that you show to us. I am still living in Korea now, but actually I am Indonesian
My SGS2 is not rooted, and I don't really familiar with "ROOT", However, could someone help me about how to root and what is the latest firmware of this phone?
Could you please make the "how-to" in a simple way that can be followed by newbie like me?
thanks in advance
I want to root my phone and I'm new this this. Can anyone post a step by step with download links? Can't navigate Korean sites. Are there risks to this?

If you follow the third link in that post, you'll end up at a site where you can download:
[Root]HOME_M250S.EG14.1208_CL380592_REV02_user_low_ship.zip
This is a pre-rooted stock firmware.
Download it, then:
Enable debug mode in your phone's applications>Development settings.
Turn the phone off.
Enter download mode. Hold down 'vol. down+Home+power' in that order. Press 'vol up' for yes.
Run odin 1.8.5 then plug your phone into your computer. Odin should light up, if not then reinstall your phone's drivers. Find them on the samsung site or install Kies.
Open 'PDA' and direct it to the .tar file you get when you extract "[Root]HOME_M250S.EG14.1208_CL380592_REV02_user_low_ship.zip"
Don't touch anything else, press Start.
It'll take a few minutes and your phone should restart at the end. If it takes longer than 5 minutes press the home button or restart your phone.
Done.

[Q] Arabic for Samsung Galaxy S II

I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S II (GT-i9100). It came with Android 2.3.3, obviously, but with Arabic support. I noticed that the battery life was a bit on the low side. I found out that it was fixed in Android 2.3.4, but it hasn't been officially released! I found the leak and downloaded it, then I followed the instructions. It worked! The problem is that it doesn't have Arabic language support.
Now, I want one of the two, both isn't bad! :
1- Android 2.3.4 with Arabic support (if that's even out yet )
2- Android 2.3.3 (obviously, with Arabic), so I can install it until the official 2.3.4 Arabic comes out.
I want the full ROM, eg. 3 ".tar" files and one ".pit" file. Or else, you can teach me how to fully flash the files you give me. I don't want to do something wrong and brick my SGSII.
check this link...follow till T. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
the latest arabic firmware is 2.3.5

PDA:JPKJ2
PHONE: XXKI4

A bit more help please.
I mentioned that I was a newbie, right?
I don't know what a Kernel is. I do know that it's in my smartphone, my current version is "[email protected] #2". That's what it says in "About Phone" in Settings.
I downloaded the file you gave me the link to: GT-I9100_XSG_I9100JPKJ2_I9100OJPKJ1_I9100XXKI4.exe
Now, what do I do with it? It's an .exe file, I know it might be an auto-unzipper, but I want to be 100% SURE before I do anything. Can you tell me exactly what to do with the above file? Treat me as a newby, but one who catches on quickly
[EDIT]: I ran it, and I was right, it was an auto-unzipper. It gave me a 502Mb .MD5 file. What do I do with that?
[EDIT2]: I just read here that you're not supposed to put a .pit file in Odin. When I flashed 2.3.4 on my SGSII, I put .pit and it worked. What's better to do?
Bump
Bump; I'm waiting for an answer, I don't want to do anything I don't know. Anyone, PLEASE reply.
dont use pit file....just in ODIN under pda select the file you extracted (502MB.md5) and hit start....thats it.
If I just put the 502mb .md5 file, won't that wipe everything (the modem and code files) and just put the CSC file leaving everything behind?
I'm guessing because we don't put the .pit file, there's no need to tick repartition?
[EDIT]: I just did what you said and it worked. Thanks so much!

Help! Unsure of phone's firmware!

Hi, Thanks in advance for reading and helping me out with this issue.
Here are my phone information.
Model no: GT-I9100
Android Ver: 2.3.3
Baseband Ver: I9100CCKDH
Kernel Ver: [email protected]#2
Build no: GINGERBREAD.XWKDD
My phone is from Singapore so the original firmware should be the asian one (DXKI2). I wanted to root my phone so i followed instructions from this article.
Article url: androidadvices. com/ how-to-update-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-i9100-to-gingerbread-xwkdd-2-3-3-firmware
I followed everything it said, which was to first upgrade the firmware to XWKDD before rooting. I did not wipe any data before the upgrade. So at the end ODIN reflected a pass (green color) and i unplugged my phone. However it entered boot loop and i used the stock recovery mode to flash a stock kernel (DXKH2) to my phone. It seemed to have returned back to factory state but when i check my phone settings it reflected the different versions as mentioned in phone information above.
Please help as i have the conception that all version should be the same but mine is kinda all over the place. Am i wrong?
Secondly, KIES now does not recognise my phone's firmware when i plug it into the computer but i can still access my files through it. Why is that?
Thirdly, where should i go from here to root my phone? Please help provide me with answers and links so that i can eventually root my phone properly and install cyanogenmod onto my phone. I would really appreciate if someone could help answer my questions and give me step by step help for my problem. THANKS!!

Very old KDD firmware with looks like KH2 rooted kernel .
Secondly, KIES now does not recognise my phone's firmware when i plug it into the computer but i can still access my files through it. Why is that?
No codes match on Kies server .KDD and KH2 mix is not a known product .
One upgrade firmware to stock newer version Root phone if you need root to matching version as per instructions .

I am unsure of what do you mean.
However, what i did was to use ODIN and flash the stock kernel for DXKI2 for my phone. I made a mistake in telling you that my original firmware was DXKH2.
Now the phone's build number is still GINGERBREAD.XWKDD.
When I connected my phone back to the computer, KIES cannot read the phone as it says that i have to use the KIES PC studio mode to connect. This error did not take place before hand as KIES would automatically connect to my phone.
What should i do now? I don't know whether my phone is using the latest XWKDD firmware so it may not be ready for rooting. What should be displayed on my phone in order for me to know that the firmwares are ready to be rooted?
Please help me ASAP as I am afraid I have screwed up my phone. I dont even know how to bring it back to original factory settings and everything.

Mr. Egan showed you the links where to get your answers. Click on them and read and you will find everything you need, XWKDD is a firmware version that is ancient and outdated. You should flash new software for your country/region

[Q] Multiupload is down and I need to download links to get ICS

Hi Everyone.
I'm an Android amateur. Basically I want to install the official ICS software on my galaxy s2 Orange UK phone now that it is out, however, because I have flashed it previously, Kies says "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies"
I want to use the links on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
and the specific links I need are these:

Gone gone .
Search as said via Google try sammobile.com try Checkfus are all the usual answers to your question .
Flash the Orange firmware via Odin or download it via Checkfus .

just asking but as youve already flashed anyway why not just flash the sim free software from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487 instead of the orange branding one? Wont have all the horrible orange branding on it then
First of all you are going back to GB from ICS so you will need to flash the old bootloader before you flash the firmware to avoid bootloops.Follow these steps.
1.Unzip file from below to get the old bootloader tar. file first.
2.Open Odin and put the tar. file in PDA and connect phone.Without selecting anything else hit START and it will take about 4-5 seconds.
3.When done disconnect phone and let it boot and then turn it off and boot to download ready to flash firmware.
4.Flash this -2.3.6 GB Orange U.K (cant find the other one)
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/152491674/56b608a/I9100BVKL1_I9100ORALB1_ORA.zip.html
This version has no root kernel but if you want to flash via kies you wont need it anyway.Now update via Kies.
ALTERNATIVE WAY..................................................................................
Latest official kies release for Orange U.K
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/153501669/3ba8630/I9100BVLPB_I9100ORALPB_ORA.zip.html
CF-Root kernel if you want to root
http://download.chainfire.eu/143/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXX_LPB-v5.2-CWM5.zip
This is and older kernel and could give problems mounting storage.At the moment there is no specific CF kernel for you unless you want to try a different one or SuperOneClick (not a good idea)
OTHER OPTION,
U.K. and Ireland unlocked Kies official latest release.Kies will still work but if you dont have a factory unlocked phone then the updates wont work anymore untill you reflash your carrier ICS firmware.
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/153177481/9861a3a/I9100XWLP7_I9100XEULP5_XEU.zip.html

@ cooza
you do not need to flash boot loaders when you flash using Odin.
You don't need to flash boot loaders even when you flash using cwm.
You get boot loops when you go from ics to GB with out wiping.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
True that its not really needed for Odin but thought Id post it anyway.Ive suggested this to people with bootloops who have tried everything and still have one and it has been the only thing thats worked when going from GB to ICS via CWM and in a couple of occassions via Odin also.More senior members than me also recommend it.It may just be luck or may not but Ive never seen it fail.If he does it nothing bad will happen to his phone anyway.
cooza you really dont need that,
bootloops fixed by right kernel's, wipe's, or best formating system partitions

Rooting galaxy 2 9100g failed

hi guys, I'm a new owner of samsung galaxy sii 9100g, I tried to root my device but it seems that there was something wrong in my procedure. and my procedure was as below:
1. I downloaded the GT-I9100G_DZKI1_insecure zip file which it was not the same kernal as the origin one the my phone has.
2. I used Odin3 v1.83 to pass the insecure kernal file and it was done ok
3. finally, I used S2Root_1.5.1_Release to root my phone, and also it was ok.
But yet it was not rooted and I couldn't install any custom rom in recovery mode, it wasn't seen at all.
so please please help me to root this phone.
Device Manufacturer: SAMSUNG
Device Model: GT-I9100G
ROM Build: GT-I9100G-user 2.3.4 GINGERBREAD JPKH8 release-keys
download any gingerbread 2.3.6 firmware.
choose a custom kernel of your preference. lucifer, streetware, superatmos etc. download and flash with odin.
once rooted, download whichever rom you prefer
I upgraded my Galaxy S II I9100G to ICS V4.0.3 , then i tried to root using V4 of zergrush toolkit & tried both the methods (conventional & memory crash) & both the times i used the "edited runme.bat" !!! The process goes on till it reads
"ALL DONE!!!
Press any key to continue . . ."
After the device reboot there is no evidence of "superuser" in the app drawer nor is there any evidence in the device info (settings->about phone) !!
In short this method is not working on my ICS upgraded I9100G !! Any help will be highly appreciated !!
Is there a proper rooting solution for ICS upgraded I9100G ??

Thank you ad_ek and the others for your reply.
i think I have done something wrong to my device. now I could send kernals with Odin, but my mistake was when I installed this custom rom (cm-9.0.0-RC1-i9100g.zip) without making any backups or even be sure of rooting my phone correctly. now it keeps starts up in recovery mode only and i could install cm-9.0.0-RC1-i9100g.zip and SuperROM_v3.1.zip. this last rom asks to be sure of permission and reboot, but it reboots only in recovery mode. i also was able to root my device with (root.zip) which installs many files like superuser but nothing was change one recover mode.
i tried to download Update Galaxy S2 to Android 2.3.6 XXKL1 Firmware but it was only one big file which i couldn't download because of my internet low speed.
now I'm only keep looking at a dying phone
So not a development topic, its a question. Moved to Q&A
