Dont panic, just download a firmware for your phone and region from www.samfirmware.com and flash via odin.
I downloaded the firmware.. I opened Odin. so do i now, open the downloaded firmware via the PDA button? or do i need to unzip the firmware or anything?
PDa is correct, no need to unzip, just click what you downloaded.

Try Rootbox. It's really good and it's ics.

Try Batista FoxHound Sniper Wolf
Best Rom Ever! no lags, very very smooth
Well, that's 2 i9100 ROM suggestions to an i9100G owner, in what is quickly degenerating into a best ROM thread. That will quickly land him back into the same situation he faced in post 1.
Well OP resolved his original issue. Since its turning in to a "best" thread will lock.

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 ?

There are some in Intratech's ROM download thread in the dev section.
One comming directely into mind (because I just flashed it recently) is this one:

Thank you, I will try this tomorrow, see if I've got any luck with me So far, thanks!
Now I have tried the ROM you have prefered, but it didn't help. I'm not able to root the phone by SupoerOneClick. Any other great ideas ?
Best regards

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???
Try searching Sammobile.com

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.
Hey,
Im running the GT-I9100T from Vodafone on Australia, currently running MIUI 1.8.19 and wish to flash to another modem other than the KH3 currently on here as the reception is less than good.
I was hoping to find the original KF4 modem shipped with the stock firmware available from kies, but alas could not find it. I only found KF2, or KG1 and above.. I was looking at this thread :
http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/s...II-Shipped-Radio-Collection?p=42051#post42051
for modems but was wondering who in Australia gets the best receptions with which modem?
Cheers!
EDIT : Can the modem.bin file from the original firmware downloaded through kies that is KF4 be extracted and placed in another rom to flash? or just flash through odin/cwm?

I'm with Optus and I find KH3 to be quite good for me. If you have the modem.bin file you can flash it through CWM, but you need to make it a flashable zip.
Otherwise you might be able to put it into another rom.
EDIT: The best way to find out which modem gives you the best reception is to test them out

Guys, I tired to flash the s3 look and feel rom from the galasy s2 android development theard on my s2 and now it wont swtich on. It will boot in download mode but no recovery. when I connect it to power, the battery icon only comes on once and then it switches off. Sometimes the screen starts flashing.
Could someone kindly advise how can I get around this?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
If the phone boots only into download mode, that's still a good sign. Just use the Odin tool and flash the new ROM. I know that doesn't help but need to stay calm and find the proper images.

You've obviously flashed it incorrectly or onto a incompatible rom or device variant. Next time read before flashing.
thanks guys,
do I flash a new kernel using odin? if yes, which one?
Thanks again.
Any one you want. Download a stock ICS or GB ROM from sammobile.com, and flash through Odin. Lucky you didn't brick your device, READ TWICE, FLASH ONCE.
Chris.
You should also confirm what model phone you have. Look on the label under the battery. What does it say for model?
flashing the stock firmware is the best option .. that solved my problem in the past .
flash the stock rom using odin . That is the best way to revive a bricked phone .
Oh good lord I hope this guy actually has an i9100.
I do have s2 i900. I am downloading I9100XXLPH.zip as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
Is this ok? or do I need stock rom/kernel? if yes, could you advise where I could get that from?

Search the forum for the answer this is a common problem. You will need Odin. Since you have bricked your phone install a custom Rom and Kernel. You will not go back to stock!!

What firmware was you using when this happened. You've sounds like it's recoverable. If download mode is all you can get your probably get best results by downloading official firmware from Sam firmware and extracting it then flashing the zip file in odin via PDA section. All the best.

I don't remember exactly my firmware but it was 4.0.3 and I haven't installed 4.0.4 but I did have CM10 just before I did restore from CWM and now I did factory data reset, this happened.
I prefer stock ROM, but I don't mind custom ROM either as long as I can get back to stock ROM

Flash a stock Rom via Odin. Wait till your phone boots up. Go back to Odin install a custom kernel (i recommend siyah kernel). Backup your stock Rom, then install a custom Rom. There is a lot of tutorials to tell you exactly how to do this process. If you need help at any point of this process just send me a message and I will give you a detailed walkthrough. You should be fine though!!
Goodluck

If you want stock then take your pick from stock firmware at samfirmware. Aviod the ones with the red warning triangles, risk of brick bug!

How about from the intratech's thread? And is the Odin flash failing risk big with the situation I have right now?
I've used odin A LOT and never had a problem. I only ever use the PDA section and never touch anything else because I don't understand it. I can't comment on intratechs thread as I've never used his software. Any custom ROMs are normally flashed via CWM.

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/galaxy-s2-...4-4-2-kitkat-via-omnirom-1433850#.UwJLn85A3iX
when flashed the rom restared the handset to flash the Gapps file it got stuck on the starting samsung screen. I attached the screen shot to this post.
I tried to take the battery out for 10 mins & put it back on its still stuck on this screen.
I am able to go to in download mood & its showing on Odin when connected the handset.
PLease kindly someone help me with it.
Regards,
Hash

At least if I can go back to stock ROM which is 4.1.2 at least Please help
Thanks allot for your respond. No I am not able to go into the recovery unfortunately. only can go into download mood
What do you want help with? Flashing with Odin? First go to Sammobile.com and get 4.1.2 firmware from there. I'll give you a link for flashing with Odin if you can't find a good one.

If you're planning on rooting and installing a custom ROM again you may as well just go with the Vodaphone one then go from there. I do have a copy of the unbranded one (can't remember where from) so it is out there if you really need it, only downloaded it last week.
I rooted using Philz kernel, if you search XDA for that you will find the info on how to do it and it seemed the easiest way to go...
