Hello guys.
I was on CM9 newest nightly and installed bootloader older than LPH with mobile ODIN.
Now i want to give the phone to my brother and tried factory reset. Its flashing correctly but then its not booting. i flashed XXLPQ from Infratech. Has it something to do with the bootloader i flashed before or is it something else? Can someone help me?

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to flash a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 running Stock Android v.4.0.3 on Baseband I9100XXLPH.
I've searched a lot of threads but it seems that over the years there are 5 billion ways on how to root, install CWM and flash a ROM.
I'm not a 100% noob in this area as I successfully unlocked, rooted and flashed my HTC One X lately but:
Could someone please tell me the easiest way of rooting, installing CWM and flashing CM9.1 using the latest tools out there? Please also let me know on how to upgrade the Firmware if thats needed. I tried using Kies already but It keeps telling me that the device doesn't support that. And if someone could explain to me what a insecure kernel is compared to a original one, that would be fantastic!
I've already tried flashing CWM 5.8.1.5 using the standard samsung recovery but once I select "apply update from external storage" and select the CWM zip it starts CWM but after one reboot its gone again. I can repeat these steps everytime I would need CWM but isn't it supposed to replace the default samsung recovery?
Thanks in advance!

Hi!
If you want to flash firmwares, here's how http://androidflip.com/how-to-install-flash-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-s-2-gt-i9100/
But you're on XXLPH, so I suggest you use this guide to root: http://www.androidauthority.com/root-xxlph-on-galaxy-s2-i9100-using-cf-root-kernel-54416/
and that'll get you started somewhere..
Here's the index of guides for our s2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1826497
I hope this will help you!

Hi,
I am unsure about how to flash a ROM on to my phone.
I have already rooted it and installed a insecure kernel using Odin and the Samsung Quick Root tool (found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414). :victory:
I am still running the insecure kernel that I flashed with Odin, and did not install CWM as I do not know what to do.
ROM Manager is installed on the phone but I don't think CWM is actually installed.
Currently, I want to install the F1 Galaxy Nexus ICS ROM. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601518)
All I want to know is do I need to install CWM, and how to install and flash the ROM to my phone.
The exact model of my phone is i1900-XWLPI.
Thanks.
Hi.
Yes you need cwm.
How to install Rom always be a guide in thread...
Send form Galaxy S2. Using XDA Premium
I was following a guide on it.
Now I am worried
I think it is bricked as it is stuck on the yellow triangle screen.
I don't have a jig and I NEED IT WORKING.:crying:
Ok I managed to get it to go in to d/l mode and flashed kernel back to the one I had earlier.
I think I'll just leave it for today and try another time.
Too much happened today and I don't want to risk a permanent brick.
Hi guys, my mothers SGS3 is stuck on bootloop (well just freezes on samsung logo), it was on stock firmware when the problem first occured, i've tried flashing cwm via odin, wiping absolutely everything and then reflashing stock firmware, but problem persisted, i've tried rooting, flashing cwm, and then installing cyanogenmod to no avail.
does anybody have any other ideas that i could try.
Thanks in advance guys.

You flashed stock firmware with Odin, was the flash successful ?
If you need to use recovery, flash TWRP or Philz, CWM is not updated anymore
Try flashing one of the firmwares in this thread.
yeah as far as odin was concerned the flash was successful and set the phone to reboot, but it still just hung at the samsung logo, and right ok im a bit out dated using cwm then it's been a while :Lthanks for the links i'll give it another crack now
thanks again

i've tried flashing CM and MIUI using the two recoveries you linked, still no joy. The download links for the firmware doesn't work but i found an equivalent that also has bootloader, csc files etc and still no joy, odin does it's business and says in green pass at the end of it all but it still hangs on the samsung logo, even when i installed miui, it would install all as planned, but then on the reboot it just hangs at the MIUI logo.
i'm lost completely i've never been defeated by a phone :L
So what happened was basically i was trying to remove twrp from my phone. I downloaded a recovery.img file and converted it to a tar file using some app i found and flashed it into my phone using odin.
However when i wanted to test whether the stock recovery mode worked, my phone became stuck on the booting screen. I am going to flash a stock rom on odin but will it fix the problem?
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps
Flashing stock rom should fix your issue but be sure you're flashing the latest firmware version available for your phone.
Hey guys,
I have a problem with my Galaxy S III I9300. I have been using a CM 13 rom for some months now, which has worked perfectly fine untli yeserday.
My Phone crashed randomly, which happens sometimes, but after this crash it was stuck in bootloop. I tried to reboot, no result.
After restoring a backup it worked for some time until it suddenly crashed and stucked in bootloop again. Same with factory reset.
I have even flashed a new rom ArchiDroid , via CWM, with the same result.
I hope you guys can help me out with this problem.
Thank you in advance,
GeneralD
Have you tried flashing the latest stock ROM with Odin, performing a factory reset from stock recovery, and then using the phone for a while to verify functionality?

Definitely. Flash to stock should be the first thing you do if your phone goes into bootloop.
OK, I flashed the stock rom & recovery and did a factory reset. Until now everything is working fine, except the "Not registered on network" Error, which I have now
Any solution?
Does the phone show the correct imei? Have you tried manually searching and connecting to a network?

Wrong Imei...
Does it start work 0049..? Do you have a backup of the efs folder? You flashed the latest stock rom?
I have an efs backup of a now destroyed s3.. can it be used for anything like reviving efs borked s3's?
Im sorry guys,
I flashed a old 4.1 stock rom, found the latest 4.3 rom now and the Error is gone
But wont I be able to flash custom roms from now on?

If all you did was flash a stock rom you should be ok to do what you like to it.
