Hello all i'm new here and have a problem.
I have a Sgs2 I9100P on Orange (uk) and i took it to a shop to unlock.
When i got home and turned the phone on it said I9100 where as before it used to say I9100P. Also the OS was now back to gingerbread but i had upgraded to ICS before i took it to be unlocked. So i thought ok ill upgrade back to ICS through kies like i did before. When i tried to upgrade kies just says it cant do anything to the phone. Its like it doesnt recognise the firmware.
The guy at the shop seemed to having difficulty unlocking the phone and he did have to flash it. He did manage to unlock it but i think he has put the wrong firmware on the phone.
I have managed to find a stock ICS orange network firmware for the I9100P and was thinking to flash that firmware with Odin. I have never flashed my phone but have read some tutorials and it seems straight forward.
So basically do you experts think it would work and would the phone still be unlocked?
If you need more information i should be able to provide. Thank you in advance for any advise anyone can give.
Yes flash orange bvlp6 for gt-i9100p though odin and you will be fine and the phone should still be sim unlocked .l unlocked my phone on GB and now updated to ics and still unlocked dude

Use cf-root LP7. Works great for me.

I am very suprised to have been offered an OTA update - as I had flashed a firmware myself.
I was expecting, that with an unbranded flashed firmware, I would never receive an OTA update.
Am I wrong?
The details:
I flashed a few months ago XWLP7 via Mobile Odin pro, and I am rooted.
The phone itself was purchased sim-free & unbranded, my 3g provider is vodafone uk - pay mothnly.
XWLP7 was taken from the official ICS leaked firmware thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
would at least try to understand if the proposed update is the recent I9100XWLPT
but don't know ho to figure out what the update is.
Also, I would prefer to use ODIN pro again rather than doing an offical update and maybe lose root.
please advise!
thanks!
Yes, the corect regional update is probably LPT.
You will lose the root anyhow, even if you flash with Odin or directly via Wi-Fi.

Why not just flash the latest I9100XWLPT rather than flashing that and loosing root?
I just flashed the LPT and I didnt lose root.Maybe someone can add what the "everoot" function is in mobile odin pro.
I think I lost cwm but I got it back with siyah 3.5 flash.

thanks - I did not accept the update and flashed I9100XWLPT with Mobile Odin Pro directly.
as usual, it worked great and did not lose root.
cheers
I also got this update but didn't accept as I heard that Samsung were pushing updates out which removes the search function when holding the menu button because they lost a law suit with Apple or something.
It could just be a rumour but I didn't want to risk it.
Does XWLPT still have the search function?
Also does XWLPT have the hard brick bug?
Cheers!

You can download the 'got brick bug' app from chain fire to check.
Until then I wouldn't do a factory reset or wipe just to make sure
I tried the same update and its just as crap as the older one-and more laggy.Maybe its because Im liking rr3 performance.

Apparently there is a risk of bricking your phone if you have the brick bug and you use Mobile Odin so I wouldn't risk it.
If you're using a Mac you can use Heimdall, it's similar to Odin

A simple question but i couldn't find the answer. I flashed my i9300 but i have no idea weather it came with UK, Dutch or Dutch Vodafone firmware. Is there any way to find this out?
Als is there any way a service center can look it up through your serial number or imei?
A similar thread about this for the I9100 / SII went unanswered.

If you dont know then outside of asking Samsung all you can do is guess .
Some say Kies will give original firmware .Tools Firmware upgrade and initialization .
jje
Why don't you flash one that's for your country? It doesn't matter for Samsung warranty if that's the case because once it's their software they don't ask questions.
Mine came with a Dutch firmware, it's a 32 GB and I flash Cyanogenmod over it.
Try http://androidfirmwares.net and look for Galaxy S3 Roms.

After i rooted and then updated through Kies, it did reset the Device status from modified to normal, but let's not confuse that with getting the firmware of the original locale/provider. Kies update didn't change the firmware. So either i already had the original firmware, or it just updates.

That's very reassuring and just what i wanted to hear
The reason i'm not sure what the original firmware is, is that in the past, two of my preordered android phones had UK firmware (probably because the UK shipped a few weeks earlier). On top of that this is my first phone with a contract (subsidized) but from a website (gsmweb) rather than the provider. So the firmware could be UK, Dutch or Dutch Vodafone afaik...
Either i have the right firmware, or Kies just reads the current firmware, not the origingal. If i ever flash another firmware, i'll check if Kies still says this (Dutch, unbranded) is my original firmware.

LH1 is a recent firmware so if your phone is older than a few months its not the original .
((Some say Kies will give original firmware ))
like i said some say that .
But i have no evidence that they are not getting a Kies report based on the HDSWVER in the windows registry .I could test as i know my original firmware but KIES is not a product i use .

So I just bought this phone on ebay and right now it's on Gingerbread 2.3.4, So I decieded to update it to Jelly Bean via kies. When I plug it into Kies, it just says connecting for a long time and then says Your device isn't compatible with kies 2.0. Also, I have noticed that the IMEI number says unknown. is it suppose to do that when the phone isn't activated? and how can I fix the kies issue and update to Jelly Bean?
Sounds like the phone you purchased has a bad or generic imei. Maybe that is the reason it was sold on ebay? Anyway, you can probably not recover the original imei, and may have to use it with a generic imei. You will probably have to flash the latest stock firmware via Odin.

Did the description of the item on ebay say that there was a problem with the imei? If so and you bought it anyway you won't be able to return it. Otherwise I would just follow creepys advice and hope for the best

Look in the Download Repository; the link is in my signature. All the stock firmware are there, the latest one is at the very bottom.

I think you bricked your phone.
If it is unrooted then connect it to kies and install the latest android version 4.1.2 and then check this issue.
Or if it is not recognised by kies then go to sammobile.com click on firmware section choose your country and download the lastes firmware and flash it from odin. There are lots of guides available for flashing any official rom via Odin.
Good luck

Did you try to update it with kies. ?? As you have to install the firmware again.
If you have tried other sims than it sound like it's a hardware issue. Probably should send it in for repair.
