I'm currently running XWLP7 firmware and there is an upgrade to xwlpi firmware.
The question I want to ask is, does anyone know anything about this firmware? I can't find any info on it at all.
Also does upgrading through mean I will lose things on my phone like Jkay framework and supercharger tweaks etc?
I've never upgraded through kies and don't know if this upgrade is worth it or not.
Any help/info would be great
Thanks in advance
If your using a Custom ROM then don't update via kies, you'll end up in a boot loop...and even if you aren't , from what I've read updating via kies isn't recommended+is the firmware 4.0.4?

Thank you for your reply,
I'm not actually sure what the upgrade is I assume it's 4.0.4 but it doesn't say. It's tells me it's:
PDA: xwlpi (which I can't find any info on) phone:xwlpx. And Csc: lp2
If it is 4.0.4 is there any point? Do you what thanges are from 4.0.3?
I'm running stock Lp7 rom but with Jkay framework and a few tweaks and mods.
Thanks for any help
From experience and what I have read, 4.0.4 is buggy and there is also the risk of the brick bug kernel so in my opinion its not worth upgrading, stay on 4.0.3 or use a custom ROM if you want 4.0.4 although there isn't much change!

-Yes, 4.0.4 has a brick bug on its kernel.
-Yes, it's not worth upgrading to it only for NOOBS who can't read or ask questions.
-presently, 4.0.4 is the most stable, fastest and smoothest stock ICS firmware for galaxy SII. I've tested and reviewed it myself

Thank you for your reply.
I probably wont bother upgrading as 4.1 JB for the S2 is just around the corner.....
You say it's not worth upgrading, but then you say it's the most stable, smoothest and fasted stock firmware?
It seems a little contradictory to me.........

In a way, he mean 4.0.4 is good, but you need to use a safe kernel instead of original samsung kernel, otherwise you're looking for trouble.

Cool I thought that's what he meant
I'll just hold tight for jelly bean then as I use the MHL output too much to use a custom kernel.
It's strange that Samsung have made kernels with the EMMC erase command. I wonder why they did that, there must be a reason, they're not stupid. Maybe they were trying to stop people playing around with the software..

From what I read, the EMMC_CAP_ERASE was introduced as a feature, but too bad it doesn't work well with the controller, and ended up corrupting the nand. Having said that, the way they continue to release the bad kernel to the public despite knowing the bug is a pretty bad move IMHO.
p/s: Opps, that "thanks" is free.

-Yeah, the kernel bug is bad but I'm not sure if it will brick the phone if factory reset is done in the phone and not via CWM.
-All the bricked devices reported / I've known for now, have been through factory reset or restoring backup via CWM recovery

I said so because I read from this, better be safe than sorry.
Operations that are likely to cause damage when running an affected kernel:
Wiping in CWM (and likely any other custom recovery) (confirmed)
Restoring a Nandroid backup in CWM (wipes first)
Flashing another firmware in CWM (most flashes wipe first)
Wiping in stock 3e recovery (suspected, also wipes a partition)
Deleting large files when running an affected kernel (suspected but not confirmed)

Sure, it's better to be safe than sorry but the truth still remains, a regular user, who only format /reset his phone under SETTINGS-back up and restore will never hard brick his device while running stock 4.0.4.
Technically speaking, The main problem is not with the kernel but with some bad emmc chip in some phones (galaxy SII and note). We all know that some users still have normal emmc chip and will never brick their device even if they wipe in CWM recovery while running stock 4.0.4 kernel.

Try in settings/developer options --> make sure you have nothing checked in that menu. If this doesn't help you, you should consider to reflash the rom via odin, or use a custom rom of your taste.
Cheers!
Edit: do you have stock luncher or a custom one? Are you sure that your issue is not related to the mods you made (i see a different battery icon)... just wandering
Cant see your screenshot. Can you attach it again buddy..

I took this screenshot after flashed Wanamlite 12.4 and it based on 4.0.4 XWLPU firmware. After that I was back to stock XWLPU firmware and saw the same issue.
Nothing special in Development setting.

Maybe a different kernel would solve it? That's the only solution I can come up with, since the other one was to flash a different stock ROM, but you've already tried that.

I tried some another kernel such as lastest Siyah 4.1 or Speedmod 3.31 but cannot resolve this issue.
But with Wanam Lite 12.3, no have the same problem.
Ah, I use Galaxy S2 Korea version flashed International firmware or I9100 custom rom.

Well, you found out the problem then Do try to read before flashing different ROMs. The most popular custom roms are for the international version, and many people who have other variants face similar problems when they just flash away without reading.

Well, but i have a question. Why Wanam 12.3 (4.0.4 XWLPT base) no has this issue and Wanam 12.4 (also 4.0.4 but XWPLU base) has this.
I asked Wanam so i wait him answer or give me one solution.

Your phone, Galaxy SII Korea, should not be the cause of the problem.
My friend has M250 as well and I've helped him flash almost every custom ROM out there.
Contact the developer of Wanamlite first on the Rom's thread.
If he nobody can help you out, then report here

Unbelievable.
The original definition of a "brick" as applied to a device is once you have "bricked" said device, that is all it is good for; a brick. It won't even turn on, let alone boot and run.
Somewhere along the way, the definition became so loose that it now applies to devices that power on but don't boot; or boot, but boot loop... and this is known as a "soft brick". (which I think is ridiculous - there is no such thing as a "soft brick" as far as I'm concerned)
If your device powers on, it is not bricked.
I can't even believe you would ask if your device is bricked if you have it powered up and fully running.

Hello everyone,
I rooted my Galaxy i9100 S2 using the SU Busybox method ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 ) with a view to installing cyanogenmod CM9. I installed CWM recovery and successfully rooted the phone. It rebooted and I had the Superuser app.
Then, I entered CWM recovery to install the CM9 rom. After I selected the option to Wipe data/factory reset, the phone started wiping the data and then it suddenly turned itself off. Now it will not turn itself on, nor will it charge. Basically, nothing is displayed on the screen. I tried all methods available, from trying to enter recovery mode to doing a soft reset, and nothing happens.
I was running on the stock Samsung Android ICS ROM. I didn't get to install a custom ROM, and the root went well, as I was able to boot successfully after that.
Why do you think this happened? Do you have any advice for me ?
Thanks a lot !
If you had 4.0.4 stock samsung ics with brick bug you can say good bye to your phone. . .

Were you on ICS 4.0.4? If so, and you have used wipe data/factory reset with the stock CWM, I think you may have been hit by the infamous eMMc brick bug. I believe the only fix is a replacement motherboard or Samsung Repair Centre.

Motherboard replacements are possible yes. I'm not sure where you can purchase one. I'm handy with computers myself but I don't think I would want to replace it myself. I'm just wondering because I remember reading somewhere that Samsung said something like they would help fix phones hit by the brick bug because it was their fault. Don't hold me to that, but also because you were on stock ICS, Samsung may repair it if it's still in warranty of course.

Not in a bad mood bro. In fact my team just won.
The thing is, I'm always not so happy with people bricking their phone when it was avoidable in the first place. That warning thread was made sticky for some reason.
You know we always warn people about the stock 4.0.4 kernel, but some of them like the OP will always blame Samsung for their own error as if Samsung wanted them to flash a custom ROM in the first place.
It's just not good enough!

I didn't know I have to search the whole forum before doing a wipe. It's not an uncommon procedure...
Anyway, I took it to my local Samsung service. The phone is still under warranty, so the guy said it might take a few days but it will be free. The guy also said they have had a few instances like this.
When I get the phone back, can I flash a 4.0.3 stock rom, and then wipe data/factory reset ? I really want CM9 (the latest version, with 4.0.4) installed on it, as I like the stock android feel...

Don't worry, the insane chip will only cause a brick when you try to wipe data/factory reset when using the stock CWM on 4.0.4 ROM's. Your on 4.1 so your fine.
As for the bugs concerning CM10, please remember that they are still in nightly and no Release Candidate has been made yet.
If you have any concerns, drop a message in the CM10 thread, someone will be able to help you better there.

i rooted my friends galaxy s2 boost.. and wanted to kno if there was a stock rooted rom i can flash for him.. i flashed goodness rom.. and i made a back up.. see what happend is i rooted his phone all he wanted was stock root.. but when i backed up the stocked rooted rom.. then i rebooted system it was stuck in a bootloop.. so the i wiped everything and tried to restore samething so then i didnt kno what else to do so i flashed goodness rom.. and he wants just stock root.. so im stuck.. the backup i made aint workin? i cant seem to find just a stock rooted rom? thanks
So what model is the phone? I9100, i9100g, etc. You can either download a stock firmware from samfirmware, flash it then root, which will get you back to rooted stock, or, hunt around on xda for your model variant.

I no what you have mate :thumbup:Im thinking s2 boost is the 4g model. Maybe wrong here but I would flash i9100 rom on that. Dont have one so not sure.
This is it here. Not an i9100. Has 8mp camera so I defo wouldnt flash i9100 rom on that.
Ahhh. Cool, gotcha. Also not sure whether it's flashable with an i9100 rom, it still depends on what model it is. If it's an i9100m, maybe.... If it's this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23042515 then probably not, and if it's as the screenshot attached, then definitely not.

What are you guys talking about?
All these devices use different CPU and GPU.
Don't encourage people to flash these ROMs on any I9100 or vice versa.
I9100 works on the P/M/T not G tho.
The closest US variant to the I9100 is the I777 and those ROMs aren't even compatible.
