Don't..! Your phone will heat to 2765.8957 Celsius and turn into liquid goo which will spawn demons at 3:00 am in the night..
Though with me it was unicorns at 3:00 pm during the day..!
PS: Next time use the search button..
And wrong section..

Use google, you have 10k guides there how to upgrade phone. And guides how to flash not stock rom... Use brain! Also wrong topic.

Noobs shouldn't be treated this way, remember we were all noobs once, so you can take your sarcasm and shove it right up.

DO NOT use that freakin re-partition option unless you know what you're doing.
Now, search for a proper 16GB pit and do re-partition again.

Hay gingerbread & ics 4.0.3 r buggy & laggy & not so much battery life friendly. For this reason i don't like these two Os. But ics 4.0.4 is faster, smoother, stable & battery life friendly.

Cuz european rom is better then other region. if u wanna update ur firmware from gingerbread or ics 4.0.3 to ICS 4.0.4, at first u need 2 wipe ur phone factory data, catch partition & delvic catch.

thanks this thread's info + this guide at http://www.teamandroid.com/2012/10/17/how-to-root-xwlpw-android-404-ics-galaxy-s2-i9100/ allowed me to finally get off my backside and root my stock optus Galaxy S2 (GTI9100, 4.0.4, I9100XXLQ6) phone
Hey Guys!
I just bought the mighty S2 and am loving it.
Baseband version: I9100DDLPA
Build Number: IML74K.XWLP7
I tried rooting my phone with ODIN and CF_ROOT method. This is the file version i used.
CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip
Now after rooting, my phone booted automatically. When i tried restarting, it was getting stuck on the yellow triangle.
I then downloaded the other kernel and tried flashing that too with ODIN.
CF-Root-SGS2_DX_XTC_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip
But alas..
Then i downloaded the official ROM for my country and flashed it with ODIN. Fixed my phone. Below is the firmware i used.
GT-I9100_INU_I9100XWLP7_I9100ODDLP9_I9100DDLPA
This runs on ICS 4.0.3. I see that there's one more ROM of my country thats 4.0.4 on samsung-updates.
So my questions are as below
1) Which CF_ROOT version do i use to get my stock firmware rooted?
2) Is 4.0.4 any better than 4.0.3? Where do i find the changelog?
3) Can I flash a firmware of ANY country? Does it matter if I flash the firmware of my neighboring country?
4) Where do i find the stock kernel for my Firmware?
5) Does flashing the official firmware flash the stock kernel along with it? Meaning will it remove the Siyah-s2-v4.1.5 i am currently running :cyclops: ?
6) If 5 is yes, and if i need to by chance send my phone to the service center for warranty, and also if I am running a custom rom, will flashing the original firmware of my country + removing the yellow triangle + resetting the counter bring it back to warranty? ;P
7) Is there a way to try a ROM from the SD card without actually flashing it?
I seriously gotta parcel a crate of beer for the one who answers my questions.. One all set, I am in for trying out a custom ROM!

1 I don't know I use siyah kernel to root although there are full instructions in chainfires thread.
2 4.0.4 is better than 4.0.3 as it's an upgrade , use Google for change log.
3 yes you can flash any countries rom for your device.
4 in Stock rom. Just reflash the ROM to stock kernel, but this will loose root access.
5 yes. Correct.
6. It will remove triangle but you need triangle away app to reset counter. Credits to chainfire
7 no not that I know of.
Sir can I suggest you read the sticky threads in this forum. There are many excellent guides, advice, tips and information. You would do well to read them to save bricking your new device.

Hi Handsy. I am doing that. Thats were i learnt how to root n stuff but it failed. Hence used Siyah kernel and automagically got Root access
Anyway regarding point number 4, i didnt understand what you meant. DO I reflash the entire 350MB firmware just to get the stock kernel??

Yes to get stock kernel re-flash the whole stock rom. There is a method of extracting the kernel from the zip file but I've never tried it. Easy and safe to re flash whole rom package.

Thanks for the great help! +1 for ya
I noticed that flashing the firmware didnt make a single change to my phone. The apps and settings were totally intact. Will installing 4.0.4 too be the same? Also i heard about this brick bug on our phone. Does that happen while only wiping data/cahche using CWM? Is there an anther way of wiping data/cache/dalvik etc? other than factory reset for the bug

When moving between like firmwares (same number) you often do this without wiping data however when upgrading or down grading a full wipe is necessary. To avoid brick bug only wipe with a custom kernel eg siyah etc

Got softbricked. Bootloop. Need help to unbrick.
Welcome to the GT-I9100 forum.....
Hi all,
well, I've read the site rules and watched carefully the video... I fully admit that I'm a noob and I'm ready to live with this status for a while
Despite this, I'll anyway post my questions, and I'm really grateful in advance for any help.
I want to root my SGS2 because I would like to install some specific apps and why not to change the rom to have something more "serious".
My actual config is as follow:
GT-I9100
Android version: 4.0.4
Base band: I9100BULP8
Kernel version: 3.0.15-1056084 [email protected] #3 SMP PREEMPT Thu Sep 13
Built: IMM76D.BULPG
I'm really not familiar with all terms used in the android space, I read several threads looking for a rooting manual and found quite good stuff. My actual worry is that I'm unable to find something (cf_root etc...) to use matching with my actual installed levels, can someone point me out on a sure rooted stuff and how to.
I don't want to have my phone out of order, this is the reason for this post. As stated I got confused and got lost with the wording used, ex: don't use this rom because if you have the eMMC chip with VYL00M (my case) etc... That's why thanks in advance !
Mo
you can flash siyah from this thread :

Flashing siyah will gain you root after which you can flash any Rom of your choice..

Lol the poor guy ain't good with technical words, you see your current version of kernel probably has a serious issue called a brick bug, it renders the phone unusable and recovery is a hassle in case of soft brick, hard brick situation is unrecoverable. Install got brick bug app by chainfire and check whether you are vulnerable so you can be more cautious, installing cm roms and certain other roms are safe, before flashing you must check whether it is effected by eMMc brick bug, and do not perform any erase activity if you are effected by the bug.
Peace
Edit : If you are effected install via Odin only. And this bug is present only in ICS Roms currently, if you are in gb you are safe, and be careful about flashing stock ICS use safe custom roms which has eMMc Cap erase disabled.
Using GT - I9100
I thank those who give helpful comments
I expect the same from others.
Hi,
thank you both for your answers, Siyah looks a good alternative. Is there a specific version to use ?
Is installing a CF-root a more straight forward process ? Assuming to find the right one...
Thanks again

Siyah is the best alternative for u ma8, as its brick bug free for sure and beeing the best kernel to root with gr8 success
u dwnld the tar file of siyah version 4.1.5 for S2 and flash the same by putting the file in 'PDA' section of 'ODIN' to root ur phone
u can google for lot of Youtube Video guides avilable for ODIN flash on ur s2
You can flash This from stock recovery (place the file in SD Card) and flash via stock recovery , then flash any custom Rom if you want to try JB , try NeatROM Lite v4.0 , after flashing this , you can just flash latest PhilZ Kernel v3.75 (Link in my signature )
Thanks for your help,
a last question (I hope) why the 4.1.5 version instead of the 5.0.1 ?
Stability issues ?
Have a good day

first root ur phone using v4.1.5 and then upgrade it to v5.0.1
i dislike the siyah v5.0.1..best to use siyah 4.1.5
so basically steps:
1. Install clockwork mode recovery(CWM) through recovery mode
2. Install siyah 4.1.5 by installing zip from sd card
3. now install any rom of your choice and enjoy
OK I am a NOOB too but need some clarification I just replaced my i9100 do to a brick bug so I gotta get this right. I just checked the replaced motherboard and sure enough it also has the bug SO, I need to know as it does seem quite clear already but only say 90% so to make it ABSOLUTELY CLEAR in order to avoid the bug I simply have to use siyah 4.1.5 and then I am free to flash whatever, GB + ICS + JB / 4.0.4 , 4.1.1 whatever the bug ONLY applys to my understanding (correct me here) with stock recovery and original ICS kernel.
NEXT NOOB question often ROM's pack in a kernel what things could bring back a dangerous situation. Flashing ROM's ? (maybe include a dangerous kernel or something ?).... 2: apps? can I ever factory data wipe safely again or with siyah after the previous protocol is it safe ? ?
:silly::silly:Also really Confused !?!?!?!:silly::silly:

i dislike the siyah v5.0.1..best to use siyah 4.1.5
so basically steps:
1. Install clockwork mode recovery(CWM) through recovery mode
2. Install siyah 4.1.5 by installing zip from sd card
3. now install any rom of your choice and enjoy

Hey all,
just to let you know the status. I installed Siyah 4.1.5 using Odin as advised by Sun90 and everything went perfectly smooth.
Thank you !
I think my mext move will be first to install a good backup tool then to scout for other rom like cyanogen etc...
@futiless,
as I said using Odin, it's safe ! I read that dual boot is now available with the latest version of Siyah, that could be the answer for trying new roms while preserving a working one. For sure I'll test it.
Thanks again for your help

Hey,
I have samsung galaxy s2 which i just rooted yesterday. I dont understand anything yet aboat flashing a new firmware like 4.1.2 to my 4.0.4 ICS.
First I rooted my phone with Odin and file called CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5.tar. All went fine and I had the root acces. After that I put a Siyah Kernel v.4.0.1 to my phone from CWR startup (install zip from sd card). Now I want to know how to install Roms(?) to my phone and how to install 4.1.2 android in to it?
Heres my phone infos
Model GT-l9100
Android version 4.0.4
Bandwidth version l9100XXLQ6

Even though ur phone has got a insane chip, its safe for now since u have installed siyah kernel which is 'Brick Bug' free ma8
as for as leaked JB v4.1.2, its better to stay away from it, since its a test version not a official release by samsung
u can visit a cpl of rom threads in both the 'Original android development' section as well as the ' Android development' section, go thro the change logs in the main page of the rom threads, see the one that suits u best
then u can flash the same as per the install instructions on those threads and see

So i cant brick my phone anyway anymor or hows?
Can you name me some reason not to install 4.1.2? I would be so intrested in installing it!
How do I install the roms then? Connect computer and phone -> download mode -> ODIN -> put the rom in there and start it?
or
Can I put the file into sd card and open CRW and then run the zip from e.g sd card?
Do i need to wipe anything before doing either of them? Will it brick my phone??
Thanks mates!

Wanamlite rom have Philz kernel which is brickbug free.
You already have flashed siyah kernel wich is also brick bug free.
wipe not brick your phone.
