Quite easy my friend there are files floating about and you download and keep the save... Like so many others...SIMPLE
Again if you have the rom to which you need said file if you know how to extract you could also do it this way...
Here a easy way.. Flash your stock rom once done you can backup said file to a save place and if you need root again you know what to do..
if you want the original kernel...
download your firmware @ sammobile.com
extract it (extract all .tar files)
you'll find a "factoryfs.img". in the same folder there is a "zImage".
thats your kernel...
How can i flash it?
With odin?
I give up

I was on Samsung GT-I9100 / I9100XXK14 / 2.635.7-I9100XXK14 before rooting and flashing custom roms. On 2nd flash I lost all sms and call logs (nothing else) while using Titanium Backup Pro. I also had backed up in Kies. But found out I can't restore from Kies becuz it doesn't recognize custom rom. Purchased TB after I lost original XXK14 firmware due to a botched backup on my part. Can anyone help me get back to my XXK14 firmware temorarily so I cans restore sms and call logs?

Saw this link earlier but the XXK14 download link is broken and I'm not knowledgable as to what other stock roms I can use here in the U.S. on AT&T (not sure that carrier is an issue other than the fact ATT is GSM / HSPA+ 21 Mbps). I'd really appreciate directions to an alternate XXK14 link and/or another compatible GB 2.3.5 stock firmware.

I've checked and can't see anything there. Thanks.
Alternatively use Check Fus, Google it.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Here is what you need to do
1. Get Check FUS downloader: LINK
2. Run FUS Select you Carrier / Region / Model and Download the Stock firmware for your phone.
3. Backup anything you need. You will need to wipe the data and the cache from Recovery mode before you flash the downloaded Fware..
4. Use ODIN and Flash the Downloaded Stock Firmware to your phone. You will loose the root access and you should have your stock back. Yeah before Install Wipe data and cache.
Lemme know if that works. If any doubt... just ask. Dont do anything wrong i'll try to help if i know the answer.

Did you try the "firmwares" link??
I have concerns about you flashing your phone if you can't navigate a website... No offense. I'm not trying to be insulting, but it's really easy to find.
Hi guys,
I'm a newbie so please bare with me. I have a Virgin Mobile UK Samsung Galaxy S2 which was on Gingerbread 2.3.4 or 5. I foolishly flashed it yesterday to yes you guessed it, ICS 4.0.3. Now as far as the phone itself is concerned, everything is working pefectly fine. No issues whatsoever except now I've noticed that my carrier has changed to T-Mobile UK even though the phone has full functionality on the Virgin network still? Also I get the "This device cannot download firmware" message now when connected to Kies.
Have I totally ruined my phones chances of downloading any official firmware in the furture now? And how can I correct the display of my carrier? I'm guessing I will have to find a stock ROM from somewhere and re-install. But doesn't that do something to a ROM install counter someware on the phone?
Thank you in advance.

You are fine. Nothing has gone wrong. Use the FUS and get the stock firmware for you phone. Flash it via ODIN... Read the above few posts.
For your Flash counter and Bin counter, You can reset it back to zero. Look for Triangle.apk . TO use that you need to have a rooted device. Super user permissions... so run Triangle while you have rooted device? If not then root it to reset the bin or flash counter ( If you want) or just flash back the stock Fware..
No you havent ruined you phone. You can download all official firmwares. Just wait for the offical ICS for your region.
Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply. So just to clarify... If I re-install the stock firmware there will be no need to root the device and install the program that resets the counters?
Also, I've noticed that Virgin Mobile UK isn't listed under my territory?
Thanks again.

From memory the only CSC that has Virgin UK is the CPW one Carphone Warehouse . Flash that or enter network settings manually .

So the thing is I'm using ROOTBOX ICS rom, and because I'm willing to gift my phone to a cousin I did a Factory Reset, then my phone turn off and when it tries to wake up, after Samsung logo, it makes like a blink on the screen... every 3 seconds.
I can't enter CWM Recovery using VolUp+Menu+Power, however I can enter Download Mode using VolDown+Menu+Power.
So guys, give me a solution here please.
Thank you so much.

If you don't want to flash a stock ROM, root, and flash a custom ROM again, you can use one of odin flashable files for custom kernels, not all have one but you can check (Dorimanx for example)

If the usb jig is not working then your only option is jtag or else motherboard replacement. Your best bet is to come clean to Samsung and hope that they give you a replacement

I think bvlh1 was the modem as that as listed as orange/T-Mobile......knowing orange I doubt they have ever updated the firmware, if that is the case I can post you a link to original firmware they released, and flashing that should get you kies functionality and in turn, if there is an update, you will/should be able to update.

why do you need a firmware tar? by the way how did you find that page? good find book marked it. i first flashed the full tar in mobile odin and then just the bootloader with pc odin isnt that everything?
somebody posted it in one of my other threads i thinks it was on the ng4 tread isn't that the way we did it before full tar in mobil odin then just the firmware+modem thru pc odin

the firmware only file has the bootloader and the modem. as well as other things probably csc, the full tar file has everything. the problem is that mobile odin does not flash the bootloader so all you need to do is flash the bootloader. if you notice in beanstown thread he has firmware only file and modem only and kernel and fulltar but not bootloader only which is all you really need to flash with pc odin . i checked the phone info app and everything is on nh5. just put the bootloader file in the bl slotand flash. dont bother changing anything else in odin . there is a section that is unchecked in pc odin that says phone bootloader update. leave it unchecked i dont know what happens. if you do check it but the bootloader updates fine without ticking it.also no need to flash modem as it gets upgraded when you flash the full tar in mobile odin
