Yes, ED04. Verizon could decide to make, um, some other ROM official tomorrow, and then wouldn't all this look silly?lol~ it happened! nothing to see in my thread move along to this one And why hasn't anybody done this before?

Obviously, it isn't a full Odin file. It includes just the stock kernel (which will flash stock recovery if given the chance) and the stock system partition image, and you would brick your phone if you tried repartitioning in Odin with this. Maybe if, for whatever reason, you feel the imminent necessity of getting your phone to look like your mother's ED04, you might find this interesting. Particularly interesting in the context of things like this and this. Use your imagination. If you wanna get a party started, you're gonna have to BYOB.
I also found these other files on the ground, after nearly tripping over them, but I couldn't quite decide what to make of them. I think they might have something to do with OTA.

Alright, I'll explain myself. Yes, flashing a known good full DL09 odin with repartition is one way to get things started. And yes, these are the official and signed OTAs, so they do update everything and they do work with stock recovery if renamed as just update.zip. Just remember that if you checked the repartition box in Odin, you need to boot into stock immediately after that to format the new partitions and allow your phone to save data.
There are other ways to use these files. For example, from a custom TouchWiz rom with ED04 modem, you might flash the partial ED04 Odin, do a factory data reset, and be done with it. Or you might have to flash the DL09 modem on top of that and use the modem delta upgrade technique. Or you might only want to unroot yourself from a rooted ED04 and keep all your data. It depends on your situation and preference, which is why I said to use your imagination. I included some links to help people with their research into what they have to do and why to get where they want.
The whole point of all this, besides putting the files out there, was to make damn sure that people can get to ED04 without having to rely on Verizon. I know some people were trying to get back to stock and odining the full DI01 or DL09, only to find that they couldn't initiate the OTA. And I've helped at least one dude who was (long story short) overseas.
Enjoy.

Quicker way to get to ED04 modem from DL09
View attachment DL09toED04_modemdelta.zip
This is much quicker way to get to ED04 modem once you odin DL09 radio. This was formerly under the stickies http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013312 for radios under http://adbdev.com/danknub/ but the link is now dead, so I thought I would put it back up here. Just talking radios here. The ED04 Odin in the op will get your system and kernel to ED04 stock.
Odin for DL09 radio /modem is under development sticky by nitsuj by clicking the first link in this post.
I have a mac, so no odin, and Heimdall won't recognize my sgs2. Originally i rooted my phone with a shell script. I then used Rom Manager to install Cyanogenmod 7.1. All was good til I decided to give ICS a spin, so I downloaded kp8 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php
And tried to flash using Mobile Odin. It flashed, rebooted, and now I am stuck at the boot screen. I am guessing that maybe I needed to get a CF-Recovery compatible build??
Anyways, just want to get back in working condition. I currently have no way to mount the sd card (no sd card mount option in normal recovery), so I have to wait until tomorrow when I can borrow a friends phone. Should I just try to update to a CF- kernel?
Do I need a pc?
Thanks
Do you have CWM recovery, or stock recovery?
If you have CWM recovery boot into it and wipe data/cache and it may boot or flash a rom of your SD card.
Otherwise borrow someones PC and use odin to flash back to GB, make sure to flash the GB bootloaders first. (On that note, did you flash the ICS bootloaders? As if you didnt that might be why its not booting)

Yup, you need new bootloaders for ICS, but beware, the current ICS leaks are buggy and not really ready to be daily drivers.
As you have stock recovery, I would just borrow someones PC and use odin to flash stock gingerbread back.
never mind
Just an update. I got the ability to copy files to my sd card. I have tried to do an update from sd card with
i9100XXKG1
CF-Root-SGS2_XW_CLK_KF3-v4.0-CWM4
Both resulting in "Signature verification failed".

Is my only recourse to find a pc or should I try something else? If I get a pc I will only have access to it for a short time, so want to make sure I am trying the right things.
That flash failed as Rom Manager likely broke recovery (has happened to me in the past, Rom Manager - bad).
PC as previously advised. I'd say you've exhausted all the non-PC options.

Ok. And one last question, as far as flashing stock gingerbread (or a diff stock ROM), what would be the best, safest package to try? I do not know my kernel version, and can't find out (as I can't boot)
My phone is the international version of sgs2, purchased in Germany, csc code DBT.
searching for stock gingerbread for my phone seems to come up with a bunch of different builds.
Thanks
KI4 seems to be the most recent in Intra's thread, so I'd go with that. Not that it makes a massive amount of difference tho.

Update:
Got a pc and got odin working. Flashed MultiCSC_OXA_I91000XXKI2.tar . rebooted and it tried to go into recovery mode then gave me a dead robot with a red exclamation point, which doesn't seem good.
Ideas?

Hi, I've flashed my S2 (Android 2.3.4) with litening rom (V2.0 XXKG1) a while back.
I've been wanting to root ICS on it with Odin (it's from the UK so I'd use the official firmware from Orange, if there's no better choice), but I'm afraid that since it contains a custom rom that was designed for gingerbread it might have some incompatibility issues.
Do I need to restore my phone to factory settings or can I just root ICS on top of what's already there?
Also, once I root the official new firmware will all those pesky stock apps from samsung come back?
Thanks for any help!
1) Follow whatever instructions the specific ICS rom has re: flashing it.
If it says it's OK to flash directly from GB, then go for it. If it says do something different, do that. If it doesn't mention flashing something else over the top of GB before flashing the ICS rom, I think you can pretty safely assume you don't need to (unless the dev of the ICS rom expects you to be a mind reader).
2) Re: restoring factory settings first, refer to 1 (but likely for most roms so you don't end up with a lot of FCs on system apps).
3) That will depend on whether the rom you flash has those pesky apps included and whether you need to do a factory reset/wipe or not (refer to 2; likely)
Hello,
I have flashed my SG S II with Lite'ning Rom v2.3 XWLP2. Previously i was on a gingerbread previous version of Lite'ning rom, which worked flawlesly for several months.
Everything seemed fine and i restored with Titanium only my missing apps+data (not the system data).
After a few hours, the phone started to at times not be able to see the sd card. More importantly, it would suddenly hung and reboot, appear to be working for a couple of minutes and reboot again. This would happen for 10 mins. Then without changing anything, everything would be normal again for 5-6 hours, after which rinse and repeat.....
Does anybody else have the same problem or did i do something wrong? Could anybody know if fs there anything i could do to fix it other than reflashing again?
Thanks in advance guys...
Factory reset in the first instance, then a reflash with a clean install of everything (No Ti restores).

So basically all I need is to flash a Rom that has been updated to ICS and it will update my phone too? I thought I needed to update the firmware and then flash a Rom
As I said yesterday, follow whatever specific instructions the rom you're wanting to flash has; for example, CM7 is pretty specific about having to flash the rom twice, CM9 requires a wipe/factory reset if you're coming from another rom.
Rom is another name for firmware.
Modem is separate, a few roms come with a modem & overwrite/replace your existing modem, most do not. Kernels are also included with pretty much all roms & will overwrite/replace your existing kernel.

Just flashed with odin and noticed the following:
1) the flash counter didnt reset, actually added 1 to the counter
2) after flashing, cwm was still on the phone. *flashed a stock telus recovery to fix that.
3) Does not automatically format internal sd
4) Does not restore to factory default settings
5) Boot up music doesnt play
Is it possible to fix these issues?
btw ... why is it such a huge image?

Please read through the entire post. You didn't provide me with a recovery so I could not include it. Also, to use the flash-counter reset, you need CWM, which is why I don't typically include recovery in the Odin-flashable. See the link to braway's method in the OP. The way the flash-counter works, anything that you flash that isn't just a system image increases the flash counter. I had to include the kernel, thus the flash-counter goes up. Using braway's method that I linked to will allow you to completely restore your Note to stock using my files and the recovery you found. If you could provide me with a link to the recovery, I will gladly add it to the OP so others do not have to go looking for it.
No Odin-flashable .tar clears the internal sd or restores the phone to factory settings. It only changes the system image. Kind of like installing windows again on your computer doesn't overwrite all your data unless you format the hard drive.
Also, not owning a Telus Note, I didn't know there was supposed to be boot music. That I cannot explain. I used Da-G's kernel. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this issue.
As for file size, it's the same size as all the other ones. And the same size as the files you provided me. The system.img.ext4 on any Note is about 1 GB.
I hope this clears some of this up.

help, cant get back to stock from ics custom rom.
tried flashing this with no success.
odin freezes and if it says it flashes successfully, phone wouldnt boot after the restart.
came from ics objection rom and wanting to go back to stock.
i cant get anything that i flash through odin working.
ics objection rom runs fine when i flash it back through cwm.
tried flashing stock rooted image from another thread and i get stuck at "the touch the android to begin screen".
any idea whats going on? i know im just doing something wrong because my phone works fine with the objection rom whenever i flash it but when i try to get back to stock, thats where everything gets messed up.
any kind of help would be appreciated.
I've found that the "touch the android to begin" problem occurs if you haven't factory reset when coming from ICS back to this stock ROM. Reboot into CWM and factory reset then reboot the phone,. You should now be able to touch the Android to begin.

------------------------
Hi,
I am trying to go back to full stock from a failed ICS update.
I flashed your pda-odin-telus-stock-system-boot.tar file and I
can get back into the phone but Kies won't allow me to do updates?
What is my next step? Do I need a Telus Stock Recovery file?
Is Kies looking at the flash counter and saying no to updating
my phone because it has gone up?
My phone is not rooted, never has been.
My understanding is Kies won't update if it is rooted and also
to reset the counter with Braway's method you need to be rooted....
I'm real new to all this and all I want is a stock Kies updateable
phone back. Maybe I should have just gave it back to Telus....
Thanks for any help...

After installing the Telus-Modem-CWM.zip file, my phone found the system update and is currently downloading. I will post if this fixed the issue. In any case, Thanks!
My phone is not updating. I have flashed the CWM touch using odin but it won't boot into CWM mode.
Strangely, my baseband remains T989 KJ3 even though I have manually uploaded the files from the "stock" files via adb... it changed from VKL to KJ3...
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot why I can't reboot to CWM? I have flashed it several times now and all were successful. From what I can tell, I have the stock image since I no longer have root.
I have a Telus Note, which I flashed to Rogers ROM so I can get LTE on Rogers and it has now been upgraded to ICS.
But I hate the Rogers crap that comes installed with the ROM and was wondering if its possible to load the TELUS ROM (minus Radio) so I can continue using Rogers LTE?

I just want to say thank you for this. I know this is an old thread, but I just purchased a Rogers i717. I had it unlocked to use my TELUS account, and i kept getting strange errors.
I flashed the stock TELUS image, and modem. From 2.3.6 using Kies I was able to upgrade to 4.0.4.
I must say, TELUS does not put any bloatware on their device compared to the Rogers.
Thank you again

I'm using a Rogers Note on Telus. Speeds are the same, exactly, coming from the Amaze and Xperia Play, you still get 4G/LTE in the same places.

Same here. I just want to say thank you for this awesome thread. I accidentally bricked my Telus i717 while trying to root/flash the kernel. Followed the instructions here to restore back to stock rom and now trying to root again.
So I was having some issues with feedback during calls with almost all custom ROMS. I reverted back to the gingerbread stock rom via odin to see if it was just a ROM problem and I found the source of the initial problem. But now when I boot into the recovery, it won't flash any new ROM I want to go back to. I do the normal flash/wipe + the cache for good measure, and apply the zip and It'll say "Short write of /tmp/sideload/package.zip (no space left on the device)." But I have 4gb free on my phone so i'm definitely not out of space. I've tried the AOKP JB rom, shoshock, and the newest cyanogen mod. No luck on any of them.
What am I doing wrong?
Tell us more details about your process, from stock through root and kernel, and we can help you out better.

Tell us more details about your process, from stock through root and kernel, and we can help you out better.

Well the process is fairly straight forward. I think Ive explained the details as well as I can. I flashed the stock firmware through Odin and can't reflash any new rom or kernel. I made a nanbackup before doing this but the factory stocks kernel doesn't support backup/restore. I need to go from this old stock gingerbread rom back to shoshock or anything else to restore my backup.
In your explanation, I didn't see mention of how you rooted the device, or what custom-kernel you chose, or how (or if) you flashed the custom kernel. The stock recovery won't allow the installation of firmware that was not signed by Samsung, and Odin-flashing custom firmware is not the preferred method.
>>This Guide<< is the most up-to-date, and straight-forward method that I'm aware of for the I777, I highly recommend it.

Once you're rooted and kernel'd, and can tell us what android version firmware you're trying to get to, we can better suggest which custom kernel to flash prior.

Sorry for not elaborating. The stock ROM (the one i'm on now) thats flash-able through odin, is pre-rooted.
I got it from this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
But other than root, its completely stock gingerbread, Stock kernel, Bloatware, ETC. I'm trying to get to at least jelly bean or higher. I was on the shoshock rom before I decided to revert to the factory rom to test some things out. The signed package thing you mentioned makes sense because signature verification fails whenever i try to flash a different kernel. But it wont let me flash any of the jelly bean ROMS either (refer to my first post's error).
I visited the link you provided, and want to give the method a try. But mobile odin lite has been giving me constant trouble. it keeps saying I need to install another ad on in order to flash stuff and when I hit OK, the link takes me to my browser, but doesnt direct me to the web page that provides the ad-on download. Where do I go from here?
The add-on that mobile odin is trying to download is the i777 flash kernel that it needs to perform its magic. It's in post #10 of the mobile odin thread. Whether you use mobile odin lite or pro, you need this flash kernel. I'm not sure why it wouldn't download it from within the app.

Thank you thank you! I will try this out when I get a break from my classes. IDK why it wouldn't either. Much thanks!

Just wanted to confirm that the mobile ODIN method worked and I now have my phone restored to how it was. Thanks again for all the help.
