Hello, my first post here. In february I modified my phone (swedish) and it has all been working ok up until yesterday. Well actually for the last couple of weeks the battery has started running hot and draining fast. But yesterday the sim disappeared and I can get no connection, it even gets stuck when I put it in flight mode.
So I figured I should update things in the best way, but how to go about it. I used guides to get it done last time but I have forgotten most of that and I would be very grateful for help to proceed. I need a stable system only, no clocking etc.
Greetings/ Roger
My system today is as follows
Model number GT-I9100
Android version 2.3.6
Baseband version Unknown
Kernel version 2.6.35.7-I9100XWLA4-CL900411

You have unknown baseband and IMEI issue!
Dial *#06# to confirm.
Upgrade to ICS ROM/firmware first, then report if your problem still persists.

Jonesy,
when I dial *#06# it says IMEI ok
ICS ROM/firmware? I could search for hours and still be wondering if I had found what I am looking for. Could you point me to where I could find this and do I use Odin to upgrade??
Many thanks

if ur rooting ur phone and trying to install a custom rom then there is no point in updating to the latest stock version
if u want to continue with stock, then its good to update it to the latest version
To clarify, I see a 4.0.4 for nordic countries at the same place where the 4.0.3 was. So would it be safe to upgrade it to 4.0.4 using Odin?Or is 4.0.4 a whole different matter? Cheers

Ok, so I can update to 4.0.4 using Odin or Kies and then Root it then? I need that to unlock the carrier.
Would upgrading mean a full swipe?

no upgrading is not fullwipe, but in order to have stability u have to do a factory reset after upgrading
before doing factory reset u can backup ur phone with KIES
Dont upgrade to 4.0.4, until you aren't aware of emmc Superbrick Bug

Hi, i just got a new s2 on orange, plugged it into kies and it updated to 4.0.4. I want to root this phone to get rid of all oranges annoying bloatware but have just read somewhere about the latest update causing phones to hard brick. Has anybody rooted their s2 after the 4.0.4 official upgrade and if so can you please give me a link to the kernel i need, build is BVLPC. thanks in advance

There are some safe kernels you can flash over stock that will root without the brick bug. Using Odin you can flash siyah, neek, speed mod and probably others without breaking your new phone!

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. . .
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
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.

Yes, I was running on the 4.0.4 Can I install the motherboard myself ? I am pretty handy with computers...
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.

Hey guys, I have a S2 (4.0.3) which was rooted. So I'd got a update today which said it was a small change so i thought it would be 4.0.3 still with root access.. Well after i updated my android went to 4.0.4 and my rooted as went gone!
So my question is how can I root my phone again or delete SuperSU
My kernel version: 3.0.15-1056084 [email protected] #3
and baseband: I9100XXLQ6
I coudn't find my kernel to re-root it I used the root app from: lyriquidperfection

If you don't want to root anymore then don't ROOT at all.
If you want to root, simply flash a custom kernel via Odin. I recommend Speedmod or Siyah kernel

If you don't want to root anymore then don't ROOT at all.
If you want to root, simply flash a custom kernel via Odin. I recommend Speedmod or Siyah kernel

I don't want but the problem is i can't delete the SuperSU app which is in system that's why i need to root to delete the .apk
But just one more question i know i'm kinda noob haha.. But if i flashed a custom kernel like Siyah (and deleted the .apk) am i available to update upcoming updates no problems after that right?

1. If you flash a custom kernel, you will still have root but you will be 100 % safe from the brick bug. You can still get updates
2. If you are only rooted, it will not brick your device. So there is no need to unroot
3. The most important thing is:
DON'T USE CWM RECOVERY , unless you've flashed a custom kernel

Allright, thanks for the information and the effort, i will tomorrow make clear what happend
Hi!
Yesterday I tried to flash miui rom on my i9100. But when it started to flash the text:
"System FORMAT" was show, and then the screen turned black and now I
cant start the phone, I cant get into CWM or download mode, it doesnt work with a jig either.
Is my phone totally bricked?
Nothing happens when I plug it into the computer, and the same thing when I try to charge it.

You have to accept every blame here simply because you ignored the warnings all over the forum concerning stock ICS 4.0.4 brick bug issue.
