u can get the stock firmware (GB) pertained to ur region for I9100P either from www.sammobile.com or by typing Chekfus in google search
and flash the same thro ODIN
Thanx...i'll have a look
I flashed I9100PBVKI3_I9100PORAKI3_I9100PBVKI2 with odin v1.85 & this downgraded my phone to Gingerbread 2.3.4 (Orange).
I had to set up my internet & mms settings manually because i'm on the '3' network, other than that, all is running smoothly.
Hope this helps others that want to downgrade.

it is possible to downgrade your model. you can go to sammobile.com, make an account there (if you don't have one) and download. Flash the file via odin (if possible, use the latest version of odin).. this is the safest method i know.
Tip:
after unzipping the file you downloaded, you'll find a .tar file.. open odin (put your phone to download mode and connect it to pc) and click on the PDA button on odin and click on the .tar file you extracted.. click on start.
VOILA! you just flashed a stock firmware
I hope this helped
I have an account, but all that comes up is the ics firmware which I had already.
Didnt they have an unbranded firmware?.I wouldnt want carriers crap on my phone.

Sorry mate,bit busy.
Unzip file.No password needed.You will see a file that ends in tar.md5.Put this file in PDA in Odin and select START without selecting anything else.When flash is finished do a factory reset.
Done.
Hi guys,
My friend's got a problem. He installed resurrection remix v 1.9.1 by westcrip 4.0.4 on his s2.
The kernel is:
3.0.31-siyah-v.3.2.4+
[email protected] #32

He didn't do a backup before installing it and now he wants the original rom back. Could anyone here tell me exactly what he has to do?
He doesn't know anything about flashing roms etc and he did it as in the tutorial to get resurrection remix, so we need an easy tutorial (I don't own a s2 so I can't help him much).
His S2 has no branding.
Thx and please help!

Only your friend can know what firmware was on his phone before flashing the custom ROM. I suggest to use CheckFus to get the latest official firmware for the phone and then flash it using ODIN.

Using CheckFus is self-explanatory and for using ODIN there are already many excellent and easy to read guides here.
So CheckFus will tell which firmware is right for his device? It will tell exactly which firmware?
And could you post a link to a thread, where is explained how to flash the firmware using odin. Cause I don't understand anything about basebandkernel, and we don't know which firmware was there as he bought the device and which kernel and which baseband and whatever. Is there any tutorial for noobs?
Could you excatly post which firmware we need from here to get phone back on stock ics? We want a german firmware if possible. (I know you could just say ask google, but at xda heres a great community and I don't understand anything of odin and want to know which files exactly I have to download for phone, pda and cdc. That would be so great!)
Please help us!
Thx in advance!
Michi
EDIT:: I found this here: http://androidfirmwares.net/PhoneFirmware/Download/120
Can I download there and then I have to put them like this:
PDA: XWLPF
PHONE (Modem): XXLPX
CSC: OXILP6
?
And then get s2 to download mode?
And what about the kernel? There is this kernel on s2 right now:
3.0.31-siyah-v.3.2.4+

You will have to do quite a lot of reading. Start by reading the Stickies and then read this thread which explains how to use ODIN.
Remember: only fools rush in - take your time and read before flashing
Thanks a lot, but what about kernel now? We'll have to read the thread, but I just want to know if the firmware from android firmware was right and if I could flash the rom if I just put these 3 Phon,Pda and Csc in the fields and without repartition. So what about the kernel?
Sorry if I nerve you, but I'm a noob with s2/flashing etc and it's not my phone
Thx!

The kernel is part of the stock firmware.
So we just need to place these 3 files in the right order in odin (PDA: XWLPF, PHONE (Modem): XXLPX, CSC: OXILP6) and go in download mode on galaxy s2. Then we can flash the firmware which is stock? And then we can update via kies if possible and use kies and etc? there's nothing else to do? And after the we have warranty as if we have just bought it?
EDIT:: I downloaded it but in the 7z file there were only boot modem cache etc and these were iso files? What have I got to do? Where can I download just pda, phone and csc? I dont get that!
Pls help!

You can try www.sammobile.com for stock firmware too. You'll have to sign up, but it's worth it. You just search for the stock firmware for your device and flash through Odin. Do not use the repartition button or the pit file and you should be fine.

I doubt that, the 7z file contains one tar.md5 file. Do not untar it, no one said you should do so. For ODIN read and follow the instructions according to the link I posted in post #4. That thread tells you what to do with the firmware file.

extract the file u downloaded from samfirmware or checkfus
u will have two files in it (in Latest gb or ics)
insert it in pda and flash
and ur done
the kernel is included in the firmware ..
Thx guys now I hope this is my last question on this topic:
I read the guide and downloaded a firmware. Now I don't understand the thing with checkfus. Do I really need checkfus or can I just download this firmware for a s2, unbranded, bought on amazon and it's a german s2?
Can I only put this extracted .tar.md5 file in PDA Section in Odin, boot s2 into download mode and connect to pc. Then click start and everything should went fine?
I own a xperia mini pro and there I must flash kernel and then firmware, so at odin and s2 the kernel will be changed when I flash pda and is included in pda?
Sorry, I asked same before, but I don't really understood
Thx for your great answeres, xda is a super community!

CheckFus is used to download the latest firmware. As you have downloaded the firmware from somewhere else, you do not need CheckFus anymore.

Flash stock rom after resurrection remix
I just reflashed my samsung J-500H with the stock rom after gapps started crashing on resurrection remix. I had no problems going back to stock except the I had a boot loop for a few times my remedy was to do a data and factory reset on stock recovery. I will reflash RR after I find gapps that would work on my J5 Lollipop. Any suggestions?
Hi
guys i had no idea when i installed custom firmware that going back to stoc would require me to know the csc so here i am on the custom version and no way back .Can u guys tell me an alternative way to know what my phone orignally had ?
P.s. i also require the software to download stock rom on to my pc
Thanks

That's not very hard to find.
Go to sammobile.com en choose there for your type of S3 and choose the country your are in.
Now download the firmware you want and flash with ODIN.
You should be Fine
Hey all.
After reading about the brickbug and failing the eMMC test, im a little confused as to the safest way to root and install a custom rom.
I am currently runnning ICS 4.0.3 with I9100TDULPB kernel on an aussie vodafone branded device.
Do i simply use odin to flash a stock samsung JB ROM, then flash Philz or Siyah JB kernel for root+cwm, then custom rom install via cwm?
I would also like to retain the option of flashing my carrier stock image incase of warranty purposes.
Cheers

Exactly !
PD: Remember to follow the installation instructions on the rom thread, otherwise u'll end in nasty bootloops
Thanks for the quick reply
So this will ultimately allow me to odin flash back to the stock ICS Vodafone Branded ROM later down the track?
Cheers.

I am not sure if the rom you use is using the latest base.
If that is the case, the BTU/XEU has not updated yet... you can use XEF which is the French version. That has latest base and should flash.

Thank you will try
Also you don't reported which Odin version you was using. you need Odin 3.13.1 to flash Oreo firmware.
And you can't downgrade the bootloader. So you need to flash a stock Rom with same or newer bootloader like already installed.
Don't be afraid to hit the "Thanks" button if someone helped you. It don't hurts

I used the latest odin and now just trying to find the latest firmware , I'm downloading XEF the French firmware that the previous comment mentioned
I would use the stock firmware with the manufacturer CSC of the device.
And there is a log window in Odin that shows logs of the flash process. There showing often useful informations. So next time make a screenshot with this logs and post it here
