Hi everyone,
Since I aquired my Samsung Galaxy S2 i only updated software via KIES. In the last update (i think to 4.0.4) the settings always crash.
At startup and whenever i access Settings i receive the following message "Unfortunately, settings has stopped."
I tried to find a solution for this problem, but i still don't know if it is possible to solve it.
I already wiped cache and did a factory reset.
My rom info is the following:
PDA: I9100XWLPW
PHONE: I9100XXLQ6
CSC: I9100DBTLPI
Build Info: Wed Aug 22 22:34:22 KST 2012
Is my only option flash a new firmware using odin?
Or anyone knows another way?
Thanks
PS:
I dont know what is the exact kernel or firmware version tag, since i can't access the settings.
PS2:
I know there are similar posts (for Galaxy SII and SIII), but are not exactly the same problem. So i decided to create a new thread.
Hmm,post your phone exact model/country/carrier etc.Then someone can tell you which firmware you need.
I would say go back to 4.0.3,but thats cos I think 4.0.4 is total crap.
Here is the info: (I will update the first post too)

I will use Odin to reflash my firmware.
Hope it solves the problem.
I will post here the results.
Did you ever figure it out? I am experiencing the same issue.
Unfortunately, I had to reflash my firmware.

Hi everyone,
I need to get myself an official Hi3G Denmark branded firmware for my Galaxy S2 GT-I9100.
Reason: I just got phone out of repair and wanted to Root it and flash a custom ROM. After I rooted it, KIES could not recognize my firmware and did not offer any more updates for my phone. Plus, I could not back it up any more.
I think it has something to do with me flashing custom kernels and firmware to it.
Noob as I am, I did not backup my clean phone with CWM and have been since searching for an original firmware.
I have been searching XDA/Google up and down and flashed various firmwares, branded and unbranded, odexed/deodex and what not, to no avail...
Now I am running a firmware with which almost everything is working, except KIES update and backup (well, as far as I noticed).

Thanks for the suggestion. Still No go. All core processes stop after flashing the new firmware i.e. acore, messaging, softwareupdate, etc.
and KIES does not even recognize my phone.
Still looking for the right firmware... The same that would have been pushed through KIES.
Aynone?

Issue SOLVED by deleting all sync accounts and re-adding them.
Hi
I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction as i'm at the end of my tether.
I have the bog standard S3 GT-i9300 Nordic (purchased in Sweden)
Trying to flash back to stock firmware I downloaded the I9300XXBLH3_I9300NEEBLH2_I9300XXLH1_HOME.tar.md5 firmware (4.0.4) Downloaded from Sammobile
Flashed with odin
Restart loop - so I went into recovery mode, cleared cache and reset, restarted fine....
Upon restart phone downloads firmware update.... Updates
The in settings - about device i have Android version 4.1.1 - Baseband version I9300XXDLID Build number JRO03c.I9300XXDLJ2 (French??)
Kernal version 3.0.31 -319653
[email protected]#1
SMP PREEMT Thu Oct 11 23:43:16 KST 2012
Although this firmware lets me use my Telia Sim card it will not let me use my 02 simcard - Now I know the phone was originaly unbranded & unlocked
I then went into Kies and restored there, entering the phones serial number etc.
The phone was then updated to 4.1.2 (Russia) I9300XXELL4
I have no idea what I have done for the phone not to restore back to stock official Nordic firmware that is unlocked.....
Any help is very much gratefully received.

Hi everyone,
after getting my phone from repair (battery was blinking). I have successfully rooted my phone with CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5 and discovered the INSANE CHIP and SW:
Vers: 4.0.4
baseband: I9100BULP8
Kernel version 3.0.15-I9100XXLPQ-CL223505 [email protected] #3 SMP PREEMPT Fri Mar 9 02:19:25 KST 2012
Build: IMM76D.BULPG
As the device was upgraded to that version, I cannot send it rooted to repairs again because the camera doesn`t work. So and because f the Insane chip a cannot upgrade it to 4.0.4. What to do? Any ideas?
Thanks

Well the first of all, try flashing a different kernel, I've experienced the camera problem before, but after flashing Siyah kernel the problem was fixed for me, you can also try any other kernel and see what works for you. If it doesn't work, let me know and we can try other ways of fixing the problem.
I did what you sugested, but because of the INSANE chip i really don`t want to mess around a lot. So I flashed Siyah kernel and the SII doesn`t start up, but i can still come to Volume Up or Volume Down screen. All I know, that I cannot flash with original rom 4.0.4 because than will destroy the phone - wipe everything of it.
will that do the trick? LINK searching for XXLPQ
iflashed with original kernel, and the S2 woke up, but the problem still exists.
How can i find the same rom on sammobile? I did searched my operator but it is not listed there. I listed also the french ones and spanish ones and none of them is the same as mine.

If muppets like you want help include your country/or the original software version that came with the phone/the carrier you use etc.How can you expect anyone to link you up with software when you post what your on now.
Samsung can quite easily knock back your warranty if they find a rom that is not meant for the phone your sending them.They can look for signs of tinkering etc.

As I wrote in the first post
Vers: 4.0.4
baseband: I9100BULP8
Kernel version 3.0.15-I9100XXLPQ-CL223505 [email protected] #3 SMP PREEMPT Fri Mar 9 02:19:25 KST 2012
Build: IMM76D.BULPG
and I don`t find that specific one for my country.
COUNTRY: Slovenia
CARRIER: Vodafon (Si.mobil)
Before i have send it to warranty repair of usb connector, it had 4.0.3 (I9100BULPG_I9100SIMLP6_SIM) as it was updated via Kies. So it was updated at service, with something I cannot find.
If any more information is needed, PLEASE write it down, I will look after.
Thank you

Ok, you know what, just flash stock firmware...anyone will do. Then root your device and install triangle away, wipe your binary counter and the re-flash stock firmware and delete any root files/apps you might have. That deletes all evidence that you might have rooted your device and then send it for repairs. If you don't want to, just hard brick it and they will replace it for you, providing you still have warranty?
Hello!
I have currently been researching on how to reflash my Galaxy S2 back to Gingerbread to fix a battery problem due to overload.
I have everything backed up, and Odin installed on my PC.
Could anyone more experienced than me help me choose the right firmware to my phone, just to be on the safe side.
My settings:
GT-I9100
Android: 4.1.2
Baseband: I9100XXMS4
Version: 3.0.31-1418025 [email protected] #3 SMP PREEMPT Wed Sep 25 19:29:28 KST 2013
Compile nr: JZO54K.I9100XWMS1
Feel free to tell me if this post is in the wrong place, as I am a new user.
Go to Samfirmware, choose a firmware for your country/carrier. If Samfirmware doesn't have what you need, try AndroidFirmwares.net & Samsung-updates.com. If they don't have what you need, you're probably out of luck. GB stock firmwares can be a bit hard to find these days.
Hello,
I've bought Korean Samsung Galaxy Note (KT version- SHV-E160K.
It has JB 4.2.1, rooted (already had SuperSu). It also has setting and apps from KT and some Illegal stuff.
I don't know if for example the seller didn't install some custom ROM, or he rooted this to unlock the phone (I live in Poland).
The *#1234# shows:
PDA: N7000ZSLO2
PHONE: E160SKSJLL7
MOVINAND NONE
Build Info: Wed Feb 13 16:58:41 KST 2013
However something What is "KT hidden menu" (you access it after dialing 319712358 and typing password 774632) shows a lot of Korean pre-sets and as for system:
H/W: E16.10
BOOT: E160KKKJMB1
PDA: N7000ZSLO2
PHONE: E160SKSJLL7
And the device info from settings givs us this KERNEL:
3.0.31-704944
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT Wed Feb 13 16:51:33 KST 2013
Now getting to the problem(s):
- can't login, or even open or install anything from Samsung.
- can't install any SD card (doesn't see it);
- can't connect to KIES;
- very quiet microphone (callers feedback).
What can I do?
I've already hard reset the phone, reintaled ps drivers, downloaded korean drivers, etc.
HELP PLS!

You could try flashing a stock firmware through Odin, seems you have not done that yet. You can search for stock firmware and guides on how to flash through Odin in XDA or other sites.

I did read a lot of posts online regarding the SHV-E160K and flashing new ROM to this one could be very unpredictable.
I also can't find any recovery that is suitable for MB1 or LL7 (to be honest I am still confused which i should look for).
On Korean samsung site there is only a upgreade file from Gingerbread to JB. I can't find anything on sammobile or elsewhere.
I just want to have Samsung stuff (like s-pen, link, etc.) and to have a functional network PC-PHONE-TV (all samsung).
Any hints?

A stock ROM is your best bet mate. Because the device you may have might be tinkered with, that is why you are experiencing weird bugs. I would try just looking for a file name for a JB firmware even with a dead link, and 'Google' it. I usually find those firmwares in 4shared.
