have you gone to recovery and wiped data?
or find a firmware which wipes the data off the phone, i think the KL1 firmware does this.
buddy i cant get into clock work or any other sort of recovery as my home button does not work
can you link me to the correct firmware
would be appreciated xmas good will
you can find the original kernels and firmwares here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
search and subscriptions are a handy thing to have. Merry x-mas, hope you get to unbrick your phone!
cheers guy ive been to that site you have linked but still no avail when flashing the stock orange uk ones for my phone will take your advice nex and look for a kl1 to wipe the date
it really doesnt matter which one you flash, just flash the one which wipes your device completely and then flash back to the firmware of your manufacturer.
do you know any of the top of your head which flash them phone whole???
Please read the whole guide that is in the link and then use one of the firmwares that include "This firmware will wipe your device!" warning... for example DXKG3.
heres the firmware and files im using
if you're from UK use this KI3 Wipe firmware http://www.multiupload.com/NJV6PR87Y3
it should do a wipe therefore making you're phone bootable. go back into download mode and install speedmod kernel, which would also root your phone automatically. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182498 ( flash speedmod-kernel-s2-k2-18-Odin.tar in odin).
use something like ROM manager to get into recovery mode and install VillanROM http://www.villainrom.co.uk/SGS2/VR3.0beta.php and a kernel of your choice and away you go
Hey, Sorry if this has been discussed (I've found other threads but none that have through information)
Anyways, I've got a small hairline crack in my screen so I'm going to use my warranty to swap it. I need to return to stock bell firmware. I've flashed a bell firmware (with odin) and it got rid of my clockwork recovery, now comes the issue. In download mode it still reads odin mode at the top, and kies is unable to read the device anymore.
Is there way I can return to complete stock so that
- Kies can read my phone completely like it used to
- Download mode doesnt say odin at the top
- Flash count gets reset
- Complete bell stock firmware.
Thank you all!
buy a usb jig

agree with post above. cheap (< $3). easy (< 5 minutes).
A jig is your best bet. Not a quick fix but the only fix.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Sounds good, thanks. Might try without doing the jig first. if they dont let me then i'll jit it. Sort of in a hurry Screen is turning purple and the touch screen is sort of touch and go now...!!! thanks!

Hi guys,
as you know some days ago, Samsung has leaked their SGS2 ICS firmware, which I learnt on sammobile.com.
In their article, was a tutorial to install it, so I did.
I tried it a bit, but have been desapointed, so I decided to flash back to MIUI.
Thus I first flash another kernel, but here my trouble start.
Long story short, if I don't use the leaked, buggy firmware, I have a "Kernel panic - upload mode" and Kies does not recognize my phone to flash it back to stock.
I figured out that in the tutorial I have been told to change some file I've never flashed (like the pit, the modem and I think the CSC). Files that I don't know anything about. So I thought that those files weren't compatible with previous kernel etc. but as I don't know much, I can't be sure...
So I am know with a very buggy phone (for instance, I cannot be phoned, but I can phone to people) or a kernel panic. Help please :/
By the way, if someone could explain the meaning of those files, it would be cool, not to do the same mistake again.
And as I think : in all the tutorials using ODIN, it's said the I must not check "re-partition", what is it about ?
Thanks, and sorry for my poor English
Some updates here.
I thought yesterday, as there were those files (.pit, csc and stuff) in the downloaded archive on sammobile to flash leaked ICS, there were in the others firmware too, and I was right.
So this morning I flashed back to official 2.3.6 and it worked well. Then I flashed to xcell kernel (for Miui) and tried to flash MIUI 2.1.6. The kernel flash worked, as I rebooted normally but after flashing MIUI, another kernel panic :/
Did you wipe before flashing MIUI?
I did it after flashing, but still before rebooting.
Is that a mistake ?
If you wipe after flashing then your phone won't even boot.
So I think you did not wipe at all.
Yes I did, and I tried once again just now, wipping before flashing, but after the Samsung GS2 logo, still the kernel panic screen.

Where can I find the correct stock firmware ?
I'm kinda lost with all the versions and stuff.
And when flashing, I would like to know what I do, but noone, nowhere, explains what we do, just "do that stuff and it will be good".

You shouldd stop flashing and start READING THE BASICS you are flashing test roms from complete ignorance .
Stock firmware here you should know what your firmware is .

Ok, I admit it, I was dumb doing it :-/
So now I am under stock both kernel and rom (2.3.5) and Kies says that there is an update but my phone isn't ok to do it, but that is not what I want.
I wanted to reset my phone through Kies to be sure all would be set to stock, but now Kies doesn't let me do it, there is no option to do it.
I think that the rom, even if official, is not good for my phone.
On the topic you linked, I choosed XXKI4 (France, if I understood well) for the rom.
Kies says my version is "I9100XWKJ2/I9100XEFKJ1/I9100XXKI4/I9100XWKJ2".
And my phone says :
- Banseband : I9100XXKI4
- Kernel : 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKI4-CL611039 [email protected] #2
- Version number : GINGERBREAD.XWKJ2.
Is that all ok ?
What I would like to do is flashing MIUI 2.1.6, so is it good to do it now ?
Make sure you have flashed back the old bootloaders, see this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21146446&postcount=2
Ok so I flashed an old bootloader then a custom kernel and to finish the latest MIUI and everything went well !
Thank you, guys !
I'm hoping someone can tell me the exact filenames of the rom and or kernel I need to restore my Galaxy S2 to stock rom for O2 UK.
I've tried various UK ones from this thread and flashed using Odin. But all that happens is a boot loop everytime. The recent one I tried was I9100XWKE1_I9100XXKDJ_I9100O2UKE1_HOME.tar
but as mentioned, all I get is a boot loop.
Can anyone assist?
It shouldn't matter which O2 rom you use. Only you're going to know exactly what firmware was on your phone when you bought it, but again, that's not important.
Frankly, if it were me, I'd get the latest stock firmware available for phone model/country/carrier with the PC version of Checkfus (search for it on here/Google) & do it that way. Just my 3 shekels worth.
But before you go down that path, have you tried a factory reset ? If you have & it didn't fix the bootloop, then the Checkfus route is worth considering. You get one file which you flash in PDA section of Odin & done.
Thanks for that. I tried the software and downloaded the exact rom to use for my country and network. I flashed it in Odin but again, it sticks at the boot logo. Not so much of a boot loop but just stays on the animated S logo.
O2 UK simple KDD was the first one posted in the branded provider roms thread .
But why not use your original saved firmware ??? or at least search for that one as non but you knows for sure what it was .

I'm stunned.
All these roms I tried and the whole issue was not wiping cache etc. Now I've done it, seems to be working. Finger crossed. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Nothing is wrong with your rom, what you do now is put it in download mode, flash cf-root, go into cwm, wipe factory,cache, and dalvik cache, then turn on device leave it for at least 12 mins (sometimes it just boot loops for awhile and works, it happened to me before, after it happens once it wont happen ever again), for more info read my signature, cf-root is labeled chainfire
Hello,
My S2 encounter big problems , ie it constantly freeze and reboot , sometimes it gets stuck on the samsung logo.
For the early history I was CM 10 and overnight I had the symptom of reboot, I decided to return to stock "clean" rom, so i flash :
1 ) KI3 rom ( rom wipe)
2 ) KK5
3) LPG
In addition I bought a new battery thinking about a hardware problem. I stayed on LPG a few weeks without too much trouble and this is the drama for a few days, returning reboot and freeze , unable to use the phone. ..
So, I came back to KI3 original but i have a lot of screen freeze and reboot. I tried to do a wipe data + cache with the samsung recovery but it does not change anything...
Someone can help me to save my S2 ?
thank you very much !

Thanks coach83, i just try with I9100XWLS8 one package ROM, flash with ODIN is ok but the Galaxy S2
freezing on the boot at first configuration with Android logo.
Some have an idea ? I have read a lot of xda topics to reset phone but nothing seems to be working
Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread. Find it. Try the stuff in that thread & you should end up with a successful flash (doesn't matter that it was essentially written for the I9100 - the I9100P is the same difference + NFC).
Thanks MistahBungle but flash with ODIN works for me, i have the green message "pass" so i don't think Hopper8 will solve my problem...
Your phone is bootlooping after the flash, which means it hasn't been successful regardless of whether Odin shows pass or not. Find his thread, read it, try the stuff in it. In particular try flashing a 3 part firmware which will wipe the phone, this will likely remove any remnants of whatever you had on the phone previously which is probably causing the bootloop after you flash.
This might also be one of those cases where perseverance fixes things; sometimes you can try 10 flashes which all seem to pass, yet the phone won't boot normally - you try the 11th (as an example) & for whatever reason it works. Try a 3 part firmware, then everything else in his thread until it works. There are no magic fixes here.
Ok i will try. When you say "try flashing a 3 part firmware" did you mean with pda, phone and csc file ? Because i have try this too with KI3 rom...
Yes, that's what I meant. Try it again then with a different stock rom, and as many others as you need to. There's only one way to fix it, and experience on here over the past two years shows persistence is the key. Unless you'd rather take it to a service centre & explain how the phone got into the state it's currently in & pay them to fix it ?
Nop
Ok so new USB cable, new USB port, new stock ROM and flash again and again is my program for today
Edit : According to you, do i try with pit file or not ?
