Hello guys,
I have just bought myself a Samsung Galaxy S II from Komplett.no:
http://www.komplett.no/k/ki.aspx?sku=631205#extra
Product Number = GT-I9100LKANEE
I have been using a HTC Desire HD and wanted to get all my data from that phone to my new Galaxy S II. A friend of mine told me to root both phones and use Titanum Backup to backup all data from my HTC and restore it on my new Galaxy S II.
Before I begun I updated my firmware through the update button on my phone, then started rooting.
I rooted my Galaxy S II with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056334
Short summary: downloaded Odin3-v1.85 and XWKDD_insecure.tar. Set my phone to debugging mode, rebooted into download mode. Odin showed that is was connected. Pressed PDA button and selected the XWDD_insecure.tar file and pressed start. Phoen rebooted and it was rooted.
I got all my data restored from Titanum backup.
Then my phone started acting wierd. Suddenly no one could either call or send me sms. I had to reboot the phone several times to get it to work again. This was early starting to frustrate me and I started to google this problem and found no spesific solution.
I then started to wanting to reset my phone back to factory. Unroot my phone and reset all settings. I unrooted my phone again with SuperOneClick.
Then a new error started showing. I could not connect to any WLAN's. Tried resetting my phone to default several times without luck.
Then I started to look for the original firmware because now I want my phone back to normal as it was when I got it from the shop. I started to look for original firmware, thinking this would help. I have now tried severel firmwares (upgraded via Odin) but still having problems with WLAN and now also sometimes people can't call or send me sms.
This is really starting to get on my nerves And I REALLY wan't your help! I am a noob at this so maybe I have done something wrong?
I also get a message on KIES that the phone/firmware installed does not support updating. The firmware I now am using is as follow: I9100XWKI8/I9100XXKI2/I9100XXKI4/I9100XWKI8
Model number = GT-I9100
Android version: 2.3.5
Baseband version = I9100XXKI4
Kernel version = 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI8-CL616395 [email protected] #2
Build number = GINGERBREAD.XWKI8
PLEASE HELP ME reststoring/resetting my phone like it was before I opened the case it came in. I DONT want the phone rooted, I now just want it as normal as it can be. Original state.
First of all, what is your product code? The original should be on the box.
You can use that to search Intratech firmware thread. Flash via Odin and phone with USB debugging on and then connect to PC USB in download mode. Follow his flashing instructions and you should be fine.
Edit1: [ROM+Guide]Official i9100 Firmwares KG, KH1/2/3/4, KI1/2/3/4/8, KJ1/2/3 Download
Edit2: Use this website and use your prodict code to find your HIDSWVER; PDA / CSC/ Phone, then go to Intratech's thread and find the original firmware.Then flash.

Thank you so much! I will test that when I come home later tonight!
I'll let you know how it goes...
Doesnt really matter what your original firmware was. As lonf as your phone the European and not US or Korean or something like that, pick up the latest firmware and kernel from the intratech thread and flash both as per the instructions there and root it using chainfires insecure kernel.
That ought to do the trick. It will wipe out all your data btw.
I've just checked for you from the Product Code you supplied in your first post: GT-I9100LKANEE. If this is correct, you can flash the following firmware from Intratech's Thread. Use Odin (disable KIES) with the firmware button "PDA".

Yes, that's correct. But he was after to returning it to how it was out of the box. . So I spent a little time to help him with the way forward.
Ok, thank you! I have now done the following:
1) Set my phone to USB Debugging
2) Shut phone down
3) Connect it to USB on my PC
4) Started phone in Download Mode
5) Started ODIN (Run as Admin)
6) Clicked on PDA and browed to the file I downloaded (the file you mentioned over)
7) Clicked on START
8) Phone rebooted
Still having trouble connecting to WLAN and KIES is still telling me that it is not supporting upgrade!
This is the latest build for your product code, so there won't be any until released for that particular product code.
You could try flashing an earlier Android version for your product code?
Take a look at Intratech's Firmware Thread again. The very first Official Firmware XWKDD . This may be Android version 2.3.3 .......very old
You will have to flash the stock kernel separately after the firmware.

2nd Option: Root using Chainfire's CF-Root Kernel, with your latest installed firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Just flash his rooted stock kernel via Odin same as firmware. Done. Will give you root and a custom recovery CWM Recovery.
As wifi drivers are found in the kernel, you might like to try some custom kernels instead? Maybe you'll get better performance. You can flash custom kernels via CWM Recovery by placing on your sdcard and installing from zip from within recovery.
Edit: I believe this should be it?
XW_NEE_KI8: 2.3.5, CF-Root v4.3, SU 3.0.2, "insecure"

If you do decide to give a custom kernel a try. I would recommend siyahkernel v2.2

Thank you! That kernel seemed to be the right one for me Now I can connect to the WLAN.
But what exactly do I need to do If I any time need service on my phone? Just unroot it with SuperOneClick? If I wanna use the warranty on the phone. Just a question.
To return to stock, just flash your original "updated" firmware with Odin. This will also remove root.
To reset the binary flash counter and remove warning triangle (seen in download mode), search Ebay for "Samsung USB jig". It costs about $2 . Can also force the phone into download mode when phone is off, and if your phone is "soft" bricked. Well worth it, as I used it myself to return one SGS2 for warranty. You can make it too with old male micro USB plug and 301k ohm resistor.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
And my last question is, will I get the updates via the update in settings -> about? Or do I have to download the custom once from xda and flash my phone?
Actually can't 100% remember.
90% think no updates. You can just download official from Intratech thread, he updates almost as soon as they're available, and flash via Odin. You will loose root though, so make sure there is a compatible CF-Root Kernel first.
Alternatively, try a custom ROM and kernel such as in my signature. CheckROM 3.1.1 (KJ3) & siyahkernel v2.2 kernel (governor - Smartassv2 with SetCPU app) . Can be highly customized, only if you wish, or stock look.
Custom ROM's are regularly updated by developers to latest build.

I am still having trouble with my WLAN!
It worked great for a while, but suddenly it won't connect to WLAN's I have been connected to before Thought I had gotten a good working driver for my WLAN! The kernel is the same as when it worked.
Any tips and tricks?
Hello again......Not good my friend
What kernel are you running, stock our custom?
Have you tried re-flashing the kernel separately to any firmware?
Do you have root again?
Do you have any issues connecting to any other network router, our just one?
Does any other device have connection issues with that particular router?

I am using the following kernel:
XW_NEE_KI8: 2.3.5, CF-Root v4.3, SU 3.0.2, "insecure"
from this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...5&d=1318061076
Your second question is answered by the above answer that's a different kernel that did not come with the firmware.
Yes I have root
Yes, I have issues connecting to work and home router and there is nothing wrong with those since there are alot of other devices and computers connected to those WLAN's.
Just had a thought.....
Try setting up your connection to the router with router settings "broadcast SSID" name visible, keep other security enabled.
I had a similar problem where my HTC DHD would not connect to router after reboot, but would only connect with SSID (router name) visible.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I really don't think that will help anything. It has worked before I started rooting and flashing
Mate, all I can think of is for you to try a very good custom kernel. Maybe have modified our better wifi drivers.
One I can highly recommend is;
[KERNEL] SiyahKernel v2.3 - "One kernel to rule them all" (SAMMY&AOSP ROMs)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17583217
You can download for flash via Odin or CWM Recovery (from internal our external sdcard .zip)
Give it a try, sorry can't come up with anything else right now.

Hi,
When I used my own made Micro Usb JIG, to reset the binary count, i am getting download mode with the following texts on top,
FACTORY MODE (in red)
PRODUCT NAME: GT-i19100
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (2 COUNTS)
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
I have made the gig after properly checking the resistance and all, (100K X 3 serially soldered in to 4 & 5 pins)
I don't know why I am not getting odin mode instead of "factory mode" for resting the count and to appear the text in green "erasing download information succeeded"
I have not read any such experience of anybody yet, if somebody has, please share with any solutions ...
[[email protected]
you should not be getting into odin as it is an application no a mode that you need to connect your phone to.
If you have successfully used the jig you should be in download mode. I would check your jig again making sure that you have the right pins connected. The phone sees your jig but is not processing the information properly.
hey, can you post a picture of the Jig you made just to check it
Also, what firmware are you currently on? Newer bootloaders on official firmwares (2.3.5+) were patched so the jig doesn't work on them. You have to flash the old bootloaders to get the jig to work. See Intratech's official firmware thread.

Yes I am getting into download mode but with the "FACTORY MODE" connectable with odin through PC, I checked its added there, but my concern is to reset my binary counter, which I could not, if my pins of usb jig were incorrect I should not get the download mode. But what I watched in youtube is, as soon as Jig is conneced it should get downlad mode in ODIN MODE and saying in green text "erasing download information succeeded"

My current firmware is JPKJ2 routed by CF root v4.4, I managed to delete the yellow warning as directed by Chainfire in his thread, flash stock kernel through ODIN, and flash CF root kernal image from CWM application. now warnig desappeared and Current Binary showing Samsung official. but when I connect my Jig its is same FACTORY mode.....no reseting.
My phone is only one month old may be the new patched bootloder is the matter, Could you tell me how to flash old bootloader safely...
our concern is the reseting of the binary counter and the warrantee, if I flash a new bootloder it may reset counter but, can they identify the flashing of old bootloader.
thanks
did you flash the out bootloader

Bout halfway down the page in bold red text on this page you will find details of the old bootloader & a link to download same. Flash this in the PDA section of Odin & your jig should reset the flash counter.

I would be grateful if you could answer my these doubts too.
1) If Samsung release the ICS through KIES will I be able to receive update on my CF rooted firmware.
2) is the complete package coming in flashable MD5 file containing bootloder too?
3) do the roms coming in zip file CWM flashable include all Kernal, Radio etc...?
thanks
1) You should be able to get Kies upgrades if you're running a CFRoot kernel over stock firmware. Obviously if you put a non-stock rom on your phone, you'll need to re-flash/go back to stock if you want firmware upgrades via Kies. You can also use Checkfus (search on here for it if you ever need it) to check/download official firmware that's normally available via Kies if you can't use Kies for some reason.
2) Yes. Any roms you download in tar (with md5 hash attached) format normally contain bootloaders (the one's available in Intratech's threads do, for example).
3) That depends on the rom. Refer to the particular thread relating to the rom/or wherever you download it from if you don't get it from here with regard to what's included with the rom. But yes, normally, most roms are packaged with the rom itself, kernel & modem.

Hi all i got a question, ive got my sgs2 yesterday..
If im on an official rom 2.3.6, could i flash a kernel of Android 2.3.4 in order to get the jig to work ? Or is that impossible ?
Do i need to flash my whole device into 2.3.4 in order to get this to work ?

Noooo you need to flash the old bootloader not kernel.
Go check out intratechs official firmware thread. Start at 1st post and read down till you get to where he talks about the bootloader and provides a link to the bootloader.
Hope this helps.

Use Odin to flash speed mod kernel. Place it in the PDA and flash. You can download it from his thread here on xda. Just search Google.
Steps:
1. Download the kernel
2. Put phone in download mode (down volume, home and power)
3. Open Odin and click PDA and then find the speedmod kernel found here ( http://vln01.helochat.com/tourist/speedmod-kernel-s2-k2-21-Odin.tar )
4. Flash!!

Hi, I'm pretty new to this too.
Just wondering, I used "GT-I9100_XWKI8_insecure.tar" to flash my Galaxy SII, then s2root. I get superuser, but I can't find CWM.
Can I use this kernel you guys posted as well? Or is it for his specific phone?
I'm really having problems getting CWM, and I'm scared of trying stuff before getting a backup.
So if installing that kernel installs CWM as well, and works for my model too, then I'm going for it.
Thanks.

Its stuck on download mode, when i take the battery out it stays on samsung galaxy s2 boot writing , i flashed the I9100XXKI3 kernel to free me from the bricked page where it has a little yellow triangle with the phone and pc picture in the middle
looks too much mess up and you took wrong step in panic..
You should not have flashed a Kernel to get rid of bricked screen (phone!PC), you have to get download mod and falsh complete ROM that time...
you told your Running ROM was 2.3.6 but KI3 is an old version...

do you remember yout exact version of Current GB 2.3.6 version,
then try flashing stock kernel of the same version
more options to try
1)connect your USB cable to direct mother board USB socket,
2)try on onother PC

Try to use Heimdall. Maybe that works.
You say you dont have Kies. Download kies. Run it and it will install the drivers. Close Kies. Make sure its not running in the background. Install your original firmware that came with the phone using Odin. If your in download mode, your not bricked.

Guys, is there any chance of rooting the phone without flash with odin or from the mobile odin?
Serve unlock root for ICS 4.0.3?
From already thank you very much.
PS: Sorry for my English is not very good
Look at the PhilZ-CWM6 custom kernel. It can be flashed in stock recovery and includes SuperSU, root, ClockworkMod Recovery and Busybox.
It is pure stock based, and doesn't have MMC brickbug.
Thanks for responding! But there would be some way that only makes you root, without installing a modified kernel and without CWM? is that I want nothing more root access

This method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794 doesn't flash a custom kernel, but do include CWM. Why don't you want CWM?

You're wrong pal, using the first method will only root your phone, no cwm nor custom kernel. its a single file u flash through stock recovery that gives you root and busybox, nothing else.
Thanks friend! Now I see it, I do not set it up yet because there is no custom rom, just want root : D

Try flashing a custom kernel through Odin on your PC. Plenty of guides on here and Google. That way you can flash cm through recovery. Keep an eye out for the kernel bug related to 4.0.4. Again lots of documentation on that too.

Thanks and one more thing, Is there any risk of getting my phone bricked during rooting part only? I mean we are not installing a firmware so why would the phone get bricked!

There is ALWAYS a risk when doing anything to your device. The level of risk is down to what you are doing and what state the battery is in etc.
As long at the rooted kernel you are flashing is compatible with the current firmware then all SHOULD be fine.

ExynosExploit by chainfire can root it. Has got a dangerous tag attached to it tho.
Stuck in bootloop
Hi,
So, this is what happened
I have a galaxy SII gt-i9100, About 5 months ago I rooted it and installed the galaxy nexus update to android 4.0.4. and everything was ok except it wasn't showing me the option to transfer via blue tooth (but that didn't bother me much). These were the things I used
1. GT-I9100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_4.0.1.4
2. Odin3 v1.83
3. GT-I9100_XWKI8_insecure
4. GT-I9100_XWKI8_original
Now, yesterday I a friend had galaxy S II i9100P and he updated the firmware using kies and it had working blue tooth. I thought ok let's change it to that and my blue tooth might work also. I was at work and I (in a hurry) tried rooting it with only Odin. No backup, No Clockwork :laugh: nothing. ( and "Now it's stuck at the startup screen. I can go to download mode and recovery mode but it has samusg recovery not clockwork. I don't know what to do and in need of help. I'd really appreciate a quick response. (hoping to get atleast the mass data back )
These were the only 2 things used.
1. Odin3 v1.83
2. I9100JPLPH_I9100OJPLPF_PAK

ok, the galaxy nexus update? you mean Jelly Bean or Supernexus / chamaleon?
I think that you've installed a stock ROM over a custom ROM and that's why you are stucked at the logo.
read a little bit about flashing because you are up for it.
Learn about SD card data when flashing and follow a tutorial to flash stock ICS 4.0.3 via odin thru Download mode.
Also make sure to flash a safe kernel so you wont get the brick bug (see warning post sticked in the general section).
I don't know what to put here...any ideas?
fixed.Thanks
