Have rooted S2 with custom ROM. Want to go stock. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I am selling my S2, and would like to a) get rid of the triangle, and b) go back to a stock rom. Is this a simple process, and maybe there's a guide?
I am downloading I9100XWLPW_I9100XSALP6_XSA.zip | 695.6 MB – is that an OK file?
I am also downloading GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWLP7_I9100XXLPS_I9100XEUPL5.7z
Which would be better?
I'm in Australia, but it was a UK sourced, unlocked phone to begin with.

extract and flash using Odin 1900XWLP7 rom to go back to stock and then use trianle away which could be found in this forum to reset the counter.
after flashing and using triangle away, do not forget to go recovery and wipe the cache, go to advance and wipe daavik cache and do a factory reset to remove all personal information and apps.
thread for triangle away.

LOL if you flash official firmware you wont get triangle RTFM.
Flash XWLP7, turn on phone, in phone *2767*3855# and profit.
You need to flash PDA, PHONE, CSC your data will reset automatically.

I am rid of triangle, thanks to dongle method. Now, to find out where to get XWLP7 from...
Or is that "GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWLP7_I9100XXLPS_I9100XEUPL5.7z" that I have already downloaded?
I am going to us Mobile Odin, which I think takes the full package (Modem.. etc)

You will lose your triangle if you flash stock.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

Thanks. Triangle is gone now...
Just trying to find right package.
Is GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWLP7_I9100XXLPS_I9100XEUPL5.7z the right thing? Would that contain kernel, modem etc?
In there is a tar.md5 file, which has a whole lot of files.

U said u had your phone from UK original , which provider ? Vodafone / Orange / T-Mobile / O2 / H3G
Then i can recomand u the latest firmware to flash to it so u return it as "pure stock"

I bought it from Handtek, so.. not sure what it had. Was shipped to Australia and has been working on the Telstra network. And it's being sold in Australia.

Ok then u will need :
Product Code: GT-I9100LKJXSA
Latest firmware: I9100XWLPW/I9100XSALP6/I9100XXLQ6/I9100XWLPW
Modified: 9/3/2012 5:32:31 PM
Filename: GT-I9100_XSA_1_20120903173205_4qpiu8bio8.zip.enc2
Or if the new client will have Optus
Product Code: GT-I9100LKJOPS
Latest firmware: I9100XWLPW/I9100OPSLP6/I9100XXLQ6/I9100XWLPW
Modified: 8/31/2012 11:44:48 PM
Filename: GT-I9100_OPS_1_20120831234422_hzan6jkrf4.zip.enc2
Let me know if u need the files i can upload them for u , or u can go to http://fus.nanzen.se/ and download Check Fus Downloader 2.1. and download the file for yourself directly from Samsung`s servers

Would be great if you send me a link to them...
What is a enc2 extension?
Isn't it tar?
Sounds like GT-I9100LKJXSA is best if it's unbranded. Allowing the buyer to have bloat free and unlocked phone.
Edit: Actually, found a link here:
http://www.droidevelopers.com/f364/...gt-i9100-4-0-4-ice-cream-sandwich-update.html
Will grab.

If you have flashed an unbranded stock firmware could you explain the steps you took to flash it like what file you used and a detailed step by step?

[Q] Roms and all tha Jazz

Hello,
i would like some guidance on the rooting side of things. with every page i read im getting more and more confused.
i have installed/flashed litening rom.
ive used the sim unlock tool to unlock my phone.
im confused on all of the unsecure and secure stuff.
i would like my phone back to how i had it when i bought it, without the root access etc.
am i right in thinking that i would need the latest stock secure kernal which i would flash in exactly the same way as i flashed litening? or am i getting the wrong end of the stick.
or would i have to flash the specific three firmware (im not bothered about having all the three stuff on it but if i have to then so be it)
You need to follow Chainfire thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Don't get too much confused, its simple.
BTW- Aren't you already rooted as you are on Litening ROM!

I would love to unlock my wife's S2 for her but want to know how to get it back to stock after.

If you want to get it back to stock "back to how it was when I bought it", don't use any KG firmware unless you're from Poland or Brazil - IIRC, they're the only 2 areas that KG firmware is "official", i.e., flashable via Kies.
Sounds like you'll need a KF firmware. If you can't remember what your firmware originally was, try this:
http://fus.nanzen.se/
- will also tell you your latest available official update.
KG and KH 2.3.4
Rest is 2.3.3
Edit - see you've got KF3 - for your scenario, 99% sure it's the right choice.
ok so ive downloaded that one, it was a self extracting.exe file
i now have a tar file.
do i use odin again and put this tar in the pda part?
Anyone??

[Q] Galaxy S II Firmware Upgrade 2.3.4 Help!

I have been researching the net on this and the posts in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278.
I haven't been able to post in there as I am a new user, but if someone can help me with this, it would be great.
I'm trying to upgrade my firmware to XXKH3 - Android 2.3.4.
My current version is:
PDA: I91000XWKE7
PHONE: I9100XXKE4
CSC: I9100OPSKE4
My Galaxy S II is rooted and it's on the OPTUS network in Australia.
My question is, how should I go about it?
Do I download the XXKH3 Stock Kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/C4DRUIJTLL and place that in PDA and PHONE in Odin?
And for CSC do I get this: Optus OPSKG1 CSC: http://www.multiupload.com/EPWZTIMS1F and place it in CSC?
I want to be able to use the OPTUS network on XXKH3, but without OPTUS bloatware. I'm just not sure which files to get so I can be with OPTUS on an Australian firmware if that makes any sense.
My last question is, would this then wipe my data? Or not?
I appreciate any help on this.

you are referring to the right thread. clear instructions are given on that thread.
choose the PDA option.
CSC has nothing to do with what languages the firmware supports and it will not add keyboard language support either.
You don't have to change the kernel or root or unroot to flash a new stock firmware.
You can then flash the kernel of your choice.
If you want the CF-root KH3 kernel. refer this thread
If you want to flash stock KH3 kernel you can also do that.
as far as operator bloatware is concerned search for operator specific bloatware removal scripts which can be executed using Gscript app . or a simpler option would be to freeze or uninstall the bloatware apps using Titanium back up Pro.
Thank you for the fast reply.
So pretty much all I need to do is put the XXKH3 Stock Kernel in the PDA option and that's it. So the OPTUS network will not be affected correct?
Then root it and I'm done?
Thanks again!

Alright will do. Thanks for all your help guys!
let me know how you get on,am severely tempted to flash new firmware just for a change!
Hm. I just put XXKH3 Stock Kernel in PDA and flashed it but my phone still says Android 2.3.3. I used the CF-root KH3 kernel as well to root it again.
What do I need to do to get it to Android 2.3.4? Do I have to place it in PHONE as well?
The ROM is 2.3.4, just about any ROM in original development is. What you are trying to flash is kernel. Best of luck.

Er, Kernel is kernel and firmware is firmware. Flashing the kernel won't update the firmware, just the kernel.
Alright I think I understand now.
Downloading the package, which should do it and I guess the stock kernel is used to root/rid yourself of the yellow triangle.

It went well, the phone is working great.
My data didn't get wiped.
Follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278.
Download the XXKH3 package.
I also used Titanium to backup my apps just in case and MyBackup Pro for contacts etc. but haven't needed to use it.
After you flash that (if you want to root the phone) go to this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 and get CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KH3-v4.1-CWM4.zip. Put that in PDA and flash it.
To get rid of the yellow triangle, follow this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14283369&postcount=2.
That's it. Thanks for all your help guys!
ok so lets say I chose new stock firmware to avoid the triangle,then later wanted to be official,could i plug my phone into kies and updatd to official 2.3.4 without problems?
i would like to try oranges firmware without rooting the device and voiding my warranty!

[Q] Some questions about CSC

Hello xda-developers this it my first post, but it will be more and I will try to help you.
I have a SGS2, bought from Romania, but the CSC code is "XEF" which probably means that it was imported form France. Now I want to change my CSC in "HAT" or "COA" according to my country but I don't want to lose my warranty.
1) There is any method to do this?
2) If I will find the CSC files, flashing only this with Odin is possible and if yes I lose my warranty? I only flashed AIO or PDA,CSC,BOOT files in the mean time on my second phone,Samsung i5700, but never only one of those.
I tried with CSC Selector from Play and with Preconfig code, but my phone have no Multi-CSC, it have only "XEF".
My SGS2 informations:
PDA: I9100XWKJ2
PHONE: I9100XXKJ4
CSC I9100XEFKJ1
Thank you very much for your answers and sorry for my bad English
no need to change it unless you need something specific in that csc.

Just flash XWLP8 Frankenstein with Odin. Kies is a complete piece of crap. Uninstall it right now and just leave the samsung usb drivers.
The aforementioned package already includes everything you need... and it's official... and it's newer than the package you are planning to flash ; )

Go into settings->about phone and write down what you have now.
Worst case IF you ever really need to get warranty just flash this package...
End of story. The link I gave you gives you the newest official ICS rom, non-rooted. It doesn't increase the custom binary counter (that's how they check if you messed with your phone) and it is official. Just flash it.
Ok, I didn't know that I can put the phone into download mode and flash a new firmware without increase the counter, thx

The only thing that increases the counter is flashing specifically a kernel via Odin that is not signed by Samsung.
This is why flashing some ROMs won't necessarily increase the counter: If you flash a ROM that includes a kernel that is signed by Samsung, it will keep the counter at zero.

That kernel is posted just in case you need it, if you flash a custom or insecure kernel, and want to flash back to stock. If you don't flash a custom of insecure kernel, you won't need it. Wouldn't hurt you to download it anyways though, again, just in case you need it later.

You'll have to install CWM recovery to do this... which means flashing a kernel NOT signed by Samsung, which means increasing your counter.

Okay well I am going to download one from that thread link you gave me the one that says:
I9100XWLP7 Download (Thanks To SamMobile!)
Base Firmware: I9100XWLP7 (4.0.3)

Build Date: 3rd April 2012
Modem: XXLPS

Because it has no carrier it is XXLPS and XEU exactly what I have, THANKS!!! I hope this works I'll let you know after it downloads, unless you have a hotfile account I could use to download it instantly?

[Q] Back on factory firmware

Hi,
I am starting to developing on Android and i just got a used Galaxy S2 GT-9100 ( Canada ). This phone is rooted on an other firmware. I want to go back on the last official firmware in order to make Samsung Kies working. I really don't understand why when i look for official samsung firmware on google i finish on unknown blog ....
There is a way to get the last official Samsung Firmware ?
Thanks

Hello from me! My first post!!!
Well I was wandering how can I flash the sammobile dowloaded firmware with Odin3. I mean full flash so I can change the phone and CSC not only the pda. Because what I get from sammoblie is a one file bundle *.tar.md5 .
- Just in case, I recently bought from ebay a GT-9100 locked with T-Mobile and stocked with Gingerbread. I am not a customer of T-Mobile so I unlocked it and upgraded it to latest firmware 4.0.4
- The problem is the signal strength is very poor (but not always - sometimes, for about 10 minutes I might get full H+ and after that no signal (wtf)).
I am not sure whether it is a software or hardware fault and wanted to downgrade back to Gingerbread.
Any help is apreciated.

Any idea on the second part of my problem?
Plus, when I flashed Gingerbread I got stuck in set up wizard due to errors. And I was not able to factory reset the phone.
