Don't use Kies, use Odin, it's far less temperamental. Just download th XWKE2 firmware from samfirmware.com and flash in the PDA section of Odin

Wow, that's a hell of a long time, leave it to download overnight? Mine took a while but only because it's a big file and it certainly didn't take a day! I'm sorry I don't know anywhere else to get stock firmware from apart from Samfirmware.com and the god awful Kies...
Its not posted on here by any chance using a different upload service .

I have installed an unsecure kernel in my galaxy s2 (GT I9100G) but since I cannot find the original stock kernel, I wanted to roll back to the stock android version that came with s2 and thus wanted to know how could I re-install the firmware from KIES.
Thanks

You need to reflash stock using ODIN before you can use kies, as Kies doesn't recognise custom kernels.

Will reflashing bring back the stock kernel and make the phone unrooted in short make it the way Samsung sold it to me?
Also, I am using Galaxy S2 I9100G build number GINGERBREAD.XWKJ2 and for it only 1 unsecured kernel was available at this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327509
I rooted my phone without any problem but since there's no way to get back the stock kernel, I am afraid that if need be, how am I gonna claim warranty for my device.

Yes aslong as you flash the firmware that came with it t will be like as samsung sold it. Have a look at intratech's thread he may just have the kernel if you still have the original firmware on it already.

Yes, I do have the original firmware on it. Didn't have enough guts to play with custom ROM :/
I did check intratech's thread and found stock kernel for XWKJ2 but the thread titles says "Official i9100 Firmwares" whereas my phone shows i9100G. I guess this won't work.
And, when flashing to original firmware, will the kernel's be replaced to the original one's as well?
Thanks for suck quick replies Am just a n00b diving into Android
You can extract the original kernel yourself if you want it http://www.hotfile.com/dl/136857418/c144909/I9100GXWKJ2_I9100GODDKJ2_INU.zip.html

Downloaded it. Now what do I do? Flash s2 with this, backup using titanium, root device and then use the stock to get rid of yellow triangle? Am I missing anything?
Thanks for your help
BTW, is there a way to get the latest available firmware in my country/region via KIES so that I can be 100% sure of being in right place
i cant post the link right now but you can google

and go the the dialandroid website they have a way to make it like original again
Hey guys.
im currently about to sell my gtab, and im trying to get it bk to stock unrooted.
now, i tried to install the latest UK firmware, which is: P7510XXKL2 and i downloaded it through sammobile and flashed through odin, but every time i tried to flash it through odin i got bootloop.
So in the end i downloaded :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412601 and flashed that. But now i want to unroot it... is that possible, if so, what should i do?
thanks
Adam.
Use Supersu app from play store. There is an unrooting guide somewhere here also. Search!! And don't post questions here! (in no way am I a moderator, but the rules clearly state: questions to Q and A)

Any stockrom flash with PC odin will bring it back to a fresh Unrooted TAB..
Download the rom again, maybe it is damaged?

oh, that is no biggey. once you are done flashing, get into recovery mode and do a factory data reset. that should fix the issues. how ever, make sure that you have got a SUCCESSFUL flash with odin and no corrupted files. if that is the case, do a fresh download from samfirmware.
You have to first repartition your Tab besides flashing the stock Rom....

Hi (sorry for my bad english),
I've a P7100 10.1v with ICS 4.0.4 and I've deleted many app (3G, telephon, ...) with Titanium Backup.
Now, I regret but I can't revese my action (I don't make backup).
Is it possible to make an automatic upgrade with the same (but complete) version ?
Can you help me ?
Thank you
Help please :crying:
Up
You can install stock 3.2.1 (you'll find it at sammobile.com) via Odin-3, then connect tab to wifi and upgrade it to 4.0.4 via OTA and you'll recieve what you need.
Don't forget make backup before this.
Hi romanych74, thank you for your answer.
If I reflash my tab to 3.2.1, lose I the root ?
If yes, do you think I first must unroot or first accept upgarde 4.0.4 and after unroot ?
Thank you

Hi Romany, would you mind sharing the steps you used please?
I am not having success with either Odin or fastboot.
I get 3.2.1 installed (from sammobile.com) but it won't upgrade to 4.0.4 and I think it is because the kernel is still 3.26.3 ...
Any help appreciated.
Hi,
First, sorry romanych74 for this very late answer !
At this time, I don't yet try the donwngrade to 3.2.1.
And the Gary's message afraid me... do you thinks the Kernel stop OTA ?
Chance or not : the kernel of my tablet is 3.1.10
Is this possible to force OTA upgrade ?
Thank you for your help.

Gary found out that the problem was the modem (not the kernel), for some reason if you have flashed the modem from 7500, it wont accept OTAs (also for some reason the thread has been deleted or i can find it).
So if you have flashed the p7500 modem (as its usual procedure now), you need to revert to the modem from P7100BUKE2 (the P7100BULB4 package does not contain the modem image) AND you need to revert to the stock recovery to do the update OTA.
You will then have the stock 4.0.4, without root; you may wanna try this method (not tried myself), to recover the root.

Hi!
My kernel's version is 3.1.10.
Baseband version is still P7100BULG3. I've not flashed P7500 modem - i did not need this.
Now i have JB 4.2.1 (nightly by 25-01-2013) and everything works.

Hello pruano, thank you for your reply.
No, I don't have flashed to p7500.
Are you sure this method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386545) is safe and sure for 10.1v (P7100) ?
This is only for root the tab after new OTA flash to 4.0.4 ?

Like i said in the post, havent tried it myself, but from what i could gather, its safe, and to be applied after upgrade to 4.0.4.
If you prefer a longer but confirmed route, just use the old method and afterwards flash the stock recovery before trying to get the update OTA (the skitzandroid-recovery does not handle OTAs).

Hi,
I must explain why I will retreive the original ROM 4.0.4 : I made a mistake because I delete the "phone software" (= modem ???) with Titanium Pro.
Now, I just reflash the ROM 3.2.1 with Odin and all is alright.
After reboot, YES ! Upgrade via OTA -> 4.0.4
But the problem still there
No phone :crying:
If I put my sim card in the tab, I must enter my code... and I don't find the phone, I can't enable 3G.
Why ?
Do you think I have delete the modem with Titanium ?
And the complete flash to 3.2.1 and after the OTA upgrade to 4.0.4 don't instal a new modem ?
Thank you for your help

Do you mean you cant use data communications through 3G (did you do the OTA through Wifi?) or do you mean use of phone functionality like SMS/MMS and phone calls?
If the former, check the settings to see if Mobile data is enabled (and turn Wifi off to confim); if the tablet is asking for the pin, it definitely finds the SIM. If nothing above works, reflash the modem (just the modem) from P7100BUKE2 with Odin.
If the later, the tablet has no support for it in any stock release; there are some hacks to enable some functionality, but that goes WAY beyond what you ask in the thread and i cannot help you there, its better you create a new thread for it, as what you asked for was accomplished.
Hi,
Thank you pruano.
The OTA upgrade is completed via wifi.
After reboot, I put a SIM card and the tab ask pincode.
But I don't find the little blue phone (icon), I don't find SMS...
And when I shut off the wifi, I try to connect 3G but nothing.
Exactly the same problem with 3.2.1 (before upgrade)... it don't find phone, sms, etc...
Sorry for this question but, where can I find this modem you say (only modem) ?
For flash it with Odin, with witch button may I use ? PDA or PHONE ?
Thank you

You may want to check with another SIM, as the one you are using may be defective (try it on your phone, for example).
Either that, or you have the configurations wrong. What is your operator? I remember seeing a thread around here where the APN for Vodafone was incorrect and needed to be changed.
Also try to see if the table picks any network, by going to settings-> More... -> Mobile networks -> Mobile operators (or something) and trying do a scan of the networks available.

You can get it from here (requires registering). The 3.2.1 release package does not come with a modem, only the 3.0.1 P7100BUKE2 (which will work on any release above it). As for Odin, only use the PHONE field and the MODEM....tar.md5 file

Then you must have, at some point, flashed a modem firmware from another device; why it worked before, its most likely due to a custom ROM you had installed and stopped working with the stock versions.
Just for the record, did you follow this procedure to gain root back?
I hope somebody can help. I would like to know if anyone has a stock Android 4.1.2 XXEMG4 ROM for download? That is already rooted to flash.
I would like this to be able to go back to stock purely to have the choice and without having to re-root or losing modem efs and the imei.
Is it possible? Has Anyone done it? I am a bit new to the phone, but any insight appreciated.

Stock rom of your choice and root and recovery via PhilZ recovery is the simple answer.

thank you all for quick responses. I would like more info on JJEgan reply if i may. It sounds too easy.
1. Basically i restore stock formware and load up
2. Install PhilZ Touch recovery the way its explained.
3. Install Root_SuperSU.0.98.Only-signed.zip via recovery
and its all safe and done and rooted with recovery.
Is that right? Then edf imei etc all safe?:victory:

No idea what you want super su usual method would be from Play store .
EFS if you are rooted now then back it up now if not after step 2 above .
edf imei etc all safe>>>> safe not 100% nothing is 100%
The rom you link to is not stock as its added.
All apps fully Deodexed
Rooted with SuperSU
Fully Zipaligned
BusyBoxed
Insecure Kernel
init.d support
Updated Adfree Hosts
As said MG4 onwards changes EFS layout this means that you dont flash an earlier rom or modem .

Ok guys here's the deal, last year I rooted my friend's s3 (international, india, i9300) because there was no available update to android, so I flashed purelook HD 8.0 (android version 4.1.2), now he is saying that his phone has become very slow so he wants to go back to stock
so I downloaded "INU-I9300XWUGML4-20140107141249.zip" but after downloading this I saw that it is for android 4.3 (new official update).
So my question is should I directly flash this in ODIN (android 4.3) or I should download older official update before flashing new update?
If it's a full, multi part stock rom then it wouldn't be a zip. Odin can't flash zips.
Suggest you read the basics in general forum, sticky threads, before you do anything else.

yeah I know odin doesn't flash zip's, I quoted the file name just for reference as there were two firmwares updates available for india, one INS another INU on doing some searches I came to know that they are locked and unlocked updates, kinda same, you can download any one.
is there any number I should match before downloading...we do not have contract phones in india, just retail so I was confused therefore I downloaded the unlocked one
back to the point, I know that I have to extract it first, there is a file inside it, named "I9300XWUGML4_I9300ODDGML4_I9300DDUGMK1_HOME.tar.md5"
so maybe now you can help me out, whether should I flash it or download an earlier version and flash it prior to flashing this one...
So my question is should I directly flash this in ODIN (android 4.3) or I should download older official update before flashing new update?
Its your choice but as said read and understand the basics first .

Well I know how to flash roms/firmwares via ODIN, I know I have to check my counter too if it is not zero than I will have to reset it
so is there anything else?
I'm just asking this because I don't know much about s3 but I had note and I remember it had some issues regarding upgrading to a ice-cream sandwich version, something related to 'safe kernel' many other things...
and even I tried searching for basics, I didn't find anything else other than this and if there is something I am still missing then please kindly link me to it or just answer the question, IS IT SAFE or not?
