hey! I have an s3, baseband xxdlid. Firstly, I rooted it but now when I try to do a software update it says that "Your device has been modified.." I believe that I need to put the phone back on stock. I've tried searching, but i can't find the stock firmware for this baseband. I also tried triangle away and that dint work either.
Any ideaS??

It showed "Your device has been modified" because you are on a custom kernel.. the status will return back to normal once you flash a stock ROM which can be found at sammobile.com using odin

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...

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
"How to goback/use Kies update after using ODIN,Rooting or Custom Firmware : Video Guide"
and go the the dialandroid website they have a way to make it like original again

Where did you get this other version? What is the file name?
The reason I ask: the version you used in your screenshot in post 1 is for an i9100G. You said you have an i9100.
Firmwares and kernels are not compatible between the i9100 and the i9100G. So if you are using another i9100G firmware, that is probably why it is failing.

I9100 never had this issue. You guys need to read carefully before spreading stuff not true.
Hi,
I have a problem. I did a factory data reset and and phone is not booting more than Samsung Galaxy S II i9100 screen after that phone shuts off. I can get to Download Mode and from here I need further directions what to do.
Thanks.

Search the forum for the answer this is a common problem. You will need Odin. Since you have bricked your phone install a custom Rom and Kernel. You will not go back to stock!!

What firmware was you using when this happened. You've sounds like it's recoverable. If download mode is all you can get your probably get best results by downloading official firmware from Sam firmware and extracting it then flashing the zip file in odin via PDA section. All the best.

I don't remember exactly my firmware but it was 4.0.3 and I haven't installed 4.0.4 but I did have CM10 just before I did restore from CWM and now I did factory data reset, this happened.
I prefer stock ROM, but I don't mind custom ROM either as long as I can get back to stock ROM

Flash a stock Rom via Odin. Wait till your phone boots up. Go back to Odin install a custom kernel (i recommend siyah kernel). Backup your stock Rom, then install a custom Rom. There is a lot of tutorials to tell you exactly how to do this process. If you need help at any point of this process just send me a message and I will give you a detailed walkthrough. You should be fine though!!
Goodluck

If you want stock then take your pick from stock firmware at samfirmware. Aviod the ones with the red warning triangles, risk of brick bug!

How about from the intratech's thread? And is the Odin flash failing risk big with the situation I have right now?
I've used odin A LOT and never had a problem. I only ever use the PDA section and never touch anything else because I don't understand it. I can't comment on intratechs thread as I've never used his software. Any custom ROMs are normally flashed via CWM.

Hi all,
I want to be sure here for obvious reasons, i had a rooted s3 with custom rom/firmware, which i then used triangle, went back to stock and unrooted. However the firmware i installed isnt what i wanted, i read that the firmware with xx in it was for uk use but it seems to be primarily for israil as it has jewish as its default language and a jewish calender installed as default. So i have now downloaded which i hope is a tmobile uk firmware 19300xxella_i9300t from sammy. will i need to root again then install this with odin then reset counter then unroot and will this download cover the rom and firmware as im never to sure the firmware (screen entered when holding volume up, power button and middle button is now official stock. but not sure if this will allow me to install the official?
is theis file 19300xxella_i9300t the rom or firmware im now confused
You dont have to root to flash stock rom. You might need to reset your S3 though..

Just download the stock rom that you want (e.g. from sammobile.com) and flash it via Odin. Afterwards do a factory reset and you should be good to go. No root required.
Follow the flashing via Odin section of the guide

Firmware means the full firmware and operating system and modem.
Rom is just a word used to describe a firmware file .
Stock rom stock firmware the same .

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/galaxy-s2-...4-4-2-kitkat-via-omnirom-1433850#.UwJLn85A3iX
when flashed the rom restared the handset to flash the Gapps file it got stuck on the starting samsung screen. I attached the screen shot to this post.
I tried to take the battery out for 10 mins & put it back on its still stuck on this screen.
I am able to go to in download mood & its showing on Odin when connected the handset.
PLease kindly someone help me with it.
Regards,
Hash
will leave the battery out for long & see if it works !!!
Try going into recovery and formatting data? Can you get into recovery? If not flash stock with Odin and try again
At least if I can go back to stock ROM which is 4.1.2 at least Please help
Thanks allot for your respond. No I am not able to go into the recovery unfortunately. only can go into download mood
What do you want help with? Flashing with Odin? First go to Sammobile.com and get 4.1.2 firmware from there. I'll give you a link for flashing with Odin if you can't find a good one.

But i can't see the option of choosing carrier

If you're planning on rooting and installing a custom ROM again you may as well just go with the Vodaphone one then go from there. I do have a copy of the unbranded one (can't remember where from) so it is out there if you really need it, only downloaded it last week.
I rooted using Philz kernel, if you search XDA for that you will find the info on how to do it and it seemed the easiest way to go...
