Hi,
I have a problem with my S2 after flashing to new firmware. This is the story:
- I purchased a S2. Everything worked fine. This was the data before I did something I shouldn’t have done:
PDA: I9100XWLQ2
PHONE: I9100XXLQ6
CSC: I9100DBTLPO
Sales code: DBT (only)
Android 4.0.4
Baseband version: I9100XXLQ6
Kernel version
3.0.15-1157945
[email protected] #3
SMP PREEMPT Fri Oct 26 16:17:36 KST
2012
Build number: IMM76D.XWLQ2
Kies worked fine (updated to the above).
- The only problem is that the firmware was DBT (German). The UI was in English but some applications were German. Nothing against Germany but I’m UK based.
- I decided to update to a new version using Odin, so I flashed:
I9100XWLPT_I9100XXLQ6_I9100XEULPA
This is where all the problems started:
Every time I boot I got a message saying the process android.(...).acore stopped
Clearing contacts cache/data did not address the problem
I read in this thread that this was due to instability of LP9 and it was advisable to use LP8.
- Flashed using Odin
Kernel_I9100XWLP8.tar.md5
I9100XWLPT_I9100XXLQ6_I9100XEULPA
- Now I have UK applications (which is good) but:
a) Every time I boot I get the message "Unfortunately, LogsProvider has stopped"
Clearing contacts cache/data doesn’t help.
b) When I try to use the phone (e.g. dial a number) I got a black screen for a minute or so and then the LogsProvider message. After that the phone application closes.
c) Kies stopped working with the message:
Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies
Current firmware version: PDA:LPT / PHONE:LQ6 / CSC:LPA (DBT)
- Flashed I9100XWLPT_I9100XXLQ6_I9100XEULPA_HOME
Same problems
Now internal data is:
Android 4.0.4
Baseband version: I9100XXLQ6
Kernel version
3.0.15-I9100XWLPT-CL941023

In ideal world I would like to have an UK, unbranded, S2 and use Kies for future updates. Having said that, considering that the phone is almost dead any suggestion to bring the S2 back to life would be great.
I’m a little bit desperate... help... please
Thanks

P.S. I did search and read post, guides, notes, comments and info. I am not sure I understood all of it but I did try - I promise.
Well....why don't you just flash an unbranded stock ROM then? You could always update it via kies or OTA.
Should get 4.0.3 tho, dancing with 4.0.4's kernel might brick your device.
what you mean by "bring back to life", It is still working right?

This was the plan:
- Install an unbranded version
- Update via Kies
I didn't work
Do you have any suggestion for a UK-unbranded fimware version (4.0.3) that should work. My understanding is that it should be
a) for GT-I9100 (obviously)
b) XEU version (aka UK)
c) Android 4.0.3
Apart from that, is there any other important requirement?

Don't worry about either your country or your calls. Search for an unbranded samsung official stock 4.0.3 ROM, flash it, check it out (smoothness and all) and then try to make a call. If it doesn't fly, just flash another modem

I got the following messages:
"Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped working"
"Unfortunately, the process androind.process.acore has stopped"

Good news. It looks like the situation has improved after the factory reset.
I'll go to sleep now (it's 2:50am here in London/UK). Tomorrow I'll check all the functions and but it looks like I'm going are in the right direction.
I'll post tomorrow about the results.
Thanks for your help gastonw - it is really appreciated. :good:
np, go get some rest now.
[Q] Brand new S2. After flash: errors, slow... (more questions)
Bingo! The factory reset worked. Everything back to normal. I have my UK application and Kies update to:

The only odd thing that the "About phone screen/Status" shows serial number 0000000000*. Not the end of the world.
Just a few additional questions
Now, before I make the same mistake again (do something I shouldn't, panic and ask for help)... If I want to root:
a) Can I do it without risking to brick?
b) Can I still use Kies after rooting?
c) Is there a recommended procedure that I should follow?
*update about it the next post.
Quick update about serial number 0000000000. Apparently, it is a 4.0.4 bug. The serial number is stored correctly internally but Android UI shows 0000000000.
The majority of people here probably already know that but just in case...

I manage to find the answers to my own questions :silly:
a/c) I followed the procedure described here. It worked great.
b) Yes. Kies doesn’t seem to care that the S2 is rooted
Result:
- 4.0.4 generic/unbranded/XEU firmware
- Updated and recognised by Kies.
- Rooted successfully.
- So far everything works smoothly and fast
Lesson learned:
- Factory reset after firmware flash resolved the problem.
I couldn’t be happier :good:

Happy to hear that, It's good to find answers just by reading a couple of post or googling around.
Now, I'd like you to read a little more about the brick bug and 4.0.4 ICS.

I heard of it - although I don't know the details. The 4.0.4 Brick Bug is the reason why I flashed to 4.0.3 instead of 4.0.4.
The Samsung Update application updated to 4.0.4. It wasn't, strictly speaking, my direct choice. I could have ignored the suggestion of updating but I though that, since the update was coming from Samsung and it was applied to stock firmware, it was a safe choice.

This sounds a little bit scary Should I be worried about something?
Lol, I remember you were on 4.0.4, told you It would be wise to go 4.0.3 and kies threw you back at 4.0.4.
Download gotbrickbug app from the store and check your chip (just for kicks). If it's insane, well...you can always go back to 4.0.3 and wait for the Jelly Bean update thru both Kies & OTA (Over The Air).
The thing is, you're completly safe whereas you don't flash any ROM or custom ROM, and perform things like wipes thru recovery and what not.
If you want to go in a flashing frenzee, then you might flash a safe kernel (like Siyah), but I think it's not the case, you seem to love Kies updates
The important thing is that your device is running smoothly on ICS; so, enjoy.

Hi gastonw,
Thanks again for you useful comments.
I suspected your comments about 4.0.3 vs 4.0.4 were related to my previous attemps of flashing 4.0... and your advice of staying away from it.
I run gotbrickbug and I'm happy to say it reports "Brick Bug? NO. Sane chip" - which I guess is good news.

I have Android version 2.3.6 on my phone. I am not quite sure how I came to do that. Given the following information what would be my best way to upgrade to ice cream sandwich or should I wait?
Android version - 2.3.6
Base Band Version - I9100XXKI3
Kernel Version - [email protected]
Build Number - GINGERBREAD.XWKK5
Also, if I wanted to get back to stock how would I go about it? Does anybody recognize what program, firmware or rom that I used to get to 2.3.6. My apologies if my questions appear stupid but I have suffered brain damage from a aneurysm and stroke that have left me a former shadow of myself.
If you need to ask, you shouldn't be trying. Wait for an official release via Kies/OTA. Current Samsung I9100 ICS releases are leaked and buggy, i.e. not official.
Plenty of posts on this... please find read through a few current threads... If you still have questions come back
thanks

Hey, I will not suggest you to use ICS(Ice Cream Sandwich) for "everyday use", it's not officially out for S2, so it's still BUGGY. Latest 2.3.6 rom - XWLA4, is amazing, fast and battery friendly... but if you want just to see what's going on with ICS, you can always try and after, without problems come back to your 2.3.6(if you do everythink right =)). So I will recommend you to go to
Galaxy S II Original Android Development > [ROM+Guide]Official i9100 Firmwares KG, KH, KI, KJ, KK1/2/5, KL1/2/3, LA2,4 Download posted by Intratech
and read carefully... and GOOD LUCK =)
Here's a few pointers that might help you avoid a lot of problems people seem to have when they start out:
Always make sure that what ever you are flashing is compatible with your particular model of I9100.
Backup your EFS with hellcats kernel companion (or similar).
Perform a nandroid backup before you start flashing.
Don't use the repartition or PIT options in odin.
Take your time and read up.
If you fancy trying ICS go for a rom based on the latest build LPB, it's almost good enough to use on a daily basis, it's still a bit buggy though.

Stick with the build you have for now until ICS is released all we have are buggy test roms .KK5 is a decent enough build .
If you upgraded its either official via Kies or you used the stock rom route below .

thanks for the replies. I have probably read several hundred pages on 3 or different forums. I take the good advice and wait for official release of ICS.

Hello everyone, first time poster but very long time reader of these threads, i've been trying to get as much info as possible on this topic in the hope of reducing the noob-ness of my questions.
First off my phone specs are..
SGS2 on the 3/Vodafone network Australia
P-Code is GT-I9100LKJHUT
Model number GT-I9100T
Android Version 2.3.5
Baseband Version I9100TDUKJ1

Phone: I9100TDUKJ1
CSC: I9100THUTKJ1
Build Info: Wed Oct 26 13:30:25 KST 2011
What i'd like to confirm is...
I have CF-Root-SGS2_XW_LUX_KJ1-v4.4-CWM4.tar
and CF-Root-SGS2_XW_LUX_KJ1-v5.0-CWM5.tar
are either of these two suitable to root my phone, and if so which would be better? or do i need to track down a kernel that more closely matches my stock one? I'm not too bothered about the yellow triangle or the counter increase as yet because i just want to get the root process right first, so can i safely continue using the new firmware/kernel instead of going back to stock just to remove the triangle.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and thanks in advance for any help.
You can use either, but use the 2nd one - later version of CWM. Apart from that, no difference.
So far as getting rid of the triangle/resetting the counter, get a jig & kill two birds with one stone. You can remove the triangle by another method, but it's fiddly and a jig is a must in any event.

Two points on above that OP should be aware of .
one ICS is not yet released beta rom only
two Triangle Away states
THIS IS A DANGEROUS OPERATION AND COULD POTENTIALLY BRICK YOUR DEVICE. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK. A USB JIG IS PREFERRED IF YOU HAVE ONE.
( and by brick I mean brick - only a board replacement or a JTAG unit will be able to save you, don't mess with boot(loader) stuff unless you really mean it! )

I would go with the 2nd as it has a later version of CWM - the important part of the kernal is the last three digits yours and the kernels you have picked out match.
Thanks all for your replies, I must say what a relief it is to come to a forum where noob questions aren't met with derision and ridicule, I'm doubly glad because there's many more questions to come, thanks again.
P.s. where is the thanks button so I can give house all a big thumbs up?

You'd probably be slaughtered alive for posting this question. This is xda, mate. Search, read and try before posting questions. And even if you do have to post a question, find the correct thread for doing so.
Since you asked, look through this thread for all your rooting requirements. Me and probably a million others like you have read that and then managed to root their phones following the steps mentioned there.

Dont forget to thank the contributor.
Yours being 4.0.4 theres a problem with an EMMC bug bricking the phone. again, read the forums thoroughly before going ahead.
Just flash a pre-rooted kernel.
I guess there is a thread discussing about rooting.

I have the same setup as you so I think you can look into my thread which i started yesterday and Jokesy took the time and answered all my questions there including linking to a guide (thank you Jokesy, fantastic). I did not use Odin, but i used CWM Recovery Touch.
After following Jokesy link i rooted my phone, i installed the latest siyah S2 kernel (no beta), i also installed Titanium backup and purchased the PRO key. After that i followed an external link of services and programs that i could safely freeze/delete.
It shall be said that i have been using SGS2 since last spring/summer and this was my first time modifying anything with the phone.
Here is my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1841641

For simplest root just use method 1 from 1st guide in my signature. No CF-Root, no CWM needed. Just copy one file to external SD card and update from stock recovery.
- Thanks for the contributions... - there's a lot to take in -
- This 'Bricking Bug' is something of a concern... - so I'll be doing some more reading before I choose whether to proceed with rooting my SGS2 -
- Hopefully things will be simpler with the Nexus 7... -
- Understanding the various versions, terminology & methods etc. is giving me something of a head-ache today -

different basband?
Hello devs,
I ran into a problem few hours ago and I am trying to work my way around and through it. I honestly did, I have already lost patience and feel like quitting life itself. I wiped my phone, installed a different BOOTLOADER, different MODEM, different CODE and different CSC. I did all this to install a new ROM, I didn't like the changes so I went for my backup and restored it. Everything was successful, except that the Baseband version hasn't changed at all.
What is a baseband? Does it matter if I installed a different one (it is supposed to be XXLPS-I9100)?
Thanks
Baseband and modem are pretty much the same thing mate. You don't need to have a particular one. If you find your signal isn't as good as it should/used to be, you can change your baseband at a later stage. It doesn't matter if you stick to the one you have. It won't spring up at night and chop your phone into two bits

Hey i have a problem my samsung galaxy s2 is an indian version 4.0.4 and its baseband version is I9100 DDLPB so its ok to root it with another baseband verison?
Hi,
had my S2 for a while now and installed ICS through ODIN as here in NZ the updates seem to come a little slower than the rest of the world!
but id like to be on Jellybean and heard so much about unsafe Kernels etc (most of it goes over my head haha)
but i figure my best option, as i dont want a bricked phone, is to go back to stock and get my updates the old fashioned way.
what is the best way to do this? i know other phones can do this through KIES itself...(entering a serial etc), does this work with all phones?
any help would be greatly appreciated!
ICS 4.0.4 stock kernel has brick bug. If you are on stock 4.0.4 then avoid any kind of wiping. If you want to flash official JB go here

But recently KIES software in my laptop got updated and when I connected my S2 it stated that my phone is not compatible to update from KIES. But, the same day when I connected wifi in my phone I got a message that an update is available and its done successfully.
Now can any body help me to get that issue sorted out when connected to KIES as it accepted before and now why it is not accepting ??
Thanks in Advance

ICS 4.0.4 stock kernel has brick bug. If you are on stock 4.0.4 then avoid any kind of wiping. If you want to flash official JB go here

thankyou! very helpful...now that i have read that entire post i just have one question....isnt that still classed as a wipe? the first thing it says to do is put your phone into recovery mode then wipe?
Flash Siyah or Dorimanx kernel first (without wiping ANYTHING). Then use the CWM that is installed with either of those to...
A) complete the wipe processes. And
B) flash your chosen stock ROM.
When you flash your ROM, you WILL overwrite the Siyah or Dorimanx kernel you previously flashed as your ROM has its own kernel (and CWM). As things stand at the moment, this is probably for the best because there have been some changes to CM10.1 that have made a lot of standalone custom kernels incompatible with the ROM..... for example, I lost my baseband when I flashed Siyah on top of CM10.1 and I'm told that there can be issues with video recording too. Which brings me to make one more point....before starting any of this...
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP....
it's your safety net if it all goes wrong (personal experience is a brilliant teacher lol).......

Hey guys,
I have to admit I am not too familiar with phones, roms, rooting, un-rooting etc.
Thing is my friend rooted my girlfriends phone and it has been playing up ever since (2 years)
Today I decided to return the phone to standard because with the current root/rom it will not let me update android from ICS to JB.
I backed up as much stuff as I could and then powered the phone in the basic mode and did a factory reset.
Phone starts up and it still has the old ROM on it only with out all the data apps etc.
I read I could load a stock rom with Jellybean on it to get the phone back to standard.
I have a list of samsung firmware's but my phone is not on the list I would post the link but it won't let me because I am a new user.
Here are my phones details.
Model number - GT-I9100
Android Version 4.0.3
Baseband - I9100XXLPW
Kernal Version - [email protected])
Build number - Lite'ning ROM v3.1
Region - XEN
If I use any of the others will this brick my device? Is there any way around this?
Please help. My girlfriend needs her phone asap!!!
Thanks,
