yes, some (including me) do prefer Odin v1.85 over 3.04 or 3.07 and for some its different, just see the one that wrks for u (in ur case v3.04) and also ensure u have the latest samsung driver's and 'Kies process' killed while Doing ODIN flash on ur phone

Really? KIES process must be shut down? Why? There's any full information thread about odin?

The Kies processes mess up when Odin is running. You can install standalone Kies drivers and not have to worry about killing the processes. As for which is better, both do the exact same job but I prefer 1.85 as it is well tested, widely used and more guides on how to use; for reference on proper set up look at my guide in my sig (I know it is for rooting, but it tells you how to correctly configure Odin and Kies).

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

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
Hello, i have one piece galaxy ace android version 2.3.3...i wish to upgrade this phone to android 2.3.5...is it safe to do so and what is procedure? Thanks
It is completely safe and you can do it via Kies or Odin. Just google the firmware you want to install (in this case 2.3.5) as well as an instalation guide and follow the steps
PD. I'm just politely answering b4 some dude comes up and says:
Hey c'mon, why don't you google this? You'll get a faster answer... Why don't you go to development section and read ALL THE POST related to upgrade your firmware.

2.3.5 isn't available in all regions through kies. And if this is the case in your region, then odin is the only option.

Use Odin flash bcz kies can brick your phone.and to download latest version go to samfirmware.com register there go to phones list choose gt s5830 there you can download Odin and latest firmware. There is also a guide for our phone for how to flash with Odin. read it carefully......
sent from my phone and don't forget to hit thanks button if I helped you in any means ......
Shall I say that I flashed via KIES like 3 - 4 times b4 getting to forums and stepping away from being a noob...???? And I DIN'T brick my phone????
Shall I say that I bricked it while flashing thru ODIN????
... Anyway ODIN is better... but READING is a MUST
You can press software update in the about phone section i settings that will let you also upgrade to 2.3.5 i did that too

Well I was also on 2.3.3. and i upgraded through kies, it din't brick my device but it has become unstable and reboots every now and then :/
Hello all I have looked all over for information on how to simply install CWM and get some clean JellyBean running on my S2 but so far I have been unable to find somthing that will explain in detail on going about doing this. A few days ago I bricked a S2, and after rescuing it with a UK orange rom I was able to exchange it for a clean one again (They would send the Orange one back to factory).
But i'm still unsure how to proceed now.
How do I know if my S2 is romable? I have ICS running on it atm, 4.04, Baseband version I9100BOLP7, Kernel version 3.0.15-1056084, Build number IMM76D.BOLPM.
Thanks a lot!
Since I did not find CF Root for your ROM either you can:
1. Flash a ROM having CF root. Then root as given in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399. This method is suggested if you want to stay on stock kernel and don't want to try custom kernel.
2. You can also flash the Odin version of Siyah kernel. Find it from the download link from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1555259. The latest version is 4.1.5. The method of flashing through Odin is given in the CF root thread.
I recommend 2nd method as its straight forward and siyah is a good kernel.

NO, all android ICS v4.0.4 stock roms do have the Brick bug that comes along with there Krenel's ma8
hence u also have it, but fear not as long as u dont do anything silly with ur stock recovery to hardbrick ur phone

u should not do anything with the recovery of the stock kernel of v4.0.4 like doing any wipes or backup etc as it might brick ur phone.
so to be on the safer side u can flash some custom kernels like 'Siyah kernel' thro odin, so that it replaces the stock recovery and also the custom kernels are safe from 'Brick bug' issue

Your very helpful as I had trouble understanding what should and should not be done. So if I just flash Siyah through Odin, ill be relativity safe? Ill still get the yellow warning sign but for the rest everything will work, and then ill be able to flash a custom rom like CM10?

yes u will be safe with siyah (ensure u flash the .tar extension file of v4.1.5 from ODIN) kernel.
you can use 'triangle away' app to get rid of yellow triangle.
and u will be able to install cm10 for sure
Maybe not the latest version of CM10. From what I've read, there are some changes made in the latest iteration of cm10 to sort out some issues in jellybean which requires some change in the kernel code and hasnt been implemented in siyah yet. So the latest cm10 ROM so far only runs on the cm kernel. It wont boot with siyah. Wont harm the phone in any way, but mihht give you a fright if you see it isnt booting. You could try some other custom ROMs in the mean time.. most of which are derived from CM10 itself.
I could be wrong though..so you could confirm it. Still..just to be safe, ya know?

No it still gives the same message, I'm wondering if its something to do with my usb port as the last phone came in over COM6.
Thanks though!
I don't know.. but does the Odin version matters? I use v1.8.5.
I really don't understand why Odin will give an error. Maybe you can attach the screen shot of Odin after you press start.

hi everyone!
would really appreciate some clear advice on how to unroot sgs3 i9300 on vodafone.ive looked on the forums and im jus confused and i just dont understand.yes a noob.all this talk bout flash counters roms i just given up almost.
i got fone rooted already from a friend.they wrote down what actually was done.
cf root 6. something was used via odia 1.85 on pc.
i have jelly bean 4.1 xxdlih running but it says modified and ota wont wrk? i connect to kies and it says up to date.
am i on a stock rom? or is it custom? sorry ive been getting all this from the forums just not sure.
if a new official firmware was released i could update through kies? without problems? and return phone to normal?
would this cwm cf root cause problem when eventually updating through kies as i have modified status on phone? is flash counter increased?not sure again.
would ota start working? read somewhere people still get ota. but i dont. i knw there isnt a firmware available but it says modified so stopping future updates? i jus want fone normal.i knw benefits of rooted as i been reading up last 5days but i dont need them.
i looked on sammobile and the latest official i see is for my fone xxdlih? thats what i have?
there option in supersu to remove root? what would happen if did that? i guess it would unroot but would phone still be modified status? or return to normal? ota would be working again?
i think that most of it.thanks to anyone who can jus clear things up in a basic way for me.thanks!!!!
just flash the latest stock rom - XXDLJ4 I think.
Download from sammobiole and flash with ODIN.
There's tutorials on here on how to use ODIN.
Root etc. will be removed.

hi mike thanks for the quick reply.i jus looked it up and i have to be in download mode with usb debugg ticked on phone right? i looked on sammobile its xxdlih for my fone which is what im on.sorry if im not getting it.do i flash the same one again? thanks again man!
No problem
I suggested XXDLJ4 as this is the latest official unbranded JB firmware for the UK.
Flashing this would mean you wouldnt have to update OTA or Kies once youve unrooted.
You can flash XXDLIH if you want, you would then get an OTA to upgrade to XXDLJ4 (or similar).
Yes, make sure you're in download mode / usb debugging on to use ODIN.
Make sure 'repartition' is NOT ticked and all should be good.
EDIT - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911726 for guides on using ODIN.

flashing either of the firmwares will put you on the latest - either Unbranded or Vodafone Branded.
They are both 4.1.1.

It would appear that you haven't installed the CyanogenMod yourself. Please do some reading & research before attempting to flash anything, stock or modded, otherwise you'll end up with an expensive paperweight.
Specifically, here, you shouldn't be using Kies at all in your flashing. In fact, it is recommended to kill all Kies processes as they can interfere with the flashing process.
You need to get the phone into download mode, and flash the ROM with Odin, assuming the ROM is Odin flashable.
There is a guide in general forum on how to return to stock using Odin.
Thanks for your reply...I read some information regarding this.....As per my understanding to use odin mobile should be connected to PC via Samsung Kies..but in my case cynogen is not supported kies.SO how can I proceed?

As the others have already told you: That understanding is wrong. Your phone needs to be connected to the pc but N-O-T via KIES.
