Hi all, despite searching here on XDA, clicking links and googling, I'm unable to find a download link for a firmware that I think I'm going to need. The firmware in question is.....
I9100NELP4
It's a UK firmware that I believe is 3 mobile branded. I'm having some performance issues with the phone and I want my retailer to check it over, but I can't really take it back whilst it's running CM10.1.
The firmware in question is android 4.0.4, so you can imagine I ain't exactly thrilled about the prospect of reinstalling that....lol.
If the firmware really is unavailable, is there some other method I can use to get it back to out of the box stock? For example...can I download and install a gingerbread stock ROM and then wait for a branded OTA upgrade?.......
Thanks in advance.....Keith

Re: Impossible to find firmware
Yes, you can.
(you bought it branded? flash any ROM of your carrier, gb, ics, jb if available. Dont look for specific ROMs, just look at the label).

Thanks gastonw I guess that means using Odin can it be done with mobile Odin? Is that any easier than PC Odin?
Lol...no I didn't buy it outright....it's on contract.......

Re: Impossible to find firmware
Mobile odin is great for flashing stock ROMs.
Flash any carrier-branded version you like.

Re: Impossible to find firmware
Can someone tell me if I did something wrong.....
1) downloaded and installed mobile Odin lite.
2) downloaded the correct flash kernel (v3) unzipped it and installed it
3) downloaded and extracted the correct stock ROM from Sammobile.
4) started mobile Odin and used it to locate and prepare the extracted firmware
5) started the flash process and let it complete......and.....
.....ended up stuck on the galaxy s2 splashscreen.........
Wiping cache, dalvic and fixing permissions didn't help either.....
Should I have formatted one or more of the storage partitions?
Luckily I could still enter recovery and/or download mode and had flashable zips of cwm, SU-Busybox and a custom ROM stored on my phone, so I was able to "restore" my previous setup.......
Here are some images of the setup before beginning the flash (if it helps)...

Thanks.... I'm assuming that you're saying to factory reset AFTER flashing the firmware.....after I experience the stall on splash screen?......
Uhm.....just one possible issue though......the firmware I want to flash is 4.0.4......

Why are you flashing 4.0.4 then? Flash 4.0.3 so that you can safely perform a factory reset. You will have to use PC Odin this time. Get your phone into download mode and flash the firmware when it is done using the 3 button combo boot into recovery and do a factory reset there!
EDIT: Updating from GB to 4.0.4 is yet another problem. You will face FCs and crashes if you don't perform a factory reset! I updated via Kies and was facing many issues!
As I said in my OP, the phone is having some performance issues and I want to take it back to the retailer for them to look at. I guess I don't have to flash 4.0.4 it's just that that's how it came out of the box. If I can find a .tar of 4.0.3 is there a reason I can't use mobile Odin to flash it and then perform the factory reset? Finally (if it's relevant) I DL'd and used the "got brick bug" app and it told me that my chip was "unknown" which doesn't really help me other than to say I *might* be safe to do a wipe........

That flash should have gone fine, what was that "unzipped the kernel" all about?
Let me see what carrier you're on and I'll provide the right ROM for you to flash.

Yeah, the lite version makes it a little harder with that unzipping crap.
Try this, factory reset before you flash, all wipes and go at it again. Should be fine.
Correct me if I'm totally off base here......
Factory reset....deletes all user installed apps but leaves user data alone?
This being the case, won't mobile Odin and the flash kernel be deleted?
Can I push them into system and fix permissions beforehand? Or should I just reinstall them after the factory reset?

That's what factory reset does, it deletes all user data (logs, apps and sh*t), not the kernel.
Once you boot into your clean ROM get mobile Odin from Play store, set it up and flash away.
By getting the Pro version you'll be getting some cool features, the app almost flashes on itself....
OK thanks fella, did you look at the firmware I'm attempting to flash? Is it correct? Is there a 4.0.3 version out there?

I checked it out, it's OK. Check the signatures just in case with M.O.
So the steps as I understand them...
1) menu>>settings>>backup & reset>>factory data reset
2) reinstall mobile Odin (and flash kernel if using lite version)
3) boot into recovery and wipe dalvic and cache
4) reboot phone normally
5) start mobile Odin and search for downloaded firmware
6) run md5 checks
7) begin flash process and allow to complete
8) reboot phone normally and complete initial setup.....job done
Should I be doing any other wiping or formatting of any partitions (eg preload, emmc etc) between steps 7 & 8.....or anywhere else in the process?......

Dear friends i am a newbie in this and i need your help... I am searching the entire forum a week now and i tried everything without result.
Some solutions and methods that is posted cannot fix my problem...
I am using a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 with ICS 4.0.3 XXLP2 official a month ago and i have many problems with force closed apps, gps is very slow to trigger etc. So i download many ICS 4.0.4 from here to update my phone and here the problems start.
I used all the explanations methods to update but all the times i have the same problem. My phone stuck at start Galaxy Logo.
I want to explain you to be clear what i did and to reply me where i made mistakes.
I start with odin to get root access and everything was ok.
After that i moved the ICS 4.04 to my sd internal card via usb
I Perform a full wipe by selecting the following from the recovery menu
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Mounts and storage” menu, then select “Format system”
“Install zip from sdcard.”
I locate the zip file and i install it and i make a reboot.....
At this point my SGS2 stuck at Samusng logo and not resposding after 10 minutes of waiting. So i removed the battery and i try to use 3 button to go to recovery without result. So i used volume down + powen button to go to downloading mode and with odin i recover to 4.0.3 again. I used 5 diferrent ICS 4.0.4 and at the same point i have the same results...
So i choose other method like
wipe data/factory reset”.
advanced” and then “wipe dalvik cache”
mounts and storage”, then select “format system”.
Then, select “install zip from sdcard
reboot
the same problem is stucking to galaxy logo
So i tried and this method...
Reboot into recovery
Wipe Data / Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Install the Main ROM
In recovery go to Advanced
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Fix Permissions
Wipe Cache Partition
Reboot
and again with no result is stucking at galaxy logo....
I tryed to flash the kernel and i get the Kernel Panic Upload Mode...
I used the latest siyal kernel to flash it. To gain access to root i used CWM 5
Where i am making a mistake? I can't understand it.
Please help me to update to ICS 4.0.4 to solve ICS 4.0.3 problems!!
Thanks for your valuable time!
Best regards
Michael
By 4.0.4 do you mean AOSP roms such as cm9? Maybe you flashed the XXLPQ leaked rom which has a bootloader packaged in it then that is the culprit. I remembered back in the early days of cm9 that if you have the xxlpq bootloader it will be stuck in the samsung logo (or was it bootlooping). If you use cm9 then download and flash the attached bootloader on the first post.
REMEMBER: Read first before doing anything, flashing bootloaders may brick your phone. Proceed with caution.

The uptop answer is totally true. You need new bootloader. Not too risky, but risky a bit. Better not unplug the USB at a critical state..

Best bet for you and safest, first wipe, than flash the latest xwlpd using Odin.
Now you have everything that works for 4.04 aosp/cm9 roms.

Just a bootloop, give this a go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499
You will lose all data although, nothing on external sd card will be lost.
Also, how did you flash the ROM? If you followed the guide step-by-step, you shouldn't have ended up in a bootloop.
I wiped all partitions and then flashed the zip file.
Is it with a bootloop that you even can't get in to recovery? I'm stuck on samsung logo, not on RR logo

Ah I'm stupid! You need to get into recovery for that thread! You're definitely holding the correct buttons when the phone is fully off (home + power + volume up)?
I think I will give it a go. But the threat says that you should do it from your recovery, or if you are not comfortable with the recovery way you should do it via odin. I can't get in recovery, so maybe I have an other problem..
I'm honestly a little scared of odin.
once I had to do something with odin, but that failed. so I could not get out download mode..

This is taken straight from my rooting guide. It will help you correctly set up Odin:
First off, you need Odin, which is a flashing tool specifically designed for the SGS2: Just type in "Odin 1.85" without quotations into Google and the first result should display "Odin - xdadevelopers - XDA Developers." Click on the link and Odin will download.
Now before going ahead with Odin, download Kies: http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/ ,which is like iTunes for Samsung Devices, the drivers are needed for Odin, but when the drivers have been installed, close Kies, right click on your toolbar at the bottom of your desktop, I'll assume your running Windows 7, and go into Task Manager. Now find anything with Kies running in the Task Manager, right click on them and kill them.
Once you have done this, go to "sammobile.com", sign up and download a stock ROM for the GT-I9100. I'll assume you have the international SGS2, just remove your battery and make sure it isn't the GT-I9100G. Then flash via Odin by connecting your phone, making sure Odin is configured like above, and then putting your phone in download mode, connecting it to your PC and put the file you downloaded in the PDA section and flash.

Yes, if you can't get into Recovery Mode, a new flash is your only saviour. When you have flashed the ROM and hopefully everything went well, you can root your ROM by using Chainfire's CF-Root. Then you could restore a backup.
I have also a zip-file of my previous rom on my sd-card. That was codename lungo. Can I flash that zip so i don't neet to re-root lik you said?

Do you know what it is/does? Also, the guide I took that segment on setting up Odin was actually written for rooting your ROM with CF-Root.
Oh, its a ROM. My bad! Well, I'm not too sure. I think if you have a backup of it, that would be safer. Rooting is real easy anyway.
Is Codename Lungo not a HTC Sensation ROM?
Oke thank you.
I will download the stock firmware from sammobile, and try to flash it with Odin. I just want it to work again (root or no root) and not have to buy a new phone

Don't thank me till it's working! Once new ROM flashed and booted, let me know.
By the way, don't use the .PIT file if one is included in the download, if you get PDA, PHONE and CSC, put in appropriate sections of Odin and flash, if just one file, put in PDA section and flash.

Hi. Sorry, I'm a a bit of a noob to the Samsung tools (having just come from the HTC world of hacking!). Can you tell Odin/Mobile Odin not to flash the modem part? I don't want to flash a SA modem onto my UK EE handset.

If it is a one Part Firmware like this one, no you can't. AFAIK you would need a 3 Part Firmware which consists of a Code, modem and csc part. There isn't a 3 part Firmware available right now.
What you could do is flash you current modem (your Providers Modem) seperately after flashing the Firmware.

Hi. Thanks for your help.
I've extracted the tar from the zip and then unpacked the tar. I assume I can just flash the system and boot images via Mobile Odin and leave the others? Sorry to be asking so many questions. I just don't want to brick my handset by rushing head long into something new to me.
Thanks

Yes mate all you do is unzip the tar then connect phone & flash through pda as normal.

Just done it. Flashed system and boot images only with Mobile Odin. All went fine. I now have 4.1.2 and kept have my EE modem

I pretend to use mobile odin, which is the best way to root for mobile odin installation and without increase the counter?

Yes, you can use Mobile Odin Pro to install and root without increasing the counter.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35057300#post35057300
Download the file from the OP and unzip it to your internal or extenal SD.
Launch Mobile Odin Pro, tap "Open file" and select the unzipped .tar.md5 file.
Now tick "Enable EverRoot", "Inject Superuser (SuperSU)", and "Inject Mobile Odin".
If you want a completely clean installation, also tick "Wipe data and cache" and "Wipe Dalvik Cache" (Warning: this erases all installed apps and settings).
Then tap on "Flash firmware" to start the installation process.
Thanks, but before the mobile odin can be used the phone must be rooted, the question is: which is the best method for root the phone by the first time, without increase the counter and apear the yellow triangle? . I think that one option is flashing CF-root (with PC odin) and after use triangle away.
Thanks one more time.
This is what I did. Flashed the phone /w PC Odin and used triangle away afterwards. Worked flawlessly.

If using Mobile Odin, it is a good idea to deselect the modem and hidden partitions as they are for a South African telco.

If you go to System settings > About device > Status, does "Device status" say "Normal" or "Modified"?
I also rooted it with PC odin using this tutorial (stock recovery method) initially:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31801060&postcount=2
Unfortunately, Triangle Away was not able to reset the counter successfully (it was still showing "1"), and "Device status: Modified".
Anyway, as I was already rooted I then went the Mobile Odin Pro way selecting all the wipes. This brought back the counter to zero and "Device status: Normal" and gave me root access at the same time.

Hi I'm in the same boat and want to keep my ee modem and root. I've unzipped the file so do I just place the boot image and system image on my sd card and then flash them with mobile odin ? I'm not sure what affect having a SA modem on a British network would have on the phone if any

I initially installed this full image incl the modem on my EE N7105 (am using with Three UK) and the speeds were all over the place.
So I then reflashed the original image and then this image minus the modem and I can say that the speeds have improved drastically...
Strangely I am also getting a signal albiet 1bar in in some places where I had zero signal before.
Don't know what this build contains to improve on the signal strength...
Also battery life has not depleted and seems to be better than the previous build.
I'm somehow getting horrible Battery Life when i flash the included (SA) Modem. It's about 4-6% per Hour while before i had 2-3% guess i have to flash again the Provider Firmware and then the new one excluding the Modem. I'm on Vodafone Germany
Hi guys. I finally made the change to android a few months back after iphoning for several years. I'm so glad I did. Everything I wanted that Apple wouldn't let me have is here. I wasn't too bothered about rooting up until I saw a video on youtube detailing the advantages. I was quite surprised you can get free tethering (which is something that would be very handy). Also since the jelly bean update my phone became a bit laggy and i heard you can speed it up via 'setcpu'.
After days or reading, reading and yet more reading I took the plunge and rooted my s3 i9300 via Odin. The first file I used said successful but a 'check root' app said it wasn't. I found another file for my spec and tried that and it seems to have rooted now.
So here are my questions that although I've read alot about I haven't really found an answer I'm confident with to take the next step....
1) Can I just turn on tethering on my settings or do I have to install or download a certain app to run it through? I'm on T-mobile if that makes a difference and I'm from the UK.
2) The CWM that is installed is not the same one I keep reading about. I found an updated version on this site but can I just install it via ODIN or do I need to uninstall the one currently on the phone.
3) I would like to try a fresh install of a ROM so i have a clean foundation. I'm not fussed about backing up my apps etc and all my contacts are sync'd via google. At this time I'm quite happy to keep the phone standard-ish looking while I learn more about rooting and roms and have heard cyanogenmod are more popular for the close to stock roms. I have also read they have released a 4.4. Is there a stable version yet? After I have my CWM can I just flash the ROM straight on. Any links for a stable cyanogenmod??
4) Any info on removing the bloatware?
Thanks guys in advance. I'm sure you've heard these questions time and time again. I was an Apple Jailbreaker for along time so hopefully I wont be too hard to educate.
Ben
1. What are you tethering? Simplest way is wirelessly but that doesn’t require root anyway.
2. Yes just update via odin.
3. CM is aosp based rom so it's actually fairly close to stock android rather than stock Samsung, have a look in the Android development forum for a list of custom roms. I won't recommend a particular rom as they all have benefits. Aosp roms cm included have issues due to Samsung controlling some of the proprietary software meaning some things hdmi out, FM radio etc either don't work or have limited function.
4. If you flash a custom rom, you are reducing bloat to a greater or lesser extent. But you may also be sacrificing some Google or Samsung apps depending on your chosen rom, again have a look at the rom threads as there are seriously too many to list.
And welcome to the dark side and enjoy the freedom.

No by tethering I just meant for my laptop or the kids ipad's etc if we're out and about with no wifi. So I can just use the usual stock tethering as opposed to having to use an app?
Is CMW the better one to use?
I shall browse the roms and try and find something that's compatible.
Thanks for your time

Stock tethering should work fine, that's what I use. If i was you I'd stick with a Samsung based rom to start with as you'll find most of the apps are available and all features should work, but once you've got the bug the skies the limit.
CWM is probably the benchmark recovery, but if you want a slightly more featured one you could go with Philz.
Just remember nandroid is your friend, keep a backup and if a ROM doesn't suit you just restore.

Hi. Well I've tried to update the CWM through Odin and it says it has passed etc but when I go back into the phone it is still the old version.
Do I need to unlock my bootloader first? I was under the impression the i9300 bootloaders are unlocked from stock?
If so I'm running 4.3 so am I right in reading that it cannot be unlocked?
Another thing. When I plug my phone into Odin nothing happens. If I connect my phone first then open Odin it recognises it. All be it could be an issue with Odin I did it this way for the initial root and it worked fine?
Please helppppppp. I got the bug now. Just like the old apple jailbreak days

You do not need to use Odin to change recoveries if you already have a custom recovery installed..There are two versions of recovery .tar.md5 (you flash these with Odin) or .zip files (you flash these with your current custom recovery)
I would also recommend using PhilZ recovery it as alot more options.
Ok thanks. So do I add the zip version to my SD card? If so how do I run it from there? Via the CWM app on my phone?

Sorry my confusion I didn't realise you where using the cwm manager app! This is why you are having problems I never use apps to flash roms or recoveries they always seem to have problems.You need to manualy flash from recovery itself boot into recovery volume up + home+power and flash from there.
Flash PhilZ recovery from there....
Hi thanks. Maybe that's why. I've been doing volume down, home and power.
Flash using odin?

That's download mode lol easy mistake your not the first! Yes flash with Odin takes less than a minute to do..
As always, a HUGE thanks goes to my partner in crime, @garwynn, for all the hard work he puts in on our site and all that he does for the community. He is the man!
Second, thanks to @vinman12 for posting the TAR here.
This Odin One-Click.exe contains the Stock ND2 Bootloader, Kernel, Modem and ROM for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S5(SM-G900P). Yes, that means this comes with the full Knox Bootloader.
There has been no change to the ROM from the initial build released by Samsung.
This will NOT trigger the Yellow Triangle NOR will it increment the Odin flash count.
This one-click resets your whole phone to the stock ND2 experience, similar to a factory restore and it may wipe all data. It also contains the full bootloader and Knox.
Instructions:
1: Backup anything important and Disable any PINs.
During this process your phone's software will be returned to the Stock setup. All system data will be lost. To be safe, it is best to archive your backup off your phone, ie on your PC or Dropbox.
2: Install Samsung USB/Android drivers (if necessary).
Samsung Drivers Download Link
3: Download the ND2 Stock ROM One-Click.
SM-G900P_ND2_Full Restore_UNROOTED (Compressed Archive).exe (Resets user data)
4: Unzip One-Click ROM using 7zip (this package is a self-extracting exe you should just be able to double-click on it after download and it will do the rest).
5: Start the Odin One-Click.
Navigate to the location where the SM-G900P_ND2_Full_Restore_UNROOTED.exe was saved upon extract from the 7Zip archive.
Double-click on SM-G900P_ND2_Full_Restore_UNROOTED.exe. *On Vista or newer, you may need to right-click on the file and select Run as Administrator.
6: Place phone in Download Mode.
- Power phone completely off.
- Press and hold Volume Down, Home and Power buttons, all at the same time.
- Release the buttons only when the ‘Warning!!’ message appears.
- Press [Volume Up] to enter Download mode.
7: Connect USB cable to PC and phone.
Odin should show a yellow COM port in the second column. If you do not see a yellow COM port, you may need to run the Odin One-Click as Administrator and/or unplug/plugin the USB cable after starting Odin One-Click.
8: Start Odin flash process.
Press [Start].
9: Complete - PASS!
Status should change to green PASS! At this point your phone should automatically reboot.
The boot process will take slightly longer than usual during which time you'll see the Sprint 4G/Spark logo screen.
Congratulations! You've flashed the Factory Restore ND2 build!

I think stock rom far better versus modded roms. Feels more responsive especially for calling app which is mandatory for me and I'm sure for you too.

Hi,
I currently have rooted S5, running MOAR with philz recovery. My phone has been running a bit wonky with quite a few problems and I think starting fresh as if I just opened the box with my shiny brand new S5 (instead of normal factory reset when flashing rom) would be the way to go. I have been searching and reading and to be honest, my head is spinning. I think this procedure is what I need to accomplish my goal :fingers-crossed: but just wanted to confirm. Appreciate any help!!

This is exactly what you need. However, I would suggest flashing TWRP and wiping internal storage before flashing. That way you are 100% brand new.

Do you mean flashing TWRP and wiping internal storage before this procedure or after but before re-rooting and flashing rom? I would love to go back to using TWRP all the time but had heard there were issues if you ever needed to do a recovery so that is why I use philz, But I guess if you are referring to before this process then I could flash philz again after re-rooting.
Thanks so much for your assistance!

I would do it before and wipe data and internal. Then immediately boot to download mode and flash the one-click. You can root and flash Philz after that.

Oakie dokie, that is what I will do. I do have one last question. When I rooted with CF Auto-Root and installed philz with Odin, you select the tar file in one of the boxes in Odin and then press start. Here it says to double click on exe, put phone in download mode and then press start in Odin. You don't need to select a file within Odin before pressing start? Hopefully not a completely dopey question.
Not a dopey question at all! The difference between this and most Odin packages is that this is in fact a One-Click Odin package. We have selected all the options and set everything up so that all you need to do is hit start and wait for the flash. No more accidentally loading something to the wrong slot or hitting the wrong button and having your device blow up in your hands. Ultimately it is the same process but simplified.
