Please help me!
I've a I9100 updated via Kies to Jelly Bean. I tried to root it but I used a wrong version, a one for the I9000G.
It worked for a while, but now it reboot for ever!!!
I downloaded the official Firmware from SamMobile and flash it (as PDA) by ODIN, but I didn't recovered, It bootloops again!
How can I solve this problem?
Is there a way to download the flash image (I didn't any backup prior to root ).
Thank you very much!

Thank you very much, but I've already solved my problem flashing an unbranded original firmware.
Now I've got only a problem : the updates via Kies are no more available. Why? The firmware is a stock firmware!

I've had the pleasure of owning a Samsung smartphone since October 2010. With that, please trust me when I say this: Kies is rubbish! The amount of stuff this program installs into your PC to do what's easily done by connecting via Mass Storage mode? Nuts! The amount of time it spends trawling the net and using up vital battery power while it runs in background on your phone? Insane! The best way to have a i9100 (or any other Android device) running is with a custom ROM - that way you can at least remove any app or 'bloatware' you don't want before you bring the phone to life.
My advice? In short: totally clean out and factory reset your phone, flash the stock i9100 SamMobiles JB release using Odin, root your phone, choose a custom ROM that you like the look of, flash it in and then discover the brilliance of the i9100 that lies beneath the stock standard offering...

I agree with you, but there is a reason why I have to keep my phone with original software.
Is there a way to make it compatible again with Kies updates?

Yes, install a Samsung-based custom ROM.
As for a reason why you have to keep your phone with Original software, is it a phone supplied by your employer? If so, then it's Yours to do as you please with, because use of the device is part of your salary package. Other than that, all which is altered by installing a custom ROM can be restored, simply by doing a nandroid backup of the original firmware before installing the new ROM...

Hello, have searched for this but found nothing in the S2 forum itself, essentially have rooted my phone (s2 I9100) onto the Siyah 5.0.1 kernal, would essentially like to run JB (4.2.2 or closest) on my phone
Is there an image of the stock android for jelly bean that I can upgrade my phone too? can't find a download link anywhere so don't want to brick my phone with a suspect site, figured it is safer to ask first.
I would assume if it exists i can use Odin to just flash the phone to that stock JB image and that is that? or is there anything else to it
Thanks
Flash official stock JB 4.1.2 using Odin. Thats that.
You can find links for official firmware on sammobile.com.

Okay, one more silly question (apologies in advance), the stock android on my phone is 4.0.3, i'm on O2 and in the united kingdom
Since united kingdom is only listed once on sammobile with vodafone in the name, does this mean no no for me? or will the vodafone one still work by wizadry?
Cheers
You need to find out if phone is network locked or not. If it is go to o2uk website search unlock code and fill in form. 24hrs later they will reply with sim unlock code. Unlock your phobe and flash nordic 4.1.2 (nee) im o2uk using it and it works great. Make sure you learn how to flash b4 you try it. Good luck you have plenty of reading to do
LSJ Powered Time Machine.
You want lsd/ls8.Or just wait until O2 releases their uk one.
hi there, after installing several roms I've decided that I want to go back to the good old fashioned GB 2.3.3 rom.

I didn't understand what to do in this website..
I think you can only get the latest firmware from that site, not older firmware
I don't know about android 2.3.3 but I have recently downloaded android 2.3.6 from sammobile.com
Go to its firmware section and search hope you find your 2.3.3 there.

If your country is not on sammobile.com, choose a region near to you, or choose the nordic region firmwares..

Flash the GB rom via ODIN. ENJOY
Link anyone?

I tried update firmware via KIES yesterday (4/4/2013) and I got an error and the troubleshooting options were
1. Remove battery
2. put it back
3. turn phone on
4. connect to pc
5. try again
I tried updating twice and same thing happened. So I now want to upgrade via Odin. Can anyone link me to official Indian firmware so I can download it and use it for flash on odin.
Download all stock firmwares from sammobile.com.
Be warned that flashing via Odin is not for beginners. If you do not know what you're doing, you could mess up your phone real bad.

Go to sammobile and search for the JB ROM ur looking for, download it
While the download is in progress, please make sure you read properly how to flash via ODIN (if not you can YouTube for a video guide )

I tried searching it in sammobile before posting. Could not find the firmware. Also yes I have rooted several devices and I am pretty sure about odin flash. So a link for the particular firmware would help me.

yea now im able to open download mode after i flash the ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.2.9 ..
but each time i try to flash it, it fails even i try 4.1.2 and 4.0.4 roms
any help with it??
thanks alot
if u can tell me what it means this when i go to download mode it says : custom Binary download yes( 4 counts)
It fails when you flash via Odin? Have u checked the odin troubleshooting guide yet?
Custom binary downloads = custom ROM installs

Don't flash 4.0.4 pls. Brick bug is not a good thing.
thanks all
i have flash it by odin 1.85 and the rom is 2.3.5.. all ok and done
but how to upgrade it to 4.0.4?
You don't. Forget 4.0.4
If you really want ICS go for 4.0.3
Flash with Odin the same as GB you just flashed. Or root your gb rom and use mobile Odin pro to flash it.

i downloaded kernal and i have got Official Firmwares 4.0.4, when im trying to flash the kernal it fails and when

then to flash the frimwares again with 2.3.5 via pda !!

You're right :thumbup:
Op you're trying to flash something not meant for you're model. In first post you state you have an i9100 ? As @immortalneo has pointed out the thread you have posted is for the i9100g! Stop flashing and start reading mate or you will end up with a phone that don't work. :thumbdown:
