Relax mate. I too had the same problem!
Sammobile.com contains all official firmwares released by Samsung in different countries. Flashing any of them using Odin will not void your warranty.
As for which country to choose, it doesn't really matter! U have been using Saudi version in India without any probs right?
Go to sammobile.com, search for 4.1.2 firmwares for GT I9100, and download any version (preferably European version).
Then simply flash it using Odin.

[Q] Please HELP ! Rooted, but CANNOT Upgrade to 4.1.2 !!

Hello,
My 9100 is using 4.0.4, and I would like to upgrade it to 4.1.2 (I9100ZCLSH_I9100OZHLSH_CHN, it's a chinese version because I would like to have a chinese system). BUT FAILED!
I have already installed CWM with super user, and whenever I reboot the phone, there is a yellow triangle, so I BELIEVE it's been rooted successfully.
When I put the phone in download mode, plug it in Odin, the sign shows yellow with COM4 (or 5 or 6), so I believe there is no connection or driver problem.
However, when I load the PDA file I9100ZCLSH_I9100OZHLSH_CHN and start, Odin could not complete the flash. it shows FAIL....
Please see the picture. Could anyone help with this issue !!! Thank you so much !!
Details of my system:
4.0.4
baseband version I9100XXLQ5
Kernel: 3.0.15-I9100XXLPQ-CL223505
Build number IMM76D.XXLQ5

Hi, Thank you very much.
I think I have already rooted, I flashed with CF-Root-SGS2-XX_OXA_LQ5-v5.6-CWM5, and I could get super user permission.
But the only problem is that I cannot flash a new stock firmwire....
be carefull with 4.0.4 kernel....

Hi thanks gastonw.
Yes, I have heard of the danger of 4.0.4 and I wonder if my system has been "soft bricked"... Luckily, it's still working on 4.0.4, though failed in flashing new stock firmwire. I just don't know the reason...
Download new Odin 3.07 version.
Are yu flashing right ROM version.
Maybe corrupted files.
Try redownload it. If you downloaded from SamFirmware maybe its bad download.
Something is wrong with SAM zip files. I downloaded today from SAM and ger ZIP damaged. Downloaded from annother link
Redownload the ROM and flash again with ODIN 3.07

Yes, I'm Chinese. I was using UK version and fine, but now I switched to S3 and I'm giving S2 to my mom. Chinese version will be easier for her
I tried a new version of Odin, the same failure ....
Do you think the firmwire that I downloaded has a problem ?? yes I downloaded it from samfirmwire, and actually I tired 3 different versions, including older ginger bread , none of them worked ... this problem is driving my a little crazy .
There is a way to solve "unflashable" S2, do you recommend I try it?

I think you have corrupted files.
Try to download the same ROM again but from annother LINK. NOT Hotfile
If it doesnt work neither. Then try to install ICS Chinese for you REGION and try update via OTA or KIES
It it doesnt work 2 then try the link you posted ABOVE
One more thing. I saw you have COM6 or something. It sounds like USB HUB ports.
Try to connect phone to the original PC USB in front of the PC or MotherBoard USB not in the HUBS.
Make ONE PC reboot 2

Hello guys,
Thank you soooo much for all your advises ! Without your suggestions, I would not be able to solve this problem.
In the end, I think its the firmware V.S. phone format problem.
I9100OZHLSH_CHN, is the official firmware to chinese S2 users. Mine is actually Canadian i9100 M, but I flashed it with UK version so it shows I9100. I read a thread in chinese, saying that Bootloader is needed, which use .pit to format the partition from eur to chn. Thus, I guess no matter how many times I try, without Bootloader, the flash would be failed. (I did not really try the bootloader, seems to be risky, if anyone in the future needs it, pls follow this link in chinese though.... http://bbs.anzhi.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=6347421&reltid=6324097&pre_pos=2&ext= ).
I follow this instruction to recover my system to 4.0.3, which I have better control ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1457458
Then I found this "Official Android 4.1.2 ZSLSH Jelly Bean Firmware", which they say it's released in China but can also be install in EU international phones, I succeeded ! This firmware has both english and Chinese language packages. :fingers-crossed:
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/4...icial-android412-zslsh-jellybean-firmware.htm
So overall, ZSLSH works on my phone, but ZHLSH will never I guess.
Thank you all again, and hope this may help others who may encounter this issue in the future !!!!!
I9100 & i9100M has got the same hardware so it should work.

http://www.sammobile.com/2012/11/15/i9100xxlsj-–-galaxy-s-ii-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean-test-firmware/
What i want to know is when the official JB is released will i be able to update using Kies. Currently when i plug my phone into kies it says the current firmware version isnt supported for update.

Since you are already on JB 4.1.2, you will not be able to update to the official version when it gets released.

Just like you flashed the test JB firmware, you can download the stock ICS 4.0.3/4.0.4 firmware for your region, and flash it using Odin. That way, your phone can get the update via Kies.
Or better yet, when the update is released, you can download that firmware manually and flash using Odin!

once you flashed a firmware via odin, kies will not be able to update your device until you go back to the firmware that was last
recognized by kies. To achieve this there are several steps necessary.
So the onliest thing you can do is to go back or find another way to download your desired firmware.
You can also get most firmwares from here. .....

Need help in updating GT-i9100 2.3.5 to 4.1.2 !

Grettings everyone,
As the title says I want to update my Galaxy S2 i9100 via ODIN which is currently running on Gingerbread 2.3.5 to Jelly bean 4.1.2 officially.
As I'm a kind of person who dont want to mess up my device with rooting or mostly dont care about rooting.
I'm on complete stock Gingerbead 2.3.5 with no root apply.
The problem is that I cant update my GT-I9100 via KIES or via OTA (Over The Air).
Here are the basic which info. which I can provide,
"Model No. (GT-I9100)
Android version (2.3.5)
Baseband version (I9100XXKI4)
Kernel Version (2.6.35.7-I9100JPKj2-CL655700 root @dell143 #2
Build No. GINGERBREAD.JPKJ2
and here is the error which KIES shows.
"Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies.
* Current firmware version DA:KJ2/ PHONE:KI4/ CSC:KID(XXX)"
Sorry for my bad English and also if I am posting this on a wrong section.
And I also can anyone also tell me the procedure whether to check my phone is locked or not to just make sure everything go perfect during the update process.
Thanks In Advance !
This has already been covered many times mate! Please use search before posting.
Simply download the appropriate firmware for ur region/carrier (if any) from sammobile.com. Extract it and flash it using Odin. Then do a factory reset.

Just 1 more thing is it safe to download any of the jelly bean 4.1.2 of any country? For example India, Pakistan and update it via odin?
Yes it's safe (altough you should back EFS folder up first).

I found the solution here on xda forums. I don't have the correct link of the thread, because I have sold my i9100 about 9-10 months ago.
But you can search here. I hope you will find it.
Try searching "Galaxy S2 i9100 Lock screen issue after jellybean/4.1.2" .
