Hi guys,
I got my orange samsung galaxy s2 less than a week. Yesterday after rooting, flashing villianrom, i like an idiot, installed Clearglass 1.6 Theme zip via CWM. After rebooting, the phone has now gone into a boot loop. But since i had a nandroid backup (NOT A ZIP FILE!), i thought i'll simply restore...but i can't! The sdcard won't mount. So then i found THIS THREAD.
After following the instructions, i still can't mount the SD Card, yet it's fine in windows 7.
I also thought i'd try to use the ODIN method to reflash my stock fw, but i can't find the correct kernel version . FYI, i'm from uk and the details of my phone are below:-
MODEL: GT-I9100P
ANDROID VERSION: 2.3.4
BASEBAND VERSION: I9100PBVKI2
KERNEL: [email protected] #2
BUILD NO: GINGERBREAD.BVKI3
PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME! I can't be without my phone
Not sure what you are asking .
Firmware is not kernel whatever your correct firmware is that includes the kernel .
You have a 1900P whatever the P is .
Find the firmware not the kernel here .
Stock Roms .and csc

Alternative
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Still problems use usb jig to set rom counter to zero .
Return to service centre .

Thanks for your fast reply JJEgan. Could you please tell me which stock fw/rom i need to download as the only one that looks close to mine (KI3) is a poland one and i'm in UK.

No idea what your firmware is as you have fl;ashed it .
Based on OP KI3
Then use KI4 CPW UK firmware is what i would do to get back to a working phone ,

Many thanks for showing me the correct version. I wasn't too sure as i didn't want to mess up the phone permanently. So i simply follow the ODIN boot loop guide?
The way it looks to me is that CWM/Phone is corrupted as i've tried everything - mount/format/unmount/re-mount sd, but it won't detect.
OH BTW! Can you please clarify something for me. I thought that since my orange stock rom said "KI3", i must always get a "KI3"....have i got that wrong? if so how can a KI4 work on a KI3 and why is it not necessary to stick with KI3?
Hey there wowandroid, the KI* is, in my humble opinion just a revision number, higher could mean better reliability in terms of signal and perhaps even battery drain
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
thanks AJ. It's just that my i9100 is P model (i9100P) and has NFC capabilities. I've managed to flash the phone back with the ki4 rom, so big thank you to JJEgan. I just thought that because i have a p model, i might end up removing features once i flash with a ki4.
Anyway, now that i've got it working, can i go ahead and use odin to flash villianrom/checkrom back again?

Ok sure!
Best would be just flash a suitable CF Root
And then u will get CWM after that baam install Villan
(LOL 5 min wate took me so long)
cheers mate. I assume from your nick on forum that you've got checkrom? If so, could you tell me how you get a great looking theme installed after checkrom has been flashed? The last time i tried it, i messed up and none of the kitchen apps themes ever changed the looks (just boring samsung looks)

checkrom is compactable with every Theme out there if its built for the latest XWKK5 version which checkrom is on!
So first
1)Install ROM
2)Use there Kitchen Download only any one of the themes, and hit apply and then install (Obviously)
OR
You can Download manually from the Forums any theme or any thing for stock XWKK5
3)After a theme install u will reboot.
4)Then use there Kitchen to flash any mods etc u want
Personally i use this via Kitchen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310527
thanks checkrom. I don't suppose we can chat on skype/msn/yahoo? I just need some help, and could do with instant answers if i get stuck. If you can, pls PM me.
Thank You

hi guys,
i'm about to get started with the update. couple of questions though:-
1. What kernel do you recommend? I need a kernel which gives it the longest battery life if possible.
2. What theme do you recommend? I need a theme which is good eyecandy, but isn't too bloated. Something like this for the villianrom:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1229723
3. Is there a rom posted that has already been customised and tweaked with popular kernels/themes? Saves me messing around.

Bad flash or wrong firmware or faulty firmware .
Backup data first then try a factory reset .
Check your IMEI matches the one under the battery . If not restore your backed up EFS folder .

Yes, formatting through recovery and it did not complete because battery was down.
It does not work at all, so how to re-install !
remove the battery for few sec, then insert an c if its charging?
i did it friend and it does not charge. i changed the cable and i replaced the battery by my brother one and still not chaging
may b its dead if its not showing any sign of bieng active ,like showing the charge sign,going to recovery or download mode then its better take it service center....still check on it ,clean batt contacts,usb port (check for any debris)check ur battery in ur bros mobile to c if it has some juice,and if something is positive then pm me good luck...
Format will have wiped all .
I know as i have just formatted all on purpose .
Download mode and flash stock rom via Odin .

Alter the rule slightly, never flash a beta kernel without knowing the pros and cons

I am using stock rom and keep on having a weird problem, when I plug in my phone to charge the wifi option keeps on turning itself on even if u turned it off
same happens when I put it on mute or vibrate it goes back to sound again on its own
and the same happens even when it is not plugged in
any options?????????????
any ideas to help please?
If u are on XXLG8 stock rom which you probably are there is a known issue if u are using another kernel than the stock one... so just in case check if your ¨stock rom¨ ( debloated, rooted, super user app, and other goodies for stock zipaligned tweaked stock rom) that u probably flashed from the development thread is not using another kernel than the stock one if it is different flash the xxlg8 stock kernel and problems should be solved...
