Hi,
I am trying to revert to Stock ROM on GT-I9100G. Read all the posts I could find. And still no success.
Everytime I flash a rom in Odin it fails.
Followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
Managed to flash the kernel (KI3) but the rom fails..
Can enter download mode but not to recovery mode
Any advice?
I9100 ?
Flash siyah v5 or v6.
Flash lsj (phone, code & CSC only).

Hi,
Since you have GT-I9100G, i would recommend posting this in the Q&A thread in "GT-I9100G Android Development" section (It's in the Samsung Galaxy S II forum just a few steps down from this Q&A section)
Tell us if you fixed it by going there

There is no troubleshooting section for GT-I9100G, only android development
Whether you edited the OP or I didn't notice the G.
Flash a stock ROM via odin, don't flash any custom kernel.

Thanks for the reply,
Does it matter which stock rom? i mean there are many countries and different versions in sammobile.
Also I already tried some kernels, is there a a way to wipe them away?
Thanks
Yes, it matters.
I9100 & I9100G don't share the same hardware.
Almost everything meant for I9100 won't work on a I9100G neither the other way around.
Flash this.

After running Cyanogenmod 10 along with ClockworkMod, I'd like to flash my i9100G to the just released stock Jellybean 4.1.2.
Do I have to pay attention to anything special or does it suffice to simply flash 4.1.2 via Odin?
Thanks in advance.

As long as you flash JB for I9100G you'll be fine.
Factory reset would be wise, not mandatory tho.

To add to gastonw's advice, don't forget to backup!!
And if u want a prerooted stock JB, use Mobile Odin!

Would you recommend using Mobile Odin? During the last months I've heard about many bricks resulting from Mobile Odin. Is it now safe to use it?
Another question: If I flash via Mobile Odin, can I remove Clockworkmod Recovery as well?
And could someone please tell me whether flashing via Mobile Odin is as safe as flashing via Odin?
bricks via mobile odin? where did you read that?
It's safer than odin because if things go south you can use odin
And flashing any stock ROM will wipe CWM.

Hello, first off i have read through loads of pages, been trying to figure things out for days, but the vast amount of info gets a little confusing, and just looking for a little more help, I have s2 i9100P XXLPH, running stock ics 4.0.3, i couldn't find a cf anywhere for it as the one i tried didn't work, it just stayed at the start up screen, so i downloaded the stock and flashed through Odin to bring it back to normal. I then managed to root it using ExynosAbuse, i then installed busybox. (not sure if i got it from google market or on this site) anyway I want to start trying a few roms but want to know the best way to go about this for my phone, Can i just download a SiyahKernel if so, should i download the latest SiyahKernel S2-v6.0beta4, also does this Kernel install cwm for me or do i need to download that and install it separately as i will need to make a nandroid backup. Sorry i know all this info is probably on the site but as i said it just gets confusing with reading so much stuff, i'm not new to custom roms as i put custom roms on my San Francisco and Huawei Ascend G300. Just need a little kick in the right direction
hi, i tried reviewing a bit about your device. i am using SGS 2 I9100.
http://www.droidevelopers.com/f364/11689-galaxy-s2-variants-i9100-i9100g-i9100p-i9100t-i9100m.html
you can click that link atleast to check the difference.... have you tried the DORIMANX kernel for ICS support.... have you read about the brick bug of SGS2, better to be safe than sorry man. atleast try to find the eMMC check apk and install it to your phone before flashing a kernel. though kernels for S2 now have the eMMC_cap_erase=0. atleast try to check if you have the super brick bug on your current rom. mine just had one before you know.... it was resurrected by JTAGG deadboot option.
http://dorimanx.shine.sk/ - here is the list of the kernels of dorimanx... find the one that has ICS support....
then if the kernel worked. flash the rom you want...
note: if you chose to flash the CM10.1, dont forget to download the dorimanx kernel 9.xx, after flashing the rom JB base, flash a JB kernel.

U can flash siyah v5.0.1, and CWM recovery will be installed too. Or u can flash Dorimanx as it also comes with CWM. It doesn't matter which, because after flashing a custom ROM, the kernel and recovery is replaced by those included in that custom ROM.
U can make a nandroid backup after flashing siyah or dori, and before flashing a custom ROM.

And please note that only stock 4.0.4 firmwares with stock kernel are prone to the eMMC Brickbug. I u do have 4.0.4, you can flash a custom kernel like Siyah, and ur safe.

Re: Whats my next step
You can flash any I9100 ROM/kernel, you might lose NFC capability by doing it.
You've got a lot of Custom ROMs Threads in the Original Android Development Forum. You can check other users perceptions on the ROM in cuestion.
Check out the nuke scripts threads, those scripts may come in handy for clean flash as it wipes previous Custom ROMs leftovers.
It's always good to have Mobile Odin installed, enables you to flash stock ROMs very easily and in a safe manner.
You can get confused if you read a bunch of thread about a bunch of subjects.
I suggest you go from specifics topics to specifics issues related to that subject.
Q&A is a great place to learn about any issue you can get.

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.

From what I read above, I understood this:
- Either u haven't read like u were supposed to
- Or you have no idea about this stuff
Which is it?
BTW, ur looking for Philz kernel (zip file).

You need CWM to flash custom ROMs as well as root.
You can get both by flashing a custom kernel.
Which custom kernel? You can find suggestions all over Q&A.
You ca. use any custom kernel with a custom ROM but It'd be wise to stick to the dev suggestion, on the custom ROM thread.

you need cwm.
and signed . so you can flash it in stock recovery.

DL and flash from your SD card Philz 5.00.4 XWLSS (fixed) kernel and custom cwm. This will also root you.

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

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.
