Rooted - Upgrade to JB? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q] Need to update to 4.0.4 but no official update available

Hi!
I have searched this forum and readed all FAQ-s, bus still can't figure what to do in my case. Hope You can help me
So, my phone is
PDA: I9100XWLP7
Phone: I9100XXLPS
CSC: I9100EPLLP5
with ICS 4.0.3 (now rooted with CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5).
My problem is buggy bluetooth stack. I have even didn't notice any problem with bluetooth until buing new car radio with bluetooth (Sony DSX-A50BT). After paring this whit my phone all works well .... but only for 10-15 minutes. After this connection is reset and music player on phone stops. After some searching on the web, I have found that this kind of problem are typical for ICS 4.0.3 and some users reports they resolved it by upgrade to 4.0.4. Ok, but my problem is, that there is no official upgrade available for my phone! (via Kies).
I think is due to strange PDA code "LP7". I thing it is strange because it first letter should code year of production (L means 2012) and second letter should code mount (A for January, B for February etc.) But what mount is for P? (last mouth, December is L )
So I need a little help in answering question: could I safely flash stock ROM with ICS 4.0.4 intended for other PDA?
Could I do the same with some custom ROM?
Or maybe there is another way for fixing my buggy bluetooth? (I have read that some user fixed this problem by replacing four bluetooth related files in his ICS 4.0.3 phone with files extracted from ICS 4.0.4. Unfortunately they didn't say how to extract those files and neither what files he replaced!)
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You can find all official firmwares from sammobile.com.
Yes, you can flash any stock ICS 4.0.4 or custom ROM as long as you are sure its meant for ur device i9100 and there is no carrier branding.
But why go for ICS 4.0.4 when you can flash JB 4.1.2?

Thank you for your replay, but how could I be sure about this? I mean "there is no branding". I bought my phone over internet and it has no carrier software or logos, but I didn't know for sure.
BTW. Did JB 4.1.2 has reliable bluetooth?

That means ur phone is not carrier branded.
JB 4.1.2 has a lot more fixes and features than ICS 4.0.4. I suggest you give it a try first.
And some 4.0.4 kernels are affected by the 'brickbug', so u might wanna be careful too.

On sammobile web site I can find exact match for my phone as "Germany E-Plus". Did it means it is branded? (But on the phone itself I can't find any items from this particular carrier).
What can be consequences of flasing generic stock ROM on a branded phone? (I have risked and flashed my phone anyway - it seems all is ok, but I want do the same for my wife and my daugthers phones but they phones are definitively branded!)
UPDATE: Bluetooth problem seams to go away, but now I'm experiencing sleep of death.

You can use other based ROM that PhilZ & Jeboo kernels support. Then, flash their kernels that root your device. (see their OP for viewing support Rom)

There is very little chance of updating to 4.1.2 manually without losing your data. If you had an OTA update, you wouldn't lose data.
As for flashing via Odin, it is recommended to wipe data when moving from ICS to JB.
But you can always backup data and apps, and simply restore them after updating!
You will lose root too, unless you flash the firmware by Mobile Odin with 'Ever Root' option selected.

Yes, you can update to 4.1.2 by flashing a firmware for another region, and then try to change the CSC after the update.
But I don't know if Arabic language will be there on other region's firmware.

By rooting galaxy s2 4.1.2, you can have a full control over it. In addition, it also allows you to run custom ROMs on your device in future.

Ever root allows you to root a stock firmware while it is being flashed by Mobile Odin. So u don't need to root it afterwards.
For more info, check out the Mobile Odin thread.

Indian Jelly Bean Firmware Problem

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.

[SOLVED] GT-i9100T stuck on Glowing S after flash

Hey guys,
I've got a Vodaphone branded I9100T that I'm using with my Optus simcard in. Over the weekend I was prompted to install a new update, 4.1.2. Without thinking too much, I installed it... and low and behold my network refused to connect.
So in an attempt to fix it, I figure I'd flash CMW10 on it using this thread.
I started with the RecoveryMod it says to install in case of the superbrick bug. All that accomplished was to make my screen black during boot. So, I tried installing stock Optus firmware, and my phone started to hang on the glowing S...
So, I found on sammobile, the stock Vodaphone 4.0.3 firmware and flashed that using Odin and now it still hangs on glowing S.
Any ideas?
Use CWM to factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache then go to sammobile and download the 4.1.2 jellybean. Flash it and to avoid the superbug flash the siyah kernal. Then you should be good to go!

Can I flash CWM using Odin?
Currently the only two states my phone has is the glowing S and "Download mode"... I am unable to access any recovery mode.
Thanks for your reply
Yes first of all download the 4.1.2 for i9100t then flash it, then download the latest s2 siyah kernal, which will be your cwm and flash it with odin.

AFAIK, there is NO 'eMMC Brickbug' issue on 4.1.2. Its only for stock 4.0.4 firmwares.
So I think you can skip flashing Siyah unless you want to root.
A simple factory reset and cache wipe is all that would be needed after flashing 4.1.2 via Odin.

Ok cheers. I've got 4.1.2 back up. My phone is going retarded with notifications (over wifi) now.
Anyway, I'm back to my initial problem, it seems to be network locked on 4.1.2 (it's a Vodaphone AU phone with an Optus AU simcard, simcard worked perfectly fine before update)- It's asking for a sim unlock on boot for some reason. Is there a simple way to get past this?

To unlock ur network, use GalaxSim Unlock app available here on XDA (search for it - its free here). But you have to be rooted to use that.
