Thank you.. :thumbup:
It could be because of all the flashing u did previously.
I dont know if it will solve your problem, but maybe u can try flashing a wipe script that will remove all unwanted files and prepare your phone for a new ROM...

On second thought, don't try that. That would require you to root and install CWM.
Have you tried doing a factory reset before and after flashing via Odin?

Hi, I recently updated my Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 from Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.4) to Jelly Bean (4.1.2). I have been using the new OS version for a while now and don't like some of the changes that Samsung have implemented. So I was wondering if there is a way of downgrading the OS back to ICS 4.0.4 (the latest official release). Is there a way to select a custom version in Kies and simply update that way? Or am I stuck with Jelly Bean and will just have to adjust to the changes

If u only want root and not CWM, try zergRush exploit method.
If u want CWM, post ur 'About Phone' details here and let me know.

Search for 'Philz kernel'.

Save it to ur external SD card.

Ohh.. ok..
Flashing via Odin can fail due to a number of reasons, which is why I always suggest Mobile Odin for flashing and stock recovery for rooting.

Most problems are caused by kies. Make sure all kies taks are closed by task manager
Hey Guys,
I've been searching internet for many hours now and I just can't find answer for my question.
Someone brought this phone over from UK, unlocked it, so it's carrier free and I bought this phone.
It has version 4.0.4
I heard that this phone can be updated to 4.1.2, which I've been wanting to do for quite some time now.
I understand that there are country specific updates, but I don't understand which one should I use?
I tried using Kies, but Kies is saying that I already have latest firmware version (although it's 4.0.4)
I would really want to update to 4.1.2, but I don't know which version to use in my case.
Do I need rooted phone to update it?
You dont need root to update to a stock firmware.
You can choose any country's firmware, it wont make a difference. Just make sure its an unbranded firmware.
If your phone does get locked after updating, simply unlock it after rooting.

Since ur on 4.0.4, first I suggest you read about 'eMMC Brickbug' issue on 4.0.4.
Check it with the 'Got Brickbug?' app on XDA.
XDA is full of guides on how to flash a stock firmware. First try searching for it.
If u still cant find any guides:
1. Download a stock firmware from sammobile.com.
2. Download Odin.
3. Extract the firmware into a folder.
4. Put phone into Download mode and connect to PC.
5. Flash using Odin.

My I9100 is not recognised by odin when i connect my phone in Download mode.
I was using official spanish jelly bean rom on my phone but wanted to return to stock rom, first i did a factory reset and cache wipe then tried to connect to odin in download mode but it won't turn yellow.
I did a search and tried
-Closing all kies apps
-restart-remove battery of the phone and laptop
-re-install drivers for windows
-Try on a different pc
-Try on different usb ports

Heimdall is an alternative to Odin.
You can root ur phone using ur stock recovery also (provided u have an external SD card). That way u can flash via Mobile Odin.
