Hi Guys,
I'm sorry for the perhaps inane question, but I can't seem to get this to work:
I need to flash back to a branded t-mobile UK rom, as my phone has stopped recognising the sim card (sim works in other devices, working sims don't work in the s2) and I need to send it back to t-mobile for a warranty repair...
I never went too far into customization, and always stayed with official roms - just the more updated ones.
Anyway, now I try to flash back using these roms (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928), and it won't work... Hangs right at the last minute of the download:
Code:
<ID:0/018> Now Writing.. Please wait about 2 minutes
<ID:0/018>
<ID:0/018> Receive Response form LOKE
<ID:0/018> Complete(Write) operation failed.
That's the last thing I see...
I'm about to try the last of the 3 roms, but not holding out too much hope.
So, my questions are:
Will having an unbranded but official rom still invalidate the warranty?
How can I get one of these roms to work?!
Any help would be hugely appreciated.
Cheers,
Mike
Incidentally, I have tried and tried this, and searched for anyone solving the same problem (eg. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369452), but to no avail.
And I'm still trying, somewhat desparately! I can flash some roms to get the phone booting - but none recognise the sim card (which makes me think it's a hardware problem, not software).
Again, your help would be hugely appreciated!

If the ROM you're using is a Stock ROM despite being unbranded, there shouldn't be any problem. I recently send my HTC Desire with a Stock ROM to Vodafone support and didn't said nothing about it not being a Vodafone ROM.
As for the ROMs, try to flash the same PDA version as the ROM installed to see if it works without problem.
It does sound like a hardware problem.
I'd flash T-Mobile UK BOKG2 Firmware via Odin, reset the counter with a USB jig and send it back to T-Mobile.

Thanks AzureusPT: I'd definitely argue that there shouldn't be a problem with there being a Stock rom on there.
I'm not 100% sure what you mean by flashing the "same PDA version as the Rom installed"; could you elaborate? The last ROM I managed to get working was XWKI4 - and that was wicked (save for the lack of sim!).
Spannaa: I can't get any of those firmwares (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928) working via Odin... Am I being a complete noob?
When I flash these roms, the phone reboots, then gets stuck at the boot animation. I did notice that when it's installing it says something about being unable to write to 'system/csc/TMU' or something similar; could that have something to do with it? If so, is there anything I should be doing to make that work?!
Not sure what you're doing wrong but, after rooting my sgs2 using CF-Root, I checked I could get back to stock by flashing the above firmware via Odin (following the instructions here).
OK. I'll take you through my process, and see what you think!
I download the pair of files (firmware and kernel).
I extract these zips into a directory.
I open ODIN3 v1.85.
I put the kernel in PDA
I put the firmware in CSC (I have tried a few combinations of these)
I hit start.
Now, sometimes it gets stuck at the end of the copying process (just before the reboot). If I reboot manually it tries to install.
Other times it appears to install properly (ODIN says PASS! though the phone does have an error as above (unable to write to 'system/csc/TMU' or something similar).
Then it gets stuck on the boot animation.
It works fine with these firmwares: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278, but they're not branded to t-mobile.
I'm worried that if I send it off they will say I've voided the warranty by installing non-t-mobile firmware. I've always stuck with official firmwares to be on the safe side - but now I seem stuck with unbranded ones.
Any thoughts?
I am so sorry... I'm a complete idiot.
I seem to have completely missed the very top sticky on this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499
This is the one that's helped. I'm now back on branded ROM, and all is well. Thank you one and all for your help and patience... please don't flame me!
One more question. How do I know if I need to use USB jig? As far as my phone goes I don't have the yellow triangle, and it says "Custom Binary: No" on the boot loader when flashing a rom... I've only ever installed official roms (no custom roms) - so does this mean I'm safe warranty-wise?
If I need USB jig, can this be done via software, or do I need the dongle?

**** man what are you doing???? Firmware and kernal both get flashed in the PDA section. So you can only flash 1 at a time. First firmware then kernal if required.
The firmware should already have a kernal built in.
Try again.
Edit: While I was posting it seems you got it sorted.

Thanks sxi200... Like you say, I got it sorted, but that's good to know for next time!
So the firmware has the kernel built in, so that doesn't need flashing - unless all I've done is root with an unofficial kernel - correct?
Any thoughts on the USB Jig thing?

Yep. You only really need to flash a kernal when you want a custom one like cf root, speedmod, siyah etc. These can add things like root, cwm recovery for custom rom flashing, overclocking ability etc.
As for usb / download mode jig its mainly used to remove the yellow triangle and binary counter which show after flashing unofficial kernals in Odin. Its also an easy quick way to get into download mode. I bought one off eBay for $2 delivered.

In download mode, if there's no yellow triangle and it says
Custom Binary Download: No
Current Binary: Samsung Official
then you don't need the USB Jig.
Thank you guys! I really appreciate that! I can go back to the t-mobile shop with my head held high!
I really appreciate all your help!
Hi there can't post in Development so here will have to do...
Ex SE Satio user moved over to android SGS2 and got one late last year from CPW (Car Phone Warehouse), Unlocked and with cpw stock firmware, I think it was XEU or one of the general ones, I rooted it using odin and was happy as larry, until the proximity chip failed, so I rehashed it back to Out Of Box and sent it back.
Great Then then sent it back with a different firmware, I'm still getting my head together with this but I'm sure I cant find it? and there is hardly anything online about it.

Well if you want to root flash a cf root kernel via odin from the original development thread.
Also check out infratechs thread to see if he has this firmware there incase you need to revert back, once rooted just make a backup via CWM either via recovery mode or using the CWM app that comes with cf root.

But I thought that when you rooted your device it had to be identical, I could flash Ice Cream, but then I wouldn't have anything to back up to if my device blobs?
O2 say's I shouldn't have this firmware and so does Samsung, Kies actually said..
"Your device does not support software upgrading via kies"
I's that odd?
Don't worry about it, if you've got an o2 model just flash the latest UK firmware for o2, again in infratechs thread or maybe sammobile. You can flash o2s CSC anyway that will give you back the splash screen and such.
For now if you want to root, cf root is the easiest then flash away using CWM any of the plethora of roms available.
I suggest you flash a stock rom from Infratechs thread so you can update to the latest if you want LA2, then use CF Root to root. Then if you want ICS just flash that via CWM.
You can also use Checkfus (search on here) to find/download the latest firmware for your phone/carrier.

Its not O2 firmware its CPW firmware CPW is the clue
KD was a very very old firmware May 2011
What has the firmware to do with O2 its not an O2 phone .
UPGRADE CHOICES
One ask CPW service for an upgrade
Two wait for KIES upgrade if CPW upgrade KIES .
Their should be a CPW firmware and most definitely an O2 Firmware in the branded providers rom section .Or via CheckFus that should give you a backup of whats on the phone .

As you said JJe, it is a CPW rom, and I knew it was an old one, but it's odd that CPW are sending refurb phones out with such an old ROM on it. I've decided to bite the bullet and go with the original ROM that I got with my first phone...
Product Code: GT-I9100LKACPW
Version: Android 2.3.3
HIDSWVER: I9100XWKE7/I9100CPWKD1/I9100XXKE4/I9100XWKE7
Bypassing this and going for...
I9100XWKI4/I9100CPWKH1/I9100XXKI1/I9100XWKI4 (2.3.4)
This is the original firmware plus KIES update to 2.3.4! I know that CPW were sending NEW phones out with this, so this will have to be my BackUp If my hardware blobs.
I'ts a shame I couldn't find the original ROM/Kernel. Checkfus did come in handy after all.
Many thanks for your help and patience you 3.
Now I just got to cope with FBI shutting down MEGAupload, as most of the Rom's etc reside there.
hey ya, lets say someone i know (wink ;D) is employee at carphone warehouse, and to tell you a fact, the repair centres tend to care very little if youve changed the firmware, at most they will charge you £10 to 'upgrade' the software to the latest official release, if you cant find it, i really wouldnt worry to much, most staff dont even realise what the yellow non stock firmware triangle is, though i would be sure to get rid of it just incase you get one clever clogs but for the most part, no big worry really
Just my luck flashed new ROM and i'm gettin "The process.com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" every 5 minutes when i'm navigating through menus and that.

Make sure you have wiped data/cache and dalvik cache via recovery (If you have CWM recovery) otherwise pick a rom from the stock rom thread that says wipe, flash it via odin, then flash the new rom you want.

Turns out that it's incompatible with my sim card, the phone works fine when I remove it, but as soon as I put my sim back in I get the same error?
CF-rooted fine,CWM etc ok, but still this error, might have to try another ROM
Sussed It!
Flashed to XXI1, then flashed the CF-Root Kernel and wiped it, looked like veyka, it was my Backup that I was Restoring, because now it works fine with the SIM card, something from the Backup from that ROM was incompatible with XXI1!
Got just a DATA backup on CWM from main backup, will see what I can restore safely!
Got Yellow Triangle, no Jig. will try SuperOneClick method
Trial and error eh?
Thank you again. (buttons pressed.)
I recently soft bricked my SGSII after trying to update firmware using Odin. The phone was rooted and i had an ICS rom which was working fine, but i wanted to restore my apps and contacts that i lost when i installed the rom.
Anyway, i couldnt fix it myself no matter what i tried so i sent it away to get JTAG repaired and now its back to normal. When i got it back, it was running XWKK5 firmware which wasnt the original.
Anyway, when i plug the phone in, Kies recognises it and works fine, but in the firmware section, it says "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies".
My carrier (Optus Australia) should be releasing the official ICS update in the next few weeks and i really want it but it appears Kies wont do it. Is there any way to work around it. After my previous experience i'd rather not have to use Odin if i dont have to.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
ok, first of all, obviously, you don't need kies to get that ics rom, because whenever it will be pushed to the users, it will already be available for flashing with odin. so there is absolutely no need for you to get your phone to work with kies again.
also, one might mention that you clearly know, this is a question, as you marked it with [Q], however, failed to post in the Q&A section, but don't worry about it. i reported it, so it will be moved in the correct section.
what i am really interested in, is your pre story:
you soft bricked your phone? then you say it was working fine but you wanted to restore contacts and sent it out for jtag repair? i'm sorry, but that does not make any sense to me, do you maybe want to shed some light on that? if you asked on xda first, some expensive repairs might become obsolete, such as an apparent "jtag contact restore".

sorry about the lack of clarity with that. i rooted the phone and installed the ics rom. it was working fine but i couldnt restore my apps, contacts etc from the backup i made so i decided to go back to the stock gingerbread. i got the firmware, flashed it with odin, but it crashed halfway through and the phone wouldnt work. i could get to download mode but when i tried to flash other firmware or do other things to fix it that people on xda told me, they didnt work.
after trying everything, then i sent it for the JTAG.
like i said, i dont really want to have to use odin, i'd rather use kies. is there a way to do that or do i have to use odin?
oh, ok, that explains it.
unfortunately, you will have to flash the device through odin at least once more to get to the point, where it will be recognized by kies again. apparently, your current rom kk5 is not meant for your device (your carrier, your region etc.) so you will have to find a rom, you are certain, is available for you and contains your csc.
then download it from intratec's official rom thread or samfirmware and flash it through odin, following the procedure exactly. if you flashed an XW or XX rom, make sure to change the csc to your original one after flashing, enter *#272*yourIMEI# and select your original csc, your device will be wiped in that step.
after that, kies will eventually (it might take a few days and a few connection attempts) recognize your device again and offer you the update to the latest version for your region.
if it doesn't and gives a specific error message, you should use the forum search with that error message. there have been a lot of threads regarding updating through kies and phones not being recognized, but first you should bring your phone back to stock conditions, so kies has a chance of getting it.

Hi all,
tried to root my phone with jeboo_kernel_i9100_v1-2a.tar using Odin3 not realizing my phone was an I9100p (they look the same ,almost). Anyway it booted up but i had no signal guessing this was due to it being the wrong kernel? I then tried to flash to CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5 this gave me only a bootloader screen. I rebooted jeboo_kernel_i9100_v1-2a.tar and i can now use my phone again but without the signal, i do however have super user and CWM on my phone. Im thinking its probably best to give up so ive found the original firmware i need : I9100PXXLSS . unfortuently all copies seem to be on hotfile which has recently been closed. Anyone got this firmware they could send to me? Thanks.
try to search for I9100XWLSW_I9100XXMS2_I9100XEULS5_HOME.tar and flash that.
also you can visit sammobile, they provide good and updated firmwares
And where do you think the OP went to look for this firmware first ?
OP - Samfirmware are still in the process of migrating their stuff to Terra, they started with the most recent firmwares & are working their way back. Try AndroidFirmwares.net & Samsung-Updates.com; if they don't have what you need, you'll either have to flash something else or wait until Samfirmware have what you're looking for back up again. You don't need to flash the exact firmware that was on the phone to get it working again. If your aim is to root the phone & flash a custom rom, any firmware for any country/carrier will do (but don't use 4.0.4). If the intention is to simply go back to stock & stay stock, use any other rom for your carrier (again, stay away from 4.0.4 just in case you decide to root it or whatever).

Hi all,
I am a newbie and don't know much. So please bear with me.
I was trying to root my Galaxy S5(SM-G900H) by using the tutorial given on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696537 but the process did not go as planned as keep struck on recovery.img on odin3.10 so I googled and found that changing USB port will help so I take out the battery changed the port and try again but this time I soft-bricked the phone as odin struck on cache.img and now when i try to start my phone I get Firmware upgrade encountered. So now I again googled and found about unified toolkit and install it on my windows 10 ,now when i choose option 6 (i.e. flash stock boot image to your device) it says waiting for usb debugging to be enabled ,now I remember I turn USB debugging on but it is still struck here. Now what should I do? My parents gave this phone just a week ago and I am in deep trouble.
P.S.-I am only able go into the download mode not recovery mode.
Boot into Download Mode and use Odin to install the original firmware. Might require a factory reset after if still bootlooping. Here is a link to 6.0.1 from Sri Lanka https://mega.nz/#!YMAFhR4a!pZmf7OEWgzDzET1FLGsAOQ5XyVlvE8y4pJfB8KDNbMI . Any region firmware should work for the F model. If you want your specific one then check sammobile.com. I just linked to the other because it is a much faster download.
Problem encountred while installing original firmware
I tried to use Odin to install original firmware , I started the process but Odin got struck on sboot.bin (Also I read somewhere that whole process does not take more than 10 minutes). So please help me.
Which firmware did you try?
You might be able to use Kies to recover your device as well.

Oh geez...no wonder it isn't working. i9500 = S4. Really gotta be careful with that kind of thing.
INU is for unlocked from the factory
INS is for phones from a carrier
Either one should work. As mentioned, with the G900h, any firmware should work that is for that model, no matter the region. Use the one I posted and change the language or grab the one for India from sammobile.com though it'll take an hour or 2.
Edit: I see that it was just mislabeled as i9500, but the download says g900h after all.
Were you on 5.1.1 or 5.0 before you started this process?

Should I use PIT or try something else than Odin. Anything that might help please tell me. I have got this phone just a week ago and my parents are not gonna give me a new one so please help me.
I keep encountering sboot.bin error ,maybe there is a way to resolve it?

I want to know one more thing on the above link there is a custom firmware and there is a custom ROM with bootloader and all. So should I flash custom firmware or use the instructions given on thread to flash custom ROM?
The custom rom does not include bootloader and modem. You will need to flash via Odin if you were not on the same firmware as the software is based off of. I would flash them anyway, to be safe. You can skip the root part as it is not need. Follow the instruction in post 2 for stock rom users minus the root part. Make sure to boot directly back into TWRP recovery before it attempts to boot. You can load rom on SD card and any additional add-ons you want. Plenty of youtube guides on how to use Odin to flash TWRP and such.

Finally seen some progress, thank you very much. I successfully flashed TWRP recovery, but I got a couple of questions. Firstly I should flash ROM from recovery mode and then go to download mode to flash boot-loader and Modem files right? Should I flash ROM from SD card? And if this custom ROM causes problem is there a way to get to stock ROM? And is this custom ROM rooted or I have to root it via CF-Auto root or try anything else?
Rom might work without bootloader and modem. Just depends on your previous firmware. I would try and flash it though as it was recommended. Rom flash from SD card or internal. Either way should work. You will be able to go back to stock if you can find a firmware that works. It is already rooted.
