It seems like its stuck at flashing MLO (up there its written HIDDEN) it stuck for 30 minutes. Or do I need to unplug? Or do I need to flash a three files type?
Now using:
Sony Xperia tipo ST21i
stock 4.0.4
11.0.A.4.22
(rooted, locked bootloader)
Current problem:
Cant get past installing flash drivers in xp.
Please do not create duplicate posts. You have already asked in this Q & A section for the I9100G. Your question will soon be answered.

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?

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.

You might want to read about the eMMC Brickbug issue on 4.0.4. And also make a backup of ur EFS too.

Which guide/tutorial would you suggest using?
techzune.com/tutorial-how-to-upgrade-samsung-galaxy-s2-to-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean/ would this be ok?
I'm a bit unsure because each tutorial has different 4.1.2 update size

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
What can be the problem ?
Which version of Odin are u using?
Have u tried other odin versions?

I have odin 3, i think 1.85 is the version number.
I will try other versions yet this version was working just fine a couple of weeks ago.
Also try disabling any antivirus or firewall too.

Come to think of it, u can also use Mobile Odin instead of Odin. Less fussy and more safer!

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.

Hello,
Firstly, sorry for my poor English.
I've broken my s2 entire screen (shows nothing) and i am planning to repair it. I still have a warranty on this phone, but i am afraid, that that guy, who will be repairing my phone will see, that i have custom binary count:2. My question is: can i reset that counter without USB jig?
Best Regards,
Eduard.
Depends on what firmware u have.
There is an app called Triangle Away that can reset the counter on ICS & JB. But it requires root, and you would need a working screen to use it.
