Please help me!
I've a I9100 updated via Kies to Jelly Bean. I tried to root it but I used a wrong version, a one for the I9000G.
It worked for a while, but now it reboot for ever!!!
I downloaded the official Firmware from SamMobile and flash it (as PDA) by ODIN, but I didn't recovered, It bootloops again!
How can I solve this problem?
Is there a way to download the flash image (I didn't any backup prior to root ).
Thank you very much!

Thank you very much, but I've already solved my problem flashing an unbranded original firmware.
Now I've got only a problem : the updates via Kies are no more available. Why? The firmware is a stock firmware!

I've had the pleasure of owning a Samsung smartphone since October 2010. With that, please trust me when I say this: Kies is rubbish! The amount of stuff this program installs into your PC to do what's easily done by connecting via Mass Storage mode? Nuts! The amount of time it spends trawling the net and using up vital battery power while it runs in background on your phone? Insane! The best way to have a i9100 (or any other Android device) running is with a custom ROM - that way you can at least remove any app or 'bloatware' you don't want before you bring the phone to life.
My advice? In short: totally clean out and factory reset your phone, flash the stock i9100 SamMobiles JB release using Odin, root your phone, choose a custom ROM that you like the look of, flash it in and then discover the brilliance of the i9100 that lies beneath the stock standard offering...

I agree with you, but there is a reason why I have to keep my phone with original software.
Is there a way to make it compatible again with Kies updates?

Yes, install a Samsung-based custom ROM.
As for a reason why you have to keep your phone with Original software, is it a phone supplied by your employer? If so, then it's Yours to do as you please with, because use of the device is part of your salary package. Other than that, all which is altered by installing a custom ROM can be restored, simply by doing a nandroid backup of the original firmware before installing the new ROM...

Hi all,
Anyone having this Wifi speed problem on SGS2 i9100G with Stock Jelly bean 4.1.2?
i download the firmware from Sammobile and flashed to my phone via odin. I did wipe out data before flashing.
This is my phone version
PDA: I9100GXXLSR
Phone: I9100GXXLSP
CSC : I9100GATOLS1
I tested with my phone Speedtest apps Download speed :20kbps
I tried with my friends SGS2 on ICS and getting : 700kbps +
Both tested with the same WIFI network and one to one connection.
Any fix or guide to solve this??
thanks~
Change/Update ur firmware.
Seems like there is a problem in kernel with wife driver.
And I won't think that it's always like this on Jellybean, because it's first time I heard about this.
So maybe a firmware fold or a bad flash.
Much success

Hmm.. alright i will try reflash again.
another question, is the Phone/modems/baseband build related to the WIFI or it is only related to GSM 3g/HSDPA conectivity?

The kernel is responsible for Wifi function.

You can flash kernel alone, instead of flashing the entire rom.
Might work.. might not..
Be careful what u flash. Only flash stuff meant for I9100G.

Thanks for the heads up. :good:

- SOLVED - (Thanks to immortalneo )
Hello, noob here D:
Here's the story.. I recently got a Galaxy S2 i9100. It's updated to the 4.1.2 thingy.
Tried to root it, used odin and CF-ROOT v5.5 in the process. Odin said it was OK but I got stuck on the yellow triangle.
Found a guide, guide said to install Stock Rom.. so I did. (Stock rom is I9100XWLPU_I9100XXLQ6_I9100XEZLP3_HOME.tar )
Now there's no yellow triangle but it's stuck on the flashy S screen.
I never had a smartphone, and I don't understand most of the words people use here (mainly that 'flash it' thing xD )
I tried to look for a post or anything to solve this but kinda failed..
Help?
What you have is called a 'bootloop' mate.. it can be sorted out.
Which android version do u have now? Its 4.0.4 right? 4.0.4 is subject to risk of eMMC Brickbug.
So, I suggest you download another stock firmware (other than 4.0.4) and flash it via Odin.

U mentioned 4.1.2. You also mentioned flashing stock firmware XWLPU, which is 4.0.4.
Yes, simply download a 4.1.2 firmware for ur region from sammobile.com and flash via Odin.
If it still bootloops, boot to recovery and do a factory reset.

Hi,
I have a samsung S2 GT-I9100G,
I was running ICS and a update came through.
I updated my fone and now its hard bricked itself.
The fone turned off to update and neva turned back on.
I dont know how it happened.
I download a Kernel_I9100XXLPH and with that i was able to get download mode working.
I've downloaded a few firmwares to download into the fone,but it just fails
After Reading through the forum i think i have a corrupted nand,
So i took my fone to the fone shop and they told me that they tried to flash it and it wouldn't work.
They advised me to get a new fone
Now ive tried using a few step By step for noobs to fix it, but i cant seem to get it to work.
Since i have a empty fone, i have been trying to download jelly bean into it.
Any help would be great.
Thanks Rafmed
You must have flashed a kernel/firmware meant for the I9100 mate!!
I think ur gonna need a motherboard replacement!

Hi,
Thank you for a reply.
I have been download firmware from the S2 section in XDA.
After reading the forum, that's what i have come up with also.
But i thought i might just ask anyway's before i give up.
Rafmed
The S2 section has firmwares and kernels for both I9100 and I9100G. But both phones have different hardwares and if you mix those files, you will brick ur phone.

Hi,
I did not notice that and will look into it. Thank you.
I already had iCS running, So i have no reason to want to play around with the fone.
I received a notice for an update and i accepted, After i did that the fone turned off and didn't turn on.
I removed the battery and tried to turn on the fone. nothing. After playing with it a sign came up saying that firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again.
But once i connect to kies, it doesn't recognize the fone.

Maybe the downloaded rom is broken or something. Try downloading from another computer or an Internet Cafe. If possible, verify the checksum of the rom to see where it's broken or not.

Status 7 error arises usually when you are trying to flash a rom not meant for ur device. Are you sure you are downloading the rom meant for the I9100? Because some roms are available for multiple devices.

I have come across that status 7 error when being on certain kernels ( not dori though) but came around it by flashing philz kernel then rebooting recovery and flashing rom. Have you tried with another kernel or another version of dori? Hope you get it sorted out GL.

I tried Kernel_Siyah-Dorimanx-V9.32 on flashing rom. For now im able to flash rom from ANDROID ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT section. I noticed those scripts dont have ASSERTS.
But ROMs from ANDROID DEVELOPMENT has ASSERTS, even editing i can not flash...
Can you suggest a kernel which is suitable for problem.
What is your current rom.? Chameleon OS rom (4.2.2) or Chameleon 3.0.3 (4.1.2 hybrid). Are u sure your kernel is dori and not the stock from your rom. Sorry if I ask obvious but just checking. Maybe try flashing philz kernel and the rom. Read up first. I am sort of a noob so don't want to mess up your phone. Good luck.
