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.

Ok just about to finish downloading the 4.1.2 for i9100t from sammobile.
Just to be sure, I'm flashing that over PDA in Odin?
Then flash the SiyahKernal over PDA in Odin too?
Thanks again for your help.

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.

Yes, extract the downloaded firmware.
Select .tar.md5 file as PDA.
DO NOT TICK RE-PARTITION and DO NOT USE PIT FILE (if any).
Flash it.

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?

Have u flashed Siyah kernel?
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.

Nah I didn't, since you said it wasn't neccessary. I tried the unlock code from here https://unlock.vodafone.com.au/voila/handsetunlock/self-service.html?method=selectService
But that doesn't work.
I'll try that app. Thanks.

I'll flash the siyah kernal for the root and try the app mentioned before now.
Thank you guys so much! I've got network now. Can't thank you all enough, I was really starting to freak out.
Just for anyone else that finds this thread in the future through google or whatever:
Flashed latest 4.1.2 with Odin (PDA).
Factory Reset in Settings.
Flashed latest SiyahKernal.
Installed GalaxSim Unlock.
Unlocked, rebooted.
All working.

After running Cyanogenmod 10 along with ClockworkMod, I'd like to flash my i9100G to the just released stock Jellybean 4.1.2.
Do I have to pay attention to anything special or does it suffice to simply flash 4.1.2 via Odin?
Thanks in advance.

As long as you flash JB for I9100G you'll be fine.
Factory reset would be wise, not mandatory tho.

To add to gastonw's advice, don't forget to backup!!
And if u want a prerooted stock JB, use Mobile Odin!

Would you recommend using Mobile Odin? During the last months I've heard about many bricks resulting from Mobile Odin. Is it now safe to use it?
Another question: If I flash via Mobile Odin, can I remove Clockworkmod Recovery as well?
And could someone please tell me whether flashing via Mobile Odin is as safe as flashing via Odin?
bricks via mobile odin? where did you read that?
It's safer than odin because if things go south you can use odin
And flashing any stock ROM will wipe CWM.

Hi there,
I have a I9100 which was running the samsung stock Android 4.0.4 on the 3 network in the UK which I installed CWrecovery on and rooted. I downloaded an official update via the system update function yesterday and continued installing the update not thinking the root would effect anything, however the the install got stuck on the install screen (like the image attached) while constantly flashing on and off every 3-4 seconds, I pulled the battery after and hour or so. When I power on now it just shows the samsung sII logo along with the triangle and then goes straight back to the android install screen, I also can't go into recovery.
What would be the best thing to do in this instance? would re-flashing a recovery program work?
Thanks for any help!
Whatever happens, DO NOT WIPE DATA OR DO A FACTORY RESET! 4.0.4 is prone to the notorious eMMC brickbug!
Try downloading the new firmware manually and flashing via Odin.

U mean using CF Root kernel to root?
For JB, u can root using a custom kernel like Siyah, using Odin. This will install CWM recovery also and give u root access.
Or u can try the Universal Method to root without installing CWM recovery.

I used CF root and odin last time, any advantage to using Siyah, or Universal Method?

Universal method is intended for those who only want rooted stock firmware, but donot want to flash custom ROMs (no CWM recovery).
Some people have reported issues with CF Root for JB, so Siyah is an alternative. I don't think there are any particular advantages.

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

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.

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.

You don't. Forget 4.0.4
If you really want ICS go for 4.0.3
Flash with Odin the same as GB you just flashed. Or root your gb rom and use mobile Odin pro to flash it.
