Hey guys a friend of mine wanted to upgrade his phone via kies but he forgot his phone was rooted is there anyway he can fix it
On his phone he can access download mods
Some members have reported having issues upgrading via Kies while rooted.
So u have 2 options:
1. Re-flash current ROM via Odin to unroot, then update via Kies.
2. Directly flash the update via Odin (you save one step).

Odin v3.07
See here:

Also, if ur interested, there is a mobile version of Odin that is easier and much safer (but requires root). Search for 'Mobile Odin' on XDA.

Try using a different cable and different port. Disable antivirus. And kill any running kies processes..

Will give u a tip.
Search for 'Philz kernel'.
In the thread you find, look for the XWLSD zip version.
Save it to ur external SD card.
Flash that in stock recovery..
And ur rooted!

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.

Can anyone help me how to unloack my galaxy s2 i9100g bootloader?
Running on 4.1.2 jelly bean.
Please help me
Why not ask or search in this thread?

To unlock bootloader, simply use your phone. One of the few good things about Samsung is they don't lock stuff down, comes already unlocked.
Unless you were getting terminology mixed up and actually wanted something else?

Have you rooted your phone or have you only installed cwm recovery? You can open cwm recovery (=bootloader) by pressing "power+home+volume up" (I hope you knew this ).

I know that
The bootloader was unlocked all the time. Since you flashed cwm, the cwm bootloader is aviliable. What happens when you press "power+home-volume up"?

Since u have both, u can directly flash any custom rom u want to. Just follow the instructions given in the custom rom thread.

I did not perform a factory reset on my phone.
I follow this guide:

My S2 fortunately still works fine. Anyone knows what is going wrong?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Which variant of the S2 do u have?

Just like I thought! The thread u linked is meant for the T989 S2, not the I9100 S2. That is why it fails.
Simply download the correct firmware for ur device from sammobile.com and flash that via Odin.

Oh... OK!... THANKS
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 ?

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.
