I'm downloading the newest Jelly Bean update over OTA (settings/about/update) right now.
If I don't like it I would like to return to my current XWLPT 4.0.4 over Odin, but there is that brick bug that I want to avoid.
Is there a XWPLT with siyah kernel that works with Odin so I can safely go back to 4.0.4?
Thanks ALOT for your time ans answer, will +REP!

I´ve had some bad and scary experiences trying to move my GS2 from Illusion-ICS v1.0.1 XXLPB-I9100 (kernel 3.0.15-XXLPB-CL99600) to ICS 4.0.4 via CWM.
Can anyone point me to an Odin flashable ICS 4.0.4 compatible with my current rom?
thanks in advance
number of roms in dev section ,see which fits u...
I´ve been browsing for ages but they all seem to be CWM.
You are going to have to read every single rom post to find an Odin flash if their is such a custom rom ..
100 CWM flashed today no problem .
4-04 rom do you mean non Samsung rom as 4-04 is not a Samsung release .

Samsung did to start rolling out the 4.0.4 ICS.

I don't know where you get your information... latest Samsung stock firmwares are 4.0.3 still.
As of right now, the only 4.0.4 firmwares are AOSP or AOKP.
Cm9 got a special Odin ROM for people like you.
Hi guys. I am a new user in this forum and I really liked here. The question is I installed the latest official 4.0.4 for the nordic countries. I am on Tugapower 1.1 and on siyah kernel 3.4.1. I did not like 4.0.4 much and I want to go back to zeta rom 3.1. The best rom so far for me. But I saw that many user bricked their phones while trying to go back to aokp 4.0.4 or 4.0.3. I dont want to brick my phone like that. Emmc brick bug says sane chip. I am also on siyah but I am really scared to brick my phone. What can I do for a safe return to 4.0.3. Thanks in advance.
Siyah should be safe. But, for extra care, just flash a 4.0.3 Stock rom in odin and do wipe from there
I have to use 3g and no wifi avalible here. So I cannot download official 4.0.3 within a week or something. I have litening rom 3.6 tar.md5 file. It is 4.0.3. If I flash it, can it cause a brick. If siyah is totally safe, it would be perfect for me.
I wiped for 3 times in siyah when i am on 4.0.4. rom from cwm. Also I flashed a few different 4.0.4 on cwm. Nothing happened. Can 4.0.3 cause a brick. Is installing from cwm more risky than wiping.?
Roms in cwm format often do wipes in their scripts. Siyah is safe, 4.0.3 also
Thank you. In my country it is midnight and I have to sleep. I will flash zeta rom after 10 hrs. I will look at this topic when i woke up and if dont see any problem about flashing zeta rom, i will flash it and get rid of this 4.0.4 rom. Thanks again.
Finally I went back to 4.0.3 without promlem. Siyah is totally safe. I advise siyah to everyone who want to go back to 4.0.3 from 4.0.4.
4.0.3 vs 4.0.4

1. the Brick bug comes with Stock ICS 4.0.4 kernel, and if you flash 4.0.4 firmware, then you will have a "brick bug" kernel, but this doesn't mean your device is bricked. I believe you already know what can brick your device already
2. Your flash counter will never change
3. It's better to stay away from hardbrick rather than preparing to solve it. If you read the guides/ instructions and can ask good questions as you are doing right now, then you shouldn't hardbrick your device.

Thank you very much so I will stay away from this update until Jelly bean one comes out or a better firmware for 4.0.4.. as I am interested only in stock kernels and rom..

If you are interested in stock kernels then stay away from CWM recovery, very simple.
Why? because, the stock kernel of Jellybean update will most likely come with the bug.

So the only way for me to update and be sure of no brick is, either use Siyah kernel after 4.0.4 I9100XWLPX flash or flash 4.0.4 and hope there is no need for CWM (as I understand CWM is needed in case the flash gets stuck?), or flash and don't care until february 2013 when my warranty expires..
Sorry if these Q's. are a bit noobie

there is another way like in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619525
but is not the best way.
I was waiting my warranty expiration but there is no misteries to install a secure kernel and start installing custom roms.
i'm much happier with my CM10 than with my 4.0.3 touchwiz

1. yeah, the only way to ensure no brick after update is to flash a custom kernel. Some of the kernels you can flash include: SpeedMod kernel (very close to the stock kernel), Siyah kernel, Dream Kernel, Dorimanx Kernel etc. But seriously, you should consider this option. If you want to claim warranty, you can just simply flash the original stock kernel.
2. If you flash and you get stuck, you can also use the stock recovery. but you shouldn't get stuck anyway.
3. If you flash 4.0.4 now, you will still get Jellybean in November even before your warranty expires and If there is any need to claim warranty, you can always have your phone back to the previous state.
I recommend option 1. Update to 4.0.4 and flash a custom kernel.
good luck
Hi all when i flashed the firmware,i realised the firmware was 4.0.4. BUt when i saw it from sammobile, it was clearly for 4.0.3(i dont know what happend). So how do i downgrade the firmware? Do i just flash the 4.0.3 firmware?

Yes,why do u want to create one more thread for this ma8
Reading your other threads,I think you need to make your mind up what you want.
If you are not capable of determining between 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 firmware,then post your firmware and Ill post a link for you to click on........lol
Well erm im pretty confused myself... I wanted to install the 4.0.3 firmware.so i went to sammobile.i downloaded 4.0.3 buft when i flashed it,i it came up as 4.0.4 and im so confused because on other threads they say 4.0.4 has a hardbrick bug. So now i want firmware version 4.0.3
So what i want is 4.0.3, but my current firmware is 4.0.4. How to i downgrade it?

You need:
-stock firmware (just download any 4.0.3 firmware from sammobile.com)
-odin
-correct Samsung USB drivers
and follow these steps here

hey dude, if u have siyah kernel and if u flash stock ICS 4.0.3 firmware thro ODIN then the siyah kernel will be replaced with the stock 4.0.3 firmwares kernel and ur phone will be unrooted
Oh.. Okay. Thanks. Btw is aroma installer with the siyah kernel or it has to be downloaded separately?
Isnt aroma installer included in a rom.If so,what do you want it for if your using stock rom.
If your thinking of using a custom rom,then why are you bothering changing to 4.0.3 stock.
Using like the siyah kernel on here you will not be affected by the brickbug as the cap erase is disabled.
This is why you need to make your mind up as youll end up in trouble.
hi whenever i start up my phone when i flashed 4.0.3, it will say android.process.acore has stopped and leaves my phone unusable. what do i do now?
oh nevermind i fixed it. Thanks for all your great help! im on revolt JB now
I thought Im the only one who's been fooled by sammobile. I got the same situation..
I've downloaded all (as attached) and I flashed my device with this ROM; I9100DXLPF_I9100OLBLPF_XME, from sammobile.
It says 4.0.3, but turns out after flashing it, actually is 4.0.4 (About Phone properties).
Im not 100% sure. Is it safe for me to do this steps?
1) With Odin, I flash other official rom from sammobile (I9100DXLPB_I9100OLBLPA_XME or I9100DXLP9_I9100OLBLP9_XME).
2) If the flashing process successful, let the phone reboot (and I don't go into stock recovery to ANY wipe!!!)
3) I just continue use it since data is still intact.
Please warn me if any one of my methods above is dangerous..

ICS is not really a very good rom and I would recommend KK or JB
you should be good if you go from a GB firmware to a JB one
or if u want you could flash a custom kernel in odin and then flash a KK ROM like CM11 or Slimkat

It`s very safe to flash Jellybean or Kitkat. Download the latest jellybean from sammobile and flash it with odin.. Look around for tutorials how to. Note that you will lose all your data, but your phone will 100% work. That brickbug was only on 4.0.4 version.. To be sure and safe flash jellybean and after that flash PhilZ-cwm6 - Safe Stock Based Kernel. If you need more info, i`ll help you. Cheers!:good:
