Does Odin first of all recognize your phone? (is there a yellow highlited box somewhere?)
Do you have the correct drivers instaled on the PC?
Is the usb cable damaged?

Don't update via Kies...Kies=b*lls*it.Update normally via odin.

Yeah....odin recognizes. I usually flash my phone to stock when it is flashed with siyah's kernal. When it comes to custom roms, i would restore to siyah's kernel via backup.
Usb drivers are installed fine. Kies not working in background.

Any suggestion? Anyone?
I came through a post in which they told abt something called csc and modem while flashing through odin.

You need check first whether you have downloaded correct firmware according to your CSC. or use Multi CSC Package,with that you can change your CSC (Consumer Software Customization).

Have a look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43142932. Its a guide to troubleshoot an Odin flash if it fails.

No, but readme
Read the link that veyka mentioned, quite comprehensive.
CF-Root is what I've used, its not difficult but ofcourse make sure u backup and follow the steps correctly.
There is another method using a program called One Click Root, google it. i tried it worked and rooted and automatically installed superuser, but it was weird when i rebooted my phone it was not rooted!, so i used CF-Root method.
I'm only guessing here sorry.
Update.zip from the stock recovery. Never made one to try if it can be done.
Are you not able to use Odin via your computer for the 1st root flash?
If you can then you can use mobile Odin for flashing without the computer after that. Eg. Download Odin compatible firmware/kernel/modem etc directly to your phone then flash using mobile Odin. No pc involved.
Good luck.

At the moment I can't use a PC, maybe in a week or 2 (if I'm lucky 1). That's why I searched for an app. Nothing worked right now.
I appreciate all of your help!

Can I use an update.zip on a stock ROM?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Its been a while since ive seen the stock recovery but I believe you can only use an update.zip with stock.
It's got to be created the right way though. Can't just rename a zip to update.zip.

Reset phone

I want to reset my phone to fabric settings. Its currently rooted and have been flashed 1 time. The reason why is because it won't let me update through software update to ics
What do i do???

Maybe you can check with check fus your original firmware. Download that firmware and flash it.
flashing stock GB rom might solve the issue. try samfirmware[dot]com for your GB rom
Edit: Just noticed your signature with LG!!

You can flash it directly via Odin. Just download the official ics from intratech thread and flash it via odin

Just use mobile odin to flash the stock rom, it gives you an option to keep root

Will it wipe my phone if i flash it via mobile odin, for some reason it wont let me do the OTA update or update it via Kies.
I am rooted but i am still on stock ROM (LF2)

Nope, won't wipe, went from LF2 to LFB with MOdin earlier because I couldn't be bothered to wait for the OTA update to show on my phone

Did you download the stock firmware from sammobile.com. Just go to sammobile.com and download the official firmware according to your country and flash it from odin.

Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in the General section, find it, try the stuff in the thread as many times as you have to in order to get a successful flash of stock to get a 'clean slate'.
