I used Odin to do the ClockworkMod Recovery part and it said that it successful, but my phone isn't working, it shows only the logo of Samsung and the yellow triangle and it doesn't go any further than that. How can I fix it please? And can you tell me how I can update my phone into that ROM ?

pleaseeee help meee

Flash stock firmware 4.1.2 with Odin. Do this first then come Bk and report. Don't do any wipes with 4.0.4. firmware from sammobile.com. so to recap get off 4.0.4 and go to 4.1.2 say lsw then come Bk.

Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I dont remember seeing any method for rooting by using odin.
Anyway, get a kernel that works on your phone model specifically. Flash it with odin through download mode. Then use Easy Rooting Toolkit V4 by DooMLoRD to root.
So you have no more details? How are people suppose to help?
I downloaded kies, went through that process then closed kies and used odin, then kernel and uploaded kernel via PDA. And rooted.

Are you on stock kernel or did you flash some release? What release?
---------- Post added at 05:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------
These are some kernels maybe you should consider http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Epic_4G_Touch/Kernels
This section is mostly for I9100.
But, There is a specific section here for your phone and it might be better for you to check it and find resources that are more related to you http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281.
Flash one that you feel OK with and we can help you through if you are still having issues.

[Q] Which kernel to flash to install revolt JB rom?

Hi all. I am using the gingerbread speedmod kernel and I am on gingerbread stock rom. What kernels should I use to install the revolt JB rom? Thanks for any help in advance
Basically any ICS kernel. Most of them work with JB. Siyah kernel is a good choice. But when you flash the kernel, you'll have to install that Revolt rom right away since you won't be able to boot Gingerbread on ICS/JB kernel. You'll just get a bootloop.
Sent from my Galaxy S2 GT i9100
So what you mean is that when I am in odin, flash the kernel, immediately go to recovery mode and flash the rom? But I thought after you flash the kernel your phone will reboot and thus go into boot screen? Unless you take out the battery or something
First flash stock 4.0.3 firmware on your phone. Then install siyah. That'll give you custom CWM recovery. And using that you can install your JB ROM.
Any other way and you'll just be stuck with a bootloop. Hopefully you know all about having a nandroid backup, backing up your efs and basics of using Odin having previously installed a custom kernel
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
You kinda got me at flashing stock firmware and nandroid. How do I flash a stock firmware and do a nandroid backup? I mean I only rooted my phone with a video tutorial so I'm not really that familiar about other stuff...
Thats been done and asked many times over in this forum. Tutorials for all what you've asked are available in the General section. Do have a look at those and search some similar threads. If there's still something you don't understand, you can always ask and people are here to help. But like the rules say, search first mate.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I searched and I found stock firmware with Asia as the region but the country is Malaysia but I live in Singapore. The baseband version is also different. But can it work?
It'll work as long as its the firmware for your device.. ie.you don't flash an i9100G firmware on your i9100 and vice versa. The baseband deals with your signal. That can always be changed at a later stage if necessary.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Oh I understand now. I've searched the forums and found that 4.0.4 ICS which is leaked and may lead to a hard brick. But I can't find any 4.0.3 firmware as it's for i9100G...
Is this the correct thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640812. Sorry if I'm a little paranoid...
Btw my model version is the GT-i9100. And do I download the kernel from the thread above?
Good enough. Download a 4.0.3 firmware from there. In the meantime read up on Odin since you'll need that to install the firmware. There's a huge noobs guide to using Odin somewhere on the forum. And also search for a tool to backup your EFS if you haven't already.
And don't forget to thank the posters. People take time out to help others. Only expect you to hit the thanks button in return :beer:

Firmware (ROM). Not kernel. The firmware is a pretty large download..around 200Mb or more whereas the kernel will barely be 10mb or so. If you only flash the kernel you'll have an ICS kernel and GB ROM. Won't work.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
So do u have to get the kernel from another link? Since the link I showed you is for ICS. So that means any Siyah kernel would be fine as long as it's for my firmware, right?
Is there any chances of bricking of my phone?

No. If you install
the firmware, the kernel comes included in it.
There is just one siyah kernel. Different versions, but its still the same. Download and install the latest version for the S2. ie. v4.1.5 AFTER you're on ICS.

There is always a risk involved. It is minimized to almost near zero levels if you read all the guides and tutorials available on this site carefully. If you're too lazy to do that, then its your fault if you've bricked your device. If there's something you don't understand, use Google. There are instructions/step by step guides/ video walkthroughs/ galore. If everything else fails, ask.
As long as you've not hardbricked your phone with the emmc bug, its almost always recoverable even if bricked. And that's avoidable merely by sticking to 4.0.3.

Yes. If you find your reception isn't good enough you can always change your modem later.

Dorimanx is an XDA dev who works on a i9100 kernel, named after himself. I absolutely love this kernel. It's stable, highly customisable and often updated. Search XDA for it and you shall find.
So you want stock, as evidenced below:

Fish finger (hahaha) all you want is to update to the latest Samsung official firmware right? If so, forget what kona said, you don't need a recovery at all. All you need to do is to flash a stock ROM via Odin, with your phone in download mode. Where to get the ROM? Search on Samfirmware.com for a stock ROM for your country, region & carrier. Then, to flash in Odin, you can click the link in my signature and find a handy link to a tutorial from there.
