Hello Everyone,
Android OS downloaded an update file of Jelly Bean which I did not want to install but it kept coming back after pushing it forward.
Today, by mistake, I accidently pressed the Install button and the phone is now stuck at boot up screen.
I am (was) on ICS.
I tried connecting the phone with Samsung KIES, but the phone status shows as "Connecting"
I have downloaded ODIN and I would like to go to any rooted firmware (preferred). But I am not sure if I can root from this situation. I may have to recover to boot properly and then root, as I do not want to lose any data.
However, I have never done it and I get confused on which firmware to download for my phone based out of India.
The details I could fetch under the phone battery are :
-------------
Model : GT-I9100G
SSN : -I9100GGSMH
FCC ID : A3LGTI9100G
-------------
Can anyone direct me to the file URLs to download to recover from this position ?
Any thread giving a detailed procedure will be appreciated. I would not like to wipe the existing data over the phone, hence I have not tried the factory reset.
I have gone through :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2345831&highlight=odin+won+t+flash
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969 >> Will this ODIN version work on my S2 model ?
Also, I do have an external SD card, if possible, can I load any rooted / normal firmware through it ?
Thanks a lot for all your help !!!
Regards,
Sam

Hi, Thanks in advance for reading and helping me out with this issue.
Here are my phone information.
Model no: GT-I9100
Android Ver: 2.3.3
Baseband Ver: I9100CCKDH
Kernel Ver: [email protected]#2
Build no: GINGERBREAD.XWKDD
My phone is from Singapore so the original firmware should be the asian one (DXKI2). I wanted to root my phone so i followed instructions from this article.
Article url: androidadvices. com/ how-to-update-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-i9100-to-gingerbread-xwkdd-2-3-3-firmware
I followed everything it said, which was to first upgrade the firmware to XWKDD before rooting. I did not wipe any data before the upgrade. So at the end ODIN reflected a pass (green color) and i unplugged my phone. However it entered boot loop and i used the stock recovery mode to flash a stock kernel (DXKH2) to my phone. It seemed to have returned back to factory state but when i check my phone settings it reflected the different versions as mentioned in phone information above.
Please help as i have the conception that all version should be the same but mine is kinda all over the place. Am i wrong?
Secondly, KIES now does not recognise my phone's firmware when i plug it into the computer but i can still access my files through it. Why is that?
Thirdly, where should i go from here to root my phone? Please help provide me with answers and links so that i can eventually root my phone properly and install cyanogenmod onto my phone. I would really appreciate if someone could help answer my questions and give me step by step help for my problem. THANKS!!

Very old KDD firmware with looks like KH2 rooted kernel .
Secondly, KIES now does not recognise my phone's firmware when i plug it into the computer but i can still access my files through it. Why is that?
No codes match on Kies server .KDD and KH2 mix is not a known product .
One upgrade firmware to stock newer version Root phone if you need root to matching version as per instructions .
Stock Roms .and csc

I am unsure of what do you mean.
However, what i did was to use ODIN and flash the stock kernel for DXKI2 for my phone. I made a mistake in telling you that my original firmware was DXKH2.
Now the phone's build number is still GINGERBREAD.XWKDD.
When I connected my phone back to the computer, KIES cannot read the phone as it says that i have to use the KIES PC studio mode to connect. This error did not take place before hand as KIES would automatically connect to my phone.
What should i do now? I don't know whether my phone is using the latest XWKDD firmware so it may not be ready for rooting. What should be displayed on my phone in order for me to know that the firmwares are ready to be rooted?
Please help me ASAP as I am afraid I have screwed up my phone. I dont even know how to bring it back to original factory settings and everything.

Mr. Egan showed you the links where to get your answers. Click on them and read and you will find everything you need, XWKDD is a firmware version that is ancient and outdated. You should flash new software for your country/region

Normally appears when you have a kernal rom combination that does not correspond to the phone carriers current loadout.
Is the phone absolutely stock - no flashing been done by you?
If you have not done anything and you bought it from a store take back and ask for a replacement because you cant guarantee the security of the phone.
If you have flashed it - then flash the phone provider stock rom using Odin and you should be about to update it using KIES - personally I would rather download the latest rom and flash directly with odin or mobileodin as Kies updates can take upward of 3 hours.
Check the link in the reply above it has everything you need.
Thanx
Thanx guyz
flashed the kernel and its working fab
Which ROM you utilized to flashing your phone, because I'm in the same situation
Hi guys,
have a question here
have a T-Mobile branded Galaxy S2 I9100 running 4.0.3. Due to the last update, i decided to flash the latest samsung stock rom in order to get rid of t-mobile branding and the possibility to update ( with Kies ) whenever newest rom is relased by samsung.
Followed the rules of flashing with odin given hier on the forum and everything went fine. Now if i check with *#1234# i get the I9100XENLP5 version of the firmware, which is good, but some problems remained and a new one appeared.
1- I didn't get rid of any bloatware apps of t-mobile and can't uninstall them either.
2- Connecting the phone to Kies does not show the firmware version of the cellphone but it says " Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies"
Is there a way to just flash the Galaxy S2 totally free of T-Mobile branding and after that to still be able using Kies for future updates?
Thanks in advance

Yes
No
Flash a stock rom will remove TMobile stuff
You may lose your Kies update path .

just flash any of the roms from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487 that say unbranded on them
although i think you wont be able to update using kies but why would you want to anyway? Odin is so easy to use
Thanks guys for all your fast answers.
I solve it, found somewhere in another Galaxy S2 forum that after a flash you need to boot again in recovery mode and do a wipe/factory reset. This hepls to reset / rewrite the csc code ( TNL to XEN, in my case ).
This is from an other forum...
"One last final step is to change your CSC code by typing this code in the phone dialer *#272*<your IMEI># (the code will be listed at the top of the screen. If you're coming from O2 PAYG handset it should say O2U. Now Enter recovery (volume up, home, power keys together) and do a factory reset and choose reboot phone Check your CSC code again Hopefully it will now say XEU "
Maybe this final step can be added to the "Odin Flash guide " found on xda to prevent future threads like mine.
Cheers and thanks again

I couldn't find that here in the Intratechs user guide ( forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 ).
I used the XEN stock rom from his site, was no CSC file inside the archive itself beside the XEN rom.
Dear Xda-Developers and forum members,
I have some problems with my galaxy s2 and want to give it back for repair.
Therefore it is necessary to unroot the device, reset the custom rom counter and remove everything what's not stock.
I want to get the device back to android 2.3.4 and need help.
This is what I have tried :
Odin Flash Kernel (fail -> screenshot attached)
Odin Flash stock rom (fail -> same as last screenshot)
Kies firmware recovery (weird japan/chinese error message I could not ready?!)
Now I cannot use the phone at all, because it shows an firmware upgrade issue. (screenshot attached)
Can you please tell me what to do?
A step by step instruction would be great. For personal support (via im or skype) I can offer a small donation
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300. It has CyanogenMod installed. I would like to flash it back to stock firmware but I am having trouble locating the correct version.
*#1234# Does not display anything, only "Invalid Connection or MMI Code Error".
I have downloaded a version from samsung-updates.com, it is XXEMC2, BTU region. Can I flash this and it will be fine? Or do I need the actual version which came with the phone (which I don't know).
I have attached a screenshot of my phone details screen, in case it helps determine which firmware I need.
Also, I tried to run triangle Away, it said it successfully cleared the binary count, but in download mode it remains at 4, no idea if this is relevant or not though.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
yeah just flash it with odin it will be fine but follow the instructions carefully though you will lose root
Flash firmware for your location and network .
