Hi everyone,
after getting my phone from repair (battery was blinking). I have successfully rooted my phone with CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5 and discovered the INSANE CHIP and SW:
Vers: 4.0.4
baseband: I9100BULP8
Kernel version 3.0.15-I9100XXLPQ-CL223505 [email protected] #3 SMP PREEMPT Fri Mar 9 02:19:25 KST 2012
Build: IMM76D.BULPG
As the device was upgraded to that version, I cannot send it rooted to repairs again because the camera doesn`t work. So and because f the Insane chip a cannot upgrade it to 4.0.4. What to do? Any ideas?
Thanks

Well the first of all, try flashing a different kernel, I've experienced the camera problem before, but after flashing Siyah kernel the problem was fixed for me, you can also try any other kernel and see what works for you. If it doesn't work, let me know and we can try other ways of fixing the problem.
I did what you sugested, but because of the INSANE chip i really don`t want to mess around a lot. So I flashed Siyah kernel and the SII doesn`t start up, but i can still come to Volume Up or Volume Down screen. All I know, that I cannot flash with original rom 4.0.4 because than will destroy the phone - wipe everything of it.
will that do the trick? LINK searching for XXLPQ
iflashed with original kernel, and the S2 woke up, but the problem still exists.
How can i find the same rom on sammobile? I did searched my operator but it is not listed there. I listed also the french ones and spanish ones and none of them is the same as mine.

If muppets like you want help include your country/or the original software version that came with the phone/the carrier you use etc.How can you expect anyone to link you up with software when you post what your on now.
Samsung can quite easily knock back your warranty if they find a rom that is not meant for the phone your sending them.They can look for signs of tinkering etc.

As I wrote in the first post
Vers: 4.0.4
baseband: I9100BULP8
Kernel version 3.0.15-I9100XXLPQ-CL223505 [email protected] #3 SMP PREEMPT Fri Mar 9 02:19:25 KST 2012
Build: IMM76D.BULPG
and I don`t find that specific one for my country.
COUNTRY: Slovenia
CARRIER: Vodafon (Si.mobil)
Before i have send it to warranty repair of usb connector, it had 4.0.3 (I9100BULPG_I9100SIMLP6_SIM) as it was updated via Kies. So it was updated at service, with something I cannot find.
If any more information is needed, PLEASE write it down, I will look after.
Thank you

Ok, you know what, just flash stock firmware...anyone will do. Then root your device and install triangle away, wipe your binary counter and the re-flash stock firmware and delete any root files/apps you might have. That deletes all evidence that you might have rooted your device and then send it for repairs. If you don't want to, just hard brick it and they will replace it for you, providing you still have warranty?
