A friend send me a Samsung Galaxy SII GT-9100 from Luxembourg. The mobile is rooted. It has Gingerbread.XXK13, version 2.3.5 , os archit : Armv71, Os kernel : Linux , and Pc code Gt-I9100LKAKOR. So I put a number on the screen and find out the original version was Phone MS2 CSC LS2LUX, PDA LSW. I had a change hide my root from Superuser so I can download throught Odin 3-1.85 the official firmware for Luxembourg Jelly bean 4.1.2 (I live in Greece and Kies supportes Jelly bean 4.1.2 but when I plug in the mobile Kies was recognizing it was rooted and says no update ) Anyway I tried to flash and Odin says Added with yellow but then I place PDA from Lux and its not working, odin is freezing and I have to close it. And from the first time and then my phone starts to have a signal that is overheated even if it cold. and It dosent rebboot only if it is at socket and charges.
Any help how I will escape overheating problem and do the update correct ??
thank you !

dont try flashing a rom using odin but flash a custom kernel instead
siyah v6.0b5 would be the best option to start and then try flashing the rom using the recovery

use the following link mate for flashing the kernel i suggested
http://www.google.co.in/url?q=http:...iA4ZzA&usg=AFQjCNEyxoN6ZrQnShBzL3rSb4aKGkJGyw
And then this to flash a rom of your choice
Get into CWM
Power off the phone.
Hold down the Volume Up button at the same time as your hold the power button and home button until the phone vibrates once. As soon as the phone vibrates once release the power button while continuing to hold Volume Down
Step 1: Understanding CWM, usage.
Before doing anything, navigate to "Backup and Restore" and select backup and confirm. This is known as a nandroid backup. If you ever are caught in a bind you will navigate here and select Restore instead of Backup in this menu.
Now is play time without many worries. Restart back into the normal Android system and gain access to your internal SD card via USB on your computer. Copy your ROM to "the root" of your SD card.
Restart back into CWM.
You're ready to flash, but right before flashing any ROM perform the following steps:
Select wipe data/factory reset and confirm
Select wipe cache partition and confirm
Select advanced - wipe dalvik cache and confirm
Select install zip from SD card
Select from internal SD card or wherever you placed it.
Select the ROM file and confirm.
Once the bottom line says complete you'll have access to the menu to select Go Back and then Reboot system now.
All done!
Gud luck mate
Read well before you start

Hi everyone,
I made this thread because I wanted to make a guide of my own to update your Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100. I'm with Virgin Mobile, so I can confirm this work fine. You wont lose any of yours data, apps.
I experienced a better battery lifetime, better signal reception, gps, etc.
I put together many different guide to make things easier for new users.
All guides here are from XDA developers. I don't take any credits for them.
First you need Samsung Kies if you don't already have it. This is only to get the driver for your phone. Plug in your phone with usb cable and wait for the peripheral to get recognize.
After this close Kies and kill any process named Kies in your task manager.
download here
http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/m...softwaremanual.do?page=MOBILE.SOFTWARE.MANUAL
or french version
http://www.samsung.com/fr/kies/
Take your phone; hit parameter, applications, developement and check usb debog and fictitious position ( sorry my phone is in french not sure how its called in english, just check both option). You have to uncheck them if you want to transfer files on your phone like you do normally.
Now you need :
Get Odin v1.85 from here: http://www.multiupload.com/1RTGSE061G

The stock kernels are to be used to restore the kernel version after rooting and are not needed for updating the firmware.
You do not need to root or unroot the device to update the firmware.
Please ensure that KIES is closed and not running in the system tray! Kies doesn't like Odin, it's like the big brother who's always jealous that his little brother is getting to flash all the phones so he starts to flash block.
Flashing Firmware with Odin
1. Just download the firmware version you want from the second or third posts and extract the .tar or .tar.md5 file in the archive and save it somewhere
2. Reboot your phone to download mode.
To get download mode shut down the device. After it shuts off completely simultaneously press the Down volume key+ Home button + press the power button .
You should see a warning asking you to press volume up if you want to continue or volume down to cancel, press volume up. You are now in download mode!
3. Start Odin
4. Click on the PDA button and browse to the .tar or .tar.md5 file that you extracted in step 1
If the package has more than one .tar archive then they will be labelled with PDA, Phone/Modem and CSC. Just put them in the corresponding section of Odin
5. DO NOT PUT .PIT FILE AND DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TICK REPARTITION.
Anyone ask about .pit file is a moron
Should look like this screenshot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Regardless of firmware version it's still the same methodology
6. Connect the USB cable and wait for the ID:COM section to turn yellow
7. Click start to flash
8. Do not disconnect the cable or turn off the device, it will reboot when it finishes.
It will not wipe your phone if you flash as recommended
You will lose root so just re-root with the guide below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Instructions - ODIN (long)
- Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Unzip the attached CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.zip
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start ODIN
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar
- Put your phone in download mode
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure repartition is NOT checked
- Click the START button
- Wait for the phone to reboot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)
Yellow Triangle Removal
Just flash the original kernel I linked.
Tutorial can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1193091
Alternatively you can use a Jig as it also resets the custom Rom counter
Tips
Download Titanim Backup from the market once your phone is rooted. It backup everything and put back all yours apps, icones the way they were.
Get Juice defender and autokiller memory for you battery. It really work well. There's a cool feature where you can downclock your cpu at idle if its rooted.
You can get the original firmware from here (2.3.3)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
If you need to put back your phone the way it was when you bought from the store.
Thats's all enjoy GingerBread 2.3.6.
Feel free to post if there's any mistake or something missing.
How come you chose XWKK5? Would I be ok to use the XWLA4 firmware from Germany?
samsung galaxy s2 ICS upgrade
Hi
I am new to this game so bear with me. Originally I rooted my phone using odin and put on a rom called lite'ning v6.1 and it is using version gingerbread 2.3.4.
Now that ICS is out, I wish to upgrade to it.
Do I need to do things in this order:
1. remove the rom
2. unroot the phone
3. upgrade to ICS
4. reroot the phone with the old rom or maybe a new one.
tried with odin and it wouldn't work then read your article about kernels and the version i need, ie virgin australia has been removed from the link you put up.
please repost it or let me know where i can get it for free
thanks

Download gingerbread firmware from here and flash it via Odin..

You can refer to this just instead of the given firmware link you have to download a firmware of your country..
Sent from my GT-I9100G using xda premium
Hm. First of all, booting simply means restarting your phone. Reduction of RAM is normal when you update to ICS 4.0 as more memory is required for the system functions which you are not allowed to access.
You can overclock your processor if speed is what you are looking for (but this would require rooting and stuff)
Or if you are adamant on switching back to an older version (which will give you more ram) you can switch back to Gingerbread 2.3.6 which is the version that was in use before ICS 4.0.
Google for Gingerbread 2.3.6 for your phone, or you can check out this link if you like.
Simple process really. The site will ask you to download a file which will contain the gingerbread .tar extension file and odin. Odin is a software through which you can install firmware updates.
So first completely turn off your phone (wait for the vibrate at the end as a confirmation that its completely off)
Next boot your phone into Download Mode. (Press Volume down + the home button/center buttom + power button and hold all 3 for 3 seconds)
Once you are in download mode, open up odin on your computer and connect your phone to you computer via the USB cable. A box on the middle left of odin should turn yellow (if not, the drivers for your mobile are not properly installed on your computer)
Next, click on the PDA button and search for the .tar extension file you downloaded and select it.
Then just hit start.
P.S - Dont tick or untick any boxes in Odin. Leave the default ticked boxes as they are and just hit start.
Once its done, congratulations, your back to 2.3.6 Gingerbread.
Hello. Wish i will find the solution to the problem here. I will show every detail i did, maybe something will help...
I wanted to upgrade the s2 (international) -stock and not rooted- from 4.0.3 to Omega v20.1 .. Therefore i tried to root it.
Downloaded odin 1.85
Downloaded CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5
Put the mobile on download mode > connected it > Opened Odin > chose the file > start
[/LIST]
The program worked and showed the passed signed and the mobile restarted
The mobile freeze here (as in the picture).. totally dead!! unless removing battery
tried the same process again with CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5 and Siyah-s2-v6.0b5
Also tried Odin V1.7 , V3.04 and the same results ... total freeze
I cant enter the recovery mode -vol up , home, and power- . The mobile also freeze
Hope to fix it
You have a Samsung I9100G. you flashed a kernel for a I9100 without any letter... go search there to find the correct kernel for you.
PS : and btw Omega 20.1 won't work on your device cuz it's only available for I9100 devices :/
He`s right i had the same issue with the exact same symptoms i mixed up gt-i9100 with I9100G

Is your IMEI the same as under the battery ??
If not flash stock rom with Odin .
Still wrong IMEI take to Samsung service dont bother reading the ten million exact same posts .

staff did a procedure that a friend posted on another Foum and now the machine operator's fate with this however if you try to make a connection he says he is not registered on the network, and when I type * # 06 # IMEI he brings me the 0/00 what I did was the procadimento
Retrieving IMEI and data connection after flashing package root WRONG I9305 Intended for:
Make sure you have the Samsung Kies or Samsung USB Driver installed on your PC.
Download and extract: Odin3 3.04.zip for your PC, if you have not already.
Download and extract: Param_Bin_I9305.zip for your PC.
With the phone turned off, press and hold: + 'Volume Down' HOME '+' POWER 'to enter Download Mode.
Connect your phone to PC via USB cable and start Odin.
Make sure your phone is connected to see if a COM port in a blue box is present in ID: COM.
Press the "PDA" and select the "Param_Bin_I9305.tar.md5 'file that you extracted the ZIP file before.
Press the 'Start' button and wait for it to finish flashing. If successful, you will see a green box with "PASS!".
Wait for your phone to reboot then go to the Dialer and press: * # 06 #. You should now see your IMEI and your data connection will be back.

You can download the latest firmware for your Galaxy S4 (GT-I9500) from here, just make sure to change the country box to the country that is correct for your service provider. Once you have downloaded the firmware image you can use Odin and download mode on your phone to flash the firmware. To put your phone into download mode power off the device, then turn on the device holding the volume down button + home button + power button simultaneously, follow the onscreen prompts to put the phone in download mode. You will need Odin to flash the firmware to your device which can be obtained from here. I would recommend watching this tutorial video on how to flash the firmware to your device using Odin (Also make sure you have the USB drivers for your phone installed correctly on your computer or Odin won't recognize your device). Let me know if you still have questions I'll be happy to help you out.
