Hi I'm trying to look for the stock 4.1.2 kernel for the international version GT9300. I have the original ROM but decided to change the kernel to Yank555 but since i would like to update to 4.2 would like to do it through the samsung Kies (if you have better suggestions, they are welcome, since i dont want all the samsung crap which took very long to get rid off) Otherwise I will have to jump again in the world of looking for a ROM
on a side note, anyone knows which kernel would be best for the MIUI rom? i tried it last year but i had lags and some things didnt work.
Thank you!

that would mean i would have to install the firmware again, is there a way to just extract the kernel?
thank you!

Don't use Kies, use Odin, it's far less temperamental. Just download th XWKE2 firmware from samfirmware.com and flash in the PDA section of Odin

Wow, that's a hell of a long time, leave it to download overnight? Mine took a while but only because it's a big file and it certainly didn't take a day! I'm sorry I don't know anywhere else to get stock firmware from apart from Samfirmware.com and the god awful Kies...
Its not posted on here by any chance using a different upload service .

I have installed an unsecure kernel in my galaxy s2 (GT I9100G) but since I cannot find the original stock kernel, I wanted to roll back to the stock android version that came with s2 and thus wanted to know how could I re-install the firmware from KIES.
Thanks

You need to reflash stock using ODIN before you can use kies, as Kies doesn't recognise custom kernels.

Will reflashing bring back the stock kernel and make the phone unrooted in short make it the way Samsung sold it to me?
Also, I am using Galaxy S2 I9100G build number GINGERBREAD.XWKJ2 and for it only 1 unsecured kernel was available at this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327509
I rooted my phone without any problem but since there's no way to get back the stock kernel, I am afraid that if need be, how am I gonna claim warranty for my device.

Yes aslong as you flash the firmware that came with it t will be like as samsung sold it. Have a look at intratech's thread he may just have the kernel if you still have the original firmware on it already.

Yes, I do have the original firmware on it. Didn't have enough guts to play with custom ROM :/
I did check intratech's thread and found stock kernel for XWKJ2 but the thread titles says "Official i9100 Firmwares" whereas my phone shows i9100G. I guess this won't work.
And, when flashing to original firmware, will the kernel's be replaced to the original one's as well?
Thanks for suck quick replies Am just a n00b diving into Android
You can extract the original kernel yourself if you want it http://www.hotfile.com/dl/136857418/c144909/I9100GXWKJ2_I9100GODDKJ2_INU.zip.html

Downloaded it. Now what do I do? Flash s2 with this, backup using titanium, root device and then use the stock to get rid of yellow triangle? Am I missing anything?
Thanks for your help
BTW, is there a way to get the latest available firmware in my country/region via KIES so that I can be 100% sure of being in right place
i cant post the link right now but you can google
"How to goback/use Kies update after using ODIN,Rooting or Custom Firmware : Video Guide"
and go the the dialandroid website they have a way to make it like original again
Hi,
Is Samsung KIES still usable after I update firmware using ODIN (and after I revert back to stock firmware). Thanks !
revert to stock rom and Kies
Dear cypherlwind,
Yes it is possible to use kies after reverting to a stock rom.
Keep in mind that it needs to be a official samsung stock rom.
See the following links to obtain a stock rom:
Official stock roms on xda:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Official Provider branded roms:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
Original stock roms on sammobile
http://www.sammobile.com/
In order to update via kies the phone needs to have a stock combination of stock firmware, so a kernel, rom, csc and modem that shipped together, rather than mix and match.

No such thing as a 'kerenel'
... Thx for the informative reply
You can take a look at sammobile.com you'll find all new and old stock ROMs that you can flash with odin. Stock kernel is provided

Only saw there stock roms by country. I'm looking for the clean samsung rom, unchanged by the cellular operators (if such thing exists).
Thanks,
Your posts arent very informative either.
1.post details about phone.
2.if you want an unbranded stock firmware........then say so
3.read threads about noobs
Take a look at this thread, I hope it would help

First of all: it's 'rooted', not 'rotted'
Some roms come with a new modem, so if you want to change it, you can flash it through Recovery. Some others don't, but you can check it of course in Settings -> About phone.
About your request for a JB rom: even if you're from NZ, you still have to try them for yourself to see which rom perfectly matches your preferences.

ICS is not really a very good rom and I would recommend KK or JB
you should be good if you go from a GB firmware to a JB one
or if u want you could flash a custom kernel in odin and then flash a KK ROM like CM11 or Slimkat

can you give me some safe Rom that i can flash to my phone? or links?.
I'm searching but im afraid to use other ROm aside from GB.
thanks again Toby..

It`s very safe to flash Jellybean or Kitkat. Download the latest jellybean from sammobile and flash it with odin.. Look around for tutorials how to. Note that you will lose all your data, but your phone will 100% work. That brickbug was only on 4.0.4 version.. To be sure and safe flash jellybean and after that flash PhilZ-cwm6 - Safe Stock Based Kernel. If you need more info, i`ll help you. Cheers!:good:
