[Q] bvke2 original kernel - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anybody have a link to secure ans insecure I9100 BVKE2 kernel. I have tried lots of google links but they have all been removed or lead you to spam pages like Ilivid. any help greatly appreciated. Or is there an original kernel I can use that will allow me to use Kias to update from 2.3.3? Sorry for the stupid question, I am ready and waiting for the sarky answers but all genuine answers are very welcome.

What are you actually trying to do mate? Do you want to upgrade to a newer firmware using Kies?

Yes I got this phone off someone as my S3 is broken and it has been rooted with the unstable kernel. it won't let me put a custom recovery on it, it comes up with can't access to "sysytem/csc/ora/system" which leads me to believe there is an issue and with my very very novice knowledge have decided t unroot and go back to standard to upgrade from Gingerbread.

All you need to do is download the preferred firmware from sammobile.com, androidfirmwares.net or samsung-updates.net, and flash it via odin.

Revert to stock rom - Odin fail, only download mode no recovery

Hi,
I am trying to revert to Stock ROM on GT-I9100G. Read all the posts I could find. And still no success.

Managed to flash the kernel (KI3) but the rom fails..
Can enter download mode but not to recovery mode
Any advice?
I9100 ?

Hi,
Since you have GT-I9100G, i would recommend posting this in the Q&A thread in "GT-I9100G Android Development" section (It's in the Samsung Galaxy S II forum just a few steps down from this Q&A section)
Tell us if you fixed it by going there

There is no troubleshooting section for GT-I9100G, only android development
Whether you edited the OP or I didn't notice the G.
Flash a stock ROM via odin, don't flash any custom kernel.

Thanks for the reply,
Does it matter which stock rom? i mean there are many countries and different versions in sammobile.
Also I already tried some kernels, is there a a way to wipe them away?
Thanks
Yes, it matters.
I9100 & I9100G don't share the same hardware.
Almost everything meant for I9100 won't work on a I9100G neither the other way around.
Flash this.

I didn't understand what to do in this website..
I think you can only get the latest firmware from that site, not older firmware
I don't know about android 2.3.3 but I have recently downloaded android 2.3.6 from sammobile.com
Go to its firmware section and search hope you find your 2.3.3 there.

If your country is not on sammobile.com, choose a region near to you, or choose the nordic region firmwares..

Need help in updating GT-i9100 2.3.5 to 4.1.2 !

Grettings everyone,
As the title says I want to update my Galaxy S2 i9100 via ODIN which is currently running on Gingerbread 2.3.5 to Jelly bean 4.1.2 officially.
As I'm a kind of person who dont want to mess up my device with rooting or mostly dont care about rooting.
I'm on complete stock Gingerbead 2.3.5 with no root apply.
The problem is that I cant update my GT-I9100 via KIES or via OTA (Over The Air).
Here are the basic which info. which I can provide,
"Model No. (GT-I9100)
Android version (2.3.5)
Baseband version (I9100XXKI4)
Kernel Version (2.6.35.7-I9100JPKj2-CL655700 root @dell143 #2
Build No. GINGERBREAD.JPKJ2
and here is the error which KIES shows.
"Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies.
* Current firmware version DA:KJ2/ PHONE:KI4/ CSC:KID(XXX)"
Sorry for my bad English and also if I am posting this on a wrong section.
And I also can anyone also tell me the procedure whether to check my phone is locked or not to just make sure everything go perfect during the update process.
Thanks In Advance !
This has already been covered many times mate! Please use search before posting.
Simply download the appropriate firmware for ur region/carrier (if any) from sammobile.com. Extract it and flash it using Odin. Then do a factory reset.

Just 1 more thing is it safe to download any of the jelly bean 4.1.2 of any country? For example India, Pakistan and update it via odin?
Yes it's safe (altough you should back EFS folder up first).

I found the solution here on xda forums. I don't have the correct link of the thread, because I have sold my i9100 about 9-10 months ago.
But you can search here. I hope you will find it.
Try searching "Galaxy S2 i9100 Lock screen issue after jellybean/4.1.2" .

Sammobile's your friends when it comes to stock firmware
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9100&pcode=TPA#firmware
Checkout the link, you'll probably need to sign up to download the firmware though...
What happened if I can't see my device baseband version on the list of Sammobile site?

Just look what device you are having like i9100 or i9100g or i9100m and choose your desired device in option and download the lastest firmware of that device.
Flash it from Odin. Simple
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Can you give me the link with an easy step-by-step to flash my device with ODIN?
I am less than newbie with ODIN, flashing device or using CyanogenMod (someone told me about that too)
So my main concern is to root or flash my device and, damage my device.
So with all your honesty and sincerity, which one is more secure and easy to use, ODIN or CyanogenMod?
thanks a lot
BTW, I am downloading the last firmware for my device I9100
It is a zip file so I suppose to must have a ODIN to installed on my device but, before do that, I need your answer for my above concern.
Thread stickied near the top of Q&A has a guide to flashing with Odin.
Can't find it
Try but without luck
I already download 2 zip file, backup my personal data
But:
1. Can not find a easy user guide for ODIN
2. Can not find the last version of ODIN or, the version I must use
Any help
Thanks for my stupid question, I know for most of you, could be as easy as using internet, all this thing of flashing devices, rooting devices, Odin, etc.

Here's the thread u 'cant find':
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365701
I suggest you read it thoroughly first, ask any doubts u may have, then start flashing.
As for Odin, u can use any version mate. All versions are available here on XDA. Just search for it.

but each time i try to flash it, it fails even i try 4.1.2 and 4.0.4 roms
any help with it??
thanks alot
if u can tell me what it means this when i go to download mode it says : custom Binary download yes( 4 counts)
It fails when you flash via Odin? Have u checked the odin troubleshooting guide yet?
Custom binary downloads = custom ROM installs

Don't flash 4.0.4 pls. Brick bug is not a good thing.
thanks all
i have flash it by odin 1.85 and the rom is 2.3.5.. all ok and done
but how to upgrade it to 4.0.4?
You don't. Forget 4.0.4
If you really want ICS go for 4.0.3
Flash with Odin the same as GB you just flashed. Or root your gb rom and use mobile Odin pro to flash it.
