Hi,
Does I9100G same as I9100?
Can I flash CF-Root on I9100G?
Does the custom rom in this forum is compatible?
Anyone tried it before?
I use a GT-9100T with no issues as baseband version KH3 of the custom rom matches that of the stock.
Have a look around in chainfire's thread for a matching rooted kernel. Once rooted, use the CWM app that's installed automatically to make a nan-backup of your original rom (if three is no shipped rom G version available for download, check intratech thread)
......That is if you decide to go down this path. Sorry can't be of more help.

I too have the I9100G DXKH4 S2 and from experience please do not use CF-Root files on the G phone. I ended up with a stuck Samsung Boot screen with the Yellow Triangle.
Some of the ROMs i tried from Intratech and Samfirmware could not be flashed and the error did not go away. Last resort was I sent back to Samsung for reflash.
Just updated my firmware to DZKI1 using Kies. Looks like we are stuck with an
unrootable phone until CF gives us the CF-I9100G root files
I sure would like to know what exactly is the difference between between the "G" and non G phone but somehow I cant find any except for bricking it
---------- Post added at 04:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 AM ----------
One other thing, I noticed the G phone has some font issues
1. Droidwords...In the game where you can see the points on your word played (top right), the fonts become ............
2. Papago , the mylist (saved location) fonts are extremely small
3. TouchPal Keyboard (IMHO is far superior than the stock Samsung KB) - Full QWERTY mode with Symbols and Numbers intermixed, first 3 rows are missing all the symbols and numbers. Only the last row of keys can be seen with the symbols

Hi. Do you have a copy of the DZKI1 firmware? I can't find that version anywhere. I want to use that to flash my i9100g so i don't have to send it back to Samsung. Thanks.

i9100g is using different CPU TI OMAP 4430. I think thats why root fail. You can PM hahaboy cos he have rooted his device. Also it seems you guys got official rom KI1 which is a 2.3.5 rom.
all I9100G users, dont use any I9100 rom or kernel, that's totally different. we just wait 9100G rom and kernel out. no choice.

Hi Hahaboy,
I need the KH4 kernel (for i9100G) to flash my i9100G back to normal..
I've foolishly tried to root it using the CF root with a KH4 kernel (for i9100) that causes the phone to be stuck at the reboot level..
Hope to hear from you soon.

First things first - Upgrade your phone to latest firmware using the official way: OTA or Samsung Kies application.
Next go through the infinite posts about rooting - pros and cons; and decide why you want to root. One wrong step and you may end up losing your phone forever.

Do one thing..If you are not able to find the relevant thread directly in the forum use Google. Just type "how to Root galaxy S2+gingerbread 2.3.3" and you would most probably be directed to some thread in XDA itself.
Besides, dont worry, just follow the instructions word to word and you should be fine. Personal experience.
Press thanks if it helps.

What is the difference between updating GB to ICS and then rooting and

Can't i just root and then install custom ICS OS??
Like the other guys say, upgrade to ICS and then root - I used this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
That root method is ridiculously easy.

I agree with Carlover and the others have to say.
Rooting on ICS is ridiculously easy as compared to GB. Thats the reason people are asking you to upgrade to ICS and then root.

If you like it this way then just find a rom that can be flash through odin then u r directly in ics + rooted..
Two important things for you to consider:-
1.dont upgrage to/flash stock 4.0.4 rom until you install a kernel like siyah etc.
2.dont ask "whats the best rom" questions.

I am in confusion now.
Kernal is a part of ROM right?
If i upgrade to ICS then i will have ICS kernal right?
Can you elaborate point 1?
My mobile current state is having GB...(i can upgrade it to ICS from service centre)
Steps which i think i should be doing
Method 1:
1)Upgrade it to ICS and root the mobile.
Once i get admin rights replace the kernal " siyah"
2)Take backup of current ROM
3)Install custom ROMS
method 2:
1)with current OS GB root the mobile
2)Replace the kernal
3)Backup OS
4)Install custom ROMS
Tell me steps are correct or Provide me the changes and the method which i should go for.
It's simple, root your current firmware by using the siyah GB version. After rooting, install titanium backup and backup every application. Before the titanium backup, install sms backup +, open it and click the backup button. It will now backup all your sms and your call log. You contacts should be synced with google. Now just download the ICS firmware to flash using odin. Flash it. Flash siyah through odin (ICS version). Now install titanium backup and sms backup +. Restore everything. Now you have ICS stock.
Whenever you flash the siyah kernel your phone will be rooted. Be careful not to use siyah GB with ICS and siyah ICS version with GB. They may brick your phone.
We are rooting your gingerbread so that you can backup all your apps using titanium backup which requires root.
That's pretty much it, enjoy your new phone.

If you want to backup your entire current firmware, after rooting your gingerbread firmware, switch off the phone and press volume up + home + power button at the same time and keep holding them. They'll bring up a recovery screen (this is where you install roms backup entire roms/firmwares etc) go to backup and restore and backup.
Feel free to ask any questions.

Best Rom doesn't actually exist. The thing is, everybody has different things they like in different roms. So I can't help you there.
Btw, I told you to get ICS using odin first so that you have a original firmware file of ICS available with you if you need it later. It's the longer procedure but It's good this way.

First of all thanks for helping this newBee...
1)I m scared of bricking my cell. So i dnt want to take single chance of doing so.
2)I can just upgrade to ICS free of cost from samsung sevice centre.
3)I am not getting a single reason to root the mobile at the cost of ICS..
It would have been the case of installing JB then i would have thought of.
Taking the backup of current GB doesnt make scence ....
What if my cell bricks may i use the backup of GB?
All the advices are welcome.
Thanks in advance..
Watever you do, don't upgrade to ICS v4.0.4. You can hard brick your device. 4.0.3 is fine. Very fine!

Why don't you just update over-the-air? (I should have said this before the long post ) If you just want just ICS without root then go to settings, about phone, software update and update from there. 100% safe and you won't lose anything, all your apps and eveything will remain as it was.
After that IF someday you wish to root the phone for some AWESOME reason. Just flash Siyah Kernel. (ICS Version).
thanks

Hi All,
I've been really happy with my Galaxy S3 until I decided to flash a new Cyanogen Mod nightly build onto it. After the update my touchscreen stopped working but the soft buttons still work. I done a bit of reading on XDA and found it could be the digitizer that has faulted.
I've reflashed all the original ROM's and Firmware. When going into download mode in now reads
Customer Binary Download: Yes (4)
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
I want to take it back to Vodafone to see if they can repair it but I need to get the flash counter back to 0. I know Triangle Away can do this but as the screen doesn't work I can't get past the unlock screen once it turns on to install and use it.
Is there anyway to reset the flash counter without getting into the phone e.g. via Odin?
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
I`m not 100% sure about this but you could try using an adapter and hooking up a usb mouse!

Hello,
My 9100 is using 4.0.4, and I would like to upgrade it to 4.1.2 (I9100ZCLSH_I9100OZHLSH_CHN, it's a chinese version because I would like to have a chinese system). BUT FAILED!
I have already installed CWM with super user, and whenever I reboot the phone, there is a yellow triangle, so I BELIEVE it's been rooted successfully.
When I put the phone in download mode, plug it in Odin, the sign shows yellow with COM4 (or 5 or 6), so I believe there is no connection or driver problem.
However, when I load the PDA file I9100ZCLSH_I9100OZHLSH_CHN and start, Odin could not complete the flash. it shows FAIL....
Please see the picture. Could anyone help with this issue !!! Thank you so much !!
Details of my system:
4.0.4
baseband version I9100XXLQ5
Kernel: 3.0.15-I9100XXLPQ-CL223505

Hi thanks gastonw.
Yes, I have heard of the danger of 4.0.4 and I wonder if my system has been "soft bricked"... Luckily, it's still working on 4.0.4, though failed in flashing new stock firmwire. I just don't know the reason...
Download new Odin 3.07 version.
Are yu flashing right ROM version.
Maybe corrupted files.
Try redownload it. If you downloaded from SamFirmware maybe its bad download.
Something is wrong with SAM zip files. I downloaded today from SAM and ger ZIP damaged. Downloaded from annother link
Redownload the ROM and flash again with ODIN 3.07

Thanks bihslk.
Yes, I'm Chinese. I was using UK version and fine, but now I switched to S3 and I'm giving S2 to my mom. Chinese version will be easier for her
I tried a new version of Odin, the same failure ....
Do you think the firmwire that I downloaded has a problem ?? yes I downloaded it from samfirmwire, and actually I tired 3 different versions, including older ginger bread , none of them worked ... this problem is driving my a little crazy .
There is a way to solve "unflashable" S2, do you recommend I try it?

I think you have corrupted files.
Try to download the same ROM again but from annother LINK. NOT Hotfile
If it doesnt work neither. Then try to install ICS Chinese for you REGION and try update via OTA or KIES
It it doesnt work 2 then try the link you posted ABOVE
One more thing. I saw you have COM6 or something. It sounds like USB HUB ports.
Try to connect phone to the original PC USB in front of the PC or MotherBoard USB not in the HUBS.
Make ONE PC reboot 2

Have you tried mobile odin?
You can flash LSJ and after that any chinese stock ROM.

Hello guys,
Thank you soooo much for all your advises ! Without your suggestions, I would not be able to solve this problem.
In the end, I think its the firmware V.S. phone format problem.
I9100OZHLSH_CHN, is the official firmware to chinese S2 users. Mine is actually Canadian i9100 M, but I flashed it with UK version so it shows I9100. I read a thread in chinese, saying that Bootloader is needed, which use .pit to format the partition from eur to chn. Thus, I guess no matter how many times I try, without Bootloader, the flash would be failed. (I did not really try the bootloader, seems to be risky, if anyone in the future needs it, pls follow this link in chinese though.... http://bbs.anzhi.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=6347421&reltid=6324097&pre_pos=2&ext= ).
I follow this instruction to recover my system to 4.0.3, which I have better control ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1457458
Then I found this "Official Android 4.1.2 ZSLSH Jelly Bean Firmware", which they say it's released in China but can also be install in EU international phones, I succeeded ! This firmware has both english and Chinese language packages. :fingers-crossed:
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/4...icial-android412-zslsh-jellybean-firmware.htm
So overall, ZSLSH works on my phone, but ZHLSH will never I guess.
Thank you all again, and hope this may help others who may encounter this issue in the future !!!!!
I9100 & i9100M has got the same hardware so it should work.

I was busy trying to flash cm10.2 RC for my i9100 and ended up soft-bricking my phone. Not sure what happened, probably just me doing something stupid. If I recall the correct way to handle this is:
1)Find stock rom+kernel
2) install KIES on pc
3) flashing using ODIN in download mode
The problem is that I have no idea where to get the 4.1.1 stock rom and kernel from for my phone. I'm from Canada and using Virgin/Bell Mobile, so I tried looking up the CSC code and stuff. I stumbled upon http ://samsung-updates. com/device/?id=GT-I9100 (needed 10 posts and didnt want to just make random posts) but I have no idea which rom is the correct one. Would really appreciate some help with this (resources for stock roms+kernel) Could I use philz safe stock as a kernel? Christ I swear I used to know how to do all this.
Thanks in advance.
Which model number?

Ah.... I soft-bricked my phone meaning I cant get past the boot screen. Can't get to recovery mode or boot, only download mode. And my phone is not a glaxay s3 (i9300) its a i9100/i9100m, a galaxy s2 international edition.

I'm not sure what you flashed because the international Galaxy S2 hasn't received any CM10.2 RC builds

So I used the link you gave me to get it to GB stock rom+kernel (since I read intratechs stuff might not work). Then using KIES I got to 4.1.2. AT that point my firmware info changed from PDA:KG2/PHONE:KG2/CSC:KG2 (BMC) to PDA:MA5/PHONE:MA5/CSC:MA5(BMC). No idea what that means. Went to http://forum.xda-developers. com/showthread.php?t=1103399 to grab a rooted kernel with cwm. Then my phone just gets stuck in a boot loop or fails to launch. Tried siyah kernels v2 and v3, they fail (boot loops). Dorimanx just causes my phone to freeze midway between the samsung screen animation and the warning triangle.
Basically, Im stuck right now only being able to boot successfully to stock 4.1.2 un rooted. Any idea where to head from there?

So i would guess you want to get back onto a custom rom like CM? Just flash this version of dorimanx on your phone via odin and it should boot, 8.43 for samsung based roms you must use those that start with 8, e.g. 8.43 or 8.41 etc... Once you flash it you can now boot into CWM recovery and install CM as you always had.
NVm, kinda got it working on SlimBean with a CWM 6.0 kernel. Thanks for all the help from the XDA community.
