So basically I updated my galaxy s2 t989 to jellybean so I would get the upgraded radio so I could install custom roms. After upgrading through Samsung kies I tried again and got stuck in a collaterals recovery boot loop. I restored to a previous backup before I upgraded but the problem is I am back on 4.0.4 but It kept the 4.1.2 radio. So now kies says my firmware is not compatible to upgrade. Is this common or am I totally screwed?

Although I do not personally own an S2 the common method is finding a radio version at 4.0.4 and flashing that. Finding it will be the difficult part. Ask around and see if one of your buddies (XDA is your buddy ) has a copy that they can lend you.

So would I just flash it through Odin?

Also do you know if that is why my phone isn't getting recognized by Kies?

As I said. I don't own any Samsung devices so I can't help you there. Basic andoiud help is finding a raido and flashing it through a recovery, CWM or otherwise.

Hi,
I currently have a Telus Galaxy Note i717. I have my phone rooted and was using Objection ICs Rom before the official ICS release became available on July 13th. I have been trying to install the stock Telus ICS update ota and I keep getting a message saying the update is not available even though I know it is. I have looked all over the internet for a solution and nothing seems to be allowing me to update my phone with the official telus update. I have unrooted my phone, reset flash counter, whiped partition, cache, etc using CWM, and I am still unable to download and install the Telus ICS update. Any help you can give me would be great as I would really like to install the Telus ICS rom.
I'm having the same issue but I think it's because I still have cwm. Once you flash the stock telus recovery you should be good to go. I'm flashing that once I get home.

Here's a link to stock telus recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24528886 to Odin. For flash counter shouldn't matter for the upgrade.

I will try installing this. I saw on the Samsung website the baseband version had to be I717UCLF1. But I believe by installing the OBjection rom the baseband version was changed to I717UCLF6 and in order to get the Telus ICS ofiical update the baseband version has to be I717UCLF1 in order for the update to download. IS this correct? and will downloaded the previoussly mentioned file fix this issue?

Before you do all that flashing? Did you do a nandroid of stock? If you did that you can restore your nandroid backup and flash the stock recovery.

It ended up being a radio band version issue. I found a link for telus-radio.zip on another xda thread. I installed it using cwm andit fixed the issue. My phone was recognized by kies and it updated my phone to ics 4.0.4.

Please be more informative next time you post a question. Are you on 4.0.4 or what? And are you running stock rom (rooted/not rooted) or a custom one?
Sent from the Matrix
If you have the ROM that you get when you got the cellphone, then you will adviced if you have a update from samsung.
If you have a Custom ROM based on CM 10.1 [Google It] or AOKP [Google it] you can update in CWM [google it] without any wipe [Google it]
If you have a custom ROM based on Samsung, you need to wipe all the data and install it via CWM or ODIN.

sry for my english.

About your first point: thats the whole problem he stated.
About the second part: you're not completely right. If the OP indeed has a custom rom, then the updates from it (AOSP, AOKP or Samsung based) must be done like the developer says in his thread. @OP: in that case you won't get a 'Software Update'-notification, but maybe your rom has the Update Me-app or anything like it, so you can flash it through CWM.
If you (OP) are on a stock rom, then you have to flash the updates manually through Odin. However, if you're on 4.0.4, there is no update because it's the latest firmware.

Try thanking the bloke above for giving you a steer on what you might need to do, go away, do a little research on Kies lite and then come back later if you need more help. If not, root and install any ROM that your heart desires.

Baseband I9100XXLQ6
Kernel

Recently it has been a bit buggy and with a few hanga but after a glorious one year i gotta say.

But if i update is a major update now yeah? I mean is one year i dont update it...
Thanks

Hi, if you are doing OTA it will be 4.2.2 or 4.2.3 at best, you will loose root, but not files or data.
Some apps may stop working or work differently, nothing to worry about.
Thanks and hows that? Major improvements? Something always weird with this one was the greenish tint when shooting with the flash... Is that fixed?
And there is a new chainfire's root out there i guess....
Thanks

Just want to say this isn't correct. Don't know if it's mistyped or something else, but it should be 4.1.2 'at best'.
Last official (thus OTA available) update for S2 will be 4.1.2. Sad as it is, for today's standards it is still acceptable.
what do you guys think about the 4.3 like sentinel rom?

4.1.2 is the latest (and last) official Samsung update. There are 4.2 and 4.3 roms available, but those are custom ones.

Yes i was wrong, long time didn't have to use stock.
As for ROM selection, try PAC rom, (latest nightly 4.3.1) I am really happy with this rom as my dd.
thanks guys, I am about to upgrade, just a question, can I use the OTA update even if my phone is already rooted and I have Siyah kernel on? is it going to break or get stuck?

The OTA will probably fail.....the OTA package looks for a stock setup, and if you've modified that setup in any way (custom kernel) the OTA won't install.....even if it *didn't* fail, the kernel would be overwritten and you'd lose root.
If it were me, I'd make use of chainfires mobile odin, download a jb firmware from sammobile and update that way......

Did you enable the 'ever root' option in mobile Odin?
If not, you'll have to root the phone afterwards (if you want to)
A good place to start is the PhilZ kernel (rooted stock kernel + touch cwm)

cheers, actually no ever root since I used the lite version eh eh... I just rooted with this method w/ Siyah Kernel. worked like a Charm... now I guess I will be busy customizing it.. it seems much faster between home screens I have to say!
thanks again for the help
Gab
Yeah....I guess that's 'project butter' or whatever it's called....it's supposed to give an overall smoother performance........
If you are going to stay with stock, my advice would be to 'de bloat' it.....I used Titanium Backup to freeze the bloat first, then delete it after I'd found out that it wasn't needed/critical for the phone to run.......
