It seems you have a custom ROM (Revolt JB) on your device. That ROM is not based on Samsung's ROMs (hence the crappy camera issue for you). So Kies is useless too.
To get back your old ROM, simply download the appropriate stock firmware for your device from www.samsung-updates.com or www.androidfirmwares.net, extract it and flash via Odin. Don't know how to do that? Check out the stickied guides here on XDA.
P.S. Being a newbie is not an excuse for not searching or reading. So stop being one and start learning. :good:
Good luck! And feel free to ask questions if you get confused.

Oops.. guess your reply came as I was typing mine, so I didn't see it.
that explains the crappy camera then and my connection problem too lol ive come frm iphone to this and ws enjoying it and gettting to grips with it,i loved the 8mp camera for starter and also the screen size compared to the iphone..
what is odin and what do you mean by flash it? it ws on 4.2.2 btw all upto date.
right guys,i have managed to download odin and also a uk 4.1.2 jellybean. upon entering download mode when connected i cant get the first diag box to turn yellow. Its blue. it does say 'added' at the bottom left box tho. driver install get installed and ready top use. a mate got it to turn yellow but seems its not working for me.
now where do i go from here?
Thanks
YAY i done it..go me loOl its unlocked too straight to giffgaff and also 3 didnt show up on start up. which is a good thing if i decide to sell it some time in future. i dont suppose there is a way of getting rid of all the jargon samsung apps that come with it is there?
OH i first joined up android forum and all i got was alod of jargon. people jumping in on my subject taking the topic off topic,4 pages later. i told them what i wanted to do but didnt succeed.
I got straight to the point on here within 1 /2 respones so thanks for that

Don't worry mate. Odin v3.x shows blue colour, while Odin v1.xx shows yellow colour. Which version did you use?
Good to see you're reading stuff and finding answers on your own. :good:

Wow.. that was fast!
You can root it to remove bloatware mate.
yeah i googled the blue screen.
I thought thats what my mate was originally was doing. root/in it,he said it'd get rid of l bloatware on it and my battery and stuff will last and run quicker.
I was reading up on bloatware but i havnt got a sd card to do. Ive only had the phone few month and 16gb is fine for me so not bought one.
Slight problem tho. it wont rotate to normal screen. it will rotate 90 to the side,then to the otherside but it wont go back upright. Never had that problem last time :/

Before anything i must say that i already tryed reflashing through odin a complete firmware ( CSC+MODEM+PDA)i9100xxkpa(ics) and tryed the method involving the galaxy s 2 repair app from the market
What can i do ,i want to try flashing the stock orange romania firmware on it , i dont know how it got like this ,i only know i received it with the flash counter triged and without any baseband or imei
That's nice, always check the device you're being sold to. Good deal at least?
My advice to you is to flash a ROM and get a clean start, no pre-installed BS by previous owner.
First off, you're gonna have to retrieve your IMEI, check under the battery and write it down.
After you power it on, dial *#06# and see what numbers pops up, write it down.
Check if both numbers are the same.
If they match, you're good to go. Time for good ol' xda reading before flashing and what not.
If they don't match, report back so we can get your IMEI back.
@gastonw - It belongs to a friend , it has no aseband ,and it shows no imei
I already tryed to flash it (clean) with a stock firmware , any suggestions other than that ?

What happened when you flashed that ROM? still no baseband?
Before flashing anything you/he need/s to get the IMEI number back.

Okay, if it gets hot near the camera turn it off and let it cool off for a bit.
If you can, give me the IMEI info you/he's already got (under the battery & *#06#).
I can help you, but you cannot keep on flashing like there's no tomorrow, just chill out and we'll sort it out sooner rather than later.
If you give someone on an internet forum your actual IMEI, you need your head read. You do realise IMEI's are bought/sold & phones 'rebirthed' ? Don't give your IMEI to people on forums, regardless of what they might be promising you.

Okay then, you've got a generic IMEI.Try this
Actually, it gives you a blank (geez, I really gotta get some sleep), no generic IMEI. Get this app and try it out.
Im gonna try after i come back fro mthe gym ,gonan report if any progress is made

Ok, good luck
sadly it didnt work , any other method ?
first of all sorry if this is a repeated thread, very new to this site and no offense intended. please point me in the right direction if this is the case.
phone is very unresponsive with either a battery symbol (with circle inside - frozen) or galaxy s2 load up screen with triangle. I have previously rooted the phone with a litening rom through odin v 1.85. i was running a version of ICS on it and this morning i tried to upgrade to jellybean as a forum on this site had said it was possible. firstly in clockwork mod (holding power, vol up and home button) somewhere through the process of putting the file on the phone (instructions said to carry out the process through the clockwork mod) i have made a grave error. If I was able to get the phone to be recognised by the laptop I would be able to flash another stock kernel through odin to at least get me back functional and worry about tweaking later. Currently the phone won't recognise as a drive to the laptop though. Any advice people? Perhaps a suggestion also of a location of stock kernel for australian samsung galaxy s2 (using the virgin network).
That's just a soft brick, don't worry about it .
We got plenty of threads about phone not being recognized by PCs.

Hi (newb alert)
First of all thanks for all the info - followed the pistacchio thread to regenerate phone, that worked great. however, now once the phone is going again, repeatedly getting an overvoltage error message (did not have before) and the battery dying very quickly. I also cannot access the 3G network, but wifi is fine.
Can you recommend a course of action for this, not sure if i have flashed back to a complete stock rom or not, does that mean that the phone is still rooted? I would like to flash another rom if possible, but am not asking what one to use (have seen the rules of the site Sometimes the battery is even flashing . kernel version is 3.0.15-I9100XXLPH-CL118559 and build number is IML74K.XXLPH.
Any more info needed I am happy to provide. I was really happy with the slim ICS rom and would like to stick with that in the jellybean option if possible.
thanks
Go as stock as possible before going custom again.
See if issues persists.
Make sure you flash the right ROM for your device, noticed you're on I9100 ROM and you've only stated you own an "s II" , so, I cannot recommend any specific ROM because of the variants.

Hey, Guys I had the CM10 Jelly Bean rom downloaded from Rom Manager (I know I shouldnt have used Rom Manager but too late). The rom was giving me problems of low call volume and mic, Losing signal and some other stuff so someone suggested me to use Dark Side Super Wipe and reinstall the rom. I did and Now the phone won't boot up it stays on the CM screen and the Nothing works in the recovery. I tried back and restore doesnt work, Tried installing super wipe again doesnt work. Reseting phone to factory doesnt work. So basically im stuck. I did my search couldnt find anything similar to my problem so I decided to post here. Next step I was going to take is put it on download mode and flash stock rom with ODIN but before I do that I wana get advice from you experts.
I made a short video describing the problem so please take a look to get a better idea of what im talking about. Unfortunately forums wont let me post the links because i have less than 10 posts so please type the title on youtube with my username
Title: Galaxy S2 wont boot up and nothing works in recovery

Ok I am new to XDA. I tried to post my question in Almost All Huawei Stock Roms (Firmware) - Updated 28/06/12
This is the only place I have found that might have what I need. But of course the one place I need to post in..... I cant.. for some reason I need ten posts to be able to do this.
I dont want to post a bunch of useless posts just to be able to post in one forum.
I am not an expert at this but nor am I a complete noob, so I will cast my line out here and hope I get a bite.
I am looking for the stock rom for the Huawei ascend II M865c from straight talk (Sprint ver)
So if anyone could help out that would be great.
Thank you .
Or perhaps mods could see fit to allow me the privelage to post in the thread I need to post in.

First off, I am completely new to the android operating system. Ive used iOS since the day the first iPhone was released and have always been in the jailbreaking scene since day one. I don't know any android lingo, so im not exactly sure what what to seach on this website to help get me out of this situation.
Today I rooted my phone, and installed clockwork mod. Watched a boatload of videos online of all sorts of things you can do with root. After installing CW, i rebooted my phone and it would get stuck small blue letters in the top left of the screen saying something about recovery, then continue to vibrate every few seconds. I was able to get the S3 into download mode and now i have no idea what to do with odin to get it to boot back up. Can anyone direct me to a thread that has a download link to re install the OS on my phone if that's whats needed?
Thanks
