Is it necessary to root the phone before we can flash a different modem version or can we just conect it and flash via ODIN?
I've searched around for this, but couldn't find any clear answer. The posts on moden flashing says "use ODIN" but doesn't indicate wether rooting is needed or not.
Can someone help me? Thanks in advance
rooting is not needed when flashing with odin.
You need to be rooted in order to use CWM.
@Cosmic Blue : Thanks for the clarification
In odin, I just need to select the required modem file against the Phone section and then flash, right?

read it like 10 times before flashing..otherwise another "I bricked my phone" will start
N yes in ODIN select the file in PDA section and flash.
"Click on the PDA button and browse to the .tar or .tar.md5 file that you extracted in
If the package has more than one .tar archive then they will be labelled with PDA, Phone/Modem and CSC. Just put them in the corresponding section of Odin "

If you dont know what thats for, then i suggest you dont play around with it :S
where do i put the stock firmware
i just downloaded all four this morning and i only used the stock firmware in PDA in odin
do i still have to flash the other 3?
thx
Or just the firmware is ok?
You're asking us about flashing instructions for firmware you downloaded from another site. How bout going to that site & following their instructions for flashing same ?
no i already flashed the stock firmware, and i dont c any problems within a day.
just wonder what are the other 3 downloads use for and do i still have to flash them?

Stock firmware should be the full file with PDA Modem and CSC
No mention of 3 files in the instructions there .
How to install the latest firmware on your phone. This will also get rid of Bell's bloatware:
1) Make sure you have working drivers installed on your computer. If you do not, the easiest way is to download Kies and it will install it for you.
2) Install Odin 1.85 on your computer (attached at the bottom of this post)
3) Pick any firmware version you would like to flash from Intratech's thread linked here. The firmware is arranged from oldest to newest so the last ones are obviously going to be the newest.
4) Start Odin in "administrator" mode and make sure Kies is not running in the background. Use task manager to check
5) Place your downloaded firmware .tar or .md5 file into the PDA section in Odin. Make sure re-partition is not selected. Auto reboot and reset time should be selected by default.
The stock rom link says
If the package only contains one .tar archive then it will have everything, pda+phone+csc, in the one file.
If it has multiple .tar archive then:
The .tar with modem in the name is the phone/baseband bit of the package
.tar with csc/multi-csc in the name is the csc bit of the package
.tar with code/PDA in the name is the PDA part of the firmware package
If this is the case you will need to put these .tar archives in the specific areas of Odin to flash the update
thx
yea it didnt mention about the other 3 packages in that post
but i think as long as i flashed the stock one, i should be fine and dont need to care the others right?
i upgraded to 4.2.2 but it didnt unclude the root file, could someone please give me a link, sorry im noob

Odin packages instructions
They come in the form of .tar.md5 file
boot into download mode
start odin3 and configure it as in picture below
connect phone in download mode to PC via USB
press start to flash the tar.md5 package
normally, phone should auto-reboot into recovery.
If it reboots into android and your recovery remains stock, repeat above steps and untick "autoreboot" in odin. Once flash is done, keep pressing power button + home + vol up until it reboots (always will go to recovery)
when in recovery, if you choose option "reboot system now" and you get "yes - disable flash recovery", select that option to avoid stock recovery overwriting cwm
I really really suggest you avoid rooting or flashing anything at all until you can be bothered to read the basic faqs and guides .
YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.

I know this is beating a dead horse but I am relatively new to this.
A friend of mine was doing a standard software update (no flashing), and apparently it got stuck in ODIN mode. Based on the info I have found, it appears to be hard bricked.
I have never flashed an S2 before and I am confused as to what to do to get the phone functioning again.
Can someone post step by step instructions along with what files I need to get this phone working
Thanks
Happy to help if we can, but we need more information.
I assume from what you say that the attempt was to upgrade to the most current operating system via Kies? And during the update, the update failed taking the phone to "odin mode" screen?
Please verify this, or correct it.

Yes that is what he is saying. I wasn't there when he attempted to update the S2, but he contacted me via Facebook looking for assistance
You can flash exactly the same stock firmware that Kies would have upgraded the phone to using Odin and a Windows PC. The only difference is that the installed programs and user settings will be lost.
First go to the Download Repository (link in signature) and find the link to download Odin3 v1.85 near the top of the page, and get that. You will also need the "Samsung USB driver for mobile phones" installed on the Windows PC. If you don't have that, you can get it from the Samsung website.
Now go to the bottom of the Download Repository page and get the latest stock firmware from the section titled I777UCMD8 Stock Binaries (Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean).
Boot into recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset. Then, flash that in Odin. If you are unfamiliar with the process, I'll be happy to post instructions.

Oh man, this advice saved me when I attempted to flash a Siyah kernel on my stock i777. I was able to get back to the stock 2.3 w root using your one click flash, but I am having trouble getting anything else to work. I attempted to flash CMW and various ROMs but I always get the
"e failed to verify whole-file signature" and have gotten no where. I cant even get past installing clockworkorange without seeing that error.
Thanks

"e failed to verify whole-file signature" means you are trying to flash custom (unsigned) firmware with stock 3e recovery. You must install a custom kernel which contains a custom ClockworkMod recovery in order to flash custom firmware.
Please read through the guide How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash counter!! linked in my signature in order to grasp the principles involved. Just remember that guide is old. If you flashed the latest stock firmware, you should use Framaroot to root the phone, then use Mobile Odin lite or Mobile Odin Pro to flash the custom kernel. If you are on UCMD8 you can use the AJK v4.9 No Swap kernel.
Edit: Just re-read your post - wasn't paying attention. So evidently you are still on stock gingerbread with root. You need to flash a custom Gingerbread kernel. Try this one. You can use the tar directly in Mobile Odin.
Or alternatively, go to the Download Repository and flash the stock UCMD8 from the bottom of the page. Then follow the second paragraph above.
just thought id put this up since i haven't seen it posted.
this is the full OD3 stock Rom tar.MD5 file
it is odin Flashable.
I will warn you alot of people are saying once they upgraded to this bootloader they couldnt get OA6 roms to flash so beware.
any download mirrors would be appreciated
Here is another link but this one you have to unzip then use Odin to flash the tar file inside thanks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=61215093
download
use odin 3.10.6 but i believe 3.10.0 will work also
put the file in the AP slot and flash
you will most likely lose root but here it is any way
https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=cd08ce789eb6b040!141
It should be noted that if anyone flashes this firmware they will NOT be able to flash back to a previous firmware.
i will also note that some people could gain root with chainfire and flash custom recovery through odin then restore backups of OA6 but again beware

Wasn't sure about chainfire's root method on this version since I'm not running it, so hopefully it still works. @Ramer has uploaded this as well to a file hosting site so if he doesn't see this, ask him for a link for his download link so you can add a mirror site to the OP as an alternate if you like.

Here the file I put up on AFH: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952615017
I have to question the title of this thread though. This is NOT flashable in recovery. It's the zip file that must be unzipped on a PC and then Odin the tar file. It's the original one from Sammobile.
The OP gives correct instructions, I just think the word flashable is bound to confuse someone.

thanks for the mirror it says right in the OP "Odin" flashable
also in the instructions it says to open odin use the ap slot etc
plus if anyone tried to recovery flash it would just fail, no damage done
thanks

You are correct. It's probably just my hesitation to using the word flashable and odin at the same time. I've lost count of how many users see a zip and think "I'll flash this"
Tried this and I still show BOA6 software and baseband ? Also after I installed it on odin I didnt like it much so I was able to flash MOAR after I flashed OD3. weird

Looks exactly like BOA6. They just added some extra security features like activation lock to the security settings.

Pull your battery out. wait a few seconds. put battery back and boot into odin/download mode. vol down+home+power
then odin the tar
it will work
Had the same problem, wasn't able to flash back to BOA6 using odin had to flash OD3 to get the phone back and running
not sure about rooting, but my hotspot is still enabled from previous root that i loss when updating to OD3
You can still flash OA6 roms as.long.as.you have a custom recovery and.root

Yes. Once flashed don't reboot. Pull the battery and go back into download mode and flash twrp. Img in the ap slot
You can find the file at Moars op under recovery and odin
After you flash the custom recovery image pull battery boot into recovery from recovery hit reboot. It will then prompt you that there's no root and would you like to root. Choose yes. Tada

I did as instructed, but the TWRP that i loaded did not ask for a root option, it did some updates, then it automatically reboots the phone, I pull the battery, then reboot it back into recovery again, and reboot it back into recovery from the recovery screen, it ask me to install super user, i say yes, then reboot back into system now it has a icon that says Superuser installer, I click on it and choose TWRP, gives me error
