EDIT: I took the different way out and backed up the stock rom from another Admire 2 and reflashed, now everything works.

ok, so I was messing around with my galaxy admire 2, and I accidentally soft bricked it. I've looked around on the forums, and got a ROM that is not completely compatible with this generation of Admire 2 I have.
Here are the Baseband and Build Number / Hardware version / Model
Model: SCH-R830C
Baseband: R830CVV(AMI4)
Build: JZO54K.R830CVV(AMG1)
Hardware version: R830C.03
The parenthesis and colored area of Baseband and Build numbers are the things I found are different, my mom has this same exact phone and her build number ends with AMI4 just like her baseband, Which is the STOCK from the Cricket store. I cannot find this rom and I don't want to root her phone in order to copy the rom.
Really the only problem with this rom I installed is that it is amg1, and not ami4, so it is not completely compatible. Example: My Wifi, and Bluetooth no longer turn on and cannot function at all. Which is a feature I kind of need.
Here's the real question: Can someone get a real stock rom of this Cricket Galaxy Admire 2. with the build number ending with AMI4 and not AMG1.
I've heard it called "Second generation hardware" or something from another thread, but still cannot find a real stock rom for this phone.
Though I havn't seen many posts with this phone posting the build number, and baseband versions, so the stock rom's that people upload would vary, though they all seem to be the AMG1 version.
I have no idea if this is in the right category or not of the forums, so if it isn't maybe a mod or someone can move it to the right place.

No lol, I downloaded some toolbox to kinda tweak some system stuff, and it got stuck in a boot loop, so I just downloaded whatever Rom I found that would work with this thing.
I am kind of new to tweaking with android and phones in general, so I didn't really care about backing up the stock at the time, didn't even think about it really, though I also didn't expect the tool to completely soft-brick my phone xD

Ok, so I did some stupid things while trying to install cyanogenmod (my Android friends told me I needed to do this). All was going well until I rebooted using rommanager, and had a signature error (i think). I then pressed ALL OF THE WRONG BUTTONS (probably toggle signature verification i think). Now when i boot the phone it goes:
- o2 animation screen
- galaxy s2 logo
- pause
- o2 animation screen (repeat)
SO.. I'm guessing I need to put the firmware back on there, right? I can get into download mode OK:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-i9100
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (3 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
I'm guessing I can use Odin to install a new OS / firmware.. right? .....right? I would start trying to fix this myself, but I'm guessing the chances of me breaking this even further are *really high*.
If anyone can offer any help, a terrible n00b would be extremely grateful.. Hey if you want any Unity3D advice in exchange, let me know
You have a bootloop. Just download the correct firmware for your phone and flash through odin.

Vile & horrible, lol.
Don't worry mate. Just get it back to a level playing field and then think about custom ROMs, like CM.
Look at the xda bookmarks in my sig and get the official firmware thread. Just get a recent one from there and flash. You should be good to go after that. Everything you need to know is in the 1st post of the thread.
Incidentally, don't listen to anyone that tells you you "need" to do anything. Get the thing working and just use it. A lot of phones are definitely better with custom stuff on them, but this phone really doesn't need it for a great experience. Once you know it well enough to know what more you want then you can start getting custom ROMs in order to do that. Seriously, the stock version of the SGS2 is still better than most phones out there with the best custom ROMs available. It just depends what you want out of it.
ITS WORKING AGAIN!!
Thankfully I made a backup.. and i restored it using clockwork recovery mode.
I want to use it for development, and I am a nerd, so I want to mess around with it a bit.. so now it's working again, back to cyanogen, and to work out what I did wrong!

Glad you got it working mate.
I tried CM7 recently myself, and despite being very careful and following the instructions to the letter I ended up stuck on the boot logo. A reboot into recovery mode fixed it though, automatically, so no harm done.
I guess there's no black and white in these things. Sometimes, "something" just goes wrong.
What kind of development are you gonna be doing? Are you gonna be the next big thing in ROMs or apps?

before doing any more messing around make sure you take a backup of your efs folder this contains your imei number and other stuff. if that buggers up, then you will not be able to fix it yourself. see this thread for a guide of how to backup your EFS folder.

WTF??? A quick Google of SPH-D700 shows that to be the Samsung Epic 4G, which is a Sprint phone. The I9100 is a GSM phone. Sprint is a CDMA network. I hope you're planning on changing carriers if you hope to use the I9100.
Unless you're just confused, and actually ordered a Sprint variant of the Galaxy SII, which is the SPH-D710, or as they call it, the Epic 4G Touch.
Just so I'm clear, the I9100 will NOT work on Sprint's network.
Yea I'm aware that I am on sprint right now. I am aware that the i9100 is GSM, and yes I will be using att.

Hey, I had to check. Some folks just make uninformed decisions and are baffled when the equipment they order doesn't work on their network.
LP6 with my GPS fix works pretty damn well. FM Radio is the only real issue I have encountered. If you want a more ICS experience, push trebuchet or NOVA launcher to /system/app and it will be much better.

It's so popular it's one of those phones - like Desire HD - that's known inside and out Been out in europe for ages, but the US had better carrier specific devices, faster CPUs, etc. At it's core the same device mind.
I was in no rush for ICS but tried WanamLite and all was fine, although the launcher freezes now and then which I put down to a full phone, and an early rom.
This used the CM9 trebuchet launcher. I've got to say almost everything about ICS is cleaner, faster, smoother than previous roms - custom or not. Easy task control, nice display, and little things I still keep discovering like when you connect via USB you get a choice of media device or camera (with the usual USB development option off).
I've had this thing months and must have flashed 50+ roms lol. In the end I stuck with Leomars then the combined Leomar/Checkrom HD because of the kitchen app for easy addons and upgrades.
If youve never used a samsung dont worry, its usually a simple app that will root it and install a recovery console <- very important, cause after that you can flash anything, and as long as you get back to recovery youll be fine. Backup often - complete rom via the recovery (power on, vol down) and a data/app backup with Titanium.
I don't think you need worry about ADB or odin anymore, but if you do just follow instructions on this site...
Your reward? the best phone around esp if the rom you use adds neat things like Jkays extensions, modded apps, kitchens, good theme engine, etc. For pure Android go for AOSP roms, otherwise they're a mish mash of parts.
Change the boot anim if you want, you might get a yellow warning triangle because the sammy knows the roms "illegitimate" but its easily removed.
Finally, should you need to, the stock roms and kernels and modems are here too if you need to get everything back to default, best get them quick as the download sites are dissapearing, or rip yours first before you burn another...
Have fun! You couldn't pick a better handset right now

Just FYI. Bold/Italic/Underlined part is not exactly true. Some of the US carrier specific models have completely different hardware, and have faster clock speeds because they use inferior CPUs.

From what I can tell, you need the insecure KJ2 kernel. That kernel is no longer directly linked on Odia's insecure kernel page, but there's a link to his Hotfile upload site where all older kernels are stored.

Hey there,
Alright so a couple of days ago my WiFi on my Samsung Galaxy S2 phone just started acting weird. By weird I mean the further away I am from my router (like 1 bar wifi signal - opposite end of the house) websites load, however if I'm pretty much next to it with a max bar wifi signal nothing loads (or sometimes they do load but take extremely long)
In short, the further away from router wifi works fast, whereas the closer I am wifi works slow or doesn't even load websites/applications at all.
So what's happening here?
Thanks,
Jason
PS: No I'm not capped, and no one was/is downloading anything when I conducted my tests.

I hope all those details help (if they're things there that I shouldn't be sharing to the public please tell me, so I can remove them). Also, I haven't tried the original factory Rom for this phone to see if that fixes the problem, the only issue I have is I forgot what version and such I'm supposed to use.
Ohh and I bought the phone in Australia, if that's any help.
Remove the FFC ID but the rest is OK Yep, doing a clean install of stock (with wipe) is the next step. Re: which stock rom to use, go to Samfirmware & use the pulldown boxes to choose device/carrier/country & find one for your carrier. Doesn't matter much whether it's ICS or JB (though don't flash 4.0.4 stock; use something else) as you're only doing it to test.
Before you go down that path though, you could try a 'dirty' (without wiping) flash of your current rom/kernel. Though probably unlikely to work, it's worth a try given going back to stock is a bit of a pain. You could also try some other custom kernels given WiFi drivers are in the kernel & flashing a new kernel (and fresh drivers as a result) might fix the problem if it's a case of the drivers being messed up.
It could also be something router-side causing it, but we'll look at the phone-side first before looking at stuff like that.

Alright, So I'm on the SameMobile Firmware site and am now using the drop down boxes, I chose Model: GT-I9100 - Galaxy S II and then I'm stuck with Product Code. What do I chose here? Do I chose Vietnam because the phone was made there or do I chose Australia (Optus) because I remember a Optus boot screen on the original firmware (and the Modem is the same as the Baseband version - I9100XXLS9)?

How do I flash my current rom/kernel? I'm still very new to this whole rom scene, I just go off what I see in videos :/
How do you flash your current rom/kernel again ? To be really honest with you (and I'm not saying this to offend you), if you're asking that question you probably shouldn't be messing with your phone in the first place.
The same way you flashed it in the first instance.
If you still really don't know how to flash a rom or kernel, you really need to read the threads stickied at the top of Q&A and also the guides/tutorials stickied near the top of General. I'm not about to regurgitate stuff like that purely because you're unsure of what to do when that stuff has been asked/answered here thousands of times over the past two years. Also, just doing stuff without understanding what you're doing can easily lead to a busted phone.
Re: which stock firmware to choose, it doesn't matter (as I said in my PP), I just said choose one for your carrier because that's what I'd do, if you had Optus firmware on it previously, you can go with that. It's not really of any consequence.
However...
You need to read all of my PP. I did say to try reflashing your current custom rom/kernel first because this will be quicker/easier than going back to stock.

Oh I know what you meant by flash, it's just my lingo that Is off. Dw I understand what you meant now.
Okay, I reflashed my current rom (which was SuperNexus 3.0 Build 1) and that didn't fix the problem any bit.
Okay, now that i've finished downloading the original firmware you say, "doing a clean install of stock (with wipe) is the next step". How exactly do I do a clean install? Does that mean wipe everything, un-root, I've never done this before?
You don't seem to be reading everything I've posted:-

Am i right in thinking you are coming from an iPhone? Rooting an android phone isn't like jailbreaking in the sense that no matter what firmware you have, you can still root your phone and flash custom ROMs.

No, never had an iphone, never will i hope. I have had several android phones (moto defy, galaxy s/s2/s3, xperia s, htc desire hd). My qustion is whether it's a complicated method or is it root->cwm->flash type of thing...I just got it and don't wanna mess anything badly without knowing.
Haha nevermind, it was just asking for registering my device. Oddly enough it's already update, don't know if it's normal.
Anyways i would like to have some info about how flashing works on S3 because i have had phones where "unlocking bootloader" and actually letting the company know that the device has been unlocked like in xperia s case. So i just need some info regarding the method. Also some info whether it's worth flashing a specific version or rom out there that provides a better overall experience than stock.

All of the GT-i9300 phones (that's the model number for the international version) have the boot loader unlocked. All you need to do is, like you said, root it, flash CWM, and flash the ROM of your choice.
Samsung did implement a flash counter which will turn from 0 to 1 when anything is flashed, there is an app on the play store that can change it back to 1 called Triangle Away.
Personally i use cyanogenmod, if you don't know, it is the most popular ROM right now (i think) and it is based on AOSP (the Android source code from Google) but with many tweaks and added features that make it much faster and a better experience than stock. Right now I'm running the unofficial KitKat 4.4 version.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2529775
A lot of people get scared by the word "unofficial" but after a few weeks of running it i haven't had a single issue.
I use a custom kernel so i can overclock and undervolt, it's the boeffla 2.1-beta2.
http://boeffla.df-kunde.de/sgs3/boe...st/boeffla-kernel-CM-2.1-beta2-cm11.0.CWM.ziphttp://boeffla.df-kunde.de/sgs3/boeffla-kernel-cm/cm11.0_download/Test/boeffla-kernel-CM-2.1-beta2-cm11.0.CWM.zip
wait so the counter stays at 1? no way to make it 0?
Oh sorry, typo Triangle Away resets the counter to 0
I tried to install a new custom rom on my Samsung Galaxy GT-18730 (thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792157), it asked me to install and flash a baseband thing with odin, which I did. Because of that, I can't get any audio from my phone, can't play videos, and I can't send or receive calls even when I restore to my original official android. How do I get that custom thing off so I can get my sound and stuff back?
It seems that the inconsitency of the sound working for some and not others revolves around whether you have the "T" version of the phone or not. You didn't mention which you have but I would look into that. You already know the thread for it because I saw your posts there.

What do you mean by "T"?

Mine is 8730.
Please check what baseband is installed now, what region your phone is from, and if your IMEI is still listed correctly. I'd like to list the first 2 but not the IMEI, obviously, just5 whether it's still there after you restored the stock rom. If not, that's other mess. And the region matters because certain Samsung phones act weird with basebands and other files from different ones even though it is from the same system update version.

Baseband: I8730XWAMK1, that's what they told me to install on the thread.
Region.. well, I'm not sure where it's "from", but I live in the Caribbean.
