Guys, I tired to flash the s3 look and feel rom from the galasy s2 android development theard on my s2 and now it wont swtich on. It will boot in download mode but no recovery. when I connect it to power, the battery icon only comes on once and then it switches off. Sometimes the screen starts flashing.
Could someone kindly advise how can I get around this?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
If the phone boots only into download mode, that's still a good sign. Just use the Odin tool and flash the new ROM. I know that doesn't help but need to stay calm and find the proper images.

You've obviously flashed it incorrectly or onto a incompatible rom or device variant. Next time read before flashing.
thanks guys,
do I flash a new kernel using odin? if yes, which one?
Thanks again.
Any one you want. Download a stock ICS or GB ROM from sammobile.com, and flash through Odin. Lucky you didn't brick your device, READ TWICE, FLASH ONCE.
Chris.
You should also confirm what model phone you have. Look on the label under the battery. What does it say for model?
flashing the stock firmware is the best option .. that solved my problem in the past .
flash the stock rom using odin . That is the best way to revive a bricked phone .
Oh good lord I hope this guy actually has an i9100.
I do have s2 i900. I am downloading I9100XXLPH.zip as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
Is this ok? or do I need stock rom/kernel? if yes, could you advise where I could get that from?
Thanks

download neatrom lite 4.7.zip and format data/system/preload/cache partitions in recovery. and flash the neatrom zip from recovery and reboot. it includes modem, kernel and rom.
http://d-h.st/UIK here is the link.
my two cents

Hi Fractrox,
Did you do a factory reset after flashing CM rom? If yes, try adding the APNs again under
Settings-> More-> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names, followed by a reboot.
For downgrading , you can find stock rom from sammobile for s2. The latest released is 4.1.2.
Check your location and flash the one for your country so that you get the correct modem file which will help fixing the 3G connection issues.
Hope it helps.
Cheers,
Maddy
i was going to say flash a stock rom via odin, but he said he has had no luck with odin?
and he says he is running cm10.1 already so i know he has cwm, thats why i said neatrom lite...as its less bloated and is rooted, with philz kernel etc,

i have downgraded from cm10.1 to neatrom many times.
good luck.
just remember to format system/preload/cache and data..and then flash neatrom lite from your sd card. let me know if you need any more help.
i'll be on xda for about another hour, then i have to go.
Didn't work. I downgraded but there was no 3G or ROM only kernel. and why does 3G works with stock ROM as the other guy said?

Looking For 4.1.2
In fact I was looking for a solution to switch back to Custom 4.1.2 as it was the perfect ROM so far for me.
I have downloaded it from Sammobile but after Installing it via Odin I am unable to see any network and the Phone's IMIE is changed. I would greatly appreciate anyone to come up with solution for that....
Thanks everyone for being so kind...

Check your IMEI number, wheather it was changed to 0049XXXX - I have had the same problem. I downloaded from Sammobile firmware v4.3 and flash your phone with odin. My IMEI and network connection was restored. Looks like Samsung does not like us to downgrade the firmwares.

Solution.....
Hello guys....
I am very thankful to the xda forum and all the members who helped me to get through a serious problem..
Recently I installed 4.3 Leaked version on my GT-I9300 and the ROM proved to be worst ROM of life. So I decided to go back to 4.1.2.
I installed the custom ROM via Odin but I confronted a serious issue, when I was finished the installation I found that there was no network at all... Samsung's official told me that it is impossible to reverse the Android version...
I had no clue what to do. I flashed many ROMs but no solution at all. My IMIE was also kinda jumbled..
Many guys said it is EFS issue... But it is not EFS issue...
It is all because of different Modem issue.. all you need to do is just install a clean custom ROM from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ and Install the patched modem... you are done..
So here is the solution:
1. Download your desired CUSTOM ROM for your Country from Sammobile...
Link http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/
2. Install the ROM via Odin
3. Root it and Install your favorite recovery.
4. Install the Patched MG4 Modem Zip in Recovery Mode. Link https://www.dropbox.com/s/geispctijp...9300XXEMG4.zip
You are done....
This problem is all about MODEM version, so I don't think if EFS tricks are involved here.....
Finally credits go to all the XDA Members who put their heart and soul to present all the required guidance for me to be able to downgrade to lower Android Version.. I have only compiled the whole stuff into a single thread....
Thanks,,,
Plenty of solutions....

Dear sir,
Actually the problem is not finding the solutions but finding the right solution.
Worth members of XDA Forum post a lot of solutions for a particular problem and thus newbies like me get even more confused... So it definitely takes some time for us to come to a point when we are able to get the desired results.
Sometimes, we are not able to clarify our queries.....
As in my problem only a Modem was required while I was looking for EFS solutions!
After Flashing the MG4 modem my battery life has become worst. I don't know if it is because of the Modem.. but whenever my phone is on airplane mode then the battery remains at the same percentage but while on network my battery keeps on draining without even texting or calling

I can confirm that this method works. XEMB5 (4.1.2 stock rom) on top of the crappy 4.3 update, rooted it and then installed CWM. flashed the patch modem from the link he gave and the XEMB5 rom is working with network running again. but it seems like the battery is awful, 95% in just 10 minutes? lost 5 percent for that short amount of time -_-
then again, thanks for this!

My problem is little different. I can flash any ROM via Odin[DO NOT FORGET TO CHARGE YOUR MOBILE ABOVE 80% battery level!]:
1. Goto recovery by pressing "vo upl+home+power" release when you Samsung's bootloader.
2. Do factory reset/wipe everything.
3. Remove battery for 10secs. Then put it back.
4. Now press "vol down+home+power" to bring it into download mode. Then follow odin flashing procedure. It will work for any Samsung rom. No need to intall any custum roms.
Now going to my problems:
A. My s3 shuts down when it's idle.
B. Bluetooth button does not work. It tries to go to ON position but goes back OFF after 2/3 sec.
After downgrading from earlier 4.3 [SWC] I have even upgraded it with latest 4.1.2 xxemh4 but no luck!
Every thing works network, wi-fi etc. except above two problems!
Help me please!!
I FOUND SOMETHING, WHEN I DO *#1234* IT SAYS CSC: UNKNOWN though my network is ok and wi-fi works fine. Lemme try patching CSC as featherknox suggested!
@featherknox, But your patched modem can not be flashed in recovery[stock] mode as it says "Signature verification failed". HELP ME WHAT I SHOULD DO?

Try going into recovery and formatting data? Can you get into recovery? If not flash stock with Odin and try again
At least if I can go back to stock ROM which is 4.1.2 at least Please help
Thanks allot for your respond. No I am not able to go into the recovery unfortunately. only can go into download mood
What do you want help with? Flashing with Odin? First go to Sammobile.com and get 4.1.2 firmware from there. I'll give you a link for flashing with Odin if you can't find a good one.

at the end was Kies icon
Pick a carrier free one.
But i can't see the option of choosing carrier

If you're planning on rooting and installing a custom ROM again you may as well just go with the Vodaphone one then go from there. I do have a copy of the unbranded one (can't remember where from) so it is out there if you really need it, only downloaded it last week.
I rooted using Philz kernel, if you search XDA for that you will find the info on how to do it and it seemed the easiest way to go...
