Hi all, I don't know why this is so complex but my phone wont boot so cant get info off it to find out what rom is needed and I also can't find any live links for stock Roms they are all dead or behind a paywalls.
I attempted to use [ROM][UNOFFICIAL][10.0.0][r37][I9100] LineageOS 17.1 instead and it says failed during the first odin steps something about partition.
What direction should I be going and is there anything im missing? Just want a working phone stock or unofficial I don't mind.

I think it's unbranded but unsure
Hi,
check "samsungsfour.com" I found there a lot oft Stock ROMs for Samsung phones.
I download the latest build from Poland and flashed it via Odin on my S2.
Afterwards my phone was ready for the install instructions of the thread you mentioned with flashing this pit file and the corresponding recovered.
Then I flashed the current recovery and the latest build (19th July).
Good luck!
BTW: my phone stuck in bootlop after flashing this stock ROM and I don't know why but nevertheless I could go straight with LOS17.
Edit: check this instead:

Now, I am using the CM7.1 ROM but the camera isn't work!!! I don't want to use the CM7.1 anymore and I want to flash the the original ROM(HK official ROM).How can I get the ROM and how to do that?
I want to know 'Is the way to flash original ROM same as flash CM7.1(put the CM7.1 into sdcard and setup)?'
Can anyone help me?
Yes. The process of flashing Stock ROM is same.
Here you can find the your Stock Rom/Official Firmware...

I have read this post before.He did that by used Odin.He didn't put the ROM into sdcard.This is the point that I don't understand.
odin do it from ur pc/laptop
cwm do it from sdcard
different file types
just dont know will he update the telecom nz firmware or not ==
have been looking for a long long time...
You means I can follow him to flash the rom?
If I need the ZSKG2,do I need to download XXKG1 too?
(I can't find XXKG1 to download in his post...)
Just download ZSKI3 from the link above:

After that, follow the steps on "Flashing Firmware with Odin" from the post.
Now I just need to down the ROM of ZSKI3 and the kernel of ZSKI3?I don't need to comprehend the XXKI3?
No. You download the official kernel if you do not have a USB jig available to you and you want to remove the yellow triangle at boot.
If you have a USB jig, skip the kernel.
Just download the big ROM file then flash it in the PDA section of Odin. It will automatically flash ZSKI3's firmware, modem and CSC into your phone.

Trying to flash stock HK firmware since encountering a boot loop
Sorry for posting in this old thread but I didn't feel comfortable starting a new thread. Hope everyone doesn't mind!
I am trying to deal with a boot loop error and wanted to get the official stock HK firmware. I didn't prep for this unexpected error properly but I don't have any info I can check under settings since I cannot get back into the main menu.
I got my phone in HK but I took it home to be on a Canada provider. I got it around Nov 2011. I am sure I had Gingerbread and I think it might have been Android 2.3.5. I DID NOT have any custom rom on my device to begin with.
I'm trying to find the difference between official firmware ZSKG2 and ZSKI3 and which one I should get. Does anyone have any insights?
Does anyone also know where I can get it?
The files became non-existent on this page:

Thanks Spiralzz! I was on the samfirmware site before without registering and I cannot find anything that matches Gingerbread. The matches I found are all Android ver 4.
I will try that and if I have any questions, I will come back on this thread.

[GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII (I9100G/M/P/T VERSION INCLUDED!)

Hi Everyone,
I was trying to root my phone using the insecure kernel and Odin but once this was flashed, my phone got stuck at the boot logo. I can get to Download mode to flash another kernel or stock ROM. I can also go into Recovery where I am getting a lot of errors such as E: can't mount /cache, can't mount /recovery log. Wiping the cache and factory reset don't seem to work as they produce more errors.
The problem is I did not note down my baseband and kernel version before rooting. So now , I don't really know which stock ROM to flash to get my phone working again. Does anyone of you know how I get know my baseband and kernel version to choose an appropriate Stock Kernel and ROM? And does anyone know what I might need to do to get the phone working again?
Thanks very much for any help, guys.
Does anyone of you know how I get know my baseband and kernel version to choose an appropriate Stock Kernel and ROM?
Your location and network is the deciding factor .
You require stock rom not plus a kernel.
Stock Roms .and csc

Hi jje,
Thanks for your reply.
I'm from the UK and the phone is locked to T-mobile..
I have tried flashing a stock rom for T-mobile in the UK (BOKE3:http://www.multiupload.com/GY05UJM6DQ
Firmware info: PDA:BOKE3|PHONE:BOKD1|CSC:TMUKE3) and my phone is still stuck on the boot logo and showing the mount errors in Recovery mode.
Also, I was not too sure whether to flash the stock kernel that comes with it and I did it. You're saying that I don't need to flash the stock kernel. So, now that I've already done this, will this affect my phone? Do I need to flash another stock kernel for it to work?
Thanks again for your help. I appreciate it very much.
Is it possible for us to repartition to 2 partitions only?
If it's any help I am suffering the same issue can't mount /cache when I flash any rom other than the current t-mobile (UK) 2.3.5 which I got from sammobile
Can't embed links so just download the last UK t-mobile image shown in their list
If anybody can point me towards a solution as I am more used with HTC phones as from previous experiance t-mobile will be really slow about releasing ICS (they where about 3 months behind the official HTC desire ROMs)
Hi,
my sister is having a problem trying to downgrade to stock rom after she put a cusom rom (I9100XXPL6) on her phone and is having some issies with it. she didnt take note of some vital information before she flashed it and i think she didnt follow steps properly and she did not backup her phone.
currently her phone says the following when doing *#1234#
Phone bought in UK
PDA: I9100XXLP6
Phone: I9100XXLP6
CSC: Unknown
Build: January 17 2012
she has tried going to stock but it soft bricked her phone so she reflashed her phone with I9100XXLP6 and got it working again, i asked her where she got the rom from and she does not know, the phone was flashed when not rooted etc, as the guide she used said that it didnt have to be done, also she cannot remember what guide she followed.
all i know is that she had 2.3.6 and that her phone was from phones4u in the UK (guessing unbranded) and flashed it though odin (she cannot remember what she done, i guess she had Kies running maybe, i read alot of other posts). i have checked the thread for stock roms but all the links are multiupload which is not longer valid as we know.
i have never flashed a galaxy S2 I9100 and i have never used the phone at all. if anyone knows what stock rom to use and if they can mirror the relevant files it would be appreciated
have looked at [GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII but the kernal and bootloader links are multiupload and can only get the recovery package
i have experiance flashing phones and tablets just not the galaxy S2, any help would be apreciated
this is the correct thread for unbranded firmwares
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
find your UK unbranded FW and flash through ODIN
Search Sammobile to find stock firmware to flash via Odin.
sammobile firmwares all have the correspondent new firmwares bootloaders. so if you flash a FW from sammobile you won't be able to reset the custom binary counter via a Jig. download from Intratech's thread.
oh, and you do not have to follow the soft bricked thread if your phone is working.
just download a FW, put phone in download mode and flash using Odin.
Do what the others have said but make sure you read all the instructions! There are a few howto videos here http://galaxys2root.com/category/galaxy-s2-root/. Just remember your UK phone is the International i9100 model. Good luck.
Thanks for the help, I git the phone back to stock rom

Hello,
I'm attempting to return my I9100 to stock so I can update via KIES as I wish to sell it, after rooting, flashing ICS, playing around for a month etc...
It was originally a T-mobile handset, I used checkfus to find the original stock ROM, and I've downloaded it, however, I cannot get hold of the stock kernel for love nor money! (I've googled it, found one apparent alternative source, but for some reason it wont boot using this and just keeps looping through the T-mobile branded load-up screen)
The kernel I'm after is the following:

I've read the thread and checked both Sammobile and Samsung-update and neither has the BOKE3 Kernel.
If anyone has this, please, please could you upload it so I can return my handset to stock, I would really appreciate it.
Also, if I'm doing anything obviously wrong, please point me in the right direction, I am a n00b at this. (I've successfully reset my counter using triangle away, and flashed the ROM from checkfus, but KIES still says NO!)
Many thanks!

ps. I realise now I should have backed up my stock kernel and ROM before tweaking, stupid stupid stupid...
I stopped reading somewhere when you say you downloaded using checkfuS and now after a stock kernel.........
Buddy ROM package like you get from checkfus is whole thing including kernel.
Just flash the ROM using Odin.
But be sure its for i9100 if you have that.

Why don't you just download and flash latest ICS ROM with UK support?
Do you really need the branded version?
Just have a look at Intratech's other thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
I recommend XWLPD, as this has best balance between performance and battery life on my phone.
If you want to go bak to GB, then flash XWLA4, which was best GB ROM IMO.
Thank you so much atifsh!
I did wonder whether the firmware download from CheckFus included the kernel, but couldn't figure it out (I'm stupid, I know! I'm new at this stuff...)
It's definitely the i9100 (checked under battery), it's definitely a T-mobile UK handset (bought it from a T-mobile customer who provided the contract paperwork).
Last night I tried flashing the latest T-mobile firmware, but KIES didn't like it, so tried flashing the BOKE3 firmware (oldest T-mobile branded firmware) and it didn't like that either.
Someone mentioned that when flashing you need to add the firmware file to the CSC section of odin to reset the CSC code, is this correct? I normally only include it in the PDA section.
This may be the problem I'm having as when I check my CSC using *#272*IMEI# it only lists CPW (carphone warehouse) and not TMU (T-mobile). Does this make sense as to why KIES wouldn't recognise the firmware?
I really appreciate your input and help here. Many thanks!
Luke
Hi It_ler,
Thanks for the advice, I was running the latest ICS firmware from the official thread, however I've decided to sell the device and would like to restore it to stock so that whomever I sell it to can update it through the official methods if they so wish.
Hope that makes sense!
Luke
Remove Sim, remove external sdcard.
Put the firmware.md5 in pda
Put your phone in download mode
after flash and boot dial *2767*3855#
It will wipe your phone and hopefully fix your csc.
Atifsh,
Thank you SO much! You saved my bacon. It worked when I did the *2767*3855# reset, this fixed the CSC and then the phone could update via KIES.
I really appreciate you help,
Many thanks,
Luke
Goodmorning everybody,
I'm afraid i need some help with this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/fix-s3-to-factory-unroot-stock-recovery-t2323847) guide i'm trying to follow.
Except nobody is answering on my reply so that's the reason why i'm opening a new thread. forgive me if this is not the right section.
I'm pretty noob in all this so i will try to explain my situation as good as possible so that you can help me in the best ways you can and want to do.
The beginning
about a half year ago i thaught it was cool to have a custom rom on my galaxy s3 GT-I9300.
I did this with the help of a friend.
I first adjusted the recovery to clockwork and installed cyanogenmod.
The exact details of my phone at this moment are:
modelnumber GT-I9300
Cyanogenmod-version
11-20140708-Snapshot-M8-I9300
Android version 4.4.4
Smalbandversion I9300XXUGNA8
Kernel version 3.0.64-CM-g5e96596
CPU ARMv7 processor rev 0 (v7I)
Build number CM_i9300-userdebug 4.4.4 KTU84Pd9438c2c60 test-keys
I've got a new phone and want to give this phone to my sister or sell it.
I don't need it back to stock for warranty.
I just want to hand over a clean and simple phone.
The problems i'm running in to are...
I did download and install triangle and i tried to reset binary counter.
The counter stays at 1 and the kernel stays at custom. the last visable option says official after triangle.
I also did flash the original recovery with Odin, (jaj this worked) because i can start up in the original recovery mode and not in CWM.
Before i do a full wipe i want to know what the problem will be when i install stock firmware with a binary counter on 1.
And this leads me to my second more important problem.
I can't find which stock firmware i need.
When i try to dial the codes to look up which one you need. I get a error message that it isn't possible to view this information.
I personally think i need: Galaxy S 3 (International) GT-I9300 PRO I9300XXALF5 Android 4.0.4 07.06.2012 686526 Unlock
there are 2 mirrors on of which is not workiong and the other downloads at 50kb/s and stops at around 90 mb in of the 700 total file size.
Can anyone tell me which stock firmware i need and where to download it? i've searched google (ofcourse) but can't find any.
I live in belgium, this phone was bought in Belgium but i have a dutch simcard working in it from the provider youfone.
This is a sim-only provider and they use the network form a bigger company called KPN.
I really hope someone can help me with this because i'm too afraid to do something wrong and brick my phone.
Sorry for being a noob don't bash please!
Thanks in advance for all your replies!
Grtz
Just flash the latest stock firmware for your country using Odin then factory reset in recovery before booting. Download from sammobile.com
You are confusing yourself with all the other things you are trying.
