[Galaxy S II General] happy20b:
Hi All,

My Galaxy S II is from Saudi Arabia and I am living in India. I flashed CM9.1 stable and then CM10-Nightly was happy with CM10-nightly but it drains the battery a lot. So decided to try flashing stock samsung "I9100XWLPX" firmaware.

So i was running Cm-10 nightly build. I put my cell in download mode, opened ODIN, it was able to detect my S II, then clicked on PDA, chose firmware file ***.tar.md5 or water it is there inside the firmware zip file. Then clicked start. ( do i have to follow any steps before flashing through odin? like clearing cache/dalivk/data ?)

All went well, flashing completed with PASS message in green. Then cell got rebooted automatically and i closed ODIN.

Got splash screen and then boot animation where Letter "S" shines with color. And it wil be there for ever. I waited around 10 minutes and boot animation was still running. :( :(

Now dont know why didnt boot. So flashed back CM9.1 stable all over again..

Please some one help me in getting stock firmware.

Thanks

Regards.

Maybe you should pull out the battery, 3 button combo to enter recovery, wipe factory reset and then reboot.
[Galaxy S II General] j2002:
I suppose the problem is with wipe. When you come back from a custom ROM to a stock one it's always needed.
[Galaxy S II General] happy20b:
Hmmm i guessed so. But i thought ODIN will do it :p.. So right now i am using CM9.1 ROM with CWM recovery.

So,

I should boot to CWM recovery

wipe data, cache and dalvik

reboot phone in download mode

flash stock firmware through ODIN like before

and reboot the phone.

I missed first two steps.. I will try this out once i go back from office :)

Thank you guys.. :)
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Yes, if you only want to flash stock kernel, then flash the separate kernel file of XWLPD.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II General] ssalehh:
Le

Thanks but plz can u download it and upload it to google ?

Cuz am using mobild and i couldnt download it
[Galaxy S II General] j2002:
Nobody knows how to try that and if it deserves the effort?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Try this one => https://www.androidfirmwares.net/PhoneKernel/Download/54

It's from Intratech's Official Firmware thread, so the passwrd for the zip file is "intratech@XDA".

Good luck !

Is it safe to flash the XWLPX 4.0.4 PDA with Odin only, and to keep modem and csc from 4.0.3?

thanx
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Yes, I flashed XWLPX with Mobile Odin app and combined it with another CSC (XEULPA).

And if you want to use another modem, feel free to flash it.

In Mobile Odin app (needs root) you can first select the XWLPX ROM files (with "Open file"), then select the Modem and clear it to keep the existing.

For the CSC, you can select "Hidden" and "Cache" to clear it too, but I recommend to select the CSC (or ROM containing the CSC you want).

Sometimes Mobile Odin app does not apply the CSC properly if it is cleared.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II General] milu_m:
It's for devices like I757 or I9210 which are LTE versions: Galaxy SII HD LTE and Samsung Galaxy S II LTE.

Rather not compatible with generic I9100 because of radio although other things like apps might be the same or just similar.

[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
CSC = Customer sales code.

It contains customizations of a special mobile provider/carrier, usually some "bloatware", sometimes games, apps, videos, etc.

So, the CSC seems not as important as other parts of the firmware IMO.
[Galaxy S II General] j2002:
There's a second OTA for this ROM in Sammobile dated today. Has anyone the download link?
[Galaxy S II General] [-Mac-]:
There is a new OTA update (18 Sep 2012) for GT-i9100 Germany of 229.9MB?

Seems that Samsung has changed strategy, now it's very difficult to update by your yourself, only OTA update.

Yes, I have no issues with this kernel.

But when you want to wipe in recovery, then I recommend to flash a kernel with MMC_CAP_ERASE flag disabled, such as latest SpeedMod or SiyahKernel.
[Galaxy S II General] crixalis:
Hi

First sorry for my bad english

I want to upgrade to 4.0.4 my s2

So... I have stock 4.0.3, I check with emmc and it say "No. Sane chip" and its 0X09.

All i want is a clear stock rom without root.

If I follow first post tutorial I will have a new rom, because I`m scare with brickbug, I don`t want to lose my phone.

Wat I want to do is: factory reset phone, put with odin new rom, then factory reset again, I thing its call wipe.

Its safe to do this steps ?

Thank you very much
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
If you are on stock 4.0.3, then wipe data (do a factory reset), then flash 4.0.4.

If you want to wipe later on 4.0.4, I recommend to flash a "safe" kernel, such as latest SpeedMod or SiyahKernel, first.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II General] esegarry:
Oki.. If would like make wipes..first must flash the lastest siyah kernel before no? And then nandroid backup or new rom no?

Thanks ;)
[Galaxy S II General] crixalis:
Thanks for answer.

So its safe to use Speed mod.

But witch of them I flash first with Odin ?

First I put stock rom 4.0.4 with Odin, wipe then put again with odin speedmod? or viceversa?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] [-Mac-]:
I haven't CWM, but someone that has it could try to use these updates.

Updates for Nordic Countries are 2 so I think we must follow the time order, first 16 Sep 2012 update and after 18 Sep 2012 update.

---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 PM ----------

I have seen in recovery mode 2 options:

Apply update from external storage

Apply update from cache

Maybe it's possible to use these options to do this kind of updates.

If you have 4.0.3 and no root, and you want to make an 4.0.4 update (no root also) why not use kies? I dont know a safer method than this. I had my 4.0.3 XWLP7 and update through kies to 4.0.4 XWLPT (which is flawless in my opinion if updated this way)

Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] crixalis:
Because Kies say me my phone is up to date, there is no update. I`m from Romania, East Europe, maybe in my country 4.0.4 via Kies is not avaibale. Of course I want to update via Kies

I search more on internet and 4.0.4 is avaibale for Romania, but why Kies say not update avaibale

My status in Kies:

Firmware information

This is the latest firmware
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Although I think that you won't need to wipe:

1. Wipe

2. Flash 4.0.4 stock ROM

3. Flash SpeedMod kernel

Then use TriangleAway app to remove yellow triangle and reset the flash counter.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II General] j2002:
Probably. But, as neither you nor me know what we are talking about and the consequences, we shall encourage nobody to try this.

Are you going to try? Neither me
[Galaxy S II General] Riskytwin:
I've tried this update first from mobile odin "OTA/Update ZIP" option and it says this is not an OTA/Update ZIP. Then I tried from CWM recovery apply zip from SD card option and the result was opening zip, installation aborted. So it does this OTA file does not work on my SGS2. My only doubt is that maybe it is not working due to my having a different CSC from the stock firmware NEE.

I hope that helps!
[Galaxy S II General] crixalis:
Thank guys for help

Another questions

Its necesarry to use triangle away ? its good only for waranty? Because I read on internet its dangerous to use this metod, may brick your phone

Thanks a lot
[Galaxy S II General] Stileth:
You have good chip, so don't worry about brick bug.

[Galaxy S II General] j2002:
Sure. OTAs looks for the needed ROM to update.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Correct, there is potential probability of bricking ... same as when flashing a new firmware.

If you don't mind the yellow triangle at boot and the incremented flash counter, don't use this app.

I have used it several times without any issue ... maybe I am lucky or the probability of bricking is very low.

As I have never won in lottery, I think it's the last option.

It's your choice, if you want to remove the yellow triangle and reset the flash counter the easy way by using TriangleAway app or not.
[Galaxy S II General] Pilaf:
Hello,

how can i have the "15" toggles with the XWLPX?:o

(i've found one for the deodexed XWLPX but not for the odexed..)
[Galaxy S II General] [-Mac-]:
I have a question, I have a GS2 GT-i9100 with 4.0.4 XWLPX (Nordic Countries) with CSC ITV, I have checked if my GS2 has insecure chip,

and yes it has, Kernel is the original one, no root.

If I do wipe data or factory restore, could I brick the phone?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Although it is very unlikely, the potential risk of bricking is existing.

Stock recovery operations of stock kernel should be safe, but the MMC_CAP_ERASE flag is enabled.

So only wipe if it is really needed ... or flash a "safe" kernel (with MMC_CAP_ERASE flag disabled) first.
[Galaxy S II General] Vazduh:
Yes!

If its mandatory to wipe, then first flash through odin a safe kernel and only after you can safely do all the necessary wipes.

Cheers!

We can still use the Jig to remove the triangle and reset the counter without any problems right?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
If you have still the old GB bootloader then yes.

New GB or ICS bootloader prevent the Jig from working properly.

So you might have to flash the old GB bootloader before using the Jig.
[Galaxy S II General] whiskerp:
If you want a stock based 4.0.4 kernel (insecure ADB + rooted) which has been made safe (MMC_CAP_ERASE disabled), then look here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1877270

You can flash this after you have flashed 4.0.4.

XWLPX is a stable ROM with international languages and good battery life and the matching safe kernel is available from the above link.

It can be flashed from default 3e recovery as it is signed and won't set the yellow triangle.

[Galaxy S II General] Riskytwin:

Can I use old GB bootloader together with whatever existing and future firmware?

And if it will work ... do you have a link to share?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Current stock firmware version will boot with old bootloader.

I don't know about further "side-effects" except of the display of the serial number (as "UNKNOWN") for some ROM version with old GB bootloader.

Here are the old GB, the new GB and the ICS bootloader as tar files => http://androidfirmwares.net/Tools

Flash in PDA section of Odin - exactly like a new kernel.

(Mobile Odin app does not flash bootloader.)

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II General] Mittaa:
Thanks

I think display of the serial number is due to a bug in 4.0.4 :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
I don't mean the "0000000000" but the "UNKNOWN".

Hi All. I've tried searching google and I've tried looking in this forum topic, but is I9100XWLPX a NON wipe Rom?

Normally from my understanding and experience most of these single file updtaes don't wipe the phone unless I update the csc off memory.

But it's been like months since I last updated the rom. Shock Horror

For some reason my phone isn't going past the boot screen and I hope a Rom update without wiping will get everything back so I can do a backup. Last backup was months ago as well. I have all the important stuff like contacts backed up, but not the programs or settings so really don't wanna loose everything if I can get around it.

Last resort is a hard reset.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Yes, it's a non-wipe ROM. The data partiton is not contained => will not be overwritten.

If you are rooted, you can check the contained partitions of a ROM file with Mobile Odin app.

Hi all,

Thanks to the informative stuff here and the links to the downloads, I now have my GS2 international on ICS!

No issues in upgrading - used Mobile Odin (and the procedure someone posted many posts back - thank you Sir/Ma'am).

Backed up with Ti first, told M Odin to wipe, root, etc. then flashed. Took about 15-20 minutes for the flashing, installing, etc. to get the new ROM in. Then rebooted about 3 times deliberately.

I have not experienced any of the issues some have raised - wifi is fine, BT is fine, screen does not lag (and I tried the Apex browser as well - still playing with it, use Go Launcher since I am very comfortable with it), camera is fine (stills, haven't done videos yet). Will test other ICS launchers when I have the time) all my apps from Ti Backup reinstalled properly. The only minor inconvenience was that I had to reinstall some of the widgets after the upgrade.

Funny thing is I haven't seen the 'remarkable' improvement over GB. I should be able to say more with more experience - I've only had ICS for 3 hours now. (With the Go Launcher re-installed by Ti BU, the experience is the same before and after ICS. Hmmmm...)

Came from rooted stock 2.3.4.

Many many thanks....

edit - the scrolling feels a bit weird. Like it needs more 'pushing' to move.
