That's pretty easy to check :) allowing you still have a fastboot folder set up then open a command prompt up, boot the phone into fastboot and issue the command

fastboot getvar all

This will tell you all about the phone, then just compare your stated imei to the one on the sticker underneath your battery :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Basseytje:
Hi,

I've got this problem with a friends(girl) phone.

Her phone was stuck at the firmware upgrade screen(the one with firmware upgrade encountered an issue). So she searched the internet for a solution and did some things with kies and odin. But nothing worked so i offered to help her.

So i searched and found this article. i followed all the instructions and downloaded 3 different versions of odin V3.07, V1.3 and V1.85.

Specifications of the phone:

samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100 16GB

what i've tried so far:

i followed the instructions from te link above and tried it with the following roms

-I9100GXXLB1_I9100GATOKL1_ATO

-I9100XWLP9_I9100KPNLP1_KPN

-I9100XXLSJ_I9100OXXLS1_OXX

i also tried the gingerbread and the ICS version

i also tried the pit file. but nothing works, the progress get stuck like in this example

Ok, i've followed every step but the phone is still bricked.

i've noticed something else: i've tried some different packages and versions of odin, and when in download mode on the phone the custom binary download is saying Yes(5 counts) en the Current binary is changing from custom to samsung stock back and forth.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
I updated the OP today, with an extra option for i9100 (which you have). It's flashing JB leak (stock ROM, 3 part firmware) via Odin, which will wipe your device as it flashes. Give it a go.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tornado92:
when u go to download mode, does it show your model number??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Basseytje:
I've already tried that one but odin is stuck at data.img.

Yes it shows the product name.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tornado92:
then you can fix it by flashing i guess .. try different versions of odin/try different usb ports/ different usb cables/ different pc/ :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Basseytje:
i've tried several cables, 2 pc's, one laptop, all the ports, all the versions of odin, 6 different roms
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tornado92:
it could be problem with your internal memory then... can u post a photo of your download mode.. what errors you get when u do a factory reset using recovery??? also when your phone is bricked dont try to unbrick using a custom rom or kernals because it can cause drawbacks like corrupting efs and all.. always try to unbrick using a stock firmwares.. also dont use pit immediately .. keep it for the last try...

also make sure kies and other tools are not running on backgroup ,, unistall them and reinstall samsung drivers and try again..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Basseytje:
kies won't recognize the phone. the only 3 screens i can access are showed in the pics below. i've got 2 stock roms which don't work. after i tried kies, i immediately uninstalled it and left the drivers on the pc.

If you say you've 'tried everything' (which everyone always says), then it's a service centre job. What else do you want anyone here to say ? No miracle fixes. If it were me I'd keep trying, it's almost always something really simple/small/obvious that's causing the flash not to work, and as we're not there looking over your shoulder at what you're doing, it's going to be almost impossible for anyone to say what that is (you have 'tried everything' after all).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Basseytje:
is there a way to fix this with jtag?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
Maybe. No one can say for sure mate. If you motherboard is really borked, it would have to be replaced nevertheless.

hey.. i had this problem too.. the only solution that i had is to use the galaxy note pit file and a stock rom for i9100 ... then the phone went back to normal ..but the memory went from 16 tb to 11.5 gb .. it was the only thing that made my phone work again..

i installed pit from galaxy note ..with and original stock firmware 4.1,2 then after install I did a factory reset via stock cwm and a clear cache ..and it worked.. a few bootloops and it went on:|
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
You got so ridiculously lucky that I can't comprehend that it worked. Please don't advise others to do the same, I'd say what you did is normally a recipe for a hard brick. Don't flash files for other phones, let alone a pit file for another phone. Yes I know the note has the same hardware as i9100 but you know what? It's not an i9100.

Edit: Look at what you posted in your other thread:

I'd say that's a reason not to flash files from another phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexandru.j91:
i was just telling him that i had the same problem..not to do the same thing..because of the problem that I have got! i have told in my other post whathappened to my phone! and i know that my problem can be solved by rewriting the memorybut i don't know how!..

i had a rom in my pc...i had the same problem..you need to flash the uk version of ics for your phone from samfirmwares... if it doesnt work ,get the s2 to a gsm...they have a device that force to delete your old system data and rewrite it manually... if the ics works...just use it dor 1 mounth...if you see anomalies like "folder can not be created" reflash the ICS rom... Then you can use the ics or after some time of using and testing...you can flash a JB rom ...i have one stable amd international... if you want i can give you a link ;)

you need to manually format system before you install the rom and use our 4.3 gapps

Yup, never had to format system before, but the website said to do it specifically, and everything works wonderfully.

Just one thing-play store didn't like downloading on lte, and I needed some clearing play data and framework data, then downloading some apps on Wi-Fi fixed it.

And I think my titanium backups got deleted from formatting cache

Flashed 2 days ago with the Beta 3 Build. Yesterday around 4pm I flashed BMS Kernel, the latest. Screen time was about 60-70 percent I'd guess. I do most of my leisurely browsing, social networking via phone. Even this post here on my phone.

Guys I'm still running the first build and it seems like the freezing has gone away. Amazing battery specs with no custom kernel.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
I'm getting great results with Beta 3 and stock kernel. The only problems I see are warmer phone than 4.2 and slightly less battery life (running asswax/cfq). Other than that, the release is very smooth and I'm not getting FCs anywhere, even after restoring apps from 4.2 with TB. On a side note, where is the HDR mode for the camera? I can't find it in there.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Volknochi:
Just installed this ROM and now I'm disappointed. My phone won't connect to 3G anymore. Even if I try to reboot the phone, all I get are grey bars and it refuses to connect. Before I installed this ROM, I was running Liquid Smooth's 4.2 and I at least got one blue bar of reception.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] XanSteel:
Not sure anyone else has posted this before. Didn't have time to read 1000+ posts.

Bluetooth is having major issues. Random disconnects. Overheating the phone when its in use. And dropping overall phone performance in the gutter making the phone unusable until a hard shut down.

Not sure what is causing this.

P.S. this is with the 5/12 update and gapps of 5/18.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iLLdWes:
Installed 5.2, clean install as always and mhl still no worky... Works on my girls stock s3 and on my stock tab pro 8.4... Any ideas?? I even tried it on pac rom and still no dice.. Is it an aosp rom issue?

---------- Post added at 10:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 PM ----------

So i wanna flash the latest lean kernel, do i flash d2??

Flashed lean kernel and mhl still no worky...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
You will probably never get mhl on an AOSP rom. More to do with the lockdown (drm) on HDMI than AOSP.

Yes use the d2 version of Leankernel. Most AOSP kernels are now unified. Look for d2 or d2lte versions and if you are unsure it is always better to ask than be sorry. I'm currently trying out 3 (Lean, Quantum, and Deathly) to figure out which one I like the best.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
If LeanKernel is undervolted by default, then yes I am. If it's not, then no I'm not. It's totally random and again, probably only happens maybe 1-2 times per week and that's on the high side. It might have something to do with the fact the only time I ever reboot my phone is when something like this happens.

For the last number of builds, I haven't figured out how to change any of the kernel settings. It always used to be in Advanced Settings (Performance) but I haven't seen that option in quite some time.

I use bluetooth daily in my car (through a Griffin BlueTrip and aux cable) and I don't have any of the problems you're experiencing. I'm currently running build 4.9 (the one right before the stable I think) and LeanKernel 9.6. I've had the stable on my phone since shortly after it dropped but haven't gotten around to flashing it yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Htcuser8740:
Can someone link me to the lean kernel, I cant seem to find it anywhere. Sorry
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EVObastard:
I have set this up but I let it integrate with my sprint account, I think I have it all straightened out but if you could post the instructions from the beginning that would be great, thanks. I think I might want to un-link it from sprint if I can.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JCJ77:
Can this kernel be flashed onto SlimKat?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EVObastard:
Any chance of getting the individual notifications back? I see individual ringtones but not notifications.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
If you mean Leankernel then yes, you may flash the d2 variant. You may also flash the d2 variants of Quantum kernel and Deathly kernel. There may be others that I haven't heard of, but you should be able to flash any d2 variant of an AOSP kernel (any doubts and ask in the kernel thread, better safe than sorry). The three I mentioned are three that I have come across and tried (partial to Lean).

---------- Post added at 09:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------

AFAIK individual notifications are app specific settings i.e. to set an individual notification tone for texts I go into my texting app

Hi, everybody. I am running SlimKat 5.2 after upgrading from stable 4, I believe. Anyways, I'm noticing a much stronger vibration than on my previous build.

Having trouble with this app, at the bottom of this screen shot there is supposed to be a menu bar with a row of options, at first it was only half there so i changed the DPI and now it's just a bunch of lines, changing the DPI back did not fix it either. Any ideas on this? I've also tried uninstalling and re-installing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
What app, so I can test. Is this the only app with a problem? Off the top of my head the only thing that comes to mind that would screw up the bottom of the screen would be having the nav bar (partially?) enabled. Never used it, so I don't know any pitfalls involved. I would like to think that a dpi issue would screw up the whole screen but at my age I've learned that sometimes weird s**t just happens. I would try reboot into recovery and clear cache and dalvik see if that fixes it. I'm assuming it was working properly earlier.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] succumbtothegreater:
How is the battery life on 5.2? I'm thinking about flashing it and I was just wondering. Any input is appreciated :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JCJ77:
For me, it has been worse than I hoped. During the week, I leave my phone on airplane mode when I am at work, so my phone usually lasts a good 10+ hours. When I don't have it in airplane more and I use it consistently, I'm below 20% within a few hours. The passed two or three days, I've had to recharge it during the day.

However, I enjoy this ROM so much, I just deal with the needed recharging. I've heard flashing another kernel will help out a bit, but I haven't looked further into it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] succumbtothegreater:
Thank you for the quick response! I don't understand why AOSP roms usually never have great battery life, but oh well, I'm trying it, good thing I made a backup.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JCJ77:
My pleasure. I don't know what you like, but before flashing this one - I'd heard great things, so I had to try it. No regrets here. Definitely some things I'd like to see improved, but no regrets. Enjoy!
