i tried rooting my samsung galaxy s 2 gt i9100G, i flashed the CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG6-v4.1-CWM4 kernel using odin and everything was fine, when my phone restarted it was on the start screen with the yellow triangle at the bottom, i have rooted other samsung galaxy s2 GT-I9100, but not the one with GT-I9100G, any idea what i should do now? i can go into download mode, but just cant start up
its a 1900 G model you need to check that the kernel you installed is compatible with the model G first .

Check this thread out for links to flash back the stock firmware with Odin. I did see a link posted for a chinese rooted kernel there as well, but be wary. You don't want a brick. Just concentrate on getting back stock working first, then go from there.

Hello gurus,
I got a SGS2 I9100G. I tried to flash the CF-Root kernel in order to root but it failed.
I then went to download mode and tried to install Litening rom.
it always fail at the modem part.
I am so stupid that I did not first check the firmware version already installed !
I am now trying to re-install a stock version and none is working.
I tried vilain rom 1 (supposed to wipe everything) it completes with no error , but it stays stuck at the writing Samsung I9100G . (not the Samsung logo).
I can not go into the recovery mode.
I tried to flash a kernel and things got worse... now I have the 2 computers screen.... Please helppppppppppppppp
Thanks
Ok looks like what you've done is flash software meant for the I9100 model and not the I9100G.
Search through the threads till you find threads specifically about the G model. Read and read a lot. Not joking...read a lot.
Your gonna need Odin, gonna need to boot into download mode and gonna need to flash firmware for the I9100G model.
Hope this points you in the right direction.

You think that flashing a firmware for I9100G will solve the issue ?
thanks

Yes. The I9100 and the I9100G are two different devices.
I really F'ed up.
I was running ICS on my bell Galaxy S2 but I wanted to try the S3 rom that was released here. (Note that I am somewhat a stupid when it comes to android flashing). I installed a CF-root kernel (phone wasn't CWM at the time) but the phone didn't turn work - it would go to black screen.
So I tried a couple different kernels, nothing worked. Then I went crazy and flashing just about everything. Nothing has changed.
When I turn the phone on, it gets stuck at the Galaxy S II screen. When I go to download mode, it is like usual (no CWM, the standard one). And when I go into recovery, it says "Forced Upload, by key pressing".
What can I do now? I would like to just get the phone working at this point, official firmware that works with kies would be nice. S3 rom would be even better.
Whoever helps me solve this would be my hero. Serious.
EDIT: I am now on clockwork recovery if that helps.

Thank you so much. The phone works perfectly now!
If you know how to get it to the S3 rom (or just get the cool gesture features) that would be nice but if not I'll be happy on stock ICS until I learn a lot more about flashing.

Too late, I already did. It works really well except most of the new features (motion and all that) is missing .
Still a good ROM though. To clarify, it's the S3 ROM that was modified to fit the S2. I found it through google.
hello,
Sorry but not allowed to post in the i9100G sub section yet due to restriction. My friend did the following resulting in soft brick... :silly:
i9100G - indian variant
ics - 4.0.3
rooted with method 2 posted ----------> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679778
it does not installs cwm manager like in cf-root method
downloaded app - rom toolbox pro - for backup
installed new font using the same app - rebooted as asked..
stuck on S2 logo
able to go into download and recovery mode - good sign :highfive:
I read somewhere that I need to flash stock rom using odin and then root again properly using cf-root menthod but since i dont know the correct firmware of his phone, dont know which one to use for flashing.. he dosent remembers it either..
dont know its xxlph or what....
so should i just flash new ics 4.0.4 firmware (any firmware) via odin and then follow the nube friendly cf root method ? is not knowing firmware version will have an impact even if i am installing a completely different new version ?
thanks for the time and consideration... much appreciated...
thanks
Any firmware is fine as long as its for the G variant. DO NOT install firmware meant for the i9100/P/M/T etc coz that will brick the device. The only way in which different firmwares for a device vary is by the modem. Which can always be changed at a later stage.
Bottomline, as long as its a G variant firmware, you can use it. Only preferable to stick to 4.0.3 rather than 4.0.4
Download the firmware from sammobile.com
Good luck

hey thanks... just wanted to make sure because its not really my phone and dont want to make a mess.. will flash away and report back with results
Hi everyone.
I need some help with my I9100. I am not receiving any reception on any networks so I have called Samsung and will be sending the phone back for repairs as the phone is still under warranty.
I was using the SuperNexus rom in the android development section. The phone was working brilliantly with this rom and suddenly stopped picking up any network after weeks of using this rom. I hadn't changed the radio in this time either.
I am guessing I will have to unroot the phone and flash original samsung firmware again.
Can somebody point me in the right direction please. I need to know how to unroot my I9100 and need to know which firmware I will need to flash.
Thanks in advance.
Download your stock firmware, and flash using Odin, use Triangle away before flashing
If your phone has nee here is the thread

Can you try flashing it with modem for your country and download and run GETRIL app to fix your RIL.

Thanks for your responses
I flashed the stock firmware (I9100XWLPY - H3G UK) and used triangle away to reset the flash counter.
I've re flashed supernexus build 5 after rooting and used getril because the baseband and and ril didn't match according to GetRIL.
my baseband is I9100NELP4 and it recommends me to flash I9100XXLPX; I9100NELP4
now it is matching but it still doesnt pick up any networks. I've tried O2 uk and Three UK. I am on the Three network.
My IMEI *#06# matches the IMEI behind the battery. However the S/N does not match from settings and behind the battery.
Is there anything I can do before I send it back to Samsung for repairs?
Make sure your flash counter is 0 ( check in D/L mode) and have a completely stock unrooted firmware.
