[Q] Flashing stock ICS 4.0.4 XXLQ6 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am on JB and am not very fond of it so i want to go back to my previous stock ROM.
Info about the ROM i want to flash to:
Build: I9100XWLPY (4.0.4)
Baseband: XXLQ6
CSC: NEELP6
Can i flash this on any safe way?
I have plan B which is this one:
Build: I9100XWLPG (4.0.3)
Baseband: XXLPX
CSC: NEELP4
Can i flash this 4.0.3 if 4.0.4 cannot be flashed? (I had that 4.0.4 as stock ROM b4 i went to JB)
But i prioritize the 4.0.4 version, if its safe to flash 4.0.4 please tell me and i'll do it.

So what you're saying (in a very confusing way ) that i shouldn't flash 4.0.4?!
Yeah i know about brickbug, but keep getting different signals from members. No one says straight if i can flash 4.0.4 or not but some members say that i can flash 4.0.4 and they dont even mention the brick bug. Some are recognized contributors so that's why i am in a conflict of who to trust. I say no flash, but experienced seem to say flash...
Please can you say a staright answer?
And i dont think illl miss JB actually

4.0.4's kernels are affected by brickbug.
Some devices got a Sane Chip (not affected), you can check yours by downloading got brickbug? app from play store.
Yes, Insane Chip
You can use that ROM but should be aware of its risks.
For example no wipe data on recovery mode or cmw, don't make back up nor restore them.
No, Sane Chip
You are off the hook and can do whatever you'd like with your device (regarding flashing, wipping, backing up, rooting, etc that is).
So there you have it, ALL NON 4.0.4 kernels are safe.

Well i cant check right now i fi have brickbug since i am on JB atm
But i'll flash 4.03 then
Thanx for help mate

If you run 4.0.4 stock rom with stock kernel and have an affected chip then you are at risk if you "do the wrong thing".
To remove risk, you flash a custom kernel that has emmc cap disable removed, or as stated earlier, stay away from 4.0.4.But you can use it if you wanted to.
And dont be fooled by users with high post counts etc.Ive seen people spamming 20 posts per day, most are useless tripe.

Going back from 4.0.4 to 4.0.3

Hi guys. I am a new user in this forum and I really liked here. The question is I installed the latest official 4.0.4 for the nordic countries. I am on Tugapower 1.1 and on siyah kernel 3.4.1. I did not like 4.0.4 much and I want to go back to zeta rom 3.1. The best rom so far for me. But I saw that many user bricked their phones while trying to go back to aokp 4.0.4 or 4.0.3. I dont want to brick my phone like that. Emmc brick bug says sane chip. I am also on siyah but I am really scared to brick my phone. What can I do for a safe return to 4.0.3. Thanks in advance.
Siyah should be safe. But, for extra care, just flash a 4.0.3 Stock rom in odin and do wipe from there
I have to use 3g and no wifi avalible here. So I cannot download official 4.0.3 within a week or something. I have litening rom 3.6 tar.md5 file. It is 4.0.3. If I flash it, can it cause a brick. If siyah is totally safe, it would be perfect for me.
I wiped for 3 times in siyah when i am on 4.0.4. rom from cwm. Also I flashed a few different 4.0.4 on cwm. Nothing happened. Can 4.0.3 cause a brick. Is installing from cwm more risky than wiping.?
Roms in cwm format often do wipes in their scripts. Siyah is safe, 4.0.3 also
Thank you. In my country it is midnight and I have to sleep. I will flash zeta rom after 10 hrs. I will look at this topic when i woke up and if dont see any problem about flashing zeta rom, i will flash it and get rid of this 4.0.4 rom. Thanks again.
Finally I went back to 4.0.3 without promlem. Siyah is totally safe. I advise siyah to everyone who want to go back to 4.0.3 from 4.0.4.
4.0.3 vs 4.0.4

[Q] Bell I9100M - Question

Hi guys... tried searching hi and low for the right answer, but didn't get one definitive enough. Bare with me, I have a Galaxy Nexus, but am helping out my wife here who has an i9100M.
First off, I'm well aware of how to use ODIN and the like (as I previously owned the original SGS), so I don't need help with that.
Now.. on to business:
The stock firmware for the i9100m via KIES is 4.0.3. I've noticed that this firmware causes the phone to freeze up at times and she's telling me she didn't experience that under Gingerbread.
So I know there are a whole slew of stock 4.0.4 firmwares out there, unbranded UK's and the like. Just wondering, based on your experiences, which PDA, PHONE, CSC combination for a 4.0.4. rom works best with the i9100m?
I'm aware that I will lose the 'm' designation... not too concerned about that... just want this phone to be smooth as it once was without the lockups but maintaining ICS. Hopefully 4.0.4 actually eliminates that.
Again, I'd prefer the stock firmwares if thats an option.
Thanks guys.

You need to read this first about ICS 4.0.4 stock firmware
Thanks, but I'm guessing that had to do with people flashing a new .pit which I never do.... Unless I'm wrong.
Personally I find stock roms not as smooth as custom roms.
If you're willing to try out custom roms, I'll recommend RootBox. Very stable and smooth.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696419
EDIT: Sorry, just realized you were looking for stock firmware. I have a i9100m as well, used XXLPJ to restore my phone when I got stuck in a boot-loop. Didn't really play with stock rom that much, went straight back to custom roms and flashed XXLQ5 modem. I'm with Rogers btw.
Ya I know Stock Roms usually aren't as smooth.. I just find the Stock Firmware, with the Stock recovery, the safest.... And seeing as I don't want my wife yelling at me.. I'd rather it have a stock experience without the lockup/freeze she is now constantly experiencing.

So even rooting with a STOCK insecure kernal would have bricking issues?
I've never used CWM and don't plan to.

Read that Warning thread I posted to you earlier. Read everything there, it's very important. The only way to stay 100% safe is by flashing a custom kernel.
From what I read, flashing a stock or insecure stock kernal (to root) is the only safe way. Especially in that Nordic firmware thread you mentioned.
Either way, going to try it the insecure kernal root. If it bombs, it still has warranty.
Well as suggested in this thread (thank you) I have installed the latest Nordic ROM (I9100XWLPX) and so far things are fantastic.
I ran the 'Have Brickbug?' app and my wife's phone does show the warning, but ran it anyway... even went as far as clearing cache and wiping in the stock recovery after install just to see if there would be an issue and there wasn't.
I haven't rooted the phone.... yet.... and I may not have to... afterall, its my wife's phone and she doesn't use it the way I use my Nexus. That might change in the future, but with this UNBRANDED ROM, there is no real bloatware, and most of the things I don't want can be disabled anyway.
Time will tell if there are any issues... but thus far no freezes or lockups.
KIES did screw up the back up of her memo's and settings which she is slightly peeved about (wouldn't restore them), but oh well.
Thanks for all the suggestions and help.
Question though... If official Jellybean comes out for the Nordic region, will this 'frankenstein phone' receive an update via KIES? I don't plan on using the OTA update.

1. the Brick bug comes with Stock ICS 4.0.4 kernel, and if you flash 4.0.4 firmware, then you will have a "brick bug" kernel, but this doesn't mean your device is bricked. I believe you already know what can brick your device already
2. Your flash counter will never change
3. It's better to stay away from hardbrick rather than preparing to solve it. If you read the guides/ instructions and can ask good questions as you are doing right now, then you shouldn't hardbrick your device.

If you are interested in stock kernels then stay away from CWM recovery, very simple.
Why? because, the stock kernel of Jellybean update will most likely come with the bug.

So the only way for me to update and be sure of no brick is, either use Siyah kernel after 4.0.4 I9100XWLPX flash or flash 4.0.4 and hope there is no need for CWM (as I understand CWM is needed in case the flash gets stuck?), or flash and don't care until february 2013 when my warranty expires..

there is another way like in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619525
but is not the best way.
I was waiting my warranty expiration but there is no misteries to install a secure kernel and start installing custom roms.
i'm much happier with my CM10 than with my 4.0.3 touchwiz

1. yeah, the only way to ensure no brick after update is to flash a custom kernel. Some of the kernels you can flash include: SpeedMod kernel (very close to the stock kernel), Siyah kernel, Dream Kernel, Dorimanx Kernel etc. But seriously, you should consider this option. If you want to claim warranty, you can just simply flash the original stock kernel.
2. If you flash and you get stuck, you can also use the stock recovery. but you shouldn't get stuck anyway.
3. If you flash 4.0.4 now, you will still get Jellybean in November even before your warranty expires and If there is any need to claim warranty, you can always have your phone back to the previous state.
I recommend option 1. Update to 4.0.4 and flash a custom kernel.
good luck

Maybe its one of those firmwares that never got an upgrade to 4.0.4? Some will make the jump directly to 4.1. All assumption, I'm not too familiar with stock. If its official 4.1 you're worried about, you can always get it off samfirmware when an update for the i9100 is released.
Also, if all you were looking for is the stock 4.0.4 UI experience, you could always have had a 4.0.4 sammy rom. Wasn't necessary to unroot et al.
No i unrooted because phone was hanging too much ,and downgraded from 4.0.4 to 4.0.3 so if i want an upgrade back to 4.0.4 ill have to download a stock firmware of 4.0.4 from sammyfirmware and then connect it to odin again and change its firmware again ?
Odd..siyah has never given me any trouble. Phone hangs are anyways usually coz of the rom rather than kernel. But thats OT.
You could do that, yeah. Just be careful not to ever mess around with your phone if you decide to use a firmware that has the emmc bug. For a list of those, refer a sticky in the general section. To be safe..just stay away from stock 4.0.4. Its what I'd do. Rather live with the 4.0.3 UI elements till 4.1 releases than risk rendering a phone completely useless.

Please recommend for me the version of Odin and supervise the whole process, and how risky it may be.

There are enough of tutorials on how to flash a kernel via Odin. So feel free to use the search button.
Its simple and safe. Just ensure you use the TAR version of siyah 5.0.1 while flashing via Odin.
EDIT: @above- the link you posted is for the i777 not i9100. They have different key combinations to be used to enter download mode. For the i9100 its Vol down + home + power. Please do not mislead.

3 Questions: (I am paranoid ) Q1: Will the Siyah 5.0.1 go compatible with the STOCK android 4.0.4?
Q2: Will flashing this kernel lead to data/apps loss?

We're all paranoid when we're screwing around with our phones the first time around. But if you follow the tutorials properly, you have nothing to be worried about.
1. It is. But if you're installing a custom kernel its usually to install a custom ROM. So why exactly are you installing siyah if you plan on sticking to stock 4.0.4?
2. No.
3. I don't think so. But if you install the leaked 'official' JB firmware, it'll replace whichever kernel you have anyways. So unless you're planning on installing siyah AFTER installing the leaked JB, this shouldn't be an issue.

I just want to get rid of the stock kernel, and root the phone(back my stuff with titanium before I get the JB or a custom ROM).
Oh man. I really need a point in the right direction. I've been reading all day about this, but I'm worried I'll totally stuff things up if I proceed with out confirmation with what I'm doing.
I received my GS2 from Kogan website yesterday, followed the "How to Root Galaxy S2 i9100! [ICS]" (sorry can't post direct link yet) now everything is great, however the bluetooth with not turn on. It doesn't go bright green when switched on, it stays a dull green and then turns off again. AAAARGH.
Origional Kernel . 3.0.15-I9100XXLPQ-CL223505 [email protected] #3
Current Kernel. 3.0.15-1060868 (CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5.zip)
PDA: LPJ
PHONE: LQ6
BaseBand: I9100XXLQ6
Is this fixable? I've tried really hard to find the origional Kernal so I can put that back on with ODIN. Or should I put Siyah Kernel on?
I had lite'ning ROM on my last GS2, though was wanting to stay a little more stock this time around, as it's not vodafone branded.

Big thanks to Faryaab, for his great work. Will shout you a beer.
The separate kernel was no longer available. So I put put I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_XEO on with ODIN and it's all back to normal.
