Yup..
Only look for the section 'Flashing firmware with odin'. Don't follow anything else or download from there.
If ur scared to do that, use this guide:

1. Just download the firmware version you want
from the second or third posts and extract
the .tar or .tar.md5 file in the archive and save it
somewhere
Thanks a lot mate. I really appreciate. But where do I download it from..... Sammobile? Sorry for the annoying questions.

Hi bruv. Thanks for all the reply. Wana ask one last question. While I was tryna upgrade my phone from gingerbread to jellybean. I downloaded an official jellybean firmware. Can I use that firmware to flash with odin?

Hello,
I have Omega v19.1 ROM right now and it feels like my phone is slow and tired. Will removing the ROM or go back to normal like it was when I bought it make it faster/clean it?
If so, is there a guide here on how I can do that?
Thanks in advance!

What do u mean by 'removing the ROM' and 'going back to normal'?
Do you want to return to stock? Or to ur previous ROM? Or do u want to remove bloatware??

Its really easy.
Just search for 'Stock Firmwares' and u will find many threads on XDA. Or u can visit sammobile.com.and choose an appropriate firmware. Then download it.
Flashing is a bit more advanced. I suggest you read about Odin and flashing stock roms.

Going back to stock should make your phone a lot worse/slower.
Thats how you root and stick on a custom kernel at the very least.....to remove crap that you couldnt do normally.
Like theunderling said, stock firmwares do contain bloatwares. Since ur on Omega v19, why not update to Omega v21 (preferably after a full wipe)? Maybe that would speed up ur phone...

You need to read a lot more mate.
Here's a good place to start.
Read this too.
BTW, stock recovery is a special mode in ur phone, while Odin is a software that runs on Windows.

Hello, noob here D:
Here's the story.. I recently got a Galaxy S2 i9100. It's updated to the 4.1.2 thingy.
Tried to root it, used odin and CF-ROOT v5.5 in the process. Odin said it was OK but I got stuck on the yellow triangle.
Found a guide, guide said to install Stock Rom.. so I did. (Stock rom is I9100XWLPU_I9100XXLQ6_I9100XEZLP3_HOME.tar )
Now there's no yellow triangle but it's stuck on the flashy S screen.
I never had a smartphone, and I don't understand most of the words people use here (mainly that 'flash it' thing xD )
I tried to look for a post or anything to solve this but kinda failed..
Help?
What you have is called a 'bootloop' mate.. it can be sorted out.
Which android version do u have now? Its 4.0.4 right? 4.0.4 is subject to risk of eMMC Brickbug.
So, I suggest you download another stock firmware (other than 4.0.4) and flash it via Odin.

U mentioned 4.1.2. You also mentioned flashing stock firmware XWLPU, which is 4.0.4.
Yes, simply download a 4.1.2 firmware for ur region from sammobile.com and flash via Odin.
If it still bootloops, boot to recovery and do a factory reset.

Will give u a tip.
Search for 'Philz kernel'.
In the thread you find, look for the XWLSD zip version.
Save it to ur external SD card.
Flash that in stock recovery..
And ur rooted!

Ohh.. ok..
Flashing via Odin can fail due to a number of reasons, which is why I always suggest Mobile Odin for flashing and stock recovery for rooting.

Hi,
I have a samsung S2 GT-I9100G,
I was running ICS and a update came through.
I updated my fone and now its hard bricked itself.
The fone turned off to update and neva turned back on.
I dont know how it happened.
I download a Kernel_I9100XXLPH and with that i was able to get download mode working.
I've downloaded a few firmwares to download into the fone,but it just fails
After Reading through the forum i think i have a corrupted nand,
So i took my fone to the fone shop and they told me that they tried to flash it and it wouldn't work.
They advised me to get a new fone
Now ive tried using a few step By step for noobs to fix it, but i cant seem to get it to work.
Since i have a empty fone, i have been trying to download jelly bean into it.
Any help would be great.
Thanks Rafmed
You must have flashed a kernel/firmware meant for the I9100 mate!!
I think ur gonna need a motherboard replacement!

Hi,
Thank you for a reply.
I have been download firmware from the S2 section in XDA.
After reading the forum, that's what i have come up with also.
But i thought i might just ask anyway's before i give up.
Rafmed
The S2 section has firmwares and kernels for both I9100 and I9100G. But both phones have different hardwares and if you mix those files, you will brick ur phone.

Hi,
I did not notice that and will look into it. Thank you.
I already had iCS running, So i have no reason to want to play around with the fone.
I received a notice for an update and i accepted, After i did that the fone turned off and didn't turn on.
I removed the battery and tried to turn on the fone. nothing. After playing with it a sign came up saying that firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again.
But once i connect to kies, it doesn't recognize the fone.
