Well, here it comes — the first official Android 4.0 update from Samsung, labeled as XXLPQ. Galaxy S2 users in Baltic, Poland, Hungary and other Nordic countries can use the Samsung’s PC software Kies to update their phone to Android 4.0.
But those of us who are apparently not from that area of earth, but are as much eager as one could be about official Ice Cream Sandwich for Galaxy S2, well, there is the Odin software to install the XXLPQ manually. It’s pretty easy and if you’ve been keeping up with us, you may have already done it countless times — XXKP8, XXLPH, XXLPJ, etc. But this time around, we flash the official Ice Cream Sandwich update for Galaxy S2 — XXLPQ.
Well, there are some features missing from the earlier leaks, XXLPH and XXLPJ, like there is no 3d anim effect in drawer and while swiping home screens, which was present in XXLPH and XXLPJ, but other than that, XXLPQ is cool — no touch lags and it’s pretty fast and fully working rom, with TouchWiz 4 UI of course, hate it or not.
So, let’s see how to upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich with XXLPQ, the official Android 4.0 firmware via Kies.
Compatibility
This firmware and the guide below is compatible only and only with Galaxy S2, model number i9100. It’s not compatible with any other device, including US variants of S2, the Epic 4G Touch, T-mobile Galaxy S2 and AT&T Galaxy S2 along with Skyrocket. Check your device’s model number in Settings » About phone.
Warning!
The methods and procedures discussed here are considered risky and you should not attempt anything if you don’t know completely what it is. If any damage occurs to you or your device, we won’t be held liable — you only will be responsible, you’ve been warned!
Pre-Installation Requirements/Tips
- This procedure will wipe all your apps, data and settings (but it will NOT touch your SD cards, so don’t worry about those). Backup your Apps and important data — bookmarks, contacts, SMS, APNs (internet settings), etc. This Android backup guide would help you.
- If you have Samsung’s PC software Kies installed, un-install it first because it may interrupt the flashing process.
- Drivers! — it’s important you’ve the proper drivers installed. Download links below.
32 bit (x86) Windows | 64-bit (x64) Windows
How to Install XXLPJ on Galaxy S2 i9100
- Download the XXLPQ Kies firmware from this link → XXLPQ (alternate mediafire links — part 1 and part 2). Filename: I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_XEO.zip | Size: 382.43 MB
- Now, extract the downloaded file I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_XEO.zip (from step 1) to any folder, you’ll get these 2 files:
- I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar.md5
- SS_DL.dll (simply ignore this one)
- Now, download the Odin software which you’ll need to flash the XXLPQ on your Galaxy S2 i9100. Download Link. Filename: Odin3 v1.83.exe
- Power Off your phone and also disconnect it from PC if it’s connected, and don’t forget to keep phone’s battery above 50%, just to be very very safe. After the screen goes off, wait for vibration to confirm complete switch off.
- Boot Galaxy S2 into Download Mode in order to flash the XXLPQ firmware using Odin. For this, press and hold these keys together:Volume Down + Home + Power, you’ll get a Warning! screen.. press Volume up to continue to enter download mode.
- Open Odin (from step 3) — double-click the Odin3 v1.83.exe.
- Connect your phone to PC now. You should get the message “Added! !” under Odin’s message box in the bottom left. If you don’t get this message, then probably there is a problem with drivers. Make sure you’ve proper drivers installed. See point 3 above under Pre-Installation Requirements.
- Now, in the PDA tab in Odin, select the file you got in step 2.1 — I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar.md5.
- Important! Do not touch any other button or make any other changes in Odin except selecting the required file as given in step 8. Your Odin’s screen should look like this:
- Now, hit the START button to start flashing XXLPQ firmware. When the flashing procedure is finished, your phone will automatically reboot — and when you see the Samsung logo, you can safely unplug the cable. Plus, you’ll get a PASS (with green background) message in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin. Screen would look like this (below) on successful flashing of XXLPQ.
IMPORTANT Note: If ODIN gets stuck at some stage and doesn’t get you PASS, do this — disconnect the phone from the PC, close ODIN, remove battery, re-insert it, turn phone on in Download mode again, and do the procedure again from Step 6. Same if you get FAIL in Odin. - After you’ve got the PASS message, the phone will probably get stuckat S logo. If it reboots fine without getting stuck at the S logo, then okay, you’re done, skip to next step. Otherwise, worry not and do this:
- Boot to recovery mode — for which, first power off phone and after screen goes off, wait for 5-6 seconds, and then press and hold Home + Volume Up + Power keys together. Once you are in recovery mode, use volume keys to move the selection up and down and power or home key to select the option.
- Go to Factory Reset and select it. Select Yes on next screen.
- Now, go to Wipe Cache and select it. Confirm Yes on next screen.
- Now, select reboot system now to boot your Galaxy S2. It will boot up fine. And you’ll have official Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich, firmware on your Galaxy S2 i9100. Go to Settings and scroll down and select About Phone and check the info there.
- Also, if data network (3G, GPRS, etc.) isn’t working for you, you gotta fill in APN Settings meant for your carrier in Mobile and Network settings. Here’s a full list of carriers and their APN settings » Link
- In case you encounter any roadblocks flashing XXLPJ, let us know in comments below and we’ll try to help you out.
Do let us know what you feel about the XXLPQ. Liking the Touchwiz 4 on ICS, or completely hating it?
Update: Root your Galaxy S2 on XXLPQ using CF kernel. Search for “root xxlpq” on our site or click here.

How is the official XXLPQ a lower naming convention than the Beta XXLPJ ??

XXLPQ
Isn’t Q higher than J in the Alphabet, or am just special!
*eek*, missed it man.. let me edit and correct it. Thnx!
*eek*, missed it man.. let me edit and correct it. Thnx!

No worries keep up the good work, Bob
Hey one thing that i don’t understand. how come these updates aren’t changing the icons and the menu outlay ?
The physical appearance isn’t changing ?
That’s up to Samsung. You can install a custom rom to get full Android 4.0 experience.
Like what rom do I need to get the ICS interface !?!
this TwLauncher interface SUCKS :S
only the youtube and bookmark widgets changed and everything else is da same ………
any rom suggestions ?!
Are there any known bugs with this ROM?
yor awesome mannn….

Try with 7-zip software. If it still fails, it’s corrupted, re-download it.

Yes, it’s the official version, available via Samsung’s PC software, Kies, in some Nordic countries. It’s not a leak.
got it, thanks!

FWIW, I got stuck at the “S” logo but managed to make it through with only wiping the cache.
great rom. was reluctant as i have lots of apps and games, but they r all running perfectly even Shadowrun, which required chainfire3d. no prob sofar. very smooth.
I can only think of one downside, and it is the UI. It hasn’t changed much, smoother animation, but same as before.
I with samsung would buy sense or make drastic changes to touchwiz. fingers Xed

the first link isnt working so im downloading part 1(200mb) and part 2(149mb),, wht next?? am i supposed to flash them both seperately via odin on PDA section?
???
No…. download both parts and then extract from the first one using 7-zip software. The file you’ll get from Odin is the the one you gotta flash in Odin.

Hi There.
I get a pass within a few seconds, and the phone reboots. I get the Samsung text, but no animated “S” logo.
I have run this process several times, and even wiped the phone as per step 11, but phone will not start.
Any ideas?
Hey, you sure you’re trying this on the right device, the Galaxy S2 i9100? If this one isn’t working for you, I would suggest you to try an older firmware first and then the the XXLPQ above again. You cna try this old firmware, XXKP8 — https://nerdschalk.com/galaxy-s2-ice-creams-sandwich-leaked-firmware-xxkp8/

hi kapil, i have new version installed all works perfect, i think people with problems have wrong phone model, just one thing how do we know when an updated firmware is available as kies cannot be used now, cheers
To get kies working, install any firmware by Samsung meant for your region. To keep track of ICS updates, subscribe to our email newsletter so you get daily free email of what’s going on on android scene. We cover almost every firmware, so you won’t be left in the dark on this.
thanks, if i wanted to revert back to official samsung gingerbread and then flash via kies where would i get it, my phone is sim free but i use vodafone i note that any firmware number has (vod) after it. Im unlikely to do this though as phone is working perfectly on this ics not a single problem, it is not rooted but i just wondered how i would get back to official status, thanks again
i tried but it got failed with the below message and not going on recovery mode showing connectivity logo .

Hi Shailendra, you sure your device is the right one, the Galaxy S2 i9100? If yes, I would recommend you to try it again. Let me know after you’ve done that.
yes its Glaxy S2 only i9100 please help me …
Try to install xxkp8 firmware, search here for its download links and instructions.
Hi There.
I get a pass within a few seconds, and the phone reboots. I get the Samsung text, but no animated “S” logo.
I have run this process several times, and even wiped the phone as per step 11, but phone will not start.
Any ideas?
Hey, you sure you’re trying this on the right device, the Galaxy S2 i9100? If this one isn’t working for you, I would suggest you to try an older firmware first and then the the XXLPQ above again. You cna try this old firmware, XXKP8 — https://nerdschalk.com/galaxy-s2-ice-creams-sandwich-leaked-firmware-xxkp8/
hi kapil, i have new version installed all works perfect, i think people with problems have wrong phone model, just one thing how do we know when an updated firmware is available as kies cannot be used now, cheers
To get kies working, install any firmware by Samsung meant for your region. To keep track of ICS updates, subscribe to our email newsletter so you get daily free email of what’s going on on android scene. We cover almost every firmware, so you won’t be left in the dark on this.
thanks, if i wanted to revert back to official samsung gingerbread and then flash via kies where would i get it, my phone is sim free but i use vodafone i note that any firmware number has (vod) after it. Im unlikely to do this though as phone is working perfectly on this ics not a single problem, it is not rooted but i just wondered how i would get back to official status, thanks again

Camera dosent work at all.After i open the camera application,it shuts down.Why is it?
Upgraded smoothly. I had to update my google plus manually but no problems otherwise. Scrolling in some apps isnt as smooth as I would have liked but I’m satisfied. 🙂
Quadrant scores;2.3.6 gingerbread 3800 – 4.0.3 ICS XXLPQ 4157
How long does it takes from connecting the USB up till the ‘PASS’ message appears? My odin is still showing ‘boot.bin’ for the past 5 mins? Is it okay?
Nah… umm, are you still stuck?
couple of minutes

mine seems to have everthing?
Thanks for guide. All gone ok apart from i have strange system apps that have appeared, e.g. 3 Internet, 3MobilTV, 3Navigator and I also get a 3 splash screen on boot up. I was on O2 before but had none of this before as the phone was unbranded. Is this standard apps that come with this – sorry if I’m asking a really dumb question here.
Link updated to the firmware in step 1 above. Please download and install again, and you won’t have those extra apps.

Hi..this may seem like a really nooby question..can i install this over cwm? will cwm get erased so that the stock recovery can take it’s place? i mean on im on kl1 right now with a custom kernal which has cwm..can i flash this over it?
Yes you can flash it over your current firmware with cwm. CWM will be wiped but you can get root and cwm back with a guide for root linked above after the installation steps.
i flashed my S2 before and i tried the above mentioned steps. However I got stuck at Step 5. Boot Galaxy S2 into Download Mode in order to flash the XXLPQ firmware using Odin. For this, press and hold these keys together:Volume Down + Home + Power, you’ll get a Warning! screen.. press Volume up to continue to enter download mode.
it just prompt me a screen Downloading….. Thats all for more than 20 mins. Please advice. 🙁
for me warks reall cool at the moment so far so good thx verry much

What are the differences with the different regions? is it just languages and bloat-ware, or is there more to it than that?
You know, like modem and phone might operate with different tel-co and country specific standards????
I am in Australia but have the stock ROM of the latest international version ICS LPQ flashed to my i9100 though Odin.
I was just wanting to know if there was any advantage of flashing the Australian version of ICS LPQ when it is finally released here. (however long that will take?)
I recon my tel-co (Telstra AKA: Hellstra) will take 3-6 months if the last GB update was anything to go by. hehe.
I’m sure there are plenty of others with similar questions.
Cheers

To whomever it counts. XXLPQ is crap. It lags the phone in applications (i was browsing earlier and as i scrolled down it got stuck for a second then it moved) and battery drains out like hell. I fully charged the phone this morning at 5 am. Went to sleep and when i woke up 6 hours later battery was at 58% (without even using it). There were no extra applications running in the background than i usually had on the 2.3.6 Ginger. I will try the leaked XXLPJ and see if things are getting better.
Please… maybe Your phone is a crap ? In my case XXLPQ has no problem – fast and stable. Flashed no-wipe over KI4.

@kapil – till you didnt inform the reason for “processing fail” while registering to samsung disclaimer?
My Galaxy S2 version is GT-I9100G. I tried updating my phone by going to Settings>Software update..and then updating it. After it updated, it asked me to install and then it rebooted. While rebooting it got stuck in the Galaxy SII logo screen. After this I tried plenty of times rebooting it and taking out the battery and again rebooting it. It is still getting stuck there? Please please tell me what should I do? I live in India and i bought this phone from India itself. Please help me. Thank you!
this is only for GT-i9100 n not GT-i9100G……
Probably via Odin you can install back the firmware which was earlier in your I9100G i.e. XWKJ2. Below is the detailed guideline on how to do that.

Can it be used to upgrade 9100T? How 9100T is different from International?
It might work but I’m not sure… you are on your own. Better search it whether i9100 roms work in i9100T or not. I think roms of Galaxy S i9000 worked on i9000T.
I find i9100 and i9100T is exactly the same except the modem, which is what the Vodaphone and Telstra (the T could be Telstra) uses. now where do I get a firmware for this modem? Any ideas?

hi guys thanks for the post, but i have a problem after installing XXLPQ, my camera doesnot show reviews when i take pics. pls help me
Enable that in settings, it should be there.
Hi Kapil,
i have checked like a million times, i cant find the review option on the camera settings but i had it before i upgraded ( all what i have under settings is : Edit shortcuts, self portrait, flash, shooting mode, sceen mode, exposure value, focus mode, timer, effects, resolution, white balance, ISO, metering, outdoor visibility, anti- shake, auto contrast, blink ditection, guidelines, image quality, GPS tag, storage and reset ).
Is there a possibility to downgrade?
Downgrade it easy. Install the XXKH3 firmware. Search here for download links and guide.

It keeps failing, and now my phone won’t power up in download or reg mode!! All it shows is a cell phone icon, a triangle with an exclamation symbol in it, and a pc icon?? please help
You are trying it on i9100 Galaxy S2, right?
yes, i9100g galaxys2
I’m so upset right now…I don’t know what I did wrong but my phone will not get past those icons
I don’t think it works on i9100G… you got to flash a firmware for i9100G now to recover your phone.
I’m not as smart as you with that stuff, obviously, do you have a link or maybe a brief 1-2-3 on how I can get started doing that?
Sorry, this is still, Amira, it’s just using my business name on my email now, for some reason.
You can install this firmware, called XXLB1, on your i9100G.
Link — http://www.hotfile.com/dl/149703615/0c9c3af/I9100GXXLB1_I9100GATOKL1_ATO.zip.html
Installation is very similar, so just download the firmware and give it a try. Let me know if help needed.
Kapil I need help man. The same problem and display as this guy but the added problem is that now it does not get detected by Odin….
Have you flashed XXLPQ?
dose xxlpq have arabic language ?

Thanks a lot for the upload, just follow your clear steps and tell u what, IT JUST WORKS PERFECTLY 😀 thumbs up guys….. The only point to make is that, when rebooting it takes a while in fact few minutes move ahead from that S logo and every body I think should wait there for a while prior to attempting a reboot in recovery mood……….
Thanks!

It works but I found some bugs:
1)With wifi….everytime it disconnects and connects
2)With the reproductor of music….sometimes it play a song with distorsion and very slow
3)Sometimes it take a few time to reappear the menu again when you finished other aplication
The only way to resolve this is reboot the phone, because i tried the two wipe and doesn’t work….anyone have the same issues or just me??
i also had this issue, but not with this version, it was with the beta version.. try to install this version.. and check in settings about phone that do u have xxlpq or not..
No men i use the right link and installed the I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar so i´ve had the same issues
re you still facing those problems you mentioned above? I would recommend you to do Factory Reset from Recovery, and also Fix Permissions, under the Advanced option of recovery.
I have upgraded and everything is working great, except I am having a problem with browsing from wireless accesspoints. It connects to the access point and shows that I am getting a signal. but if a launch firefox or anyother browser and don’t get connected… Would the factory Reset IN CWM correct this??

This has so many bugs. My contacts don’t work as smooth as before. I cant add new contacts. I cant edit contacts. Contacts crashes everytime. I get absurd notifications for example your battery voltage is too high when my phone is not even being charged. This firmware needs update, and fast.
Do Factory Reset from recovery mode, that should fix this. Or, simply ‘clear data’ of contacts app under settings – app.
along with clearing data from contacts app, you have to clear data from ‘Contacts storage’ as well.
Aha, thanks for the info.

I followed the instructions to the letter, and seem to have bricked my phone. It endlessly loops on the first Galaxy sII screen. Holding volume down, home + power works, but the device is no longer seen by the PC, so cannot repeat process from scratch. Holding volume up, home + power doesn’t work, so can’t do factory reset. Power button does not work to turn phone off, have to pull battery to get out of cycle. Looks like an expensive repair job for me… :-(?
Are you still stuck? Let me know if yes, i’ll try to help you out. And you sure your device is international Galaxy S2, model number i9100?
at first had the same issue as howardthewebb but it is working now. thanks.
You mean all of this:
1. Can’t go to recovery mode.
2. Can go to download mode.
3. PC is not recognizing anymore.
Right?
Kapil you are a freakin genius, thank you so much. I was stuck in the samsung screen with the yellow triangle followed your instructions to the letter et voila anew samsung. Cheers mate.

Do the steps above to get Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on your phone.

If it boots up fine, then no need to do those steps.

As said in step 11, if it boots up fine, then okay, you are good. Don’t do step 11.1 to 11.4. and simply proceed to step 12. That’s it. 🙂

It’s okay… you won’t have any problem using it in India. I’m using this on my S2, too.
whether we hav do these steps after installing ice cream sandwich OS on phone
Do the steps above to get Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on your phone.
after 11th step whether we have to do those steps
If it boots up fine, then no need to do those steps.
if it gets rebooted then it will automatically go to home screen ya

hey guys,
i was trying to update s2 firmware. the phone got stuck in bootloader.i had not synced the phone with kies on desktop so couldn’t resume the update.hence i decided to flash ICS files from above.the odin is repeatedly failing to flash the file. also now my phone is stuck with phone to cell link, with yellow alert mark!!! i can get in neither download nor system recovery mode!please help!
I think the firmware download for corrupted… redownload it and make sure it doesn’t get corrupted, or broken. Try again, then.
Worked well on my GS2 without a hitch.. this process was a whole lot more successful than that joke of a program KIES

I have a problem, When do the processing. I do process 1 to 10 very carefully but didn’t get complete message. in odin message box i saw now aded and remove message. My phone is not turn on now. How i can turn on of my phone. Pls help ………
Hi.. It’s Faruq again. Now i see in my phone screen in Yellow ! sign in middle with Mobile and computer logo…… Still my phone didn’t turn on….. Pls help…
Hello Faruq, are you still stuck with your Galaxy S2? Let me know if you are I will help you out. It’s easy, btw, I think just flashing the firmware again might fix it. Just make sure you are trying this on right device, the Galaxy S2 model number i9100, and not i9100G.
Also, simply doing the step 11 might also fix it. Do the step 11 first and if doesn’t fixes it, do all the steps above again, including download the firmware again in case the earlier download got corrupted.

I tried the Android 4.0.3 ICS update in my Samsung Galaxy S2 mobile as described above, it was perfectly done. Thanks Kapil. Ice cream sandwhich is not that much attractive as I expected. But it is not bad. Ginger bread and ICS are having a few changes in the User Interface styles. If somebody is eagered to see ICS User Interface, they may do this update, Otherwise Gingerbread is quite enough. I don’t like ICS more than Gingerbread. Both are attractive.
Waiting for another update from Android.
Kapil, is any updates available from Google for this ICS 4.0.3 ? If any updates availble, how to update it on my phone ?, Is auto update is possible, or manual update is the only way ? How to manually update it ? Can you please tell us ? Thanks.
Yes you are right, there aren’t much differences in Galaxy S2 Android 2.3 and Android 4.0 firmware, because of the Touchwiz UI overlaid on both.
Actually there are some updates from Google after the Android 4.0.3. It’s Android 4.0.4, IMM76D, but even newer is the IMM76I, still on 4.0.4. You don’t have it on S2 as an update from Samsung, but there are various custom roms which get you IMM76I. It’s not much anyway, so you are okay on 4.0.3. No need to bother.
thanks very much..!
Will you please tell us how to do the “Screenshot capture” ..???

what is the pass code for zip file on media fire ????

HI.
SInce installing ICS I cant download software from play store. Please advise. Thanks
Is internet working on your phone? Connect to WiFi or fill in APN settings if you plan to use mobile internet (2G/3G).
There is no other reason why it wouldn’t work.Also, make sure you have added one gmail account under settings » Accounts and Sync. Let me know after you’ve done all this.
Hi Kapil, i did all the steps till Step 6, but ODIN is not detecting my phone at all. I downloaded the drivers you provided but still. and i have a GT I9100. Could you please advise
No idea why it won’t detect your phone. Try this: restart both phone and PC. Switch off phone. Remove battery for 4-5 seconds and then place it back. Then, use any other USB plug to connect phone to computer. Don’t use USB 3.0 on Laptop. Also, if you have desktop, use the USB plug in the back side. Do all this and let me know whether it works or not. Also, use the USB cable that came with phone.

I have done this update via Kies (I’m in Brazil) and I can see many ICS features are not there, namely
Resizable widgets, continuous “open microphone” experience and streaming voice recognition, Redesigned Gallery app with photo editor, Live Effects for transforming video, and Use your voice to command your device.
Does anyone know anything about this? The version here says 4.03.
Thanks!
Those are features of ICS, but not all features of ICS are adopted by the manufacturers, hence some of them are missing on your S2. Nexus has those features because it runs stock ICS, but S2 and other phones have customized versions of ICS and the companies don’t always put it all features.

hello i installed ics 4.0 as per u r installation guide its really working good i found the speed has improved and all other apps working fine thanks …. but the only issue i have is the volume quality and strength has gone down if the volume setting is at 7 its almost mute …please help regarding this….
Guys help phone stuck at galaxy sII logo..
Nothing works..
Doesnt start at recovery mode…
Please help!!!
Remove battery for 4-5 seconds and then insert it back. Try to boot into recovery mode now by pressing and holding 3 buttons together: Volume Up+Home+Power. When it boots into recovery mode, do a factory reset. And then reboot it from there. This should boot it fine. And, all of this is for i9100, not for i9100G, so make sure you have the right device.

Hi Kapil!
Thanks for this information. I have just flash my GS2 as instructed and all went well… I think… I got the “Android is upgrading…” screen and passed the applications upgrade. Whoever, since 30minutes I am “stopped” at the “Upgrading Contacts database.” with a rotating animated circle on the left handside. Waiting… Is this normal, as it takes time to upgrade my contacts database? How long do you think it is reasonable to wait until concluding that something went wrong? Many thanks in advance! Victor.
It should not take more than 5-10 mins at that little upgrade stage… I think it’s stuck at contacts… anyway, remove battery and then put it back and then reboot. This should fix it.
Hi Kapil! I let the phone upgrading for the night and woke up with the case closed… so it really took some time to go through the upgrade process (I do have a lot of contacts…). Now all is good: works smoothly and all data are in place. Just have to customize back my screen with the app (all are installed and running). Great! I am very happy… thanks to you! Have a great day! Vic.
Nice! Enjoy the ICS!!

Hi,
I have tried installing different version of ICS 4.03 to my SGS2 but unfortunately the same problem arises in all as mentioned below:
Screen Lock function and other security options in settings like PIN CODE, PASSWORD even the SLIDE is not working.
When I activate the screen lock and press power button it just closes the screen and then it returns to the home screen without any security patters or slide etc.
Otherside when you keep press the power button it just turned off immediately and vibrated. Then I have to open it again. in 2.3.6 when you keep pressed Power button it gives you out some options like Silent Mode, Data Network mode, Flight Mode and Power Off. In ICS its just switching off…. I have searched many forums and I think this kind of problem happening in Middle East ?
Please advice. ASAP.

Then I have to open it again. in 2.3.6 when you keep pressed Power button it gives you out some options like Silent Mode, Data Network mode, Flight Mode and Power Off. In ICS its just switching off…. I have searched many forums and I think this kind of problem happening in Middle East ?
Please advice. ASAP.
this problem me too. My phone is Korean model SHW-M250S. I update this version. but screen Lock function and other security options in settings like PIN CODE, PASSWORD even the SLIDE is not working. please help me

mine stuck with phone and pc image with black screen. can’t restart my S2 anymore…HELPPPPPP MEEEE
Anyone pls help
Well , that should not happen. Did the process complete in Odin? Did you get PASS or FAIL message on Odin’s top left? Have you followed each and every step very very carefully. It’s working everyone, you should try again 🙂
hi u want sell ur dad s2 so plz cont. me on 09376220003
Odin stops at “get PIT for mapping”:…tried restarting PC and using different USB port..but does not work:(…Please help!
Are you selecting the Re-Partition checkbox, which you do not have to? That’s why it is asking for pit file. Leave Re-Partition checkbox un-ticked.
Hi Kapil, thanks for the reply. Nope, I am keeping it unticked. I tried removing the battery and reinstalling the drivers via KIES and rebooting but ODIN keeps getting stuck at either PIT Mapping or Boot.bin or most of the times it is failing completely :(…this is the latest from ODIN Log
Added!! Enter CS for MD5.. Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable.. Please wait.. GT-I9100_SER_I9100XWLP2_I9100OXELP4_I9100XXLPQ.tar.md5 is valid. Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully.. Leave CS.. Odin v.3 engine (ID:4).. File analysis.. SetupConnection.. Initialzation.. Get PIT for mapping.. Firmware update start.. boot.bin NAND Write Start!! Complete(Write) operation failed. All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1) Removed!!
Try this: Close Odin, disconnect phone and then restart both phone and PC. Switch off phone. Remove battery for 4-5 seconds and then place it back. Then, use any other USB plug to connect phone to computer. Don’t use USB 3.0 on Laptop. Also, if you have desktop, use the USB plug in the back side. Do all this and let me know whether it works or not. Also, use the USB cable that came with phone.
Hi Kapil, Tried that. Used 2 ports at the back. When I initially connect the phone, Windows 7 installs the drivers and I wait till ODIN says added…but when I flash, I still get the above log and FAIL:(…I tried rebooting and using all ports. Dunno whats the problem.
read somewhere online…..someone said wipe the cache and Factory reset in recovery mode…But when I tried getting to recovery mode it says. Firmware encountered and issue and please try selecting Recovery mode in KIES but KIES does not connect too!!:(
Do one thing.. try with this new Odin, link: http://www.mediafire.com/?189h7dqldccnrq8

Kapil, Thanks for all the great work. I installed this on my SGS2 and it works well. Only 2 problems, i) screen gets heated up ii) i cant connect to bluetooth headsets it says password is wrong, but i dont have a place to enter password.
Please help
Some times, using it too much right after you’ve installed the new rom/firmware on your phone, doesn’t allow new kernels and all things to complete their background processing. So, keep phone idle for 10 mins or so and then switch it off. Then, power it on and I hope it won’t overheat like it’s doing now. Although, no guarantee.
And, sry, no idea about the Bluetooth password thing.

Hey guys, thanks for this. Since I flashed XXLPQ to my SGS2, every three seconds or so it freezes and I get the message that android.process.acore has stopped. It’s making the phone pretty much unusable – is there something I can do to stop this? Thanks!

Hi…
My first upgrade to v. 4.0.3 worked perfectly. (and I should have remained there 🙁 )
BUT,curiosity killed the cat! I downloaded the new v. 4.0.4 upgrade and attempted to
install in the same way as previously. PROBLEMS!!
Using KIES,having set the Galaxy S II in Osin receive modus,it could not find the USB
port. I then remembered your advice to remove Kies and I un-installed it.
Following your points EXACTLY I started Odin and plugged in my Galaxy.
A green field came up displaying the COM port.
I activated the PDA button and loaded up the new upgrade file.
I then hit START and waited for Odin to connect with my Galaxy.
The top left window turned red and no connection!!
I also tried the various repeat actions you recommended but no dice,still not connecting.
Checking the Win 7 system manager,the Samsung Galaxy USB driver was listed and running correctly.
I am stuck in no-man´s-land now as I have no option to return to base,only to upgrade the firmware.
I ´d very much appreaciate your advice.

Hi again..
Using EXACTLY the method you recommended,I re-installed v. 4.0.3 which worked perfectly!
I think it must have been the v. 4.0.4 I had downloaded from the Internet which must have been in-compatible or faulty.
Any idea when the v. 4.0.4 will be available from this site?
Thanks anyway..

My phone was still using an old software 2. something! It stopped registering my SIM and I was looking at losing a lot of info etc as the shop said it would have to be sent away to be reset etc. I used the above and updated my software and now my phone is like a new. It feels like having a new phone in the same shell, its fantastic. Thank you!!
