Galaxy S2 2.3.4 firmware

What is the easiest way to install 2.3.4 version or newer to my Galaxy S2 4G current is 2.3.3. I will be using it in Canada.. Thanks

Official way: Check if KIES is offering you a firmware
Unofficial way: You can download the firmware from the Dev section Stock or Custom and then flash it using Odin
Stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Also explains how to flash. Please read how to flash and DO SELECT only what is given. Selecing PIT in ODIN leads to BRICK and unusable

Thanks for the info!!! If I do update it will put everything to normal right and it will unroot the phone?

Don't understand the 'put everything to normal' part but after flashing any ROM you will lose root. Need to re root.

Thats fine no too worry about root normal i meant everything will go back to stock or factory state condition. That triangle will go away too right after flashing the rom? thanks for your quick response

If you use one of the stock roms there is no yellow triangle. You wont see carrier animation on boot, but that is a good thing in my opinion. It's as if you bought an unlocked phone not tied to a network.

I wonder if this court injunction by apple will slow the rollout of v2.3.4 to the rest of Europe, I hope not i am sick of waiting as it is.

So just odin right? Not sure which stock rom I can use with it been searching around here and seen so many of them.

You did read the 1st post of that link right? I mean specifically the part that said "Flashing firmware with Odin" and had the usless screenshots and stuff.

Coming from moto to samsung

Just got my hands on a fascinate cheap. I'm coming from a fully rooted moto droid 2 and I want to get my samsung rooted and get Miui running. I've seen some different posts on how to root. Anyone got any suggestions for which method works and the best and whether or not I need to number on 2.3 or 2.2. Or whether it matters or not.
Thanks

Welcome. First flash cwm recovery via Odin. Then flash miui 1.9.16 or Droid Vicious 1.10.7 (not 1.9.30, Widgets won't work as I've read)
Again welcome to the forms. I also came from a Motorola phone (Droid x) and rsd is just like Odin so its pretty easy to get used to.

Cool man. Thanks. So Odin achieves root right off the bat. I know you can't load cwm until after you root moto phones.

Miui comes pre-rooted. Not need to root.

Odining a pre-rooted ROM will achieve root off the bat.. And Odining a stock rom without root will remove it..
Sent by way of the GB delivery truck..

In order to flash anything on motorola phones you need to achieve root first. Then flash custom roms. Your saying that you achieve root through odin and then push the rom through with odin?

Pretty much.. ya, unless the ROM is in zip form then we just Odin CWR then flash through there.

Mobile Odin now Supports the Galaxy Tab 7.7

Mobile OdIn by Chainfire now has support for the P6800 and P6810. Just a heads up for P6800 and 6810 owners.. Let the mobile flashing begin..!
Now we need some roms.. Lol

Tab 7.7

im noob for samsung, what is mobile odin?

Good news. Thx.
The problem is that it can't operate. It tells me that there is unexpected partition and shuts down. ):

I saw that too and contacted Chainfire and he resolved the issue.. there is a new build and it does not report any error on my device.. As always use @ your own risk..!

Will we be able to flash ROM's with CWM anytime soon ?
I'm used to that using my Note, ODIN seems more technical (need to know what ur doing)
So if some cook decided to build a custom ROM , would be be able to flash via (mobile) ODIN, and/or CWM?

Odin support since I bought my tab last week. Been using it already to flash Australia firmware ;-)

I think your confused.. Odin alkways worked... But MOBILE Odin got support for the 7.7 early this morning, Late last night.

Assuming CWN works correctly you will be able to flash as soon as someone releases a rom.
As for Odin being to "technical", If you do NOT know how to use odin, then you should NOT be modding your device. Odin is a simple click, add the file, press start. How hard is that?
Not everything can be spoon fed.
Edit: Also why is this in development? Should be in general.

My sincere thanks to you for your first line, the answer.
The rest, well, it's a forum and It got a lot worse after 2008.
Golden years were 2005-2008.

what do you do after mobile Odin has downloaded a dump file to make device compatable???

Chainfire has already done the work to make Mobile Odin work with P6800/6810. If you're using mobile odin lite, you need to download the flash kernel manually from chainfire's thread. The paid version from market should do this automatically.

i've tried both technic to flash mine.. mobile odin pro just made my device went to loop booting. then i used odin 1.85 rev. 3 for wwindows which made my device alive again..

Since it was updated to support the p6800 I have never used Odin on my laptops/desktops again, and haven't had any issues flashing from the device with mobile Odin. You should check to make sure everything is set correctly and you have the flash kernel loaded properly..

[Q] MK809ii CWM and Flashing

Hey guys, is it possible to flash CWM via stock recovery using update.zip method and then flash a custom ROM for example finless, from what I've read this isn't possible because finless resizes the partitions can this not be done with CWM? And what custom roms are available that will flash directly via CWM or must first custom ROM be flashed via OTG?
Thanks in advance guys!

I flashed cwm that way and it worked on my mk809ii. Then flashed superSU in cwm and that's as far as I've got, not flashed another rom yet...

I'm still waiting on my 809 to be delivered I already have that CWM thanks and the option should come under advanced
Hopefully if I'm right a PC won't be needed to flash finless first time

Thanks for the link sounds like CWM was thrown together and resize partitions isn't implemented properly oh well trial and error here I come lol

Yes, for now I'm just happy I was able to flash cwm and root without a windows PC - I'll be trying out leolas instructions for flashing finless 1.7a or 1.7b via cwm (haven't decided yet). Will be sure to post my results...

Will do. I'm basically pretty happy with the stick just stock rooted for my main purpose (HD media player) but I would enjoy more space for apps and getting a bit more performance out of the hardware so I'll inevitably be trying to flash finless in the days ahead...

Hello
Did you manage to unbrick the MK809II ?
If so can you tell me how did you do it ?
Thanks

Have you tried the mk808 unbrick method, think the reset switch on the 809ii does the same as shorting in the nand

Download official rom from:
Code:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-P5100
or
Code:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/?
and flash it by Odin program.
Personaly I think Android without root is *** Generally Tab2 have horrible lags and should bee boost by custom modifications...
I recommend you use new custom roms with KK 4.4.2

Ok i am thinking about root could you give me some links to a tutorial of how to root this device an what i neeed to get kitkat

Easiest way is to just flash a custom recovery with Odin and installing a custom Rom.

No. Sammobile is for official (Samsung) builds. One can use Odin without root. Sammobile even gives the steps to get it done. Achieving root grants you access to ALL files (system and otherwise) so one can flash custom ROM's and other mods. Of course, having that kind of access means you can brick your Tab as well. I really suggest reading as much as you can about root and custom ROM's before you do such a thing. Knowledge is power when it comes to the root game.
