Is there any way to upgrade my galaxy s II plus gt-I9105 (non NFC version)
Without any risks of breaking it??
It seems that the 4.2.2 update didn't roll out on my country..
and i dont want to root my phone coz im scared to make a mistake and end up with a brick phone..
any help?? sorry for my bad english..
It won't. Btw flashing different firmware doesn't mean rooting anyway.
Give it a go. It won't brick so easily. Odin isn't that bad

Maybe all of you can search through the whole s2 plus forum. Including all. Q/A. General. Android development. All kinds of platform where you can find your answer. Before asking any questions. It would save us very much time

Yes it'd brick it if you mess up.
But according to what I experience. I don't think you'd brick it if you keep your phone plugged without doing anything to it. Dude, chill. It won't do any damage
Odin v3.04 is what I prefer. Google it.
Search your firmware on sammobile

google odin like bro brian said. afterward it's all straight forward process,and yes,you don't need to be rooted.
off ur phone>press power+home+vol down, then when download mode comes,press vol up to confirm.
then open your odin,makes sure repartition untick(default shoud be unticked),select your firmware via PDA,connect your phone(make sure u installed samsung driver to be detected),see the blue light,then can click start and wait till it's green light and reboot itself.
don't take all my word for it,search some info in general section before you flash it,if you done everything properly,it shouldn't be any problem.

dude no offence but...just believe in us
3.04 is working flawlessly
a firmware for a specific country means the default language is set that way, and English is definitely included.
if you follow the outside link, i'm not saying there'd definitely be errors, but it's better to follow instructions given by us
download odin 3.04
download the firmware
put your phone into download mode
kill all KIES process (your computer)
Run odin as admin
connect phone to PC
choose your firmware on the tab: PDA
click start
wait until it reboots
DONE
be brave and simply click start. don't even touch your computer while the process is still going (just in case)
thanks!!

Connect your phone when it's still turned on. Drivers should install now automatically. Which you don't have to click anything and it'd install something. Then when it says it's fully done. Boot to download mode.
Connect it but don't open Odin first. It will install some drivers again. Also automatically. When it's done. Right click on the Odin icon. Choose run as admin (window 7 or up).
If it says connected.
Choose your firmware and click start.
Before you click anything relating to starting the process in Odin. Even if you were in the download mode. If you weren't flashing anything yet, it's gonna be okay
Hope I helped.
If you need any further help. Keep asking. It's fine to answer

I suggest you first flash your phone using Odin to XXKPE firmware. Then flash to XXKPQ/KPU (more stable). Download the root file for the installed firmware. You should be ok

No, thats not true. The only ones with bugs are the older roms. XXKPE is old but it's very stable with no bugs. Where did you hear that "XX series" roms are experimental? The "XX" or "DD" letters only indicate the region of the release. In this case "XX" roms are for europe while "DD" roms are for around India and some parts of Asia. However, you can still use roms like XXKPQ and XXKPU world-wide.
For your Rooting problem
Have you tried SuperOneClick? If not, just download the latest version and install. Then make sure debugging mode is ticked on your phone, open superoneclick and connect your phone. Just click Root and wait for phone to restart.
If you've already tried SuperOneClick, Then your best option is to install XXKPE with .pit file. Just follow the steps on this site and upgrade to DDKP3 or XXKPU, then try rooting your phone.

First thing you must install Samsung kies in you laptop and then install odin

Hi
Not sure if you're issue is fixed so I'll give my 2 cents.
Try cleaning the information of your USB devices using Drive Cleanup [use google ] assuming you have a Windows PC.
Then install latest Kies for latest USB drivers or if your PC is set to get drivers directly from the internet then updated drivers will be installed automatically once you attach your phone.
Hope this helps

I have superoneclick with USB debugging on--> it stuck at step 7 & application freezes.

Im having the same issue. My cel is a Galaxy Fit GT S5670L notice that the L is for latin america. i previously bricked another same phone because i didn't read the warning about using ROM MANAGER on this phone... but back to my issue i bought another one cheap and lightly used. so i decided to install a custom rom from here. First i updated the 2.2 Froyo to 2.3.6 Gingerbread with ODIN, everything fine till there. Then installed the clockwork recovery 5 with ODIN too, and finally the ROM wich i decided to install the Cyanogenmod-7.2-Stable-GBSV4XDA-FVT, pretty cool rom BTW. Everything is working PERFECT with the rom EXCEPT that it is not working with my provider... the first hours after the installation was working perfect the after a few hours everybody was saying that they called me and just voicemail no ring at all... i looked at my phone and the signal was OK, Provider name and everything good but nothing. Then i tried this switched to Plane Mode On and Off to disconnect any connection and worked for a few minutes and the problem started again...
So i decided to try another ROM i decided for the Cyanogenmod_avibidz_v1.0 and like the last ROM everything worked fine for a few hours and the same issue again exactly the same.
So i got sick of it so i decided to switch back the stock ROM that thank god i found on the web but now the BIG ISSUE,,, i CONNECT the phone to the PC and says USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED... so i was like WTF!!
I hope you experts could help me find the issue plz i miss my phone... Thanks in advance

You need install stock ROM for Kies. How instaliratoi stock ROM I have explained before in one of his commentary. Only after you installed the stock ROM, then you can connect Kies with the phone.

OK i finally installed the stock ROM now its working at 100% aparently will try it for the next couple of days to see if anything fails. But damn this means that theres no Custom ROM i can install on my phone that doesnt give me any problems with my provider.
Does anybody can explain me why this happens?? is there any config or something that the ROM can be modified to make it work with my provider?? Because the STOCK ROM really sucks!!

Hello everybody !
Sorry if there already is a thread about this but could not find it for the GT-I8160.
Rooting, installing custom roms etc. feels too difficult to me at least for now so i have decided that i go back to GB ( i had updated to JB using KIES).
Do you guys know a good tutorial how to do the downgrade ?
Many Thanks !

@pedroleon99 thanks for the right link !
Sorry for my stupid questions but i dont want to break my first android phone.
Found this link also http://www.ibnewsline.com/index.php...om-android-412-jelly-bean-to-gingerbreadguide and there it says that you also need to Download and install USB Driver and to make sure that USB Debugging Mode is enabled on the phone to attach it with the PC and use android SDK with it.
So, before i follow the instructions on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141930 i will first install the usb drivers and download android SDK ?
You already have kies so drivers are installed.
@nusko_x thanks again !
Couple questions more. I will do this :
1. download the Odin and the Rom with the PHONE, right ? Where do i save them on the phone ?
2. Turn off the phone and boot it into Download/Odin mode
3. In the Odin i select the PIT , CSC , PDA files
4. Install Rom

Hello,
Run into problem.
Odin doesnt detect my device, the ID:COM port at Odins doesnt turn yellow, its blue all the time ? I have Odin3 v.3.04 version and no problem getting into download mode but there it stops (i run all these steps as administrator)
I suspect it has to do with the usb drivers although i have KIES installed. The only thing i have done with the KIES is searching for the JB upgrade (which i should never have installed) .
Just in case, how can i check that the drivers are installed ?

Hi There!
I've seen this before and I hope this work for you.
Try this:
1. Download a rom for your device, it has to be a stock one (you can find some here or here)
2. Uninstall Kies.
3. Install usb drivers for your device, you can download them here.
4. Run Odin as administrator.
5. Connect your tablet to your PC, Odin should show "Added"
6. Flash the stock rom you downloaded earlier.
Let it reboot and it should be ok now, if this doesn't work, I can't help you any further.
Wish you the best.
Keep it up!!!...
Stay Cool!!!...

I just checked the links and they DO work, just try to stay calm and read carefuly, I know it's not easy to brick our devices, but with some work and effort we can get them back to life just by simply reading and following instructions.

sounds like a bad flash, are you able to get into download mode? i would recommend if your able to get into download mode, you should download your firmware from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ make sure its your GT-I9100P model only, download odin and flash that zip you get from sammobile. make sure re-partition is unchecked, normally it is but be careful. if you get stuck please be sure to reply back.

Sammobile does have the firmware,i saw it myself, its a little tricky you have to go down about half way of the page to the checker and look through the long list of models, not entering your model number. from there choose your country, im guessing orange is Canada or the UK? France as-well has it.

cool hope all goes well! remember, its a simple and easy task, make sure you have samsung usb drivers installed, download odin (from that download page there should be a download for odin) plug in your device, when one of the little boxs towards the top right is green, hit pda and click start, make sure re-partition is not checked and wait about around 5-10min and your device should be back to samsungs stock 4.1.2 build for the device.
