If you are talking about the AT&T i777 S2, then you anyone from this page - http://galaxys2root.com/category/att-galaxy-s2-roms/

Sorry bro, unless something custom. But this will likely not be supported.


tunamania: pls am on samsung s3 i need a direct ungrade link for jellybean 4.2 a resumable link pls and what will be the extra features

I use an S3 also, I will upload the Latest firmware for you before the end of tomorrow. Or do you want the latest Nigerian one (I9300XXELLB_I9300OJVELL3_ECT)?

Follow instructions in the next post, except that your will be ICS. And i won't advice you flash your own phone. It 'might' SIM-Lock your phone. Unless you want to take the chance.
AND PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Flash this one instead - http://www.hotfile.com/dl/171794012/1c0dd5e/I9100PBVLPC_I9100PORALPB_ORA.zip.html

DO NOT TRY USING GT I9100 Firmware as you have GTI9100P. There is a reason they are different. Even there is GT-I9100G. They all use different ROMs. smiley

Hello
I got a t-mobile version of d s2 (unlocked) and it was working just fine. But all of a sudden the Bluetooth gas ceased to function. When I flip the Bluetooth switch.it says "turning on Bluetooth" but IT WON'T COME ON!
Also my earphones don't work on it anymore.
Re: Samsung Galaxy S2, S3, S4, Note 2 & 3 Expert by Stanley08(m): 8:27am On Feb 03, 2013
HERE IS THE POST GUYS!!! I don't know why it was deleted the first time

FOR INTERNATIONAL GALAXY S2 PHONES ONLY!!! GTI9100 (NOT FOR GT I9100P or GTI9100G or SGH-i777 or ay other variant)

DO YOUR BACKUPS! (optional Of course. Just reminding you)

BACKUP! BACKUP!! BACKUP!!!

BackUp apps

1. Astro File Manager (Extract apk of installed apps) - Get from play store

2. Super BackUp (Messages, Contacts and Log) - Get from play store

3. Titanium Backup (Root only) - BackUp app and app data (Not SD data files though)

Also, backup the files you have in your Internal SD to a folder on your computer. Simple copy and paste backup as Factory Reset below would wipe Internal SD too)


NOW! Factory Reset your phone (I said this so won't have problems on first boot)
Settings > Backup and Reset > Factory Data Reset.

Unless you know how to wipe using ClockWorkMod (CWM) please, factory reset+wipe your phone.


MAKE SURE BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED!


NORMAL WAY (OFFICIAL WAY)

1. Download KIES and connect mobile (wait for it to install phone) then search for update.

2. When you find update follow steps there to update mobile (read carefully).


DOWNLOAD KIES - http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.com/downloadfile/ContentsFile.aspx?CDSite=US&CDCttType=SW&ModelType=N&ModelName=FM_UPDATE&idyn=N&VPath=SW/201208/20120809103126135/Kies_2.3.2.12074_13_13.exe


THE ODIN WAY (UNOFFICIAL WAY)

1. Uninstall KIES if you installed it (This is VERY IMPORTANT because KIES can disrupt flashing with ODIN) - You REALLY don't want this to happen!
(during uninstall, tick the box so drivers will uninstall also). Restart ur pc.

2. Download and Install Samsung Mobile phone driver from here - http://www.mediafire.com/?4gwen7qlbpmeqck
Restart your computer again after installing. Important!

3. Connect phone to PC to install drivers. Wait for it to finish properly then disconnect phone.

(also go into Settings > Applications > Development. Then Tick USB debugging. Connect phone to PC again and let ADB drivers install)


4. Download the latest ROMs from here http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9100 (the higher the Changelist, the later it is. Meaning one with a changelist of 1418025 has more stuffs or fixes than one with 914166 even tho they re the same 4.1.2).
The ROMs always come in .zip format and what you need to flash is .tar, so naturally... you need to extract to get it.


5. Download ODIN (Samsung Flashing tool). Link - http://www.sendmyway.com/vju6egzhj0al (Uploaded by Stanley08)

Unzip it to a New folder in your desktop maybe (to find easily). Or any other path you want to keep it.


HAVE YOU DONE YOUR BACKUPS?!!!


6. Turn off mobile phone.


7. Open up ODIN (I always advice Windows 7 and Vista users to right-click and open as admin instead)


8. In ODIN, Just click on 'PDA' then browse to the folder where the extracted single file in step 4 is. (.md5 format)

Select the file. (check desktop if you extracted to desktop).


9. Put phone in download mode. (Hold the following buttons = Volume down+Home+Power)

Keep holding till you get a warning prompt asking if you are sure you want to enter Download Mode.

Press Volume Up button to accept. Now you will see an android logo and a sign dat says 'Downloading...'

Don't worry, Its not downloading anything yet, its just a confirmation that phone is now in download mode.


10. Connect the phone to PC using your USB cable. Now wait a little bit and ODIN will detect that a phone is connected .

You know this when the first 'ID:COM' box in ODIN lights up.


11. Make sure the 're-partition' box is NOT ticked! Leave every other thing the way it is. Just make sure 're-partition' is NOT ticked! DO NOT TICK!!!


NOW WE ARE READY TO FLASH STOCK JELLY BEAN v4.1.2


12. Just click START! Sit back and sip your coffee while your phone upgrades to JELLY BEAN (shud take about 5mins).


When Its done, phone will restart itself and you will be running on JELLY BEAN v4.1.2


ENJOY!!!

Please give me your current ROM details and explain what exactly is the problem. Also, give me a screenshot of this screen Settings > About phone. Upload here for me to see... (How to take screenshots - Hold down power and home button together for a few seconds, about 2 seconds; then find pic under screenshots in Gallery or sdcard/pictures/screenshots)
