Hello. First, sorry for my bad english, im going try explain how I can..
Download this firmware+odin: http://115.com/file/e6vefbt4 2.3.4 ZSKI1 ROOT
Updated: I9103ZSKJ2 2.3.5 root http://www.multiupload.com/9JMLPMYK9B (Extract only the .rar, not the .tar).

2.- Get mobile on Download Mode: Remove the battery. Insert the battery, hold down volume down+menu and power the phone on. This should put your phone in download mode. Select "Yes".
3.- Extract the firmware and configure Odin like this:

@ D4rKiTo
Thank you and waiting for 2.3.6.
( I already try to download the Asian-ROM but. After downloading the firmware the language was in Asian language but i manged get English.

Now i have KJ2 again.

There's easier way to root and you don't have to flash whole firmware, just a root package and voila!
We're waiting for custom rom! Good job!

I can't release my rom yet. I don't know the partition name for dump and it isn't the same as galaxy S2. fdisk -l doesn't work (blank) :S

Tell me what version do you have (2.3.4 or 2.3.5) and I add a kernel rooted for flash with odin.

I found this one from a Swedish forum:
But it is 2.3.4. Try it at your own risk. The source say first link works fine.

This is firmware - stock roms - without root. They do completely opposite. They unroot your device I know cos that's my thread
BTW. We just have 2.3.4 in Europe

Sorry, this is my first time flashing firmware on Android. I'm very much used to iPhone stuff, jailbreaking, etc..
I am first trying to flash the i9103 to the Euro rom but i'm running into this issue: i42.tinypic.com/30tl14y.png
<ID:0/008> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> MD5 hash value is invalid
<OSM> BOOTLOADER_CL344257.tar.md5 is invalid.
<OSM> End...
For some reason Odin cannot detect the device in Download mode, but it's detected properly in Device Manager, and Kies can detect the device while in normal mode.
Also tried this on 2 separate Win7 32 machines, and saw the same issue, tried all of the usb ports on the machines, tried to reboot, re-install drivers, just about everything at this point, tried to put the device into Download mode multiple times...
Edit: that was with the MULTI CSC, going to try the Nordic..
UPDATE: WORKS PERFECT WITH THE NORDIC!!!

I know I run into the same problem yesterday I sent an email to one admin. I'll post a solution as soon as I get feedback.
Ps. IF You Flash via Odin turn off kies and all processes in bakground that are related to kies. Check usb-debugging and boot into download mode.

Hello, first post updated!
Kernels for root with ODIN: 2.3.4 2.3.5 2.3.6
Use it in PDA! Dont extract! Just use the .tar directly.

well done mate!

#1 the version was leaked rather than produced.
#2 it will probably work, just only KIES can handle it. ODIN v1.85 cannot.

Hello mai77. Sorry if I will revive this topic. I bricked my phone and I'd like to know how to odinize this kind of firmware because I have got an useless phone right now .
Could you help me?.
Thank you very much..

You can download the stock Rom from Docky's thread and flash it via Odin. He has made a lot of stock firmware flashable via Odin Life saver.

Hello, thanks for your reply.
I've been in Docky's post but I didn't find any flashable rom for my phone (GT-B5510L). I wanted to reply his post but I can't. I think there is a forum's policy.

facebook.com, you better read more info about flashing before do it, or you will hard brick your Note 2. Your phone is not bricked... for now.

oh sorry for that....bcoz all r don't know about this phone history.when i took phone from customer there is problem Phone logo hang on startup.then i try to make hard reset but nothing to hard reset phone.then i try to it flash with odin latest version but when i make flash odin direct say "fail!" dialog box is appear "there is no pit partition" then i pm to dr.ketan for Pit.many way i try to it flash but its nothing get to flash.try also "cwm6-recovery-note2.tar.md5" & try a kernel put in the phone but all r failed "Perseus.alpha24-N7100.tar".
I try was re-partition & without re-partition but its same.
Someone told me i don't know how to make flash?
ok?
Just tell me how to make flash?
If u know for me better then i want to learn to u.
But here i make thered for solution not for spammer.
If anybody want to comment here just comments about thered? Nothing Else..!

Let's cut the guy some slack and help him out. Everyone makes mistakes. I can't even imagine how I would feel if my Note 2 wasn't working. :crying:

Did you check the custom binary counter when u took it from your customer? Maybe someone messed it up before bringing it to u, and if u tried to flash kernel and recovery and they failed, there might be a chance that the NAND is faulty in which case it's better to send it to the service center

Try flashing just stock kernel.

Think he used repartition and with PIT files because we are both box owners, and many product supporters recommend us using both PIT and repartition...
I always flash it with PIT and with repartition checked, but if something goes wrong, then I can flash it by RIFF box using JTAG...
Mate you messed up your partition area, or your EMMC is corrupted... I will try to look for a working PIT... Which boxes do you have??

This should work for the OP fine, this is the method i used. Remember to give the device a few minutes at the samsung logo after your flash completes, can appear its not doing anything, just leave it to do it's thing. If still stuck after 5 mins flash again.

thnx

[Q] Downgrade to 4.2.2 to 4.1.2

Hello Guys
thanks for reading my post and helping me on this.
So i want to downgrade from 4.2.2 to 4.1.2 (4.2,2 is very slow.. atleast on my grand).
I downloaded the stock rom from XDA , this one was for 776 mb and had only the ROM in it, While using ODIN , "pit" is required (ODIN prompts for this).
Question:
1, Can i use the pit , modem and bootloader files (from 4.2.2 rom) or are these specific to the ROM?
2. If no , can you please suggest where i can download these files for 4.1.2 rom.
Pasting SS of both ROM and these files....

Hi can you please share the link where u've downloaded all thode files(MODEM,PIT,et., ) for 4.1.2.

There is a long discussion about this topic if anybody care to use the search function.
The files on the screenshot are for XUBMF2 which is 4.2.2 not 4.1.2
I have downgraded 2x already from leak and russian 4.2.2 and I always used 1 file from the XXAMF7 downloaded from sammobile. Just wipe data and cache before reboot or you will have boot loop. Do not check repartition in odin or else odin will ask for pit file which is not needed.
All the needed files are inside the tar.md5 file. Odin automatically loads them. So no need for all those files previously req by leak.
