Writing a single-file .md5 firmware image
Recently, all firmware updates Samsung phone Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 is presented as a single file with the extension .md5. Difficulties often arise with this, and in vain, because everything is much simpler. Firmware with one file is practically no different from multi-file firmware, except that it is more simple. The settings of the Odin3 v1.85 flasher with this firmware are as follows:
In the program settings, select the following:
- put a tick on Re-Partition, Auto Reboot, And F. Reset Time
- choose PIT file u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit with firmware metrics
- unpack the firmware and select the firmware file I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXXLPD_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar.md5 to category PDA

Installing ROOT on GT-i9100 with firmware 4.0.3
For installation root rights we will need to write a file with a modified kernel for our firmware. In our case, we installed the I9100XX firmware LPQ and to install ROOT you will need a modified kernel file for firmware LPQ CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5 . After you have downloaded required file, unzip it to any folder, there should be a file CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5.tar
In the Odin program settings, select the following to install the modified kernel:
- put a tick only on Auto Reboot And F. Reset Time
- select the PIT file u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit with the firmware metric
- unpack the modified kernel CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5.tar and place it in the category PDA
We connect the phone in firmware mode and press Start

Another test subject, Samsung GT-I9100, had to be updated to the latest official firmware. Unfortunately, the latest official version for this device is on Android based 4.1.2, for the most part the firmware is excellent, not counting that the manufacturer loves to cram branded “trash” into them. Flashing the official firmware is not that difficult, all you need is:
- Charge the device to capacity, that is, 100%, do not neglect the charge, in the firmware mode it eats up the charge in buckets;
- Install drivers for Samsung's; they are available in Kies, but they are also available separately;
- You will need an Odin flasher;
- Well, the firmware itself;
Having installed the drivers, turn off the phone, press the volume down button, the center button ok and turn it on, having received a warning, press up, the phone goes into download mode. You should see a picture like this
For single-file firmware
The ID:COM item should display 0: in my case 0: yours may be different. The Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time checkboxes must be checked, then use the PDA button to select our single-file firmware. Click Start. At the end of the process above 0: the inscription on a green background PASS! in the All threads completed log. This indicates that the firmware is complete, your device will reboot and turn on, but the data will remain on the phone.
This method is recommended only for updating official version firmware!!! Do not use single-file firmware to downgrade or upgrade, Also not recommended for transitions from custom firmware to stock (official) firmware
For three-file firmware
Press the PDA button, select the file CODE_XXXX, then select Phone, select MODEM_XXXX, CSC select the file CSC_XXXX, (where XXXX is the phone model in this case I9100) then click Start
The international version of the Samsung Galaxy S2 has not received updates from the manufacturer for a long time, but we were able to find the official Android 4.1.2 ZSLSE firmware. The firmware is not tied to any operator, that is, it works on an international smartphone model and has Chinese language packs. To take advantage of this update, you need to have an unlocked Galaxy S2 and carefully follow the step-by-step instructions.
Before you download necessary materials, you need to check your smartphone - you need ClockworkMod installed.
Now let's note changes made in the firmware: you will get an updated TouchWiz interface, as well as Project Butter, an improved lock screen, S-Cloud, Direct Call, Smart Stay and Pop-up Play. If you have a truly international Galaxy S2, you'll also get 50GB of DropBox storage, multiple desktops, and improved Google Now, as well as a new notification panel.
This firmware is intended ONLY for international Samsung versions Galaxy S2 GT-I9100!
To install the update, first recharge the batteries to at least 85%, and also enable the “USB Debugging” option in the settings. Check it in the settings in the developer menu.
