7. And connect your own device to the personal computer now. Then you must get this message ‘Added!’ under the message box Odin at the left bottom. When you do not get the message, then there is an issue probably with drivers. Ensure that you have the drivers are installed-and if not, then use the link(s) above given at this pre-installation thinking above heading. If when you do not get the message still ‘Added’ and then try to restart the personal computer or another port USB. You may also try to install the software Kies as the last resort, then this will surely fix it.
8. Choose the files on Odin in the respective tabs
- Press the Tab PDA, then choose CODE_I9100XXKH3_CL479037_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5 (from step 2.1)
- Press Phone Tab, then choose MODEM_I9100XXKH3_REV_02_CL1050544.tar.md5 (from the step 2.6)
- Press its CSC Tab, then choose- GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKH3.tar.md5 (from step 2.4)

9. Important! Ensure the three checkboxes must be already ticked- Auto Reboot, F. Time Reset and Re-Partition. Since we use the file .pit, checkbox Re-Partition must be clicked also, and not otherwise.
10.Everything must be double-checked that is mentioned in the step 8 & 9 above.
11. And now, tap the button START to have this flashing process begin. If this is finished your device will reboot automatically- then you must have the cable unplugged then. Additionally you will get the PASS (having the green background) and the message at the box left most on the top of Odin. When it is red and having FAIL written on this, then this flashing process was not successful. Then you try again, so then see to it that you will not complete this whole method with no break at all.
12. If the phone will restart, then it will run the newest version 2.3.4 Android OS along custom Samsung TouchWiz 4 UI on top it. Verify your devices version Android here <Settings< About Phone.

When your device was already rooted before the flashing, then you like this root back again, correct? Well, that is very obvious. Rooting S2 can be very easy, all that you need maybe the flashing developer Chainfire’s -Root Kernel(CF) and with the use of PDA Tab Odin- that which is fairly easy, thanks all to Chainfire!
