Download the file from this link http://terafile.co/160993610986/I9300XXEMF6_I9300PHEEMF1_I9300XXEMF6_PHE.zip

Unzip it to any part of ur pc, install Samsung drivers. Download Odin. Put phone in download mode and Odin should recognise ur phone and u should confirm this with the text added on the Odin or the yellow sign showing the com port u are connected to. Then hit on pda then u will be prompted to point to the file u downloaded and zipped. Then hit start. The rest is for Odin to do. And ensure re - partition is not checked

What kernel did u root the phone with, chainfire? Siyah.? Or dorinmax? If u rooted with chainfire then am sure u failed to recognise the fact that u have to check the kernel version u had on ur s2 to match with the corresponding chainfire kernel. Well there is a way to get it working.
Step 1.download a stock s2 rom and flash with odin to make the phone come on, if it still bootloops then boot into recovery to clear data.
Step 2 don't root with chainfire, just flash dorinmax kernel and make u flashing the one for stock Samsung and not cm.

Step 3.boot into recovery and do all the necessary wipes and flash rom and gapps. It should boot
Thanks. i got it working again. so whats the proper way to get the 4.4 working on my S2? i have tried doing it using both dorinmax and siyah and i still got the same ''installation aborted''

got Galaxy S3 international edition. problem is I have a galaxy gear and need to take my S3's 4.1.2 to 4.3 so as to be able to use it.

Now, how would I upgrade my os without rooting phone?

Since Samsung has snubbed Nigeria when in cones to OTA updates

Next time when you're faced with a problem like this, Google is your first port of call.

Just Google "merge pdf" and you'll find services online for that. I should add that most online pdf merging services will add their watermark to your document.

Another alternative is to download PDFill and install on your computer. It does almost everything you could think of to pdf files. It's free.

Stock ROM? If yes, you have to wait till Samsung releases an update for your region. I don't believe there's one out yet (I could be wrong).

If you're desperate (like me), just get a custom ROM.
FYI, custom ROM voids your warranty.

Seems like u using an outdated recovery. Read change ur recovery to philz recovery, download the most recent one, cos from experience 4.4 needs a special recovery to be installed and philz took care of it in the latest version

Try ZArchiver if it accepts zip files

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.zdevs.zarchiver

Or This other app for pdf
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.intsig.camscanner

Best is to use PDF Creator on a pc and transfer to phone tho...

Soooo many easy things that you can just do a Google Search for. Simple Google search.

Settings > About Phone > Software Updates. Check there. If not you have to download the firmware and flash it via ODIN.

This one has a higher Changelist tho - http://terafile.co/6002f0b9a075 (server with this file seems to be down now tho, that is 'resaix11'). But aspmx22 holds the one above and it's up. So I advice you wait for resaix11 to come back online or you can download the first one. I have a terafile premium account, so i know using a Free account is not the issue...

And it's India (INU) so even if you want to stay legit (no rooting) you can just use it and they get OTA updates frequently. smiley

Taking too long to charge? That's the USB cable. Had the same experience when I bought mine back in June. Better you change it.

If you really wanna root, Google "how to root galaxy 9300". Don't forget Rooting voids your warranty.
