Unable to get lrojasma method 2 to work.
All, I'm encouraged that multiple people have got lrojasma method 2 to work; but I have failed mutliple times to get it to work.
Procedure followed:
1) Download the file I9100XXKI3.rar from either: ttp://s560.hotfile.com/get/067da9533ae8b477e9c33ec9d165e226dc673c6c/4ea43601/512/1d269b5487686ae9/7c8cee3/I9100XXKI3.rar, or ttp://downloads.androidadvices.com/i9100XXKG6.zip.
2) Extract all 4 files from I9100XXKI3.rar:
a) CODE_I9100XXKI3_CL577579_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5,
b) GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKI3.tar.md5,
c) MODEM_I9100XXKI3_REV_02_CL1062028.tar.md5,
d) u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit
2) Extract all 8 files from CODE_I9100XXKI3_CL577579_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5.
a) boot.bin,
b) cache.img,
c) data.img,
d) factoryfs.img,
e) hiddent.img,
f) param.lfs
g) Sbl.bin
h) zImage
I used two different tar file tools: PeaZIP and 7-Zip. Note, I'm running Win7 64 and these are the only two programs I could get to run on my computer. Both complained that the original tar file ended incorrectly; but seamed to extract all the files correctly.
3) I re compressed the 6 files
a) cache.img,
b) data.img,
c) factoryfs.img,
d) hiddent.img,
e) param.lfs
f) zImage
excluding sbl.bin and boot.bin and named the file: "CODE_I9100XXKI3_CL577579_REV02_user_low_ship.tar". Same as before except removing the .md5
3) Flashed galaxy S2 with odin:
PDA = CODE_I9100XXKI3_CL577579_REV02_user_low_ship.tar (new file w/ sbl.bin and boot.bin removed and renameded w/o .md5),
PHONE = MODEM_I9100XXKI3_REV_02_CL1062028.tar.md5 (original from I9100XXKI3.rar),
CSC = GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKI3.tar.md5 (original from I9100XXKI3.rar),
No PIT file.
Flash fails when trying to load cache.img. See report below:

My phone now is soft bricked with the red android "Software update fail" and I must reflash with china flash to get it to work again. I'm really frustrated as I've had this phone for 6wks now and my S2 virtually worthless to me with china flash. I'd really appreciate anyone's help to debug this problem.
