Default Model: GT-i9100, SSN: i9100GSMH, soft brick??

Hi All,

Noob here with what I think is a soft brick issue.

Under the battery it says Model: GT-i9100, SSN: i9100GSMH
Originally Gingerbread, then I upgraded to 4.03 via official Kies firmware release.
Couple of days ago tried to upgrade to 4.04 using ODIN and got a fail at factoryfs.img. probably used the wrong firmware.
Could still get into download mode at that stage, but can't anymore. I tried to install a couple of different firmware versions of 4.04. I can still get 'added' when I connect to ODIN though.

Can somebody please help me to upgrade to either 4.04 or Jellybean? I'm willing to go fully custom, just don't know how to do it....Can I do it with ODIN? Do i need a new kernel or pit or something?

Thanks heaps, look forward to any help.

Cheers,
Jackson

He does NOT have the I9100G model.

If he had the I9100G model, it would say:

Model no: GT-i9100G
SSN: i9100GGSMH
I never wanted to have a signature, but it seems I must. Please do not PM me directly for technical support. I mean it! No exceptions! Thank you.

Are your asking about his phone, or your own?

This has been answered multiple times in multiple threads. It will say "GT-I9100G" as model number if it is a G model. Otherwise it will only say "GT-I9100".
