Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE SHV-E110S Firmware (Flash File) Drivers, Tools & Guide
Flashing Samsung devices with Odin is a standard process once you understand the requirements. This guide provides the correct Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE SHV-E110S firmware, the appropriate Odin version, and the necessary setup steps.
Sign out of your Samsung account before beginning. If you skip this step, the Knox counter will trigger, and you will face a KG lock after flashing. Also, ensure you extract the firmware correctly; you should see files labeled AP_*, BL_*, CP_*, and CSC_* inside the extracted folder.
Only one firmware build is currently available for this device. This is the stock ROM used for recovery, unbricking, and bypassing FRP. Since the Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE SHV-E110S was released in 2011, installing drivers on Windows 10 or 11 may require manual installation rather than automatic detection. The stock firmware ships with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), upgradable to 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), which determines the default apps, security features, and interface you will see after flashing.
This page is updated with the latest firmware builds for the Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE SHV-E110S. The files are sourced from verified repositories and checked for integrity before being listed on this page.
Your Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE SHV-E110S firmware comes as a compressed ZIP file. Download and extract it using WinRAR or 7-Zip. After extracting, you should see files named like AP_*.tar.md5, BL_*.tar.md5, CP_*.tar.md5, and CSC_*.tar.md5 (or HOME_CSC_*.tar.md5). If you do not see these files, you may have the wrong firmware package for your device.
Be aware that flashing overwrites the entire software partition. Your data, apps, and accounts will all be removed. This full wipe is how the flash resolves deep software issues, anything from FRP locks and boot failures to Wi-Fi problems and app crashes.
Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE SHV-E110S Hard Reset Guide
Perform a hard reset on the Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE SHV-E110S by holding Volume Up and Power while the device is off. Use the volume keys to navigate to “Wipe Data/Factory Reset” and confirm with the Power button.

Choosing the Right Firmware Version
Selecting the correct firmware for the Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE SHV-E110S requires identifying your exact model number and region.
- Identify Your Exact Model Number: Go to Settings › About Phone and note your full model number (e.g. SHV-E110S). The letter suffix matters, U/U1 = USA, W = Canada, N = Korea, B/F = International/Global. Flashing firmware built for a different variant can cause issues.
- Match the CSC (Region): The 3-letter region code in the firmware filename must match your device. Check Settings › About Phone › Software Information for your current CSC, or look at the Service Provider line in Download Mode. Common codes: XAA (US), BTU (UK), INS (India), SER (Russia).
- Check the Binary Level: Look at the version string in your current firmware (e.g.
XXU9BZDP, the number after the letters is the binary level). You cannot downgrade to a lower binary level. If your device is on Binary 9, only flash Binary 9 or higher firmware. - Confirm the Build Date: The last 4 characters of the PDA version encode the build date, first character is the year (A=2024, B=2025, C=2026), second is the month (A=Jan through L=Dec).
- Verify in Download Mode: Power off, hold Volume Down + Power to enter Download Mode. This screen shows your exact model, CSC, and current firmware version, use this to confirm before flashing.

Which Firmware Version Should I Download?
Use the table below to identify which Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE SHV-E110S firmware file you need based on your current situation.
| Your Situation | What I Recommend |
|---|---|
| Phone is completely dead or stuck on logo | the latest version, download this one. It is the latest Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE SHV-E110S firmware available. |
| FRP / Google account lock only | See the FRP bypass guide above, you likely do not need the full firmware for this. |
| Not sure which region/CSC to download | Check Settings › About Phone › Software Information for your current CSC, or enter Download Mode (Volume Down + Power), it shows the CSC on screen. Match the 3-letter code (e.g. XAA, BTU, INS) to the firmware filename. |
| Phone slow after a recent OTA update | Try the next older version, sometimes the latest OTA introduces new bugs and an older build runs better. Make sure the binary level is the same or higher than what your device currently has. |
| IMEI missing after a previous flash | Re-flash the latest version first, then follow the IMEI repair guide. Do not skip the reflash. |
| the latest version failed with a flash error | Try the next older version instead and double-check your AP/BL/CP/CSC file assignments in Odin before assuming the firmware is the problem. |
| Restoring to factory / warranty repair | the latest version, clean state, fresh start. |
To tell which Samsung firmware is newer, look at the last 4 characters of the PDA version string (e.g. S938BXXU9CZDP). The first character is the year (A=2024, B=2025, C=2026), the second is the month (A=Jan, B=Feb… L=Dec, Z=final stable), and the last two are the revision (0-9 then A-Z, where Z is highest). But before comparing dates, always check the binary level: the digit just before the date code (e.g. XXU9CZDP = Binary 9). You cannot downgrade to a lower binary level. If your device is on Binary 9, only flash Binary 9 or higher. Also make sure the 3-letter CSC code in the firmware matches your device region.

- Go to Settings and verify your model is exactly SHV-E110S. Phones with similar names can have completely different hardware.
- The chipset in your device should be Qualcomm MSM8660 Snapdragon S3. If it is different, this firmware will not work.

What You Need Before Flashing Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE SHV-E110S
Go through this list before you open Odin for the Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE SHV-E110S. Two things that commonly cause problems with Samsung devices: a Samsung account that was not signed out before flashing, which can trigger KG lock, and a USB cable that works for charging but drops the connection mid-flash. Always use a proper data cable, not a charge-only cable.
- Record IMEI Before Flashing: Dial *#06# and save both IMEI numbers somewhere safe, a screenshot works. If flashing corrupts the baseband, these numbers are what you will need to restore cellular connectivity.
- Unlink Google Accounts: Go to Settings, then Accounts, and remove all Google accounts. This prevents Factory Reset Protection from activating after the flash. It is the single most skipped step and causes the most post-flash headaches.
- Remove Samsung Accounts: Sign out of all Samsung accounts to avoid KG lock.
- Full Data Backup: Flashing erases everything. Transfer your photos, contacts, app data, and any important files to your computer or cloud backup before starting.
- Charge the Battery: Make sure you have at least 50% charge. A dead battery during a flash can corrupt the system partition and turn a fixable problem into a much bigger one.
- Windows PC and USB Cable: You will need a Windows computer and a data-capable USB cable. Cheap charge-only cables are the number one reason flash tools fail to detect devices.
- Driver Installation:
Step-by-Step: Flash Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE SHV-E110S Stock ROM
We are using Odin for this. A quick tip: keep “Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time” both checked in Odin, those two options together give you the cleanest flash result. If you are not sure which Odin version to use, check our Odin versions page. Some older Samsung devices work better with older Odin builds.
- Download and Extract:
- Download the correct firmware package from the links above.
- Extract the ZIP to a simple folder path, avoid paths with spaces or special characters, as some flash tools have trouble with them.
- Install the Listed Drivers:
- Confirm all drivers listed above are installed and that your PC has been restarted since installation. Skipping the restart is a common reason drivers do not work correctly.
- Load the Firmware File:
- In Odin, click “BL” and select the BL_*.tar.md5 file. Click “AP” and select the AP_*.tar.md5 file. Repeat for “CP” and “CSC”. Use HOME_CSC to keep data, or CSC for a clean flash.
- Connect Your Device:
- Enter Download Mode: Turn off your phone, then hold Volume Down + Power (add Home button on older models) until the warning screen appears. Press Volume Up to confirm and enter Download Mode.
- Connect your phone to your PC via USB. Odin should show “Added..” in the log area, this means your device is detected.
- Start Flashing:
- Click the “Start” button to begin.
- Do not disconnect, move the cable, or touch the device until the process is fully complete. Disconnecting mid-flash is how devices get bricked.
- Wait and Reboot:
- Once flashing finishes successfully, disconnect the device.
- Power on your device. The first boot will take longer than usual, give it up to 8 minutes.

Normal Behavior After Installing Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE SHV-E110S Firmware
Here is what is completely normal after a successful flash:
- How to know the flash was successful: Odin will show “PASS.” in green text at the top-left of the log area. If you see this, everything went fine.
- All your apps are gone, this is expected. Reinstall them from the Play Store. If you had a Google account backup active, it will offer to restore your apps automatically during setup.
- Storage will show almost full capacity available since all your apps and files are gone. The system partition size varies by firmware version but is typically 4 to 8 GB on most devices.
- Fingerprint and face unlock data are erased during the flash. You will need to re-register your fingerprints and face data from scratch in the security settings.
- Be careful when re-adding your Google account, if you did not remove it before flashing, you may see an FRP prompt. Add it fresh during the setup wizard, not afterwards through Settings.
- First boot takes 3 to 8 minutes, do not force-reboot the device. The operating system is setting itself up from scratch. Interrupting this is how devices end up in bootloops.
- The phone may ask for language and region again, this is normal after a flash. You are starting from a clean state, so the setup wizard runs just like when the phone was brand new.
Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE SHV-E110S Flashing Problems and Fixes
- Odin Shows “FAIL” Instead of “PASS”:
- This is usually a mismatch between the firmware region or model and your device. Confirm your exact model number in Settings › About Phone before selecting the firmware. Even a single letter difference in the model code matters.
- Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE SHV-E110S Not Recognized by Odin:
- Reinstall the Samsung USB drivers. Make sure you are in Download Mode. Try a different USB cable, Odin can be sensitive to cable quality.
- KG Lock / Knox Triggered After Flashing:
- This happens when a Samsung account was still signed in before flashing, or when unofficial firmware was used. Always sign out of Samsung accounts before flashing. If KG lock is already active, a professional unlocking tool is generally needed.
- Boot Loop After Flashing:
- Enter recovery mode (Volume Up + Power) and perform a factory reset. This clears any leftover data from the previous firmware that may be causing the conflict.
Missing IMEI or Corrupt Baseband on Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE SHV-E110S After Flashing?
A missing IMEI on a Samsung device after flashing usually points to a corrupted EFS partition, this is the partition that stores your IMEI and carrier settings. Note that restoring an IMEI that is not your original number is illegal in most countries, so only do this if you are restoring the number the device had before you flashed. Tools like ChimeraTool or BFT can help with this. Check your local laws before proceeding.

Common Questions About Flashing Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE SHV-E110S
Q1: Can I flash this firmware if my phone does not turn on at all?
A: Yes, in most cases. Samsung devices can usually enter Download Mode even when the screen is completely dead, hold Volume Down + Power for 10 seconds. If the battery is completely drained, charge it for at least 15 minutes first.
Q2: Can I go back to an older firmware version?
A: It is technically possible on some Qualcomm builds, but downgrading can cause security issues and app compatibility problems. If the latest version is causing trouble, leave a comment below, there is usually a better fix than rolling back.
Q3: Is this firmware compatible with other Samsung models?
A: No. This firmware is built specifically for the Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE SHV-E110S running on the Qualcomm MSM8660 Snapdragon S3 chipset. Even variants of the Galaxy S II HD LTE with a different letter suffix can have a completely different chipset inside. Flashing the wrong firmware can leave your phone in a state that is very difficult to recover from. Always check your exact model number in Settings.
Q4: Can I use a Mac or Linux computer for this?
A: Samsung firmware can be flashed using Heimdall on Linux or Mac, but the instructions on this page are written for Odin on Windows. If you only have a Mac, you may want to use a Windows virtual machine or Boot Camp for the most straightforward experience.
Q5: Will flashing void my warranty?
A: Flashing official stock firmware generally does not void your warranty since you are restoring the device to its factory-intended state. However, some manufacturers may flag that the bootloader was unlocked or that the flash counter increased. Check your specific warranty terms with Samsung support if you are concerned.
Q6: Will flashing erase my data?
A: Yes, flashing with Odin restores the device to factory state, including Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), upgradable to 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) default settings. All apps, photos, contacts, and accounts will be removed. Back up everything you need before you start. There is no way to recover data once the flash is complete.
Q7: What if the flash fails halfway through?
A: Do not panic and do not disconnect the phone. Close Odin, restart it, and try the flash again from the beginning. In most cases, a failed flash just means the process needs to be repeated. The device is usually still detectable by the flash tool even after a failed attempt.
Q8: My IMEI shows “unknown” after flashing. Is my phone permanently damaged?
A: No, it looks alarming, but it is fixable. Follow the IMEI repair guide in the troubleshooting section above. For Samsung devices, check for EFS partition corruption first. Do not insert a SIM card until the IMEI is restored.
