Hi there. I install ICS (XXLPQ, CSC XOE) on my I9100, i root it and i dezinstall (with Titanium Backup) "TwDVFSApp 1.0”. what does TwDVFSApp 1.0?

When i make a call, noice reduction (zigzag logo) does not appear. What can i make to activate (appear logo/icon) noice reduction when i make/ receive a call?

Thank's
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diemadedrei:
When youre in the call (dialing does not work) press the menu button to activate or deactivate noise reduction. Probably it is already turned on because its default. I dont have an icon either but its on.

The app seems to have something to do with the touchwiz launcher...maybe someone else can get more into detail here.

Hi,

I've Ressurection Remix 9.7 installed... so far so good.

If I want to reinstall it again (I want to try some internal tweaking), do I need to do a full wipe and dalvik cache wipe again? or can I just run the install as it is?

I have everything backed up, I would just rather save the hassle of restoring.

Problems with Resurrection Remix ICS 9.7 install

Hi all, thank you for your help in advance.

I have looked around but can't seem to find the answer so I'm going to ask. I have today rooted my SGS2 for the first time. It was on Gingerbread 2.3.4 Kernel version I9100XWKI4. I rooted following the instructions here and all worked fine. Backed up everything I could including the /efs folder using the terminal emulator. So before the next step I am on a rooted stock I9100XWKI4 Kernel.

This was in preparation for installing the latest Resurrection Remix ICS 9.7 which I have installed using these instructions however when I followed these further instructions I can't install CWM.zip because the stock recovery cannot mount external storage.

How can I rectify this?

In addition when going to CWM in the menu it advises "this version of CWM is designed to work with CF-Root 5.0 or later, some functions have been disabled". I am confused on what I need to do now. I am assuming it's a kernel issue but not sure which one I need to install (I'm assuming I need to use Odin as CWM isn't accessible). I still have root as titanium backup still works.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taj Tanveer:
No, you dont need to do a full wipe. Resurrection Remix is a full-wipe rom, so if u install it, your phone will be automatically wiped. But u do have to wipe dalvik cache after installing it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HD_:
I dont really get your question, but if you would flash your ICS Rom again after a wipe you should probably get asked again to set APN. Maybe this Way you should bei able To configure them right.

Unfortunately, after custom upgrade of Android OS I can no longer use kies to automatically update to official firmwares. I know there's this trick with usb stick...

Anyway, my kernel is XXKH3 (modem version)

Does it mean I can only download firmwares that are supposed to work under this kernel version?

I can't, for example, upgrade to I9100DXLP7? Because it's incompatible with my smartphone, right?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
If you want only official ROM updates through Kies, then flash to a recent official ROM (either branded or unbranded) with Odin. When Kies has a newer version of the ROM you flashed, then it will update your phone and will update it for future updates.

Of course you will loose Root.

Personally I wouldn't bother as any new ROM will be uploaded to this site. There is also the advantage that on here you get leaked updates that fixes problems that you may have to wait months for official updates.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dramadeur:
Ok, right now the latest is some:

DXLP7
Firmware info
PDA:DXLP7
PHONE: DXLP7
Date: 10/03/2012
Android 4.0.3

Can I update to it even though my modem/kernel version doesn't match this firmware's? I always thought modem version/kernel version (in my case it's: XXKH3) mattered, and it wasn't ok to update to a firmware that has a different kernel version. Also, on some firmwares a country name is written, does it mean if I download a firmware for Indonesia I won't be able to use it in Russia? I have factory unlocked Galaxy S2 and want to be able to use it with any sim-card (any operator).

Does anyone has tested siyah v3.0b3 ?

With which rom does it work? Pradoxxxe's AOKP rom ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndnesh:
It is still beta, so you better stick with Samsung Stock!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
The only way to upgrade the firmware through Kies is to have an earlier version on your phone. For example, if I had T-Mobile UK GingerBread 2.34, then Kies would allow me to upgrade to T-Mobile UK Gingerbread 2.36. If I had Three Ireland GB 2.35 Kies would allow me now to upgrade to Three Ireland ICS (LPQ). I I had unbranded Western European 2.36, Kies would not be able to upgrade to the LP7 ICS version becasue it hasn't been released via Kies yet.

Some ROMs come with some languages built in. So your Indonesian ROM may have the option to change the language to Indian, English etc. This has nothing to do with which countries you want to use the phone in. You could have a ROM only availble with French, it would work fine in England, but would be of little use unless you could read French.

When I first got my phone (T-Mobile UK) I used Kies to upgrade the ROM to a newer version of T-Mobile UK. I used Odin to flash the unbranded European version. I then used Kies to update the firmware to a newer version. Later on I used Odin to flash the latest releases (not yet available through Kies). Kies could not update me after that.

Bootloaders and Jigs?

Help!

I would like to flash a 2.3.6 which is below this comment on the rom page:

"All packages below this point have the old bootloader so you can safely

reset the binary counter with a Jig. :)

If you've already flashed a full package from elsewhere or updated using

KIES and cannot reset your binary counter using the Jig just flash this

package in the PDA or Bootloader section of Odin to replace the bootloaders

and then you can reset the counter: GT-I9100_OLD_BOOTLOADER.7z

Here are the new bootloader tarball if you want to flash it back after

resetting your binary counter: GT-I9100_NEW_BOOTLOADER.7z"

My I9100 has this firmware, which I am told is stock (from Ebay seller).

PDA:I9100XWKH4

Phone/Baseband (modem): I9100XXKH3

CSC: I9100OXXKH2

Why would I need to reset the binary counter? Is that part of flashing?

What does this quote mean?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
If you ever need to send the phone in for warranty service, if you've been flashing custom roms/kernels the procedure goes something like this:-

1) Flash stock rom & factory reset

2) Reset flash counter with jig

Reason for resetting flash counter Samsung policy is to deny warranty service to any one/phone which has anything other than "no" & "Samsung Official" in download mode. The counter tells them whether you've flashed non-stock firmware on the phone which voids the warranty.

Resetting it normally means they can't tell you've done this, so most of the time (not always. If you flash non-stock firmware on your phone you're a fool if you expect warranty service) you'll still get warranty service if you need it.

If for whatever reason you've found yourself with the 'new' bootloader, the jig won't work unless you flash the old bootloader first. This is something you don't need to worry about at all unless you A) need warranty service & B) try to reset your flash counter & find your jig doesn't work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob010101:
You da man!

Excellent explanation, dude.

I fall into the category of not caring, since I assume Samsung wouldn't honor a warrentee on a pre-owned phone (no receipt from samsung or a carrier).

If I need to roll back, will odin do that automatically, or do I have to have that exact rom on my hard drive?

thanks again

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
Odin works by flashing a ROM you have downloaded to your pc. So if you want To flash any ROM then you need to download it. It is best to download the firmware that is on your phone before you start to flash other versions - so you can get back to where you started from if you don't like the new rom.

It is important to have a backup program, like Titainium, so you can quickly restore apps and setting, especially if the ROM wipes the phone.

The KH4 is a Frankenstein Firmware and not an official release, thus Kies cannot update it. See * HERE * for all stock ROMs
