Is the xxkg2 out on FUS servers (kies) or still "unconfirmed" official?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Sorry, it's was wrongly labelled. It is XEUKD1. My bad.:(

It's not on the FUS server and now I'm starting to wonder if I was given wrong info.
[Galaxy S II General] fajn.snek:
I check Kies six times a day, but KF2 is still up-tu date. I hoped they release it until weekend, but I dont expect that it does take so long :( :(
[Galaxy S II General] O4web:
Hmm my phone had VillainROM v1.4 + CF-root 4.0 and now I flashed my SGSII with I9100XXKF2.

However I am now stuck in a boot loop. Any ideas what could be the problem? I followed every step of the guide.

EDIT: OH! I did a factory reset and everything is ok :)
[Galaxy S II General] george101:
i have done everything upto SuperOneClick. It just gets stuck when i click root and an adb.exe command window is open

tried using SuperOneClickv1.9.5-ShortFuse.Drivers.rar
[Galaxy S II General] mmmmbeer:

I'm less than impressed with xxkg2 anyway. Seems to be quite buggy. App shortcuts disappear frequently and the contacts tab fails to open contacts sometimes or when it does the contacts are missing. Not all the time but it never happened with any 2.3.3 firmwares I tried. My favourite contact widgets have just reset themselves for the third time too.

What's the best way to revert to a clean 2.3.3 setup without losing data or is a wipe unavoidable?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
You've flashed an insecure kernel and USB debugging is enabled?
[Galaxy S II General] mbevc1:
Do you mean stock XXKG2? really? frankenstein version? :o
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Not experiencing these issues but anyway do a backup of user apps and settings with Titanium Backup. Don't backup system apps and settings. Move backup to PC or external SDCARD. Flash 2.3.3 firmware, hard reset after booting, root, install titanium backup and put backup files in backup folder and restore user apps and settings.
[Galaxy S II General] mach0boi:
Anyone here using a stock kg2 rom can help me? I just need the logsprovider.apk badly and wants someone to upload it.. I will include you in my prayers if you do.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Edit, wait which KG2 firmware version?
[Galaxy S II General] mach0boi:
Thanks mate. To what firmware did u get this? I love you! (no homo)
[Galaxy S II General] mach0boi:
XXKG2

10 chars
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Ok, hold on a second. Cheers for the no homo tag. :D
[Galaxy S II General] mach0boi:
Is the file right?

Edit:

Ok waiting. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Here, it's attached.
[Galaxy S II General] mach0boi:
Thank you again! XXKG2 right? I appreciate it :)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yes......................
[Galaxy S II General] mmmmbeer:
I'm not rooted and don't want to so I use MyBackup pro. The same deal with that?

Maybe I'll hard reset using xxkg2 and see if that helps first.
[Galaxy S II General] mmmmbeer:
Frankenstein XXKG2
[Galaxy S II General] maranello69:
My Backup Pro only backups the apk file if u'r not rooted, so you will lose all the saved data and settings, its a big difference between Titanium & all the other non-root backup tools

Questions: By flashing one of these roms via Odin, let's say KF3, will i loose all my settings & data files, or does it act like Kies in this situation?
[Galaxy S II General] bluebart:
Dam, i hard reset phone and flashed CSC XEUKD1 and still get info from KIES that my device can not be updated :/

its showing in KIES:

PDA: KE7

PHONE: KE4

CSC: KD1 (VDI)

I dont wont to back to stock Vodafone IRL Firmware, its take months before they release update.

any ideas how to get KIES working and recognise my phone correct?

EDIT:

before flashin XUEKD1 CSC there was VDI in PC to install, now is XEU but when i press INSTALL it do nothing :/

show message: "Must be Three chars" and thats it.
[Galaxy S II General] mmmmbeer:
Not too bothered about app settings. Don't really have any apps that are set up in specific ways that I need to keep.

The main thing is want to keep are system and android settings so I don't have to set up home screens,ringtones etc. Using these settings from 2.3.3 might be causing my problems on 2.3.4 though, I don't know
[Galaxy S II General] IceBlade2005:
Sorry in advance if this is a stooopid question, but ive got a new sgs2, (coming from an HD2 with WP7 so please be gentle)

I would like to root my phone but i cant make head nor tail of the guide as i dont know much about android (but im learning)

Just wondered if someone could advise me on what bits to download as i dont want to wreck it........

My phone says:-

Model GT-I9100

Android version 2.3.3

Baseband version I9100XXKE4

Kernel version 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE7-CL215725root@DELL103 #2

Build Number GINGERBREAD.XWKE7

i cant find any numbers corresponding to these in the guide so im kinda wondering what to do next, if someone could point me in the right direction that would be great

thanks
[Galaxy S II General] Somel:
Same problem for me with rom from vodafone IRL
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
This is good. Now hard reset the device and it should be XEU, if not then flash full XWKF3 XEU firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] bluebart:
@Intratech

you are my god :D

KIES working now. Update to KF3 run now :D

THX again

Hi, i am using KF2 right now.. can someone tell me if android 2.3.4 has better battery consumption than KF2? i moved from KE7 to KF2 and the batter has improved alot. i am afraid that if i move to KG2 or KG1 the battery wont last much longer.. can anyone confirm this please and also suggest me which one among KG2 and KG1 is better? thanx

Edit: Will upgrading to 2.3.4 wipe my data and installed apps?
[Galaxy S II General] hotsync100:
Your version kernel is KE7.

[Galaxy S II General] omar.abbas:

[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
In my experience upgrade to 2.3.4 is definitely worth it. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
You could always ask Intratech to get you the separate files.
[Galaxy S II General] Gold_Bishop:
Hi there,

I am sorry to say this but coming from a HTC with no knowledge on how to root the Samsung the guide does not really feel quite convenient.

e.g. the whole bunch of firmware types (XWKDD, XWKE1, ...) are just mentioned but not where to easily check those on your phone when you are new to the brand.

I would be great if you could adopt the guide more towards newbies like me with an easy step by step walkthrough (1st check your firmware, if it is xyz download x, and so on...)

I know it's all in there somewhere, but not to access easily if you are quite new.

So all I am asking is for a little better outer structure of the guide.

Anyhow. Thanks for all your great work and support so far!

All the best

Well, confirmed.... flashed from KG1 (2.3.3) to KG2 frankenstein and got problems all around. Email app stopped working. Missing Slovene keyboard and Swype. Keyboard ang settings keeps crashing. Moved back tp KG1. Maybe this happened becouse I did not do factory reset after upgrade?? When I was upgrading thru 2.3.3 releases I never had to do fastory reset...
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
The firmware are self-contained and don't depend on an existing firmware version on the device. As for the Kernel version to match the firmware version, well the kernels are listed right under the firmware link so common sense will tell you which kernel is for which firmware.

Anyway, it's pretty simple to check the firmware details. Input *#1234# in the dialpad. If you aren't that familiar with Samsung device I would suggest you read a bit more and get some idea of what you are dealing with before attempting to flash the device.
[Galaxy S II General] richyy74:
I flashed to xxkg2 from kf2. Not a single FC all apps and settings intact. I used the non wipe single file firmware and flashed over Csc after first boot.
[Galaxy S II General] mbevc1:
Interesting... FC? everything is working ok? mail, messaging?
[Galaxy S II General] desgrassia:

[Galaxy S II General] DHARQAXIAN:
I must be doing something really wrong as I keep getting "Waiting for device" which NEVER happens and this message

SuperOneClick v1.9.5.0

Checking drivers...

* server not running *

OK

Starting ADB Server...

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

Waiting for device...

OK

Getting OS Version...

Exception of type 'System.Exception' was thrown.

FAILED

Then I'm asked if my OS is Version 2 or higher.

So I done a factory Reset and wiped EVERYTHING..., wiped Delvik Cache and rebooted the device. Started again from the top of the guide, same thing. Were am I going wrong?
[Galaxy S II General] Cladon:
Is this version official or leaked?
[Galaxy S II General] serch826:
Done the XXKG3 Firmware update, with the one from Samfirmware and everythings is Ok, will see if there is any bugs
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I've placed it in the Frankenstein section because it's not official. I'm thinking of moving the XXKG2 there as well.
[Galaxy S II General] Cladon:
I'll wait for your opinion Intratech,after you'll get the time to test this version,to say if it's worth flashing it from the current XXKF2 version I'm running now!

Thank you for the great job you are doing here!
[Galaxy S II General] LeWildDroid:
You're still on KF2? KG versions (both 1 & 2) are better in many people opinion :D Hope to hear same from KG3 now ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Cladon:
Yes, I'm still on KF2 as I see on this forum that KG (both 1 & 2) are quite buggy while XXKF2 version is running smoothly with the best battery life I had so far! ;)
[Galaxy S II General] sicopat:

[Galaxy S II General] LeWildDroid:
For me, going for KG versions was like going from junk food to eco food :D The battery is also better. I get 2 days with medium usage so you do the math :p
[Galaxy S II General] Cladon:
I made it to 3 days and 4 hours on medium usage with XXKF2 :)
[Galaxy S II General] DHARQAXIAN:
There is nothing in the guide that says how long I'm suppose to wait,

"8. Click root and wait for it to finish. Install Busybox and all that good stuff."

it's 15mins already...., is this meant to happen?
[Galaxy S II General] ManMOuntain:
Any noticeable improvements with KG3? I'm hesitant to change from KG2 2.3.4 as my SGS2 is running exceptionally well.
[Galaxy S II General] mbevc1:
Interesting :) Any news from upgraders? :) anything new/better? Is there going to be XW version avaliable if anyone has any (info)?
[Galaxy S II General] mbevc1:
One more thing...why are on samfirmware always two same copies of last firmware? :)
[Galaxy S II General] fajn.snek:
I hope KG3 will be avaliable via Kies soon, if the did not release KG2 via Kies, they may be fixed some bugs...
[Galaxy S II General] nightranger73:
ATM they're both leaked firmware
[Galaxy S II General] mmmmbeer:
I decided to stick with 2.3.4 and see how it goes after a hard reset. I did a hard reset, flashed XXKG2 again and hard reset again. So far so good. None of the previous issues have surfaced over a day of usage
[Galaxy S II General] serch826:
After more than one hour there isn´t any prob, have tested many apps, like, Navigon, Facebok, Dreamdroid, the battery is fine and Wifi too.
[Galaxy S II General] tygoger:
Running it now. Looks good! No changes notable with KG2. Wifi, Battery, Phone etc etc seems fine.

I don't know, but at least the first in the list is corrupted. I downloaded the file 2 times and was unable to see the contents via 7Zip.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Hmm... strange, worked perfectly fine for me here. Maybe a little slow downloading from hotfile, but opened and extracted fine.

Transmitted from a Galaxy far far away via XDA telepathy.
[Galaxy S II General] zamana:
Maybe hotfile doesn't like FreeDownloadManager...

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Yeah, I wouldn't use download managers with sites like hotfile. I find that most of the time you will get corrupted downloads.

Transmitted from a Galaxy far far away via XDA telepathy.
[Galaxy S II General] hihihehe:
will it wipe all the data from KG2 to KG3?
[Galaxy S II General] serch826:
If you flash the one from Samfirmware.com yes, the one from Frankestein section says dont do that, but there isn´t any problem with the one from samfirmware, just make a backup with Titanium or your apps can be reinstalled automatically after flashing the XXKG3, you must Root again.

How to Get the Stock Kernel (zImage) from I9100?

A stupid question to ask, how could we copy stock kernel (zImage) out from the device like intratech did?

I crawled many articles, seems no straight answer there... I finally come up with the following commands:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/sdcard/zImage bs=4096

cd /sdcard

tar -c zImage > kernel.tar

cp kernel.tar kernel.tar.md5

md5sum -t kernel.tar.md5 >> kernel.tar.md5

However, I could not get it without rooting my phone. And if I root it, I have to use a patched kernel, which means it is already not original. So, how could I get the stock kernel?

And I tried to use CheckFusDownloader to download the update file from Samsung, and seems that the size of zImage is smaller (<5MB) Could I use this zImage as the stock kernel?

I have already tried my best to find out the answer, it is highly appreciated that if someone could point me a direction. Thank you very much in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] mach0boi:
If it is a .tar file, you can just extract it like a .zip file. I dont know about .md5.

And AFAIK, kernel in this thread gives you .tar file extension. But iv tried to download stock kernel here a long time ago maybe intratech changed the file format :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] Davith:
What happens if you flash this over the original OXA CSC KG2 firmware (not the Frankenstein XEU one)?

Won't flashing your no wipe version over it still wipe everything as the CSC is different?
[Galaxy S II General] belton:
I should clarify my question. I mean I wanna know how to copy the zImage out from the device. (But not decompress the file)

In other words, how did intratech prepare those stock kernels?
[Galaxy S II General] Akerfeldt:
Same problem here (with debug mode off), just keeps showing "connecting...", any solutions for this issue? Thks

Ok, so I'm having bad battery issues now.

Since flashing to KG2, apps & processes I don't use are eating away at the battery percentage (checked with Where's My Droid the individual apps using battery).

I'm perhaps getting the worst battery life yet.

I've done a factory reset which didn't help.

Should I reflash, but this time with a full wipe?

Also, any problem with me upgrading to the Frankenstien XXKG3? I'm rooted and can backup data via TIB and do a Nandriod backup via CWM to get back if necessary. Anybody see any flaws in my plan?

Thanks

Oh, and I'm assuming since I'm going to 2.3.4 from 2.3.3 I shoud do a complete wipe?

Thanks again.

im new to SGS2 phone. just got it a week ago. Just wondering will this work for any version of the phone?

my will be:

Android version:2.3.3 (should i root my phone before i can update to 2.3.4??)

PDA: I9100DXKF1

PHONE:I9100DXKF1

CSC:I9100OLBKE5

and what does it means by these numbers and how do i know my version number?? KF1 KF2 KF3, KE1 KE2...etc.

i read that we need to download the correct version base on our phone version. like for my case i should search for version with KF1 and KE5?

after root, can i change to other custom rom like villian? lighting? since my base version was Kernel

please guide
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:

[Galaxy S II General] Cladon:
Those numbers (letters) mean as it follows:

[Galaxy S II General] gspears:
Thank you very much. Are you putting just the TPA CSC in the Frankenstien section or the entire set in the first section? Can I just flash XXKG3 then this CSC? Or will it probably be fine with the CSC that's already included with XXKG3?

Plus I noticed that Chainfire doesn't have a root kernel for KG3 yet, or am I missing something?

MultiCSC OXXKE2:http://www.multiupload.com/JHNIBOV98S

MultiCSC OXXKF1: http://www.multiupload.com/SOIZV54480

Are there any reason to choose the older (KE2)? And will flashing this and rooting cause limitations when the next official NEE ROM is released?
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Don't think so, go for the newer one. In this case, newer should mean better.

Also rooting is not going to give you any limititation with regrads to upgrading in the future.
[Galaxy S II General] jenskristian:
How exactly to I use

This package has: PDA:XXKG3| PHONE: XXKG3| CSC:XEUKD1

Download: http://www.multiupload.com/G3X5DJSUBK

and

MultiCSC OXXKF1: http://www.multiupload.com/SOIZV54480

to flash with Odin? Do I load Frankenstein_GT-I9100_I9100XXKG3_I9100XEUKD1_I9100XXKG3.tar in PDA and CSC_I9100OXXKF1.tar in CSC in Odin and just click start? Or to I have to copy the files from the CSC (cache.img, hidden.img) over to Frankenstein_GT-I9100_I9100XXKG3_I9100XEUKD1_I9100XXKG3.tar to overwrite the files currently there?
[Galaxy S II General] serch826:
I don´t see any problem with the PDA:XXKG3| PHONE: XXKG3| CSC:XEUKD1, that will work fine for you, so no need to flash CSC in my opinion.
[Galaxy S II General] jenskristian:
So all I need to do is flash Frankenstein_GT-I9100_I9100XXKG3_I9100XEUKD1_I9100XXKG3.tar, then do all the rooting? And no data will be lost?
