Question about up/down grade?

Hey -- I've got a question. I've looked through some answers but not 100% on them.

I'm using SGS2 and had some upgrade troubles. Kies upgraded my phone to ICS but then I've ended up putting on a different firmware.

I bought the phone in Hong Kong (basic GT-9100) when I was living in Asia, but now I'm in the UK using 02. Should I flash the O2 Rom for ICS or not?

The version of ICS I have now -- LP8 / LPS I put on because it was the newest. But it seems buggy in that there are different problems that keep popping up. Crashes, et cetera. Also, Kies won't recognise the phone anymore as well.

So I guess the questions are:

1. Which version of the firmware should I go onto? I'm really confused about this.

2. Will it matter? If I find the right version will it be equally buggy?

Thanks,

-N
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
You do not need an O2 ROM - that would be carrier branded with some O2 boatware apps.

I have also XWLP8 (Frankenstein version from post #4) and no issues.

Maybe you should flash the ROM again and wipe cache partition in recovery mode (press Volume UP + Home + Power button as long as the recovery menu appears) after flashing.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II General] obionenairobi:
does anybody have any experience with the XWLP8 compaired to XWLP7 ?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Yes ... me.

Just have a look at my test results => http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25711573&postcount=303

I test stock kernels on the corresponding ROM, so XWLP7 means stock XWLP7 ROM with stock XWLP7 kernel.

And XWLP8 = stock XWLP8 ROM with stock XWLP8 kernel.

@Intratech, when will you release Singapore ICS - DXLP9?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
If you have flashed a stock ROM, which is officially released for your region by Samsung, and you have the correct CSC for your region (you can check it by dialing *#1234# into your phone), Kies should recognize your phone again.

Which stock ROM have your flashed?

You are for which region/country?

What exactly are your current firmware information (kernel, modem, CSC)?

Have you changed/flashed another bootloader?

If everything is correct, you may have to uninstall Kies and re-install it.

Then close any other applications (such as Odin), start Kies and connect your phone via USB cable to your PC.

Does the phone show a special USB/connection information, such as "connecting with Kies" or "connected in mass storage mode"?

I'm having a weird problem in ICS for India. Whenever I try to change a wallpaper, either Lockscreen wallpaper or home screen wallpaper, when I click on set as wallpaper and then it comes to the screen where I have to click on "Save", the app crashes. I cannot change the homescreen or lockscreen wallpaper. Help appreciated! TIA!
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Try to wipe cache partition in recovery mode (press Volume UP + Home + Power button as long as the recovery menu appears).

If you have CWM recovery, wipe Dalvik cache too.

Maybe that can help.

Good luck !

no wipe ITV-CSC

Hello,

I've got some problems since I havent' the correct CSC for my network anymore. I'd like to flash one of Intratech's ITV CSC packs, but I've got two questions:

- The CSC packs on the opening page are from GB ROMs. Do they even work with ICS? Looking into and comparing them with root explorer it seems, there are some changes in the directory/file pattern in ICS.

- Are they non-wipe flashable with Mobile Odin Pro?
[Galaxy S II General] sayem_unlimited:
"2D hardware acceleration in application" is off by default in my case.

I've installed both new "3D Gallery" and the old Gallery app installed.

But my problem is I can't set Lock Screen Wallpaper if i uninstall old 'Gallery 1.1.30682' app. And in the same time i don't want to keep both Gallery apps.

Any suggestions, what to do?

Flash XWLP7 from post #3 or XWLP8 from post #4.

After flashing the ROM, you may have to do a factory reset.

I only had to wipe cache in recovery.

Then you can flash the custom kernel you want ... SpeedMod K3-16 will work fine.
[Galaxy S II General] mbevc1:

2. If it does not help, flash another kernel, such as SpeedMod K3-16 or Phenomenal 5.3.

3. If phone is still getting hot, wipe cache and Dalvik cache in recovery.

Good luck !

has been released :)
[Galaxy S II General] mbutandola:
Hi It_ler,

Haven't been around for some time and I've lost touch with flashing and stuff.

I'd like to have my first go at ICS as I've heard that the latest releases have been a great improvement over gingerbread. As you do a lot of testing, which combination would recommend knowing that I leave in France and would like to keep my phone rooted.

Running Hyperdroid at the moment but would like to try out some ICS until the devs at Hyperdroid release an ICS based rom.

If anyone else wanna help it would be highly appreciated.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Hmm ... difficult to say what will be a good combination (ROM + kernel) for your phone.

I only state what is a good combination on my phone with my "normal" usage:

Phenomenal 5.1 Extreme and 5.3 Extreme are working very well on my XWLP8 Frankenstein ROM.

5.1 has a little bit better battery life, but 5.3 is a little bit smoother on my phone.

So, I recommend you to choose a stable and resent ROM as base first, such as XWLP7 or XWLP8 => my choice is XWLP8 (from this thread, Frankenstein Firmwares).

Then root by flashing a rooted/custom kernel you like/is stable and good on your phone with your "normal" usage => my choice is the latest Phenomenal Extreme version, as it is stable and smooth on my phone with excellent battery life.

But you have to try it on your phone under your conditions to proof.

Maybe you will find another combination (ROM + kernel) performing better on your phone.

P.S.:

With highly customizable kernels, such as N.E.A.K. and Siyah, you will have to adapt many settings (such as UV by settings in config apps or using scripts) and invest some time to optimize.

After that, these kernels could/will be better as they are individually adapted to your needs and your phone's capabilities.

As I am lazy, I want the kernel to be "good" by default => out-of-the box.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II General] mbutandola:
Thanks. I'm like you. I like things to work out of the box :).

Will try phenomenal with lp8. Cheers.
[Galaxy S II General] redzion:

[Galaxy S II General] mbevc1:

[Galaxy S II General] redzion:
Great..

I heard that for Slovenia ROM was published but for devices with NFC support, for non-NFC will come soon.. is this firmware with NFC included?

Do you know, is NFC build in battery or somehow other way?

Becouse if NFC is build into battery then would be great to know which battery this is so that we could upgrade SGS2 to support NFC..

tnx for answers..
[Galaxy S II General] mbevc1:
True it is for 9100P, but if I am not wrong you can put it also on non NFC device...

I do not believe it is just a battey :)

Big company (5K+ employees). Externally facilitated infrastructure. It just can't be done. It's a policy set in stone and not by just one cowboy admin.

Yes, I've googled and found others with the same problem using ICS on SGS2.

All it takes to see the problem is to try saving a static IP/DNS. Works in GB, but not in ICS.

Thanks anyway for trying to help.
[Galaxy S II General] pawmadsen:
Sorry to hear that. Have you tried a 4.0.4 aosp version?

[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Maybe the CSC is not compatible with your ROM.

If you can boot into download mode, flash the stock kernel again.

Then try to reboot normally and check the current CSC.

If it is "unknown", just try to flash another CSC file.

Try to use a ICS CSC file for an ICS ROM, and a GB CSC file for an GB ROM.

If nothing helps, try to flash the whole ROM again.

Good luck !

Just do the following:

You will need the tar file, which contains all parts including the CSC.

2. Open the ROM tar file (e.g. with 7zip).

Remove everything except "cache.img" and "hidden.img".

These two files are the CSC part.

3. Flash the tar file via CSC section of Odin or use Mobile Odin app from Chainfire.

Baseband version: i9100XXLPS

Kernel version: 3.0.15-i9100XWLP7-CL340913 dpi@DELL134 #3

Build number: IML74K.XWLP7

Just in case something not good happens after rooting I still can get back to this version. :D
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
You are already on XWLP7.

What do you want to flash?

Or only rooting?

I recommend CF-Root kernel from Chainfire => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399&highlight=CF+Root

In post #8 you will find "CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip".

That will root your phone.

After flashing CF-Root kernel, use TriangleAway app (also from Chainfire) to get rid of the yellow triangle and rest the counter.

You will have CWM recovery and will be able to make a complete system (nandroid) backup in CWM recovery or by using CWM Manager app, which is automatically installed after flashing CF-Root kernel.

Good luck !

[Galaxy S II General] Dextrosan:
Hi Intratech,

I would like to ask some stuff related to CSC. I have come from the HTC camp where things are handled differently so I am a bit confused now. My Galaxy S II was bought in official Czech distribution and the CSC is XEZ. Nevertheless when I type *#272*Device IMEI# I can choose from as many CSC packages as there are in your Frankenstein build. Does this mean that the original XWKE2 firmware contains all these CSC packages?

Also if I wanted to RMA my Galaxy S II do I have to flash stock XEZ firmware (which is unfortunately not available in your post) or could I go for your Frankenstein build? If I had to flash stock XEZ, would you be so kind to upload this firmware as well?

Thank you for your input and effort.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yes, some devices come with a multiCSC package and you can change between these CSC. The multiCSC package I uploaded was repackaged from the Nordic firmware.

You can flash the XWKE2 with the OXXKE2 CSC since this would be the stock firmware for your device.
