Wow awesome. Getting chilles from excitedness. :rolleyes:

One last question. This is the official samsung rom that I downloaded so I do not need to reflash stock again when taking phone in or do I need to anyway as this update has not been pushed via kies?
[Galaxy S II General] mbevc1:
probably :) but also new shiny 2.3.5 android ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Rinoko72:
You can put them both in Odin at the same time, just make sure you put them in the correct place in Odin.. ;)

If I'm right, you should NOT get a yellow triangle on reboot which means your running stock, so you should be good to go, but I'm not sure what would happen if you had to return your phone in, and there is a "poland" rom on it.

It might ba a good idea to have a copy of the orginal FW on your pc, just in case, which can reflash, IF you have to take your phone in :)

Good luck :D

[Galaxy S II General] 1edge1:
Thanks I just did that and now I have csc unknown?what now?oooops

Also I keep getting mtp connected and mtp utilization
[Galaxy S II General] Nepyk:
Maybe someone could give a clue. And as I under stand in oder to to have my native language I should flash csc but which is right for Lithuania, The Baltic State in EU.
[Galaxy S II General] mbevc1:
That is correct. If you're using stock(includes frankenstein) you're clear - no triangle. About warranty it depends...mostly they will check custom counter...

---------- Post added at 10:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 AM ----------

No need for CSC using you language. Languages are in region FWs, like XW or XX.
[Galaxy S II General] Nepyk:
A so :). And csc is for what then?
[Galaxy S II General] Rinoko72:
Hmm, That's strange.. :confused: Did you download the correct CSC file from post 3, unzip it then put it in the CSC part of odin like Intratech wrote on the first page?

If the CSC is unknown you could try flashing that on its own and see if that helps.. :)
[Galaxy S II General] mbevc1:
operator specific settings...

Sorry for questions but how to now which csc is siutable for me and which is in KI8 firmware
[Galaxy S II General] fgar82:
Cant read Brazilian PT :(
[Galaxy S II General] 1edge1:
okay reflashed and the same error

CSC :unknown

Edit:Scratch that. It worked after a reboot for the second time.

Well guess I can't update via kies anymore. Says it an unofficial update

YOU GUYS ROCK.
[Galaxy S II General] melorib:
I cannot ODIN, first time no driver, restarted and connected USB, it loaded the driver and showed the SDcard, tried daownload mode again, nothing, didnt ask for driver but didnt show COM port...

[Galaxy S II General] akbarhash:
Yes got it. First just instal the ki8 package either the Frankenstein version our the official one.

Short flash and wipe.

Depending on your language it will stay or not. If you are in Europe it will stay. Arabic is diff issue.

[Galaxy S II General] Nepyk:
Hi

I flash KI8 and now Kies says what i can't update. Is it normal because I thought it is stock firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] akbarhash:
Very Normal After flashing unofficial rom have to go back to the rom that you were on for your regin to update with kies.

Anyways kies sucks all hail intratech.

HAIL.
[Galaxy S II General] Nepyk:
So if I what to get back to stock I should flash KI3? Because it was before flashing KI8
[Galaxy S II General] mbevc1:
well almost everyone...unless you change region completely ;) KI8 frankenstein has XEUKH2 i believe...
[Galaxy S II General] Mastermnd:
KI8 is stock but it's leaked, which means it's not been officially released in all regions yet, which causes KIES to not recognize it as valid.

No need to go back to another firmware unless there's something about KI8 you don't like. Here in europe, the last firmware offered by KIES itself was KI4.
[Galaxy S II General] akbarhash:
Did you flash ki3 or got it from kies.

If from kies then yes.

Otherwise further back.

Actually ki8 is stock. Maybe when you feel like going back to kies then ki8 releases for your area then you won't have to go back.
[Galaxy S II General] vodanhdaisu:
Any feedback for KI8 ??
[Galaxy S II General] Nepyk:
Thanks I understood. I would like to know if I do factory reset would it change my fireware?
[Galaxy S II General] jartukovic:
I have two questions and if someone ca answer me i would be gratefull

1 - If someone knows which one of these Multi CSC files from the third post contains sattings for Croatia ? I cant recognize which code is for croatia if there is any.

2 - How to brak apart one full upgrade (provider branded) .tar file containing modem, kernel, firmware, csc.....etc. into separate .tar files (modem.tar, csc.tar, kernel.tar)

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] nkiwi:
Nope. It just clears the app / system data, return to the origin state of the current firmware...

[Galaxy S II General] akbarhash:
Nothing too radically different a slightly polished version of ki3.

I don't understand,

1. if you don't want the Brazilian version and want the European version you have to flash the complete package.(eg. xwki8)

2. Which csc do you want if you specify that then maybe i can help.

---------- Post added at 03:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 PM ----------

1. I don't know which one is for croatia and I am sure you have searched, maybe someone who knows can answer, anyone would be otherwise guessing.

2. There are many files in the ROM package if you don't want all of them then you can download the package.Then delete the files you don't want using 7zip.

Open the archive using 7zip and select the files you don't require then right click and delete.

csc is hidden + cache.

I did it and it worked(was trying to flash csc from another ROM).

I am not responsible if then you cause any problems to your phone.

Always keep backup of the the ROM somewhere if anything goes wrong.
[Galaxy S II General] timberwolf60:
I used csc: I9100OXAKI3, used "csc select" changed to XEU and my system will be full wipe. Fellow restored back all my program with data, voila done. For changing of new ROM, I prefer full wipe so my system will be clean and healthy.
[Galaxy S II General] DarkNiz:
There is/was no need to flash a different CSC. I installed XXKI3 (I'm also from SA) and it works perfectly.
[Galaxy S II General] jartukovic:
So

CSC is ("hidden" and "cache")

Kernel is ("Zimage")

Bootloader is ("Sbl.bin")

Modem is ("modem.bin")

If these from the above are correct i have left with "boot.bin", "factoryfs.img" and "param.lfs"

one of them (factoryfs) or combination of them are PDA firmware but i'm not sure, does someone knows ?

Thx
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
If you want to stay in the Kies route, just flash the official firmware from your country and wait till Kies says there is an update, this thread are for those who don't care to use Kies and still have the latest firmware, most times before it's on the Kies server

There is no point to flashing firmware from this thread and then running back to Kies.
[Galaxy S II General] timberwolf60:
Because KI8 don't have separate package, so I flashed the full package with CSCxeu none wipe version. then I flash only modem and CSC fron KI3, change CSC to XEU and wipe my phone. After I flashed with speedmod T41 root kernel. it came with CWM 4.0.1.4 with activated by three buttons to recover mode. So I used CF CWM.apk copy into System\app so it will worked like CF-root. It was fast and smooth. SU will auto update from market to 3.02 and never have problem with Titanium backup. Waiting for Sicopat KI8 ROM to come.

O lucky you. Which version do you have the Mtn unbranded, vodafone or cellc. I got it to work by flashing the csc OJVKF3 only after flashing the KI3 and now everything works again.
[Galaxy S II General] Nepyk:
When you flash new firmware do you wipe dalvik cache? Why?
[Galaxy S II General] StevenBX:
I'm a bit confused about the Frankenstein packages - are they all generally non-wipe (unless noted otherwise)? I'm on KI3 and want to flash KI8, but want a non-wipe version. Is the Frankenstein KI8 wipe or non-wipe?
[Galaxy S II General] Rinoko72:
If you read though the first post, Intratech has written that everything is non-wipe, if not stated other wise..

XWKI8 is non-wipe.. ;)

Can anyone make this one availble to be downloaded? I am more interested in the modem. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] adam1741:
flashing the stock xxki3 kernel is wiping my phone. it says in the instructions that it shouldnt. well i flashed the kernel. and it rebooted everything worked okay. than i shut it off and put into download mode that i rooted using CF-root for the ki3 kernel and it booted worked good but with yellow triangle. so when i went to flash the stock kernel again, it wiped the root tools. i followed the instructions to the letter. what am i doing wrong?
[Galaxy S II General] leo13aug79:
In the procedure mentioned for removal of yellow triangle, they mentioned the zImage of the root kernel so make sure, u r using zImage of that kernel not the original's. Hopefully it'll help.

Hey, I'm trying All weekend to get this right. I was on 2.3.3 BUKE5 with Czech Vodafone, and on Friday I got update to 2.3.5 BUKI3 - tbut this update had two parts and the second one did not went correctly so I got stuck in the black screen with only white logo on it. I found your thread and I downloaded all three FW, that are posted in the first post BUKE1, BUKE5 and BUKG2. I tried the BUKE5 but I thoguht (do not know why) that it is not the sameI had previousy - Ithought too much apps from Samsung. So i flashed BUKE1, and get a bootloop. After few tries with other FWs and agan the same one I wiped data and cache from recovery and I managed to get he BUKE1. So happilly I updated to BUKE5 with OTA and again tried to update to 2.3.5 BUKEi3, but this upate ended at 14% and rebooted, telling me to try KIES. But my Kies are not able to get mine FW version. When I type *#1234# I get the CSC unknown. As I found i this thread, I should clear cache and wipe again and reflash. I did, several times, all three FWs but still the same result. When enter recovery mode and also when I do the wipe - I got mentioned error

-- Appling Multi-CSC...

Well, unless you want to backup everything you got on your phone right now then you don't need to be rooted to roll back.

Hi all,

I'm from India and I've installed Frankenstein KI8 firmware seeing the benefits that 2.3.5 has over 2.3.3.

Now I think the CSC is from UK, after installing KI8, I got the following new softwares installed :

1. BBC Iplayer

2. Music Hub

3. Suggestions : If I open this, it goes to UK samsung site.

Now I do not see any problems with these three new software. I've some questions:

1. What is hidden.img that gets installed ? Odin shows that it is installing this.

2. Can I some how install all components of the firmware from KI8 and only CSC from Indian KF3 ? If so then can I do it now ? Can someone send me detailed steps for doing it ?

3. Will there be any disadvantages if I have UK CSC, will I miss anything ?

Please help...

well, it is always your choice. It is a leaked version and as such it is not listed on samfirmware. Haven't got any problems with it until now.

[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
As I am not Brazilian and do not use BR-PT (not even PT), I can only say, , that XWKI8 does not contain BR-PT ... only Português.

If that is not enough for you, you should use the latest UH-ROM (seems to be UHKI1 -> 2.3.4).

But it is your choice.
[Galaxy S II General] fgar82:
