Is there any way I can coerce you, Intratech, to extract a copy of the OLCKH1 (or is it OLBKH1?) from the DXKH2? Appreciate the help.

installed XXKH3 on my i9100T and the phone is now i9100, did not loose any data/apps... but one question,is the camera ok in this new firmware? because in my previous firmware, as soon as i start the camera, 2 sounds used to come from the device ,like a manual shutter,same with skype... now after the flashing, only one sound comes. Every thing works perfectly, but before taking the pic, the image in live view is kind of -a bit out of focus, but the pic comes out perfectly...

did anyone else notice it?
[Galaxy S II General] darkmax1974:
どもありがとございます。

Thank you very much.　This will help keep my SGS II in Gingerbread 2.3.4 while having the appropriate kernel, modem and CSC. :D
[Galaxy S II General] maxgajo:
Hi, does anybody know which ROM is standard for a Polish Samsung S2 (bought mid of July). I'm asking this because I flash my S2 without checking first which was the original ROM and now I do not know how to revert to the original...

Tks in advance!

What are the correct stock firmware and firmware/ROM files I should download?

My system is as follows...

Baseband ("Phone")

I9100XXKE7

Kernel

2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555 root@DELL101 #2

Build number ("PDA")

GINGERBREAD.XWKF3

Q: Does that mean I need the files listed under package heading "XWKF3" (PDA:XWKF3, PHONE: XXKE7)?

Q: Is that kernel the exact same one that my phone ships with? I want to be sure of that before I replace the one on the phone with CF Root. Because I may flash the stock kernel back once I have gained root.

Q: Also, will replacing the kernel wipe my phone, or is that something that only happens when I replace the firmware/ROM?

Q: For the future - if I do choose to also replace my firmware, is the stock firmware package I need to download from here also the one listed under XWKF3 (PDA:XWKF3, PHONE: XXKE7), or another?

Thanks.

I am new at this so sorry for any Noob question

How to back up the current firmware

How to check if this is the most recent updated firmware

How to install the orignal firmware and get the phone to stock if anythings goes wrond and have to get warrently replacement for the phone...
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
1. You're device is a XEU device so you should looks for firmwares labeled as XEU. Your stock firmware would be the XEU version of XWKF3 from the first page.

2. Yes the kernel for XWKF3 is the same.

3. Updating the kernel won't wipe your device.

4. Your stock firmware is XEU firmware from the first page.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I suggest you start by reading the stuff hidden in writing on the first page of this thread. I know we are very sneaky writing this stuff down and expecting you to read it but we like to be difficult like that.
[Galaxy S II General] robertandrews:
But updating the firmware will, right?

So the XEU for the same, corresponding XWKF3, right?

Many thanks.

BTW, how do these files differ from any offered officially via samfirmwares.com?
[Galaxy S II General] TECK:
Heh, @Intratech
[Galaxy S II General] inkyadrian:
Go to samfirmware.com or use kies (****e thing).
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I don't know anything about samfirmware files but just to point out once again that they are not affiliated with Samsung in any way whatsoever.

I get these firmware files directly off the Samsung firmware server, they are as official as it gets.

Using these files to upgrade will, unless otherwise stated, not wipe your device.

Yes XEU XWKF3

Can someone advise me? I've read through the thread (and a few of the replies) a few times and I can't make sense of it :(

PDA: I9100XWKE2

What is the latest firmware that'll work on my phone? :confused:

I don't care about the O2 branding, in fact I'd rather be rid of that, if that's an issue

Thanks for any help you can give me :)
[Galaxy S II General] MeX_DK:
I have the following:

PDA: I9100XWKF3

PHONE: I9100XXKE7

CSC: I9100OXXKF1

Build Info: Thu Jun 9 18:16:44 KST 2011

And I am using the NEE CSC code. But can I flash "XXKH3" complete and retain the CSC compliant with the NEE CSC?.

If not then what "ROM" should I take if I am looking for an upgrade compared to what I have at the moment.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Any OXA firmware will do, latest is XXKG5
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
You can find carrier firmware in the carrier branded firmware thread. Alternately you can use the XEU firmware to get rid of the o2 branding if you want to use UK firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yes you are using NEE CSC. If you flash XXKH3 it will not have the NEE CSC but it will work just fine in your country. Otherwise you are using the latest available firmware for your device already.
[Galaxy S II General] kinglozzer:
Thanks, I will get rid of it.

Can I just pick the most recent XEU firmware? XWKF3 if I'm right?

Thanks again
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yes..................
[Galaxy S II General] kinglozzer:
Thanks for your help :)
[Galaxy S II General] MeX_DK:
What will the consequence be tho?. I mean if I flash since it hasn't got NEE ??. Will i still keep my danish language etc as an option
[Galaxy S II General] Sandwiches:
just flashed to KH3 and everything went fine, but it now says KST (korea?) instead of BST when I do *#1234#.

Is this ok?
[Galaxy S II General] niketshah11:
which one to use

I am currently using XWKE8 for india, what version should i be upgrading to ..

Couldnt find the answer hence asking a noob question.
[Galaxy S II General] carreaum:
Intratech - Do you have some informations about coming updates for Galaxy S II? There is no update since long time ago.

Thank you for your reply.
[Galaxy S II General] robertandrews:
Apologies if is is answered elsewhere in this large thread but is Swype included with these stock files, ie. they are absolutely the same as on the shipped devices?
[Galaxy S II General] gorko122:
Swype is in all Firmwares included.
[Galaxy S II General] rustyx3:
Swype is included in all stock firmwares, but it is not the same; supported languages differ per ROM, depending on the destination country.

However, unlike other country-specific stuff, Swype languages are not in the CSC, they are hardcoded in the ROM itself.
[Galaxy S II General] donalgodon:
We can just Odin the .tar via PDA and not have to use individual files for CSC, PDA, Phone, etc?
[Galaxy S II General] MeX_DK:
If there is only one tar file in the archieve, then yes, thats the way to go.
[Galaxy S II General] boxy44:
guys,

after flashing the KH3 over my vodafone branded 2.3.3,i noticed that the signal goes to zero sometimes in places where it normally wouldn't.. vodafones band is '850' i guess in melbourne,where i live. can i do something to change this ? Or is it just me ?
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
You can try changing your modem to a different one, that should solve the problem for you.

Sorry I know a lot of people have asked already for this sort of help just this post is a bit overwelming at over 300 pages.

[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Latest official UK firmware is XWKF3
[Galaxy S II General] stephen2529:
Hi

Yeah I thought that was the case. What I ment to say was the kg5 rom states its for poland ect. Will one of these work ok for a uk phone? Im getting really frustrated waiting for Kies and just want to update but keep with official software.

what I really need to know is which one of these should I download to use on my phone.

Thanks for the reply by the way.

It's not Android 2.3.4 no matter what Samfirmware wants to say. Look on the first page of this thread for a no-wipe version which has been available from the get go.

I would prefer to use the stock keyboard thank you. So any solution that will allow that to happen is most welcome.

thanx man, could u tell me how to get and flash the vodafone ausse modem over the kh3 ?
[Galaxy S II General] MeX_DK:
Is CSC has nothing to do with language at all, why the *beep* is there then different versions for different countries.

And it doesn't make sense. Because I can set the phone language to danish. But I can't be "allowed" to change the writing language to danish since it doesn't exist on the phone >_<. But it said something about failing accessing /xxx/xxx/csc/NEE on install of KH3, but still that it succeeded.

That one bit can be danish, but the other bit can not says to me that something has failed on install.
[Galaxy S II General] gorko122:
Read first post. CSC has nothing to do with available language, etc.
[Galaxy S II General] MeX_DK:
Well then, can you please explain WHY I can set my phone to Danish language, but the language I can use to compose emails/sms can not be set for Danish.

If Danish was not supported at all, it would at least make sense to me if it wasn't even present in the phone. But when I can set the phone language to it, but not the keyboard language I would thusly conclude something has gone wrong on install.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Dude, you are using firmware not intended for devices form your region/country. Stop whining and flash Nordic firmware if you want full language support for Danish language.
[Galaxy S II General] Dj_Frost:

[Galaxy S II General] MeX_DK:
Im not whining. I was just finding it weird there was one but not the other. But Samsung need to get off their asses and start releasing newer firmware. I mean 2.3.3 is just old when the most recent version in general is. 2.3.6.

But I got GK working so I'm good.

Quick question. I got an unbranded S2 in Canada off newegg, Phone details are:

baseband I9100UHKE2

Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100UHKE2-CL188078'se.infro@SEI-06 #2

Build GINGERBREAD.UHKE2

What is the latest firmware I can download on it? Or the latest one in the second post will work fine?

Also .. somewhat related, what is the latest rooted stock rom available? Or should I download the latest rom and flash it via odin and then root it?

Thanks for the help! It is so much simpler with Nexus S phones, so galaxy line is a little confusing!

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
From what I understand, I can flash any firmware without root/clockwork etc? I just got the phone and Android OS is using about 30-40% of my battery. I'm quite sure 2.3.4 should fix this. So is it safe to flash XXKH3 from Frankenstein? And it won't wipe it right?

Sorry for the many questions but I'm new to SGS2 and all these roms there are just confusing.
[Galaxy S II General] MeX_DK:
Because Android 2.3.3 is the only official version for the Nordic SGS2's
[Galaxy S II General] MeX_DK:
KH3 will not wipe. I have flashed it to mine with no wipe. Tried to install battery mod, and then bootlooped it :P. Reinstalled KH3 again, and didn't even wipe the second time when restoring from bootloop.

And no flashing a new rom via Odin does not require root etc. But it will still increase your "custom rom counter" with 1
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Hmm...ok well I can definitely tell you that if you stick to official firmware then you will be waiting for a very long time. Your phone will always be on old firmware and you won't get anywhere.

[Galaxy S II General] MeX_DK:
Well I am on KH3 now, which is "Frankenstein" :P. Which is android 2.3.4 and whats about as far from "original" I want to go. I am not particularly interested in Cynoagen, nor some of the other true custom roms as I tend to prefer the Stock experience with a few changes.

Doesn't change the fact that I am seriously considering a full on Google Phone next time. Shame it has to get that far to get actual timely updates...officially.
[Galaxy S II General] zamana:
Downloaded. But by some reason I'm not confident to flash this firmware...

Is there a way to know if it is genuine?
[Galaxy S II General] geekaren:
I believe Intratech will know if a new official version has been released.

May want to wait for him to chime in before flashing.
[Galaxy S II General] zamana:
You're absolutely right.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] MCOGW:
Yes, there are some ways: Android Market is one of them ;)
[Galaxy S II General] zamana:
I'm sorry, but I don't understood what you mean.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
lol. That isn't a full firmware package and anyone who flashes it will see that it doesn't have a modem or proper CSC package included. I've been running a Frankenstein firmware using it and the XXKH3 modem and XEUKD1 CSC for the last week and a half. I'll upload it later.

hi...if i wipe the partition cache after updating firmware will it wipe the device....or would all the apps be erased..what does wiping partition cache do? thanks

No it won't wipe the device or apps. All it does is wipe the cache partition, deletes anything on the cache partition.

Nice, might save me restoring backups unless i get boot loops
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
Why would flashing official firmware increase your "custom binary" counter?

[Galaxy S II General] adancau:
are there any noticeable changes in KH4 compared to KH3?
[Galaxy S II General] A_Silva:
Not sure if anyone can correct me, but does anyone notice the text all over the phone a lot more readable? The effect is similar to the ClearType finishing that Microsoft introduced for Windows XP for LCD displays, looks like a winner to me! And I don't remember noticing this before (I've used all XEU firmwares up until KH3 now)

Nothing else so far (but I only used the phone for 2min after flashing)
[Galaxy S II General] flyflot:
Hi

i downloaded the kh4.

It's only one file tar.

It is a no-wipe firmware?

Andrea
[Galaxy S II General] adancau:
I guess you're right, the font did change somewhat (I flashed KH4 a couple of minutes ago, I was really curious). I'm not yet sure it's using subpixel antialiasing (i.e. ClearType), but it seems to look a bit better (or we're talking placebo here, since I was influenced by your post :) ). It appears a bit thicker as well (?). I don't have a magnifying glass to look at it unfortunately.

Changes I noticed:

- font

- the Power saving menu in settings is now better organized and is differentiating between system power saving and custom power saving

- software update icon seems to have changed a little

- new BBC iPlayer app

- new Suggests link (to download an app from Samsung)

- percent battery charge on lockscreen when charging

- was touch to focus in the camera app present before? I only noticed it now, after the update, but i haven't tried it before
[Galaxy S II General] adancau:
Can confirm it's a no wipe (all are no wipes here, unless specified otherwise).
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Greg:
Hi everyone, first thanks for you great work. I`m using rooted SGS2, Rev2.6 rom, modem KH3 and I got very poor signal, I tried many modems but is same... Anyone now which official firmwares is for factory unlocked SGS2 UK?? If I flash stock rom, I got better signal or is any way to fix this? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] crypticc:
Check build.prop . I noticed ro.ril settings were for non UK 3g, powersave and combined voice and data.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Greg:
Could you be more explicit, please?(I`m not so good in hacked phones)
[Galaxy S II General] radiobicho:
Hi all. Id like to flash Kh4 but im affraid. Someone told here that its a tester rom and has many problemm. Can anyone confirm this? Im on Kg5 and everything is ok. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] adancau:
Had it for about 2-3 hours and kept playing with it, didn't have any problems so far and seems stable. There's always a risk, but you can flash back to what you had before.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
If it was buggy I wouldn't have released it. Also what I have released is a complete firmware package unlike something I saw elsewhere.
[Galaxy S II General] geekaren:
Yes, previous firmwares included "touch to focus" for camera.

Thank you for sharing so much detail about your KH4 observations! (Thanked your post)

Thanks also to Intratech for packaging & uploading new firmwares for all of us to enjoy. Really appreciate it and donating again!
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
Nice to see that KH4 is stable. I might update my stock. So it won't affect the custom binary counter, that makes sense to me as it shouldn't have any custom binary in the first place.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Thank you geekaren, it's appreciated.:)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yes, the counter will remain unchanged unless you flash an unsigned kernel like the ones used for root.:)
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
thanks, finally a short and clear answer. Any problem with flashing with 40% battery? There's no way it will discharge that fast..
[Galaxy S II General] radiobicho:
Thanks, Intratech, for your answer. And congratulation or your nice job!!!
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Did you read the first post?

Think about this, Why would you flash the XWKE7 kernel before flashing the firmware? It just doesn't make sense does it?

BTW, there is a reason why I put the firmware update guide before the root guide. Also there is a sentence at the top of the post that says:

;)

edit: I've now made that sentence big and bold so that people will notice it in the first post.
[Galaxy S II General] kr00t0n:
The firmware (300MB) has everything including the new KE7 kernel.

When you root, you flash a different kernel, so he has included the KE7 kernel on it's own so that those who are going to root (like myself) can put the KE7 kernel back afterwards.
[Galaxy S II General] earthdome:
hmm. weird. i have redownloaded the stock kernel. but still having the error "nothing to extract"
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
From the link in the first post? It works for everyone else and I just tested it. What are you using to extract it? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] earthdome:
yeah.it's weird. i used to download your previous stock kernels too. they work just fine. i'm using winRAR
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:

Hi all.

Could you tell me please

1. Why Kies can`t see new firmware if I flashed with odin KE2 few days a go and have XEU product code. Is it normal?

2. And any changes in KE7? Light sensor fixed? or still slow response?

HELP!! I have just flashed from KE2 (O2U) to KE7 (XEU) but it will not allow me to change the CSC when I use the dialler option, anyone any ideas what I can do?

Its ok reboot sorted it
[Galaxy S II General] Krizp0:
I see the KE2 version has got a NEE version for Nordic countries, should I (from Norway) flash this one? I've already got the XEU version of it though... Does it make any difference?

Also, how's the new version - KE7 - working for you guys? Faster wake-up would be great indeed.
[Galaxy S II General] kar111:
Hey,

I updated to KE2 via kies. Then rooted my phone. I am on O2U CSC. To reflash back the stock kernel do i reflash the one that says XWKE2 STOCK KERNEL or do i reflash the O2 UK version?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It's the same kernel.:)
[Galaxy S II General] Necrobutcher:
Also charging seems to be much faster.
