Flashing XWKK2 should not be a problem :)

As to updates after flashing, if your regions official biuld number is not XWKK2, then kise will not regconise your software, so not updates..

I would stick to Odin and FW from here if you want to keep up to date, you'll get them a lot faster.. :)

Follow the instruction in the first post, and you can't go wrong..

Good luck ;)

If you want to flash a custom ROM, you don't need anything from here ;)

If you have "root" already, I would suggessed you make a backup before flashing any custom ROM, just in case :)

Good luck..

Hi again intra!

Currently is (2.3.4):

PDA: I9100XWKI4

MODEM: I9100XXKI1

CSC: I9100FOPKI1 (Spain)

So... do you recommend her KK5? Any stock KK5? (non-frankenstein, I think modem is KJ3)

And what do you think about KK2?, it's unbranded, and KK5 is branded :(

Thank again!
[Galaxy S II General] avdl72:
I will give it a try.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] Rinoko72:
Your welcome, mate.. :)

Be a sport and hit the "thanks" button ;)
[Galaxy S II General] hansolo30:
Thank you!

I was thinking in a newer version, like the 2.3.5, with a better benchmark and battery compsumition.

Wich can I use?

To make a backup, I normally use Titanium.

How do we get transparent background in Menu. It was present in the DEMO firmware but later it was made all black.
[Galaxy S II General] Krizp0:
Yeah, and also the fancy rotating animation in the browser :p
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
When you update the firmware you'll lose root priviliges and you'll need to reroot the device.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
If you use the generic XWKE7 firmware it only has XEU CSC so once it's flashed and the device hard reset (as opposed to factory reset) it should then have XEU CSC.
[Galaxy S II General] miracle33:
all as described!

thanks
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Instead of the CSC that's in the multi-csc zip file just download and use the ITV CSC .tar along with the PDA and Modem .tar from the XWKE7 multi-csc zip.

In other words, when you download the XWKE7 multi-CSC package and extract it you will fine 3 files labeled with PDA, MODEM and CSC. Just place the PDA and Modem in the respective parts in Odin along with the ITV CSC instead of the CSC in the zip.

[Galaxy S II General] sohailz:
Hi Guys,

I recently bought my SGS2 and below are the details:

Model Number: GT-I9100G

Baseband-Version: I900GDZKH5

Kernal-Version: 2.6.35.7 root@DELL81 #2

Build Number: GINGERBREAD.JPKH8

Android-Version: 2.3.4

I have searched lots of threads but I could not find the way to root my phone and then install a custom darky ROM for kernal KH5.

Could anybody please tell me the steps for KH5 i.e, how to root and then install the custom ram? I am familiar with the procedure but the only hurdle is the KH5 and i didn't get any information about this anywhere.

Please help. Gratitude in Advance.

Regards
[Galaxy S II General] Rinoko72:
Hi, this thread is for the GT-I9100.

Your I9100G is not the same model, so I think your in the wrong thread :)

I'm pretty sure the Fw here won't wok for you, but don't quote me on that ;)

New ICS builds released!

I have just heard that a site we don't like to mention on here has recently posted two new leaked ICS builds, namely KP4 & KP8.

As I understand it, KP4 is 4.0.1 and KP8 is 4.0.3 with a build date of 30th December.

Are these worth downloading, or are they just developer releases only, do we know? :confused:

Edit: Before I get flamed too much, I am now aware that there are already a few other threads which have recently been started on the subject of these two 'leaks', of which KP8 is of course the latest!
[Galaxy S II General] musashiro:
Xxkp8 is released... Wondering if it has a nowipe version... Lazy to make backups..lol

ROM choice help

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the totally noob/stupid question, but I tried to figure out the latest version to put on my phone, but I cannot make headway with all these different versions.

I have a stock (but rooted) SGS2 on Bell in Canada (the Bell SGS2 is the international version)

Model Number: GT-I9100M

Android-Version: 2.3.3

Baseband-Version: I9100MUGKG2

Kernel-Version: 2.6.35.7 -I9100MUGKG2-CL371789

Build Number: GINGERBREAD.UGKG2

I would like to put the latest 2.3.6 on it, but not sure what I need to get with all the versions out there.

If someone can give me the exact rom version name/link , and if I need to flash other modem or whatever else that would be great,

Thank you
[Galaxy S II General] krishca:
Check your version before flashing any firmware.

Happy New Year to you Intra. Keep up your good work!!!

---------- Post added at 05:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 AM ----------

Unless Intra posts the official ICS with non wipe and with India CSC, I am not flashing any ROM's.

[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Happy new years guys! Hope 2012 will be a peaceful and prosperous year for everyone.

About the ICS leaks, I have been testing these and as I've said before I won't be uploading the firmware that are hardly worth flashing. XXKP8 is best described as an early BETA and Samsung are still in the middle of the development cycle for the ICS release. New Widgets and such are still being developed.

KL3 testing

First up - Intra - thanks for all the releases and updates on ICS. They are very useful and you are always the 'go to' source for all stock firmware updates.

For anyone interested in KL3 testing/updates. I was using KK1 which I had been very happy with. Only issue I had found were slow 'home button' screen refresh.

KL3 is looking the best release yet from my perspective. Home screen lag is gone, the over-scroll display has been tweaked to not be as intrusive (at least I think so - still not a patch on the over scroll bounce though.....). I've also noticed that 3G and H+ switching (I'm in Singapore) takes place far less frequently and probably best of all, the battery life it my best yet.
[Galaxy S II General] striken:
Intratech,

Thank you for all the hard work you have put in your Post!

I have one question, hope some one can anwser me...

I bought a Galaxy S II that came with:

PDA: I9100XWKI4

CSC: I9100XEUKH2

PHONE: I9100XXKI1

I've installed a I9000XXKL1 - 2.3.6 (last firmware update in samfirmware). But in Build ID said "XXKL1test" and came with some developer test tools.

I found in your Post my first firmware (I9100XWKI4), and installed again.The phone is okay!

Question:

My original firmware came with another default wallpaper picture, and when I search for it I see that the wallpapers gallery has one less picture. This is no bigger deal but,

can some one explain me if the same firmware can have diferences? Does someone knows why this happens?

I'm going to change this phone because it came with another problem and just want to install the original firmware again...

I want to try to understand if I need to search for another firmware.

Thks,
[Galaxy S II General] musashiro:
so when the firmware drops by at this topic..

its really stable...

thumbs up Infra...
[Galaxy S II General] xmoo:
I guess XWKL1 is the latest Frankenstein release?

Is it worth upgrading from KK5?

Also what do you mean with "Based on official package"? Stock bootloader etc?
[Galaxy S II General] MeX_DK:
And a happy new years to you as well :). So i take it that those 2 builds that were leaked and not even "stable" enough to at least be considered usuable as a daily driver?
[Galaxy S II General] radiobicho:
Happy new year 2012, intratech!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:
Happy new year 2012, intratech!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great work TY
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Well the same XWKI4 can have small differences depending on the region they are packaged for. The thing to do is look for the CSC that originally came on your device and match the firmware version containing that CSC if you want to go back to stock.

There was a XWKL1 leak which was a development tester firmware. I had uploaded some versions of it but removed them to avoid confusion and just leave the official XWKL1. Yes it's the latest Frankenstein release and can't tell any difference between KK5 and KL1, you're not losing anything by updating.

Correct. When I get something that's stable and am free to release it I will. Nothing I have tested so far is stable enough to be daily drivers but Samsung is making very good progress.
[Galaxy S II General] minhquan7884:
Happy new year everyone and special to intratech.
[Galaxy S II General] ksantoshh:
I believe Kies take the Sales Code to check for the latest build for that region, so in yuor case may be the sales code EGY, didnt had latest up updates.You may want to confirm this with other folks.

Happy Updating, Keep your phone safe :D:D
[Galaxy S II General] romano_ezzat:
Can u tell me whats is the best sales code i can use for me

My sales code now is KSA what is your openion to me
[Galaxy S II General] MeX_DK:
Splendid. I was actually considering flashing it, but if its just going to lead to instability and generally uselessness as a daily driver then its not for me yet. I dont mind a bit of instability etc as long as its at least useable on a daily basis etc :).

But as I suspected its not so. So I will wait till the editions starts showing up here.
[Galaxy S II General] DeCex:
hi Intratech, thanks you so much for all your hard work. I was wondering if thare any newer MultiCSC then OXXKI2 which contain NEE?

Is thare non from the KJ or KL branch?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
CSC does not get updated frequently as its only a list of local networks settings and is not required for phone to work .

KP8 is the last CSC for beta test ICS Android 4 .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] awjunk:
Quite possibly ;)

though to be fair been tested every release but only stuck on 3 different release in the past 7 months so the sarcasm is a little uncalled for...

Think I'll wait for the SGS 3 before moving to ICS so I'm happy to test all GB releases.

Trouble changing between ROMs

Hi all,

I recently sent my SGS2 of for a rapair, and it came back with a new mainboard and an updated firmware to JPKJ2

Ever since then I've been unable to flash any other firmwares or custom ROMs.

After I flash with ODIN, i get a whole lot of error messages saying it can't mount any of the file system.

Its starting to become a major pain in the arse.

Anyone else had an issue like this?
[Galaxy S II General] rististien:
yes I have GT-i9100. I have been stumped trying to figure out which rom to install! I'm using gingerbread eg30 and lostkernel and it's just making it impossible to install cyanogen and I have random annoying bugs. I want to know what rom I'm supposed to download but no one can seem to help me. I just want the proper rom on my phone so I can get cyanogen to install or possibly miui to not give me the network bug. I don't understand why it has to be so complicated... sigh.
[Galaxy S II General] SaneinOne:
Sounds like a secondary bootloader issue. Anyone?
[Galaxy S II General] eprpicdavey:
Secondary bootloader?

So how do I go about changing/finding a new one?
[Galaxy S II General] emilcioran99:
Hy Intratech!

Would you do something with the XXKL1?

[Galaxy S II General] bernard134:
Seem like this time around, samsung is really working hard to make ICS to be release as promise in early Q1 2012. Hope it will be as stable as gingerbread.

But samsung make the status bar to grey instead of stock blue which is totally sux.
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
A very happy new year to you as well, buddy. Many thanks again for the quick updates and Frankenstein packages. :)
[Galaxy S II General] striken:
Intratech,

Thank you very much for your quick reply and help.

It must be some other diference between the same firmware.

I installed the same CSC that came with the phone (I9100XEUKH2).

I've installed 4 other firmwares, since 2.3.3 until 2.3.6 with XEU and Multi OXA and couldn't find that original firmware that came with this default wallpaper:

I guess it doesn't mather, its just a small thing I can't figure why and where's the diference...

If ant one knows an Open Europe Firmware (only XEU), that comes with this default wallpaper please share :-)

Thks,
[Galaxy S II General] ksantoshh:
Bro, There is nothing like the best CSC, unlike Firmware and Modem.As mentoned CSC will have Region/Telco specific customization, I think it would be best for you to stick to your area sales code KSA ( Saudi arabia ) :D
[Galaxy S II General] MeX_DK:
Unlike you I actually like the black one ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Shadamehr:
Stuck in BOLD Font after update

Now this is just plain bizarre...

Since updating my FW fine using this guide, my phone has been driving me mad.

There was something just 'not quite right' about it, and it's took me a while to figure out.

I came to realise, my phone has changed the default font. Or at least, that's what I first thought.

I now realise however, that this is not quite exact. What has actually happened, is that my phone is using BOLD throughout, as my default font.

The best way to spot this, was to load up my email on a spare Galaxy S2 I have, and compare it side by side with the newly updated handset. And sure enough, on the old phone, the email list looks fine. On the newly updated one, the text looks terrible, being as it is, a BOLD font (this is everywhere, from Marketplace, through to the time on the Status Bar at the top)

The problem is, I can't find out how to resolve this. And weirdly, comparing it with another S2, my partner's, hers is fine, yet it is using the EXACT same build, FW, and kernel, as my updated handset.

So I'm totally at a loss to figure this one out guys...?

I've updated to:

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI4-CL575468 root@DELL143 #2

Build: GINGERBREAD.XWKI4

This is exactly the same as my partner's, but her's uses proper Android font in none-bold.

Any ideas anyone?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Is it an option for you to change the font?

Settings menu => Display => Screen => Font ... try Helvetica S for example.

Or use the action for installing/downloading online fonts and choose another font with "slim" letters.

Alternatively flash another ROM, such as XWKL1, or just another kernel. I remember that I have recognized slight differences in system font after flashing other kernels.

If you do not want to change the font, just try it.
[Galaxy S II General] dan1431:
Intratech,

First, thank you for taking time out of your busy day to contribute to these forums.

Second, I have been flashing different ROMS without issue and I have to send my device back for service.

I flashed back to the original ROM (that cam installed on the phone) and all is fine except that in RECOVERY, I get this message, "can't access to '/system/csc/TPA/system".

I did some searching and it seems to be an issue without a resolution (even found a thread where it is marked at solved) and it appears from the thread it was not solved after all.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dan
[Galaxy S II General] ksantoshh:
As mentioned by It_ler , you can set the font through :

Settings menu => Display => Screen => Font ==> try Helvetica S

or Alternatively just falsh this zip file from CWM to get a list of fonts in settings.

Hope this hepls !

Can we use the USB jig to reset counter in the Stock KL1 ROM .??

And I live in India , and am on stock KF3 . Now want to update to the latest indian stock KL1 .

If i update thru kies , will it be non wipe ??

And if i decide to flash thru odin , should i use the KL1 listed under official firmware on page 1 in this thread or the frankestein one .??

Are the official firmwares listed wipe versions .??
[Galaxy S II General] smilingcruel:
you can use the official one not the frankestein.....its a nonwipe version.....last week i updated using Odin...kies is time consuming.....odin is easy

hit thanks if helped....
[Galaxy S II General] sasha007:
But i want to wipe my S2 . what 2 do .??
[Galaxy S II General] smilingcruel:
do a factory reset and flash the rom.....
[Galaxy S II General] hirak99:
Upgrading to KL1 will not wipe by itself if you use Odin.

If you want to wipe, do a reset to factory settings from Privacy in Settings before upgrade.

I recommend Odin for upgrading - much less messy than Kies. Just point to the file on PDA, and hit Start!
[Galaxy S II General] sasha007:
So resetting to factory setting and then flashing KL1 through ODIN , would wipe my current ROM and then flash KL1 .??

Actually I'm experiencing random freezes on my S2 , so am planning to wipe .

Should i download the original firmware KL1 on page 1 , or the Frankenstein one .? What is the difference .?:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
As you want to wipe:

1. Reboot into recovery mode (Shut down the phone, then press Volume UP + Home + Power button until recovery menu appears).

2. Wipe data / factory reset. Just power off your phone after wiping.

3. Reboot into download mode (Volume Down + Home + Power button).

4. Flash XWKL1 ROM with Odin. I prefer Frankenstein versions, as I want to combine the ROM with different Modems/CSC. But you can use official version too. Both version should work for you.

5. After flashing with Odin, there will be an automatic reboot of the phone and you are done !

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:

[Galaxy S II General] elms327:
what custom ROM are you on?
[Galaxy S II General] ksantoshh:
Bro, I hope you are rooted with a CF root kernal or a custom kernal. Place the Zip file n your SD card.Go into Recovery Mode and simply flash the zip file with the option ( Install Zip from SD Card). After Flashing you will be able to see all the flashed fonts through :

Settings menu => Display => Screen => Font

Hope This Helps !

[Galaxy S II General] hirak99:
Guys... I used the CWM to root but it showed the yellow triangle.

Then I switched back to the original kernel. But curious: those of you who run CWM, is it supposed to show the yellow triangle on boot?
[Galaxy S II General] aceofclubs:
Yellow triangle is a warning that something custom has been flashed.

Why you guys don't just spend $3 on a jig is beyond me.
