Have you switched to the official xxki3 rom? Just wondering if its the same as the leaked version?
[Galaxy S II General] bluzes:
@Intratech, any plans to also make available the official ki3 with the included new bootloader like u did with the leaked one? Just wondering.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It's the same as the leaked one which I had so I just moved the package to official. If you look in the Frankenstein™ section you'll see the package with the new bootloader.

OXA vs XEO

I am just wondering why we have KG5-OXA (Poland) and KI3-XEO (Poland)...

Cannot seem to find why there are two CSCs identified as Poland.

I think I remember reading that OXA was Multi-CSC (included XEU).

I am in Canada using KG5-OXA: any reason why I should not go with XEO ?

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
The OXA multiCSC package contains XEO CSC.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Telstra Australia TELKF3 CSC package now available.
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
Intratech, just a curious question. Is there a difference between the old bootloader and the new one other than the fact that you can't reset the counter using the jig?

Noise Cancelation Option is removed in KI3

The Noise Cancelation option while making call is removed in stock KI3. It was present in leaked ROM--KI3

Did any one checked it...I am using HK version of 2.3.5..Its not there
[Galaxy S II General] charliesaotome:
I have a PDA UHKE2 and PHONE UHKE3 it's a Movistar branded rom from Ecuador I'm thinking of rooting the phone but I'm not able to find the combination. Can I use other one like the chilean one or I just have to wait for the new rom. Any leads would be much appreciated thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] vazovskiiii:
bootloader

hi can i root ki3 firmware with new bootloader with usual method ?
[Galaxy S II General] hkwildboy:
i'm using stock ZSKI3 which i updated directly from KIES, the noise cancellation option is still there.
[Galaxy S II General] crypticc:
So quick update from ki1 modem applied to ki3 rom. Does anyone notice on vanilla ki3 or same with ki1 radio the bug that: battery stats cell standby reported as being 100% without signal though never once without at least two bars and often five.

[Galaxy S II General] nickbarbs:
i can't decide between KI3 and KI4. Hate this.

on one hand nothing from 2.3.5 is really needed, big thing for me is google video chat which is ok with 2.3.4.

KI3 -

Blue overscroll glow and no bounce, not a fan, miss the bounce.

seems to be less battery than what I had going with KI4.

but, its the latest and it seems to be samsung official, so why not be on the latest.

KI4,

2.3.4

Bounce is better

Seems better baterry life

Not the latest..

I can't decide!
[Galaxy S II General] gtda:
Stay with ki4, the glow and vibrate icon annoyed me enough to go back. Also when dictionary popped up it was in a different language even tho I selected english

Will my device be wiped or is this a non-wipe version? Btw, it's not the Frankenstein one (if there is).
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Reading is your friend.

Do you know how to search in a thread?

I found 367 posts in this thread containing "wipe" and "non-wipe".

Poor Intratech is answering it nearly all the time:

All ROMs are non-wipe, except there is explicitly written "wipe".

And, especially for XXKI3, Intratech offered a wipe and non-wipe version in Frankenstein section.

The XXKI3 (XEO - Poland) in Official section is non-wipe.
[Galaxy S II General] maxwarp79:
In the last 3 months I always used cooked ROMs, but I would like to come back to a stock ROM. :D

The features I need are:

1. recent (KIx?);

2. rooted;

3. with Italian language and CSC;

4. support to USB host (OTG);

5. possibility to reset counter with JIG.

Which ROM do you recommend? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] DarkNiz:
@lt_ler: The reason I have asked is because there are sections in the first post that reads "wipe" but it doesn't wipe, as was the case with XXKG5, which I installed a while back. Thanks for info anyway.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
XXKI3

XXKG5 doesn't say wipe though. :confused::confused:
[Galaxy S II General] maxwarp79:
Thank you, but for me it's not better XWKI4?

XW---> Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Nordic, Spain, United Kingdom

I don't need to install an individual ITV CSC Package?!? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
To be honest, it doesn't really matter. I've even flash Hong Kong firmware to my device and that's ZS.
[Galaxy S II General] DarkNiz:
It doesn't wipe, correct, but the first post (at least the way I read it), seems to indicate a wipe. Perhaps I'm just not seeing it correctly.

I will also rather wait for OXA Poland. The one I posted now is XEO Poland and I don't want to lose anything :)
[Galaxy S II General] maxwarp79:
Ok, can you explain me why you recommend me that version?

2.3.5 vs. 2.3.4 and KI3 vs. KI1 ?!? ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It is the same OXA CSC package, it's just that it was released now in Poland and labelled as such.

It's the best firmware I've used to date and it's 2.3.5
[Galaxy S II General] DarkNiz:
Oh, okay, thanks. So it's basically also a multi-csc then? I'll be installing shortly. Thanks for all the good stuff :)
[Galaxy S II General] nickbarbs:
I'll stick with KI3 for now based on the strong recommendation of the head p1mp of this thread.

I will say I despise the blue glow on the browser however,

I THINK I KNOW WHY THEY ARE DOING IT. A big part of Apple's lawsuit is the " bounce" on the menus and browser. I think this is Samsung's attempt at coming up with their own touch bounce.

Oh well, I predict in future updates, we will have some version of this blue overscrow replacing the bounce to cover their butts in the court system.
[Galaxy S II General] gorko122:
Intratech may i ask which modem you use with ki3 and why?

Thx
[Galaxy S II General] juraj.s:
I'd like to share my experience with you about differences between XWKI4(2.3.4) and XXKI3(2.3.5) official firmwares.

KI3:

+ nice narrow font (same as in early firmwares)

+ system power saving acts more swiftly (compared to KI4)

- more battery drain

- annoying vibration icon in notification area (even when loud profile active)

- i don't like the blue scroll overglow effect

- looks like its more buggy when reading other threads

- 2.3.5 and still no bundled talk w/ video (shame)

KI4:

+ in my opinion: the best official FW out there so far.

+ the best battery performance comparing to all previous official firmwares (KE*/KF*/KG5/KI3)

- uglier boldish system font (but after few days I have just used to it) :D

- when system power saving is enabled, the phone is really laggy

And by the way: thank you Intratech for ultimate job ;)
[Galaxy S II General] mmmmbeer:
I'm running XXKI3 and I only have a vibration icon in the notification area when have the sound off:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] hkwildboy:
They just pulled back the ZSKI3 firmware in Hong kong today. One bug reported is in Swype, not being able to change to other input method by long pressing the wheel teeth.

Anyways, those who have updated the firmware from Kies before will receive such a display saying it's not an officical release. What a joke!!!!
[Galaxy S II General] arnoldod:
Just want to share my experience with KI3.

I don't use system power saving but I agree with you that KI3 comes with nice narrow font. As for battery drain, I also experience high battery drain until I changed my modem to KG5. Besides helping me solve my battery drain problem, KG5 plays nicely with my phone provider compare to other modem. I can get 3G or even H with minimal signal loTn signal lost.

As the result, I'm still @ 64% after 13 hours of moderate use today.

Thanks, Intratech! :)
[Galaxy S II General] andresalonika:
KI3's 2.3.5 internet browser is INCREDIBLE!! the fastest.....
[Galaxy S II General] nuscape:
I still think KI3 battery life is way much better than KI4. I had to use system power saving with KI4 but not with KI3.

Cosmetic issues such as blue glow is minor to me. Battery life is crucial to me. I have 5 gmail accounts with auto background sync 24 hrs and one exchange account, and I still have around

40% by 9pm (normally unplug from charger @8am).
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
XXKI3. Fast connectivity and low battery drain on my network.

Portugal XWKI4 firmware now available.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Dayum, may need to move it to Frankenstein then. :(
[Galaxy S II General] rayghost:
Intratech, can I combine the Frankenstein non-wipe XXKI3 with the XEN listed under the official CEKI2 to get andoid 2.3.5?

Btw Thanks for your efforts to supply us with new firmware http://media.xda-developers.com/ima...ia.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon14.gif
[Galaxy S II General] amandureja:
Should I use the XEU Frankenstein or OXA official firmware for my Canadian S2?

Yes, Frankenstein package in PDA and CSC in CSC section of Odin and flash.

Probably the XEU based on feedback received.

[Galaxy S II General] drelite08:
Just wanted to say a big thank you and well done to intratech for all your firmware work. Its greatly appreciated for the SII community.
[Galaxy S II General] nickbarbs:
I definitely second the thanks.

I just want to say I have gone back to ki4 after using ki3 for 24hours and find it noticeably better in performance and battery life. If anyone is on the fence. Also much prefer the bounce to the overglow. Going to stick with it for now and upgrade my buddy to it so we can do video chat.

Great performance all around and battery is champ with stock kernel. Thanks for your great helpful work!

Hi,

[Galaxy S II General] hkwildboy:
There's no offical word from Samsung yet, But funny, Samsung is still allowing download of the same ZSKI3 ROM in Taiwan. (As you know, Taiwan and HK share the same ROM).
[Galaxy S II General] hkwildboy:
Another bug i notice in ZSKI3 is that apps do not stay in the "moved" position after each power off. Does that happen to other KI3 ROMs too?
[Galaxy S II General] mr_ding:
Not sure if I'm going crazy or not. I used to recall getting a 'voicemail notification' when I have voicemail. Now I just get a 'missed call' in notification, but it did not tell me I have voicemail.

Did anyone have same problem?

Using KI3 on Bell Canada, with launcherPro (just in case it matters)
[Galaxy S II General] Brendo:
That has been an issue for ages. I updated from kg6 and it had that bug :(

If you have problems to root your phone with SuperOneClick, Chainfire has a CF-Root kernel for your ROM KE7.

Please try 7Zip and do not double click the exe file.

Just one right click -> context menu -> 7-zip -> extract here...
[Galaxy S II General] acksen1986:
Thanks,I need it very much
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
I did not test it, but IMO you should flash the modem part (not the modem.bin file) of the KH3 ROM via Odin.

You can get the modem part from Samfirmware.com's I9100XXKH3 ROM.

Just extract the rar file -> modem part is "MODEM_I9100XXKH3_REV_02_CL1050544.tar.md5".

Put this file in PHONE section of Odin and flash it to your phone.

Good luck!

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

Please try to use XXKI3 non-wipe from Frankenstein section in PDA -> I think, that is what you already did (twice).

And use a CSC listed underneeth this ROM - also from Frankenstein section.

I would suggest "Netherlands XENKH1 CSC", because it is the latest version for your country.

That should work better ...
[Galaxy S II General] MeX_DK:
What do you mean by "moved" as in you trying to move it to SD or ?
[Galaxy S II General] akbarhash:
Hi so i wanted to flash the csc from jpkh1, so i downloaded the jpkg1 csc file(that you have provided Big Thanks) and looked into it, i saw the cache.img and hidden.img files.

I decided to download jpkh1 firmware file and extracted the two files and then made a tar of the using 7zip.

I guess i made a mistake somewhere hence the flashing process failed.

Then i went ahead and flashed the csc from the jpkg1 file its working for now but for the sake of science could you tell me where i went wrong.

I figured

a) I messed up 7 zip settings(used default).

b) Am supposed to use only one file from the two.

c) They have to be packaged some special way.

Any help is appreciated.

Edit: Hey Thanks I got it I took the jpkh1 firmware file and deleted the other files in it using 7 zip(all except cache.img and hidden.img) and it worked. Thanks Intratech for making everyone's life easier.

Needed the file for the setting shown in the second screenshot.
[Galaxy S II General] rayghost:
Thanks for your reply. I'm sorry to tell that all the time I was using the stock kernel instead of the non-wipe, so now everything is okay and I'm on 2.3.5 with XXKI3 :)
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
No wipe .

[Galaxy S II General] DVC1985:
So what's this about a counter? Does the phone only allow you to flash unsigned kernels a certain amount of times before it locks flashing altogether or something?
[Galaxy S II General] dazmancumbria:
Thats what i would like to know :)

Tried updating to Ke7 by the samsung software. but still on the same version !! STRANGE!!!
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
Flashed & rooted perfectly, thank you sir. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
You got the root bit a bit muddled.

Start Odin and flash insecure KDD kernel, then root with superoneclick and then flash stock kernel. Just follow the guide step by step.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
No it doesn't lock anything otherwise my phone would be locked up tighter than Fort Knox by now.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
What is the original HIDSWVER details form your registry?
[Galaxy S II General] DVC1985:
Thanks, mate.

So is there anything to be worried about with this counter? I presume that should a phone be sent in under warranty it's so Samsung can then tell if you've been flashing non-Samsung stuff to the phone and thus wriggle their way out of a free repair or something?
[Galaxy S II General] αкαѕнα:
Be nice :eek:

I agree with you that the guide is pretty straight forward so i think it basically normal fear of bricking the phone...

Your guide was in fact one of the best i've seen..

So THANK YOU for your work.. i love ya.. <3
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yes, I'm guessing that's what the counter is for but if you use a USB Jig to boot into download mode it resets it to nil.

I am always nice senorita. The last bit was just a bit of reassurance that following the guide step by step and it will work.

Cheers mi amor. :p

Ive use odin to flash and superoneclick , tried putting back to KE1 so i can up grade to KE7, it looks like it loads the firmware but still shows KE2.

Followed the guide and still no joy :(

Can you give ne some advice before i put a hammer though it :D
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
The Jig does work and it resets the counter.

Why are you going back to KE1 before flashing KE7? Just do a flash using XWKE7.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Are you using a HTC USB cable?

it will wipe my data or not ?

I flashed a CSC and it did not wipe, and I didn't have to reset for it to work, I did not have any CSC installed before though, so your experience can be different.

upgrading to 2.3.5 from 2.3.3

I currently have the Middle east firmware XSG_I9100JPKH1_I9100XXKG5_I9100OJPKH1 (2.3.3). Want to upgrade to 2.3.5. I am a bit confused as going thru the samfirmware website, i downloaded the whole package (PDA, CSC, Modem, Pit & Odin 1.83).

But, after reading this post, i think i should not go forward with the samfirmware packages!!

Can anyone suggest as to what all files i should choose? The original polish package (2.3.5) or the Frankenstein package? Also, should i use CSC of middle east alongwith the package.

What are the advantages of the new bootloader? should i update with the new bl instead of the old one.

How to update without a brick?

EDIT

A little help guys!!!

Should i choose WIPE Or NON-WIPE?

Does the WIPE one have new BL?

Go for non-wipe frankenstein package then get the jpkg1 csc and flash that as well

go for old bootloader.

i cant say that surely if the arabic support will be there after flashing the 2.3.5

if it starts boot looping(not a likely scenario) it is because of the difference between arabic and other firmware, after flashing go to recovery and then reset.
