Uh oh.... Not the yellow triangle!

I alwAys fear Im gonna get the yellow triangle...I just know it'll happen someday.
[Galaxy S II General] sasha007:
Oh! thnx . Now could you please advice me on completely backing up my phone before wiping .?

I've a data limited internet , so i also wanna backup apps and their data as well as complete phone including contacts , logs , sms , settings etc . Isn't there something like iTunes for Android :confused:

Also , Is their some specific reason I'm experiencing random freezes on my S2 .? Is it hardware related .?
[Galaxy S II General] swapnilraj:
How do I downgrade from 4.0.3 (XXKP8) to 2.3.6 (XWKL1)?
[Galaxy S II General] KennyLegend:
Did u do a nandroid backup before flashing ICS ? If so, restore from cwm .

If not just flash stock Rom again with odin, flash cf root kernel ... and then kernel of ur choice.
[Galaxy S II General] KennyLegend:
Download titanium backup from the market. This will back up all your apps.

Mybackup pro is good for backing up call logs, messages etc.
[Galaxy S II General] atifsh:
why so much fuss about yellow triangle and jig is beyond me, like how many times you guys reboot your phones and does that yellow triangle bites you everytime you boot...lol

i know ppl say its precaution against warrenty stuff if it comes up.... blaa blaa
[Galaxy S II General] swapnilraj:
The package I downloaded has the PDA file only what to do about the MODEM and CSC?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
If you have downloaded the ROM from Intratech's thread, then it is a one-file-version and everything needed is in this tar/md5 file.

Just put it into PDA section of Odin and flash it.

If it is a Frankenstein ROM, you can easily combine it with another Modem or CSC and flash all parts with Odin at once to your phone.

Good luck !

Same suggestion as KennyLegend.

One addition: Titanium Backup needs root to work properly.

And if you have already rooted your phone, you should make a nandroid backup from CWM recovery menu (or CWM Manager app if you have flashed CF-Root kernel).

If you have not rooted your phone, it is very difficult to make a complete backup. That's why I recommend to flash CF-Root kernel (=> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399&highlight=CF+Root)

Good luck!
[Galaxy S II General] :
Thanks, yes, I'm rooted and have CF Kernal installed. Up till now I never used CWM for anything but backup....did all the firmware flashing via Mobile ODIN. So I didn't dare yet to "recover" anything via the CWM ;-)

So I guess flashing tghis spewcific zip will not change anything to kernal, PDA, CSC, PHONE....or anything like raising the "yellow triangle", right?

BTW: The original Fonts that are on the phone by default will not be replaced, correct???

Didn't know that CWM recovery can be used for anything else than flashing the things also flashed via ODIN.....

Thanks, I'll try. => Worked flawlessly! Thanks for posting this ZIP.
[Galaxy S II General] Paul013:
Thanx 4 your awesome efforts! :))
[Galaxy S II General] lrcquest:
Regret the inconvenience. Purpose was only "informative".
[Galaxy S II General] ksantoshh:
You can do the nandroid backup from CWM recovery, which will give you anexact image in which the phone was before flashing the New ROM. Else you can use the apps Titanium backup from the market to back apps.

Similar to itunes , you can use kies to backup on your galaxy.,but some ppl have complained that they are not able to recover the backup, so choice is yours.

As for contacts, I prefer storing all my contact on gmail,get sycn everytime i flasha new rom :):)

---------- Post added at 08:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 PM ----------

You are welcome :-):)
[Galaxy S II General] sasha007:
Yeah I've rooted . Should i make an nandroid backup from ROM manager premium .?

Also does titanium backup also backsup settings , contacts , sms etc apart from apps .??

And I also did a backup of everything with Samsung Kies . Are making these 3 types of backup enough .?:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Sounds good to me.

My answers to your questions:

1. Yes, make the nandroid backup from your ROM manager premium app. If you bought this app, you should use it.

With this you have a complete system backup => ROM, kernel, Modem, CSC, system apps and settings.

2. Titanium Backup is focused on (system and user) apps + app data. So it backups only the apps + app data.

3. With Kies you can save all (local) contacts, messages, etc. from your phone to your PC.

So, all together ... I think that it's enough.
[Galaxy S II General] netban:
XWKL1 for my UK International SGSII?

Will that be OK or should I stick with XWKI8 when flashing back to stock?

Any help appreciated :)
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
That will work fine for you.

If you flash the Frankenstein version, you can easily combine the ROM with any other Modem and/or CSC, if you want to use another one than the pre-selected by Intratech.

Good luck !

I only ask because i just found a list of firmwares

thanks matt
[Galaxy S II General] ksantoshh:
@ Matt,

OXA is generic for Europe, But Most of the palces in Intra Post, it seemed to be related to Poland. You may want to get confirmation from other fellow members
[Galaxy S II General] 01binary01:
Seriously guys

can't the 'backup thread' posters go do a search for 'backup'.

And the 'yellow triangle' warning posters do a search or even bother to read the root threads.

The cross contamination of this useful thread with subjects by numpty posters who can't be arsed to read is getting on my tits.

there is a easy way to remove the triangle, first flash your cutom kernl to your device using odin, after first boot the triangle willl show up, then flash the orignal kernl again using odin..now the triangle is gone..,.extract your cutom kernl using winrar or any other extractor to extract the zimage ..put the zimage on your sd card., now openup cwm and choose flash kernl there, point it out the the zimage..kernl cutom kernl will now flash and reboot the phone..triangle is gone and cotum kernl is installed.. work on every costum kernl tried them all ..
[Galaxy S II General] KennyLegend:

Anyway , can a USB jig be used to reset the counter after flashing the KL1 kernel .?

Also is there any way to get the Advanced power menu (with restart) on KL1 .?

hallo, I can't update my csc MultiCSC OLCKL1 CSC package to MultiCSC OLCKL2 CSC package, how to flash it?
[Galaxy S II General] Red_Vex:
From frankestein list

XWKL1

Android 2.3.6

Based on official package

What does it mean?That is untouched version?

I suppose that original XWKL1 doesn't have xxkl1 modem and Csc xeu? also i suppose don't have old bootloader
[Galaxy S II General] alberto888zz:
Confirmed?? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
First there was a XXKL1 ROM version ... de-odexed and only for development/testing.

After the official KL1 version => XWKL1 came out, Intratech changed the KL1 Frankenstein ROM to the one based on the official XWKL1 ROM.

It is still a Frankenstein version, but now odexed and stable.

And the containing parts are listed in Intratech's post:

And as Intratech posted already, all his Frankenstein ROMs have the old bootloader.
[Galaxy S II General] huskysdg:
Hi again, Intratech.

As you must know there's a new realease for our SGS II, the second one with ICS.

Is this release, I9100XXKP8 (CSC OXA) with 4.0.3 ICS an official one? It's for testing purposes or it's fully operative? It's an alpha or a final version?? (it's ICS 4.0.3). That's the reason because you haven't post yet??

I supose you know the answer, as always ;)

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] ParthG:
It's not an official release - that's why it won't be available in this thread.
[Galaxy S II General] ksantoshh:
Yes, You should be able to rest the counter with USB jig as all Latest Intratech's build are with Old Bootloader.

hope this helps!

---------- Post added at 10:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------

Select the Multi CSC file you downloaded from the First post and flash it through ODIN . You can select the file in CSC or PHone section of ODIN.Both will work.

Hope this Helps!

FYI, There's a bug in the Frankenstein KK5 that wont allow me to connect to my corporate wireless using PEAP and Phase 2 authentication (from memory the stosk KK2 was fine). Just keeps rescanning and never connecting. Updating to KL1 fixes it immediately using the same config (without forgetting and reconnecting). I've confirmed this by flashing back to KK5. Although i was supremely happy with KK5, for it's light power drain, i had to go to KL1 which i'm finding is a bit hungrier on the battery...anyone else finding the same. Idle\sleeping seems to be fine (1%/hr) but light usage seems to be draining the battery a rate of knots. Up to 1% every 1-2 mins. was about 2-4+ with KK5. Just basic browsing.

Intra provided a file here in the thread.

You need to replace the one in system\bin folder with this one. Then WIFI also works.

I cannot attach it here from my mobile, but you should be able to find it here with search. Intra posted it right after KK5 was out.

I'm using a Unlocked i9100 on att as well, im currently running cm7.1. The only stock rom ive tried is XXKI3 and it runs great. After reading through the OP i dont see any firmwares that are specific to North America. KI3 is for Poland but it works well.. Can you point me in the direction of a few stock firmwares you have tried and would recommend?

Thanks

Hi Intratech i have just rooted my device for the first time from your first page and all went very well... just a question...

If i add a new Rom will i just add the Rom and the new kernal, or do i have to use insecure and original everytime, sorry if this is a dumb question
[Galaxy S II General] Rinoko72:
Mate, I think your a bit mixed up, flashing anything from this thread will not give you Root..

The thread is call "Official firmware", so your not rooted yet ;)

Jump over to Chainfire's Cf-root thread, flash one of his kernels, the one which matches your fw version, then you will have root..

Make sure you read Chainfire's instructions and you shouldn't have any trouble ;)
[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:
So just flash this.. CF-Root-SGS2_XW_INU_KL1-v5.0-CWM5.zip For KL1 firmware ????????????????????
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Correct.

Only if you don't have a USB Jig and you want to get rid of the yellow triangle (which will be displayed while booting), you have to follow Chainfire's second post of his CF-Root thread.
[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:
I do have a USB jig... So in this case all is fine ?????
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Depends on your bootloader.

If it is the old bootloader, then yes ... your Jig will work fine to prevent the yellow triangle and the increasing of the binary counter.

If you have the new bootloader, then your Jig won't work properly.

If you flashed the XWKL1 ROM from Intratech, then you are lucky, because Intratech uses the old bootloader.

Else you would have to flash the old bootloader (can be found in Intratech's second post) and then use the Jig.
[Galaxy S II General] mbutandola:
It_ler I admire your patience. You take the time to explain basic stuff without losing your temper even though some reading from those coming up with the same questions over and over again wouldn't have hurt them. Intratech's first post is quite informative. He even links to different ways of rooting and getting rid of the yellow triangle. But unfortunately, some will just come over here and just click on "reply " to ask whatever comes to mind. Again I shall congratulate you guys for your support. And thank you to Intratech for his dedication. :)
[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:
Ty yes at the moment im using Intratech, and the old bootloader..
[Galaxy S II General] mbutandola:
I don't mean to offend really but everything you need is in the first post. Everybody needs to start somewhere and we've all been there. But Intratech has taken his time to write a very good and informative guide so that anyone can find whatever they need there. And I think it's showing some respect to at least read it. Besides, I think that finding out things by ourselves helps learn more quickly. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:

[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:
I have read post and i assumed after doing the following procedure i was rooted....

Method 1 works with all firmware version

1. Download an insecure kernel from either Chainfire or Odia's thread. Any version will do so just grab the newest one, it doesn't need to match your current kernel version.

2. Download the stock kernel to match your firmware from below

3. Extract both kernels and remember where you've extracted them.

4. Download SuperOneClick V. 1.9.5. I know there are newer versions but just do what I say.

5. Make sure that your device is in USB debugging mode: Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging.

6. Put your device into download mode. To do so: Turn the device off, then power it on again by pressing and holding VolumeDown + Home + Power simultaneously.

7. Start ODIN. Wait for whatever drivers need to load and for the ID:Com section to turn yellow

8. Click on the PDA section and select the insecure kernel you extracted above. Make sure only Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time is ticked in the options

9. Click on start

10. Wait for it to reboot and then close Odin

11. Start SuperOneClick and don't change anything on the screen. I hope you didn't remove the USB cable but if you did just reconnect it

12. Hit root

13. Allow it to install everything it prompts you to, i.e. SU, BusyBox

14. When it's done just shutdown your phone and remove the USB cable

15. Put it into download mode

16. Start Odin and hit the PDA section and select the stock kernel you downloaded and extracted earlier that matches your firmware version.

17. Connect the USB cable and wait for the ID:Com box to turn yellow.Make sure only Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time is ticked in the options

18. Press start. Let it flash the stock kernel and reboot

19. You're now rooted.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
^ If you did all that then your device is rooted. :)
[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:
LOL after all that Thank You
[Galaxy S II General] sasha007:
So do the official Stock KL1 ROM listed here on page 1 have a new boot loader with which a USB jig can't be used .?
[Galaxy S II General] Rinoko72:
Stock, have the new one, frankenstein the old..

I think it's written some where by the download links.. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] MeX_DK:
Roniko, even the stock roms from Intratech is with the OLD Bootloader ;).
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yeah everything has the old bootloader apart from the carrier firmwares. The only difference between the two bootloader is the binary counter reset routine so I don't get the big palaver about wanting the new bootloader in the firmwares. You're not losing anything by using the old bootloader, in fact you are gaining from using it.

If you want the new bootloader then just download it from the first page and flash it after updating the firmware. I've made sure every option is available to you, all you need to do is take the time to apply them.
[Galaxy S II General] Rinoko72:
Check the first post again mate..

Not All the stock Rom have the old bootloader. There are still some specific carrier fw with the old one..

But after asking what people prefer, Intratech has started using the old bootloader on all the newer Roms.. ;)

Edit: Intratech has spoken, I see..

[Galaxy S II General] sasha007:

So Do you edit every new stock FW with the old bootloader and then upload them .?

Would it be possible to use the same old bootloaders with the new ICS ROM's when they release .? :rolleyes:

[Galaxy S II General] Shadamehr:
[/COLOR]

Thanks - alas it is ALREADY using the correct font - it's just using it in BOLD.

So there is no option for me to change this within the Settings > Fonts option.

Nor do I suspect I could fix this by installing another font pack (unless it includes an option to choose Bold and none bold? If so, what is the default proper font called on a Samsung Galaxy S2 please?

Alas, the problem is not a missing font - it is the ROM using a BOLD font by default.

I dont understand WHY this particular ROM is showing this though, as like I said, it is the default ROM anyway on my partner's phone, but on her phone, the ROM uses the proper standard, none-bold font.

Weird.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
So far all the ICS builds that I've check have used the same bootloader as the GB firmwares so we can use the same bootloader. I cannot say for sure if this will remain the same on the release build but be sure I'll check.

[Galaxy S II General] drigz08:
Thanks for the response.

I have read it a lot of times, I understand that it comes in one package however it did not mention to flash it in pda section.

Now I know the answer. Thanks.

Again still quoting first post :

Hard to be clearer. :)
[Galaxy S II General] drigz08:
That's the reason why I asked. It's not clear because those are separated.

I gave you multiple choice question.

a. pda

b. pit

c. csc

d. modem

One word is what it takes to answer. Why giving yourself a hard time quoting posts or replying long sentences when you can answer in one word?

Answer is pda.

No need to reply from this post about the pda issue. No need to further quote posts, I'm sure you already got my point and my question already answered.

Thanks for answering my previous question. You've been very helpful.
[Galaxy S II General] mbutandola:
Listen. The reason I quote the first post is not because I wanna patronise you or make you feel stupid. It is because you said you read the 1st post and didn't find the answer whereas a closer look would give you the answer. If you've got one file it means it's got everything in it. That's it. Nothing else to worry about. Besides, Intratech always states what's inside.

My point is that the first post is pretty good and an attentive look at it brings all the necessary answers as regard to flashing the rom you want. No offence intended.

Be careful when changing the CSC.
