Yes it's stock and it will not trigger the counter.

Flashing some custom roms will increment the counter but I have yet to hear definitive proof that it has any effect on the device as it increases or has a limit.
[Galaxy S II General] maxwarp79:
Now I'm on XWKI8 (downloaded from here and flashed with Odin), if I update firmware to XWJK1 it will wipe my phone? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
No. By default all the firmwares are non-wipe unless I state otherwise in their write up.:)
[Galaxy S II General] reejmond:
Is there already a CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.zip kernel for to download?

Or another way to root ?

EDIT :	CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_KI4-v4.4-CWM4.zip

works great!
[Galaxy S II General] alanchanwl:
Hi,

May i know is it i can flash different CSC in Different ROM package?

For an example, If i install the ZSKI3 ROM package, can i flash the CSC contain in DXKI2?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
No, some say the KI8 CF-Root works for KJ1 rom. I haven't tested this myself though.

Transmitted from a Galaxy far far away via XDA lightspeed telepathy.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Root method on the first page works with all firmware. Use the latest insecure kernel you find, it doesn't have to match the included kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yes, put the ROM tarball in the PDA and the CSC tarball in the CSC sections in Odin and flash one time. I'm going to stop answering this question from here on, it's becoming too tedious.
[Galaxy S II General] maxwarp79:
Thank you! ;)

So, can I flash KJ1 over KI8 without lose anything (apps, settings, ecc...)?

(Excuse for stupid question, but I want to be sure... :D)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yes you can amico, you won't lose settings or apps. :)
[Galaxy S II General] reejmond:
Indeed :)

Hi Intratech,

This might be a dumb question, but is this the 2.3.5 firmware?

Thanks

[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Just in addition:

It works with CF-Root kernel XWKI8 as well !
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
So what seems to be the problem? Is there a question or request you forgot?:confused::confused:

The latest update just made Nemus Launcher even more AWESOME!!!!:D:D
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Thanks Intratech for that, too!

P.S.:

There is a little typo in Frankenstein section:

XWKJ1

Android 2.3.5

This package has: PDA: XXKJ1| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: XEUKH2

This package has PDA: XWKJ1

Just double checked on my phone.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Thank you for spotting that. Fixed it now.:)

My plagiarism has failed!!!:p:p
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Never mind ... I did not want to blame you or spot at a typo.

I saw your PDA information and wanted to change my signature.

But before I just checked on my phone and saw that my signature is correct.

So I just wanted to give you a clue (or cue) to correct the little and not so important miss-spelling (caused by copy&paste ... I think) in your very, very good and correct post ;-)

I am glad that you are on XDA and post such excellent ROM and kernel versions for my phone.

That's why I am having so much fun in flashing (and rooting) my SGS2.

EDIT:

And you are absolutely right. The XXKI3 modem works at least as fine as the XXKI4 modem.

At least for me and my phone and with my provider in my region.

I'm having a bit of a problem and was hoping someone would lend a helping hand.

I have an Indian GSG II that came with stock XWKF3 firmware with android 2.3.3.

I flashed the XXKI3 firmware with the new bootloader and everything worked fine. I decided to flash the old boot loader from this thread and thats when i started to have problems.

When the network mode is either Auto or 3G, my network shows up as Roaming. When left to only GSM, it works perfectly.

Even flashing the new bootloader doesnt help. I even tried the flashing the stock XWKF3 firmware the phone came with in vain. I even tried flashing the indian CSC during various attempts. Nothing helped.

I finally decided to reflash the XXKI3 firmware with the new bootloader i previously downloaded and settle for that.

I would really like someone to help me out because i need to use the old boot loader to reset the binary counter.

I'd like to add that the rooting with Cf-Root and an unmodified XXK3 build causes the network issue as well.

[Galaxy S II General] max621:
Thanks Intratech,

I followed your guide step by step and successfully install the XWKI4.

After that i decided to root the device and for that i downloaded SuperOneClick 2.1.1 and install insecure_XWKDD successfully

and then when i start the SuperOneClick ... it just GOT STUCKED at Step # 6...

I tried several times and even tried on windows xp and windows 7 as well but always freeze at Step # 6...

So what should i do..... use a different insecure kernel or anything else ? or should i try as per your instructions SuperOneClick 1.9.1 ?

Thanks again for the guide....

don't know the root cause of ur situation, but yesterday i faced a problem while doing the fw upgrade. I wrongly put the CSC in the Phone(Odin). But the process showed failed in Odin.

What i did is as below.

Removed the battery from the phone

DID NOT RESTART THE PHONE NORMALLY.

Put the phone into download mode again & redid the installation via odin (all respective files in the right place @ odin!!!)

I got a successful fw upgrade witout any glitches.

I MAY BE WRONG, but try to remove the battery, reinsert it, get into download mode, redo the installation.

Expert suggestions on the issue is always welcome.!
[Galaxy S II General] planetf1:
Thanks again @intratech.

I ended up flashing the KJ1 frankenstein. I then replaced the kernel with CF-root KI8 (to get root), followed by speedmod. The middle step wasn't required, but I had been intending to go with siyah.

Not sure going away from stock kernel is the best idea, but thought I'd try ...

No issues/problems so far, but then hardly used the phone!
[Galaxy S II General] philiplolc:
blardy hell.. scared me for a minute.. but i re-did the whole thing and its ok now..

1. killed odin

2. took out battery, redid the whole thing

3. PC couldn't recognize my device

4. unplugged phone

5. re-installed driver

6. took out battery

7. goto download mode

8. started odin

9. i did 4-8 like hell of alot of times

10. finally uninstalled driver, one last go, and odin recognized my device, sheesh..

Yes you can do a factory reset to fix it. There is a solution to the FC that's posted somewhere in this thread that requires the device to be rooted so you can delete a certain file and will get rebuilt by the device automatically. Have a look around for it.

Could you do me a big favour please? I need to get rid of Can't access to '/system/csc/VAU/system/' error. To do that I need CSC that have 2 options. One for VAU and some other one.

It will be great if you could combine Vodafone Australia CSC with some other one. Thank you in advance.

Wipe version didn't wipe?

I am new to android and I just flashed my phone to 2.3.5 XXKI3 Frankenstein "WIPE" version (Link: http://www.multiupload.com/NJV6PR87Y3) but all my data and apps are intact. How is this possible? Doesn't wipe firmware mean it will factory reset my phone before flashing or am I missing something. Here's what I did:

- Put my phone in download mode

- Open ODIN and chose the file above for PDA and the India KF3 CSC for the CSC

- Connected my phone and flashed

It took like 3 mins and everything seems perfect now. Smooth update to 2.3.5.no issues. I wanted to do a clean fresh install, which is why I chose the wipe version, but why do I still have all my data?

Hello,

This is my first time with a Samsung device (been with HTC for a long time), and I made some reading but not all the needed answers were found. So, if someone can assist or provide a link for assistance, I'll be thankful :).

I successfully rooted my SGS II, which now has the following info (2.3.3 | Baseband I9100XXKG1 | Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100JPKG5 | Build GINGERBREAD.JPKG5), and I have two simple questions:

1. I understand that the first two letter (ex: XX) refer to the country or the region. What does the other three mean (KG1, KG5, KH3, KI4), and what is the difference?

2. With my info provided above, can I update to the quoted firmware (JPKJ2)? I know that JP refers to Arabic so I won't lose Arabic R/W, but it's the KJ2 thing I need to understand.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] sids911:
OK, I was on KI8, I needed to be on Indian official firmware (something to do with my company's requirements) I flashed official KF3 from the first page.

Even then, I am still getting "S/W version in your phone is not an official version. Firmware upgrade of unofficial S/W version is not supported" in Samsung Kies.

Kies shows me PDA:KF3 / Phone:KE4 / CSC:KF3 (ODK)

What gives? Do I have to flash Indian CSC separately? where do I get it?

Edit: Nevermind, I just rebooted the device and it has now taken INU as my CSC and my work is done!
[Galaxy S II General] raffaytarar:
Can anyone please explain to me that what resetting the binary counter part is about and is that necessary to do? Or will everything be okay if we don't do it?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] Rinoko72:
The binary counter counts the number of times an unofficial FW has been installed on a device..

Not resetting it will not effect the every day usage of your device, but it will void your warranty if you have to send your phone in..
[Galaxy S II General] tasty_boy:
this version "XWKJ1'' had Portuguese language??
[Galaxy S II General] raffaytarar:
Thanks for your respose. So its just the warranty issue that I need to worry about if I dont reset the binary counter or is there anything else too?
[Galaxy S II General] ziggyboy:
Yes, just had a look at my KJ1.
[Galaxy S II General] A_Silva:
XWKJ1 does ineed have Portuguese as a language in both the System itself and Swype (the latter is European Portuguese)
[Galaxy S II General] MeX_DK:
I WILL NOT recommend XW_KJ1 to anyone. I tried flashing it and the flashing went fine, but a few hours after that I started experiencing several lockscreen lag and general lag everywhere on the phone.

Pressing the power button till I got the unlock screen took up to 2-3 seconds if not more. Clicking on "Phone" took even longer to open and general was very very laggy. Laggy in the sense my otherwise speedy SGS2 had suddenly been downgraded to the old HTC Wildfire :/.

So I went back to XW_KI8 and everything was nice and right back to speed.
[Galaxy S II General] goldengraham:
Why not use KJ2? Its faster than KI8 and works flawlessly.

GG
[Galaxy S II General] MeX_DK:
KJ2 is NOT European, and has no Nordic support. So thats why.
[Galaxy S II General] ziggyboy:
Hmmm that is strange. 2 days in KJ1 and no problems on my end.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Before posting crap like this I suggest YOU spend the time to find out what it is that YOU'VE done wrong to experience this behaviour. I base my theory that you're the problem and not the ROM on the fact that nobody else who has flash the ROM has experienced this behaviour. Also there is no XW_KJ1 ROM on here so it would appear that you've flash a file you got from somewhere else.

JPKJ2 or xxki4 vs xxki3

Hey guys,

1)whats performance been like for JPKJ2 or xxki4? I'm on xxki3 now, loving the speed and batt life especially...i do want arabic on my phone, however will not sacrifice batt or performance for it - hence my question. are these two updates worth while? chime in your opinions, i'd love to hear em.

2) Your awesome intra, really value your work..

3) thx for recommending nemus launcher, so far it's been kool. however, does this launcher run on top of the stock touchwhiz, meaning my phone is essentially two at a time? trying to grasp an understanding of launchers, and to me it's seems logical that the firmware is still stock, so somewhere it is still running the background with only a new skin on (in this case, nemus).

thanks to everyone contributing and I hope I did not break any rules, or post in the wrong place.
