[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
What mods did you have installed? I flashed b0.2 over b0.1 on my device just fine with no issues.

Did you update flash before installing GA3?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PakaPakaxz:
Thank you very much Ririal ! :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] schwann:
Yeah I did. I updated all system apps before applying GA3 (Just edited my previous post actually). Also, the hack stops working. Can't watch hulu on Miren anymore and its set to desktop mode. Any way to get it back?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Very odd. I updated to 10.3 before installing and it's worked pretty well so far. To get it back, I would just uninstall flash, reinstall fresh, then manually copy the libraries over.

Strange, none of those sound like something that would cause a softbrick like that. I'm not familiar with the Hebrew fix and what it all does, but installing GA3 should replace all the standard /system/app APKs when it gets installed. The theme could have been doing something odd that caused the hiccup.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] schwann:
Sorry to be a pain, but this is beyond my knowledge at this point. What are the libraries and where should they be copied to? Can I just apply Gladiatrix 3 again or would that screw things up?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Nah not a pain, no worries. You form coherent questions, so I don't mind helping ;)

If you haven't installed any other mods on top of GA3, you can just get Flash 10.3 installed, and install GA3 again. If I get a chance today, I might throw together the flash fix as a separate addon since it's causing issues for some users.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Moonshield:
Thanx man for the quick responces,

Nevermind about the weird behavior. I guess that the b0.2 is the combination of the b0.1 and the GA3, so I dont think there is something missing. I replaced the theme, and later today I will try to flash the b0.2 again, without wipe, unless you hint me about the next release :D

Great mod!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Nah no new releases today. I'm testing a few more things but I won't have time to finalize them today, and I'm absolutely exhausted so I'll be passing out soon as I'm home from work :P

There are some keyboards like gingerbread keyboard, android keyboard. I choose

[Galaxy S II General] kersey:
Just to let you know I've connected to Kies and it's notified me there's an update available - PDA: KE1 / PHONE:KDJ / CSC:KD1 (XEU).

Not sure if this will get rid of root but am sure after we flash this new update if we flash the unsecure kernel, root and then reflash this latest kernel things should be ok.

Can anyone help in telling me where the downloaded update can be found and how to extract the zimage of the new kernel??

Can't try at the moment though as am getting ready for work :(
[Galaxy S II General] risq:
What are you on at the moment, Version wise? A UK firmware or another country version?
[Galaxy S II General] nintendolinky:
There is an update, im currently on UK generic firmware:

PDA:KDD, PHONE:KDH, CSC:KD1 (XEU)

The update is:

PDA:KE1, PHONE:KDJ, CSC:KD1 (XEU)
[Galaxy S II General] Rytkonen:
I am just starting the update through Kies. My phone is NEE and from Finland.
[Galaxy S II General] rdy2go:
How to change sales code back to XEU, it got changed to SEK
[Galaxy S II General] kersey:
I'm currently on PDA:KDD / PHONE:KDH / CSC:KD1 (XEU)
[Galaxy S II General] risq:
Wahey!

Updating now....and my phone is now at 1.5GHz too.....lovely jubly.
[Galaxy S II General] maddoguk:
Will wait to see if root is available.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
updating now
[Galaxy S II General] valdigre:
Should you be automatically notified about new update, when connecting to Kies, or there is some "Firmware update" option in it (I can't find it anyway)?

I have currently the same firmware as kersey before his update, however Kies does not notify me about any new firmware (I have currently 33% of battery, don't think it's that smart to notice that and not give me the option to update?).
[Galaxy S II General] eitama:
What about the Bootloaders, Maybe Locked??
[Galaxy S II General] turt:
Do you have to backup all your settings and applications? Or are they automatically restored after the upgrade?
[Galaxy S II General] AXIS of Reality:
Is there a change-log of way to find out what the changes are in this firmware?
[Galaxy S II General] DocRambone:
This new firmware is the I9100XEKE1?
[Galaxy S II General] MrPilipo:
Looks like it, but with XEU CSC.

When can we expect odin package to be available?
[Galaxy S II General] risq:
In Kies it should automatically find the update. Its not until you download the update it will say battery too low. Charge now. So..yeh.
[Galaxy S II General] turt:
I'm also currently on UK generic with the same information as you in Kies, but there is no update for me...

What's your Kies version?
[Galaxy S II General] beppez82:
+1
[Galaxy S II General] kersey:
I connected my phone and clicked 'check for update' in Kies and then it informed me of the new firmware.

Same here with low battery (43%) so am going to fullly charge in work ready for this evening, which by then hopefully we'll know if it can be rooted and the kernel reflashed :p
[Galaxy S II General] afilopou:
I flashed the insecure kernel in order to root it. Is this going to be a problem updating through kies?

Thanks

@kersey you have the insecure kernel and kies gave you the update?

[Galaxy S II General] Eddiedk:
No update for me...

The good thing is that my phone is recognized, and KIES tells that an update is ready, but...

No matter what i do, my computer still stops with the "DLL"-error. I tryed running KIES as administrator, and unplug and restart the phone and wait for KIES to recognize it... but no matter what i do, it stops at the "DLL can't be loaded"-error. By the way - by downloading KIES again, it told me that a update for KIES was ready, and i was trying to avoid the update as told earlier, but KIES refused to update (or rather TRY to update) the phone, until after i updated KIES - so i have reinstalled KIES, but no luck!!

So what now???????

What a #/¤/#/¤/& bastard program - my HTC was such an ease to upgrade, but this is just (deleted)... :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] tameracingdriver:
Same here with KIES.

Same problem on a different PC last year with the SGS1.

KIES = Total and utter POS.

Its easier to do it the unofficial way.

Thanks to the poster above who gives an excellent guide how to do it. About to try and do it that way now. I've just tried 5 times with KIES without success.
[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:
Im not really up on computers or rooting and stuff but i was looking at this post and just checked something on google and found this not sure if this will help as my \firmware upgrade today worked perfect, however i hope this helps.

http://www.windowsanswers.net/articles/fix-dll-errors?tid=dllgooguk
[Galaxy S II General] CEPi:
Same here 4-5 times tried, nothing works. At least Keis should save the firmware locally and not download it 5 times from scratch. Will try manually. Thx mujja.
[Galaxy S II General] tameracingdriver:
Indeed, that really is irritating. I've just done it first time with mujja's guide. Took me about 5 minutes to download and extract the files, then 2 minutes to flash. Much easier.
[Galaxy S II General] SBS_:
For those having trouble with DLL fail, I had the same and was stuck for a couple of hours constantly trying to update it (normal way, emergency flash way etc). Thought I had downloaded the correct version of kies (from samsung UK's website) and nothing worked and it was royally pissing me off.

The solution for me was to uninstall Kies (for the 5th time...) and download it from this link:

http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/m...softwaremanual.do?page=MOBILE.SOFTWARE.MANUAL

After I had installed that version I connected my phone and presto, it worked just fine.

Worth a try if you're having troubles at least, I know I was reaching the limits of my patience (had already downloaded Odin and the firmware ;))
[Galaxy S II General] mobilemaduk:
ISSUES

I cant seem to upload. Updated Kies and running on windows 7 32bit and i get this error. Anyone any ideas???
[Galaxy S II General] SBS_:
Right-click on the short-cut and run Kies as Administrator.
[Galaxy S II General] L03Vik:
Seeing that you is also norwegian... Does this update fix the Locale bug?

On my (not updated) phone, when I choose Norwegian language, Samsung sets locale to no_NO, and menus etc becomes norwegian.

BUT every other apps (Gmail, Facebook etc) uses nb_NO as norwegian locale, and therefore still displays the english version of the app.

If I use MoreLocale 2 from Market to set Locale to nb_NO manually, all apps (supporting norwegian) displays in Norwegian, BUT then all the Samsung menus and apps defaults to english, because the expect the no_NO locale :-(
[Galaxy S II General] twigggs:
I was going to try the ODIN method. I noticed something new from the i9000 I have. It prompts me about installing a custom ROM and I have to press volume up to confirm. Then the phone shows up in ODIN but it wont flash....

I don't see anyone else mentioning the whole confirmation step. I have flashed my i9000 many times, am I missing something here?
[Galaxy S II General] twigggs:
This worked for me as well but I am still curious about the ODIN issue I had above.
[Galaxy S II General] SBS_:
No, the locale bug is not fixed. If it had been I guess I would've written about it on diskusjon.no :p
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Uninstall KIES from control panel and then manually download KIES from Samsung's website and install it again. Seems the automatic update within KIES screwed up the application.

Also you can go to my thread to download and install the firmware using Odin
[Galaxy S II General] dan13l:
Kies really does appear to be a massive heap of dung.

Half the time it won't recognise the phone, the other half of the time it manages to do a backup and then tells me the phone's been disconnected.

Utter drivel. I love the phone, but Kies is almost enough to make me stick it on ebay.

If I go the Odin route, won't that unbrand the O2-ness? Would rather avoid that at this stage for warranty reasons. Also - will Odin wipe the device, or does it only update the non-user installed bits?

(not an android noob, but not terribly experienced with Odin as a flashing tool, hence the questions, cheers!)
[Galaxy S II General] Shocky2:
No update available for me, it's not even detected my current firmware.

:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
No, if you use the O2 firmware it will remain O2... just use the right firmware.

If you don't repartition and the firmware is non-wipe then the update will be non-destructive. The current KE1 firmware is non-wipe.
[Galaxy S II General] L03Vik:
Have you rootet your phone?

I thought... Doesn't the folders with the language files contain the locale-id? If so, maybe a solution would be to copy the no_NO folders and name the new ones nb_NO...

But of course, best thing would be if Samsung could fix it!

Is there a thread for it on Diskusjon.no? If so we could spam Samsung with mails about this bug... I don't think they would care much if they just recieved 3...
[Galaxy S II General] SBS_:
No, I haven't rooted and I was just talking about the general Samsung Galaxy SII thread.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] Shocky2:
K, after restarting the phone the update became available, are you guys doing factory resets after updating or this this not needed?
[Galaxy S II General] Mujja:
Update it manually through Odin. If Kies can't detect your current firmware then it won't give you the update.
[Galaxy S II General] Mujja:
Not needed but if you don't have much to backup / restore then it's always worth it.
[Galaxy S II General] Gede:
Ok updated.

But not after disabling Norton Internet Security. It deleted a "suspicious" behaving program, actually busy updating the phone..... :(
[Galaxy S II General] CEPi:
Thanks buddy. It worked with this version. Silly from Samsung to have so many versions of Keis to download.

Just provide an .exe file like good old HTC and forget this bloatware of Keis.

Hey guys,

I'm really sorry for this noob question but I'm new to android:

I've rooted my device according to the thread in the dev section. Worked like a charm. If I flash this version now, will all of my files/apps/etc be wiped? Will it add/restore the apps that usually come with the phone (bloatware, samsung-specific stuff)?

Thanks a lot.

[Galaxy S II General] monkley:
I wanted to report back that I had to pull the USB and then the battery as nothing was happening. After a bit of panicking, I decided to switch to odin as recommended in this thread.

I was able to flash the new firmware with odin but my phone would not boot! It got stuck at the Samxing Galaxy SII logo. I was thankfully able to flash back the to the original, older firmware and then my phone would boot again.

Does anyone know why I can't boot with the newer firmware?

(This is an O2 contract phone)
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Does anyone know why I can't boot with the newer firmware?

Bad flash reflash wrong files used to flash .

Kies download problems = PC Firewall or AV .

I will download again and try anew, although I guess I should just go for the newer KE2 firmware now
[Galaxy S II General] Wazzamatazz:
Well I've just had my first experience of upgrading a Samsung phone and it has to be said: it wan't great. Unfortunately my default Windows "box" is actually a VMware VM running on a MacBook Pro. Everything went tits up in Kies on the VM when the phone rebooted into Download mode so in the end I had to find a spare Windows laptop.

Coming from an HTC I have to say I was surprised that the update wasn't available OTA in Settings > About phone > Software update. Is this normal for Samsung updates? I'm disappointed if I'm going to have to dig out a Windows machine every time a new firmware appears :(
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
No OTA update for Samsung .

Kies which is a poor software or unofficial method via Odin .

[Galaxy S II General] Plonker:

[Galaxy S II General] scottishlad80:
Not the best firmware update experience. Took 12 attempts before I ended up uninstalling Kies and reinstalling it. Then I got the DLL error but luckily the emergency firmware option on Kies did the trick in the end and it updated to the latest version. I'm on O2 contract :confused:

samsung are useless mate about doing changelogs on updates they dont even have it on the website not like htc does that updates are available

[[In order to be able to download the updates, users will have to hook their phones to Samsung’s Kies App. As of now, the updates are only visible on the Kies App, since the built-in tool is unable to trace the updates.]]

damn idiots they ruin it
[Galaxy S II General] anthonymiskin:
I just turned on my laptop and was notified straight away that a update was available for the GS2 without even starting kies.

I started the kies program connected my phone via cable and did the update without problems , Took no longer than 10mins . I cant see any noticable changes in the phone or maybe i just dont know what to look for.

baseband version I9100XXKDJ
