Samsung hasnt released the driver sources for s2 and now we cant reset flash counter. Is samsung turning into its competitor apple? We'll wait and see.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Stop asking me about samfirmware. I don't know anything about their files. If you want information about samfirmware files go ask samfirmware.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
This is a load of bollocks. There is no second counter, I have flashed my device close to if not more than 100 times. You done goofed is the explanation for your issue.

Hi, guys! Did you see blue overscroll grow in the XXKI3 rom? I dont like it. Any idea how to disable it? Thanks in advance.

I would like to know this also, vibration icon is annoying.

[Galaxy S II General] MichelN:
Strange, because a friend of my came by yesterday and plugged his GSII behind my kies and it said he could update his v2.3.3 to a newer version.

Anyway can i flash my rom (Nordic EEU 2.3.4) to a stock rom ??? i need the dutch one and i wan't to use kies in the future.

Q1. Does the counter start when i flash the current rom to a older built ?

Q2. Can i use Kies in the future ?

Q3. Do i need to flash kernel as well ???

Q4. Do i get a bootloader ?

Ki3

-Blue overscroll on everything is slightly annoying

-the fact that both silent and vibrate icons come up is stupid.

Using widgetlocker:

- 2.3.4 and less: nothing, silent, vibrate

- 2.3.5: nothing, nothing, silent and vibrate

The sound related parts of widgetlocker work as expected, icons display stupid

How to get back the samsung swedish keyboard back

Hi, has flashed the last firmware KI3, but cant get the swedish lang. on the samsung keyboard, has also flashed the KI2 csc from KI4 but nothing, some one can help me please?:mad::confused:
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It doesn't have Swedish language support. I can't recall any XX firmware ever having it only XW.
[Galaxy S II General] serch826:
Thanks but where is the swedish keyboard from ki4?, cause i have the swed. kyb. with this

---------- Post added at 05:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------

The KI4 i dowloaded from sami was XW
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Good to see you answered your own question. :)
[Galaxy S II General] mrjeffery:
Kies air wouldn't work after I installed ki3 non-wipe version. Restored a backup from titanium and it works ok now though.
[Galaxy S II General] MeX_DK:
You can get the newest official KI4 rom, which contains the nordic languages and all that.

Get Gingerbread keyboard from the market. Then you can download the swedish dictionary for it. If you want the official Samsung Keyboard, then you will have to wait for an official 2.3.5 rom from Samsung or go back to the NEE 2.3.4 one (XW_KI4).

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 PM ----------

I dont mind the blue overscroll. I think it looks cool.

But I could do without the vibrate icon to be honest. Had to turn vibrate to "only vibrate" when silet to make it dissapear most of the time. But i need vibrate on, all the time :/.

Infratech, think that is something you might be able to fix, and if not then cheers anyway for supplying roms to us that likes to have the newest version of android.

When making posts like these, you should state the mods u may have added to the rom, you should also state if you tried a Factory Reset or not, as to not cause the cause the barrage of questions that will surely come as to why.......

Hi Intratech,

I want you Roll back to XWKF3 (2.3.3) from KI3 (2.3.5), I flashed your Non Wipe edition of KI3 2.3.5.. I tried flashing the Official Version of XWKF3 but phone went in to boot loop & keeps rebooting... Please help me to Flash back to XWKF3

I need the phone to sent to Samsung Service Center to Claim the Warrenty.

Thats the reason i need to flash it back to XWKF3...Please help me

Thanks

/OFFTOPIC/

Consider the following:

Apple has a patent on overscroll bounce similar to the gallery scrolling patent they used to get an injuction on sgs2 in Germany. Both Google /nexus s/ and Samsung has to find other soultions to work around the problem. So either s2 with overscroll glow or possibly no s2. That blue glow brings Apple vs.Samsung legal battles to everyones screens. Apple will do everything to ruin android user experience to get more people to buy iphones.

[Galaxy S II General] Oat23:
When I connect my GSII to KIES to update the firmware, it is blank for the firmware section and doesn't give me an option to update.

I used to be able to before, but then I started to flash different ROM's, and trying out new beta roms, and now that I'm back to stock XWKE1, it won't show any firmware information. I even checked the about settings and it's all correct.

I also tried XWKE7 as well, and same results. Any help?

I flashed twice, and the CSC does display the EUR CSC when I do *#1234#.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Just flash the CSC from the first page.

Hi Intratech,

There is an official firmware for the Netherlands KI2 XEN available, could you please repackage this with the old bootloader?
[Galaxy S II General] tiggerrdrr:
Would like give intrtech a BIG thumbs up. was worried at first that flashing firmware would give the flash count a +1. but found and it doesnt, awesome guide intra/Dennis
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
So the only new thing in KI3 is overscroll blue effect instead of bounce?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Once more, I don't know about Samfirmware.

I'm uploading the official DBT version as I speak with the old bootloader packaged.
[Galaxy S II General] mmmmbeer:
This has been answered time and time again in here.

If you flash an older firmware over a newer one then you must do a factory reset to get rid of the bootloop.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I'm repackaging it now but I'm a bit worried about the naming convention change and that it seems as if this is from the test server.
[Galaxy S II General] ReeX:
Do the latest KI series firmwares fixed the "genre" bug when listing iTunes/AAC tracks? As of KG5 the "genre" in the music player will show the album name!

May someone check this out?
[Galaxy S II General] hung77:
People in NL receive this update via Kies as an official update
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Ok, It's going to be available soon. The change to CE from XW must have something to do with apple.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Seriously Samsung? You include a big ass demo video in the CEKI2 firmware to increase the size of the package for no important reason?
[Galaxy S II General] hung77:
There was always a demo movie for the NL versions or is this a different one?

Can you also upload the new CSC XEN version as apart tar file?

If i am asking too much, sorry for that :D
[Galaxy S II General] d3l1:
Just read on a german forum that two guys who flashed the DBT KI4 got different CSC after flashing, one had KOR the other had XEF.

how can that be?

btw did any one try to flash the cf-root kernel through the usb jig (usb cable -> jig -> sgs2)? that way the counter should be reset at the end of the flashing process? or will there be data corruption? assuming the new bootloader was installed!

ya even after flashing the csc it doesnt work..(see above post) it comes up and says sales code xeu and then a radio button below it but nothing in the box to select in the radio button and then it says. "must be 3 chars" ..

can someone post the location and csc files zipped up for me.. the problem is they ar missing.. so i can copy them to my system for ki3.. either xeud1 or the stock xai3 thanks a million.. otherwise i will have to do a full flash wipe.

bummer
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
If you couldn't do it do you think i'd tell you to do it?

Unless I state otherwise all firmware are non wipe

created the followig files

system/csc

and system/csc/XEU

and system/csc/XEU/system

and did the 272 code and now it came up in the list to install. and installed it.. off course it didnt really install the csc as there were no files.. and no xml to point it to the correct files.. but dont think there is anything in the csc that i need anyway.. but now it doesnt show unknown csc when i check firmware version.. what are you thoughts an discussin why the csc directory was missing.. in the flash?

mother f^&&**.. now going to reflash the wipe version anyway..

and go back to my sgs i.. till i have a full day to reconfigure the damn phone..

oh wait i have a clockwork mod backup .. any consequences with living with a phone that says unknown csc?

Flashed the wipe version with the old boot-loader; For the first time I am able to make a VPN connection; also like the feature in gmail where you can allow photos to "always show" by default. I'm happy. Not bothered with vibrate bug and also love the blue whatchamacallit effect...lol...

[Galaxy S II General] lgkahn:
not sure what you are talking about. vpn always worked in prior firmwares but only over wifi..

[Galaxy S II General] dglockitt:
VPN working for me over 3g (see screen-capture) whereas it did not work before wifi nor 3g.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I have no idea what you're doing wrong mate. Just download the firmware again and flash it. As long as all your operator features work then there is no problem running the device like that.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Here is an idea for you. Go post it at samfirmware.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It will be in the Carrier firmware thread for Cosmote.
[Galaxy S II General] A_Silva:
I actually like the scroll glow over the bouncy effect, the latter seems to iPhone-y for my taste, and this is heaps better when you want to tap ahead of stuff appearing...

One thing I wanted to run by you people, any of you notice the GPS sync time in 2.3.5 massively improved? I get fixes in 1-2 seconds now, and yesterday using navigation in places where I'd normally lose GPS signal it worked like a charm!

I also think modem stability (especially 3G) has improved as well... oh well, that's my 2 cents

VERY AWESOME BIG cheers to Intratech for keeping the firmwares flowing... :)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
No worries, I'll do that later.:)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I should change my account name on my PC to something else. :p:D
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
For the Germans at www.handy-faq.de slagging off the thread just remember that nobody is forcing you to use it. It's not rocket science to figure out which firmware is for what region and what device. If others can find the version of the firmwares that they want using the current layout why can't you? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] wildoat:
Many thanks Intratech for the hard work - even for a noob like me I have managed to flash the latest ROM and moved to 2.3.5 fine. :)

A_Silva reports gps lock is quicker - cant comment as I haven't checked it with this latest version although it does seem to have progressively improved over the last few firmwares to a point when I just don't notice the delay as a problem (it used to take an age).

I just cannot say the same about the wireless which remains poor cf my wife's HTC Wildfire - its OK but that's it. Is the view that this is a hardware problem rather than a software one?

W.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
No idea about this issue mate. I have had no problem with the WiFi on mine at home or at other places with free WiFi. I think the indicator on the device is a bit misleading in that it shows what appears to be a weak connection but in reality the connection is no worse than what I have on the tablet or other phone. :)

I've got a T-Mobile UK Galaxy S2, just wanted to confirm which is the latest CSC for UK T-Mobile.

Thank you
[Galaxy S II General] orreborre:
Thanks! And just to be sure, I am able to flash an older firmware if something happens to my phone, and they would never know I flashed the "wrong" firmware?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yes but you'll need to reset the counter as well.

Ok, will do.

[Galaxy S II General] wardy:
Intratech , you Sir, are a Star . Thanks for all the updates
[Galaxy S II General] orreborre:
Isn't that just if I flash some non-official firmware, like a custom kernel as an example? Or will the counter go up by flashing this or the older one (official)?

[Galaxy S II General] landerson07:
I'm on o2a well mate and not had any issues with ke2 or ke7!
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yeah only if you flash an unsigned package.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
You can but just be aware that it may not have the carrier settings/customisations for your region.
[Galaxy S II General] blackdem0n:
my galaxy is a nobrand
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
MD5 checksum for XWKE7 added to first post.:)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Well even if it's unbranded different regions have different product code which allows KIES and Engineers to determine which generic firmware to update the device with so that it will have settings for all the service providers in that region.

I think the XEU firmware will work just fine for you as it seems to work for almost everyone here but I am not 100% sure.
[Galaxy S II General] blackdem0n:
ok, thanks... i'll try :D
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
For the people PMing for help, please post in the thread. This way when I'm not here, like in the next few hours, others can help you. Please do read the guides and follow the steps as they are numbered, i.e. do them in the order they appear in the guide, otherwise it doesn't quite work and makes a mockery of writing a guide. :):)

I just installed K7 via Odin to my NEE version. All went good.

Surprisingly CSC stayed as NEE. Nice! Thanks guys and Intra! :)
[Galaxy S II General] svortevik:
Just to be sure I dont do anything wrong, can someone please correct me were I am wrong?

I am going from KE2 with root and want to KE7.

- Download Generic XEU GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWKE7_I9100XXKE4_I9100XEUKD1

- Use Odin to apply the downloaded file

- I am now on KE7 without root, correct?

To get root:

- Start Superoneclick

- Under pda select XWKDD_insecure.

- Can I use the same XWKDD_insecure i used to get root on ke1, or is this a new XWKDD_insecure for ke7?

- I am now on KE7 with root, but will get the warning on boot?

Get rid of warning on boot:

- Download I9100XWKE7_Kernel

- Use Odin to apply I9100XWKE7_Kernel

- I am now on KE7 with root and without the warning on boot?

Is this the correct way to do it, or am I missing something?
[Galaxy S II General] dazmancumbria:
Intratech Quote

The counter will increase if you flash an unsigned kernel so if you root the device using the insecure KDD kernel the counter will increment by one each time you flash that kernel. Using the USB jig will reset it to nil. :)

Would this stop you up dating the firmware up to KE7 ..... ??

Mine is stuck on the KES insecure one :(
