@Intratech, I installed the one below but the CSC is not XEU but ODK. Nothing else

Can you tell me which one to use for XEU

Edit: Also tried CPW but also gives ODK

Try a different modem.

[Galaxy S II General] aceofclubs:
You could reflash your old firmware or just try flashing different modems to see if you get improved coverage.

Some modems in this thread.

[Galaxy S II General] SirRomie:
I'm not sure how to change the modem or much about it in general. I can change the csc but won't it wipe my data?

---------- Post added at 08:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 PM ----------

I don't have root. Can this be done without root needed?
[Galaxy S II General] aceofclubs:
You can flash modems through Odin but most I've seen on here are already to download using cwm.

I'd root using one of the cfroot kernels that match your firmware then flash modems that way.

Also root will help you out heaps with backup and restore using cwm and titanium backup. A must if you are flashing around.
[Galaxy S II General] SirRomie:
Is there a way to restore my phone to factory settings, the way it came? Flashing can get pretty damn complicated when you need to do a bunch of things to get it to work properly. I don't mind waiting for updates, can anyone give me advice...? This is very frustrating.

There is a link to carrier branded firmware in the 1st post.

Download the one you need if it's there and flash via Odin.

Your device should then be stock as you bought it or updated it via keis. No root no cwm etc

Have you ever heard about Check Fus Downloader? Pretty fast!!!

[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Many questions ... but I try to give some answers.

1. You can flash a new ROM (full firmware) as well as new modem (part of the firmware responsible for network and mobile connection) without having a rooted device.

2. If you want to update your phone's firmware, you should use Odin and the latest ROM found in this thread => second post for stock (officially from Samsung) or third post (Frankenstein -> manually combined using different parts for being usable for others).

3. Intratech's version of ROMs are always non-wipe, except he explicitly wrote "WIPE" next to it.

I always try to use non-wipe versions to have less work with restoring my personal settings, but sometimes (if there are problems with some apps), I have to wipe cache partition. That could be done in recovery mode and does not wipe your phone - only the cache.

Maybe too many options.

So, I recommend for you to use the following ROM from third post (Frankenstein section):

XWKI8, Android 2.3.5, This package has: PDA: XWKI8| Modem/phone: XXKI4| CSC: XEUKH2

As this is now the latest version and there is no equal stock ROM available for your region.

=> Download this exe file, extract it using 7zip to a tar file. Follow Intratech's description in first post, so this tar file has to be put into PDA section of Odin.

(Wait with flashing until you have read the next section.)

This ROM already contains English (UK, US) and Frensh ... one of this could be OK for you.

There is an individual CSC package for Canada Bell/Virgin BMCKG2 CSC underneath it.

If this sounds familiar to you (is this your current carrier?), then you should download this package - same procedure as with the ROM from above. The resulting tar file has to be put into CSC section of Odin.

Now you are ready to update your phone.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II General] ManMOuntain:
Getting random reboots with KI8. It's a shame as apart from that it seems an excellent ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] Cladon:
After flashing you should "Wipe data/factory reset" and "Wipe Cache partition” from Recovery Mode.
[Galaxy S II General] jr866gooner:
Power off phone, hold middle button volume up (or down-its one of the two!) and hold the power button all at once.this will enter the menus to select factory reset or wipe. It will show words to that effect...

In the time Ive had my gs2 Ive updated the firmware 3 times using this thread. Never had any trouble with my phone at all and always had good battery life. Ive never done a factory re set after using odin or cleared and data yet my phone works well. My girlfriends on the other hand was littered with bugs. bad battery random resets the lot. Ive loaded the same firmware as mine each time yet the problems continued. We did a factory re set over a week ago now and no problems so far. just wondering is there a reason why my phone has never needed a re set? Should I do one anyway even though its working fine? Just seems odd that two of the same device running the same firmware versions could behave so differently.

Its not a problem Id just be interested to know.

im trying to upgrade my galaxy s2 with cyanogen mod with ODIN problem is when i unpack the file i cannot find the .tar i have 3 files ....META-INF ..SYSTEM AND BOOT.IMG. what am i doing wrong? any help will do ..
[Galaxy S II General] Cladon:
Seems that you have unpacked the .tar file! Those file you mentioned are located inside the .tar file! Just put the .tar file in PDA section of ODIN and flash it!
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Did you even bother to read the instructions in the CyanogenMod thread on how to upgrade?

Can I find XXKI3 with the new bootloader anywhere? Or doesn't it have any advantages to use the new one? I do not need to reset the binary counter at present time.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
I do not know any advantage of the new bootloader.

The ROM version from SamFirmware.com has it.

Go there, download and flash I9100XXKI3 (CSC - OXAKI3), but remember ... it is a wipe version, so backup everything important before flashing this ROM.

I would prefer Intratech's non-wipe version (with old bootloader) ... but it is your choice.

Flashed official firmware XWKI8 from the first post and now I have in Settings>About phone written at Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI8-CL616395root@DELL149 #2

[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I think this one has been answered about 13 times on the forum. It means the user was logged on with the root account on workstation named DELL149 on which the kernel was compiled.

If you have Busybox it from your previous installed firmware which was rooted.

Hey! Chill sir, thanks for the patience any way,

I read the first page well before. But as the release say in FUS that its on 8th of oct, i doubted whether its a different Kernel with new version android

I wanted to confirm whether A particular kernel/firmware release like xwki4 will always have same android version or not?

Like in this case, if its a 2.3.5 release will it to be new firmware like KI5 OR KI6 for that country or region? or same firmware KI4 will be released with new android version.

Hotspot settings after flashing XXKI4/KI8

I flashed XXKI4 yesterday. Shortly after I noticed that whenever I would change the settings for the Wifi Hotspot, the Network SSID would revert to AndroidAP and the password would be reset and randomly generated after I exit the menu.

[Galaxy S II General] kshting:
Hi, NEE is the official release that Kies would recognize, but not the Frankenstein package.

In a way, yes, the frankenstein package is taken from the official release but repackaged with a different CSC due to users' request I believe.

I flashed to KI3 from a stock KG1. Anyway now when i try to go back to the OPTUS KE7 Carrier frimware before i take it back due to fault. After the flash is successful though odin, The phone seems to be installing stuff. It will freeze at "install applications" then it will go into a boot loop between the samsung start up an optus logo.

I'm not sure what to do? I can re-flash to Stock KI3 fine.

Also the issue with the phone is that the micro usb adapter seems to be not working, It will tell me something is plugged in when not when trying to charge and visa versa?

Any ideas would be great or am i missing something simple??

[Galaxy S II General] timberwolf60:
If you wanted to change for different CSC. Downloading CSC SELECT from market. Choosed one which suit you. Back up your data first because the system will be wipe due to changing of csc.

[Galaxy S II General] pedrolopes665:

[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
You'll need to do a factory reset from recovery after flashing if you're downgrading
[Galaxy S II General] mbutandola:
It seems that the CSC is different from the product code. I had the same issue when I flashed the frankeinstein KI3 version. My product code would still show KOR even though I had changed the CSC. Fortunately I had an efs backup and was able to recover my original product code.
[Galaxy S II General] akbarhash:
The issue being discussed here is true. After flashing the product code does change sometimes to KOR but that is nothing to worry about. It does not change how your device works. You can still connect to the internet. Then what is the problem.

[Galaxy S II General] mbutandola:
Phone works yes. But don't know if it doesn't matter to the customer service. Just wanna play it safe here in case my phone stops working for some reason as we keep flashing roms.

I'm not as knownledgeable as you regarding the matter :). I wish you would tell me how to do it. I know you could spoof it with some apps in the market but changing it, from what I hear involves some terminal emulator codes or adb shell which I don't master just yet (learning). So, as I had my efs backup, I just restored my product code.
[Galaxy S II General] Urimagination:
WOW it worked thank you so much! just out of curiosity is this needed to be done every time you want to downgrade? An how come you have to do this?

Would love a better understanding so if i see other people post this i can help them
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yes, restoring the efs backup will restore it. I think what has changed when you flash is your device sales code not the product code.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Compatibility with the data appears to be the issue. It's fine updating but back dating seems to have the bootlooping issue.
[Galaxy S II General] Urimagination:

I have a sgs2 purchased in the UK, I am on Telstra-.it is an I9000, no 't' in it.

I am having weak 3g voice signal strength and I want to try the modem.bin file from a Telstra firmware. I am on the Touch Power XKWI8 based ROM, which I am happy with (same reception on the stock that came with it-I am in a weak signal area, but haven't had this problem with a HTC desire or motorola defy).

Does anyone know where I can find the Telstra modem.bin file, and will that actually be compatible with the ROM I am using?

If not, is there another ROM our another method I can try. I have spent hours searching and my brain is melting.

Could you enlighten me here?

What I noticed after flashing the XEF CSC (I will never thank you enough for providing us with all these files) was that typing the *#272*imei# combo would return KOR while *#1234# would confirm that my CSC was indeed XEF. SpoofFW would tell me that my product code was KOR.

After restoring the efs, all was back to normal. I've attached a screenshot so that you can see what I mean :)

These packages have the new bootloader removed and repacked with the old ones so you can safely reset the binary counter with a Jig. :)

If you've already flashed a full package from elsewhere and cannot reset your binary counter using the Jig just flash this package in the PDA or Bootloader (Yes both will work) section of Odin to replace the bootloaders and then you can reset the counter:http://www.multiupload.com/LQQBRQVJUD
