Dialing such number shows up the following PCode:

GT-I9100LKLXEF

Remember that the present ROM of the phone is Simple & Clean v2.4. I don't know if flashing different ROMs changes this code... and I've flashed several...

---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 PM ----------

@intratech: To summarize it all up (I feel I've not explained myself): I have a SGS2 bought in Uruguay from carrier Claro. After a short doubt, I flashed several ROMs. I didn't keep much information about the original one, but I could put my hands on another one to extract original details. These are them:

PDA: I9100UHKG7

BASE BAND: I9100UHKG4

CSC: I9100UVCKG2

I have read somewhere that original PCode could be GT-I9100LKLCTU, but can't confirm. I have flashed the Simple & Clean v2.4 ROM, so now details of my SGS2 differ from that ones (actual PCode is GT-I9100LKLXEF)

I would like to get that original ROM, just in case I need to take it to service.

Hope is all clear now...

Hi guys,

I want to flash a stock ROM on an unlocked, unbranded, UK, S2.

Will that one from the second post be correct? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
I'd suggest you update to one of the later firmwares, KK2 or KK5 maybe.

Definitely at least KI3. ;)

UK

Hi,

I am looking for an latest stock Samsung Official ROM for the UK (XEU) that is available or compatible with 'Kies'.

Currently I am on:

PDA:KI4 / PHONE:KI1 / CSC:KH1 (CPW)

Stock ROM.

Can someone point me to the right direction?

Many thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] gorillaCF:
hey it worked perfectly! the app showed that i'm 'linked' to a north america satellite. so i changed it according to the xda gps thread, and it worked. thank u very much!

yup the first time was abit longer den usual, after that its super fast and smooth. thanks!

KK5 worked perfectly for me :)

btw, a general question to everyone. do u guys use any batt saving apps, like JuiceDefender? the app seems to be the culprit in draining my batt. just hoping for some opinions here.
[Galaxy S II General] jaromire:
Hey where do you get Android 2.3.7 itox? Thanxs for the clarification Intratech regarding the difference of the SGS2 model. SGS2 have a better gps reception compare to the previous model, most of the time I've got 5m accuracy while my Garmin Nuvi 3970v is 3 meters accuracy. Quite close. Only if they have Garmin Mobile for Android.

@intratech: Man, I just found not only my original Claro/Uruguay ROM, but also a standalone CSC pack for it. So my problem is already solved. Thank you very much for your help. I'm still trying to know about a safe unlocking method, ok ? Cheers !
[Galaxy S II General] alexistkd:
Hello i have a question im confused if i press *#1234# that info its the stock kernel etc that came with my phone at the beginning? before i flash it with checkrom? i want to reflash back to stock my phone from 0 unrooted, to learn how do it just in case
[Galaxy S II General] e_0234:
To unlock your phone you need root access, if your android version is 2.3.5 or lower, try the quick root guide posted by intratech in the first page, if you have 2.3.6 installed you will need to flash a kernel or downgrade... Be sure to make a backup of your /EFS folder using adb or root explorer and keep it in a safe place.

The go to market, search for sgs unlock and voila! Keep the info that program gives you, and insert a different sim card and type the numbers generated.

After you are done don't forget to donate to the developers that made this possible...

Just go to settings > About Phone and there you will find all of the info you need... If you have already flashed another rom, try to look for your carrier branded one at intratech's post
[Galaxy S II General] GDF01:
Newbie question, I just updated to KK5 from 2.3.3 about 20 mins ago and everything seems fine .Is a factory reset really necessary after an update or seeing that everything seems fine I should just leave it as is. I would like to not have to set up everything over but if it is better to reset ,I will. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
If everything is working without issues then u got nothing to worry about.

Quick question: I am on CM7 and I want stock rom back..do I have to wipe cache,wipe rom like when I am installing custome roms? ANd what is a wipe rom and a no wipe rom?
[Galaxy S II General] ParthG:
You have to completely wipe.

If you use CWM the best way to do this is to format: /system, /data, and /cache. Wipe Dalvik Cache. Flash stock ROM using Odin. Done.

A wipe ROM is one that will wipe your data when you flash it. A non wipe ROM is basically like any other firmware upgrade; it won't deliberately wipe your data.
[Galaxy S II General] rrchad:
Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] :
In the meantime I retried KK5 frankenstein package, and evrything except one thing works great.

I can still not connect to our company WLAN. The WLAN is using certificate authentication via TLS.

Can anyone confirm this issue on KK5 or is something wrong on my installation.

Same WLAN settings work on XWKI8 and XWKI4 (SGSII) as well as on my Nexus S.

From where I can get serbian csc file.. Is it included here? TY...
[Galaxy S II General] buBleZ:
I downloaded this firmware and loaded it through ODIN. My baseband version remains as KE4 instead of KE7 as mentioned above. Why it is not getting updated?
[Galaxy S II General] SaneinOne:
IMHO don't concern yourself with that and just flash to KK2/KK5.
[Galaxy S II General] planetf1:
I'm currently using kk5, but am very interested in what you see ads the key differences and where KK2 is better.

My main issue to date has been a few lockups though currently I'm putting that down to a particular speedmod build.

[Galaxy S II General] rustyx3:
I noticed a new "feature" in KK2 - Screen brightness seems to be automatically increased when in the Browser.

Did anyone else notice this? I do have brightness auto-adjust (depending on ambient level) on, but all other auto-adjusts are Off.
[Galaxy S II General] planetf1:
You did know the browser has it's own brightness setting? You would need to set that too
[Galaxy S II General] rustyx3:
oops :D

thanks. all sorted out now.

getting auto resets

Im on kk5 and notice that the phone is auto reseting at least onece a day, does anybody has a solotion for this
[Galaxy S II General] fulham:
Upgraded from XXKG6 to XWKK5 using mobile odin (because I couldn't get the PC to recognize my device despite all the tweaks suggested on different forums).

It flashed smoothly

The phone showed:

Android version:2.3.6

Build number: Gingerbread.XWKK5

Kernal Version:2.6.35.7-I9100XWKK5-CL754841

The baseband version was still: I9100XXKG6

Reflashed & did both factory reset+ wipe cache.

Now the baseband showing KK5.

However, the sound is quite distorted right from the device boot up.

Music files also sound distorted.

Despite it prompted me to set up the google account from the scratch, I was surprised to see my old wall paper still being there when the device showed the usual screen after the completion of the setup!

Do I need to reflash or just another hard reset?

Which is the most effective way of factory resetting?

I did the volume up+home button+ power on.

Also, I am still unable to get connected to PC.

Please help.
[Galaxy S II General] mbutandola:
Did you do a full wipe? Always safer when changing firmwares to minimise the chances of your phone acting funny. Even more so if you came from 2.3.5.

I'd suggest a factory reset now. For your apps & data, titanium backup is your friend.
[Galaxy S II General] mbutandola:
Hi,

Do you have Kies on your pc? If not download it to get the drivers.

As for the baseband, it shouldn't read KK5. There's no such baseband. I'd suggest you flash the firmware again then, if you can download from your mobile, try and find a flashable zip file of the one you'd like on here. Then a factory reset to clean all that up.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Do a full wipe (factory reset), that should help.

[Galaxy S II General] buBleZ:
I upgraded from Indian KF3 to Netherlands KK2. I haven't did a factory reset or wipe cache. Is it necessary to do it? If yes where do I do the wipe and what type of wipe?
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
It's really only necessary if you are having issues after updating your firmware.

Communicated from a Galaxy far far away via an XDA premium neurotransmitter while DJ'ing on The Enterprise. :D
[Galaxy S II General] fulham:
Yes, I have kies already on my pc.

However, the phone is not being recognized.

So, I used mobile odin.

Now after 3rd time flash, the baseband version is I9100XXKI4.

Is that OK?

Also, how to fix this sound distortion issue?

It is really really bad.

Is there a tweak to fix it or you think the flashed firmware is faulty?
[Galaxy S II General] aniyuth:
urgent official firmware 2.3.3

required official firmware for samsung galaxy s2 i9100 purchased in india.

want the official version of 2.3.3 gingerbread I9100XWKF3_I9100DDKE4_I9100ODDKF3 along with phone and csc files too. please help me urgent
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Baseband/Phone/Modem is XXKI4 for official XWKK5 ROM - that is correct !

To get a better sound, try to adjust the different volume levels and reboot the phone again.

That is what I have done and the sound distortion issue is now gone on my phone.

Good luck !

If you cannot find it in any xda thread, than you should have a look at Check Fus Downloader.

You can download it here => http://fus.nanzen.se/

Start the windows application on your PC and you will see on first tab "Standard" on the right side "choose a firmware".

Choose "Android", then your phone (GT-I9100) and then your region (India).

After selecting push the "Check firmware" button and you will see the latest officially released firmware version for your phone in your region.

Just click "Download" to download this firmware from official Samsung servers.

Good luck !

[Galaxy S II General] stBlueJay:
Hey jje thanks for helping (again ;p)

Yeh i think i re-flashed the O2 KEW2 Firmware

I9100XWKE2_I9100XXKDJ_I9100O2UKE1.tar :D

Is that the reason it removed root access and i couldn't reapply root using SuperOneClick?

So to get rid of the yellow exclamation on reboot what should i do... other than read the last 50 pages :D

I'm assuming i have to flash an WKE2 kernel?
[Galaxy S II General] 3waygeek:
It did for me a couple hours ago.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Are you sure you didn't flash the whole firmware? If you just flashed the kernel that root would still be intact. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Read the first post, the part where it says root guide. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Foxdraed:
Hey guys, I rooted a device for the first time in my life XD My heart was beating so fast but everything went according to plan by following intratech's instructions! Now i have my device rooted with the latest firmware (XWKE7) and kernel (to remove the yellow triangle) installed

Now since this is my first time for me that I rooted a device, can you please give me some advice?

So first of all while i was using SuperOneClick to root, I wasn't asked whether to install busybox. Is there another way to get it or do I have it without even knowing? What does busybox do?

Another question is what apps do you think I should install now that i have a rooted phone?

My last question is that I have got an App called Super User. I know I might sound like an idiot but what does it do?

Thanks for the plethora of information in this thread guys =)
[Galaxy S II General] stBlueJay:
hehe i'm sure you've changed it :rolleyes:

So i basically reflashed the O2 KE2 firmware (I9100XWKE2_I9100XXKDJ_I9100O2UKE1)? Doh!

....and what i really need to do is flash this: I9100XWKE2_StockKernel.tar

So this will leave the root access intact and remove that nasty yellow exclamation mark on reboot. And after this i will have to update via odin?

Thanks for your help guys much appreciated.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yeah, I've changed it by making parts of it bold for emphasis.:)

Rooting will not stop you from updating via KIES as long as you're using an official firmware package for your device. Obviously if you prefer to use Odin you can.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yes you should install Busybox. BusyBox combines many UNIX utilities into one package. SuperUser is used to manage use rights for apps requiring root priviliges. You can allow or deny these apps root access using superuser.
[Galaxy S II General] Shocky2:
KE7 Kernel.zip gives errors and won't extract, not even asking for the password. :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] Foxdraed:
Use 7zip to extract the ke7 kernel :-)
[Galaxy S II General] Foxdraed:
Thanks for your quick reply =)

From where can i get busybox? I tried searching it on android market and couldn t find it :P Sorry if that sounded a bit noobish :P
[Galaxy S II General] stBlueJay:
Cheers Intratech... i'm assuming that even though i have rooted my phone if i re-flash a stock KE2 kernel i will still have an official firmware package?
[Galaxy S II General] Taskman:
Just wanted to say thanks for an excellent guide.

I have already rooted the phone 3 times with this guide and it has worked just perfect.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yes you will.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
SuperOneClick will install it for you if you do it right. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Did you read the bit in bold about the kernel archive under the root guide?
[Galaxy S II General] Foxdraed:
Yep it was installed by SuperOneClick bwcause i bought titanium backup pro and everything went fine! I used the busybox from titanium backup pro to make sure its fully compatible :) Thanks for the help Intratech!!
[Galaxy S II General] sackynuts:
So if I flash the frankenstein version of KE7, when and/or how to I change CSC? Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II General] veeruchinnu143:
Guys I did the same process. But im getting installation aborted error on CWM recovery. Why...?? Any suggestions,I wanna use gtalk(video&audio). Help me guys...
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Bit off topic here, but for you ...

0. Pre-Requirements:

a) You have the ROM you want to run on your phone, such as XWKK5.

b) You have already rooted your phone and installed a kernel containing CWM recovery mode, such as CF-Root kernel for XWKK5.

c) You have downloaded the Talk zip file from the link I gave you.

If not, flash ROM and CF-Root kernel and download the zip file for the Talk app.

1. Launch CWM Manager app and tap on Reboot Into Recovery.

2. Your phone will now reboot into ClockworkMod recovery mode. Using your phone’s volume up/down keys and the home button, scroll down to wipe cache partition > yes – wipe cache.

Similarly, navigate to advanced > wipe dalvik cache > yes – wipe dalvik cache. Go back to main menu using power/lock button.

3. This is the most important step: scroll down to install zip from sd card > choose zip from sd card > Gtalk_video_voice_XsMagical.zip. The hacked Gtalk app will now be flashed to your phone. After flashing, reboot system now.

4. If you followed the guide correctly, you can now launch the Google Talk app from your phone, tap on your picture and enable video and voice chats to start video chatting with friends and family!

Just replace the ROM Manager app with the CWM Manager app of CF-Root kernel, and everything will work fine. I have done it exactly that way and I had no problem to get Talk with video chat.

Good luck !

How do I know if I'm on stock kernel, my phone shows

2.6.35.7I9100XWKK5-CL754841

I flashed the TELIA KK5 with Odin, its supposed to be an official rom.

I ask cause when i plug to kies it says that kies does not support updates,

If this is not official were can i get the official.

Thanks in advance, and thanks for all the help you have been giving me.

Guys I downloaded the kk2 & kk5 firmwares from this form. But they r not detecting by ODIN downloader. And also i can't open with winrar also. I also downloaded the kernels for those firmwares. They are also not detecting neither by odin nor by winrar.

Its a 7z file format,when double click on it,its saying "the archive is either in unknown file format or damaged" Help me guys....:-(
[Galaxy S II General] lrcquest:
R u carrier branded? In that case, u can search in the carrier branded section by intratech. 2.3.4, 5, 6 have been released n there are some performance improvements. Its advisable to move to the latest. Check for your version.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Please try to clear the browser cache, close the browser, open it again and re-download the files.

It should be a 7zip file which contains a tar.md5 file.

7zip and latest version of WinRar should be able to open and extract this 7zip file.

Download and install 7zip to be sure to extract this 7zip file.

Then you can right click the 7zip file and choose from context menu "7zip => extract here...".

And ODIN (and Mobile ODIN) will recognize the tar.md5 file as a valid firmware file.

Good luck !

Have been following this thread from months and flashing roms put up here by Intratech. Watched my SGS2 become faster, smoother and the experience becoming more & more satisfying. Its only when you buy another phone and have to search through tons of net pages to get what you want does it really dawn on you how Intratech has been literally serving things up on a platter.

Thanks Intratech. Not a wise choice for me to have purchased the Note with no Intratech support. :D

To all guys out there who post without scanning through the thread ...... READ. It doesnt get simpler than this.

To all the guys diligently helping ..... Thank you. I solved a lot of my problems.
