I tried to flash UHLB2 over top of XWLA4 but it constantly reboots after the boot animation. I attempted to redownload it to verify the download was not corrupt but the problem remains.

I flashed back to XWLA4 to overcome this problem but I would like to get UHLB2 so I can use all the 5ghz wi-fi frequencies.

Does anyone have a fix?
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Do a factory reset after flashing the firmware.

Logged using an SGS2 type droid while floating in CheckROM quadrant on a research mission.......
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
After flashing the ROM, try to reboot into recovery mode and wipe cache.

Then try to reboot normally.

If that does not help, try to do a factory reset (like geko95gek suggested).

Good luck !

Ok, just want to understand you correctly ... but ...

Why does it suck to have XXKJ1 CSC?

Is there anything special in XXKJ3 CSC file that you really want or need to have?

Or is it just that you always want or have to flash the newest available version, because it is the latest version?

I prefer flashing latest versions of kernels, ROMs, sometimes modems and installed apps, too.

As I said before, CSC is not important for me.

But don't mind, if it is important for you.
[Galaxy S II General] mbevc1:
Anybody tried XILA3? Intra howcome there is KI1 modem and you usually put it together with KI3? well, will try it and probaly use LPH modem as I did on XWLA4 now ;)

Tried XILA3...lookin good for now ;) started with LPH modem.
[Galaxy S II General] angelossssss:
I want to root my sgs2 and i'm on XWLA4 atm.

If i follow the method 1 Quick root guide will it increase the custom counter or activate the yellow triangle?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Yes, flashing an insecure kernel will increase the counter and show the yellow triangle at boot.

After flashing the stock kernel, the yellow triangle will be gone, but the counter will remain increased.

To reset the binary/custom counter, you can use a USB Jig.
[Galaxy S II General] MeX_DK:
Its just a matter of principle really. I try to keep my phone updated to the latest XW Rom, most updated modem, and most updated MultiCSC package containing NEE region as I prefer to see the apps meant for denmark and not stuff like "BBC Player" which I have no real use for, or other such apps.

Flashing "older" CSC too me, is like noticing that there is a new firmware for your router, but instead of flashing the new firmware, you flash something older. Not the best analogy considering CSC is not as crucial to a phone as the firmware is, but I hope it sorta gets the point across.

I dont mean any offence with my question really. But it just seems odd why not to include the newest one, and I mean a simple message from Intratech saying it is a work in progress is fine enough, as I don't expect "my request" to take any presidence over restoring all the other roms images as they are essentially more important to get back.
[Galaxy S II General] pawmadsen:
I do get your point but Intra already said that he is working on the update\uploads of all the stuff but his job is taking all his time atm. Its a lot of work to upload and categorize all the roms and kernels and csc`s. So far he has uploaded around 15 gb of files . I think your best bet is to just wait till intra gets it done, it will happen at some point.

Meanwhile you can all see some stats on my server at skywanker.net/usage amazingly i spotted a win98 machine wtf... btw how is the server from the users point of view?? I would like a little feedback if you have an opinion like download speed.

Remember to press thanks if you like it.
[Galaxy S II General] gorko122:
Intratech, do you've any news regarding official/final ICS release?
[Galaxy S II General] Bonobow:
I wanted to go back to factory Tmobile UK...

please help me..

I find this confusing-sorry I'm slow.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
ATM it is still XWKI4 ROM.

You can check with Check Fus Downloader from here => http://fus.nanzen.se/

You can download the corresponding ROM from this thread (second post) or just download the stock ROM directly from Samsung servers with Check Fus Downloader.

Then flash and be happy.

P.S.:

Backup everything you do not want to lose before flashing.

Good luck !

Hey guys just got my i9100 last night and im ready to root the phone.

However one guide I read said its best to have the latest firmware installed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399&highlight=CF+Root

Currently I have 2.3.4 baseband i9100uhkg4

Kernel 2.6.35.7-i9100uhkg7-cl417954se.infra@sep-50 #2

build number gingerbread.uhkg7

Im in Jamaica so I navigated to the Jamaican 2.3.6 version on page one of this thread but I was unable to download it because the links are down.

A few questions what region is my current firmware?

Also can I go ahead and root with my 2.3.4 version or is it really better to upgrade to 2.3.6.

Sorry if my question seem dumb its my first android I was using a N95 8gb for 4 years which I did hack to install unlimited apps so im not a newbie in terms of hacking phones.

Thanks in advance for your help guys.

Hi everyone. i want to downgrade from 2.3.6 to 2.3.4 so that i can use doomlords rooting method. do i have to take any extra steps when downgrading?
[Galaxy S II General] pawmadsen:
U cant just keep your version and flash cf-root. It will increase your counter but u should order a usb jig anyway if u want to root so u can reset phone in case it needs service
[Galaxy S II General] e_0234:
No, just download the 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 firmware version flash it using ODIN (follow the guide on the first page of this thread), then follow doomlords zerg exploit method guide. After your device is downgraded and rooted, install chainfire's mobile odin (from market), following the simple instructions on the app, you will be able to flash any firmware version, rooted, plus no yellow triangle and no count on "custom binary".

Hope that this "mini guide" helps you.

---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------

Just follow doomlord's rooting guide on the first page of this thread, you don't even need to update your firmware...
[Galaxy S II General] Mezzi:
e_0234 thanks a lot for your reply, I have decided to use this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

BUT in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1101671 my UHKG7 original stock firmware isnt listed and in this thread that we are speaking in my UHKG7 original stock cannot be downloaded. I need the original kernel to get rid of the yellow triangle.
[Galaxy S II General] tiggerrdrr:
Download speed looks good pawmadsen, about 500 - 600 kbps on my phone over wifi. hopefully sent you and intra some beer money over the wire for the awesome thread and time given. Enjoy.:beer::beer::)
[Galaxy S II General] tiggerrdrr:
Best thing is to but a USB jig from the net. To get rid of that pesky triangle which will also reset the count. Which the original kernel will not do for you. if you have flashed anything other than intras firmware.you will need to use the old bootloader package from the first page of the thread to use the jig.
[Galaxy S II General] pawmadsen:
Thank you very much mate, its much appriciated.
[Galaxy S II General] Mezzi:
Thank you very much!

I rooted the phone and I am about to order a usb jig from China to get the yellow triangle removed.

Any feedbacks or changes between new firmwares XILA3 or UHLB2 versus XWLA4 ?
[Galaxy S II General] danieldmm:
One thing i notice in UHLB2, its not multilanguage, the ROM only have 4 languages to choose plus a adition of 12 apks to system/app that start by the name launchergalery, launchermessages, etc... (i did not notice diference opening things)

The rest for me i dont see any difference.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] angelossssss:
1,49$.

1,32€ for me if i remember well.
[Galaxy S II General] ThiaagoFelix:
Guys,

I downloaded the UHLB2 stock kernel and couldnt open it. It didnt asked for the password wich I thought weird.

Where can I find it? Need to root my phone again.

[Galaxy S II General] diamondX04HT:
I think this is what you are looking for...its in post #3
[Galaxy S II General] mbevc1:
well XWLA4 and XILA3 are looking pretty much the same. As far as I can tell performance and battery looks also the same :) But since buildnumber is higher in XILA3 as XWLA4 I decided to go with ILA ;)
[Galaxy S II General] tiggerrdrr:
using the quick root guide will not increase the counter or give you the pesky triangle. however to use it i think you have to be on 2.3.5 or lower for it to work as in some of the 2.3.5 firmware they started to patch the loophole. if you wanted to go back to an earlier firmware a factory reset is needed.
[Galaxy S II General] rizdroid:
There is root via factoryfs (no triangle, no counter) for this fw version (UHLB2).

lol? how can be this? 2.3.3 is not final update..what can I do? :-//
[Galaxy S II General] Rinoko72:

Unless you live where the first ICS Rom is released, you'll most likely get ICS quicker from here and then using Odin.. ;)

Yea,I can..I got 4.0 from xda,but now I want official :) I maybe will sell my phone,so it should be clear without root and flash :) Thats why I want official
[Galaxy S II General] Crustyloaf:
Just remembered that you can get latest firmware for your phone from Check Fus

Get Check Fus Downloader 2.1 from http://fus.nanzen.se/

Run the downloaded file CheckFusdownloader_V2.1.exe

Under 'Choose your firmware' on the right hand side use the drop down boxes to enter:

ANDROID in the 1st box (wait awhile wile the firmeare list downloads and activated the 2nd box)

GT-I9100 (if this is your phone model) in the 2nd

Your COUNTRY (CARRIER)* in the 3rd

The boxes on the left side should now be filled in.

* If you are in the UK then United Kingdom (Carphone Warehouse) will give the firmware XWKE7 and baseband XXKE4 that you had originally.

Click on Check Firmware and the Result box should indicate what the latest firmware is for the phone. It might not be the same as you had originally if it has been updated, e.g. for the UK/Carphone Warehouse example above the latest firmware appears as XWKI4 with baseband/modem XXKI1 from September 2011.

There will be an option at the bottom of the screen to download the firmware.

The downloaded file will be encrypted and have an .enc2 extension. I can't remember whether Check Fus automatically decrypts it or not. It will tell you in the grey 'Log' box. If not then click on the Advanced tab and use Browse to select the encrypted .enc2 file from wherever you downloaded it to. Then click on 'CRC and Decrypt Firmware' or 'Decrypt Firmware' (the first does a CRC check but takes slightly longer).

When it's all finished you should have a .zip file with your .tar.md5 firmware file inside.
[Galaxy S II General] Bonobow:
This is great..

I done it..

[Galaxy S II General] TG09:
What do i do with this, I just did the above and now the phone is looping around. Its says its a GT-I9100T even though at the back of the battery it says its a GT-I9100.

[Galaxy S II General] Crustyloaf:

[Galaxy S II General] chalid:
is it possible to flash phone/baseband only? using a KE1 baseband on a KE7 rom?

EDIT: Just tried it myself. I downloaded another ROM, opened the TAR-file using 7zip and deleted everything except modem.bin and flashed like a normal ROM using Odin. Everything worked perfectly and phone-info showing the new baseband version.

Why did I do that? Because all Three-networks are using another baseband version and I was getting a much better reception with the original NEKD5 (from Three-KE1) baseband than with XXKE4 (from XEU-KE7) baseband. Another problem with the XXKE4 baseband were data-disconnects from time to time, which didn't occur with the original.
[Galaxy S II General] msjfb:
Just curious about ODIN: would selecting PHONE (as opposed to PDA) and a <full> ROM image in Odin not have accomplished the same thing, i.e. only burn the PHONE section ?
[Galaxy S II General] chalid:
I have no idea. It's my first Samsung phone and I've never used Odin before the GS2. Since all guides and tutorials always explicity say to not touch anything other than PDA, I just assumed there are compatibility issues ...

But would be nice if someone can shed some light on this.

As long as you flash an original FW before you return your phone under warranty then you should be fine. There will always be a list of official FW somewhere ...

When you say the original FW do you mean the one I have installed atm? the one I got the phone with?
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Firmware .

Original supplied with phone and upgraded via Kies may be provider branded and with provider extras .

Upgraded when provider updates to Kies .

Stock firmware as we call it .

The firmware produced by Samsung (and supplied to the networks /providers )no branding and no extras .

Found via XDA or samfirmware.com installed via Odin .

Updated as soon as its released .

Product Code of phone defines firmware .

Rooted with SuperOneClick 1.7.1 = Possible problems?

I was cleaning up my SGS2 download directories and after re-reading the text in the first post I realize that I had installed v1.7.1.

The text only mentions v1.9.1 but I could swear it said earlier that some people had problems with the latest version and to use an earlier version... I cannot see why I would have downloaded version 1.7.1 otherwise.

Anyhow, I did a little check with Terminal too se if I could get at the data\app-private directory and I could. From what I read this confirms that I am rooted (still feeling my way around Android/Linux).

Should I unroot the re-root with 1.9.1 ? Also, I am at the point where I am going to start installing stuff. Is a factory reset a <best practice> to make sure everything is clean after a flash + root ?

Thanks.
