XXKH1 Is out intratech.

Is it Chinese?
[Galaxy S II General] bakewelluk:
The CSC is OXA, so looks like it's Polish again.
[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:
Be nice to see a UK official release ....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1221062

Anyway will wait to see what Intratech thinks of this if he likes it i will flash...
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It's a test firmware, Polish localisation. Dunno why they are releasing XXKH1, XXKH3 is already built.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
The Telstra firmware is not yet on the firmware server so I don't have access to it to extract the kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] kwukduck:
I just got my S2 today and i wanted to flash XXKG6 frankenstein firmware

the zip contains a .tar file with; boot.bin, cache.img, factoryfs.img, hidden.img, modem.bin, param.lfs, sbl.bin, zImage.

I know heimdall can be used to flash these on the I9000

But im not sure how to handle this tar or these packed files for the I9100,

can somebody enlighten me?
[Galaxy S II General] Cladon:
Just put the .tar file (do not unzip it) in the PDA section of ODIN and flash it!

There is a tutorial with screenshots in the first post of this thread to help you with flashing a firmware!

Thanks for the upload!
[Galaxy S II General] sashpimp:
The kh1 modem is based for what frequencies?? And what type of data?
[Galaxy S II General] cad_2011:
really do hope that telstra will upload its official firmware on to the server soon.
[Galaxy S II General] projectzero_droid:
i have seen that they are many Rom that they have specified modem version like : SolarFlare S2 v1.1 - Gingerbread 2.3.4· ░█░ ·| i9100-XXKG6 2.3.4 and my modem version is " i9100-DCKF4 ( stock Rom ) " can i flash by CWM Recovery or i have to change my modem version to be able to flash the Rom ?
[Galaxy S II General] clownage:
Thank you for the reply.

Excuse my ignorance but what and/or where is the firmware server?
[Galaxy S II General] mbevc1:
Sure it is a test firmware? :( Well still waiting for XW version to come out :) Maybe in August sometime :)
[Galaxy S II General] inkyadrian:
Go to Samfirmware.com and get your csc from there. Install with Odin. Change csc by typing in yout dialer: *#272*your imie here#. It will wipe your phone when you change it.
[Galaxy S II General] Huck33:
awesome

non wipe version...

sounds good

[Galaxy S II General] thoir:
I am looking to flash the XXKG6 stock rom and I downloaded the file and I only have the (boot.bin, cache.img, factoryfs.img, hidden.img, modem.img, param.lfs, Sbl.bin and zImage) which one(s) do I load into Odin the guide in the first page talks about PDA, Phone and CSC so I am a little confused so any help would be great thanks. Also would I need to install the XXKG6 kernel after or would this ROM also install that? if not where would I load the kernel in Odin?
[Galaxy S II General] tygoger:
Thats all explained in post #1
[Galaxy S II General] thoir:
I looked at post #1 and it says this "4. Click on the PDA button and browse to the .tar file that you extracted in step 1 If the package has more than one .tar archive then they will be labelled with PDA, Phone/Modem and CSC. Just put them in the corresponding section of Odin" but the file I downloaded is not labeled like this I only have one labeled Modem.bin the rest are not labeled like the first post describes that is why I am confused and am looking for help
[Galaxy S II General] tygoger:
Sounds like you extracted the .tar file. You only have to extract the .exe after download. After that put the .tar file in PDA
[Galaxy S II General] geekaren:
The xxkh1 Settings Power Saving screen is indeed different, but there is no menu under System Power Saving option:
[Galaxy S II General] thoir:
Thanks that was my problem thanks again :)

[Galaxy S II General] jenskristian:
Flashing KH1 from KG6 will not wipe my phone, correct?
[Galaxy S II General] wildoat:
KH1 and specific CSC packages

Many thanks for this web resource to all concerned.

I have updated succesully via Odin with official release packages and have been looking at the Frankenstein packages as my next step but would just like to clarify a few points that I cannot seem to get clear in my mind even after reading page 1. [I am in the UK on originally branded Vodafone phone now running KG5].

The new XXKH1 firmware shows as PDA: XXKH1| Modem/phone: XXKH1| CSC: XEUKD1 yet there is a specific individual CSC Package for XEU CSC (XEUKD1) lower down. So do I need the specific individual CSC package in this case? and if I do how do I use it, as the CSC package is a much smaller file? Do I flash with Odin putting main tar file as PDA and the individual CSC package in CSC section? And finally will it wipe the phone?

Thx in advance. W.
[Galaxy S II General] tonymy01:
The samfirmware one will since it has a 2G empty data partition image in the tar file (img is compressed so less than 2G size in the tar, but any data.img will wipe).

The frankenstein version here does not have this file so won't wipe.
[Galaxy S II General] stBlueJay:
Wondering if someone can help me... i tried flashing a new firmware (KG6) and although it seems to succeed via Odin when it reboots it gets stuck at the Samsung Galaxy SII boot screen then reboots :confused:

I tried putting my previous firmware back on and it's doing the same thing. I flashed it when i first got it and had no issues

Thanks for the help guys
[Galaxy S II General] :
Where is the XXKH3 firmware hanging out?

I see there is already a CF-Root available for XXKH3, yet no firmware package.

Frankenstein nor original.
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
darky has it right now but not releasing it yet from what I hear.
[Galaxy S II General] jenskristian:
Thanks. Flashed and rooted now. All went fine :) Now I just have to hope KH1 is an improvement over KG6.
[Galaxy S II General] stBlueJay:
Thanks for the reply and advice, can you tell me why i have to do a factory reset to get it to boot?

When i flashed from KDD to KE2 (when i first got the phone) i didn't have to do a factory reset. I'm assuming this will wipe all my dat and apps? This shouldn't be too much of an issue as i backed ueverything up yesterday with titanium....
[Galaxy S II General] :
Nasty little bugger :D

I'll be waiting, I just hope he leaves it untouched.
[Galaxy S II General] Cladon:
You'll have to do that to clear the cache and avoid the bootloop issue you are now facing!
[Galaxy S II General] jenskristian:
I'm experiencing a problem after upgrading from XXKG6 to XXKH1. Car mode starts up all the time, and then closes after under a second. This seems to happen a lot. Anyone else experiencing this and/or have a solution?

Tried clearing cache partition. Will see if it works.

Update: Clearing the cache partition seems to have solved the problem.
[Galaxy S II General] stBlueJay:
ahhh ok, i'll give it a go ;) Assuming i'll lose all data, apps etc? But will be able to backup from Titanium :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] stBlueJay:
Ok so i did a factory reset and phone is up and running again, literally like new minus all apps data etc (as expected) my question now is will i have to do a Factory reset after every firmware update or just for Frankenstein firmwares? :confused:

I ask this as the first time i updated i didn't have to do a factory reset... as i type this i am wondering if last time i actually updated via KIES and just rooted it using ChainFire's unsecure kernel and then re-flashed a stock kernel? Would this explain why i've never had to do a factory reset before... because i've never updated the firmware?

Sorry for all the questions am in work and don't have time to read through 300+ pages of the forum at the mo :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] richyy74:
The same happened to me from kg6 to kg5 but no other time. As I see it: it only happens when you flash to any other version from kg6.
[Galaxy S II General] jenskristian:
I just flashed from KG6 to KH1, and did not need a factory reset. I did however have to clear the cache partition to get rid of car mode popping up all the time.
[Galaxy S II General] Cladon:
It seems to be happening when downgrading...!

For example from KG6 to KG5!

But it shouldn't happen from KG6 to KH1 for example....because KH1 is newer!
[Galaxy S II General] richyy74:
I did not get a bootloop neither from kg5 to kg3 nor kg3 to kh1.
[Galaxy S II General] stBlueJay:
hmmmm, well i went from KE2 to KG6 and it got stuck in the boot loop, i tried to then go to an O2 branded KF3 and then back to an O2 branded KE2. On reboot from each one the phone got stuck in a boot loop.

When i booted into recovery mode and did a factory reset the phone started working again and i was back at KE2, which was the last firmware i flashed.

I'm going to try a few different firmwares now to see what happens... O2 KF3 to KG6 to KH1 and then maybe back again to KG6.

Thanks guys :)
[Galaxy S II General] rockambole:
hello all

i've updated my sgs2 to XXKG5 and now my battery is draining so fast!

last night i charged my phone and today in the morning i had only 20% of battery

i'm using the phone just the same as before

is it a firmware problem?
[Galaxy S II General] tygoger:
Try emtpy the cache and battery stats. Maybe that will improve
[Galaxy S II General] rockambole:
thanks, i'll try that as soon as my phone fully charges again
[Galaxy S II General] Cladon:
Please keep us informed about that... :)
[Galaxy S II General] azulgranas:
Whenever flashing new Rom i always wipe cache and data, so i ve never seen any bootlop problem. I highly recommend this way to someone who faces with any problem when getting new rom.
[Galaxy S II General] stBlueJay:
To wipe the cache and data do you reboot into recovery and do a factory reset? Sorry i'm quite new to the flashing game :D
[Galaxy S II General] alentor:
What if I cant find my exact stock rom? Can I flash any other rom?

Im from isarel, got my phone from a company by the name pelephone, all I know that they are using HIGH SPEED GSM network, or something like. So which stock rom should I choice?
[Galaxy S II General] tygoger:
That will do a factory reset. Go in recovery then wipe cache.

Maybe this is handy for you http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1134290
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Always use latest and greatest, which at the moment its KH1 if I'm not mistaken.
[Galaxy S II General] tygoger:
You can flash any ROM you like. (your lucky btw, I clicked accidental on thanks, haha)
[Galaxy S II General] stBlueJay:
Why thank you sir, so i need to choose the 'wipe cache partition' option in the clockworkMod Recovery menu?
[Galaxy S II General] azulgranas:
Yes, just go into recovery mode and do wipe cache and data. But remember to backup all your data by using titanium backup pro
[Galaxy S II General] tygoger:
You are welcome. And yes thats the one.
[Galaxy S II General] stBlueJay:
Ok so i wiped the Cache partition... can someone tell me what the cache partition is and why i should wipe it after installing new firmware?

I haven't wiped data/factory reset as i'm not sure what will happen to root? I flashed CF-Root and then re-flashed with a stock kernel and re-flashed again the zImage of the CF-Root kernel... All's fine but i was wondering what would happen to CWM and SuperUser? Will they be wiped along with data and will this mess up the kernel?
[Galaxy S II General] alentor:
Hhh thank you1 I have accidentally clicked the thank you button as well Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] tygoger:
As long as you have the cf kernel installed you can do a factory reset without losing root. And for the cache, maybe google would be a great way to get that info. Wiki has lots of info to answer you question.
[Galaxy S II General] stBlueJay:
Google is my friend :D

Thanks very much for all your help guys, i now have XXKH1 rooted with CWM, partition wiped, factory reset.... all working and backed up!

Now i just have to try and restore my apps and data from Titanium Backup Pro...

Thanks again guys!!

[Galaxy S II General] juliano76:
I know it' s a stupid questions but does anybody know by any way what's new on KH3 comparing to KG6. Does this worth the upgrade?

Thanks

flash and see :) always keep a backup!
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Erm, Running out of space in the first post. Is there a way of inserting a reserve post directly after the first one?
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Not that i know of, asking the mods to see if they have a solution would be the proper action :)

Hello, I have a smg s2 branded by telcel from mexico, but I don't know what rom I have to apply, my pda, phone and csc are here:

PDA: I9100UMKE2

PHONE:I9100UHKD8

CSC:I9100TCEKE1

I rooted my phone with XWXEUKE2 kernel. So, can I apply any official samsung rom which ends with KE2. It's my first time with a samsung android phone. I bought it yesterday :)
[Galaxy S II General] bakewelluk:
Seconded :)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I'm working on getting the Mexican and Bell Canada firmware but it seems as if the carriers are not wanting it to be made available on the firmware server. Looks like you guys will need to wait for an update before I can pull the firmware. :(
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I want a tart! :D
[Galaxy S II General] caalca:
Thanks a lot!!!. So i will have to wait. My only problem is that browser has yahoo search box (I think that i't is its name) and I is mooded for entering to telcel homepage, I can't look for something. I don't know if you could help me with that problem. I have tried to erase browser from system/app and putting an stock one but the browser doesn't install when I reboot the phone. Is there another way to install systems apps?
[Galaxy S II General] bakewelluk:
Haha well ask and ye shall receive, just sent you a thanks that should cover a couple of packs :D

Transaction ID #24M25497VK5148037
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Cheers for that mate, will buy some tomorrow. :D
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Did you remove the browser apk and odex file from /System/app and replaced it with the browser apk and odex from a European firmware?
[Galaxy S II General] caalca:
Heartily, I don't know where the browser.apk and browser.oxed are from. I tried to take from one of yor roms but i can't open .img. And What if I install another official rom wich isn't from mexico?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Hang on, I'll extract it from the KE2 firmware for you.
[Galaxy S II General] mrjeffery:
If I flash frankenstein KH3 over KG6, will I need to wipe and will I need to re-root? I'm assuming this will overwrite the chainfire kernel already installed?
[Galaxy S II General] caalca:
Oooh, thanks a lot!!!
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
If it's a stock KG6 when it will be fine, if it's a custom rom or one that has been themed then it's a crap shoot. Yes kernel will be over-ridden.
[Galaxy S II General] mrjeffery:
Thanks, it's stock KG6 with KG5 modem so sounds like it should be ok.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
http://www.multiupload.com/DBO2FJU60D

Double click and it will ask for a location to extract the files.

Use root explorer or file expert to make a backup copy of your present browser.apk and browser.odex files from /system/app folder and then copy these ones over and reboot.
[Galaxy S II General] joelteixeira:
[Q1] Sorry if I'm misunderstanding but, why the KH3 ROM is on Frankenstein section? It's official, isn't it?

[Q2] Is there any changelog available between eg. KH1 and KH3?
[Galaxy S II General] rockambole:
hello all,

i've just flashed my phone with the new KH3 and ZTO CSC package, but when I enter *#272*Device IMEI# it only shows one csc (XEU) to install

how can I install the ZTO CSC package?

thanks
[Galaxy S II General] azreil24:
Does anyone have any problems with video recording with the latest ROMs? KH3 for instance. With the original one that came with the phone, i think it was KE2, I would always get vids with 30 FPS, now it goes down to even 22 FPS and is really annoying. Thanks in advance.

Cheers!
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It's a leaked firmware that's why it's in the Frankenstein section. If/When it becomes official I will move it or post the official version. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
You will need to hard reset after flashing a different CSC package for it to have an effect. I assume you put the CSC .tar package in the CSC section of Odin to flash. :)
[Galaxy S II General] caalca:
I have done that but I get this when I press internet icon i get that message:

"android.content.ActivitieNotFound. Unable to found explicit activity class {com.android.browser/com.android.browserActivitie}; have you declared this antivitie in your android manifiest.xml?"

I have changed the permissions to rw,r,r
[Galaxy S II General] rockambole:
what does a CSC package has? will it install something?

thanks
[Galaxy S II General] mrjeffery:
So is that why my SGS2 still says my CSC is VOD after flashing a frankenstein firmware with CSC XEU or OXA and not hard resetting?
[Galaxy S II General] joelteixeira:
Thanks Intratech, on the Frankstein section there's this message:

Frankenstein package created due to demand for Firmware with different CSC and modems.

But at the same time, the KH3 it's available on "samfirmware.com". So anyone can create and upload ROMs to "samfirmware.com"? I thought it was official.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Ha! Yep it won't work, this is why I asked you to backup the original files. Please delete the ones I uploaded and replace the stock ones again.
[Galaxy S II General] Sandwiches:
Sorry haven't read the whole thread so apologies if this has already been asked, but when you install CF-Root, can you still update via Kies? It only changes the kernel right, not the firmware?

Will I have to re-apply CF-Root if I upgrade to KH1?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
SamFirmware gives the impression that they are official source for Samsung firmware but they are not affiliated in anyway with Samsung. They do a good job providing firmwares though but can be a bit amateurish at times.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Correctamundo muchacho.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Werd ese, needs hard resetting if you want it to change.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
First post of the thread has some information you may find useful.:)
[Galaxy S II General] caalca:
Okey, i'll restore. But can't I install another original rom wich others pda, phone and csc?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yes, you can do that with a simple Odin flash. :)

Edit: BTW guys the layout of the first post has been broken into separate sections and placed in their own posts. I was hitting the word limit. Links to the firmwares are in the second and 3rd posts now.
[Galaxy S II General] rikz112:
intratech if i flash the new kh3 how do i then get xeu csc do then just flash that after i have flashed the firmware??
[Galaxy S II General] caalca:
But what rom do you recommend me? Any version will work correctly or do I need to chose an especific version?. I want to have the original samsung firmware full working without TELCEL modifications. Here are my PDA, PHONE and CSC again.

PDA: I9100UMKE1

PHONE: I9100UHKD8

CSC: I9100TCEKE1
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Try the XXKH3 from the 3rd post. Must say that it does have European Spanish and not Latin American Spanish. If you want Latin American Spanish try VNO version of UHKG7.
[Galaxy S II General] caalca:
And both will be completely working in my phone, won't I have problems with 3g or signal for calls?. And excuse me for making my problem so big, it is just that I want to be completely sure that my sgs2 will be fully working with other vesion. I have spent all my savings in this phone and I just have 1 day with it. And if I'll brick it, warranty will be cancel becasuse of changing the firmware. And It's my first time with a samsung. And you are amazing, nobody would have help me like you:)

EDIT: In few words: Do original pda, phone and scs from my phone have to coincide with the version of the original samsung firmware I will install?

EDIT 2: I don't care the language, it can be in european spanish, latin spanish or Engilsh
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
No they don't have to match. Yes European firmwares will work fully with the device and you will get full 3G, HSDPA or HSDPA+ if your operator supports it. These firmware packages are self-contained so they don't depend on anything being already installed on your device.

Ok, Latest official firmware is UHKG7, latest available firmware is XXKH3 but it's a leaked firmware. Both will work but the choice is yours. Once you flash the new firmware I recommend a factory reset of the device to start from fresh.
[Galaxy S II General] caalca:
Thank you a loooooooooot!!!. This is not a normal thank, it comes from the heart. I really apreciate your help. I think that I'll install UHKG7. I have the last question: Do I install the rom like I installed the kernel from cf-root, I mean that I just check ''autoreboot'' and ''F. Reset Time'' and i choose the rom I downloaded in PDA bottom?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yes, like how you flash CF-Root kernel in Odin. There is a guide on the first post of this thread with screenshot.
