[Galaxy S II General] MWaV:
can some please point in the right direction to fixing this problem, I have rooted my phone, tried to install CWM, now my phone is stuck in the boot up screen, I know I have the find the original stock kernel as everyone is telling, also they are telling me to look in my phone, how in the hell you do that when it doesnt get passed the boot up screen with the "!", i dont know, maybe someone with patience can point me in the right direction on how to find that kernel, and point me in the direction to fixing this phone. Maybe after fixing this problem, I will be done with the rooting business as this is extremely frustrating when you dont know where to go next
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Don't tell me you're another one with an Epic 4G who thought it was a good idea to flash a kernel from the Galaxy S2? Just how do you miss the Epic 4G forum to come here for the wrong kernel?

You'll need to find the Epic 4G forum and flash the stock firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] MWaV:
I guess because everyone kept saying that its also called the Galaxy S2. thanks for your response, at least you responded.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Even if everyone else calls it that, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to have a look at the model name and number of your device. ;)

I'll like to upgrade from my old firmware check signature to new one XWKJ3 and wondering what to do step by step im going crazy i read a lot and it's all mixed up.thanks
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Correct me if I am wrong but the instructions on 1st page of this thread sound more than sufficient to me to be able to update your firmware without issues.
[Galaxy S II General] cliff03:
yes i know about 1st page.

But wondering when upgrading firmware do i use official version or Frankenstein version im still stock

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Frankenstein ones are no wipe. So it's your choice in the end. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] cliff03:
Is there any other difference between the two other than complete Wipe?
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Basically yeah some of them, but some are packed with different modems and kernels. ;)

I would advise you to go for this one:

"

XKI3

Android 2.3.5

This original (unmodified) Wipe Package with new bootloader has: PDA: XXKI3| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: OXAKI3

Download: http://www.multiupload.com/NJV6PR87Y3

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

This Frankenstein™ Non-Wipe package has: PDA: XXKI3| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: XEUKD1

Download: http://www.multiupload.com/7JTWS2E37R

XXKI3 Stock Kernel:http://www.multiupload.com/WDOO81L5H6

Password: intratech@XDA

"

The two links at the bottom are the ones you need. :)
[Galaxy S II General] cliff03:
so which download link i should use if im going from stock rom.

My Jig will be here in two weeks so can i still upgrade firmware and reset counter with jig when it arrives?

So download this one XKI3

Android 2.3.5

This original (unmodified) Wipe Package with new bootloader has: PDA: XXKI3| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: OXAKI3

Download: http://www.multiupload.com/NJV6PR87Y3

or

This Frankenstein™ Non-Wipe package has: PDA: XXKI3| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: XEUKD1

XXKI3 Stock Kernel:http://www.multiupload.com/WDOO81L5H6

thanks man
[Galaxy S II General] aceofclubs:
Just flash the Frankenstein one.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
That's your choice really, if you want to have a fresh install or just flash the non-wipe package instead.

I'd suggest the one which wipes your system. Since you're coming from quite an old ROM.

[Galaxy S II General] cliff03:
I'll go with the wipe version also after installing that in odin will i be rooted?
[Galaxy S II General] SaneinOne:
No.
[Galaxy S II General] mbutandola:
You don't get root directly after flashing a new rom, unless it's a custom rom. You can flash anything custom kernel such as CF-root or go for another solution. It's all in the first page. Alternatively, as said a couple of pages back, you have the option to use mobile Odin to get everything. All is given to you on here. Just need to read carefully. You'll quickly get there.

Bootloop

Hi

Im in a bit of a pickle. I have been rooting, flashing Android devices since HTC Magic (Sapphire) and have had quiet a few. My previous phone was a SGS, and been using Odin for a long time, but right now I get into a continuos bootloop, and I don't see the error :confused:

I tried flashing 3 different official firmwares, and the result is all the same

GT-I9100_NEE_I9100XWKF3_I9100XXKE7_I9100OXXKF1

GT-I9100_NEE_I9100XWKI4_I9100OXXKI2_I9100XXKI1

GT-I9100_NEE_I9100XWKI8_I9100OXXKI2_I9100XXKI4

I'm from Denmark, so I guess the 3 firmwares should all be suitable for the phone and I know I've been using the KF3 at some point.

I came from a MIUI 1.11.xx install and have had flashed CWM

I followed the guide 100%, and reread it 3-4 times just to be sure, but it should be easy piecy.

ticked auto reboot and f. reset time and loaded the .tar as PDA, and everything went smoothly.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Just recalled a factory reset via Android recovery might do the job after Odin flash, and it did. Dunno why that is, but booted up now. Sorry for the inconvinience (spell) - VOL UP + HOME + POWER for others to use, if you wonder

Has anyone tried the KK modem. I may try it, then go back to I'll if not good

LMAO! Corrected it. Thanks.

I eat turkey breast from time to time seeing as it's very lean meat but I'm not a big fan of turkey.

[Galaxy S II General] dan1431:
I apologize ahead of time for this question.

I have been using a Nexus One since it was first released with NAM 3G and have updated it multiple times and it was a very easy process. The firmware was written for the device and with few exceptions it was just an update to Android (no CSC, etc.)

While I was in Panama for work I picked up a sim free GT-I9100 and have been using it for a while now and decided to update it to a newer firmware, but discovered it is not as straight forward as saying updating my Nexus One.

My question is, does it matter which of the stock firmwares I choose for example I am interested in XWKK2 (which has a XEN CSC), even though my phone has a CSC of TPAKI2?

Again my apologies for such a newbie question,

Dan
[Galaxy S II General] donalgodon:
No, it really doesn't matter. The KK2 you chose should work just fine. just flash the file as pda. Everything will be okay. Just don't select repartition. Leave everything as default in Odin.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It's Telia Denmark firmware. I'll build a Frankenstein version if you guys want. I already have a non-wipe, single tarball, version of the stock firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] firefds:
Does that mean its a branded version?
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
I'm partial to the Frankenstein versions. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yeah, it's a carrier firmware
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
Ew, then I'm not interested.

The Frankenstein build doesn't have any carrier branding. I've flashed it and there isn't any obvious difference between this and XWKK2.

Both were compressed the same way dude so something is wrong at your end. If it extracts one archive it should have no issues extracting the other. I'm not sure how to help.

I was lured back to the stock setup when I saw 2.3.6 pop up, have installed XWKK5.

The first thing I noticed that ALL screen lag has disappeared compared to stock 2.3.5, even with the stock kernel.

I'm running the speedmod k2-18(10) kernel with it now and after 3 Quadrant runs, I'm getting ~4600 (doesn't mean much though).

Will stick with stock again for a while, all I want in the end is smoothness and great battery which 2.3.6 has already half delivered! :D

where did you guys got the root for the new xwKK2 \xwkk5 is the same ? ? I'm waiting for something like cf-root or checkrom before downloading it !

After going to speedmod kernel is it necessary to flash new official or Frankenstein ROMs as they releases? Or how do i do that? I know this question should be reserved for later.

And i always hit the Thanks Button as you are being greatly helpful and will thank chainfire for his great work.

KK5+Speedmod Quick n dirty review

KK5 2.3.6 Frankenstein Review:

------------------------------------

Firstly a BIG thanks to Intratech...

So I just flashed an hour ago and things are looking good. Updating to this is a no brainer for anyone on stock Fw, cuz it takes 5 mins and it's quite an improvement. Guys on custom will prob need to wait a while for their fav ROMs to be ported to 2.3.6.

Any hoo, everything seems smoother and I personally feel like the touchscreen response has also been tweaked. I've heard that battery performance is also better and a lot of small tweaks and fixes have been done. I am using KK5 with Speedmod k2-18test12 and I love it. Will post battery performance results in a day or two. Also I got a quadrant score of 4640, which means nothing, but still!
[Galaxy S II General] planetf1:
Thanks @intratech

Flashed the KK5 Frankenstein + Modem KI1 with ODIN

Then speedmod k18-test12

Then jig reset

Seems fine so far, though it was just before sleep so too early to tell

* I used the KI1 modem as this was the last one officially shipped by vodafone and seems to be more reliable for me. I also had gps issues with some others.

* I was going to use mobile odin (and bought it) but there was some discussion it was too late to follow in @chainfire's thread

@ Sayem...

Go ahead with KK5. I flashed the KK2 yesterday...& now KK5 is out...will do it today. KK2 seems to be good without any issues. too early to post bat stats.

As It_ler posted earlier u can use the mobile odin.

In this way the y.triangle & incr. counter will not be affected. First u flash the franken package, then u flash the speedmod kernel. that all. no need to reflash anything again. But if u need to flash another latest fw then the process need to be done again.

Since i am a bit conservative, i almost always depend on the standard odin to flash!! So, cant tell on how to go in with mobile odin flash..Hope It_let will have some solution as always:D
