the eagerly awaited?

An Android insider at an Android gathering in LA this morning revealed that that Google, HTC, and Samsung are doing everything they can to bring Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) to their smartphone devices. Your LA Gadgets Examiner specifically asked about the EVO 3D and was told it should be pushed out sometime next month. “The same with the Galaxy S II on all carriers,” he added.

Google’s Android Ice Cream Sandwich operating system debuted last month to excellent reviews. The first smartphone to carry it will be the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, due on Verizon by the end of the year.

During the gathering, it was also revealed that despite the fact that 3D smartphone sales haven’t gone through the roof, Samsung is preparing a 3D Android phone that will be available at the end of the first quarter in 2012

I;m using the XWKJ1 Frankenstien and have found that every time I boot up my wifi hotspot, I need to reset my hotspot settings. Has anyone else found this?
[Galaxy S II General] SaneinOne:
A known issue from what I recall.
[Galaxy S II General] lichbane:
Do the later firmwares fix this?

Hello, I would just like to get confirmed for me is this kj3 frankenstain odexed or is it deodexed? (:

Yup. Exactly, so is it a hardware issue?
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
A fix has been posted in this thread already

you should go back and thank his post if it helps you
[Galaxy S II General] HBK82:
Tried it. Entered *2767*3855# and exactly nothing happen.
[Galaxy S II General] lichbane:
I would if I understood it. But as far as I can gather it requires rooting the phone.

So is there another way to fix this? One that a noob can understand?
[Galaxy S II General] tasty_boy:

[Galaxy S II General] mbutandola:

[Galaxy S II General] atifsh:
i didnt read whole thread so dont know if its mentioned or not (its your job to read whole thread :P)

1: flash cwm 5.0.2.3 using odin (from here)

2: remove battery, than goto recovery.

3: format system along with data and cache and sdcard, you can also clear dalvic from advanced.

4: now power off remove battery, and put it back,

5: power on and if you get stuck at samsung logo that means internal storage has been erased.

6: when you can erase you can write :)

Note: now there is a possibility that even after erase, you cant write back and have non usuable phone, so you have been warned, but if you already have a non functioning phone you can try. anyway hope this helps.
[Galaxy S II General] HBK82:
Well actually the phone is still fully functioning. Just stuck with checkrom revolution even after flashing the stock rom multiple times.
[Galaxy S II General] atifsh:
well than its your go, just to clear this incase...

when you do *2767*3855# nothing happens or you have to setup the initial setup again.

when you in recovery do same that is clear data cache does your google account and stuff remains or they get cleared?

asking cause if they are clearing than i may give formating system a shot with some praying :)

wrong link for CSC?

Hi Intratech, i wanted to download

MultiCSC OXXKI2: http://www.multiupload.com/L8DKDSAQS8

MultiCSC Packages contains the following CSC: AUT, COS, CYO, DBT, DCM, DNF, EUR, FWB, KOR, LUX, NEE, OMN, ORG, ORS, PAN, PLS, SEB, SUN, SWC, TMS, TPH, VDH, VIA, VOM, XEE, XEH, XEO, XEZ, XSK.

but i got the file MultiCSC_OXA_I9100OXXKI2.exe and this doesn't include DBT CSC

could you pls check that and thx for your work
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Oh, I also had this MultiCSC flashed to my phone and did not recognize.

As I am always running with XEU CSC and everything works fine for me, I do not care about flashing any other CSC any more ... And I am using the XEUKH2 now, which is included in Intratech's Frankenstein ROM already.

DBT is for German Debitel.

Do you really need this customization?
[Galaxy S II General] creamynal:
I just wanted to inform about that, i don't care much about it as long as my phone can make & rec. calls and send / rec. SMS. Long time i had it running korean without i noticed.
[Galaxy S II General] timberwolf60:
MultiCSC_OXA_I9100OXXKI2 which was an OXX Multi CSC. If you used I9100OXAKI3 which I was using and you will have the fellowing CSC code: XEU, XEO, XEF, KOR, ITV, DBT, CPW. Used CSC select downloaded from market to choose your CSC. Backup your data first because it will wipe all your data.

hi

i want the latest official europ generic full rom with at least 3 or 5 files

which link i must use.

most of them were 1 file after extracted

i want something like kh3 that was 5 files but need newer 2.3.5 firmware

thank you in advance
[Galaxy S II General] :
Why do you need 3 or 5 files when all is in one? huh..

Anyway latest official XEU firmware is 2.3.4

Use Frankenstein firmware if you want 2.3.5 (XWKJ3 XEU is latest).

In stalled This package : PDA: XWKJ3| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: XEUKH2

Everthing works well until i restore my apps and data using Titanium backup .... :(

The i keep getting a message saying " com.android.phone has been force to close "

Is one of the files im restoring causing this problem ??

[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
If you do not want one file non-wipe version from Intratech, then have a look at SamMobile => http://www.sammobile.com/showthread.php?t=23&highlight=Samsung+I9100+Galaxy+Firmwares

As I do not know their versions (I prefer Intratech's Frankenstein versions), you have to search for the ROM you want to use yourself.

To get the download link, you have to register at SamMobile first.

Good luck !

Hi see the image attached wipe data for dialer storage.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Hmm ... ?!

This ROM is non-wipe.

Why did you have to restore your apps?

Nevertheless, I think you accidentially restored system apps as well.

That is something you should not do.

Use Titanium Backup only to backup&restore user apps.

Try to wipe cache partition in recovery mode (Volume UP + Home + Power).

If you have got CWM then clear Dalvik cache as well.

Then you can try to clear the app data - like described in above post.

If that does not help, try to restore your last system (nandroid) backup - if existing and not too old.

If that does not help either, you may have to flash the ROM again.

I flashed it as non-wipe and all apps were still there - I did not have any FCs.

Good luck !

Ok. Can anyone please help me. My stock email was working fine with XWKJ1 frankenstein. Yesterday i upgraded to XWKJ2 everything else is fine but my stock email just keeps refreshing but no emails. How to correct this. I have now tried wipe / factory reset and almost done this flashing 3 times but always same results. please help out
[Galaxy S II General] amitoberoi:
Hi.

I think u should go for k9 mail which is free and is far far better than the stock email app.

Just a bit of advise.

I was considering installing the XWKJ3 firmware, but when downloaded I only found an md5 file inside the archive of the official one...Should I install the Dutch one? I'd like English language...

Cheers!
[Galaxy S II General] juraj.s:
md5 is fine... just dont rename it and use it as it is in PDA section of odin.

There is nothing wrong with dutch one, English and plenty of other languages are present. If you like to customize, you can use frankenstein package + CSC of your choice.

Wow, I just flashed the Frankenstein XWKJ3, it comes with a demo video called simply "DEMO" in the videos app, and it is unbelievably stunning on my screen (my phone is probably about 4months old now, the super amoled+ has worn in nicely compared to out of the box, not to mention newer f/ws seemed to have improved the colour). Thanks Intratech for not butchering stuff out of these roms like all the custom rom people tend to do! Otherwise I may never have seen this gem on my screen.
[Galaxy S II General] Hilmesh:
there is no proxy. It was working earlier then while installing blue theme my phone went into boot loop so I re flashed. The surprising thing is my email keeps refreshing but does not give error. Please help. Right now am using Frankenstein XWKJ3

hi, i`ve come from the cf-root thread, looking for BUKG2 official kernal.

didnt see it on the 1st page...
[Galaxy S II General] Hilmesh:
what do you mean by cm 7 gmail?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Let me guess ... cm 7 = CyanogenMod 7.

So, the customized Google Mail app from this Custom ROM is meant.

---------- Post added at 04:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ----------

Please do the following:

1. Get your stock ROM.

E.g. download it from SamMobile => http://www.sammobile.com/showthread.php?t=23&highlight=Samsung+I9100+Galaxy+Firmwares

You have to register for downloading.

You will get a rar file.

2. Extract the rar file of your stock ROM.

Use 7zip for extraction.

Password is also written in the first post of SamMobile thread.

You will see a folder containing a tar file.

3. Open tar file of your stock ROM.

Use 7zip to open.

Choose all contained files except the zImage.

Then choose Delete.

After this you have a tar file which only contains the zImage file of your stock ROM.

This is your stock kernel.

4.

a) Flash this stock kernel with Odin to your phone.

b) Alternatively you can flash the zImage file directly to your phone using the CWM Manager app of your CF-Root:

Copy the zImage file to the internal SD card of your phone - in the root folder you see when the phone is connected to your PC.

Open CWM Manager app, choose flash kernel and choose the zImage file you have copied to the internal SD card of your phone.

Good luck !

Edit:

This is Austria One

Which ROM to install?

Hi I'm currently using XWKI4 (2.3.4) XEU

If I wanted to update to the latest version for EU (/UK) markets, which version should I download/upgrade to?

On the first thread are so many different options I'm not quite sure which to go for.

I'm looking for the latest stock ROM as KIES isn't recognising my firmware at the moment (just comes up blank) and want to be on the latest firmware version.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
I recommend XWKJ3 as Frankenstein version.

Just flash this ROM from Intratech's third post.

This will be XEU (UK) and latest version for European stock/official ROM.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S II General] DJ 1:
ok cheers ppl, i have not registered for the sammobile site yet, i had a look at the other Intratech thread linked,

Although it is not killing the battery like it would on the SGS I am getting what seems to be about 2.5% per hour drop in battery with wifi, sync, signal boost on & Android OS sitting at 89% Should this be a concern? After having an SGS since week of release & this SGS 2 only 2 days is why i'm asking as I don't know if high Android OS is normal on SGS 2.

5. Select wipe data/factory reset

6. Press home key

7. Wait for it to wipe and reboot.

Hahahaha! You guys realise that the ICS source code hasn't even been released yet to the public right? Also the flagship ICS development platform hasn't hit retail as yet so all of these have to be taken into account when you think about Samsung releasing ICS for the SGS2. Soon doesn't mean this week or next, it means not too long in the future. :p

EDIT: Just to clarify, I don't know anything about the date to expect it to be available either so apart from "soon" you guys know as much as I do.
[Galaxy S II General] akbarhash:
Haha. Just checking. I was thinking about it today and since you were around thought I would confirm it.

Edit: I do realize that the official release is way off but my hopes are still high for a leaked build soon (I know may not be a possibility in November) because Samsung was involved in the development of Galaxy Nexus.

And also we didn't get a port working so maybe some kind Samsung engineer can help out soon.

Sorry for the dumb post, but i have tried to read and read to understand how to change the csc for the phone.

Right now i am dizzy after all the reading.

I have rooted the device long time ago, been flashing kernels,modems and rooms dozen times. But cant understand to only change the csc.

I even tried 'csc select' for the marked, ended up stuck on yellow triangle, so its was all over again.

Now i am back on track, running Checkrom Revolution V3.1.1 XWKJ3 (multi csc), still figuring about which modem works best for me (KH3, KI3, KI4)

as I understand it, i can choose whatever under "Individual CSC Packages"

And flash only CSC with ODIN?

And it doesn't matter which modem, or firmware im running?

Since Im from norway, do i flash this one: Telenor Norway TENKF1 CSC, or maybe something with XEE?

Took me only 40min to write this.

Very nice work you are doing.
