I want to ask something. I have XWKI4/XXKI1/OXXKI2(EUR) in my phone flashed from kies. I want to flash XXKI3 which as i understand is for Poland. How can i revert csc to EUR if i flash the firmware with Odin?Is that possible? And what is the procedure? First i flash the firmware,then i flash a multi csc and then i change csc by typing *#272*Device IMEI#? And what multi csc i have to flash?(is MultiCSC OXXKI2 ok to flash with XXKI3 firmware?). Sorry for all the questions...

Boot.bin Cache.img Data.img Factoryfs.img Param.lfs ????

I know how the whole Odin firmware update process works, as I've successfully flashed my device on several occasions.

I want to install the following firmware:

XWKI4:http://www.multiupload.com/85P5CVW9G5

Firmware info: PDA:XWKI4 |PHONE: XXKI1|CSC:OXFKE1

Now it says: "This has been packaged with the old bootloader so you can reset the flash counter with the Jig".

What the heck does this mean?????:mad: I've already done a search.

Also, when I downloaded and unpacked the file, I get the following:

boot.bin

cache (disc image file)

factoryfs (disc image file)

hidden (disc image file)

modem.bin

param.lfs

Sbl.bin

zImage

What do I do now?

Please help!

Thanks,

Andrew

If you were comfortable with ODIN, then you should know that you were not supposed to unzip the TAR file, you are supposed to put the file that YOU unzipped in the PDA section of ODIN and flash, maybe you need a refresher course with ODIN. It was hidden in the words in the Opening Post

The old bootloader apply to those users who flash custom kernels on their device then use a USB Jig to reset the flash counter, Samsung has packaged newer firmwares with a new bootloader to prevent the reset of the counter when the JIG is used.

More reading, less angry faces would make it easier for you, also you may need to revise your searching ability.....:)

Geez a rookie mistake! :eek:

4200*2 is not equal to 4800

So you can't really agree with his friend depending on the data provided try some other benchmark software.

Yes if the jig works old bootloader otherwise new bootloader.
[Galaxy S II General] d3l1:
Intratech, what files belong to the bootloader. I want to try something: flash the old bootloader, reset the counter, flash the new bootloader. In theory that should work, shouldn`t it?

Thanks in advance for the info!
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yes.

Here is the new bootloader tarball. It will self-extract and you can flash the tarball by putting it in bootloader or PDA of Odin.

[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Flash the CSC and the firmware at the same time. OXXKI2 is fine.
[Galaxy S II General] clio16v:
So i put the tar file of the firmware in the PDA section of Odin and the multi csc file in csc section of Odin and flash? Is there a problem that the firmware is only one file and not a version with the three files so i can replace the stock csc of the firmware with the multi csc?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yes Firmware tarball in PDA and CSC tarball in CSC. If there was a problem don't you think this thread would have been like a hailstorm of complaints?

Hi, I have a question.

I am trying to flash the XEU 2.3.5 in my UK phone, but I downloaded the FRankestain version. And it is showing as an .exe file.

I am using Ubuntu and Heimdall.

But the file is supposed to be a .tar file. Instead, it shows as .exe.

Any idea of what to do in this case?

Thank you

[Galaxy S II General] adityasen:
My APN is correct - and hasn't changed since I flashed the new firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] d3l1:
Have you or anyone else tried something like that (flash old bootloader to reset the counter, then flash new bootloader again) already?

Im using KI3 firmware stock from 4 days and i don't have any problem till now. Im just wondering why the OS Android in the battery usage statistics is always on top with 45%-50% of usage? I freezed some processes and application with Titanium...is this normal?
[Galaxy S II General] d3l1:
Maybe this can help you: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1290020
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
As the exe file is a 7zip compressed file, you should try to de-compress it with e.g. p7zip.

Check ubuntuuser's wiki or go directly to 7zip's download page => http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

Maybe you have to change the filename extention to .7z or .zip to be recognized as 7zip archive.

By the way:

I had Ubuntu running on my private laptop some months ago, but for some compatibility reasons with my company's laptop, I had to switch back to windows :(

Good luck !

Have you already tried a CSC for your carrier?

You can find two CSC for Optus in Frankenstein section.

P.S.:

Something that you will have checked already - just to be sure.

In Settings menu -> Wireless/Network -> Mobile Networks -> activate option for paket data.

Sorry Ingo, I do not know HK3 ROM.

Maybe it is only a spelling error/typo and you mean KH3?!

KH3 is Android 2.3.4 and KI1 is 2.3.4, too.

So, that is not a difference at the first look.

There are some differences between the various 2.3.4 ROM versions - most are minor changes.

So, if you do not need to move, just don't do it.

I would recommend an update to KI3, which is Android 2.3.5 - the current version for SGS2 at the moment.

This version is stable and has no severe problems (to me).

So, IMO ... if you really want to flash a new ROm to your phone, use the latest stable version.

unexpected change with 2.3.5

here's something strange i haven't read about anywhere else. flashed 2.3.5 last night via ODIN. everything is in english as promised....but....swype user manual and help prompts are in Dutch? and my swype settings say english. tutorial is in english.

can anyone suggest a fix?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
In swype settings remove the tick from the other languages apart from English.
[Galaxy S II General] gc3:
Yeah, that was the first thing I checked. Only English US is checked on all language settings in any place they exist. I changed again and rebooted the S2. Help still comes up in dutch. Very odd. Also, the prompt for "do you want to add this word" while using swype also comes up in dutch. but the tutorial and keyboard are only english, with no option to switch to other languages unless i go to the swype language settings. Very odd.

Is it possible to get stock rom (2.3.3 or 2.3.4 or 2.3.5) containing Croatian language and Croatian CSC (together or in separate .tar files)

[Galaxy S II General] wildoat:
I had similar even after changing settings just to have English ticked.

hi

i have on my s2 ,latest firmware 2.3.5,but appear one problem,the phone sometimes restart,without a reason,what is the problem,its a original rom,not custom,please help.
[Galaxy S II General] nuscape:
Try to switch from US English to UK english, uncheck all other languages. After that switch back to US English. That will do the trick.

I think this is a bug.
[Galaxy S II General] aqualeris:
Thank you so much! I think I'll do a full wipe and install the Poland one! Since I don't really understand the difference between Frankenstein and stock rom i'll just stick with stock rom. Gonna install CF-root though since I'll be needing root and CF kernel seems the easiest way. Does CF-root offer similar great battery life I've heard about the new stock kernel?
[Galaxy S II General] gc3:
Bingo! Thanks....is all back on track.
[Galaxy S II General] HellRazorGod:
Is it just me or the battery drain is humongous when the browser is on. I just have a normal webpage like xda or fb open and I'm losing 4-5% battery in less than 5 mins at min brightness. Using stock KI3 Kernel. Other kernels also give a similar experience. Had anyone else noticed this off late? I mean most of the kernels are reducing offscreen battery life, barely on :S
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
I notice none of the above

New bootloader?

I've noticed that bootloader file changed in stock Norway (Telenor) KI8 and it differs than Non-Usb-Jig Friendly bootloader from stock KI4.

Can somebody check how does it perform UsbJigwise?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Been speaking to Odia and he's discovered the packet command to reset the counter has changed in the new bootloader.

68 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

and if ok

68 00 00 00 01 00 00 00

I've already passed the info along to the Author of Heimdall so he can update it so if you use a cable with integrated Jig it will reset the counter after a flash. For now I upload all the firmwares with the old bootloader. There is also a tarball with the old bootloader that you can flash independently if you want to reset your unsigned binary count.
[Galaxy S II General] Morph3R:
Are we talking about "new" bootloader from KI8?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
YES...............
[Galaxy S II General] petsasj:
Did you hear back from the author of Heimdall for that matter? If he says he'll update the application, it'd be best to purchase a usb cable with a jig integrated, they don't cost much anyways.
[Galaxy S II General] stalkerrus:
Where can u find one? I searched on Ebay and Dealextreme and did not find anything.
[Galaxy S II General] petsasj:
Had seen one a few weeks back on ebay but now i can't find it.
[Galaxy S II General] mbutandola:
Hi Guys,

Hope I get an answer this time. I flashed the KI3 frankeinstein version a while ago. When I realised I had inherited a corean CSC, I flashed the KEF one from this thread with odin.

Although when I dial in *#1234# my CSC is listed as KEF, when I dial in *#272#IMEI... I only have KOR in the box.

Besides, SpoofFW shows my product code as GT-I9100LKAKOR. So I assume that the product code is different from the CSC and flashing the rom changed my product code.

Can anybody help me on this?

Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] gc3:
Does this NEE Nordic version include English languages (UK and US)?
[Galaxy S II General] jenskristian:

[Galaxy S II General] taxexpert:
I used an original nokia usb cable ,but with KE2 i have't any problem.
[Galaxy S II General] gyaku_zuki:
Hey guys. I'm on O2 branding and KE2 via Kies. I rooted and got Titanium Backup PRO.

I would like faster updates via KIES or Odin and see that KE7 is out. Point is, by now I've kinda customised my phone nicely, set up apps and emails and settings and so on. But, I hear that to properly set the CSC to XEU, you must factory reset.

My question is this - between Kies Backup and Titanium Backup, can I factory reset to fix CSC, then just restore these two backups and basically be right back to all my nicely customised phone? I'm mainly talking SMS messages, contacts, settings, email and apps really.

Additionally, I'm curious if NOT factory resetting leaves crap around in the phone (like doing an upgrade install of Windows). Will all this debranding, rooting and upgrading leave lots of little fragments of things?

If KIES backup will keep all my settings and stuff, and Titanium will keep all my apps and their data, should I just do a factory reset anyway then?
[Galaxy S II General] dazmancumbria:
I plug it in to pc and tried to update with KIES makes all the right signs, and even gives me the box at the end saying its complete. BUT when i check its still on the xwkdd kenel version ......

Do i have to done some thing to make it accept the firmware ??
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I don't use KIES so won't be able to help much. This thread is about using Odin to update the firmware.:)
[Galaxy S II General] dazmancumbria:
so from kdd kernal , can i upgrade to KE7 using Odin ??
[Galaxy S II General] Mujja:
Don't know, can you? Follow the guide and let us know.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
You can upgrade from anything to XWKE7 using Odin. The firmware updates are self contained packages and are not dependant on any previous firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] gyaku_zuki:
Hey Intratech any thoughts on my last post? Really keen to know if I'll need to do a factory reset given the circumstances. Thanks,
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Maybe you need to change USB cable to the one that was supplied with the phone or maybe use another USB port on the PC. I'm pretty sure it's something at your end preventing you from successfully flashing. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Well I haven't used KIES so dunno how that will work but upon resetting and flashing I found that the phone magically restored my settings, from the Google backup, and downloaded all my apps without me doing anything. I just had to restore my apps data using Titanium Backup, not the whole application and I was back up and running. Pretty painless to be honest.

edit: For your CSC issue, assuming you've already flashed the firmware version you want to run (XWKE7???), reset the phone and then flash back the same firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] gyaku_zuki:
I haven't yet flashed KE7, just trying to know what I'll have to restore once I do, as I know I'll have to fix the CSC by factory restoring (since I'm on O2U atm - the flash of KE7 will screw up my CSC, right?)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It should change it to XEU.
[Galaxy S II General] gyaku_zuki:
Well, with any luck I won't need to factory reset then. But if I do, I'm hoping Google, KIES and Titanium will all help me get back running in no time ;)

Hi,

I am on a o2 branded KE2 which i have been from day one.

I would like to use odin to update my phone to KE7 as it seems I will have better control of whats happening.

However I have been hearing reports of counters and warrantee void therefore I am asking if I use I update to the stock KE7 will it be any different from updating through kies (itsead of the unbranding)??

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] gyaku_zuki:
Just thought I'd report my results - KIES was useless and failed to restore a buttload of stuff (erroring out on call logs). Google restored most of my apps and contacts, and titanium got the apps and their data. I had to set up my accounts (email, facebook, twitter) again, and so I lost any contact links. I also lost my home screen and applications layout information.

Not too bad really. Now I'm happily on KE7 and all unbranded :D
