If those are the current firmware details for your device then that device is from the Netherlands. There are XEN firmwares on the first page of this thread.

I know what model the phone is that's why im in this fourm, but i dont know what country the firmware is from. All i know is that it's not a North American firmware. I'm looking to put a North America firmware on it.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Bell Canada and Virgin Canada firmware are in the carrier firmware thread. I don't think any of the American carriers have the I9100, they have have some bastardised version of the Galaxy S2. I also answered you already about country of origin if you care to read.

Nope none of them carry the I9100. The closest version to the international model is the one offered by AT&T

This is for those Brazukas who are eager to get a newer "official" Android version...

You can try this KK1 (Android 2.3.6) w/ root, w/o counter increasing, no triangle, ZTO (Brazilian retail), PT-BR, among other features. Give it a shot: http://www.portalandroid.org/comunidade/viewtopic.php?f=84&t=13898&p=115482#p115482

Cheers!
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Dude if you're going to do this then please start your own thread so you can give help and support to people who flash your stuff. This is only going to add more unintended stuff to this thread.

Also flashing the firmware won't increase the binary counter, it increases when you flash an unsigned kernel. Following the re-written rooting guide you can now root the devices without the need for insecure kernels and as such we can now flash and root any firmware without the binary counter incrementing.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Definitely gonna add even more confusion and questions as well.

@Intratech -

You mean if I decide to build a FRANKENSTEIN for all LKL users I hafto to create a new thread? If so, why? XDA staff think I cannot post about FRANKENSTEIN in here?

I thought I was allowed to tell Brazilian users about BRAZILIAN FRANKENSTEINs in this thread...

In other words, I guess I don't hafto create a new thread to talk about those FRANKENSTEINs when there is a thread that has to do with FRANKENSTEINs (

Samsung Galaxy S II I9100Galaxy S II Original Android Development[ROM+Guide]Official i9100 Firmwares KG, KH1/2/3/4, KI1/2/3/4/8, KJ1/2/3 Download

) already.

I didn't mean to mess with YOUR (what?) thread.

As for the rooting process you reported... it's great! ;)

BTW, I can't deny how good you are on tar and how I love your stock kernels. Don't understand why your threads haven't been sticked yet... :)

Cheers!
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
What Intratech is trying to say is that this is his thread, as such, if we flash something that he has uploaded, he will try to assist.

You have introduced something Intratech did not upload, but many users would look to Intratech for assistance for something that he has no real relationship with, it will also clutter this thread with something that was uploaded or provided by you, so to avoid this, create your own thread so users can go into that thread for any assistance/information they may want concerning what you have uploaded

It has nothing to do with XDA staff, it has to do with common sense and etiquette....:)

[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Thank you, very well written response. :)

Riz it's nothing against you or the work you do mate but it's kind of like when people keep asking about firmwares from samfirmware and I don't know anything about those files or what was done to them so it's kind of hard to help.

I notice that there are a number of Brazilians (<George Bush> Wow, that's a lot. How much is a Brazilian, ****?.</George Bush>) on the forum so maybe you can start an official Brazilian thread. Just a suggestion.:)

OXF Individual CSC

Hey Intratech!

I am enjoying a SGSII since yesterday and your thread made light in the firmware flashing activity for me. A lot of usefull info and great work afterall.

I installed a Frankenstein packadge (KJ3) with XEU csc and it doesn t really matches with my region.

It would be very nice of you to complette the infividual CSC list with another one, just to keep everyone happy:p

I am talking about OXF which is for Romania including. You can find the most recent on the XWKF3 packadges. It would be very nice of you.

Thank you very much!
[Galaxy S II General] dtrinh4000:
thanks for doing this !!!!
[Galaxy S II General] ndnesh:
I Have a small doubt.. i am sure it has been addressed in this thread before, but just wanted to ask. getting the hang of my S2 and flashing.

Scenario 1: I Flash the KJ3 ROM through ODIN, then, i flash the CSC for India. This wipes the phone, correct??

Scenario 2: I flash the KJ3 ROM by putting it in PDA Section in ODIN, and simultaneously i put the India CSC package in CSC. Will this wipe or wont wipe??

Looking for the answers for this as i dont want to wipe, dont want a different CSC in the Phone.

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
XWKJ3 ROM is non-wipe version.

I recommend to use the Frankenstein version.

Then it is no problem to put XWKJ3 ROM into PDA and your Indian CSC into CSC section of Odin and flash all at once.

As I said, it won't wipe your phone.

Only if your current CSC is different than the one you want to use, and you change the CSC explicitly (this is possible in MultiCSCs only) by dialing *#272*Device IMEI# (as described in Intratech's third post) or by using a CSC Select app, your phone will be wiped.

If you do not change your CSC explicitly (by this code or a CSC Select app), your phone will not be wiped.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II General] ndnesh:
Thank you!! Will flash now!! :) Thank you for your explanation. It really clears up all my doubts :)
[Galaxy S II General] atilla88:
Hey guys.

Just one short question.

Is it better do flash with wipe or is a non wipe firmware version as good as with wipe?does it have any stability differences?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Wiping is always a more stable way of getting a new rom running. Especially if you don't want to change it for a while afterwards.

I'm always compelled to wipe before flashing a new rom. Just depends how lazy I feel at that particular moment lol :p

Hi intratech,

I am from the philippines, is it possible to create our csc for flashing? It is xtc part of a multi csc i think. Also, will that be flashed under the pda field of Odin?

Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S II General] timberwolf60:
Those Europian ROM without XTC CSC. Most likely it will in DXKI2 2.3.3 ROM which was the ROM for SEA.
[Galaxy S II General] Anakha56:
My phone is currently in a state where by it wont boot past the Samsung Boot screen. Long story short I tried to flash a new kernel and the phone sat at a black screen for ~10 minutes so I pulled the battery out and now it sits with a black screen after the boot screen. I can still access the download mode and here is where my question comes in, can I flash the KH3 firmware through Odin even though I was using a KI4 ROM? Also since this PC has never seen KIES before would it cause a problem with drivers?
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
There is a zip with just the drivers floating about somewhere. I would suggest flashing a wipe package and doing a factory reset after as well.

Or, you can go with the root path and flash a CF-Root kernel in ODIN. Then you can flash any custom rom you like in recovery mode.

[Galaxy S II General] :
So, finally I decided to load the Package from Intratech's branded package thread....I took the new one from "3 Austria"...KI8.

Everything worked fine, thanks for all your hints.

Only thing that surprised me is the fact that altough this is a "official" package...KIES does not see this as an updateable phone any more...

A question..in case I flach back the original package that has been on this phone (the XWKI4 with ATO unbranded CSC)...will it then be again recognized by KIES?

So is this linked between package and IMEI?

And:No, it's not important for me to be able to flash via KIES....
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Try flashing back to your original rom.

Usually if the rom and csc you're running is from your region, kies should be able to detect updates.

Please help

I am having Indian Sgs2 Android 2.3.3 with Baseband I9100DDKE4

Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555 root@DELL101#2

Build Number GINGERBREAD.XWKF3

I am having issues with battery not charging properly when phone is turned on, Wi-fi is always stuck at obtaining IP.

I want to move from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5. I know how to use ODIN for kernel but i am confused which one should i go for? If someone tell me it would be very helpful. Should i go for XWKF3 as i am having it before or XWKE8 or any other. and Should i go for Generic or Stock (what is the difference?) PLEASE HELP
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Look at Intratech's third post "Frankenstein Firmwares" and download XWKJ3 - the latest Frankenstein version.

This is non-wipe and stable.

Just put it into PDA section of Odin and flash it to your phone.

If you want or need an Indian CSC, feel free to download it from the third post too. And put it into CSC section of Odin when flashing the XWKJ3 ROM => both files at once.

If you do not root your phone by flashing a rooted kernel, then you won't need the stock kernel.

(It is only needed for getting rid of the yellow triangle after flashing an insecure kernel.)

Please remember to backup everything you do not want to lose before flashing.

And wipe cache partition in recovery mode (Volume UP + Home + Power) after flashing.

Just to prevent most forced closes (FCs) issues.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II General] awesome-member:
:rolleyes: can any one please lead me to flashable modem zips. i am particularly interested in XXK14. I wouldn't mind the tar:rolleyes: .the firmware has a single file and not separate modem. yes i have searched the forum before you ask but not found them
[Galaxy S II General] fgar82:
just take out the batt and put it back on nd press to go to recovery , thats it.
[Galaxy S II General] Anakha56:
Done that multiple times, cannot access recovery. I remember seeing that the phone booted into a Android package screen after Odin and performed the /wipe data and /wipe cache modes. It then also proceeded to set location (I think it was to "KOR") and I think that is where my problem lies. So I am going to download the multi-csc KH3 firmware from sammobile and see if that makes a difference.
[Galaxy S II General] ortaliz:
Thanks timberwolf but I want a separate CSC package because I want to install XWKJ3 and not my stock FW.

Hoping intratech can help me here... thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S II General] timberwolf60:
If you need multi OXA CSC, You can downloading KI3 from Sammobile which have seperate individual PDA, CSC and modem. If you need the the multi OXX CSC which was in intratech thread here. Sammoile also have a multi CSC topic which was the combination of OXA and OXX CSC.

OXX CSC have: XSK, XEZ, XEO, XEH, XEE, VOM, VDH, TRG,TPH, TMS, TDC, SUN, SEB, PAN, ORS, ORG, ODK, NEE, EUR, DNF, CYO, COS and AUT.

OXA CSC have: (XEU, XEO, XEF, KOR, ITV, DBT, CPW)

You were in boot loop problem, but weird you can't boot to recovery mode. When in recovery mode you just need to do factory reset will solved the problem.
[Galaxy S II General] Anakha56:
I know, my boss even tried to get into Recovery & Download mode with my phone and no success. The jig still gets me into download mode so I am still in with a shout :P. Busy downloading my carrier firmware just to be on the safe side and so I can at least go back to them and say "I dont know" it just rebooted and stayed at this screen... :P

your samsung account password.
[Galaxy S II General] timberwolf60:
This will format your internal sd card as well. Password:1234.

If you want to keep XXKI4 modem, then you should put the modem file into PHONE section of Odin while putting the Frankenstein ROM into PDA section and flash all at once.

Hi again Intratech, thanks a lot for providing new firmwares for our babes constantly.

My question: i'm using frankestein PDA: XWKJ3| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: XEUKH2 but i've change the csc to spanish FOPKI1. I'm so happy with the new fw, however wifi is not working properly sometiems (it's the firts time it happens to me and i've used more than 10 different fw revisions). Do you think if i change modem to XXKI4 would make a difference and improve wifi stability?

Thanks a lot in advance.

By the way (for sure they have already asked you but...) when do you expect an official o leaked fw with ICS? :D
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
It's the kernel that includes drivers for wifi, so just switch back to firmware that worked well for you.

Also, ICS testing is already in Alpha phase. I imagine there's not too long left to wait.

[Galaxy S II General] AsgardFleet:
I tried to root it with Odin. The phone now will not switch on nor respond to any mutton presses, so I cannot get it back into download/recovery mode.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
You can flash just the modem file in PHONE section of Odin.

Odin will only flash what you specify - missing parts won't be flashed / overwritten, so they will remain unchanged.

But you should make a backup before flashing, just in case ...

---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 PM ----------

Try the following:

1. Pull battery out for about 2 minutes.

2. Put battery back into the phone.

3. Start into recovery mode (Volume UP + Home + Power), and hold the three buttons as long as you can see the recovery menu.

4. Wipe cache partition (and if you have CWM recovery, clear Dalvik cache in Advanced menu too).

5. Reboot your phone.

Hope this helps !

If not, then you should try to start in download mode and flash a stock ROM again.

The try to start in recovery mode after flashing and make a factory reset.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II General] sayem_unlimited:
Thanks for your help. will update soon.

And about forced close issues, when i updated last time i didn't wipe cache partition as mentioned above (cause i didn't know about it), so it it possible to wipe it now? cause sometime i get forced closes (FCs) issues after updating to XXKI4.

thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Yeah you can wipe cache any time. Also you can try going to advanced menu - fix permissions.

No Joy!!! Would appreciate the help..

Hi Mate,

i am really not sure what to do and I would really appreciate if you could help.

I had used old BL and your atached file and still can't use the USB Jig.

I had managed to use it on S1 I9000 and it works fine but with my SGSII i9100 it doesn't? Is there a diffrent ones for each or it's the same?

I flashed back to XWKE7 just to get the Jig to work but nothing happening.

I was on XXKI3 RHD V2.7.1 and moved to XWKJ3 RHD 3.1.1.

Cheers mate..
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It's simple. One the first page of this thread you will find the old bootloader that allows you to use the Jig to reset your binary count. Download it and flash the file with Odin as specified and Bob's your uncle.
[Galaxy S II General] rayw:
Hi Mate,

I've done so and nothing is happening.

I've read lots but no luck.

I've tried the BL in both PDA and BL in odin but with no luck.

Please help if you can? I a not sure but do you think the Jig isn't good enough? as it does work on SGS1 i9000 fine?

Cheers,
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It looks like your Jig isn't working well then. When you turn off the phone and put the Jig in the microUSB port does the phone boot into download mode?

Just for fun please outline in steps exactly what you did from getting the firmware, flashing it, flashing bootloader and trying the Jig reset.
[Galaxy S II General] rayw:
Hi,

I have done it with my i9000 and just boots into download mode fine, but with my SGSII nothing happened even with the old bootloader.

Well here is the steps:

First I thought I will just flash the old BL with Odin in either BL or PDA as stated in page 1 of this thread, but nothing happened when i insert the Jig the phone remains off.

So I thought I will go back to anything before XXKI and went all the way to XWKE7 and did all the resets I can and still no luck.

I even tried to do a flash with both the firmware (XWKE7) & Old BL in Odin and still no luck.

hope this helps...
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Your Jig doesn't work with the SGS 2, you need one that's compatible.

edit: Why the hell are you flashing the bootloader on the I9000? :eek::eek:
