I just got my first Android phone and kind of overwhelmed with all the new information. I got i9100M which is a Canadian version. I rooted it with the CF-Root-SGS2_JP_XSG_KG2-v4.1-CWM4 kernel. Now I want to install a generic firmware to remove all the bloatware that is installed by the provider. What is the best solution for me?

hi intratech :)

Is the stock KL1 (India) firmware wipe or non-wipe?
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
I'm pretty sure all firmwares are non-wipe unless stated otherwise. You may want confirmation from someone more used to this thread though.
[Galaxy S II General] Rinoko72:

Intratech himself wrote just 1 or 2 pages back that all Fw's are non wipe, unless he states other wise ;)

best compatible rom for Optus

Hi there,

I am using the optus Australia network with galaxy s2, could you please tell me which one is the best rom for mobile network reception because I went to camp site area and other optus network phone was working and my phone was barely get the phone reception.

so, pls let me know for the compatible rom with optus, greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S II General] mbevc1:
Did you tried XWKL1 already? How does it look like from stability and performance point of view? Anybody else? (well, as far I can see there are no differences between KL1 and KL3-release date?)
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Try to download the 7z file again - clear browser cache before.

Then right click the downloaded 7z file and select "7zip - Extract here...".

Should work.

Good luck!

As I am still kinda new on Android, I couldn't conclude some stuff just by reading. Can I, in any way, brick my phone by flashing any of these versions? If so, which one should I choose, since I want 2.3.5. android at least (can't get any newer update via Kies or phone) ?

Currently:

ROM: 2.3.4. XWKI4

KERNEL: Siyah 2.6.1.

MODEM: XXKI1

The file opends properly.Just try donwloading the file again and open with latest Winzip or 7Z.

[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
No, you won't brick it if you follow the instructions properly.

Just update to 2.3.6 mate. Either KK2, KK5 or even better KL1 from frankenstein section should be fine for you.

Be aware that KIES will no longer recognize your device for updates after you install firmware from here.

[Galaxy S II General] timberwolf60:
Dxkl3 was a ROM aimed For South East Asia region. It have langueges for Thaland, Vietnan, Chinese, English UK, English Philippine and Malay etc.

CSC code was main for the telco operator around the SEA region: STH Singapore StarHub, SIN for Singtel in Singapore and as well for Malaysia, Vietnan Philippines etc.

It worked well for me in Singapore.

Thank intratech, good job!
[Galaxy S II General] ksantoshh:
Dial *#272*IMEI# . You will get an option to change the CSC, but I believe it wipes data, so take a backup before. Moreover there is a app in th market for changing CSC if u dont want to remember IMEI code.

Hope this helps !

Can I flash using CWM? Or triangle won't appear if I flash with Odin anyway?

Sent from my GT-I9100 using premium XDA App.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Stock firmware is only flashed via ODIN.

You will need to reflash custom kernel to get root back. Yeah, triangle will most likely return when you do it though.

[Galaxy S II General] ccmuha:
But I flashed official fw via CWM from this thread to get rid of that triangle after I flashed CF-root via Odin... Also flashed Siyah trough CWM recovery so I don't get the triangle... :P
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Ehm...... TAR files can't be flashed from CWM.

Anyways, doesn't matter now if you've already updated to the latest fw.

[Galaxy S II General] ccmuha:
Nah, wanted to say that I flashed official kernel but root stayed. Nevermind, I hope root will stay if I flash frankenstein KL1. Thanks anyway. :)
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
If you flash XWKL1 ROM, root will be gone.

Just flash CF-Root kernel for XWKL1 (Chainfire has uploaded the corresponding and working kernel) and use his description on how to remove the yellow triangle by flashing stock kernel and then zImage file of CF-Root kernel via CWM Manager app.

Alternatively you can use Mobile ODIN from Chainfire to flash the new "stock" ROM and keep root by using EverRoot option.

EDIT:

zergRush expoit does not work for rooting this ROM.

Good luck !

---------- Post added at 08:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 AM ----------

Languages are dependent on the PDA part of the ROM and CSC contains region specific apps and any carrier customization and APNs for that region.As the PDA is for south east region (DX --> Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam

), I doubt you will have french or swiss french language support.

Hope this helps!

DXKL3 is not for the Oceania region( Australia) but for Asia Region. The latest firrmware for Australia is XWKK2 (2.3.6). But you can flash DXKL3 if you want. I believe the XSAKK1 CSC is for Australia as a whole ,Australia (Optus) is OPSKK1 CSC .

you mentioned that CSC dont have anything to do with the language support ..

possible ?
[Galaxy S II General] pikachu01:
You have to reflash the ROM to get more languages than what you've already had.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Well I would probably want to know what firmware is currently on her phone before answering since I don't want to assume anything. That being said, if you're European then any firmware starting with XW in the PDA will be fine. The XWKK5 is the lastest official firmware for Europe and it works quite well.

Language support is "hardcoded" into the firmware. You'll need a new ROM if you want added language support and then means flashing.

Bro, You got it all wrong ! CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.PDA is the one that refers to the build version of the firmware. On your phone check Setting --> About your phone --> Android Version and your will get the android version on your phone. Check the 2.3.6 version for your region from Intratech first thread and download accordingly to flash.

Please make effort to atleast read the first post carefully before flashing.
