Hello, I don't know if somebody could help me :).

I don't know what firmware version is the correct or the best for my SGSII.

My phone is from Mexico and Latin America firmwares are UH ones and I don't know if I can install a XW version wich is from Europe. I also see that XW firmwares are the first to be update. So I'd like to flash an XW firmware, but I have some questions:

- Can I install the last XWKK2 firmware (android 2.3.6) from Netherlands?

- Will I have Spanish language?

- Will my phone work normally with that firmware here in Mexico?

- Will I have problems with my operator's signal or problems whith my data connection or problems with my SMS, or something like that?

- What does PHONE means? it is below the PDA version and at the top of the post it say that it is the "baseband/modem version" but I don't know what it is :(.

- And for last, Do my PHONE or baseband/modem version have to match with the PHONE version of the new firmware?

I hope someone could help me because I am really confused. I'll really apreaciate your help :)

Maybe the wrong place to ask but i need help, ever since i got a boot loop while going from KJ2 to KJ3 and i did rectify everything by doing a factory reset. now i am on KK5 but still my social hub email app does not accept my company google apps emails. I am able to use K9 email properly but really liked the stock email app. can anybody suggest any new course of action. tried actions are below,

1) Factory reset done

2) Clearing cache and delvik cache done

3) re flashing original firmware and then moving to root done

Please note everything else works fine, no issues.

Hey. You can download any link. Just choose the latest official firmware, XWKK2, and flash it via odin then you are fine.

Hi,

In fact the trouble doesn't come from Titanium Backup.

I have installed the KL1 release with applications restored from the Market and all was fine.

Unfortunately after 3 "Kernel panic" with that release I have downgraded to the KK5 release.

I restored again from the Market and my applications list disappeared again.

So, if the trouble doesn't come from Titanium Backup, I suppose it comes from the KK5 release.

Regards
[Galaxy S II General] Pwnjabi:

I just got confused seeing so many links :/

i ll try n let u knw !
[Galaxy S II General] dan1431:
From my understanding after reading a bunch of posts here on XDA, it really does not matter where the Firmware comes from as long as it is for your type of device (e.g. GT-I9100 / GT-I9100G / etc.), you can always flash a firmware and then go back into ODIN and flash the CSC for your country (if you so choose).

Hi guys. I did factory reset to my phone to get back to the original firmware version, But after the factory rest, my phone didn't back to the older version. Can someone please help me how to do?
[Galaxy S II General] geronimo_2:
you will not get original FW when you hard reset your device. you will only reset it to default values. think of it like resetting CMOS on your desktop computer, you reset it when you remove the battery or bridge the jumper but it stays at the same version.

to get any other FW in your phone you need to flash it yourself. go thrue the forum, there is alot of great info.

cheers.
[Galaxy S II General] hirak99:
Assuming you didn't take backup of your older firmware, you will need to download your old firmware from here, and reflash it.

Question, in KIES is my phone not supported anymore B*LLSH*T! doing it in the right way kills my phone... Any idea how to fix this?

Or is it just better to let KIES lay at a side and install it like this every time?

Edit: NVM KIES is approving the update, needed to restart KIES.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
KIES is a messy piece of software. I'd just leave it all together if I was you.

---------- Post added at 03:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 PM ----------

Thanks 4 ur help. I just don't know why my phone can't update through KIES after I flashed my phone to 2.3.5 official firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Maybe because it's not actually your regional firmware.....

[Galaxy S II General] :
Hi, I assume the reason is that the product code of the Device is linked with the official firmware. For example the Product Code of my device is GT-I9100LKAATO what identifies it as Austrian unbranded device. If I use any Firmware that is not registered for this device I get the same message from KIES (Not supported)

The only way I found to find out the Product Code is via Check Fus (available in market as free Lite version as well). It tells you the Product Code of your device as well as the official latest FW for this device.
[Galaxy S II General] ronalzhe:
Thanks for your help. I know the reason now. I give up kies anyway. Thank you again.

[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Visit CF-Root thread here:

Find a matching kernel and flash it via ODIN as PDA and voila, you will be rooted.

Thats the issue i cant see a matching kernel here is my info:

[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
KK2 cf-root should work fine for you.

Communicated from a Galaxy far far away via an XDA premium neurotransmitter while DJ'ing on The Enterprise. :D
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Have a look at the first post.

There is a "Quick Root Guide" with two methods.

If method 2 (zergRush exploit) does not work for your ROM, just use method 1.

Or just use - as already suggested - CF-Root kernel to root.

P.S.:

If you found that ROM with Check Fus Downloader, why not downloading it with this tool, too?

As it could be a wipe version, backup everything you want to keep before flashing.

Good luck !

Do i didnt find that info with checkfus sorry i made a mistake i get from *#1234# but then if i want to go back my S2 to stock?

Hi guys. I have another question about update to 2.3.6, maybe the question is silly, but I am quite a newb here. the pda and phone version of my phone is I9100TDUKF4, is it ok if I update it to 2.3.6 which PDA and phone version are different with my phone?
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
i recently updated mine...as long as it is the same unit brand (i9100 GT) and unlocked...if you are using a carrier locked phone i guess you need to use the fw which has it...better back read from page one...i think locked phones demand their own firmwares...but if you have the unlocked and international version then there is no problem whatsoever...a lesson i just recently learned and enjoyed exploiting...

Just a newbie questio, wich one for swedish GS2?

I dont know my baseband etc cause my phone is boot looping, i wanna try to update to avoid not lose all, dont wanna to reflash it, but i cant see what i gut, my girlfriend has 2.3.4 I9100XXKI1 AND GINGERBREAD.XWKI4 my phone had 2.3.3 and was bought 3 months earlier on same store tele2.se.

If it wasnt for the reason that i dont wanna lose everything, save games, how i made it look etc you know, i could easily flash it, and if it fails do it again, but i dont wanna wipe anything on the phone, only thing is that i cant make full backup cause it cant mount /data, but i wanna atleast try.

Hi intratech,

I'm using a mac and the extraction tool, the unarchiver won't unpack your exe files. In particular the csc package XEUKH2.

I'd be grateful if you could upload a zip or rar for me to download.
[Galaxy S II General] Rinoko72:
All full wipe Rom's are clearly marked, so if it dose not say "full wipe" ot "this will wipe your phone" you kan use what ever you want.. :)

The one she has (XWKI4) is for nordic region, so that will work for you fine ;)

You'll find it in post #2 and it is a non wipe Fw...

Thanks for your help. I have a contract phone with vodafone. I think it's a locked phone. But i can't find any firmware which has a KF4 pda or phone version.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
That's the Australian Vodafone firmware right?

As far as I know, the only way you can get it is if you update via KIES. Or maybe Intratech could help you out.... :p

yes. I can't update to 2.3.5 or .6 through KIES. so you don't suggest me to update to 2.3.6 using the firmware from the bottom of 2nd post?
[Galaxy S II General] KennyLegend:
Odk is Telia in Denmark as far as i know.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Yes you can do that, KK2 is the one I suggest. Since you're not using KIES, you might as well flash it. :)

Try XWKK5 from here: http://www.multiupload.com/7FKGH0Y68X

You'll have to unpack this with 7zip to get the file you have to use. password: Intratech@XDA

That's the frakenstein version, and from the info you have written you'll need this CSC pack: http://www.multiupload.com/1U8T9E5UQO

It's for Arabic region, is that right??

Unpack this as well to get the file you need, password: Intratech@XDA

You kan flash both at the same time via Odin, KK5 file goes in "PDA" and the CSC pakage goes in "CSC".

Read though Intratech first post before you do anything, and follow HIS instructions and you should not have any trouble

The keyboards you want you kan get from the market, if your still missing some of them after flashing.

Good luck ;)

thanks...already done this for a week...batt life is excellent...but i hate the bloatware included (bbcplayer/music hub)...
[Galaxy S II General] :
Use darkyota from the market to uninstall system apps, the same gets storedin a folder named darky/uninstalled/system, you can use the same app to restore when you want to, much better than titanium. Remember to restart after uninstalling. You can also use pulser's guide in the theme section on what's safe to uninstall. That way you can have your own slim version of the rom.

I installed KK5 (from KI8) to solve the HID Bluetooth issue and it now works.

Initially I paired my keyboard and it was stuck at paired not connected (the dreaded message) however after turning bluetooth off and back on (keeping the keyboard turned on) and spamming some keys for some time it ended up working ^^

Now to find a zergrush type of rooting method
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
i have intra franken kk5.can i use darky ota for that or i first need to get rooted (which probably i should).
[Galaxy S II General] aceofclubs:
Root your device and freeze or delete each app you don't want.

I think there is another app from the market if you don't want to root but I don't remember the name. Going on memory here so I could be wrong.

first get rooted and then use darky ota:)

looking for a bot of help!

Hi All,

I have a Galaxy S2 and have had it for around six months, I bought it from Phones 4 u in the UK and am on the O2 Network, the phone is unbranded (it has no physical O2 branding).

I updated it using Odin around two months ago to an O2 firmware:

PDA:	I9100XWKJ1

PHONE: I9100XXKI4

CSC: I9100O2UKJ1

I selected this one as I am an O2 customer! however I was originally on an unbranded firmware, this new firmware carries O2 branding.

Here's my question, can I upgrade to XWKK5 using Odin or have I caused problems for myself using the O2 Firmware? if I do upgrade do I need to select a specific PDA, PHONE, CSC combination for it to work with O2 or do I just use the megaupload link in post 1 next to XWKK5?

Thanks for any advice you can give!
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
im no expert sir but from extensively reading the thread you can as long as it has the same hardware (on about if its gt i1900 i think)...ive read that some have done it with the frankenfw then flash a corresponding csc for their region/country...im from the philippines and im using kk5...havent tried flashing my csc as my phone automatically chooses it for me...i have bloatware though from the region (xeu is my csc from the fw, i have bbc iplayer, music hub)...overall it works perfectly and the batt life is better from my previous stock fw...btw no binary count...disclaimer though - flash at your own risk...but its worth it...and kies is a pathetic software
