thanks for the response, i am going to update to this.

one more ques, for xwki8, it says its from nordic regions(wherever that is)

i am just concerned if it has english us/uk on it. and where can i get the compatible polarisoffice.apk ( which is there in kf1). i put one in system/app folder in my current xwki4 but it does not open any files, FCs instead.

reply please
[Galaxy S II General] backudog:
1 more question, im assuming after doing the update you cant use kies to update at a later time? you'll always have to use odin? reason i ask is that i started kies after bunging the new firmware on just to check and it said "this version of the device cannot be updated" ? im not that bothered as i'll just use odin as n when new firmware is released but i just wanted to check.
[Galaxy S II General] Cladon:
Yes, XWKI8 has English US/UK!
[Galaxy S II General] ProNewb:
what about polaris office? anyway i can get that to ki8?

never mind i got from rom kitchen
[Galaxy S II General] tiggerrdrr:
You will have to go back to stock firmware that was originally with the phone, if the stock is older than current version wipe will definitely be needed, if newer upgrade and kies should then recognise the phone. I would wipe anyway just out of caution.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
If you still wanna use KIES, which I wouldn't since its not very good. You have to have your regional firmware installed for it to recognize and update.

I'm having some trouble with the 7zip self-extracting archives.

I can't seem to extract the tarball from the XW-KI8 .exe file for the life of me. It keeps saying " Not enough storage is available to complete this operation" even though I have 16gb of free space on the drive.

And yes I have 7zip installed. And yes ive tried downloading the entire 273mb file 3 times already . And yes ive tried using winRAR (that just gives an error. Funny thing is I can view the .rar file inside the unextracted archive using winRAR, but i can't extract it)

Any ideas? (using windows XP btw)
[Galaxy S II General] mcshame:
I had this happen to me yesterday on my Netbook with Win7 yesterday. I was doing a lot of activities at the time. After restarting the computer, it made it thru
[Galaxy S II General] adancau:
Do you have TEMP on a different partition? It usually does that when not enough space is available on the partition that holds the temporary files (might even be the C: drive where the system is installed). Or maybe the partition holding the swap file isn't large enough (with the swap file configured as dynamic)?

faster DL mode - odin - DL mode cycle

Hi,

I've been rooting my phone a minute ago and also juggled a bit with bootloaders to get my custom counter down to zero and I came across small feature that speeds things up a bit.

I seems that if you deselect Autoreboot in Odin and flash something you don't need to pull the battery out (GB 2.3.5) you simply press and hold the power button for a few seconds ( I think around 10) then the device goes off and you can enter the DL mode again with the jig to reset the counter and then again turn it off etc etc

What it does it simply shortens the time since you don't have to start the device proper and then turn it of ... and several times like this.

I don't know if this is a common knowledge I haven't see it in any guide but I think it doesn't hurt to remind that from time to time ;)

cheers

Hi, i have a small problem. Im flashing the nordic version of XWKE2 but when i type *2767*4387264636#, i always get GT-I9100LKADBT, the german version of some reason. I've tried the Nordic version from fus downloader and same problem. What am i doing wrong?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I assume you've previously flashed a multi-csc firmware. First flash the NEE firmware then boot to recovery and wipe cache and factory reset the phone then reflash the firmware again. Should now be back to NEE.

3G UK XWKE1 firmware added to downloads.
[Galaxy S II General] Falconary:
How do i wipe cache and factory reset in recovery mode? Or do you mean factory reset through the settings menu in the phone?

edit, just found the combination to clear cache and factory reset.

Since I flashed past KH3 I've been having a problem where the portable hotspot always defaults back to the same settings as soon as I leave the option.

So It's set to AndroidAP with a certain password (not mine). If I change it to whatever name with a different password and exit out.. when I go back in it's reset back to AndroidAP and that password again.

It's still doing it after upgrading to KJ2. Anyone else?

Custom rom flashing on Frankenstein Ki3

i have flashed KI4 Frankenstein package & using the same without problems (without rooting). I would like to know if i root my phone with insecure (ki3) kernel & root using the galaxys2root application / superoneclick, will i face any problems & is the process advisable. Also, i intend to install CWM instead of CF root. This is for flashing custom rom (probably cm7 or villainrom).

[Galaxy S II General] SaneinOne:
Thanks for the feedback, I now have a sudden strong urge to flash another ROM!
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Hmm ... the advisable rooting method ...

I recommend to

1. Read the first post of Chainfire's thread (=> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399&highlight=CF+Root).

And really read it carefully.

2. Download the corresponding CF-Root kernel (KI4).

But be aware of the two different KI4 ROMs => XWKI4 (2.3.4) and XXKI4 (2.3.5).

You have to use the same CF-Root kernel version as your ROM is running with.

3. Flash CF-Root kernel with Odin (PDA section).

4. If you want to get rid of the yellow triangle, follow Chainfire's decription:

- flash the stock kernel of your ROM (using Odin)

- re-flash the zImage file from CF-Root kernel (using CWM Manager app)

5. You have successfully rooted your phone.

CF-Rooting method is very easy and you have got the CWM Manager app for extra features like backup, recovery, flashing zip files, flashing other ROMs and kernels, etc.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II General] lrcquest:
Do u suggest the CF root method than the Clockworkmod one? I was hoping to use CWM. Are there any advantages for the former? Also, trust there will be no problems flashing custom roms (CM 7.1 or Villainrom)

Vodafone Australia and KI3

Hi Team,

I flashed KI3 a week or two ago, and right now I seem to be getting a whole lot of times that I have no reception with Vodafone Aus - I just get the little 'no-smoking' sign, and often have to reboot to get reception back - somtimes I have to reboot a few times to get reception back...

Is anyone else having this issue with KI3 on Vodafone - is this likely to be the ROM or Radio/Modem or just bloody Vodafone (me thinks Vodafone), but I don't know enough about ROMs and Radios/Modems to really be able to tell.

I'm also getting 3G or H and full bars, but no actual data - or at least super slow data (again, me thinks Vodafone, but should I flash something else?).

Is this a partition problem?

[Galaxy S II General] SimpleNick:
don't mind the bundled swype.

if you have rooted, use Titanium Backup to uninstall the bundled swype (if you are on custom rom, might wanna do a reboot and check back in Ti Backup if the rom revert swype to an older version, do another uninstallation if it does, else you might get FCs at boot).

logon to beta.swype.com (free registration required).

download and run the swype installer.

login per the registration, download your preferred version of BETA swype.

.. and you get swype in your preferred language.

Luxembourg XWKJ1 firmware and kernel now available.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It means that they all have a bootloader included in the package that will allow use of the usb JIG to reset the binary counter that increases each time you flash an unsigned kernel to the device. It's not a big thing unless you're overly sensitive to the counter.

You can flash any custom ROM you want using whichever method the ROM developer packages his ROM for flashing. Most use CWM and you can get this by simply flashing CR-Root kernel.

[Galaxy S II General] Life Engineer:
Thanks man!

Just to make sure:

The ROM that i mentioned is a stock one, right?! So it will not trigger any counter because it has a signed kernel, right?!

And if I flash some custom roms after it, for say up to 100 roms i will be fine?!

(in other words, what does this counter affect?! Does it have any limits?!)

Thanks again!
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
I am not quite sure what you mean by "CWM".

My understanding is ClockWorkMod = CWM.

This is an extended/customized recovery mode, included in CF-Root kernels and some other custom ROMs ... and in ROM Manager app from the Market.

Maybe you mixed it up with that?!

If you want the easiest way to flash custom ROMs and switch between them, you propably should use ROM Manager app from the Market.

But you have to root your phone first, and ROM Manager is not compatible with CF-Root.

So you have to root your phone using Intratech's method described in his first post (flashing an insecure kernel with Odin, rooting with SuperOneClick and re-flashing the stock kernel).

There are many ways to Rome ... it's your choice which one to choose.
