Just put the whole .tar file (do not unpack it!!) in PDA section of ODIN and flash it! 3 files are needed if you want to flash the PDA,Phone and CSC separately!But in this case they are all in the .tar file you need to flash! The stock Kernel is needed only if you ROOT the phone! Not needed when upgrading the firmware! All you need to do is flash the .tar file and you'll be fine!

Help!!!

I Want to flash the XWKF3 firmware from cognition 1.31 rom

After I Flashed..i saw that my phone Stucked at the 'S' logo and keep restarting

Anyone can help me? :( please
[Galaxy S II General] andresalonika:
I am getting ERROR in Odin.. It says that it cant read the file!!!
[Galaxy S II General] tygoger:
Flash a stock firmware (XWKF3 for example) with Odin. That must solve your problem!
[Galaxy S II General] Cro0707:
I've done root successively, but now when I try to install clockwork mod image or any other mod, it says "failed to verify whole file signature" and "signature verification failed"...

Something is wrong with file signature verification, how to fix this? TY.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
When it's available on the firmware server it will be in the carrier firmware thread.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Recovery -> wipe cache.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Are you trying to apply a .zip from stock recovery? You need to flash a kernel with CWM and use that to install the .zip package. Please read the instructions in the mod thread.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Unlike the SGS the SGS II doesn't have this problem. It's quite safe leaving the bootloaders in the package.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It won't get fixed with a new flash of any kind. This is a bug in a test firmware. If you set the browser plugin setting to on demand you won't get the FC'ing.
[Galaxy S II General] Cro0707:
What I've done:

1. Root with your Simplet Root Instruction section. OK

2. Download ClockWorkMod from market and flash recovery

3. Reboot into recovery from CWM. (actually now he start to flash CWM).

In step 3. I got sig verification error... Then I have tried to install custom ROM, same message.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Just flash a kernel like CF-ROOT or Hardcore's SpeedMOD to get CWM recovery. Don't use Rom Manager on the SGS II.
[Galaxy S II General] miketwn:
@Intratech great thread you have bro. Can I make a humble request? I want to flash XXKG3 but with my own country CSC. My official CSC is BRI (taiwan) which is in the ZSKG2 firmware. I dont know how to create one...
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Hmmm.. well you could try extracting you original CSC and flash that separately with ODIN after flashing KG3.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Ok, gimme a few minutes

Hello Intratech ,

A very simple question for you:

What ROM you could recommend at the moments as most stable and reliable . What is the firmware you are using at your phone?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Using the non-wipe XXKG3 at present with a few customisations.

edit: XXKG3 not XXKG2.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
OZSKG2 CSC: http://www.multiupload.com/RM66W7H05C

Also available in the first post. :)
[Galaxy S II General] miketwn:
thank you sir :)

Btw, is it kosher if i download this

XXKG3

Android 2.3.4

This package has: PDA:XXKG3| PHONE: XXKG3| CSC:XEUKD1

Download: http://www.multiupload.com/G3X5DJSUBK

and just replace the CSC with the one above? (this is non-wipe one your using too?)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yeah it's ok. Flash the firmware first and after it reboots flash the CSC in the CSC part of Odin.

Hello,

Bought a Virgin Samsung Galaxy S2 in Vancouver, bc, canada. I am on the telus network.

I have rooted it and applied the firmware XWKDD. I want to know what there is a Triagle at boot up and also why when i click the GPS, it says Carrier not found.

Is there a better firmware I can load. Also is it possible to go back to factory mode and buy an unlock code

Thanks

[Frankenstein] rom I9100XKG3 based on stock parts (pda XKG3 , phone XKG3, csc XKF1)

It is a stock I9100XXKG3 (Gingerbread 2.3.4) , with csc i9100XXKF1 (taken from stock I9100XWKF3 which is avaliable in Greece ).

So , sales is in EUR. Just dial *#272*ΙΜΕΙ#.

Then check EUR and install. Take a backup before, cause everything will be wiped.

It's a Frankenstein rom, especially for Greece region. As csc is multi-csc , rom can used by everyone in EUR.

Also included CF-root for rooting and the stock G3 kernel for disapearing yellow triangle in startup.

Download: https://rapidshare.com/files/2560457554/Frankenstein_I9100XXKG3__PDA_KG3_PHONE_KG3_CSC_KF1.rar

I repeat , rom is NOT a custom (cooked) rom.

Should do yeah since stock ROMs include all those 3 parts.

[Galaxy S II General] mbevc1:
What sales? But it is still stock XXKG3 fw? Well, still waiting for XW version for Slovenian swype an samsung keyboard support.

Why did you use KF1? You mentioned yellow triangle? if it is stock fw it should not appear?
[Galaxy S II General] gorko122:
Intratech I know I've asked already a few times but maybe you can check if now CSC/Firmware for 3AT (CSC "DRE") is available?

[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Carrier firmware thread mate, it's been available for a while. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Please don't try to flash these firmwares to Chinese devices, it will not work. Devices from Hong Kong and Taiwan are OK but the Chinese devices are a bit different. It may have something to do with Communism. :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] gpap2004:
The above rom is stock rom , so no triangle appears in boot. Only if you root it. In the download link i have a file and inside it is the CF-root file for everyone who wants to root the device.

I used the KF1 csc cause this csc comes with latest -through Kies- stock firmware in Greece , which is XWKF3.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
OXXKF1 CSC package is already available in the Frankenstein section so you can flash the non-wipe XXKG3 and flash any CSC package you need afterwards to customise it to your needs.

Official package w/o Swype

Hi Intratech,

Thanks a bunch for the packs you're producing (and hosting). My question would be if it is actually possible to have a signed "official" firmware where swype is not installed by default.

I know this is possible with other roms (e.g. Darky's), but the question is if it is possible without rooting the phone and without CM.

My biggest issue is that while I love the English interface, I need Slovak and Hungarian languages in Swype which is normally only available in XW-firmwares and there's no XW for 2.3.4.

If firmware would not contain swype by default, I could install it afterwards...

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] rikz112:
Hi i have last night updated to kg6 and i have rooted ...do i need to wait for insecure kernal intratec?? i used the old insecure kdd kernal and superoneclick then put stock kg6 kernal on and im back to a rooted sgs2 with 2.3.4 running xxkg6

i havent done wrong have i??

so far i have noticed i am seeing AOS running the lowest it has been at 6% bought the phone day it came out in UK april 27th and NEVER seen AOS running this low
[Galaxy S II General] gsw2:
Hi, I was just wondering if there was a Vodaphone Australia kf4 or kf2 CSC with all the junk removed? This CSC is a freakin huge 340mb~. LOL. The one I'm referring to is here http://www.multiupload.com/J4BQQM61FU (CSC_I9100TVAUKF4). It's this size because it's got tons of junk on it that pre-install with the CSC.

I'm asking for this because when I don't flash it I get bad reception, and the connection 'freeze' problem. After this is flashed my connection runs great!

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] SimpleNick:
not so realistic as you seems to look for an edited ROM that is "not edited".

root + titanium backup could get rid of the swype easily, why the trouble?
[Galaxy S II General] jenskristian:
I believe you can use whatever insecure kernel you want.
[Galaxy S II General] rikz112:
thanks.. quik questiion aswell when 2.3.4 comes out officially via KIES will i need to go go back to old frimware to update to the official version and how do i go back? is it just as simple to roll back to 2.3.3??? then attach to KIES to update or would i just wait for the official one to come on the forum and flash through ODIN???
[Galaxy S II General] S1MB4D:

Flashed the KG6 (2.3.4) and i found out the front page have abit lagging when swiping to another page. does anyone hav this problem ?
[Galaxy S II General] jenskristian:
To update with Kies you would probably have to roll back to the lastest official firmware for your region. The easier way however is just to update using Odin when the firmware is uploaded here (which probably will be just as fast, if not faster).
[Galaxy S II General] jenskristian:
I also just updated. My front page is as snappy as always.

[Galaxy S II General] notabenem:
It all depends on whether the factoryFS is signed or not. This I do not know, hence my question.

@Root: I admit there are some very compelling arguments to have it, however, I tried to avoid it so far because of the counter thingy.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
No such multiCSC package exist. Why would you need it?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Lets me see if I understand your request. You want an official firmware that's been edited? That kind of like the definition of an unofficial ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Why not just use the XSA CSC? That generic Aussie CSC without the carrier stuff.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I still use insecure KDD kernel to Root everything. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Not yet on the firmware server. I'll keep checking.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Firmware has ZN as the prefix.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
You can either restore you stock firmware to use KIES again or wait for the official firmware to be released to flash with Odin.:)

I installed KG6 (from KG3) and then the Speedmod kernal. I then wanted to do a clean install so I did a factory reset. Now it just keeps booting up over and over again. I tried installing KG6 and KG3 again but this did not help. What can I do?

Never mind. Re-did a factory reset and then reinstalled. This fixed the problem.

If you're concerned about the APN settings for the carriers in these regions all you need is the XEU CSC mate.

That's an issue with Factory reset that's not working on Speedmod's kernel. No fix yet but to do it using another kernel, then reverting back to Speedmod.

QUESTION

Does the stock kernel come built in the PDA? or do we have to flash it seperately...

Also if we have to flash it seperately do we put it under PDA in ODin?

and last of all is it better if we flash the kernels which come with the package?

I aint rooted just like the latest firmwares.. thats all
[Galaxy S II General] KyL416:
The full firmware package includes the kernel. The separate kernel download is if you want to flash back your stock kernel after rooting the device.
[Galaxy S II General] stefan.pilsu:
no video calls on KG6...
[Galaxy S II General] flogger:
By no video calls I interpret no video calls on Talk right?

Well, so I don't understand this!!

If the big flag of the 2.3.4 was this video feature on Talk, what does this KG6 has better then KG3 if it doesn't even has the 2.3.4 as it was supposed to?

I know it's a test build but anyway what are they testing here exactly on kg6?

[Galaxy S II General] mach0boi:
But KG5 is an official release. Wouldnt that matter?
[Galaxy S II General] ravian29:
i think there is not much difference in leaked and official version as both have same build date and features like both do not have gtalk video, yellowish screen is there in both.

these are initial feedbacks may be after getting a lot more feedbacks, i should go for kg5 or 7 :)
[Galaxy S II General] gtda:
It would be nice if samsung had a change log, has any one noticed any changes in it so far, if nothing has changed for the better I'm staying with kg6

I thought the frankenstein versions were only if you couldnt get the latest official stock ROM?

Like I thought people are installing the K6 frankenstein because it's 2.3.4 when the official one was only 2.3.3

Sorry I guess I mis understood whats the benefit of frankenstein vs official?

Also @intratech any chance you could please include the android version numbers with the official roms on the first post 2.3.3 / 2.3.4 etc?
