Your installed ROM is too new for Kies to recognise; when the Kies server supplies KG7 or higher it will recognise it again, and offer an upgrade, if available.
[Galaxy S II General] otester:
I have the first KG1 (2.3.4 - test version), can I upgrade to KG7 (2.3.4) or does it require full install (wipes apps etc.)?
[Galaxy S II General] bariz143:
So if i get this right so can i flash any firmware or how does it work?

Cuz i remember that i had KF3 or something first time and now i have KDJ?
[Galaxy S II General] richyy74:
Would somebody be so kind to post the browser.apk+odex from kg5?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] tygoger:
In theory you can flash any firmware that is ment for the Galaxy S 2. I have XXKG5 installed. It is one of the three newest. And official!
[Galaxy S II General] bariz143:
Then there comes the problem for me. i get bootloops on everyone of them by some reason?! :( im on stock again right now and cant hold on longer :P

Someone with same issues?
[Galaxy S II General] tygoger:
Try a factory reset, by going in to Recovery Mode:

(Volume Up + Home Button + Power Button)

Then do factory reset (wipe).

That "must" do the trick! Good luck!!
[Galaxy S II General] pae777sano:
So I installed KG5 coming from KG1 non-wipe.

Do you think that because I didn't do a wipe, my battery performance is terrible?

KG1 was great on battery for me.
[Galaxy S II General] mach0boi:
Sometimes, wiping may help ;)
[Galaxy S II General] IrishLad:
Wireless!!!!

Hi All,

Can anyone confirm if any of the latest ROMS improve or fix the weak wireless issue on the GS2.

I am getting tired of the constant weak signal in various locations that I've tested it on compared to my old HTC Desire and iPhone4 that never had any issues.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] otester:
Installed KG7.

Only have 2 icons (Phone & Applications) at the bottom instead of 4.

Is this normal?
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
You can add more by going to app drawer and pressing menu then edit.
[Galaxy S II General] otester:

Hello intratech.

The last rom FOP version package i've found is XWKF3 and the last FOP csc is I9100FOPKD2.

It's possible to flash this FOP CSC to a XXKG3 pda/phone version? Or maybe it's possible with odin just to flash KG3 modem and pda only to a KF3 rom without the csc and keep KD2 csc?

Where can I get the last FOP csc package only?

Thanks in advance and excuse my bad english.
[Galaxy S II General] Nitrile:
anyone got a ODIN flashable KG5 modem?
[Galaxy S II General] huskysdg:
try this(packages for pda phone and csc are individuals):

[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Spanish FOPKD2 CSC now available. Look under the Frankenstein section for the CSC packages.
[Galaxy S II General] Nitrile:
downloaded it and it came with 1 huge encrypted tar file. no dice.

anyone else got a ODIN flashable KG5 modem?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Er, you flash the tarball with Odin.

edit: O I c wat u mean.

Here freshly packaged just for you: http://www.multiupload.com/M5L611OLLQ

[Galaxy S II General] punshkin:
hello intratech, thank you for this massive collection. maybe you can help me?

i do currently have

baseband XXKE7

Kernel XWKF3

Build XWKF3

on my phone (bought from Saturn in germany)

and i want to update to KG6

does it matter that i do have XWK.... and the builds are XXK...?

if i flash the XXKG6 it will be no wipe but since it is Frankenstein:

will i have to flash another CSC to have german language and settings?

or do i have to do this

to enable german and therefore have a factory reset?

thank you for answering my questions but i`d rather be safe than sorry
[Galaxy S II General] jdmcivic:
anyone could kindly upload xxkg7 modem?
[Galaxy S II General] huskysdg:
thanks a lot... i'm just downloading ;)

then... can i flash kg3 pda and phone with kd2 csc without problems? or should I first flash all xxkg3 and after reflash csc fop kd2 only?
[Galaxy S II General] Nitrile:
it was already posted by intratech
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yes, flash the CSC after flashing the full package.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
You are aware that XXKG6 is just a test firmware and that XXKG5 is official and much smoother right?
[Galaxy S II General] punshkin:
i did know that KG6 is test but i didn`t know KG5 was smoother. i decided to go for KG6 because KG5 doesn`t yet have CF-root but i think root can wait a day then. thanks for telling me this.

and what about my other questions? can you help me answer those?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Well the XX firmware is officially "not for your device" but will will work normally with it and it does have German language included.
[Galaxy S II General] punshkin:
great. but since i am now going for KG5 i took the XXKG5 not the JPKG5 one is that right? and does your answer still apply for the XXKG5?(it is a non-frankenstein)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yes XXKG5 and yes it does apply.
[Galaxy S II General] kitch9:
Anyway to get back to kg5 from kg6 without wiping?
[Galaxy S II General] mariotme:
i highly doubt it :(
[Galaxy S II General] mach0boi:
Yes. By restoring your CWM backup or by flashing a non-wipe version of KG6 firmware, if any ;)
[Galaxy S II General] miketwn:
@Intratech must say the ZSKG2 CSC file you made is so useful. I used odin and flashed it on LeoMar75 v2.4 XXKG6 odexed rom and everything working fine. GREAT JOB I must say. BTW, i went to /system/csc and saw some remnants of some CSC files still there (ie. XEU, CPW, etc). I can delete those right?
[Galaxy S II General] :
Hi guys,

Sorry for the noob question. I just received my phone a few days ago. I am in the US however and running it on the ATT network.

This is all new to me (coming from a Droid X on VZW). I have been able to identify that my phone currently has.

XWKE7

Firmware info

PDA:XWKE7

PHONE: XXKE4

Build date: 18/05/2011

So now which firmware do I need to install? Just the last one at the bottom? Will this wipe the phone or anything? I've not rooted it as of yet but wanted to get the latest firmware as I've heard it helps things a lot.

Would appreciate any help/advice.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] gberrios123:
for intratech

Thanks buddy. I find the stock rom in your post. I used the claro Chile version for claro Puerto Rico but is almost the same. Thanks again.
[Galaxy S II General] gberrios123:
I flash kg2, kg3, kg5 and kg6. Im coming from UHKE2 and after I tried all of those I flash back my original stock rom. The kg 2.3.4 have a lot of lag in the twlauncher and browser. For me is like all the 2.3.4 juat are test version. The battery is incredible drain with kg rom. I know that ke2 is 2.3.3 but if you try it you will notice how fast and stable is. I flashed a lot of stock and custom roms and ke2 is the most superior. Sorry for my English but I need to write my experience. Everybody can flash it and post another opinion.

Thanks

I do not yet have the Bell firmware and as such I do not have the kernel for it.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Root the device and then using file expert (free app) or Root explorer (paid app) copy the /efs folder. Why do this though when Chainfire has an app on the market that unlocks the device and it's free?
[Galaxy S II General] hd21337:

[Galaxy S II General] huskysdg:
Hello again Intratech.

What's the last official and stable version for XX?? XXKG2, Kg3 or KG5? I've had some issues in KG3 and KG6 and i would like to flash with latest oficial XX...

BTW do you know when official XX and XW packages with 2.3.4 are going to be received by kies all around europe? Samsung talked about a big update for european countries for this august...

Thanks again for your incredible job. Tomorrow I hope my new bank account would be checked as "correct" by paypal and I'm going to donate :D
[Galaxy S II General] tygoger:

[Galaxy S II General] mguel:
You don't "need" to install any firmware... you can happily keep on Kies updates with no worries and no wipes.

Help things a lot? what things?... don't think so really. Little differences, except for video support for Talk.

Advise if still want to flash a firmware?

I would suggest KG3 since it has video support on Talk (on later KG ones it's missing again). And follow the instructions (first post by Intratech and Chainfire on root thread if you want root), and read related posts and threads to know what to expect, user experiences and eventual problems.

CSC unchanged after KG5 stock ROM flash

I am puzzled here...

My SGSii was purchased from Expansys Canada in June, and I received a model from Poland (OXA), KE2 if I recall. First update was using Kies to KE4. Then I used Odin to flash stock KE7 (XEU), then KG3 (Frankenstein) then KG6. Up to now no surprises.

Wishing to go back to stock, I figured I would flash the stock OXA KG5 ROM, use then English language I knew was there from my initial startup, and wait to see if I would go back again with a XEU ROM when it is released.

Well, after boot loops following the KG5 flash :confused: (I had even factory reset BEFORE flashing), factory resets using *2767 , recovery mode flushing I now have this:

*#1234# shows CSC I9100OXAKG5

*#272... shows XEU selected

When recovering from factory reset, I see multi-CSC installed and XEU selected

Finally, Kies shows CSC XEU and says that this version cannot be updated.

So what gives ? Is there any way to *really* clean a phone with a full flash?

I would rather see OXA or XEU everywhere... To me it seems to indicate an incomplete operation at some level, or the stock ROM posted is a multi-CSC?

Anyone can shed any light on this?

thanks
[Galaxy S II General] huskysdg:
man OXA is multi languague, not poland (but includes poland) and usually shows KOR at recovery mode (Korea) just because of the fatherland of manufacturer

i bought from expansys spain and it came with xef (standart non-branded french csc). Once i returned to XEF stock and also once to stock FOP (Spain standart non- branded) and i've used kies to update (yes, kies regonzide you if you flash a full stock package of any area)

to find your package (and I guarentee you that after kies is running again in updates) it's easy... just search and download CheckFusDownloader_v1.2 in XDA forums, choose your model i9100 and set your country (canada) or the original stock rom your phone had and flash with odin following the tutorial at first post of this thread... you will be back in stock and full kies operative including updates

it's easy to get back to stock if you download with CFD v1.2 in case that you haven't done a backup before first flashing with CWM or another rom manager...

after flashing any rom, to get the correct CSC you just only need to enter in your phone recovery mode (press vol up+home+power) and do a wipe (you're going to loose everything) but csc will be the one that you have flash before entering to recovery mode.

you have another option: to flash latest oficial rom KG5 and to flash the csc you need after...

for canada codes are:

RGS = CANADA

BMC = CANADA

TLS = CANADA

if you need extra info about samsung codes check please

http://samfirmware.com/samsunglettercode.htm
[Galaxy S II General] msjfb:
Thanks for your comments. BTW the Canada ROMS are not out yet, we are still waiting.

I picked up OXA= Poland from the OP description of the ROM. I am puzzled that I still see XEU when I query with the *#272* IMEI code (Kies also shows CSC XEU), but *#1234# shows OXA...
[Galaxy S II General] huskysdg:
Hey mate try to do a wipe as i've told you from recovery mode and post if your problem is gone :-)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It includes the XEU csc as well.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
The CSC package is OXA, it's a multiCSC package which included XEU. It will use the XEU CSC if that's the CSC version that you've changed you phone to.
[Galaxy S II General] inkyadrian:

[Galaxy S II General] msjfb:
Thanks for clearing that up Intratech. I am not too concerned about Kies since I intend to continue using Odin. Because of the boot loop after going from KG6 to KG5 I was concerned that somehow something was out of balance. Looks like all is in order.

Your contributions are greatly appreciated.

[Galaxy S II General] nordle:
Hi there, wondering if I can appeal to your knowledge here.

I recently flashed a stock i9100 2.3.3 (Orange contract) using firmware and guides from here. And it was great, worked perfectly.

The new firmware (updated 2.3.3 in the shape of XWFK3) really improved the battery life when using GPS, great :)

Went from the standard BVKE2 to XWKF3 XEU GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWKF3_I9100XXKE7_I9100XEUKD1

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

But a few days later I saw firmware for 2.3.4 and got greedy. Flashed again, same method, but using the Frankenstein XXKG6 from the same thread (ie this one).

EDIT: (edit is adding the file name here) Frankenstein_GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XXKG6_I9100XEUKD1_I9100XXKG6

Again, worked well. But the terrible battery drain under GPS was back again. So after a few days, I tried flashing back to the WKF3 and 2.3.3.

Upon soft reset after flashing, the phone was stuck at the spinning S Samsung Logo. Tried taking out battery, but same problem. Tried flashing back to BVKE Orange Stock firmware. Same issue.

Noticed the system reported this error upon first re-boot after flash:

"can't access to system/csc/ora/system"

In the end I flashed back to the 2.3.4 XXKG6 and it works again. Was a little concerned for a while to say the least :)

I have NOT rooted the phone or re-partitioned or messed around with PIT or factory resets / cache clearences. And have flashed using the guide from this thread and Odin 1.85

I'd really like to go back to 2.3.3 and XWFK3 because of the much better battery life.

Is it possible to deduce from the above why it didn't work? And moreover what I can do to get back to 2.3.3 and XWFK3?

Many thanks for any advice/thoughts.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Flash the XWKF3 firmware and afterwards go into the recovery menu and do a factory reset.
[Galaxy S II General] nordle:
Many thanks Intratech. I was trying to avoid this due to not wanting to re-install apps as one of them is CoPilot and I vaguely remember someone saying they waited weeks for them to resend a new code to let them install it again.

But, if that's what I should have done to enable the flash back to XWFK3 then it has to be done.

I'll have another go tomorrow night and follow this method. Thanks again for the reply!

----------------------------

hi guys.

I got a noobish question that i cant seem to find the answer to.

I believe the above FW is the latest (official as i dont want a hacked version) to be used for Europe and more specifically Sweden (please correct me if i'm wrong as i assume my language is included there). I checked at:

http://samfirmware.com/samsunglettercode.htm

and can see that the XX include SV which is swedish:

XX = de,en,es,fr,hu,it,nl,pt(cs,da,el,fi,no,pl,sl,sv,tr)

Question1:

Now the part i'm not sure about is how the Kernel comes into the picture?

If i look at the guide it shows that i need to choose the PDA which is the big file (OXA i believe). Then how does one flash the kernel(do i even need to do so?) ?

My brother has borrowed my phone for test since he liked it after i demo it to him so right now i dont remember if i could see my kernel version even or does the OXA also include the kernel? if not how does one upgrade the kernel ?

Question2:

Which modem is the latest which i can use for Sweden? and in which package can i find it? (dont want to brick the phone by upgrading th wrong modem)

Can i flash only the modem or do i need to combine it with this XXKG5?

thanks for your help.

ps.i'm just reading on the upgrade topic and learning before i finally dare to do this so please have patience with me here :)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
The firmware file contains the Kernel, you don't need to flash it separately unless you're rooting the device. Firmware also has the Modem.

You'll need to do a factory reset from recovery before the device will boot.

To get into recovery mode follow this tutorial http://www.biggtech.com/samsung/how-to-put-samsung-galaxy-s2-in-recovery-mode_6784.html

When the phone is in recovery mode just select factory reset.

CONFUSED??

Hi Guys,

Can someone please steer me in the right direction with modding the SGSII?

I have modded plenty the Desire HD, Dell Streak, LG Optimus 2X, etc.. all were very straight forward just root and rom basically with CMW recovery etc..

But what's throwing me with the SGSII is all the different radio numbers, build numbers, firmware numbers, etc?

Here are my stock details:

Baseband: I9100TDVKF2

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100TDVKF4-CL301812 root@DELL 104 #2

Build: GINGERBREAD.DVKF4

I then loaded up a Kernel and now have root and my details are as such:

Baseband: I9100TDVKF2

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE7-CL215725 root@DELL 103 #2

Build: GINGERBREAD.DVKF4

This was the kernel that was recommended to me to load.

Since loading the Kernel my phone gets really quite warm after only a little bit of use, and yesterday the battery drained out in 2 - 3 hours using 3G minimally in this time. Neither of these used to happen before.

So, do I have the right Kernel? If not which one?

And which ROMS should I be looking at? They all seem to be derived from hardware or build numbers? Hence what do I like for when looking for ROMS?

I used to use either FEAR or MoDaCo when I had my Optimus 2X, it was essentially an improved stock ROM, is Revolution the most stock like ROM for SGSII?

I know that's a big post, but thanks in advance to anyone that can help, thanks.
