Thank you.So i guess all i will miss is maybe nordic keyboard then.
[Galaxy S II General] vladleo:
Hey!

bsb1....you probably lose connection becouse a faulty SIM.....you should remove it when you reflash,format your phone...i know i changed my SIM quite frequently back in the days when I had the famous HD2;)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It has Estonian,Icelandic, Suomi, Leituviu, Norwegian, Svenska language support so I 98% certain if you flash the Frankenstein™ package with MultiCSC CSC package and your CSC as NEE you'll have Nordic keyboard
[Galaxy S II General] mdalacu:
I have just flash KF2 frankenstein and i have lost swype with romanian language, what can I do ? In kf1 ot was present.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] bsb1:
yup, i left the sim in when i flashed the new firmware... Lesson learn, will remove sim when doing an update in firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
If you need it you'll need to use a firmware that includes support for the language.
[Galaxy S II General] mdalacu:
That's sad.. I only need swype... Thank you for your answer.
[Galaxy S II General] skoneckaj:
Thanks again! - I am really grateful for your help.

If sometimes one flash is enough, sometimes not - seems like magic :-)

Anyway just for my reference - what is difference between ROMs with XEO and OXA codes?
[Galaxy S II General] bassmonkey:
hey. sorry for the noobish question;

am i understanding that i root using c.f kernel and then flash back the stock kernel but still have root?
[Galaxy S II General] walda:
yes but then you loose cwm. root stays.

[Galaxy S II General] buzmay:
That was not my case. I still have CWM and SUperUser :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] walda:
Not the App, the Recovery... you can not go to recovery via VolUp+Home+Power when you flash an original Samsung Kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] nightranger73:
Wrong you can go to recovery as well but it's the stock one (blue text, less options)

Have you guys noticed KF2 modem WIFI is a bit spotty? I mean, when it's connected, it's a much stronger signal and faster than KE7. However, it seems to time out very easily where it's still showing connected but there is no actual data connection (webpages time out, etc).

KE7 modem did not have this issue. Might be flashing back to KE7 modem, just wanted your thoughts on this.
[Galaxy S II General] buzmay:
***EDIT*** nightranger73 just answered this 2 post above :)
[Galaxy S II General] mdalacu:
I have solved this by installing an older version of swype 1.60 witch is working great. :)

When I will have a little time I will try to extract swype version from KF1 and install it. I will post it here.
[Galaxy S II General] dinoc:
My SGS2 has:

Baseband version I9100BUKE1

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100BUKE5-CL227058

Build nr GINGERBREAD.BUKE5

can I root this ?
[Galaxy S II General] mdalacu:
Can someone show me how to open/mount factoryfs.img in order to extract an apk?

file factoryfs.img is returning data, no ext2 no yaffs ?!
[Galaxy S II General] njord74:
Thanks.

Its just that i have never tried Frankenstein.

So;

I flash Phone_I9100XXKF2,PDA_I9100XXKF2 and MultiCSC_I9100OXXKE2(instead ofCSC_I9100XEUKD1)at the same time?

Where will it be a option to choose NEE?

And then root with superoneclick and so flash stock kernel?
[Galaxy S II General] painterceessie:
KF5 is out.

:d:d:d:d:d:d:d:d:d:d
[Galaxy S II General] AMoosa:
So where is it and is it 2.3.4?
[Galaxy S II General] vladleo:
KF5

where??? samfirmware?
[Galaxy S II General] crypticc:
there's a thread about that. u can't mount direct. use unyaffs directly from phone or from a unix distro
[Galaxy S II General] Mixy:
Samfirmware said we wont see 2.3.4 until july at least.

Also KFX is not 2.3.4 as far as i know.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yes and Yes.
[Galaxy S II General] painterceessie:
I am just kidding guys.

We all are so focust on fw upgrates.

I thought it's time for a joke.

:D
[Galaxy S II General] vladleo:
KF5,KFX

Intratech do you know anything about this roms...becouse painterceessie is giving us the silent treatment....:(
[Galaxy S II General] markmcg:
Not rooted. Only have phone a few days. unlucky me.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Dude,

Just noticed a little problem with the root method,

When you drop back to chainfires "root" kernel, and then root, and restore the stock ke2 kernel, GPS will not lock at all inside when on wifi(didnt test outside) was getting like just 1 sat on and off. I restored to ke2 without applying the root kernel and gps locks on to around 7-9 sat's in the same position on wifi... I think dropping back to the old kernel to root corrupts something in the ROM..

JD
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
??? There isn't anything like that when flashing the kernel :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] :
This has now been confirmed on two devices;(
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Just tested mine rooted using the same method and locked in about 3 seconds to 7 satellites. :)
[Galaxy S II General] jonrwg:
First time encounter this. It just hang there. LOL. Never mind, I close ODIN and restarted the process again. Seems fine now. :D
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Are you flashing the firmware or kernel. If it's the firmware it can take a little time, just watch the blue progress bar.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Very strange,

Will try the root again to see if it happens again, Might have been a corrupt flash,

But for it to have happened twice is a 1-100000 shot

JD
[Galaxy S II General] jonrwg:
Is the firmware. I know is long but just now it just wont move. So I restarted it again and it went smoothly. :)
[Galaxy S II General] lgkahn:
probably just the fact that flashing a new rom you need to go into angry gps.. go outside .. clear gps data.. do gps test once. then it should work normally even inside.. same thing i always had to do even on sgs .
[Galaxy S II General] jonrwg:
Is the firmware. I know is long but just now it just wont move. So I restarted it again and it went smoothly. :)

OK, Done rooting and updating new kernel. :D

Thanks for your work mate. :)
[Galaxy S II General] :
Reflashed and it works fine now, getting a lock on 7 sats too after about 5 seconds, that must have been a weird flash or something, just reflashing my mates now too;)

JD
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Good job. You had me confused for a bit, I had to go check the kernel archive to make sure it had the zimage in it and not some other file. :eek:

Happy days!
[Galaxy S II General] lgkahn:
csc is still in wrong place with the k2 upgrde.. when are they going to fix this
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I know, it's a PITA to be frank.
[Galaxy S II General] davey.tran:
If i haven't updated to KE1 can i skip and go straight to KE2? Will there be any difference or problems?
[Galaxy S II General] Northern-Loop:
Doubt I'll change now (KE1) until we see OC/Rooted ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yes you can, these firmwares are self contained and don't require anything from any other package.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Root is available. :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] Northern-Loop:
Aye pre-rooted, getting bored of the standard rom, insecure, root, standard kernel update.

[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:

[Galaxy S II General] painterceessie:
Yes I noticed that too.

But why don't you stay on KF2.

Battery is so good.

KF3 turkish much better?
[Galaxy S II General] vladleo:

I don't know how kf3 is...becouse KCell branding on the last KF3 absolutely killed it for me...i spent exactly 30 sec with it...and then back to KF2:D.....wich is still the best by the way;)

[Galaxy S II General] njord74:

Dude, it's actually written in the first post:
[Galaxy S II General] jvidia:
Intratech, in you OP you have this written in the Ofin 1.85 section:

Any reason ? I have Odin 1.83 from SamFirmware. Is 1.85 better?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I have only use Odin 1.85 with the SGS II so I cannot really answer that question. I would say that there must have been a reason to update it though.
[Galaxy S II General] vUksi:
With VillainRom 1.4 there is a problem with nordic keyboards, they don't show up. In 1.2 multicsc worked but not with 1.4.

Flashing works as it boots into recovery and says "NEE selected" or something like that but still no NEE. (*#272*imei# won't do a thing, already says NEE).

Apparently we have to wait for a newer NEE csc from samsung?
[Galaxy S II General] njord74:
sorry,didnt see that.

But i cant type letters in dial pad,or i dont know how..

I tried copy and paste to dialer,but got message about it was a invalid MMI code.
[Galaxy S II General] PHiL_G4:
i did it with re-part & .pit; everythink s fine; really?

Hi Intratech!

thanks a lot for this thread!

I am a new SGS2 user, so i flashed a KF2 Frankenstein Firmware

WITH .pit and re-partition as i am used to the i9000.

STop :D

i have read a lot in this thread and found that its only needed

to screw up partition table or if the firmware specifically requires it..

BUT, do i have any disadvantages by this?

Everything is fine at the moment, i think.

Is it good in a way to flash the KDF vom Samfirmware.com

with re-partition and with .pit file..

and after this a newer one without pit und without re-part?

Thanks mate!
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Why are you typing letters in the dialpad? All IMEI are numeric values and don't require you to type in any letters.:confused::confused::confused:

There are no disadvantages just that it increases the possibility of people screwing stuff up by repartitioning when it's not needed. Also it's best not to mess with the partition table when it doesn't need messing with.

The build date may be newer, but my question was, is the KF2 essentially a newer build from the KE7?

In other words, I'm asking are they for the same region? XWKE7 vs XXKF2?

Hi to everyone!

I'm new in SGS2 :o(Coming from SGS1) as I have it from Saturday... I've ROOTED my phone the same day and I was waiting from VODAFONE to give me the Unlocking Code as you can understand is a branded one...

They delay from day to day till today they told me the Samsung delays my U/C and will take 4-10 days...:mad:

Please I have a question: CAN I flash the "VODAFONE BRANDED" phone with a ROM or I have to wait to unlock it first????:confused:

[Galaxy S II General] buzmay:
Guys which one is the one with best battery life for you? I am on KE2 and although the battery is acceptable I would like to get it better life.
[Galaxy S II General] CandyAndy:
I think that KE7 was the best I could get. But can't be sure because I also rooted and did all kind of things which I can't seem to be able to do again..But with that one I could go home from work with about 50% of battery left. Now with KF2 after 5 hours of work I am already down to 33%..so bad.

We are both from Scandinavia (Finland here) So maybe we need a Scandinavian ROM with right radio files? Not sure but just wondering about that. KE2 was the stock for you? I think I had KE2 in my phone when I got it. Not 100% anymore.

e. with this KF2 rom I haven't seen wifi sharing getting up even if I didn't freeze it. So something great. HOWEVER I see Voice command for the first time there with 9% usage and I have never used that. Android OS is also 38% and Android system7% so not so good.
[Galaxy S II General] buzmay:
Yes I think I have KE2 or KE1 when I got it but now I am on KE2, it is quite acceptable but if people here recommend other one would like to try. However the thing that you mention about special radios I have no idea. Could someone here with this knowledge let us know?

Can somebody tell me which one is the newest and most stable for my use in Switzerland :confused:

Have you posted in the thread for the ROM? Maybe there is something users of the ROM can give you advice on how to correct.
