Thanks for your info. Do you mean this one? : "Generic DBT (German): http://galaxy.androidgamer.org/Firmw...9100OXXKE2.zip"
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
File not found. Just use the link in the first post under XWKE2 section. There is an OXX version there.
[Galaxy S II General] Dextrosan:
It actually is the one from the first post, I just copied the line to be sure and I haven't noticed that the link is not full (there are some dots in the middle). The actual link is "http://galaxy.androidgamer.org/Firmware/GT-I9100_DBT_I9100XWKE2_I9100XXKDJ_I9100OXXKE2.zip"

Thanks in adavance
[Galaxy S II General] matanc1:
Can anyone tell me where I can get a "stock ROM" for my GS2 device? If I've got a XEU device do I need a specific "stock ROM"?

Is there a way to change the phone's CSC?

Thank you :)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Any XEU ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Do you know what the CSC was?

edit: Nevermind, the XWKE2 firmware with OXXKE2 CSC is what you need. It's under the XWKE2 downloads labeled as multiCSC

[Galaxy S II General] SimpleNick:
will XWKE7 based SGS2 work with the ZSKE7?

wanted the HK/Taiwan ROM for it's chinese language (i'm assuming it has system wide language pack and chinese Swype support).

am using Beta chinese swype on XWKE7, figure that it's a hassle needing to (re)download and reconfigure it every time there's new firmware update, and hoping that a chinese locale based ROM would have it loaded as stock feature..
[Galaxy S II General] stupidstone:
Pls help me ,

after i flash the HK rom, my s2 cant work, just only in the opening page again and again, and i go to the recovery mode<3e>, it says

" Can't access to '/system/csc/Xeu/system/'.

Successfully applied multi-CSC."

so wt an i do???

pls help me

Just loving the newer KE7 kernel posted earlier. Seems a lot quicker to me.. Just got 3876 on Quadrant using the newer Kernel, normally get 312*....
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It will work. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Wipe cache in recovery. After it reboots do a hard reset by punching this into the dialpad: *2767*3855#

Make sure you backup anything you have on the internal sdcard because it will get wiped.
[Galaxy S II General] Bakedbread:
does anyone actaully know if there are any changes (and performance gains) between the XU KE7 kernal and the Hong Kong ZSKE7 kernal?

Or is just the same KE7 but region specific?

I wish samsung released change logs :(

The newest XWLPD firmware is unbranded. There's no need for a frankenstein!
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Sorry lads, just got in from work and now working on the firmware upload. Didn't abandon the ship. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Quick question because I haven't been able to check. Does the DXLP9 still have the SOD issue where the phone just doesn't awaken from sleep and you have to turn it off and on again?
[Galaxy S II General] :
DXLP9 does not have the SOD issue my friend:)
[Galaxy S II General] mgmate:
Intra,

There are two versions, DXLP9 and the new XWLPD if I am not mistaking.

Regards,
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yes, will be uploading both and will be getting the Latin firmwares up later tonight.:)

The links will be live once the firmware has finished uploading to the server.... before someone starts to post that the links don't work. :)
[Galaxy S II General] mrcreativity:
Oh happy day...he's back. :)

Alive and kicking from the looks of it.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yeah, just been busy. After the funeral had some family staying over on holiday, was working and had to train with a training partner who was preparing for a title fight. Now that life is kind of back to normal I'm here again.

Just want to say thanks to all for their kind words of condolences and prayers, it helped. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:

Damn...my condolences. Close relative I'm assuming?

Good to see so many people understanding life's priorities.

Nothing is more annoying than people asking for etas.

Welcome back my friend.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Thanks intratech !

XWLPD is running very stable and very smooth on my phone so far.

I will post my benchmark and battery test results as soon as they are finished ... battery tests take some time ...
[Galaxy S II General] MeX_DK:
I downloaded the XWLPD NEE rom from Samsung, flashed it with Chainfire CF-Root and has been running it all day. So far I am a lot more impressed then i was with XWLP7. SO far I have been able to see a reduction in battery use, and the phone hasn't run hot on me so far.
[Galaxy S II General] guedes_puc:
Same for me. This is the best ics version I have tried so far.
[Galaxy S II General] d3l1:
How can I flash the XWLPD with the DBT CSC? Do I have to inject the CSC or can I just put it in the CSC field, firmware in the PDA and flash, or does using only two of the three fields brick something?
[Galaxy S II General] Hilmesh:
Just put the firmware in the PDA field and the CSC in the CSC field. That is how i have done for my India CSC and have not faced any problem.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Yes you can.

I have just flashed XWLPD ROM file in PDA and used the CSC part (cache.img and hidden.img) from another ROM file in CSC and flashed it to my phone.

Everything is fine !

Can confirm.

The battery life during the night (only sync, Skype, GTalk and wifi on) is the best for all stock ROMs/kernels I have tested so far.

Now testing battery life in mixed usage.
[Galaxy S II General] peter56:
Are you making one of your special versions of NEE with all the crap taken out or are you just uploading the normal versions?

Stupid question, but other than the first page of this thread, is there any where else I can find the frankenstein versions?

Thanks Peter

[Galaxy S II General] diamondX04HT:
Will this wipe my phone if I select separate csc file alongwith firmware in pda? Btw, I use mobile odin pro to flash bcoz of the everoot option.

Also, will it wipe my phone if I flash csc file only?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
No.

Only if you have flashed a MultiCSC and change the active CSC by dialing the code *#272*<IMEI>#, then your phone will be wiped.

But I recommend to make a backup before flashing ... just in case !
[Galaxy S II General] lavazzabg:
Can someone please upload OXALPS CSC ?

10x in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
If you flash it by using Mobile Odin app, you do not need a separate OXALPS CSC file.

Just use a ROM (such as XWLP8 Frankenstein ROM from post #4) containing the CSC files you want.

Start Mobile Odin app, click "Open file" and select the ROM you want to flash (such as XWLPD from post #3).

Then click "Cache" and select the ROM file containing the CSC files you want.

And click "Hidden" and select the ROM file containing the CSC files you want.

Then click "Flash firmware".

That's it !

I have just done it myself to flash XWLPD ROM with my "old" OXALPS CSC.

If you want, you can click "Kernel" and select another kernel (such as CF-Root), if you want to have a different kernel.

And click "Modem" and select another modem file, if you want to have a different modem.

Just select the firmware parts you want an flash everything at once to your phone.
[Galaxy S II General] jammer84:
Hi guys,

using XXLPS here on my S2 here at the moment and having a few issues:

After a call, the screen stays black and I cannot cancel the call immediately, so I've to wait for a few seconds for the screen to decide to activate so I can end the call

Battery life is terrible and then like today, phone reported 67% battery and then the phone froze trying to enable wireless so restarted the phone to find it now reporting 15% battery

Apps & Messaging crashing intermittently

I'm thinking of changing the firmware again but not sure on what to change to.

How can I determine what versions or newest, etc as the firmware versions for ICS are a bit harder to identify with numbers / letters, etc

Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Have a look at my latest kernel test results some posts above (or just click on the phone picture in my signature).

Let's be inspired and try XWLPD ROM (from post #3).

Combine it with the CSC you prefer and flash it to your phone.

It is the best (performance and battery life) balanced kernel for me ... on my phone.

Good luck and enjoy !
[Galaxy S II General] jammer84:
Thanks for the prompt response :-)

So if I download the stock XWLPD from Post 3: "XWLPD Stock Kernel: Download" and stick that in PDA in Odin

Then download the following package which I presume I require since using the phone on Vodafone Network in Ireland: "Vodafone Ireland VDILP6 CSC: Download" and stick that in CSC section of Odin

When the two are loaded, just hit start and then do the factory reset & job done :-)

Frankenstein is handy since you just need to load one into PDA, flash and then factory reset and job done :-)

The versions are really confusing in ICS - where can you find a release schedule of what versions were released and when?

Thanks again!
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Many questions:

1. You will have to download and flash the whole ROM - not only the stock kernel.

You will not need the stock kernel.

2. I am sure that you do not need the Vodafone Ireland CSC to use your phone.

But if you really want that Vodafone bloatware stuff, feel free to flash this CSC.

I would suggest to use a "free" XEU CSC ... but it's your choice.

Should only be an ICS CSC file for an ICS ROM.

3. Why do you want to make a factory reset?

Are you switching from GB to ICS?

If you are already on ICS, you do not need to do a factory reset.

But feel free to wipe everything you want ... it's your phone.

4. Versions and schedules/release times.

You will find something like this in SamMobile => http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9100&r=1#regiona

The dates are not very detailed ... only month and year.

If you want to know about the exact release or build date of your firmware, just dial *#1234# into your phone.
[Galaxy S II General] jammer84:
Thanks for the detailed response - very helpful :-)

I'll download the "NEE" firmware

Would you recommend giving this CSC a try as you're right, I don't want the Vodafone bloatware :-): "MultiCSC OXXLPD: Download

MultiCSC Packages contains the following CSC: AUT, COS, CYO, DBT, DCM, DNF, EUR, FWB, KOR, LUX, NEE, OMN, ORG, ORS, PAN, PLS, SEB, SUN, SWC, TMS, TPH, VDH, VIA, VOM, XEE, XEH, XEO, XEZ, XSK"

I taught the wipe was good to complete if issues, but great to know I don't need to do it :-)

Thanks again!
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
As the CSC is not so important, just check your current CSC (*#1234#) and maybe just use this CSC again.

Or use the UK XEULP5 CSC (from post #4).

You can still flash another CSC afterwards separately.

If you have some issues after flashing the new ROM, try to wipe cache partition (and Dalvik cache) from recovery mode.

Will solve most issues.

That's how I could avoid a factory reset on my phone ... since swiching from GB to ICS.
[Galaxy S II General] jammer84:
I've I9100OXALPS which was inbuilt into the last Frankenstein firmware I downloaded.XWLP8

Should I try and locate this CSC separately?

Will also try the cache steps if I run into any issues. Thanks again for all the help.

Real noob at this stuff when it comes to phones!
[Galaxy S II General] stefanjadex:
Hi,

I would like to upgrade my rom from GB to ICS and, after a lot of reading, I'm a little bit confused.

So, I would like to ask some questions.

Before that, my phone is on GB 2.3.6, LT 6.1, Vodafone Romania.

1. Should I flash a stock GB rom before the ICS?

2. What PDA, CSC, modem to choose for the most stable rom with the best battery life?

3. I've read that swipe keyboard give some crashes. Is that true? I really like to have it.

4. Can I find somewhere a compete guide for flashing the ICS starting from my old GB?

Regards,

Stefan
[Galaxy S II General] Rinoko72:
HI, when you say you are on LT 6.1, then I'm guessing your on Lite'ning Rom 6.1 which means you have Root and CWM?? So no need to go back to a "stock" Gb Fw.

At the momnent XWLPD is the latest ICS Samsung Rom, and it also looks like it the best so far.. If you want Stock, then Intratech has posted a version in this thread, which you just flash via Odin, the same way you did with Lite'ning ;)

To get "root" back after that you'll find the CF-root kernel for LPD in post #8 of Chainfire's thread.

If you don't want "stock", but just slightly "tweeked" then you can try this from Wanama; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1436817

or this one from Salesale: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1569686

Both of these to can you flash via CWM, follow there instruction in each thread and you should not have any trouble..

As for Swipe, I don't use it but I'm guessing that it working now on ICS, a bit of seaching and you'll quickly find that out ;)

Good luck.! :)
[Galaxy S II General] stefanjadex:
Thank you very much for the information.

Yes, LT means Lite'ning rom. And is rooted.

Maybe I didn't search enough, but is there a CSC for Vodafone Romania? I saw only for Orange Romania.

And last question. Could I flash this room with Mobile Odin?

Regards,

Stefan
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
So, it's basically the same constellation as it was in my case:

I just updated from XWLP8 Frankenstein ROM to XWLPD ROM (NEE version) with my old OXALPS CSC.

I have done the following:

1. Rooted my phone.

I flashed a rooted kernel, such as CF-Root for XWLP8 from Chainfire.

2. Installed Mobile Odin app.

There is a free lite version here in XDA ... also from Chainfire.

3. Downloaded XWLPD ROM (NEE version) and copied XWLPD and my old XWLP8 ROM files to my phone's sd card.

4. Started Mobile Odin app, "Open file" => selected XWLPD ROM file, "Cache" => selected XWLP8 ROM file, "Hidden" => selected XWLP8 ROM file and clicked "Flash firmware".

To be honest, I also changed the "Kernel" to CF-Root kernel for XWLPD, and then I flashed the whole stuff to my phone.

5. After automatic reboot, you will have XWLPD ROM with your "old" CSC.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II General] Rinoko72:
Yes, you can flash the "stock" FW via mobile Odin.. Not sure about the CSC package, don't you have a copy of the one you flashed over LT 6.1? you can use that one..

BTW, Litepro has a new LPD ICS Rom out, may you would like to try that, just flash via mobil Odin ;)

You'll find the link in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26259286&postcount=18521

Good luck, and welcome to the world of ICS :)
[Galaxy S II General] redzion:
For heavy users only solution is 2100mAh battery and latest firmware..
[Galaxy S II General] stefanjadex:
Thank you again.

Yes, I know about the LT 3.1, but I read that the battery life is not so good (a couple of users reported battery drain in 3.1).

That's why, trying to find a better battery friendly ICS rom, I arrived here.

There are so many rom's, kernels... I really don't know witch one to flash, because I don't want to loose time for finding the best one (but I'm mostly sure that this will happen anyway :) ).

Maybe you have a suggestion?

Regards,

Stefan
[Galaxy S II General] jammer84:
Cheers, I'll do these steps now.

I can't seem to find on the odin page what the cache and hidden sections are for? I've purchased the pro version to support chainfire!
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
For buying the Mobile Odin Pro and supporting Chainfire's great work: Well done !

For the Cache and Hidden section in Mobile Odin:

That are the sections for the corresponding files (Cache => cache.img file, Hidden => hidden.img file) ... and these files are the CSC part of the firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] Rinoko72:
I'm running Wanama v11.6, which is LPD Rom.. he has a "stock" Rom and a slightly themed one..

had good battery on this Rom with the stock Cf-root kernel (It_ler can confrim this ;)) but now I'm running Phenomenal 5,3 extreme which is giving even better battery on my device :)

Rom you'll find here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1436817

Kernel here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1601520

Read the OP about the Kernel, not all devices like the "extreme" version ;)
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Yes, I can confirm about the very good => excellent battery life on stock / CF-Root kernel for XWLPD.

And I am testing Phenomenal 5.3 Extreme right now as well to check, if this extremely undervolted kernel can have even better battery life.

Will post my results as soon as my tests are finished in Phenomenal kernel thread (and update the link in my signature).
[Galaxy S II General] stefanjadex:
Thanks, I'll take a look at the treads.

How long does your battery last with this rom?

Regards,

Stefan
[Galaxy S II General] Rinoko72:
That really depends on what I do.. ;)

I'm on the extended battery and can get though 2 days with 2 email accounts syncing every 15mins, wifi & data on, and with about 4 hrs screen time, I've still got maybe 20% left on the evening of the secound day..

[Galaxy S II General] scarmona:
Can anyone post (or direct me to) the I9100XWLPD PDA file? I'd like to flash over the latest chilean package (I9100UHLPK) to keep using the localized modem and csc

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] stefanjadex:
Good enough... but with extended battery. I'm using stock battery.

In the mean time I've read the Wanam thread and it seems that there are also some problems and bugs there too.

Maybe ICS is not enough stable right now.

So, I'm thinning to stick with my old GB for a while... Mainly because I'm using the phone for business first, so I don't want to have surprises.

Thank you again, it was nice to talk with you.

Regards,

Stefan
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
PDA file ?!

Do you mean kernel?

Oh ... no, you want to flash the XWLPD ROM with your "old" modem and CSC.

If that is correct, just do the following:

1. Download XWLPD ROM file (from post #3) and copy it to the sd card of your phone.

2. Download and copy your current ROM UHLPK to the sd card of your phone.

3. Install Mobile Odin app from Chainfire.

Pro version from Play store or Lite version from XDA.

Oopps ... Mobile Odin app requires a rooted phone.

So, you may have to flash a rooted kernel (such as CF-Root kernel) first.

4. Start Mobile Odin app, click on "Open file" and select the ROM file you want to flash => XWLPD.

Click on "Modem" and select the ROM file containing the modem you want to flash => UHLPK.

Click on "Cache" and select the ROM file containing the CSC you want to flash => UHLPK.

Click on "Hidden" and select the ROM file containing the CSC you want to flash => UHLPK.

(If you want to root your phone, click on "Kernel" and select the kernel you want to flash.)

Then click on "Flash firmware".

I recommend to make a backup before flashing ... just in case.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II General] Rinoko72:
I've run LPD for 2 days, have not had 1 fc, SOD or anything else..

Just wipe data and format "system" in "mounts & storage" before flashing..

I've read some people are having trouble, but then there are not wiping before installing...

I wipe no matter what, then you know you've done it right ;)

Unfortunately LPD still has issues setting up a static IP. Slightly different problem now - before (LP7/8) you could save (but the ip you set would change back), but now the save button is greyed out completely so you can't even save the settings at all.

Also, had one WiFi on/off freeze with this rom too, so that also has not been fixed.

Aside from these issues, great battery life!
[Galaxy S II General] DeHAWK:
Hi

Yep, you're right, I noticed the same problem. Don't understand why they don't do more to fix these static IP faults. Well, I myself normally only use DHCP, but there are people who needs to set up static IP...:rolleyes:

Static IP is network based. Depending on your network setup, it must be setup in your router or the DHCP server, not teh client (phone in this case)

In my case, phone is set to a static IP through my DHCP server and it never changed IP just like all my other many wifi devices

---------- Post added at 11:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------

Thanks for the report. Was about to update to LPD hoping for the wifi SOD issue fixed. Damn sammy, we could have to wait for 4.0.4, if they didn't add tons of bugs to it too...
[Galaxy S II General] Rulandas:
Just what i thought. How you guys ever managed to set up static ip on device lol :d. Its up to the router not the device itself. Router is the one that assigns ip. You need s advanced router in order manage that.
