I just flashed the XEKW2 ARB (Bahrain) kernel and its asking for a password after the phone rebooted and the password I found on the main page (which wasnt next to that particular kernel) - intratech@XDA doesnt work.

Any ideas ? Please HELP ! My phone is kinda useless now ..... :(

EDIT: Turns out its simply the password i had entered when i setup my exchange account ! Didnt realise it would use that password all the way at this level !!

Coming from an N1, i never saw anything like this ......!! Kinda impressed :)

They said that on the 7th of June too....
[Galaxy S II General] poults:
so if i flash this XEU XWKF3, will i lose all data and root?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
If you flash any firmware you will lose root. Why do people think they will retain root when they update their firmware? It just doesn't make sense, I've never updated any device and had it remain rooted.

Your data and apps will remain intact if you do the update properly.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Er, yes.... depending on your region.:)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Get the XEU version of XWKF3 mate. Also be aware that the kernel is not the firmware, it's a part of the OS. Firmware files are in excess of 250 MB.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Cheers. :)

XWKF3 was released earlier today, it's newer than XWKE7.
[Galaxy S II General] mayhs:
Brillient guide, but in my haste and excitement, i totally forgot to change my CSC, so now my phone is rooted and i've got rid of all the vodafone branding, but my CSC still says VOD. Ive tried using titanium backup but wasn't sure if it would work and didn't want to risk loosing all my data and setting.

Is it important to change my CSC or can i leave it as vodafone and still be able to update as normal? Can i upgrade to KF3 XEU?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It's not a biggie. If you don't like it do a hard reset and then flash the KF3 version you want.

Again, all the firmware files are self contained and do not depend on any pre-existing firmwares so you can flash anyone you like.
[Galaxy S II General] MCOGW:
What do you mean? The OXXKF1 inside is a MultiCSC...:confused:

[Galaxy S II General] serch826:
Well, after the apply of the fix, so i see that issue with the GPS still not fixed, so i'm now back om KE7 firmware, maybe will be some fix soon.
[Galaxy S II General] mixailo:
Why didn't my CSC change when I flashed XEU KE7? I wanted to update to the latest one through KIES, and it says that the firmware is not upgradeable. Furthermore, the CSC is COA. Is there something I should do before I flash XEU KF3 in order to get CSC to XEU? The phone reported something about not being able to write multi CSC.

I'm sorry to bother you, but it seems Serbia is still stuck with KE2, wanted to switch to XEU.

EDIT: I updated to XEU KF3 through Odin and got the same error. CSC is still COA and Kies has that -cannot be updated- notification.
[Galaxy S II General] IrishLad:
KF3 Installed :-)

Hi,

I assume the firmware contains the kernel anyway, so is there a reason for hosting just the kernel seperately or I am overlooking something?

I actually got offered the latest firmware through KEIS (KF3) after my last post so running that now.

Thanks Again!

For anyone running it or looking to, so far the battery seems to last longer as in I have 94% after taken off charge 2 hours agaoni, usually I have85% or so (but this could just be the conditioning starting to work), the WLAN now seems to hold a signal but still gets only 1bar (-78dB) where before I had nothing in the same location, but built in Exchange support is still very flaky (Can't contact server). All the above is my view from running the firmware for the past day but could be subjective based on willing things to work ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Someone has flashed the I9100T with normal firmware and it worked fine but I cannot advise you on this since I haven't done it myself.

I have no issue with GPS, I just used it to get to a Garage in Redhill to strip out my CD changer and some other stuff out of my car since it's been written off by the insurers.

Hard reset after flashing the firmware and then flash it again with the firmware and this usually change the CSC to XEU.

Yes all firmware must have the kernel or the OS wouldn't work and the flash would be useless. The kernels are for removing the yellow triangle when rooting the device.
[Galaxy S II General] mayhs:
Thanks for your swift reply regarding my CSC. I can't seem to upgrade through kies the normal way, is this because i haven't changed my CSC to XEU? and if so, i know i need to do a reset like you said, but this wipes all my data i believe? can you recommend a way to backup my stuff (sms, game saves, settings etc)? thanks in advanced

[Galaxy S II General] Krizp0:
Need some assistance here:

I've downloaded the new KG1 zip which contains pda, phone, csc and pit file. Should I use all of them in their appropriate places in Odin and re-partition, or don't I need the PIT-file?

Never used pit-files before but I'm unsure now that it is 2.3.4...

But I cannot change the "ARB" test.

Not after Intratech puts out a Frankenstein™ version that matches our XEUKD1 CSC. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] total360:
Sad to say that I already have done the whole XEUKD1 CSC trick, and it wiped the phone....
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It will, it's a low package which will wipe the device.

No need to use PIT file or repartition. Again as stated in the OP, you only need this if you mess up your partition table on the device. I have yet to use a pit file or repartition from the Galaxy S to now.

That's it, no need to use pit file.

This firmware will wipe the device. It's not meant to be released to the public and is for testing purposes at present. This is not how the final release will be packaged. I will not be releasing a Frankenstein package either I'm afraid but people can use the PDA and Modem from the leaked package and marry it to the CSC packages from the Frankenstein™ section if they so desire.

I won't be putting up any testing or unapproved firmware in this thread.

[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Gimme about 1 hour please and it will be available. :)
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
Agreed, no interest in putting test firmware on my phone either. I'll wait for the official release, KF2 is running great anyway. :)
[Galaxy S II General] total360:
It's a very stable build. Faster. No screen lag, signal and call quality higher than the KF3 released recently. GPS fixed too.
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
On KF2 Frankenstein, I have no battery drain issues (after freezing unwanted crap in Titanium and applying FastDormancy fix), 0 lag, better signal than my SGS ever had, conduct multiple conference calls nightly with no call quality issues, and use Google Navigation daily with near instant locks (even indoors usually). So again, KF2 Frankenstein is working perfectly here, I'll wait for the official version.
[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:
Same here KF2 no drain, Google Nav is locking straight away. and best still WiFi is great, no problems that some are talking about (hate to mention iphone ) but the wifi on SG2 now is better than my wifes iphone fact...
[Galaxy S II General] Hrti:
Totally agree. I always go to this thread for my firmwares because I know they are official releases. If I'd like to try out a test build I know where to find them, and adding a CSC from a Frankenstein package is no problem ;)

Regarding the KF2 VS KF3 I guess I'll go back to KF2. It just feels a little faster, especially the animations. At least we know Sammy is working on the KG1 ROM, so hopefully the official release is sooner rather than later.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I use SMS backup and restore for sms backups, it's free from the market. Google does a good job of backing up and restoring my settings and apps for the device and I use Titanium Backup to backup user apps and application data.

CSC will not add Arabic support to a firmware that doesn't have it to begin with.

SFR SGS II procedures ?

Hi,

I have SGS II from SFR France

PDA::KE4

PHONE: KE1

CSC: KE4 (SFR)

I don't really understand what all this means. what can I burn (using odin) on my device ?

I need Hebrew support (Right to left language) and I wan't to get a faster ROM than the stock.

SFR has some interesting apps on the stock ROM like:

SFR public Wifi - it detects if there a SFR FREE public wifi in the area and connects to it automatically the identification is automatic !

account managing tools

and so on.

so I would like to Root my device, Unlock it burn a faster FIRMWARE and better modem.

I would appreciate a simple explanation if possible

thanks

[Galaxy S II General] bigmo7:
I wouldn't recommend flashing KG1 yet, it's not as well polished as the other FW's. I got away relatively bug free but even with mine I lost the apps on my SD card. Just wait until a proper version is released then go nuts!
[Galaxy S II General] Fihlvein:
What I would like to know that did people who has issues with KG1, full wipe + formatted system partition prior flashing? I mean, it's a complete Android version upgrade, not just some small patch.

I did a proper clean install and so far I've had only performance increase (ADW EX transparent 4D launcher is finally smooth!) and zero new issues.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It's not yet available to download from the server.

The .pit is the same but why would you need it?
[Galaxy S II General] andromeda1968:
for a friend..He wants turn back to KE7ITV but many system apps are in FC...so I think that need a flash with KE7 with PIT and ripartition for a deep deep clean.....it's correct ?
[Galaxy S II General] andromeda1968:
PIT and KG1....flash Odin

for a new flash for KG1 firmware is useless flash PIT with Odin....just only CSC PDA and Modem...correct?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
No need to use .pit and repartition, you're just adding to things that can go wrong. I have yet to use a .pit file and repartition my device since owning a Galaxy S and now a Galaxy S II.

Just flash the firmware back to ITV XWKE7 and then do a hard reset by inputting *2767*3855# in the dialpad.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
You don't need the .pit file and you certainly don't need to repartition unless you were messing with the device partition table.

Quick question since I'm not sure and I couldn't find anything in the thread.

A couple days ago I was on (SFR, France):

Then I did the OTA update and now I'm on:

PDA: I9100XWKF3

PHONE: I9100XXKE7

CSC: I9100XEFKF1

If I want to restore my firmware for warranty, should I use the XWKF3 with MultiCSC or XEU and change the CSC to XEF (not sure if the CSC is checked)? Or won't that be possible?

Or will Intratech be able to pull an XEF version out of his hat and upload it? :)

[Galaxy S II General] masterludo:
Hey Intratech, sorry to bother but I wanted to ask if there would be any chance to get the XEF CSC for XWKF3? Thanks a bunch :)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Actually, if you do updates meant for the device like that one then the device is still covered under warranty. It's when you start to mess with different firmwares from different regions and custom ROMs that you void the warranty.

XEF is a generic French device and the latest firmware is the XWKE2 when I check the server. You should download that from the op and keep it as your backup for warranty.
