Yes, please look at 3. post of this thread - underneath the Frankenstein version of XWKI8.

---------- Post added at 01:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 PM ----------

I think, it is described in 3. post -> Frankenstein section.

Dial the following code into your phone:

*#272*IMEI# (while IMEI is the IMEI of your phone)

If you have a multi CSC, there will be a list of available CSCs.

Just choose the one you want.

Be careful, because this will wipe your phone.

Backup can help.

If you do not have a multi CSC, there will be only one CSC in the box at the top and an empty list - please exit this selection and do nothing.

There is no 2.3.5 csc. Just get any csc for nordic region it will work.

The 2.3.5 xwki8 firmware in original firmwares post already has nordic csc.

After I aply KE7 I got a problem in contacts searching by typing name gone! Have anybody same problem? And how to solve it? Sidebar is working.

Can anyone confirm the keyboard languages after flashing ke7 (normal and swype)?

Thanks in advance!

2.superoneclick do that for u
[Galaxy S II General] dazmancumbria:
I’ve followed the guide and tried to flash Ke2 insecure on to the phone, the process goes normally, I used Odin and superoneclick , used the gingerbreak exploit .

Busybox installed in to system\xbin. Restart the phone.

Then I tried to flash KE7 back on to the phone, same as in the guide. No real problems with that. Phone reboots and guess what still on the same firm KE2.

Is there any thing else I can try ?
[Galaxy S II General] a5ian300zx:
Hi,

just quick question.

When you flash it to the latest firmware and then root it after this do i use the original kernal that came with the phone or the kernal for the latest firmware?

also i do i test if the device has been rooted or not?

I've installed Odin on a W7 VM on my Mac via Parallels.

I've put the phone into download mode, and after selecting the tar file, connected the phone to my Mac. The first time it asked me what to connect to, so I chose W7.

However I'm not getting any of the ID:Com to turn yellow. I've tried re-booting everything, with no success.

What I'm worried about now is what happens if I turn my phone off when in download mode?
[Galaxy S II General] Andrmgic:
It'll be fine. Go ahead and power it off. When you turn it back on it should boot normally.

It's mainly important that you don't turn it off while you're actually transmitting something to the device.
[Galaxy S II General] peadarog:
I had similar problems to you using VM Windows XP on Linux.

1) I found that one particular USB port on my laptop worked, but none of the others did! Don't ask me why.

2) Make sure you right click on the usb symbol at the bottom of your VM window and select your device there.

3) I have turned off my phone several times when it was in download mode, and so far, if I hold down the power button for a while, it always reboots correctly.

I hope this helps.

Hi, I'm new to flashing and hope that some advise can be given as i don't completely understand. (Sorry if its asked before)

I've just updated to KI3 (TGY) via KIES....... but reading the instructions for flashing, there has been an update to the bootloaders which I'll need to re-install the old one back in order to use the reset jig.

So my question is :

Do i use this bootloader file from the attached download link and flash it in the "bootloader" option in Odin? (I take this as a generic bootloader and can be used on any country's firmware release???)

or do I need to use the country specific version :

Thanks for the advise.

My phone is ill!

Hey Guys, Help much needed please.

My phone was running the most up to date stock XEU firmware. I wanted to roll back to previous official rom 2.3.3.

I downloaded the specific rom XWKF3. Extracted it, opened odin, selected file in PDA box, put phone in download mode and flashed.

Everything went fine, but my phone reboots and is now stuck in boot animation loop. :eek:

What have I done????!

Thanks for your help in advance. :D

(Phone is non rooted and never has been, bought from Phones4u unlocked and im positive its XEU, firmware before i tried to roll back was XEU 2.3.4 updated via kies)

---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 PM ----------

Oh and I can still get in to download mode on phone.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
You need to perform a factory reset as I might have mentioned before. You won't be able to roll back without wiping everything.

Your can do it by going into recovery, vol up / home / power then select factory reset.

[Galaxy S II General] Warren.D:

That's correct. :)

[Galaxy S II General] Warren.D:
I cant get into recovery, i can get into download mode by vol down / home / power.

vol up / home / power just turns the phone on.
[Galaxy S II General] ParthG:
You have to hold the combination until you get to the recovery mode. Don't let go until you see recovery no matter if it looks like it's booting normally.
[Galaxy S II General] Warren.D:
Ah, done it now. Thank you.

Suppose samsung have to try and make these things fool proof. lol
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
The reason is, that Intratech's ROMs (in Original and Frankenstein section) are very, very near to the stock ROMs from Samsung.

So, if Samsung builds a new ROM using the Talk app without video chat, Intratech's version will be missing the same feature.

If Samsung creates a ROM using Talk app with video chat, the corresponding version from Intratech will have this feature too.

So, don't blame Intratech for missing features in current ROMs.

Hi all,

My phone is from Romania. For the longest time, i was using 2.3.4 using the multi csc OXAKG1 firmware. A friend of mine with the same phone recently informed me that her's got upgraded to the Romanian 2.3.4 (pda: xwki4; phone: xxki1; csc: oxfke1). So i flashed this firmware into my phone and kies is now saying that "the device firmware is not upgradable".

I do note that kies is detecting the new firmware, but Kies is also reporting a country code "kor".

I know mine is romanian as the original 2.3.3 (oxfkd4) worked fine and kies was able to upgrade my firmware to a later version of 2.3.3.

I'll also note that when i recently tried to downgrade from OXAKG1 back to oxfkd4, kies would no longer update my firmware.

What's going on here? And how do i get kies to like me firmware again?

Thanks all.

Regards,

Andrew

[Galaxy S II General] wanjeyin:
I should also mention that my phone came unlocked.

When i do volume up/power/home, i get this message:

"Installing Multi-CSC

Can't access to '/system/CSC/KOR/system/'

Successfully applied multi CSC".

Again, my problem seems to be related to the KOR code. My phone is supposed to be Romanian. What's up with KOR showing up in Kies?

I'm back on 2.3.4 OXFKE1.

I'd like Kies to work again (should say something like "firmware is current") now that the updates are coming in more regularly.

On KI8 you got Talk? or Talk with video support? (the last firmware with video on GTalk was ~kg4 I believe... not sure, but it was quite long ago)

+1 , admin privilege should be given to intratech or other that could delete/hide/minimize/move repeated questions... one option would be make the thread for publishing new releases and discuss features & characteristics of them (speed, stability, etc), and another thread for questions. But I guess no one will read the questions thread since it'll be like the ugly part of this thread but condensed

when i try to extract the file it just pop up "Not enough storage is available to complete this operation."

Please help to check the problem.
[Galaxy S II General] caanda45:
The file that is being extracted to location is out of space. An example is that I extract to my downloads file and if it get s to full I have to delete some files or move them to allow more items to be downloaded or extracted here!!! Simple as that.

not the frankenstein one but the other one that infratech has been published?

is this true? no right
[Galaxy S II General] hardcore:
One interesting observation about XWKI8.

If you use Portable Hotspot, you cannot use certain special characters in the network SSID.

Previously I used to use something like "HardCORE's Galaxy S2" as the SSID, but this no longer works - it appears to not save the SSID name in this case.

If I use something like "HardCORE_SGS2" as SSID, then it works.

[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Have you tried right clicking on the file and going to "Extract To", instead of opening the file ?
[Galaxy S II General] :
do a full wipe from recovery (cwm or stock doesn't matter). there you have a full wipe rom.
[Galaxy S II General] hongchan2000:
it just a .EXE file, i cannot find "Extract To" in right click.

Yes it's true, but you have two options flash the firmware and then flash again just old bootloader (you have it in frankestain firmware post) or

delete the bootloader file from the firmware .tar file and flash it via odin.

Hi,

Apologies in advance, but I have searched and can't find the right answer. I would like to flash KI8 (non frankenstine). I've download the file from the link on the front page. The download is an EXE file, which expands into a tar file GT-I9100_NEE_I9100XWKI8_I9100OXXKI2_I9100XXKI4.

How do I flash this file? Do I do it through ODIN, will it do a full wipe (this is what I want). I've opened the tar to see if there were csc or modem files I am more familiar with but it looks different so I assume I am not supposed to expand it.

Any advice is appreciated.

[Galaxy S II General] sachinaik:
I'm just answering my own question so that other guys who are facing similar questions/doubts can benefit out of this post.

Below are the steps for guys from India:

1. Download Frankenstein KI8 package. Link is in the 3rd post. Extract tar file from the downloaded 7zip file.

2. Download India ODDKF3 CSC, link is in the 3rd post. Extract tar file from the downloaded 7zip file.

3. In ODIN simply select KI8 firmware tar file for PDA option

4. Also select ODDKF3 CSC tar file for CSC option.

4. Start flashing the ROM.

PS: I assume you have read Intratech's installation steps in Post1. That's why not including other details in the above steps.

Step 4 is what I was looking for in the first place. Could not find some solid information (on how to do it ? and is it safe to do it ?) in the first 3 posts. That's including these steps.

Also please note that I've cleared my Data/cache partitions from recovery before doing these steps. I did it because I installed CM7.1 and then had to come back to KI8.

I'll post another thread on my feedback on KI8....

Best of luck....
[Galaxy S II General] sachinaik:
Feedback on KI8 (2.3.5) compared to KF3 (2.3.3):

1. Video player trim option

2. Stock browser is improved, looks more smooth now.

3. Overall KI8 is more smoother than KF3.

4. Less battery power consumption compared to 2.3.3

I think I'm going to stick with KI8....

Thanks to intratech for providing it..

Would it be possible for you to post the new KI4 FOP (Spain) firmware: I9100XWKI4-I9100FOPKI1-I9100XXKI1, that just came out on Kies, but with old bootloader ?

At the moment I have firmware:

PDA: XWKF3

PHONE: XXKE7

CSC: XEUKD1

As I understood I can freely flash:

Is it so?

P.S. And one more thing. Is it better to wipe everything before flash or it doesn't matter?
[Galaxy S II General] xmoo:
Doesn't matter. And if you flash the Frankenstein version, it won't wipe your stuff.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Not really, they are pretty much identical from what I can gather.
[Galaxy S II General] xmoo:
My Android os on IE3 is getting 60/80%. Should I preform a reset?

On phones of my friends, the OS doesn't get higher than 24%.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
The important question to answer is how is your battery life not what percentage of battery time a certain process is using. If your battery life isn't that good then flash the XWKI8 firmware and do a factory reset from recovery. Do a backup of your apps and settings and sms and such things before doing a flash or reset.
[Galaxy S II General] xmoo:
Sometimes battery is good, and sometimes it's wack.

On my use I get around 16 to 20 hours avarage.
[Galaxy S II General] almorsol:
I did the factory reset. And indeed lost everything, except the SD data.
