Stupid question #891: Is running SuperOneClick mandatory? Is't root installed by Chainfires kernel and not by SuperOneClick? I thought that SOC only installs busybox and SU, am I wrong?
[Galaxy S II General] Foxdraed:
Nope! Chainfire's kernel only enables the phone to be rooted i.e. Super User to be installed if I am not mistaken. And Super User will only be installed by SuperOneClick

=)
[Galaxy S II General] Foxdraed:
My device is rooted with the XWKE7 firmware/kernel. I was wondering, what happens to my phone if I boot it in reccovery mode and select Factory Reset. Will i loose my root and go back to the XWKDD firmware?

Thanks for your help =)
[Galaxy S II General] kevinlow:
tried that matter with no luck .. yeah.. busybox 1.17.1 installed..tried to full factory reset also can't make the titanium backup to work

Hi

I ve just got an O2 branded GS2 and I m a bit lost regarding Debranding

I was wondering if I could use that firmware for debranding it using Odin even if CSC is not the same as the firmware one ?

PDA:XWKE7

PHONE: XXKE4

CSC:XEUKD1 (XEU)

Build date: 18/05/2011

After that I need to change phone CSC using *#272*<your IMEI># procedure, right ?

Thanks a lot !
[Galaxy S II General] reg-sux:
My info is:

PDA: I9100XWKE7

PHONE: I9100XXKE4

CSC: Unknown

what does this mean? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] gibsonus:
Mine was on 3uk. I just flashed the KE7 with odin and all 3 branding was gone. No boot logo etc...

I did nothing other than follow the instructions on the first post. Didn't need *#272 etc...

You are already xeu and the generic KE7 is too.

There is also an O2 debranding thread.

[Galaxy S II General] njord74:
Problem with KE7

I updated to KE7 using Odin,but now my phone lag badly when in menus etc...

I was wondering if its possible to go back to before i updated so i can instead use Kies???
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Flash older firmware or your saved original rom .

Or factory reset phone as first choice as KE7 is not the problem .

Is USB debugging turned on and TB updated to latest version? I have no problems with it on my device.
[Galaxy S II General] tacgls:
Have you actually searched any of the information contained in this thread and many other threads about debranding?

The short answer to your question is yes and you have almost answered your own question anyway. Search is your friend.

CSC Code Change

Hi Intratech !

Your thread and posts have been really informative.I just had Galaxy S2 for 20 days and have really learned a lot from these forums on XDA.

I need a small advice, I recently flashed CheckROM which is based on XWKK5 with multi CSC and running on the latest Siyah kernal.

Details are :

PDA : I9100XWKK5

PHONE::I9100XXKI4

CSC :I9100OXXKJ3

Kernal : Siyah 2.6

When I go to the CSC selector screen, My Current Sales Code shows as ODK and there is alist of various Codes I can select. I wanted to check which is the correct sales code my region Singapore ( Asia). I understand that if i change CSC code, phone gets wiped.So if take a nandroid backup and change CSC and use back up to restore, will it restore previous CSC ?

Sorry If I have posed in the wrong section, You seemed to be the best person to check on CSC.

Thanks in Advance !
[Galaxy S II General] hirak99:
I did not know about existence of such a thing as LBE Privacy Guard - excellent app! I am sure the other one would be good too, but installing it required CM7 mod which I didn't want to get into.

Based on LBE's readings, there seem to be two suspicious apps -

Speaktoit Assistant - The activity of this started pretty much the same time one of those long bars started. Also google search revealed this being suspected for battery drainage often. Since I installed this only as a toy gimmick, I really do not need this to keep running such a service at the background. Uninstalled, won't miss it.

Whatsapp - This polls the contact list every 30 minutes! Also seems to correlate with good amount of activity going on each time. May be it's trying to sync contacts, but it's been done too frequently! Uninstalled - I use google talk and viber anyway.

It's perhaps a little to early tell, but since removing these two, my phone seems to be doing better! Will check again tonight. Thanks for the great advice on LBE!
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
you are on a multi csc format...no need to change anything...
[Galaxy S II General] ksantoshh:

Thanks for the reply, I know that I neednt neccesarily change the CSC, I was checking which is the Sales Code for my region , just in case....:p:p:p

I want to know if I can flash any SGS2 ROM i like (e.g. GalnetMIUI, rooted stock ROM like, GT-I9100_XSA_I9100XWKK2_I9100XSAKK1_I9100XXKI4.7z etc) to my SGS2 irrespective of my current build version or kernel?

@hirak99 have you tried 'autosync account activator' (market).allows for changing sync intervals by app and network.

No cpu impact as it's just changing standard configuration.

You can detune many contact sync operations to daily.I did this for WhatsApp
[Galaxy S II General] shakra00:
Hi guys. Im new to this flashing. I want to upgrade from 2.3.3 (stock rom) to improve battery life. Which version of firmware can you recommend KK2 vs KK5? Are both compatible with my phone? here's the details.

PDA: I9100DXKI2

PHONE: I9100DXKI1

CSC: I9100OLCKH1
[Galaxy S II General] swiftden:
KK5 is better for me. HTH =)
[Galaxy S II General] shakra00:
Does it have any issues? Is it compatible with my phone? If the flashing fails, how can I bring it to the original state?

Also, if I chose the KK2 (Official firmware), which country should I choose, Australia or Netherlands? What are the difference?

What's the difference between frankenstein firmware vs official? Will the frankenstein void my warranty?
[Galaxy S II General] tygoger:
Flashing will always void your warranty!!
[Galaxy S II General] shakra00:
Really? I thought only rooting would. What will I do to remove the flash and return to normal?
[Galaxy S II General] tylerdurden83:
Intra, I have a question for you. A while ago, when I wasn't really ready to start messing around, I saw a post from you that mentioned something along these lines: you should NOT clear cache, dalvik etc BEFORE flashing a new rom, but after it, would you change your oil filter before applying new oil in your engine?

Can you elaborate on this? In this forum 99% of the users always suggest or report their experiences as having firstly deleted the cache, dalvik and all, and THEN flashed the newer rom... Do they all do it wrong? Or have I misunderstood your post?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Restoring the Nandroid backup is like restoring an image of a harddrive so it will restore everything to how it was when you did the backup including the CSC.

Yes you can. Sometimes you may need to do a factory reset after flashing if you end up with a bootloop as there may be come incompatibility with some system files. You do this from the recovery menu.

Depends you your device. The multiCSC packages include CSCs for various European countries and the XEU devices are found mostly in the UK. Both are unbranded hence why they are in this thread and not the carrier firmware thread. ;)

Both are compatible. Both are very similar, some people prefer one over the other so can't really know which to recommend.

Clearing the dalvik and cache are minor, I was referring more to a factory reset when I was posting. Still it would be best to do a factory reset after you've already flashed the firmware. The cache and dalvik cache can be cleared at anytime, if you're changing from a custom ROM like Cyanogen or MIUI then follow their instructions.
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
nope it wouldnt...its an official rom...no binary counter movements...have tried 4 packages from intra and i havent had a movement on my counter...just follow the instructions

---------- Post added at 12:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

kk5...works well in our country (seeing you in the phil thread im assuming)...tried kk2 but found it a little laggy (not much)...but kk5 made my phone much better (increased battery life, increased signal and performance plus no more AOS bug)...kudos Intra for packaging it with the xi3 modem...btw...can i flash the kl1 modem over mine? hearing great things about it...
[Galaxy S II General] SaneinOne:
Yes, running KK5 with KL1 modem myself.
[Galaxy S II General] cliff03:
Frankenstein have different CSC and modem packages.

And stock they are all the same.
[Galaxy S II General] hirak99:
@Himlesh, this app is very powerful, but just to correlate frequent polls what you mainly need to do is to look at the event logs. If you'd like, you can remove some of the system apps from "Trusted" app category, which can be done from the Applications menu.

I have seen this app just a few days ago, but could not find it anymore. The name put me on a goose chase... I'd thought it would be something on the line of "sync manager". Anyway, certainly looks like a power tool to me, thanks! :-)

[Galaxy S II General] shagidelic:
Thanks Intratech, just one more question.

Intratech, thanks for ur reply. Just one last thing - is there any kind of ROM that might be more suitable for my SGS2, and how can i identify it? Consider my current info:

[Galaxy S II General] andyneouk:
Hi Guys,

Appologies if this is in the wrong place. I Recently got a new S2 and loving it so far. I have a few queries regarding updating firmware and rooting.

My phone is from tmobile in the uk and currently has the following:

PDA:I9100BOKG2

Phone:I9100BOKG1

CSC:I9100TMUKF1.

from my understanding i dont have uk firmware by default do i?

I want to upgrade the firmware to the latest UK varient (preferably without the tmobile branding) and then root it.

From what i gather i will have to change the CSC and install new firmware. can anyone recommend the best process for doing this and also point me to the most suitable firmware/kernel/csc to load?

Thanks guys - this place is always great for advice. Used to have a rooted Desire HD so this method of rooting and firmware is new to me.

Hello guys, just updated my SHW-M250S to a i9100 rom.

Unfortunately Kies doesn't recognize the software. I flashed the XWKK2 by Intratech not the frankenstein one.

Current phone info,

PDA : I9100XWKK2

PHONE : M250S.EL06.1435.ST

CSC : I9100XSAKK1
[Galaxy S II General] cliff03:
wrong section of the forum this is only for SGS2
[Galaxy S II General] MikuSE610:
Wrong section?

The M250S is a SGS2, also I'm asking about the ROMS. You see I flashed a official rom to my ''SGS2''. But KIES doesn't recognize it. PS. It's not Frankenstein ROM.

Edit : Kies DOES recognize it, but says I can't update this kind of firmware. Does it have something to do with the MODEM?
[Galaxy S II General] pikachu01:
Once you flash a custom ROM that doesn't belong to your region/carrier/phone, Kies won't recognize it anymore to upgrade.

[Galaxy S II General] Rinoko72:
Yes you can but if the WX fw is not correct for your region, you will want the Frankenstein version, and the CSC package for your region..

I think XX is also Europe, so most like it will not be a problem, check which codes are for which region in the first posts, just to be sure.. ;)

I am new to flashing my sgs2 (used odin all the time with my sgs1).

I have a uk unlocked sgs2 and using it on AT&T's network with 2.3.4 official from kies (somehow i have not gotten any newer).

Can someone tell me which is the best and most stable (UK) firmware with a modem that works well with AT&T?

I will be staying away from the custom roms so i figure my best bet for finding a leaked/official stable release is on this thread.

Thanks in advance.
