I just rooted my orange branded S2 by flashing an insecure kernal.

All worked fine.

Just done a nandroid of my stock orange rom.

Now when i connect to pc with usb i get no connection.

I used to be able to use explorer to browse the phone.

Any ideas why i can't connect with usb now ?

Panicking too soon :)

Reboot of both pc and phone and all good again.

Hey getting a wrong password error for the KG3 kernel, tried it a few times and even showed password to check it had gone in correctly :)
[Galaxy S II General] rickytenzer:
Mine's not there either.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
No idea where it's going wrong but I just downloaded the same file and extracted it with password intratech@XDA.

Can't edit/install widgets

I upgraded to KG3 from KG2 which was rooted.

I notice that I am unable to add any new widget or edit the existing one. Rather I would say when I tab the screen i don't get any option.

What could be wrong ? Help appreciated.

Can I up XXKG3 for my galaxy I9100T ? Does it have any problem after i do that? Please help...Thanks very much.
[Galaxy S II General] wgery:
Anyone knows that the Frankeinstein's KG2 or KG3 will wipe or not (if I'm going to flash from factory untouched firmware?

[Galaxy S II General] mbevc1:
No, they will not wipe anything...at leas my data stayed intact. Going back to 2.3.3. is another story :)
[Galaxy S II General] gspears:
I went from stock KE2 to KG3 and did not wipe. It's working well to this point.

YMMV as always.

PCode GT-I9100LKAXSE

Hi intratech..first of all, thanks for this nice thread :)

I have problem finding my stock ROM, details are as below:

PDA	: I9100DXKG3

Phone	: I9100DXKG1

CSC	: i9100OLCKG3

Kernel	: 2.6.35.7-I9100DXKG3-CL375463

PCode	: GT-I9100LKAXSE (taken after installing CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG2-v4.1-CWM4 using odin)

Could you please let me know which stock rom from the list is the same? or is it not in the list yet?

thanks
[Galaxy S II General] obionenairobi:
I am not sure what I am doing wrong but I downloaded the Frankenstein package for the KG3 and double clicked the .exe file afterwards which unzipped into a 500MB .rar file

When I unrar I don't have the 3 different files but multiple files such as:

boot

cache

factoryfs

etc

what have I done wrong ??
[Galaxy S II General] hstruik:
Don't unrar, put the rar file in the PDA section.

I have done exactly the opposite (UK Galaxy S II running Voda AU firmware) and it's worked without any issues. As far as I know the only difference with the T is the SAR rating. I know mine is not a full-on "Yes, go for it" but it's my 2 cents :)

Intratech, my q won't be very helpful but is there any way to check if the Telstra firmware for the SGS II is available?
[Galaxy S II General] d_train:
Hi

I received my Telstra SGS2 yesterday and it is the following...

I would like to go to a 2.3.4 stock ROM, but would like my current version for warranty purposes. How can I back up my current ROM or is there a download somewhere for this one?

Also, can I go straight to a KG1/2/3 or do I need to do something to my current config first?

Sorry for the noob questions, I am used to flashing WM devices, this is my first Android phone :)

thanks

[Galaxy S II General] Brendo:
kg3 is missing messaging skins :(

my sgs2 (uk) is my first android phone (coming from the world of wm). mine updated fine from ke7 to kg3 - nothing inbetween. if you get a version with the same csc as you currently have, it doesn't wipe the phone, just updates it. it was my first firware change of an android device and was so easy!
[Galaxy S II General] andresalonika:
I've got a noob question probably: Will i be able to receive future official updates through Kies after i install KG3 from samfirmware? I am not planning to root the device, just install KG3 using Odin.

Thank you in advance!
[Galaxy S II General] Arthur Hucksake:
You will need the complete original rom or a complete downloaded updated rom from CPW .

CPW is carphone warehouse multiple networks csc .

jje[/QUOTE]

It's their generic CPW one, not a branded phone in anyway.

Is there no way to back up the firmware and kernel already on the phone to revert back?

Hey thanks for this mate, was trying to update with kies what a load of ****e yet again great phone really poo software.

UPDATE 2: Manual hex edit of I9100XWKE2_Kernel.TAR

Confirmed kernel zimage has ro.secure=1; ro.allow.mock.location=0;ro.debuggable=0

I tried patching it back in after editing, but I don't have the knowledge to incorporate the zimage back into the right place in kernel.tar except by hexedit and that didn't work even padding the file to fit.

Chainfire - I know you said you were waiting for a phone - but would you for this one? pretty please?

NP with Kies2 via USB on win7 64bit just like a dream just plug and wait 13mins and it's done.

you don't have to have any knowlages at all.Just plug.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
What does this have to do with flashing by Odin and rooting the device may I ask? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] mi3x:
Thanks Intratech

Ok, so for the moment I have root with the insecure kernel (! mark on boot).

My phone reads:

PDA: WKE1

PH: KDJ

CSC: OXFKD4 - Not XEU, it's OXF - might that be a problem?

So I could update it to KE2 without any problems right?

So just to make sure I got things right:

-Backup with TB.

-Flash the XWKE2 ROM with Odin in your 1st post and lose root.

-Flash the Insecure XWKDD_insecure Kernel

-Re-Root.

-Re-Flash the previously flashed XWKE2 Kernel back.

Did I get things ok? Sorry for this, but I'm just making sure, not such a tech savy and English is not my native language, I'm making sure I get things straight.

Thanks/:D
[Galaxy S II General] cTrox:
Woops, wrong thread!
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
That's right but be aware that it change your product code and may not contain your service provider's settings.
[Galaxy S II General] DiamondGeeza:
I updated through Kies today to the latst official firmware XWKE2 and tried to get it back in download mode to re-root, and it wont go, just keeps re-booting. Is there a trick to the three buttons, special order or times or is it now disabled as I have read about in the forums.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Press the volume down+Home key first and then press power whilst holding the others and then it should just go to a caution screen asking to press up to continue to download mode.
[Galaxy S II General] DiamondGeeza:
nope, cant get it to work. pressing home and down and then power for a second or so it just boots normally. It worked when I first got the phone and got it rooted, though it did take a few goes.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Keep holding them down until you see the warning screen then let go. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] DiamondGeeza:
Sweet that got it cheers.
[Galaxy S II General] mi3x:
Do you think it's a generic Orange problem with the latest fw, or is it only in the uk? I already have the KE1, it came with the phone, but I think my bat. life could be improved... I think I will flash the KE2, but I'm on Orange romania, could this be affected as well with the FC thingie?

But I could always revert right? If things go bad.

LE: Ok, did it, updated it to KE2! Fast, no problems, and NO fcs, so probably it's not the carrier??

Everything seems ok, at least for now. Will post if anything bad happens, hopefully not.

Thanks for the guide! Very useful, hate kies!

SuperOneClick freezing on rooting

Just flashed my Rom back to KE1 (I'm on Orange and experienced the KE2 errors) using Odin with no problems.

I then flashed the Kernel to the XWKDD version (checked that this is the kernel version on the phone) and run SuperOneClick as detailed in the first post.

I've tried several times but it seems to keep freezing at the "Running psneuter" stage. I've left it for a seriously long time but nothing changes.

I did note that there's no yellow warning triangle on reboot.

I've re-flashed the kernel and repeated but still no luck.

Any ideas anyone? Am I missing something?
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Yes that should be fine.
[Galaxy S II General] andresalonika:

[Galaxy S II General] jenskristian:

[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:

[Galaxy S II General] :
guys, please, I learned how to use Titanium backup to survive "wipe" updates, the only thing I can't come up with is how to backup the "all applications" pages and icons order. I have many (many!) apps installed, and it's a real pain having to re-order icons and pages everytime I wipe my device.

Every post I read here and there on XDA says more or less "just use titanium for backup", as I did, but nobody mentions the same situation: so, is it impossible as of now to backup this kind of data, or is it just me overlooking the right option in titanium? do I need another program or else to do what I ask?

Thank you for your patience, and forgive the noobish question :P
[Galaxy S II General] atb1o1:
My solution to this is use a different launcher like launcher pro, ADW or GO Launcher EX. These home screen alternatives come with a backup feature than remembers where your icons go. The only thing it doesn't do is add your widgets which you will have to re add.
[Galaxy S II General] azulgranas:
Hey,

I have a solution for you, still using Titanium Backup.

Firstly, Before up to new rom, do the all user apps + data backup.

Then, you can wipe data and everything to have a new absolutely clean rom.

Finally, after installing Titanium back to your phone.

Do restore missing apps + data and then restore all system data, which includes data of Touchwiz launcher ( order of your icon and folder ..)

Restart your phone and all will stay the same.

I did this method many times and didn;t see any problems.

Anybody an idea?
[Galaxy S II General] jenskristian:
I'm thinking of upgrading to the newest firmware available for my region (in the Frankenstein section). Right now I have the following installed.

PDA: I9100XWKF3

PHONE: I9100XXKE7

CSC: I9100OXXXXKF1

I have downloaded

and

Both have been unzipped and I now have two *.tar-files.

Frankenstein_GT-I9100_I9100XXKG3_I9100XEUKD1_I9100XXKG3.tar

CSC_I9100OXXKF1.tar

How do I load these in Odin? Is this correct, or should I overwrite the CSC-files currently in the Frankenstein package with the ones in the OXXKF1 CSC?

Will any data be wiped doing this? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
If you think that is big you should see the Australian one. It's because of the included applications.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Flash them separately. First flash the firmware and after rebooting flash the CSC. You have them in the correct sections.:)
[Galaxy S II General] jenskristian:
And no data will be wiped right? And I'm using the correct CSC? I'm aiming for Nordic.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yes it's no wipe if both are from this thread. That CSC package does include the NEE CSC so yes.
[Galaxy S II General] jenskristian:
Thanks Intratech. Everything went fine :) Finally Android 2.3.4 :)
[Galaxy S II General] radiobicho:

[Galaxy S II General] jokuvuan:
Stupid questions from a user that has used this root several times allready. ;-)

1.	I needed to re-root my phone with CF-Root since flashing to stock kernel brakes the CMW. If I now leave the CF-Root kernel in without stock kernel, are there any real problems? Do I suffer from a performance decreace?

2.	I don’t think I managed to do the SuperOneClick, my phone was not in the correct usb-setting. However the phone is rooted, is there really any point in the SuperOneClick part?

3.	If I now flash the stock kerner will it influence the custom battery mods and custom 3G/WiFi –icons at the top of the notifications bar? Surely not?

Thaks to anyone who has the patience to answer. 

If you're running Linux just extract the modem.bin and tar it. I don't think you can do it with windows application.

A couple of questions before I attempt to root my phone.

Firstly my phone was purchased unlocked and unbranded from Carphone Warehouse in the UK. It has firmware PDA: XWKE7 / Phone: XXKE4 / CSC: CPWKD1

I just want to root the phone and not update to a newer rom. In the first post under KE7 you list the following:

Is CWP a typo and should it read CPW, i.e. for the Carphone Warehouse? I'm confused which rom I should use. I'd prefer to stay with the CPW CSC if possible.

Also, I only use Linux as my desktop OS. Is there a way to flash using a Linux equivalent of Odin or do I need to run Odin in a VM? Is that even advisable?

Lastly, if I need to revert my phone back to stock for warranty, is that possible, i.e. is a copy of the original Carphone Warehouse KE7 rom available on XDA somewhere?

Many thanks.

or even go to the latest kernel at the bottom of the list?

[Galaxy S II General] Cladon:
Do not unpack the .tar file just flash it as it is! Those files are part of the ROM and can't be removed!
[Galaxy S II General] rudolf895:
i know that,

Its the boot loaders files which aren't required to be flashed every time , If you hardbrick your device its because you flashed a rom with those files in it,

So what i want to say is why not remove those files n then pack a tar?

This way it would be safe to flash, than flashing with boot.bin and sbl.bin.

[Galaxy S II General] painkilleryusuf:
From the Package that I downloaded it gave me a .exe file. When i extract that i got only 1 file which was .tar. When i extract that tar (all using 7zip) i get 8 other files that I don't know what to do with because they have random names and not PDA, Phone and CSC as i expect.

As the text before the link (in the quote) suggest I should have 3 files. Am I missing something here?

What is the stock Kernel and Individual CSC packages. Are they mandatory for KG3 upgrade too?
