It won't wipe. The CSC package includes XEU so it's ok.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Thank you :)
[Galaxy S II General] turt:
Thanks, I'll give it a try then :)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Asian DXKG4 and DXKH2 firmware and kernel are now available. The DXKH2 can be found in the Frankenstein section. Both of these will wipe your device.
[Galaxy S II General] Urimagination:
Quick question, I did my first flash with the optus KG1. Now if i want to flash with stock KH3 which i want to get rid of the bloat ware. Would i then Root with chainfires CF-ROOT. Also can i just install the latest optus CSC without any dramas? An will i loose any data.

Im pretty sure it will all be fine, Just love some feedback before i do it
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yes you can root with CF-Root without any issue, not sure about the CSC change. I haven't personally done it this way so I'm not 100% sure it won't wipe your device.
[Galaxy S II General] Urimagination:
Any other way you would recommend?
[Galaxy S II General] ManMOuntain:
Thanks for replying but I've quadruple checked and my settings are correct. I've even tried deleting the APN's and restoring defaults but for MMS pictures I can't send them nor can I receive them. For everything else, everything is running very well. This has to be the best ROM I've applied since getting the SGS 2.
[Galaxy S II General] ReeX:
Improvements over KG5?
[Galaxy S II General] turt:
Ok so I tried and it didn't wipe my CSC indeed, thanks!

I know that KH3 definitely fixes the TouchWiz application launcher bugs I had with KG5. It was definitely a positive upgrade for me.
[Galaxy S II General] Jiia:
I'm selling my phone so I tried to flash the only Nordic firmware I found.

So I flashed I9100XWKE2_I9100XXKDJ_I9100OXXKE2 via odin like always but I only get a bootloop after it finishes. After flashing it reboots and installs something in recovery mode.

Right before it reboots again it says

Installing Multi-CSC

Can't access to /system/csc/ITV/system

Succesfully applied multi-CSC
[Galaxy S II General] DarkNiz:
What bugs?
[Galaxy S II General] ReeX:
Now downloading KH3!

Once flashed (coming from KG5), do you suggest to wipe the phone or could I keep all my settings without wiping? Stable in this case?
[Galaxy S II General] radiobicho:
When will come a new OFFICIAL firmware? KH3 is a TEST version...
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Well, if it was me doing it then I would backup all my apps and do a fresh install.

That will guarantee things to run smoothly with best battery life.

Hi Intratech, I'd been silent reader for a month in xda , 2 weeks ago I bought SGS2, next week i will try to root-flash my phone from stock to another rom.

The problem is, In my country(Indonesia), I still dont have Full STOCK Rom file anywhere :

PDA : I9100DXKG3

Phone : I9100DXKG1

CSC : I9100LCKG3

Build Info : Jul 12 ( i forgot this line my phone still charging now)

Do you remember , xda member named "husneyz" asking for help in this thread?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16839807&postcount=3447

Yes, he's same country as me(Indonesia)

We'd got the same source :

http://www.multiupload.com/M51NEXIPF7

If i remember, this set didnt include modem bin in the zip package,so the CSC didn't back to stock like husneyz said in his post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16844011&postcount=3450

Then i came across smbh9099 post 2-3 page before:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16875414&postcount=3464

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16874330&postcount=3463

He had build like this:

PDA : I9100DXKG4

Phone : I9100DXKG1

CSC : I9100LCKG3

The different is at PDA, he had I9100DXKG4 but the phone and CSC as the same as our build.

My request is:

Can you recompile the file so that it will have so it will be original indonesian stock rom???:

PDA : I9100DXKG3

Phone : I9100DXKG1

CSC : I9100LCKG3

Thanks a lot for your help, if you can recompile it, you may put it in your first page as stock indonesian SGS2 ROM and maybe you may give me permission so i can put it in my favourite discussion SGS2 forum:

Help please!!!!

I've just put the stock o2 XWKDD UK firmware back on my sgs2 using ODIN (using the tar file in the pda box), however, when its finished installing, the phone is just in a permanent reboot state (keeps going back to splash screen), even after switching the phone off manually and turning it back on.

Has anyone had this problem when re-installing stock firmware via ODIN?

Any help would be appreciated, i have no idea why its doing this.
[Galaxy S II General] pae777sano:
ManMOuntain - we still don't seem to have a solution as yet. I've checked other forums too.

I'm on Telstra, and had the settings actually sent to my phone from the Telstra website.

I've tried hard reset. Still nothing.

I just cannot send MMS!

Is KH3 an official firmware?
[Galaxy S II General] SaneinOne:
No, it's a leaked ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] ParthG:
Intratech, I think you should label which firmwares are unofficial/leaks (except for the Frankenstein ones) in the first post so those who want to stay on the official Kies release know which one to flash.

I actually thought KH3 was released in Poland. :p

EDIT: Never mind, I'm dumb. KH3 is in the Frankenstein section. :o
[Galaxy S II General] gspears:
I had a similar problem and it turned out to be that the system didn't like the number format. It had () around the area code and it somehow got screwed up by Google and ended up with two sets of parenthesis.

It's a long shot but you might check the format of the number it's trying to send the MMS to. SMS would go through just fine. It was really weird.

Good Luck

nice thread

but i have a question im having some lags when putting simple clock widget and modern clock widget that comes with the device and also having proplem with ap news widget

when ever it show a new news my phone lags when switching home screens .... i dont know why is that

i tried kh3 and kh1

and also having heat proplem when playing hd games

so my question is what is the fastest and most stable version of these firmwares ?

thanks alot in advance :)
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
NEVERMIND, I'm such a n00b. :)

Going to flash KH3 today, thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] Smousers:
Hi all,

This is me:

Android Version= 2.3.3

Phone/Baseband Version= I9100NEKF2

PDA/Kernel version= 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF4-CL280512

Build Number= GINGERBREAD.XWKF4

I have rooted and want to reflash to stock and then root via CWM. I have downloaded the XXKF2 kernel. This is the right one?

But it requires a password to extract the .tar.

any help please?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Dude, the password is all over 1st page. It's "intratech@XDA".
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
Hmmm, not a fan of KH3 modem... constantly switching between 3G/H+. Can't seem to hold H+/data stream like KF2.

Any of you seeing this, or is it a regional issue with my US carrier?
[Galaxy S II General] goldengraham:
I believe this is just an icon changing when you are actually using data. It's been noted before in other threads that some icons change to H or H+ when using data and revert to 3G when not. It should be affecting your connection.

GG

P.S. I'm on Rogers in Canada with a SGSII KH3 and it does the same.
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
Interesting, thanks for the feedback. I just made a generational leap from KF2, and it would either be in 3g (idle) or H+ (data stream active). But now with KH3, if it is a large data stream, it would jump out of H+ to 3g, jump back to H+, jump out again, etc. So you're saying this is normal for KH3?

Thanks again!
[Galaxy S II General] gspears:
I seem to see the 3G more but speeds seem to be up. I'll check it at work tomorrow to see if it still gets 7 down and 2.5 up.
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
Highest speed does you no good if there are intermittent breaks in the data stream. That's what I'm seeing on KH3 modem...
[Galaxy S II General] hkwildboy:
the measured speed should be the average data rate (as opposed to burst rate) over the measurement duration. Thus, "intermittent breaks" should have been taken into account already.

What is the latest firmware for csc NEE?

Haven't this one been updated to 2.3.4?
[Galaxy S II General] Hiroya Fujimiya:
Hi Intra, sorry can;t reply this for 1-2 days,busy with job.

Btw thanks for your fast reply, This will be a great help for us.

But.........i realize something now, our indonesian CSC was LCKG, but in asian rom that been posted before was OLCKG! 1 letter difference, hmmmmmm..........

So in the mean time there is no 100% rom package for indonesian stock rom, need to find that LCKG first...... I'll post the result if someone of us try this stock rom.:o
[Galaxy S II General] spark001uk:
Puzzled!

Any help with this would be great, I'm really confused now! Got my UK unlocked s2 brand new (ex carphone warehouse), on KF1 ARB (which is Bahrain, don't ask me, CPW didn't have a clue either!). So, i flashed KF3 from here (the latest official XEU). Now, my phone, on typing *#1234#, shows CSC as XEUKD1, that's fine, but KIES sees it as ARB still. Also, typing *#272*IMEI# gives me ARB in the white box at the top of the screen, and completely blank underneath, no list. Can anyone shed any light on this at all??
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
You have to hard reset the device for the change after flashing the XEU firmware.:)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Don't have any data issues with O2. When it's not using any data connection it drops to 3G but once I need it the device switches to HSDPA.
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
Yeah, it does that on mine as well... for the most part. I'm just getting more breaks in the H+ stream than I remember getting with KF2.

Oh well, at least I'm up to date now, lol.
[Galaxy S II General] spark001uk:
Do you mean a factory reset?
[Galaxy S II General] mmmmbeer:
Yes he does
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
KH3 does seem snappier than KF2, although in normal use, the difference is minimal. In games however, HUGE difference. I was getting all sorts of weird pauses/lag in some games... those have completely disappeared since the update.

Guess it does pay off to not be 2 generations behind, hah.
[Galaxy S II General] Steve113:
sorry for the n00b question

my device info:

PDA:	I9100XWKE7

PHONE:	I9100XXKE4

2) I understand Arabic firmware and kernel are available on JPKH1. Can i get this to work on my device?

Sorry Intratech, need revised my statement here, one of kaskus' member(uman gotcha) said that this is correct the indonesian version of ROM(I miss the "O" one yesterday night, arghhhh blame my overwork for holiday), but still no one tried that ROM, anyways thanks mate......this is the screenshot of our original rom for your information.

[Galaxy S II General] spark001uk:
Ok, that's half done it, i now get XEU in the white box when i bring up the sales code menu, but KIES still sees it as ARB firmware. I'm not fussed, I'm a well seasoned Odin user so being able to update with KIES is not important, I just need to find out whether there's something wrong with my flash or if it's just something I can ignore and forget about! :)

EDIT: It looks like I'm going to have to use Odin either way, so could you recommend a better XEU firmware to be on in UK? (On the official XEU XWKF3 at the moment from page#1).

[Galaxy S II General] Jiia:
So I installed I9100XWKE2_I9100XXKDJ_I9100OXXKE2.zip (the nordic version) to my phone and wiped all data afterwards. My phone works normally now and says it has official Samsung firmware but Kies says "this version of the device cannot be updated". Is this normal? And sorry, the search is down for some reason atm.
[Galaxy S II General] Rem¡:
Does someone have the Dutch vodafone firmware? It is BUKE5 / BUKG2 (VDF)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
So it's perfect then? If so have fun.:)

Happy birthday!:D

Hard reset is done by inputting this into the dialler: *2767*3855#

It will wipe everything including the internal SDCARD. Backup anything you want to keep on external SDCARD.

XWKF3 is the latest Nordic firmware. Kies can be flunky at times.

You need to look in the carrier banded firmware thread. Link in the first post.
[Galaxy S II General] spark001uk:
Yep that's what i did. However KIES still seems to think it's ARB, even though in the same sentence it detects the CSC as XEUKD1 !! I think KIES still isn't perfect haha!!

Can you recommend me a better f/w than KF3? (in UK)

thanks

[Galaxy S II General] dazmancumbria:
Right time to try and update again. so have a question....

Im these specs on my phone at the moment :- PDA XWKF3

PHONE XXKE7

CSC XEUKD1

Can i update to XXKH3 ??

Do i have to switch the csc carry for the one in the list ??

cheers daz
[Galaxy S II General] spark001uk:
I'm right with you mate, waiting to find out if I can do the exact same! I've got a rough idea though, I think the KH3 package on the first page has a multi-CSC, which means XEU can be selected from the *#272 sales code menu, except that resets the device. The individual CSC files underneath it are for if you don't wish to reset the phone?

If I'm wrong please correct me anyone!! :) Waiting to flash until it's confirmed.
[Galaxy S II General] dazmancumbria:
So i just install The XXKH3 firmware and replace the csc one with XEU one in the list reset and go ??

ive already reset the phone anyway !!
[Galaxy S II General] spark001uk:
No you just flash the KH3 package, it has a multi csc built in (OXAKH3), so once you've flashed it and booted up the phone, you just enter the phone dialer and enter *#272*xxx# (replace xxx with your imei number obviously), then select XEU and press install.
[Galaxy S II General] Montala:
Just updated my new Vodafone Galaxy S2, which was using stock UK ROM with PDA: KG2, Phone:KG1 and CSC: KE2(VOD) to KH3, using the first Frankenstein XXKH3 package.

I followed the instructions carefully, and all went well.

What has rather surprised me is that although everything is now showing KH3 I still have the (VOD) in the CSC line, and (of course) I still have all the Vodafone software installed.

What do I have to do to install a 'clean' Samsung 'original' version of KH3, with obviously an XEU CSC file?

Thanks :)

(I suppose I could always install something like Lite'ning, just to be different! ;) )
[Galaxy S II General] spark001uk:
Go to dialer and type *#1234# , what does the csc line say now?
[Galaxy S II General] Montala:
Well, actually it shows CSC : I9100OXAKH3 which wasn't actually what I expected!

I suppose I could always change it to XEU though, using the procedure mentioned above, but don't really want to have to start from scratch again, as it were! :)
[Galaxy S II General] dazmancumbria:
Didnt even have to change the csc !!!! yipeeeee

Even rooted it to top it all off :)
[Galaxy S II General] JebyDroid:
thanks. Any chance to have heimdall firmware package? I whant to flash XKWE7 ita but I have only Mac and Linux pc (odin won't work on VM)
[Galaxy S II General] spark001uk:
You can always check which csc its registered as by doing the *#272[imei]# method and looking to see which csc is currently installed (it'll be in a white box at the top) . It wont actually wipe the phone unless you press install.
[Galaxy S II General] Davith:
Even if you selected XEU using the *#272*IMEI# method, it would still show OXA after pressing *#1234#. That doesn't mean that you're not on XEU though.
[Galaxy S II General] spark001uk:
So what happens when we install a package with an oxa csc? What csc will it install by default? Xeu? Or maybe it detects what you had before the flash?
[Galaxy S II General] Montala:
Thanks... I have just done that and found that VOD (obviously for Vodafone!) is the one currently installed, although XEU is offered as an option.

I am tempted to change it as I don't really want (or need) all the various Vodafone 'additions' anyway, however I am not really quite sure what will happen if I do... will I actually lose some of my apps, and the layout revert to the standard Samsung Factory layout... or what?

I am sure that someone must have tried it already! :)
[Galaxy S II General] spark001uk:
Yes, i've tried it! A good few times! Do you have the built-in backup and restore service running? I do, and google's servers keep a record of all your contacts, settings, apps, bookmarks, etc etc. Then when you sign back into your account after the factory reset, it starts downloading all your stuff for you again etc!

You will lose your wallpaper if you changed it, and the odd setting here and there, but on the whole it's a very good service!
[Galaxy S II General] mellll:
Whats the Virgin Mobile Canada stock ROM for the S2?

I cant find that ANYWHERE???
[Galaxy S II General] pae777sano:
Ok, I think I have resolved my problem - hopefully it works for you too.

I can't believe it took me so long to work this out. I feel very foolish.

It appears that the contacts in my phonebook have been transformed into a weird format for the numbers. There's brackets at the start, hyphens, etc.

When I enter the number in manually without any symbols - MMS goes through successfully.

Such an easy fix, after a million ROM changes, forum posts, google searches......

What I am not really sure of is how many of the additional items are part of the default Samsung setup and how many are from Vodafone.

Such things as the Tetris trial and that sort of rubbish. I know that a lot can be removed manually (or 'hidden') anyway, but perhaps someone could tell me how many pages of Applications a 'stock' XEU Galaxy S2 actually comes with?
