It maybe that this firmware is not fully compatible with your service provider. Similar thing was happening with an early UK firmware and Orange UK devices.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
This is weird. If the firmware flash completed successfully then the device should have been updated unless it has been flash locked.
[Galaxy S II General] UpInTheAir:
Hi Intratech,

Totally agree with you mate and sure 99% are grateful for your active support that you have not only given myself, but to new users as well. I hope this trolling does not deter you from continuing, as your support here at this thread and indeed XDA has been first class.

Cheers for the links and supporting your thread.

What I need to upgrade?

Hello,

My phone is actually running the ROM

XWKJ2

Firmware info

PDA:XWKJ2

PHONE: XXKI4

Date: 21/10/2011

Android 2.3.5

I need to know what I must consider to upgrade to Android 2.3.6 another ROM.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
You're doing something wrong or have a corrupt download. I just downloaded and extracted it, 11 other people have downloaded it as well and I don't see anyone posting that they have any issues.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I've never flashed just CSC but I have done the modem and pda on their own so I think it maybe ok but not 100% sure. If it fails you can always flash the full package.
[Galaxy S II General] kendragon:
Ok thanks
[Galaxy S II General] vijayvasa:

My Sgs2 came yesterday with the follow:

Baseband version:

I9100XXKE2

Kernel version:

2.6.35.7-I9100XXKE2-CL187552.se.infra@SEP-55#2

How do I know which of those flash should I install on the phone?

It is unbranded and I'm using it on T-Mobile USA. Got it from eXpansys, so am guessing its a unit from Poland.

thanks
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Once more, on the dialpad type in *#1234# and post the details here.
[Galaxy S II General] bhagiratha:
I'M sorry, here is the info from my phone ...

[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Nothing to be sorry about, I think my post came out quite different from what I intended. I'M SORRY. :)

As for the firmware to use, well There is XXKE4 available and it's the newest version that matches your device.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Does multiupload limit how much you can upload or something? I'm trying unsuccessfully to upload the stock 3 Sweden firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
3Sweden XWKE1 download added.
[Galaxy S II General] Oat23:
Is there a way to permanently change the csc and firmware on a phone by using the Frankenstein pack? I have a phone from Poland and would like to change it to UK.

Or if I did change it to the UK firmware, would I be able to upgrade directly to future UK firmwares or would it have to be by the Frankenstein firmware only?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Once it's changed to the UK firmware, including CSC, you'll get UK firmware updates. You'll need to hard reset after flashing the XEU firmware, dialpad *2767*3855#, and flash again to make sure the CSC changes to XEU. Hard resetting will wipe your internal storage as well as the phone so ensure you backup anything you on the internal storage that you don't want to lose.
[Galaxy S II General] Oat23:
Thank you very much, that was quick!
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
You're welcome. Have fun with the device. :)

Wow! There must be loads of Galaxy S 2 phones in Italy judging by the download numbers for the ITV XWKE7. :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] bhagiratha:
Which of those should I be flashing?

XEO (Poland): http://www.multiupload.com/RJBLA8UKPX

MD5:D47D4D77C0104A12E42F772B06B22727

XXKE4 Stock Kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/7DR2HMRW0L

Password: intratech@XDA

I downloaded the stock kernel, but I got a .exe file and not a .rar as in your instructions.

Also, would this flash work in Parallels Desktop running windows xp pro? I read somewhere that doing this kind of flashing doesn't always work so well in a virtual environment.

update

Got the file extracted, but ...

When I put the phone in ODIN MODE, I get the following error from the virtual machine:

"Unable to connect the USB device to your virtual machine. the device cannot be connected now."

Update 2

Ok, disregard the above. I borrowed a friends laptop and all went well. Phone is now ROOTED with Kernel version I9100XXKE4!

Thank you for all the help. Now all we need is CWM :)
[Galaxy S II General] msjfb:
Sorry to bump this but I was going to go ahead and flash only the PDA segment when some responses here to a similar question have me wondering...

I have flashed Samsung devices before (Omnia) and as far I remember I could flash any portion independently.

I just want to be sure: the phone came with polish firmware and I want to update to KE7 and make sure the phone is OK before I do any major changes. Can I do just this portion now and If I decide to go for a full UK burn I will do it later.

Is the XEU CSC the generic UK KE7 firmware?

Will this debrand my O2 phone?

Thanks :D
[Galaxy S II General] daveok:
Thanks for the guide and all your work. This worked perfectly first time on my Vodafone branded SGS2.

I know there is no changelist but I have noticed two things (one good, one bad).

The browser no longer allows me to stop identifying as Android Mobile which means I can no longer view BBC Iplayer streams over Vodafone.

On the plus side, the bluetooth must have been improved with Message Access Profile as my car can now display and read out text messages. It still can't read my emails or calendar though (even though my very old BlackBerry 9700 running OS6 can do all that).

As Bluetooth has changed I am going to try my wiimote later.

[Galaxy S II General] OGroteKoning:
This is not directed at JJe specifically. You did offer help too. I respect what the devs do and sometimes I wait a couple of days and visit a couple of forums before I make a decision. We need to remember that some people are not that technically inclined to just read a thread a couple of times and then be able to do technical tasks. Sometimes they just need some grace and confirmation from the ones who can assist to prevent making mistakes that can cost them dearly. I am not ranting at all guys. But you have the knowledge and the ones asking the questions will certainly appreciate your kind help. Isn't that what forums are for? To those helping others unconditionally, thank you! We all learn by reading the helpfull posts.

[Galaxy S II General] tann3r12:
hi everyone. i can just flash any of these on to my phone regardless of region correct?
[Galaxy S II General] tiggerrdrr:
i would try XILA2 from Intra's Frankenstein firmware section (i wont give the link here in case it all changes due to links broken/New uploads). seems to be the best one i have had so far in terms of battery use, and seems smooth to me. but all is based on opinion. your location, network and use may give varied results.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
If you device is an international I9100 version then yes. If it's one of the many variants with different hardware then no. Please be sure before flashing.
[Galaxy S II General] mbutandola:
Guys,

I hear that a new ICS version is out.

Has anyone tried it? If the answer is yes, how stable is it? Cheers.

[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I've been using it since yesterday. I've had no crashes so far and everything I've checked works. There was one instance where my HSDPA connection was a bit funny but since it only occurred once I figured it was more network coverage issue as opposed to the firmware. This is the longest I have kept a ICS firmware on the device and that's saying a lot.

If people want it I will upload a non-wipe XEU Frankenstein version that I've been using since I now consider this firmware something one can kick it with on their device.
[Galaxy S II General] tann3r12:
sorry im a noob..how can i be completely positive that it is? the model is just gt-i9100 and it doesn't have anything on it besides the samsung logo.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Dial *#1234# and post the details that appear. It does look like you have a normal SGS II but I want to be certain. :)

[Galaxy S II General] :
Hi Intratech. Thanks! Is there a way back to GB or is this one direction only? Just to be sure :-)

I think to remember posts from older ICS leaks where people had troubles moving back.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
You mean apart from flashing back with Odin? Well you can do what I do, make a CWM backup and just restore it and flash back whichever modem I want after the restore is completed.

I've added the firmware in the Frankenstein section along with the kernel. Probably best not to add it to the title do that less advance users won't get attracted to it. I did a straight flash from XILA2 to this Frankenstein XXLPB and it hasn't caused any issues so should be a painfree flash for most.
[Galaxy S II General] cirian75:
my GS II is a branded UK from from "three"

PDA: I9100XWKI8

PHONE: I900NEI2

CSC: I9100H3GKI2

Its running 2.3.5 atm, but I'm sure "three" have throttled its tether performance

so

Which firmware for turning it in a generic uk firmware 2.3.5 / 2.5.6 ?
[Galaxy S II General] mrjeffery:
Intratech, how does LPB compare to LA2? Apart from he obvious differences between GB and ICS, does it run as smoothly?
[Galaxy S II General] HSOC:
thank you Intratech for the ics release :-)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It's feels smooth mostly. I have experienced some lag on a few occasions whilst doing random things on the device but since it's still BETA software this can happen.
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
Oooo, ICS beta? Tempted, purely because it's in THIS thread. :D
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Do a full CWM backup and you can just restore your present install quickly and easily if you don't like.

[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Erm, a more polished TouchWIZ with a few unfinished notification icons??:):)

It mostly works, I figure it's mostly minor cosmetic issues and performance tuning that's going to be focused on by Samsung at this point before they reach release candidate stage of development.
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
nice...btw does face unlock work ok? and from previous tests i think there is a bug where you are connected to the wifi but it doesnt show the wifi connection icon...

[Galaxy S II General] mbevc1:
Great, looks like we are getting very close to final release :) Does this release have all EU languages or is it just regular XX relase?

btw, I9100XWLA4-MOTLA1 has been released :) Intra can you re-pack it for us? ;) maybe also a Frankie packet ? :)

[Galaxy S II General] pellajl:
Intratech,

Hello, you have done a great job in this thread. I thought I would tell you about a problem rooting my GT9100 phone.

Just upgraded to 2.3.6 using the XWKK2 XSA (Australia) download. Everything went well and the phone is working well.

Tried to root the phone using the two methods you outline on page 1, neither work.

SuperOneClick V. 1.9.5 just sits there with a ADB window open and and does nothing else. In the second method, the script window reveals ADB is unable to make folders and write to folders.

Looks like someone needs to write and exploit for 2.3.6.

Regards

John

Are you sure you flash an insecure kernel before trying the SuperOneClick ROOT method?

Anyone tried downgrading from LPB to LA2? No issues?

If you downgrade by flash you will have issues, from bootloop to FC'ing. If you do a CWM restore then it will be ok.

Hello everyone, I'd like to ask whether these ICS builds finally render everything in 24/32bit, or it's still stuck at 16bit:mad: I'd really like to have gradients, not stairs:(
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Frankenstein XWLA4 firmware and kernel now available. CF-Root is also ready, check CF's thread.:)

edit: Used XXKI3 modem as I've had some reports from users of KL1 not playing well with their service provider. If you want KL1 modem it's available in the modem thread.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Have you ever tried one of the newer Modems. I'm using LP6 with LA2 ROM and have great results ( Battery, reception, speed). Additionally, the LP Modem series is enabling signal viewing applications to read out the right dBm value now....

And one question to ICS: Is it correct that GB is not supporting dual core "fully" and ICS is optimized for this, or is this a wrong rumor I heard?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I really don't understand that statement. The linux kernel has had full support for multiple processors and multi-core processors. The argument is probably that app optimisation for multi-core CPUs was not really good in GB.

As for the modem, I'm using the LPB modem at present.
[Galaxy S II General] rikz112:
intratech quick question with la2 did u have any problems with the stock email app? as me and my mrs i flashed with this and stock email does not work and having to use the hotmail app

and also how u getting along with beta ics i see you have released? whats not working?

thanks for all your uploads this thread is the best
[Galaxy S II General] :
For me the most convinient way to get rooted, without getting this nasty triangle and w/o counter increasing was to use Method 2 (Doomlord) on a ROM that could be rooted with it (in my case it was XWKI4, 2.3.5)

From there on I used Mobile ODIN Pro (Chainfire) with enabled EVERROOT option. Keeps Root on any update and enables custom kernel loading w/o counter impact or triangle as it somehow does not use the bootloader from our device (don't know how it works, but it does...)

Never needed to re-Root any more, no connection to PC required....I personally love it ;-)

Hi Intratech so I downloaded the Frankenstein ICS ROM and flashed it. Long story short, boot loop>wipe cache, dalvik> Reflash> boot loop> recovery> factory reset> worked> titanium backup to restore.

Anyways just wanted to put this out there.

Now to OT question. So I got Google Apps from 'somewhere' extracted LatinimeGoogle.apk 'ICS Keyboard' and installed it. Now I was hoping I would get underline correction like they showed in the ICS videos. Didn't happen. Keyboard works flawlessly but the Microsoft Office style spell check and word suggestion doesn't. Do you have any idea about this?

P.S. The keyboard is not some gingerbread version but a ICS version meant for CM9.
