I just restored to KH3. I will probably wait for custom ROMS. Can't stand the bold font.

Now one more thing might be worth trying. Backuping the fonts folder and restoring them on the new FW.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Helvetica S is what I used to use, now I'm using Fertigo 18. The fonts can be changed so I don't get the issue.
[Galaxy S II General] MaTiCeK-:
True, but I have no idea what was the old default font's name, and where to find it in the ROM.

Is /system/fonts the only folder where fonts are saved, or is the default font found in some kind of framework and isn't even in the fonts folder?
[Galaxy S II General] thirthy:
if I understood everything, the KI4 contains no bootloaders, so since I am currently in KH3, I have a rom KI4 with BL KH3?

How to have and apply BL KI4?

[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:

Will release a Frankenstein package with XEU if enough people want but from what I hear we should be getting a XEU update shortly as well. Maybe best to wait for a few days?

When you go to the change font in settings there is a button to get more fonts online and then it prompts to install an apk. Once installed you have access to some free fonts for the SGS2.

After successfully flashed and rooted(CF-root).

But now I get a small problem when choosing Reboot into Recovery i Rom Manager.

It boots "Android system recovery <3e>

and display:

Installing package...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:Failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

What have I missed here? Shouldn't Room Manager boot into CWM-recovery and not Android recovery?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
If you check CF's thread you'll see that he recommends that you use his CWM tool instead of ROM Manager. Also wrong thread, this should be in CF's thread.

Here is the bit that CF has hidden from you by writing it down on the 43rd line of his first post in his thread:
[Galaxy S II General] Hrti:
Thanks. What I meant about the pit file was that if one for some reason needed to use the pit file, will it work with the KI4 version that comes without the bootloader? My scenario is that if one re-partitions the phone and there is no bootloader in the .tar package, will it just be empty?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I have posted the old bootloader is a separate tarball that you can use. If you're flashing with repartition, for whatever ungodly reason, just stick the oldbootloader.tar package in the bootloader section of Odin.

I need to turn my phone into "stock phone" and since I live in Norway I found this on page 1:

And this for later down:

XWKE2 Stock Kernel:http://www.multiupload.com/4C47PNWFOH

Is this correct? and what to do with the stock kernel? how to put theese files in Odin?

1st file is called after extraction:

I9100XWKE2_I9100XXKDJ_I9100OXXKE2.tar

and 2. file

I9100XWKE2_Kernel.tar
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Forget about the kernel if you want to just return to stock. If you read the first post you'll see the kernel is just for rooting. I'm sorry I wrote it down and expected you to read it but it's a nice way to hide information these days.
[Galaxy S II General] syklitengutt:
Sorry then and thanks. I read it, but just couldnt make out if it changed kernel or if I had to add it as well.
[Galaxy S II General] MCOGW:
Yes, you're right!

I just wanted to take "the safe way" because each of these three files belong to the bootloaders... ;)

[Galaxy S II General] tjtj4444:
I really prefer installing the complete KI4, could you please add the complete firmware with the new SBL as well?

I would be really surprised if Samsung releases a new SBL only for removing the counter, because if you know how to use a rig then you know how to install an old SBL anyway. So I expect some other bugfixes in the SBL as well.

EDIT: As Intratech pointed out, it could be found in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17703974&postcount=4053 earlier today.

I was going to ask something similar to those that have tested KI4. What impressions do you have?

Only read that Talk still lacks video, and bolder font also remains (since KH4 I believe), but no other comments on the firmware...

How does it feel in general... any changes? probably too early to judge battery performance.

Cheers and thanks Intratech!
[Galaxy S II General] Montala:
Sorry, but things are moving so fast, I am getting a bit lost! So, just to clarify the position here... at present, you are listing a Frankenstein version of XWKI4 comprising PDA: XWKI4| Modem/phone: XXKI1| CSC: XEUKD1

Are you still saying that you also expect to be releasing an additional 'official' XEU update shortly, then? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] Chainfire:
They removed the Android USB host APIs in KI4. You can still connect USB sticks and whatnot, but 3rd party software can no longer control random USB devices (aside from reading data).

Also of course they broke the JIG.

Both these really need a news post... Samsung needs to get some bad press for both those things.

Aside from those two things, I haven't really noticed any difference.
[Galaxy S II General] MCOGW:

[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
The Frankenstein version is not official, it's repackaged with XEU CSC. Yes, from what I hear, an official XEU update will be released shortly. I cannot say if it will be XWKI4 though.

---------- Post added at 10:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------

Once again, I don't know anything about the files that Samfirmware uploads so I cannot comment on them. I really hate when people keep asking me about Samfirmware stuff.

The official XWKI4 packages from Samsung are available in the second post, they have had the bootloader blocking the counter reset removed.

The Frankenstein firmwares are not official firmware. The XWKI4 package there has been repackaged with the XEU CSC.

Question about debranding, i've got a Telenor(Norway) branded phone, but i just flashed the XWKI4 MultiCSC to unbrand it, found this: http://www.techofweb.com/technology/debranding-rebranding-sgs2.html and after flashing it says i should change the CSC code, so i typed the stuff and my IMEI, and the preconfig screen says "TEN" which is from the Telenor package i believe, should i just let it say that and do hard reset? Or do i need to choose one of the package in the screen and click install, and then do a hard reset? If am not mistake i should choose NEE?

Edit: By doing a *#1234# PDA says: I9100XWKI4 PHONE: I9100XXKI1 CSC: I9100OXXKI2

Edit2: Did a hard reset, without doing any install from the Sales Code window, and when i then got back to the Sales Code window, my Sales Code is now ODK. My guess is that i should choose NEE and Install and then do a hard reset? The reason for saying NEE is because that's what @Intratech said to me a few pages back when i asked what to choose if i had an Norwegian phone, this is correct? Or should i just let it stay at ODK?

does it means that Telstra official ROM is now available?
[Galaxy S II General] akbarhash:
Since it is a middle east device, and if arabic keyboard is important to you then you have two options one is getting the new ROM by Intratech then sideloading the arabic keyboard. This is a little complicated.

The other is to wait for official release from samsung through kies.

But since you say that your device is not updating you can go for jpkg2 or jpkg5 and then try to update through kies when the update comes around.

(i am in oman and these are the last updates i got officially, then i switched to intratech roms kh3 now kh4 since i dont use the arabic keyboard.)

If you dont care for the arabic keyboard then Intratech is the way to go the kh3 and kh4 roms both have english support and can display arabic sites.

i hope this is clear.

[Galaxy S II General] MeX_DK:
Intratech,

Is it not possible for you just to upload the altered PDA "files" with each release as well?. I mean I can just add my own CSC before flashing your file, but in effect it means your file is flashed first and thus another CSC then I want, and then the one I want following it.

I might just be a stickler, but I am unaware if first flashing "your" file with the CSC you have chosen, and then flashing another CSC on top of that actually has any adverse effects. Compared to just flashing the PDA alone, and then flashing the CSC i want in the same go.

HOWEVER, If Odin ignores flashing the CSC from your complete file when I have chosen a completely different CSC then there is no problems.

But I have honest no idea about how Odin flashes and if it ignores contents of the PDA file, if there is something "added" under Phone or CSC

[Galaxy S II General] Cladon:
It is official!
[Galaxy S II General] mmmmbeer:
I agree somewhat with this. There were some noticeable differences between 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 which to me were just changes rather than improvements. As for the various different firmwares I tried of the 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 variety I didn't notice anything practical that improved my device or my usage of it. There are surely changes otherwise why release new firmware but probably just tweaks and bug fixes, nothing to write home about. I preferred 2.3.3 to be honest.

[Galaxy S II General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
I've never really had a good enough reason to flash my phone to the latest firmware... I'm still on good ol' stock KE7, and I've had no issues whatsoever. My battery life has always been about what I'd expect from such a powerful device, and EVERY feature works without issue. Sure, I may still be on 2.3.3, and as such I may not "officially" have GTalk video support, but obviously there are ways around that. MHL works perfectly. OTG cable works perfectly. I've never had the red spot camera issue. I don't seem to have the Android System battery bug. No other issues really.

I guess, my point is, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" and for me, stock KE7 was never broken.

Besides that, it looks like Samsung may be doing like what Sony has historically done with the PlayStation______ by disabling certain features on later firmware updates. As such, newer doesn't always = better IMO...

That's my two cents! :)
