Two things I've noticed:

1) It apppears to fix the battery drain issue, but I've only had it on battery power for a short time. Android System was around 5% and Android OS around 3%

2) I just noticed I had a minor GPS issue (i.e. using beautiful widgets' weather app, it wouldn't change the location - it does now!).

Again, it's been on battery for about an hour, so this might not mean anything, but I was seeing the whole power drainage thing in the past days...
[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:
Im going to update myself once the phone charges a bit, i updated from KDF to KDH and didn't see any difference is there anything new or changes in KDJ ??????

This Firmware + 1.5GHz overclock =

Tasssty! :)
[Galaxy S II General] maddoguk:
Did you root it again through the same method?
[Galaxy S II General] Shaady:
Kies is asking me to update to the latest version, and then upgrade the firmware, though when I check, it tells me that I am running the latest version! :mad:

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II General] risq:
I used the 1.5GHz kernel and rooted with superoneclick, yes ;)
[Galaxy S II General] beppez82:
Cool i was hoping in these and there was good reason if Samsung released these trough kies before the beginning of the sales in others markets...u can see if it improve also leaving the phone in idle for a 25 with the battery history resettled and like 10m of display cos android os with suspension mode don't have to eat battery because is a nonsense in my opinion XD

Device Administrator permission???

When I try to upgrade through KIES, after it backs up my device content and then starts to download the firmware, it does not progress beyond 0% but instead gives an error message saying that upgrade failed as did not get permission from device administrator....Is there anything I need to change on the phone to 'give such permission'???

Please help.
[Galaxy S II General] Jeshter2000:
Odin package available at Samfirmware...

[Galaxy S II General] bliikki:
I have exactly the same problem. Seems like everything is back to normal after restarting the phone, but updating doesn't seem to work. DLL Load Fail is the exact error message.
[Galaxy S II General] pvanberlo:
Parts of the upgrade require Windows administrator access. You are probably running Vista or Windows 7 - you should see a popup asking you for permission to run things as administrator (or an icon pops up in your taskbar). Make sure you give it permission to do its thing.
[Galaxy S II General] bentez2003:
Me too. Small heart attack over I might use Odin.
[Galaxy S II General] AXIS of Reality:
Mine got the exact same error - DLL fail.

I didn't notice if the progress bar had started, my phone was off to the side while I watched TV. :rolleyes:

I'm worried about turning it off now and not being able to turn it back on....still got it plugged in, so from this download mode I should be able to just chuck the firmware on via odin right?

EDIT: Ok, I unplugged it and forced it to turn off (hold down power button until screen goes black). Restarted, and seems all fine with just the phone not having updated.

Extra info:

I'm in Australia, using the latest Kies downloaded via Samsung's UK site in the GT-I9100 downloads section. My Galaxy S is unlocked and imported from UK (via Hantec), and my PC is running Windows 7 64-bit.
[Galaxy S II General] winwiz:
Thank you for this, I have a samsung galaxy s2 which I purchased on O2. I am currently running PDA:KDF / PHONE:KDJ / CSC:KDD (DBT)

I've plugged my phone into KIES and it tells me that this version of the device cannot be updated.

How can I use this link to update my phone?
[Galaxy S II General] Jeshter2000:
Read the instructions on Samfirmware
[Galaxy S II General] Avantis:
Is this the CSC : KD1 version?? thanks
[Galaxy S II General] Jeshter2000:
YES it is !
[Galaxy S II General] lukemo:
Are you sure? I can't find after rooting the kies option on usb so I can't download from kies. The name of the CSC in the samfirmware is OXEKE1. Is it the same of Kies really?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] Dajackaltje:
I have

PDA:XE1 PHONE:KDJ CSC:KD3 (XEN)

Can i flash the one from the samfirmware site?

Since my csc is different from most people here.

Got my phone in the netherlands.
[Galaxy S II General] AXIS of Reality:
Can anyone comment on any changes they've noticed?

Eg: New Samsung apps, visual changes, performance (benchmarks or just perceived), battery life, etc
[Galaxy S II General] eitama:
Like this? (hehe)

I'm having the same ****.

Prior to this, I had "Dll Load Fail", so i removed kies, removed all traces of it from regedit, reinstall, and reach the above state...
[Galaxy S II General] winwiz:
I'm guessing mine is giving me that error message due to my phone being an o2 model and not a sim free samsung handset

[Galaxy S II General] valdigre:
Interesting, My "Software update" option is greyed out for the phone.

What could be the reason?

33% of battery remaining?

Oh and by the way, the FOTA software update option in i9100 does not detect any new firmware, anyone tried updating from within the phone or this option does not work yet?
[Galaxy S II General] lukemo:
Sorry if I repeat the question, are you sure that the last samfirmware release is the same?
[Galaxy S II General] sohanlon07:
I assume you need a windows PC to do this. You can do it over the air on the phone?
[Galaxy S II General] turt:
You already have the latest version...
[Galaxy S II General] intacept:
just an update i was getting the DLL error and it was making the firmware update fail. I have tried again and everything worked this time.

Hopefully it was just a glitch first time round.
[Galaxy S II General] Rumble6059:
just updated officially [with kies] without a hitch...all seems to be ok so far. checked all the info and seen whats changed. as for physical changes, i cant see any [yet] but my benchmark has increased by about 200, but my root has gone, so now going to reflash root kernel :-)
[Galaxy S II General] Jeshter2000:
Im sure... Just check
[Galaxy S II General] Bart1981:
When I try to connect the device to Kies I get the following message:

Reconnect the device in Samsung Kies (pc studio) modus. The current connectionmodus is nog supported by Kies.

WTF?!?! Anybody know what I should do?

I have the latest version of Kies. I installed the drivers. Rebooted my pc, etc.
[Galaxy S II General] simonk83:
How do you check which PDA etc version you have?
[Galaxy S II General] Rumble6059:
lol, i had this, confused and worried me for a lil while.

i'm updating now!
[Galaxy S II General] ronj1986:
Can someone test the camera app, and tell me if the option to turn off shutter sound is there now? And try recording a video, see if the pause button is there now also.

Thanks anyone who will test & confirm this for me:-)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Sorry should have posted that download and instructions in the new thread
[Galaxy S II General] Avantis:
could you please upload this new version?

thanks
[Galaxy S II General] eitama:
Ok, we are back in business, after downloading the new kies version update, the FW update appears once more. Updating.
[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:
This was the same for me i turned my phone off then back on, and re connected to Kies and it spotted it this time, i had about the same amount of battery u had and it asked me to charge.. So i tried it again on 50% and it worked, and updated fine ...
[Galaxy S II General] risq:
No option for shutter sound yet. No option for pause either..
[Galaxy S II General] rouvax:
I m curious about battery issue
[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:
Hi ronj1986 the camera shutter sound is still there doesn't look like u can turn it off..

Also no there isn't a pause button on cam mode that is a bit of a pain never noticed that before.... Hope this helps bud

^^^^^^^^^

Opppppssss he beat me to it
[Galaxy S II General] Leggenda:
Same here...
[Galaxy S II General] flash3d:
Sorry for my ignorance, but as i understand:

When rooted you can use kies to update

You will loose root again

You have to follow exact same steps again to root (or can you skip some steps)

After that you will have root again with the new updates you just received from kies.

Correct?
[Galaxy S II General] Rumble6059:
yeah that is correct...however i am currently having issues reinstalling Root :-(

got the chainfire kernel but cant get superoneclick to recognise my phone :-( Anyone??? help!

Rumble

EDIT: UPDATE - sorted it...forgot to turn USB de-bugging back on as had to turn it off for the update :-p stupid me

so i can confirm that just follow the

full

root instructions after the update and it'll work fine :-) Rumble
[Galaxy S II General] walda:
new to sgs but when we reflash the old kernel to root... we have an old kernel and not the one from KE1

sent from my SGSII via T*patalk
[Galaxy S II General] Rumble6059:
doesn't matter, i just re-did mine [without the CSC update] and the pda-phone-csc stayed as KE1-KDJ-KE1 which was what it was before i re-rooted :-)
[Galaxy S II General] dysfunction:
I can't connect my SG2 to Kies. It tells me to reconnect the phone in Samsung Kies (PC Suite) Mode...

How do I change the phone mode??

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] Rytkonen:
Do you have usb debugging enabled?
[Galaxy S II General] kersey:
After the firmware is downloaded via Kies, which folder is the firmware located in and does anyone know how to extract just the kernel :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] pvanberlo:
Read a couple of posts back. Disable USB debugging mode.
[Galaxy S II General] jamesking420:
Has this firmware got the "generic" CSC that we've all been waiting for? I can't rmeember which CSC was supposed to be generic!
[Galaxy S II General] Artius89:
Can someone just up the kernel, so we can flash it back after rooting?
[Galaxy S II General] dysfunction:
Ah excellent! Thank you!
[Galaxy S II General] emorej:
i got DLL fail after updating, now my phone is stucked on android robot with "downloading..Do not turn off the target" What should i do?
[Galaxy S II General] pvanberlo:
Switch if off and on again - that seems to work for most people. Of course I'm not taking responsibility if it does break :-) I had a similar issue - it complained it couldn't switch to upgrade mode, so I just restarted the phone.
[Galaxy S II General] emorej:
so how did you manage to upgrade after that?lols im afraid to run the upgrade again..
[Galaxy S II General] NoOneCanHelpMe:
i had the same error, rebooted the phone, but first i unplugged the cables, started Kies and then plugged back in and it worked :)
[Galaxy S II General] vimto25:
If i update to this firmware and i want root with the new overclock kernel id first have to flash chains kernel to gain root then flash the overclock kernel ? Is this right thanks
[Galaxy S II General] pvanberlo:
Just try again :-) In my case it was a slow laptop trying to load drivers and taking too long - people have encountered the same error you got, and it appears it just works if you try again.
[Galaxy S II General] winwiz:
Do you still have the o2 splash screens at boot and shut down?
[Galaxy S II General] winwiz:
Some advice please guys

So I am unable to download via the official methods for some strange reason, its tells me my device cannot be updated on this version.

So I have download the firmware from samfirmware, so when I load Odin, so I just select the PDA part and load the file:

CODE_I9100XEKE1_CL181974_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5

Can someone please clarify this for me :(
[Galaxy S II General] Paddee:
Any way of updating without Kies, my stupid corp laptop won't install Kies.

Or I just wait till I get home, and see what every one says about the new firmware. Is there a doc to go with this, to see what they've updated?
[Galaxy S II General] psp888:
yes, still have o2 splashscreen
[Galaxy S II General] nechmadi:
i updated kies to last version but it still says update to last version of kies and then update firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] Leggenda:

[Galaxy S II General] hpsauce37:
what does this update actually bring?

i notice somewhere someone mentioned about the cpu speed being 1500 now?

anything else been resolved by it?
[Galaxy S II General] 101matt101:
The CPU speed is only 1500mhz if youn use the 1500mhz Kernel, the update doesn't overclock the processor
[Galaxy S II General] Bart1981:
That did the trick!
[Galaxy S II General] bliikki:
Update still doesn't work. It's still the same Dll Load Fail. I've tried about 10 times, always restarting phone and kies, unconnected the usb cable from the phone. I even tried to play with firewall settings and tried to run Kies as an administrator. Still no luck. I have Vista 32bit.
[Galaxy S II General] Furbious:
You're not alone - I'm in the same position, damn kies is so flaky.

BTW, if you have any vpn software running, it'll probably crash the firmware downloader too (firepass does, nice :()

Think it's time to use odin.
[Galaxy S II General] winwiz:
can you kindly post some instructions on how to use odin please

i've just come over from a htc and this odin program is new to me

ive downloaded the firmware files but am not sure which ones to select for pda etc

the largest file ends in .tar.md5? and is around 500mb
[Galaxy S II General] asrangi:
OK i just updated via odin and all my user data is intact!
[Galaxy S II General] AXIS of Reality:
Ok, after getting the DLL error the first time, I've restarted my phone and PC, reconnected it and tried the update again.

And it worked.

Seems like Kies may be the most unreliable element here, so if you get the error just restart both and try again.
[Galaxy S II General] Furbious:
Someone has already been kind enough to post the firmware and instructions in this here thread

Now fully upgraded. Kies is a POS, it now doesn't connect to the phone at all, but windows has no problems copying media to the sd or phone memory.....
[Galaxy S II General] dwarfhero:
When trying to update officially through kies, it says 'Failed to acquire permissions from the gt-i9100 adminstrator. This program will now close'

Anyone have any idea what may be the problem here?
[Galaxy S II General] winwiz:
thanks for this buddy, really appriciate it!

Ive managed to update it now, when I do *#1234# to check my software version I get

CSC: Unknown

Is this what is to be expected? PDA is KE1 and Phone is KDH
[Galaxy S II General] sohanlon07:
Did the trick for me too. I assume all apps, layouts etc stay the same after the update?
[Galaxy S II General] vimto25:
why is the phone not gone to stock properly after this update? i wanted to go to stock but everything still the same,??
[Galaxy S II General] guest member:
Ahh Kies - I thought you had gotten half decent. How wrong I was. Got the same DLL fail error multiple times. I restarted everything, even my cat's heart. Still no good. Off to Odin's house...

After several dll load failed and various reinstall i uninstalled kies and samsung drivers and installed again Kies_2.0.0.11044_11_3.exe (downloaded from samsung website).

This time i "did not" update kies to the last version and the firmware update went fine.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:

and Root?

is Superoneclick working?
[Galaxy S II General] vimto25:
on this rom yes, just flash chains kernal and superoneclick, then flash original stock kernal (no super1click needed as its rooted allready) Chains has list of downloads for each stock kernel. and your phone will be updated and rooted with stock kernel :D no triangle at start up after stock kernel flashed.
[Galaxy S II General] Scraticus:
guys, if you are having the dll fail, it is due to windows 7 not giving it admin access.

what you need to do

make sure phone is unplugged!

run kies from the shortcut on your desktop with 'run as administrator'

let it run.

THEN plug your phone in and wait for it to 'see' the phone

it will then tell you there is an update.

let it update, then all is good.

hope this helps.

[Galaxy S II General] David Horn:
DLL error solution:

* Use UK version of Kies - ends 11_3, running "As Administrator".

* If you use a password / pattern lock, temporarily disable it.

* Start process - as the phone restarts, you'll see Windows try to install a driver but not quite succeed before the DLL error occurs.

* DO NOT CLOSE KIES.

* Restart the phone.

* Wait until it's completely restarted, then reconnect it to the PC.

* Kies will attempt the firmware update again and this time it will work, with the driver already loaded into memory and installing quickly.
