Thank you both, I realized that I was not using any program for extracting the file. Apparently Windows needs it and is not like linux or mac that is already in built in the os. Anyhow winrar did the work, apologies for the misunderstanding and again thanks for the patience and support. This is the thread :D
[Galaxy S II General] gogua:
this XXKF2 has european languages ?

Thank you
[Galaxy S II General] mbushnaq00:
Its for United Arab Emirates or middle east version

i attached a screenshot in my previous post which is the stock version for.the baseband kernel and build number

it would be really great if you upload it
[Galaxy S II General] damigor:
.exe

Thank you for Your Job.

I want to ask yo if you can change the compression of the file . I have problems to open this file with my mac.

Thanks!!
[Galaxy S II General] buzmay:
Why do you want to decompress them on mac if for flashing you must do it via windows ie no virtual machine?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
This will be a problem as this way I can really compress the files for faster upload and download and also it's easier to extract by double-click. Is there a program for handling 7zip archives on Mac? It should extract the archive.

Yes.

XXKF2 firmware now available along with kernel

Frankenstein XXKF2 with XEUKD1 CSC also available.

Have fun lads, I'm off to enjoy myself for a bit. :)
[Galaxy S II General] gogua:
Hi !!!

I think copy/paste makes you wrong, jajajajaja

thank you
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
Interesting, so KF2 is the official EU release? :-)
[Galaxy S II General] vladleo:
first touch

first impressions: faster boot times, fast touch wiz....music hub present...fast...fast...fast....in short...everything ZKF4 is plus more:D...thx Intratech....hope you're enjoying this as much as I do....out to play more:))
[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:

[Galaxy S II General] mbushnaq00:
Ok the stock version for the middle east version is

PDA: XWKE2 | PHONE: XWKE1 | CSC: XWKE2

Can someone please upload... thanx
[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:
Im on KF4 but the phone version is KE4, so which one should i use There is KF2 on this new version ????
[Galaxy S II General] shanume:
is there any difference from KF4 and KF2?
[Galaxy S II General] painterceessie:
come from KF1,now KF2.

Can't see for now any difference.
[Galaxy S II General] shanume:
this is because I use KF4 is a asian version so only chinese and english langauge on it, and I will just know is with one is newest KF2 or KF4 :D and battery issue. :)
[Galaxy S II General] painterceessie:
Yes the battery,let's hope it's a little bit better.

I think we all wait for 2.3.4.

They say then the battery issue is gone.

We will see.
[Galaxy S II General] shanume:
yeah u r right everyone is wait for 2.3.4 and get video call from google talk :D

iam use KF4 now and I use only 6% in 10 hours on standby while I sleep hehe
[Galaxy S II General] ZaKaTRoN:
Please XXKF2 has spanish language and spanish swype?

Thanks!

Anyone have any comments on the XXKF2 modem?

Is it possible if someone could post that modem for me to try?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] Maxi66:
Came from KF4 flashed KF2 without wipe. Now have back German language :)

Don't know why others phones are always faster when they flash a "new" firmware. Mine couldn't be faster from the very beginning (flash counter now on 35). I could not find any improvment at all on all the different firmwares I have tried.

Anyhow it makes fun and everytime you flash a new FW, it is like you have something new in your hand without knowing what is new :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] sumeshd:
@intratech..

sorry for bothering you bro bt plz do remember to add ODDKE2(INU)..indian csc..
[Galaxy S II General] total360:
Just a quick one, KF4 has all the SMS themes built in, KF2 does not, am I doing something wrong?
[Galaxy S II General] painterceessie:
I agree,we are just littte kids,lol:D
[Galaxy S II General] vladleo:
KF2

davidoff08: i was on ZSKF4 before

KF2 is running very good...it's a keeper!
[Galaxy S II General] sumeshd:
guys..a question..

I am about to flash zskf4..

how do I root it???:rolleyes:

no zsk4-cf root..no insecure kf4 kernel..

how??:(
[Galaxy S II General] total360:
I've gone to a hybrid of KF4 and KF2, lightning fast!!!
[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:
So you using a KF2 modem are u.... im not sure how to just add the KF2 modem on its own
[Galaxy S II General] total360:
All I did was use the KF4 as the PDA and then KF2 as the Phone.
[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:
Ok where did u get the individual files, i got all 3 together,and added them to PDA
[Galaxy S II General] total360:
I used the PDA from KF4 and Phone from the KF2 and placed them in the relevant slot in Odin.
[Galaxy S II General] Alta1r:
So yo mean you just extracted the files from the ROMs and used these to flash? Or did you use the full ROMs?
[Galaxy S II General] total360:
I'm not sure how I can put it much simpler than, download the files from Page 1 for the KF2 and KF4 packages. Then extract and choose PDA from KF4 and Phone from KF2 and flash it.
[Galaxy S II General] otacon888:
I am on kf4.

Can I just flash the kf2 modem with Odin?
[Galaxy S II General] bluebirds:
How are you finding the modem? Is it better than KE?
[Galaxy S II General] total360:
Seems a lot better, signal is more consistent and the internet speeds seem a bit faster. Not really had chance to test fully yet.
[Galaxy S II General] bluebirds:
Interesting. Have you tried both ke4 and ke7 modems?
[Galaxy S II General] total360:
Yes, I found KE7 to be the best of the KE's. KF2 is better than KF4, hence why I'm hybrid at the moment. It's very stable... Love the mono message theme too much to run KF2 PDA.
[Galaxy S II General] bluebirds:
How did you root KF4 Kernel?
[Galaxy S II General] total360:
Why would I want to root?!
[Galaxy S II General] bluebirds:
Just flashed KF2 modem and have no data. Mmmmm
[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:
Ive done the same thing all seems ok i still have lost the music hub though lol.. not sure about other changes ....
[Galaxy S II General] Hrti:
All these new ROMs rolling out :eek: Wonder why some are without SMS skins, some without the ability to change fonts etc. Hoping the version that comes to the UK has both so I can flash it :D
[Galaxy S II General] total360:
I've lost the music hub too, but I don't use it to be honest, so it's no huge loss. As soon as a UK ROM is out with KF I will update to that.
[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:
What data have u lost bluebird
[Galaxy S II General] total360:
Orange Galaxy SII's are known not to work with some of the firmwares from earlier in the lifecycle.
[Galaxy S II General] bluebirds:
Mobile data. Won't connect via 3G etc.
[Galaxy S II General] kitch9:
Does XT9 work on the dialer with KF2?
[Galaxy S II General] adityasen:
Does anyone know how to root KF2? I can only find an insecure kernel for KF1.
[Galaxy S II General] crypticc:
First post. Use insecure to rout then over the top with the kernel you want to run with
[Galaxy S II General] tids2k:
Use insecure kernel for kf1 and then after flashing use stock kf2 kernel. This way root is preserved.
[Galaxy S II General] OHDUSER:
any chance of getting a rom with HEBREW languange?

=/

I'm talking about UI ofcourse, if that is possobile.. I know there is a KE2 rom with hebrew.. but I wish there was a way to achieve it..
[Galaxy S II General] mrvirginia:
not sure what firmware my device was running when i first got it, but Kies updated my phone to the XXKE4 firm shortly after. i then used Odin to flash KF4 and it seemed as though my phone was draining the battery a little more. music hub was gone, and i've read about the XT9 not working or whatever so i just went back to my KE4. will prob stick with what Kies updates me to from now on tbh.

still a very nice thread though so i'll keep an eye on it :)
[Galaxy S II General] cdd543:
I like kf2. Seems to be sipping battery too.
[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:
Im using this,Seems to be running well.

[Galaxy S II General] vassalle:
Hi, I'm on kf4 right now and t9 dialer doesn't work.

Does it work on the kf2? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:
Yes it seems to work on KF2 hope this helps
[Galaxy S II General] vassalle:
Great thanks. Will give kf2 a run later.
[Galaxy S II General] armanisafarai:
what is csc? language? coz i cant find norwegian language for swype and normal keyboard. :S:S

I'm on villainrom 1.4 btw

EDIT: jusat saw this :

CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.

so why can't i get norwegian language for my keyboard?
[Galaxy S II General] shanume:
because Villainrom 1.4 is not a nordic base version! thats why u dont have nordic keyboard on it.. u need a CSC for NEE(nordic)
[Galaxy S II General] mbushnaq00:
please i need CSC: I9100OJVKE1 from where can I get it?

i need someone to help me by telling from where i can get csc for Australia ? i am totally confused, thanks
[Galaxy S II General] jvidia:

is an oficial one? will the counter move?

And is this version OK for use im Portugal ?

I actually use this official one:
[Galaxy S II General] painterceessie:

For the csc you must wait for intratech.

Dear guys,

guys, I'm totally new to the Samsung dept. (yet I'm switching from HTC Desire with the use of custom roms), I'm currently using

I would like to know if I rooted my GS2 yet using stock rom, (really wanna use SetCPU and Titanium Backup), would I be able to update when official 2.3.4 is out with Kies? or I have to wait until someone extract 2.3.4 and do the update manually through recovery mode or Odin(I believe)?

thx
[Galaxy S II General] tamas970:
Is is possible to boot and flash from microSD? (Maybe with the help of a JIG?) It would be a great help in case the bootloader is corrupt.

Frankenstein Firmwares

currently on PDA ke7 Phone KE4 with kd1 (xeu)

i want to flash with kf2 Frankenstein Firmware do i just flash the PDA with Odin or do i flash the Phone and CSC .tar files as well?

Sorry if its a dumb question or been answered before.
[Galaxy S II General] painterceessie:
Don't be sorry.

Everyone must learn how to do it,just like me.

You must flash the three files in odin.

Cheers;)
[Galaxy S II General] stev00:
Thank you ;-) at once or individually? I'm guessing at once?
[Galaxy S II General] painterceessie:
at once.

do not use re-partition.

this wipe your data.
[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:
If they are 3 seperate files add each in Phone, PDA, and CSC. at the same time, if its one combined file add the one in PDA... then press start...

Do not Re-partition or it will wipe files
[Galaxy S II General] mbushnaq00:

[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:
Jerky ??? to me its as smooth as silk def the best so far, battery is better 2... home button seems to be getting quicker also.
[Galaxy S II General] armanisafarai:
but i downloaded that multi csc from first page and that included NEE. I flashed it via Odin but still no norwegian.
[Galaxy S II General] mbushnaq00:
Unfortunatly I have already check there and I couldnt find it, do u have any other source?
[Galaxy S II General] DelLoce:
I really don't understand why the h*** we dont' get any firmware-updates here in Denmark.. Kies still says KE2 is the newest firmware..

I know I could "just" flash one of the files posted here - but I really need the Danish keyboard (especially Swype :) )

Sluggish voice talk in KF2

"Voice Talk" has become very sluggish since I flashed to KF2. Slow response if any at all and doesn't recognize half of what it used to on KF1. Can anyone conform?
[Galaxy S II General] cdd543:
This is my favorite yet. Super smooth and very good battery.
[Galaxy S II General] geekaren:
I am on KF2 and "Voice Talk" is working ok for me.

Other KF2 observations: Speedy, no lag when clicking home screen button (or when clearing lock screen). Impressive battery life!
[Galaxy S II General] painterceessie:
You can ask it later this evening when sir intratech is at home.

Perhaps he can help you.
[Galaxy S II General] painterceessie:
Better battery indeed.:)
[Galaxy S II General] otacon888:

[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Is that on the screen even when you open apps? Like a permanent line?
[Galaxy S II General] bobbysixkiller:

[Galaxy S II General] markmcg:
Yes permanent line.
[Galaxy S II General] iOStoAndroid:
Great stuff guys. Followed instructions as per page 1 and it just works!

Now if only the battery life could get better
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Can you try a different USB port and if you have any antivirus/firewall application just disable then for a few minutes and see if that works.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Can you try flashing to another firmware to see if that removes it? I'm hoping it's not a hardware defect, if it is the phone is covered under the warranty.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Updated first post with links to O2 UK XWKE2 version.
[Galaxy S II General] markmcg:
will reflashing fix screen?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I have no idea bro but my thinking is since flashing broke it maybe flashing will fix it. Don't use the O2 version unless your phone is O2 branded phone.
[Galaxy S II General] otester:
Updated to XWKE2 + re-root, no issues so far, thanks again!
[Galaxy S II General] jonrwg:
Hi,

Is the password for KE2 kernel correct? I key it in and it say wrong password. Help?
[Galaxy S II General] bobbysixkiller:
my phone is now buggered

i can't turn it on, it just comes up with a picture of a phone and a dotted line going to a pc........

dunno why i bothered!

anyone know how to fix?
[Galaxy S II General] woggle:
i have just updated to the o2 firmware and cant seem to get back into download mode ?

EDIT: managed to get into download mode think i was pressing to hard on the volume key causing it to press both up and down! Phew.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It's just a bad flash, did you unplug the cable or power it off before the flash completed?

Just put the phone into download mode and flash again, maybe redownload the rom.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It is. Dunno what you're not doing right. Maybe type it in manually.
[Galaxy S II General] markmcg:
I flashed it with the XWKE2 Generic XEU Rom but white line still there.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I think it's time to return the phone for an exchange. Just tell them it happened after doing a KIES update. I assume you haven't rooted the phone.
[Galaxy S II General] jonrwg:
Never mind, sorted it out for the password.

Now, i'm stuck at "FACTORYFS". Not moving, is this normal?
[Galaxy S II General] sumeshd:
@intratech..

Thank you sir for indian CSC..
[Galaxy S II General] stev00:
how very strange, perhaps i should try it again for a bit longer...
[Galaxy S II General] nightranger73:
For unbranded XEU last official firmware is still KE7 while for UK O2 branded phone last is still KE2 so don't worry it will come.

The firmware you see here were intended for certain country only thus having not all languages or missing premium apps like music hub... I come from sgs1 and I know how often Samsung releases those firmwares and that's why I usually stick to official ones unless big changes are coming (i.e. 2.3.4) because otherwise you don't even have time to test them deeply

Yes, I believe this normal -- it's been my experience with Kies.

Wow im using that 2 haven't really used it that much, but it seems a lot better than when i was on KE7.
[Galaxy S II General] buzmay:
But should kies update it? Or how does it work? Is my firmwire old? Or is it kies that is not working properly? Is that message of not being able to update the firmware normal? i.e. Kies is telling "the version of the device cannot be updated", or is it something wrong with my device's firmwire?

I am sorry but post 1589 says nothing about it. Maybe you meant about the post saying that most of the firmwires here are to flash with odin??

I am aware of that, but I read that in order to get still updates via kies, I should have flashed XWKE2 with the generic nordic, but even doing this Kies does not let me update. I am only wondering if Kies by telling me "the version of the device cannot be updated" is because there is something wrong with my device, or is this normal and I should wait for kies to one day find an update?
