I was just wondering about this super brick bug in newer kernels. is there any specific reason for samsung to have done something like this?

bricking people's phones out of spite is just unethical, and if this is what samsung want, then they deserve to be screwed by apple.

Anyway, whats the best way to root a 4.0.4 phone keeping the stock kernel? flashing a CWM6 Recvoery through stock and busy box after that should be enough right? no risk of a super brick?

Chainfire's Triangle is no doubt a spectacular app, but does it reset the binary counter?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Yes for the question about TriangleAway app. Works fine on 4.0.4 ROMs.

For rooting have a look here => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28178105

P.S.:

I recommend to flash a pre-rooted stock ROM from here => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1608071. No incremented flash counter, no yellow triangle and a rooted stock firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] ggero:
Dont know the stock firmware

I need some help guys ! .. I bought a used S2 device and had the omega rom installed .. The device was bought at France .. Now I want to sell this device but I dont know whats the original rom (for warranty reasons) .. With omega rom, the csc of the device was KOR ... I changed to EUR and installed an official EUR rom ..

I guess that because the device has different csc now (french device) is out of warranty ... Can you help me ?

This is what I have now...

IML74K.XWLP7

KERNEL: 3.0.15-I9100XWLP7-CL340913 DPI@DELL134 #3

I9100XXLPS

PDA: I9100XWLP7

[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
You can use Check Fus Downloader (=> http://fus.nanzen.se/) to check for the latest offically released firmware and download it directly from Samsung servers.

Then flash it like described in the first post with Odin.

Good luck !

P.S.:

Latest firmware for France unbranded is XWLPW ATM.
[Galaxy S II General] ggero:
Thanks for your reply :)

I think that the original csc (KOR) is UK .. so I installed the last official UK rom .. Now the csc changed to XEU and connecting with Kies nicely ... Also the device checks for updates smoothly ... I guess that I have not problem with the warranty isnt it ??
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Don't mix up the CSC codes:

EUR = Greece unbranded

XEU = UK/Ireland unbranded

KOR = generic code ???

If Kies recognizes your phone and provides firmware updates, everything is fine.

For warranty you should check your flash counter.

Boot into download mode (press Volume Down + Home + Power key until download screen appears, then continue with Volume UP and check flash counter state) ... should be "NO".
[Galaxy S II General] ggero:
I checked it :) .. It says no .. I had reset it

Thanks again ... I thought that changing the csc (even if you install official firmware) you are out of warranty ....
[Galaxy S II General] rozel:
Hi

Hope someone can help me :)

I am running a Stock NORDIC firmware - 4.0.3 LPX and basically, I would now like to upgrade to a UK Stock unbranded 4.0.4 version (I live in the UK).

I believe I need version LPY. Hopefully by doing this I will be able to install future upgrades via Kies ? By going to my present Nordic firmware, this has knocked out Kies which was ok at the time, but I now want to get ready for JB. Not interested in rooting or doing anything to my stock kernal just a firmware please - the UK LPY firmware - I just do not know where to look.

Thank you
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Use Check Fus Downloader (=> http://fus.nanzen.se/) to check for the latest officially released firmware for your phone in your region/country and download it directly from Samsung servers.

Extract the downloaded zip file and flash the tar/md5 file in PDA section of Odin.

If everything goes fine, OTA updater and Kies will recognize your phone again.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II General] -Grift-:
Little spoon feeding but this should be it ? http://www.hotfile.com/dl/165074083/1e61f36/I9100XWLPT_I9100XEULPA_XEU.zip.html
[Galaxy S II General] rozel:
Hi guys and thanks. I was called away on business just after posting and it's only now I am back at my PC :)

Yes I know about CheckFus - I used it to download my current Nordic firmware. However it has knocked out Kies and I want a current 4.0.4 Stock Firmware which hopefully Kies will recognise so that when Jelly Bean Arrives, I will be able to update via that method.

CheckFus doesn't really give me what I am looking for as it is going with the major air-time providers for the UK.

-Grift - I think I may try that but could someone please answer a couple more questions before I go for it: -

1. My phone was originally supplied by CarPhoneWarehouse and so was the original firmware. By installing this XEU firmware will it be recognised by Kies after installing via ODIN?

2. Is there a 4.0.4 CPW firmware out there which may better suit my phone or is the XEU one a better option?

3. Do I have to do anything different to avoid the "Bricking" issues I have read about?

Many thanks once more
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
1. Yes.

2. No, there might be a CPW branded version, but it won't suit better than the unbranded XEU version IMO.

3. As you are on Android 4.0.3 now, no. If you want to wipe (data = factory reset), then wipe before flashing Android 4.0.4. You should be cautious when wiping (or restoring a nandroid backup) in CWM recovery on Android 4.0.4 on an insane EMMC chip. Chainfire provides an app to check if your hone has a sane or insane chip. And I recommend only to wipe when it is really needed. And if it is needed and you are on Android 4.0.4, then flash a "safe" kernel, such as latest SpeedMod or SiyahKernel first.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II General] rozel:
Nice one! :) :) :)

Just what I needed to know. I will not be wiping

Many thanks again - much appreciated.

[Galaxy S II General] rozel:
Since I flashed the XEU firware Kies still says it doesn't support my phone and informs me that a CPW firmware (LQ6) is installed! It is definately reported as LPT in my phone's settings, so I know I installed the correct firmware!

Would uninstalling and re-installing Kies help? I say this because I plugged in my wife's S2 a month or so ago to see if hers needed updating and wonder if the software is getting confused?

Any thoughts please?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Please dial *#1234# into your phone and report back what firmware version is displayed on your screen.

PDA, Phone/Modem and CSC is important.

Maybe the modem was not flashed successfully.
[Galaxy S II General] rozel:
ok thank you - the details are: -

PDA : I9100XWLPT

PHONE : I9100XXLQ6

CSC : I9100XEULPA

Build Info : Fri Jul 27 17:41:49 KST 2012

Hope this fathoms a way around my issue
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Ok, this is the correct, official stock UK/Ireland unbranded firmware.

And you are running on the stock kernel (unrooted)?!

Ok, then ty to un-install and re-install Kies on your PC.

Maybe Kies is caching some "old" information.
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
And perhaps dial the *# sequence to check / set the *active* CSC? I'm not sure if it's relevant but I think so since it changes your product code.
[Galaxy S II General] rozel:
I am not sure what you mean here
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Yes, it is the code to select/switch/change the CSC in a MultiCSC.

But if do not have a MultiCSC, this will only show "XEU" IMO.
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
My mistake.

The last CSC I flashed was a MultiCSC but for some reason if I dial #*272*imei# it shows that I have an unknown active option.

But *#1234# also shows CSC=unknown so that's not a problem in this situation.
[Galaxy S II General] rozel:
I am more confused now :) As far as I know my phone only has 1 CSC but how can I tell for sure? Please tell me what to type to find this out please.

Anyways, I have uninstalled Kies and reinstalled it and it still says "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies", which was the whole point of flashing a Stock firmware :(

I have never wiped my phone and really do not want to - is there any other way to resolve this please?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Usually, you have only a single CSC on your phone.

But there are also some MultiCSCs available.

To check, just dial *#272*Device IMEI# (enter your phone IMEI after the "*#272*" followed by a "#") into your phone.

If a list of different CSCs is shown, you have a MultiCSC and can switch to another CSC without flashing a new CSC.

But be cautious, as switching the CSC in a MultiCSC wipes data (factory reset).

If there is only "unkown" or one CSC shown, then you have only a single CSC.

And quite sure that you have a single CSC => "XEU" ... from what you posted here already.

And that should be fine IMO.
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
There's another possible reason, perhaps.

In addition to PDA, CSC and Phone versions, the product code (not shown with *#1234#) is also used as the key to find out if that combination has any newer ROM.

You can check that on CheckFusDownloader - after selecting one of the options (say, Nordic Countries), if you then change the Product Code to another one, it will no longer be a valid combination that shows available updates.

Even if not displaying it, Kies is surely also using the Product Code to check for possible updates, even if only in the future.

I don't know how to check what the current Product Code is (it might have been changed in the past if you ever dialed the CSC switching sequence), but I think it was somewhere on a small file. Can't find it now, though.
[Galaxy S II General] rozel:
I am even more confused - I cannot get SkyGo to work - reason; I was rooted (Chainfire) on GB but didn't wipe when upgrading to ICS. This has left traces of the root, which SkyGo detects.

When I upgraded to ICS I used Kies which unrooted my phone. It was an early release which caused overheating/battery issues.

I then used CheckFus to download a "Stock" Nordic 4.0.4. version of ICS, flashed using Odin, since when I have had no issues - still unrooted.

I have never wiped my phone.

Would like to use Kies from now on to update my phone but do not want to wipe.

Any more thoughts?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Just another guess:

Maybe there is still superuser app somewhere on your sd card.

Normally, it is installed in system folder, and system is overwritten by flashing a new kernel/ROM.

But if superuser app was installed in data folder too, this might still be there as you haven't wiped data (factory reset).

Try to find superuser (or SU) app on your sd card and delete it.

If that doesn't work, have you already wiped cache in recovery?

Maybe something is still cached.

If that doesn't work either, try to flash the whole stock ROM again to your phone.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S II General] rozel:
Thank you for your continued support - it is much appreciated :) :) :)

I have spent some time this morning messing about. I have done everything that has been suggested - using root explorer, I have deleted everything I can find in my phone regarding rooting - eg Superuser, Titanium Backup CWM etc etc. I have wiped the cache and reinstalled the Stock Firmware: - I9100XWLPT_I9100XXLQ6_I9100XEULPA_HOME.tar.md5.

Still Kies says it doesn't support my phone.

pressing *#272*Device IMEI# brings up a screen headed "Preconfig"

It shows a "Sales Code" - CPW

With an option at the foot of the screen "Install / Cancel"

Obviously I chose "Cancel".

Kies shows: -

Current firmware version : PDA:LPT / Phone:LQ6 / CSC:LPA (CPW)

*#1234# shows PDA : I9100XWLPT / Phone : I9100XXLQ6 / CSC : I9100XEULPA

So in Kies the CSC, reported to exist, doesn't tally with what seems to be installed on my phone.

As I have already mentioned, my phone was acquired from CarPhoneWarehouse (CPW).

I would like to get to the bottom of this without "Wiping" my phone and, with a little bit of luck, get my SkyGo app working also. Basically this app sees my phone as still rooted, which it is not now.

Would appreciate some more help please :)

Edit.....................

Haha! My SkyGo app now works perfectly hehe:) Either wiping the cache or deleting some apps has sorted this. Would like Kies now to support my phone if poss :)
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Good that SkyGo app works fine now.

About Kies ... try to un-install and re-install Kies on your PC.

If that does not help, the CSC seems to be still branded/CPW version ... maybe it coul dnot be applied correctly after flashing the ROM.

Try to flash the whole ROM again.

If that does not help either, I can only think of one other method before wipe data (factory reset):

1. Root your phone.

2. Install Mobile Odin app

3. Select only Cache and Hidden part (which is CSC) from the ROM file and flash it to your phone.

4. Reboot normally and unroot the phone again.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II General] rozel:
According to my phone the CSC is correct - it is Kies that is reporting it incorrectly - I am not too familiar with all this but if a screen pops up as I have already described asking if you want to install a CPW CSC, then obviously that CSC is not installed - correct? I installed XEU firmware so the CSC is XEU too.

Already uninstalled and reinstalled Kies twice - it is Kies which is bad me thinks

Already flashed the ROM twice

1. - 4. Really do not want to do this

Anyone else please? I do not understand the relationship between the CSC (I mean what is this?) and the Firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] lottumeb:
Hello, i am from the Netherlands and have stock firmware IMM76D.XWLPW

I don't see this one in your list, and i would like to know what stock kernel it needs.

Unfortunatly i did not wright it down when i flashed siyah v7.12 kernel, and now i get the yellow triangle.

I'm afraid to use triangle away because of brick risc, or is it not that big of a risc?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
If it is stock XWLPW ROM then you are looking for XWLPW stock kernel. If you only have the ROM file, you can use Mobile Odin app to flash only the kernel part of that ROM file.

But to remove the yellow triangle and reset the flash counter, just use TriangleAway app.

I used it several times and never had any issue.

There is a potential risk of bricking when interupted during write operation ... but that risk is the same for flashing a new ROM/kernel.

God luck !

---------- Post added at 04:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

CSC = Customer Sales Code, contains usually some apps and/or media files for specific carrier and/or country

Just another guess:

Have you already tried to connect your phone to another PC?

Maybe Kies has something saved on your PC which is persistent even after un-installing and re-installing.
[Galaxy S II General] rozel:
I have just installed Kies on my netbook and it is giving me the same message as on my PC. So it seems it is a problem on my phone after all
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Ok, my last guess :cyclops::

Check your build.prop in /data/.

Do you find anything about CPW?

If yes, post this entry here and maybe we can arrange to manually change the value in build.prop file for Kies to recognize your phone again :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S II General] rozel:
No there is nothing about CPW in there :(
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Ok, my very last guess:

Have a look here for flashing different modems/RILs => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1881304

Maybe one of the modem/RIL files were not changed properly.

Try XXLQ6 (for Android 4.0.4) first.

If that does not work, try another one for Android 4.0.4 next.

Good luck !

[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
If you are on ICS, then use TriangleAway app (=> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1494114&highlight=triangleaway) to remove the yellow triangle (and reset the counter).

No need for the USB Jig, which need the old GB bootloader to work properly.

I am currently using ICS (about a month now), and the triangle has never been back on my phone.

CSC problems

Just installed 4.1.2 official rom and now I can't connect to Kies to restore my backup :(. My research is pointing to my CSC being messed up and I am unable to fix it. Does it matter which firmware version a CSC file comes from? I've tried a couple of different apps from the google play store and they don't work. Trying to run the USSC code returns an "unknown application" error.

CSC Select says "com.android.Preconfig not found on your device. Manual..." CSC Select as root doesn't show anything but Sales Code and an empty box. A keyboard never comes up for me to type in a code...

I'm assuming I need to install a multi CSC file using ODIN... or at this point I hope that will fix me.
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
I had the same problem and recently found a way to make it connect.

The info on the logcat was this one:

E/DataRouter( 1911): Connection Information Request
E/DataRouter( 1911): [DEVCONINFO]MN(GT-I9100);(len:13)
E/DataRouter( 1911): [DEVCONINFO]BASE(GT-I9100);(len:15)

E/DataRouter( 1911): [DEVCONINFO]++++++
[COLOR="Red"]E/DataRouter( 1911): [DEVCONINFO] ril.official_cscver (len:0)[/COLOR]

If you set ril.official_cscver to a value, Kies will connect successfully. It won't show valid data on the "Firmware information" part but at least you'll be able to synchronize and backup/restore.

Just run this (will be gone after a restart):

adb shell setprop ril.official_cscver I9100OXXLPD
[Galaxy S II General] urherenow:
Thanks a bunch! I'm at work but I'm sure it will work for the restore.

I do want to do a permanent fix though. The rom I downloaded was a .tar.md5 file from sammobile and I used ODIN to flash it. Would the problem be fixed if it was flashed a different way? Can Kies be forced to flash that particular file?

I think I'll try a stand-alone multi-CSC file first.
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
For a proper fix, you'll need to apply a valid CSC, which

will erase all your data including the internal sdcard contents

.

- flash the appropriate (single or multi) CSC package

- dial: *#272*...your IMEI here...#

- select the CSC you want and press Apply/OK. This will wipe all your data.

For a not so radical solution, you might want to create an init.d script (if you are using a kernel that supports it). That script would run on every boot and therefore leave you with a valid state for kies to connect.
