Hey thanks for your replies! Much appreciated.

I actually don't understand the differences between various firmware types e.g. OJV vs OJP. Could anyone tell me (short description) or point me to a place where I can get some info on this?

Also, I was reading that Samsung is developing 2.3.4 for Galaxy SII (leaked beta) and is going to release it soon. Will that update contain a newer firmware for the device as well or just update to Android OS?

Thanks millions!

Arabic support for 2.3.4

I used the original rom (1st page) from this thread to add arabic support to my SGS2 when it ran 2.3.3 Upgrading to 2.3.4 lost me the arabic langauge support.

Does anyone know of the alternative i.e. arabic support rom that is based on 2.3.4? :D

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Ah, you have a Bahrain device. In that case you have the latest firmware for that device. The CSC part of the firmware, if you read the first post, contains regional settings and software for the device.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Just a heads up looks like official 2.3.4 starting its rollout .

KG5 over Kies .

if my firmware is

PDA::KE4

PHONE: KE1

CSC: KE4 (SFR)

What do i need to choose from the list above ?

After I root the device and unlock it can i simply flash a custom or any rom on the device without loosing the root and unlock ?

thanks,.
[Galaxy S II General] kamranki:
Thanks for guiding me ... even though I still don't get most of it! :D

Simple question: Will ANY firmware work with my device? Or does it need to match specific OJVC or WKE2 or etc. etc. strings?

For example: installing a firmware from a different region on my device will cause it to explode / melt / evaporate?
[Galaxy S II General] predatorftp:
I just asked this question, and the answer is yes, you can flash any firmware you want as long as the modem is compatible with the version you are flashing.

hope this helps.
[Galaxy S II General] dazza_84:
No?? Should i??

KG5 on samfw

edit: 2.3.4
[Galaxy S II General] Cladon:
Yes, you should do a full reset after reverting to 2.3.3!Since there is a cache memory of the previous firmware stored in the device, you will have to clear it,which can be done by performing the full reset by dialing the short code *2767*3855# and then you will see that all the cache is cleared successfully. To check that version has been successfully updated or not you will have to type in the code *#1234#.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Carrier firmware are in another thread. If you want generic then use the XEF firmware. You won't loose the unlock but you need to root the device everytime you flash a firmware unless it's a custom ROM that comes rooted out of the box

As long as it's a GT-I9100 firmware then you can flash any one of them to your device

Well that would be the point, after flashing back to the 2.3.3 firmware you do a hard reset to get rid of all the 2.3.4 stuff.:)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I'm not sure I want to release this firmware on here because whilst it's official it appears to be buggy when flashed to these non Chinese device and the device does get very warm. I wouldn't want to be responsible for people's phone dying.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Ok, after playing around I've decided this firmware will not be released in this thread. I does make the device warm and reboots randomly. I've had to flash back to my own firmware.

I'll upload a Polish Orange firmware instead.:)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:

[Galaxy S II General] KULASSE:

[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
???:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] KULASSE:
The language French is available? 2.3.4 ZNKG5.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Oh, right. It had English and some Asian languages judging by the characters. I can't recall seeing French and I've already removed all trace of that firmware from the device already.
[Galaxy S II General] dazza_84:
Thank youuuuu, done hard reset after flashin firmware now back to 2.3.3 :-) must remember to do that in future.

Is it neccesary to do hard reset after every flash??
[Galaxy S II General] dazza_84:
Cheers mate, done now back to 2.3.3 ;-)

I'm not going to release anything for that firmware mate, I'd rather not be responsible for any damaged device. Sorry.

I9100XXKG1 is working like a charm in my SGSII since it was leaked. The most important thing is the battery life. Its amazing!!! Never had such life in before roms. Waiting for 2.3.4 OFFICIAL.
[Galaxy S II General] dryspuri:
hello @intratech KG5 is out is it proper 2.3.4

Read the previous page and the thread in the General forum.
[Galaxy S II General] dryspuri:
ok got it,

Just a curiosity how do u do remove all the traces of old firmware do u do hard reset before & after or select certain options on odin like reformat or something!!
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Not always but sometimes when you're going back to an older firmware from times to time there are some incompatibilities that cause FC'ing and reboots.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Hard reset after flashing the firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] ParthG:

Hi Intratech,

Thank you very much for your excellent super fast service and fabulous support.

Best regards.
[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
Also posted this on the cognition thread, sure Intratech and others can help - is there a recommended CSC package that's compatible with XXKG1 which can get my nordic keyboard back? Bit of a *****, don't want to start flashing 2.3.3 stuff is there's a chance I'll FUBAR cognition:o

Edit - or do I have to extract an apk or 2 from other ROMS? Any help appreciated, can't search properly because of insomniac baby..

Many thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Wow, people are still saying that flashing CSC will add language support to the firmware? If the base firmware doesn't support the language and keyboard layout you cannot add it by flashing a CSC package. You can try adding Gingerbread keyboard from the market, it's free and has Nordic language support.
[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
Sorry, I am not and should not be so dumb and nooblike - I did actally know this deep down somewhere, but it's hard to think straight with 130 dB screaming... time to get his mum home from girly night...

Will try gingerbread keyboard.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
No I didn't mean you. I mean in some ROM thread people are advising people to flash CSC package to add language support. It's ok asking questions, that how we learn.
[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
I saw that in the FAQ in the VillainROM - 700+ pages is beyond me to see if there was a solution.. anyhow, 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 aren't going to play nicely, I'm sure the FAQ was referring to pulsar's 2.3.3 ROMs.

Trying Better keyboard. OK, but I do prefer the stock TBH.

F*** it, they all speak English here anyway. Or think that they do;)
[Galaxy S II General] brenopapito:
release XXKG2 official !
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
When it's official I will, what I have now is not the official package.
[Galaxy S II General] ad_insane:
Hello Intratech,

Can you please share KG2 kernel?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II General] :
@IntraTech could you extract the kernel so we can reflash it after rooting.

Or how can I get it out of the rom?

Or should we use KERNEL_I9100XXKG2_CL375027_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5 to reflash stock kernel?

EDIT: just tried it, rooted with KG1 CF-Root, reboot, power off, download mode and flashed the kernel in the package, works like a charm
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Gimme 4 minutes and I'll release my non-wipe package and kernel.:)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Ok, there you go. XXKG2 Polish firmware and kernel now available.

I flashed GT-I9100_I9100XXKG2_I9100OXAKG2_I9100XXKG2

PDA:I9100XXKG2

PHONE: I91000XXKG2

CSC: UNKNOWN

Curious to know why CSC is marked as unknown?
[Galaxy S II General] total360:
Have you previously used the XEU CSC?! If so reflash the CSC part using the XEU from a frankenstein firmware. Works fine. :-)
[Galaxy S II General] ManMOuntain:
Yes, thanks for that :)

Unfortunately, due to me being a complete muppet (poor excuse, but its 2am :) ), I used the CSC from I9100XXKG1 (GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKG1) which wiped my phone. CWM to the rescue and all good again.
[Galaxy S II General] gunigugu:
Sorry noob question coming up.. but whats the best way to root this new KG2 release? as in which kernel from CF should we use?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
There isn't a CF-Root kernel version for this firmware as yet. I use the old fashion method flashing the insecure KDD kernel and rooting the device with SuperOneClick and then flashing back the stock XXKG2 kernel to remove the yellow triangle.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
XWKF1 for Singapore and I think Malaysia now available.
[Galaxy S II General] azulgranas:
@Intratech

I 've just updated my phone from XXKG1 (leaked in samfirmware) to XXKG2 (Poland) in your thread.

But unfortunately, My phone did a wipe data and maybe cache. So that i've lost all my data. Does this update to XXKG2 require wiping data?
[Galaxy S II General] Cladon:
Firmware XXKG2 is on Android 2.3.4 and is it official ? Does it worth flashing from XXKF2 ?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S II General] total360:
You must of done something wrong. I did exactly the same and kept my data. If you got I've from Samfirmware it may of been a wipe version.
[Galaxy S II General] juliano76:
Yes, please, let us know does it worth flashing from XXKF2 having in mind that I'm quite happy with this firmware
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
All I can say is that personally I'm keeping my device on XXKG2 firmware. To date it's the best so far.
[Galaxy S II General] Cladon:
Is it an official 2.3.4 version?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I've been told what I was given is what would be released on Kies so it would appear to be official.
[Galaxy S II General] azulgranas:
Which rom did you use before updating to KG2?

I think maybe becase of previous rom i had used is the rom leaked on samfirmware ( unofficial), so that when i update to this Kg2 rom, it automatically does the wipe data ( I didn't tick re-partion).

And another trying time, i tick re-partion and odin said "failed" and i can't do anything but hard shutdown by power button.

Can anyone help me understand the reason why so?
[Galaxy S II General] rikz112:
hi quick question i have official stock kf3 2.3.3 if i upgrade to the new kg2 software which sounds official from what i am reading will i then be on 2.3.4? and will this wipe my device???

this forum is great intratech ur a DON..love how quickly you reply to people on the forum...doing a great job
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I really don't know how many times I must post that you should use .PIT file and repartition the device unless you screwed up the partition table. Low packages will wipe your device.
[Galaxy S II General] Cladon:
Yes, you'll be on 2.3.4 version after flashing XXKG2! It won't wipe your device if flashed correctly!
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
The version I have is non-wipe and will update your device to 2.3.4. Darkys version is wipe version and it will also update your device.
[Galaxy S II General] rikz112:
Thats fine so the official kg2 in the first post of this thread is the one i was planning on using this is your version which does not wipe right intratech?? i am not rely a ROM fan so only been using official stock firmwares and then rooting to freeze apps i do not wish to use
[Galaxy S II General] sicopat:
Yes but is it 2.3.4 or 2.3.3 ?

Edit : 2.3.4

Got the answer just above

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] rikz112:
have people been seeing good battery life qwith kg2 2.3.4?? the battery life on kf3 is quite good dont want to update and it make that any worse
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
This one is non-wipe.

updated India CSC package ODDKF3 now available in the Frankenstein™ section.:)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Too soon to really comment bro.
[Galaxy S II General] prepo1:
At samfirmware is writted this: MULTI - CSC - OXAKG2

So version OXA is only for POLAND or is it multiCSC?

because here intratech writted :

can somebody open preconfig menu with dial #272*imei# , and look for if it is realy multi CSC, or witch SALES CODES is available in this version, thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] azulgranas:
Thank you for your quick response. Sorry for asking more questions.

So if i've ever used .PIT file or tick re-patition (actually i've done some times).

Did it make anything harmful to my device?

And how could i go back to the time before i used PIT file or repartition.
[Galaxy S II General] Manafa:
I did it with non-wipe rom, but now I have CSC:Unkown. I was with KG1 before flashing. Which csc I need to flash now, without wipe my phone?
[Galaxy S II General] thekit:
Finally I can post here :D

This post made me love my galaxy S2 even more (new things everyday).. thanks so much Intratech :)

btw, I discovered when I flashed to PDA:ZSKG2 PHONE: XXKG1.. the battery seems better however the ability to change fonts is gone! (its gone from setting > display) did i do something wrong? :confused:

Then i flashed it back to PDA:JPKG2 PHONE: XXKF1 and now i can change the phone fonts again

oh well, but i dont care anymore as i will flash it to XXKG2 today!

having so much fun with my GS2. thanks again! :D
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It doesn't really matter but look for one from the first post that matches your original CSC for the device.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
No harm really but it does increase the change of things getting fubar'ed
[Galaxy S II General] shaydroid:
i've installed stock XXKG2 now i can't go into recovery? it is asking for a password...
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Once again, it's whatever you set your pin unlock screen as.
[Galaxy S II General] Drakx:
You will need the download jig there are threads about it if you dont fancy making one you can get them off ebay
[Galaxy S II General] HereAsWell:
Does the XXKG2 ROM (with CSC OXA) have some kind of light branding (i.e. a different boot animation)? Or is it complety stock?

I had this last time as I was not patient enough to wait and did a flash of the XWKF3 with the CSC from Kazakhstan or something... I hate it ;)
[Galaxy S II General] atb1o1:
the CSC for the posted XXKG2 is OXA. Will you be releasing a frankenstein version of XXKG2 with XEU CSC?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Ok, I'll do that since a number of people are inquiring. :)
[Galaxy S II General] bsb1:

Perhaps cause this is stock android and not a samsung rom. :D:D:D
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Look in the first post under the Frankenstein™ section for Generic XSAKE3 CSC.:)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Just open Kies. It's the new behaviour it seems, doesn't have the MTP application screen anymore just a notification saying USB Connected but if you start Kies it connects to the device. :)

Hi Just download last XXKG2 firmware from first post (OXA)

I didn't find any CSC files in Cache.img.

Is there any CSC with this firmware ?

Thanks

didn't find the Darkyy files :

GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKG2.tar.md5
[Galaxy S II General] sdoc96:
Probably a simple fix, but I thought I should ask, JIC.

Flashed GT-I9100_OXA_I9100_XXKG2_I9100OXAKG2_I9100XXKG2.tar via Odin as per guide, from XWKF3 DBT.

Rebooted and got:

--Applying Multi-CSC...

Installing Multi-CSC

Can't access to '/system/csc/DBT/system/'.

Successfully applied multi-CSC.

Selected 'reboot system now' and now no network access.

Searched around for the 'cant access' message but no simple fix as far as I could see, such as this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1072062

So sorry for the noob question. I hate being this type of person...:confused:

[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It appears the OXAKG2 CSC in this firmware came with a wipe data in the command so someone who give me access to the files removed it from the package to make it non-wipe. You can get the CSC's from Darky's version in his thread.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It connected on mine. Ensure you don't have usb debugging enabled.
[Galaxy S II General] sicopat:
Ok, thanks for the answer.

so When we flash your KG2 firmware, we won't update our CSC ?
[Galaxy S II General] :
hey guys, messed things up quite a bit here... newbie errors!

I managed to flash and root the ROM, after doing a full wipe. I then restored my apps with titanium backup pro, spent hours to reorganize them in folders and pages...

now I see that in the MARKET app, under "my apps", there are only a bunch of the installed ones, and many are missing. rebooted three times, no change. any help would be much appreciated...will this bug prevent me from getting updates??

thank you a lot!
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Exactly. If you want you can flash a CSC package from the first post after flashing the firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Go to settings > Applications >Manage applications > All > Market

Tap on force stop and then clear data. Restart the market and check again.:)
[Galaxy S II General] :
thank you for you very quick advice!

it didn't work though, same bunch of apps as before :(

EDIT: I see the same apps on market.android.com.. but if I go to the page of an actually installed app which is not showing up in the list, it displays "INSTALLED"

EDIT 2: I uninstalled a random app (twitter), reinstalled it from the market, and all my apps are back again on the device. not on the website though...
[Galaxy S II General] sicopat:
Or i can use your frankenstein build :

:D
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Try it again then reboot to recovery and wipe cache partition and reboot the device. I can't remember exactly how I fixed this when it happened to me but it was something along these lines. Make sure you force stop the market, wait for it to stop, and then clear data.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
That too. :D:D
[Galaxy S II General] :
guys, another question....

xt9 doesn't seem to work (italian language). It is enabled in the keyboard options, but it doesn't show up.

FYI, I flashed the OXA G2 ROM over the XEU KF3...is there some relationship with my problem?

thank you everybody
[Galaxy S II General] serch826:
I´m confuse have flashed the KG2 OXA every things is ok, but now "CSC UNKNOWN" how can i fix the "CSC"?

Wich CSC to download? i´m in Sweden

Thanks for help
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
NEE is in the multiCSC package in Frankenstein section.
[Galaxy S II General] serch826:
This one: MultiCSC OXXKF1: http://www.multiupload.com/SOIZV54480 ?

Done, Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
Not sure if you fixed it but under titanium backup use market doctor to repair any broken market links

If that does not work then in future use app list backup to make a backup of all app links to the market place that way you can quickly install all of them back and then use titanium backup to do the rest.
[Galaxy S II General] serch826:
Thanks again
[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:
Hi Intratech.. which one do you recommend this version or the one you downloaded earlier ????

(Don't forget in my eyes you are GOD and in GOD we trust)
[Galaxy S II General] fajn.snek:
Stupid question, so please dont kill me :)

I have official poland version of KF2 with Product code XEO (i hope it is right Product code).

So will be this FW avaliable via Kies ? THX for answers and please dont to be angry.
[Galaxy S II General] juliano76:
Hello Gays!Does anybody managed to connect with Kies via cable with XXKG2? This crazy program is keeping telling me "connecting" but nothing happens. USB debug is NOT ticked.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Use the Frankenstein package

It is reported that it will be the version released via Kies. When? I do not know.
[Galaxy S II General] thekit:
mine is connected ok.. however at the current firmware field is empty but i dont really care since i will just update my firmware here LOL :p

does ur Kies is the latest version? or check ur usb driver..
[Galaxy S II General] thekit:
btw, my Kies version is 2.0.1.11053_99... and my usb driver (Samsung Mobile USB Composite Device) is version 2.9.15.617 (Date: 15/06/2011)...

[Galaxy S II General] rikz112:
hi intratech i upgraded my phone just now to the frankenstein xxkg2 software no wipe however i am now getting force close on email how do i fix this please anyone?
[Galaxy S II General] Hrti:
Try to clear data from email.apk through settings->applications. You will lose your email accounts etc. so you will have to re-add them. But it will reset the email application and possibly fix you problems. Got some problems with the email app myself (emails didn't show up). Cleared data, re-added accounts and it's smooth sailing once again :)
[Galaxy S II General] rikz112:
think im also getting the flash player issue force close on browser not sure

can i flash back to 2.3.3 kf3??

EDIT : no luck with clearing the email apk cache n data either weith email still not working on 2.3.4 kg2
[Galaxy S II General] sdoc96:
+1 Same happened to me (but my email kept crashing constantly) and this method fixed the issue.

I did it the way Intratech suggested...

Go to settings > Applications >Manage applications > All > Email

Tap on force stop and then clear data.
[Galaxy S II General] mmorisa:
hi all,

I didn't flash the firmware but I did flash the modem(radio/baseband) that comes with it.

for me, a stable connection I can say switching from 3G to H and vice.versa. Keep locking at 3G/H even when the signal is one bar. Once out of 3G/H coverage, auto switch to G/E and vice versa.

Highly recommended for modem upgrade only. Use ODIN.

regards,

morisa

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] Hrti:
You can flash back, but there may be issues if you don't perform a full wipe/factory restore.
[Galaxy S II General] rikz112:
ok so i have flashed back and geting lots of force close of stuff like google services and core something and other things SOMEONE HELPP!!!!
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
After downgrading you have to hard reset the device. Backup anything you have on internal storage you want to keep and then input *2767*3855# in the dialpad to hard reset.
[Galaxy S II General] rikz112:
thanks intratech how do i backup on internal????

EDITTTT

I CANT EVEN GO INTO THE DIALER HOW DO I DO HARD RESET?
