Hay

I'm going to flash LP8

If I want to use different CSC… do I, or can I flash it with PDA (LP8) and also include CSC, or I have to flash CSC separately, after flashing PDA?

Thnx

The Odin V1.85 link from post 1 is down. I can find Odin else where but what about the mentioned odin3.ini file. Does it matter ? In the cfg file from Odin V 1.85 I found here on XDA contains this :

[Option]

Title= Android+SLP

FactoryResetTime=0

OptionEnable=1

[APOption]

RePartition=0

AutoReboot=1

FResetTime=1

FlashLock=0

[CPOption]

PhoneEFSClear=0

PhoneBootUpdate=0

Is this safe to use ?

Thanks pawmadsen, how thick do I feel, I got it now. I am rooted but I think I'll stick with ics touch wiz and nova launcher, I think this combination gives me the best of both :)

[Galaxy S II General] Donaghy:
As far as the extra CSC packages go that are at the bottom of the Frankenstein firmware post: is it me, or is the Dutch (XEN) LP3 CSC not part of any of these packages? I know CSC is really not a necessity, but for some reason it gives me peace of mind when I know that I have the correct one displaying.

Running Dutch (XEN) LP7 (with the standard LPS modem, which is the same in the LP8 if I'm not mistaking) right now, but I'm hearing a lot of good things about LP8. Makes me wonder if I should take that plunge.

Any advice on the best way to go about this CSC issue? Just 'fuggettaboutit' and leave the one that comes with the Frankenstein package? Flash another one? Find a XEN one? Is there one available in this thread and am I just missing it? Thanks guys.

i flashed to LP8 and now CSC show unknown. is it normal? or i need to flash CSC? will flashing CSC wipe the phone?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
I flashed the same CSC that I had before, so nothing was changed ... and no wipe.

But it should be possible to flash another CSC afterwards without a wipe ... but please make a backup before flashing.

Changing the active CSC on a MultiCSC by using the code *#272... will wipe you phone.

[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
It is your choice.

I would recommend the ARB (Bahrain) version, as this seems to be a version with Arabic (RTL = right to left) support.

Could be important for you.

If not, use the version you want/prefer most.

They are all (nearly) the same firmware.

bootloader

hi everyone.. I know it has been questioned before,but it seems i still dont have the answer for it..

"I am stuck in bootloop. I cant access recovery using Vol Up + Home + Power but I can access Download mode and flash roms using ODIN. But no use. Everytime its stuck in boot loop and either the initial boot logo flashes or it stays stuck at the boot logo."

anyone got a bootloader file that i can flash it via Odin? the file in page one is corrupted,everytime i extracted it,it break and can not be used..

please can somebody help me?
[Galaxy S II General] pawmadsen:
Make sure to use the lastest version of 7z. File is fine, its your computer breaking it.
[Galaxy S II General] milu_m:
Sure it's possible. The easiest would be to get xwlp8 Frankenstein from Intratech and replace csc images if there is no ready to use csc image somewhere. It slightly newer than LP7 and has old boot loader.

You no longer need to use a jig, the safest way to reset the counter is to use the triangle away program by chain fire.

Hi, anyone experienced accidentally stops and restarts of the phone?

I have LP8, and few minutes ago, even the battery was 47%, the phone has stopped. I only started it after removing the battery. This is a second time after an accidentally restart, few days ago.

I never experienced this in Gingerbread. I don't want to flash back to 2.3.6 so what it is happening?
[Galaxy S II General] Smartie36:
I haven't experienced that problem, only issues I've had with any ics version I've used is the `All share` app is bugged & also some web sites not displaying correctly in the browser app (never had problems with the same sites with 2.3.6)
[Galaxy S II General] jonny_ftm:
I don't know if this is useful to you but I just grabbed from Kies the new official XW LP7 for OXX code in my country.

Looking into the tar, I see the sbl file is dated april 03 and is binary different from the one included in first post under new ICS SBL download link

I know many don't care, and I also don't have the knowledge and patience to make a valid tar file. I upload the sbl.bin for those interested for dev reasons and if can be added in first post instead of actual SBL

I personally used Triangle Away to keep the original Kies SBL. After all flashing sbl is also not risk free for people fearing Triangle Away

[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
I also noticed that there are multiple versions of the ICS bootloader - there's the one shared in the initial post, then there's a different one on the XWLP3 (original) package, another one on XWLP8 ...

I'm currently using the XWLP3 rom with the old GB bootloader. In Settings / About / Status there are a few "Unknown" entries (including IMEI), so I guess I should update to one of the ICS bootloaders and only use the old one temporarily in case of needing to clear the counter with JIG ...
[Galaxy S II General] gevans35:
Yes, I had this today.

Pressed on button and nothing happened, phone completely unresponsive, held on button for ten seconds and phone rebooted and is running okay, LP8, battery 77%.

Could this be to do with using the old bootloader?

[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
I'm using LP3 with the old bootloader and every now and then also have strange hangs, altough it eventually unlocks and signals App Not Responding for whatever was in the foreground - contacts, email, launcher, etc.

I usually either press back repeatedly, or hold the home button for a few secs to show the task manager. It takes a while to have any sort of reaction, but eventually the notification appears and I can even "wait for app to respond" and it resumes normally.

It might well be due to the GB bootloader, but even if not I'll definitely replace it with a newer one, as soon as I flash XWLP8.

Someone tell me how I can work out how 'new' this release is, in relation to the likes of LP8 that I am currently running. How does the numbering/labelling work, so I can tell how old or otherwise, this version is...? And is the modem newer too?

Or do I need to actually Flash this first, before we can see the required information etc?

[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
Packaging your own bootloader for Odin flash

Hi Intra,

Given the fact that there seem to be multiple versions of the SBL depending on the ICS stock rom, I thought it would be nice to give people step by step instructions on how to create their own bootloader packger from whatever rom they need, in order to restore the SBL after flashing the old one to use the JIG, without requiring the flash of the entire rom (+kernel).

I'm almost sure that the steps would be the ones below, but could someone double check?

Make sure you are running Linux (or Windows with Cygwin installed)

Obtain the "Sbl.bin" file from the ROM package you installed

Run the command "tar -H ustar -c Sbl.bin > my_ics_bootloader.tar"

Run the command "md5sum -t my_ics_bootloader.tar >> my_ics_bootloader.tar"

Rename the file "my_ics_bootloader.tar" to "my_ics_bootloader.tar.md5"

When you want to go back to this bootloader after using another one, flash using Odin by selecting this .tar.md5 file in the PDA entry an no more changes

In addition to confirming these steps, I have 2 questions just to feel safer :)

When flashing bootloaders (secondary), the operation is safe even if the flash is interrupted, because there are 2 copies of the SBL and therefore there's always a backup provided no repartition is ever done (hope so)

Do any of the stock roms come with a primary boot loader? Boot.img isn't the PBL, is it?

The "md5sum" command does indeed take the "-t" argument, despite the fact that it's going to be the checksum of a binary file, right? (I know the checksum is optional)

Thanks in advance for any clarifications, and if you agree I'd suggest either adding instructions to the "Bootloaders" section of the initial post, or checking the multiple checksums of the various files and making available the several bootloaders corresponding to the multiple ROMs, if you guys think it is relevant to have an exact match.
[Galaxy S II General] jonny_ftm:

I'd also like to know the steps to make this tar from sbl.bin

after odin flash- kies break during firmware update

Hi, i hope someone can help me. Since 4 days i am trying to understand and make firmware update via Kies. I flashed(just the ROM) my Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 and i9100G with Odin (only with official Samsung ROMs) and Kies is able to recognize my device but when i try to do firmware update with Kies-the program starts and after downloading the necessary files does NOTHING.

[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:

[Galaxy S II General] ryn888:
Okay... All of galaxy note fw came from sammobile it uses new bootloader.
[Galaxy S II General] betatalking:
Wow.. this is tricky. I'd need to nail it down with both my thumbs!
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
I'm not sure of your point though, the bootloader for the Note is completely different from the I9100, in the later versions of Gingerbread, the bootloader was patched to not allow the JIG to reset the counter. I could only deduce that this patch was present in the first iterations of the Note's bootloader.

Either way, the bootloader in this thread are for the the I9100 and not for the Note, if there is a way to reset the counter on the Note, you should look in the correct forum. Bootloaders, kernels and roms are not cross-platform.

XWLP9 is available apparently.

Will it be available here Intratech?
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
I've given another look at the multiple bootloaders topic, after seeing that Sbl.bin in the new LP9 has yet a different checksum.

Turns out that for all the versions I compared (the one Intra shared in the first post, XWLP3, XWLP8 and XWLP9), the only differences are a couple of chars around offset 0x87b00 - which is just a string with the build timestamp - and a 256-byte block at offset 0x13F000 - which I'm guessing is a signature that the PBL might use to check the integrity of the SBL.

In the SBL code there doesn't seem to be any direct reference either to the string with the build timestamp, nor to the signature block. I'd therefore conclude that it's perfectly safe to use the single ICS bootloader that Intra shared :cool:

PS: Can anyone still clarify my previous doubts about how safe is it to flash SBLs even in case of interruption?

Me too.

Tried it five days running now...

Can't make it through a single shift at work without my phone dying.

Have tried wipe flash just to be sure, and tried uninstalling any apps I felt suspect about.

My problem seems to be that when I go into Battery Settings to see what's eating things, "Android OS" is the biggest entry, and if I click on that, it then shows a "Keep Awake" value, that is at least half of the entire time the phone has been on battery power itself.

So I can't fathom it out.

I'm gonna try an install of the LP9 Rom out today for the Netherelands.

My problem is, people on here are calling it a generic ROM, but the only link I can find to it, is for "KPN" network.

Additionally, I still don't have enough knowledge to know how i get the T-Mobile UK CSC file out of the recent T-Mobile release ROM, to flas along with this new LP9 Dutch FW...

Anyone?

[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
If you use standard Odin instead of MobileOdin, you have to do the packaging on your own instead of just mixing the multiple parts you want.

However, Intratech has already provided several unbranded CSCs and Multi-CSCs, so if you just want to swap that (and not also the kernel to flash everything in one go, for instance), you can use the normal Odin and flash the entire rom in PDA plus the alternative CSC you want in the CSC field (which takes precedence)
