Portugal Optimus Rom 2.3.3

Hi Intratech, I wonder if you can get the Rom for Galaxy S2 the operator is from Portugal and it's called Optimus. Please help a brother with this. I've been searching for this for 2 months already but nothing yet. Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I'm packaging it up now bro. Will be uploaded shortly :)

edit: It will be in the carrier firmware thread.

3G Denmark HTDKI1 CSC now available
[Galaxy S II General] fgar82:

[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Holey crap! Dude grab the XXKI3 Polish firmware. That firmware version is may have survived the great flood with Noah.:eek:
[Galaxy S II General] lion9t:
thanks alote ... but is Ki8 wipe version?
[Galaxy S II General] akbarhash:
All firmware non-wipe unless specified. Read the first three posts more carefully.

Hey, I need it, I need some, its been like a long time can't stop myself give me something, anything...

Its been two weeks. Can't stop my addiction.

If KI3 was with Noah, KI8 was there wen Jesus was born. It feels like 2000 years. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] cjimenez1010:
i wonder why South Africa is still in 2.3.3 if 2.3.5 is available in Europe
[Galaxy S II General] joelteixeira:
I think there is no special reason, the official brazilian rom still 2.3.3 as well. I believe it's because of some kind of deal with europeans operators. Who knows... I don't really care, even if samsung release a brazilian ice cream sandwich version today I would keep using cyanogen.
[Galaxy S II General] mercuryblue:

[Galaxy S II General] 1edge1:
Got a call from call centre yesterday said they are expecting 2.3.4 to arrive by the end of the month. Then issue them to operators to release over kies. So by early november over kies.

Thats too long if u ask me
[Galaxy S II General] sids911:
I would like to know this too, except that I want to flash XWKI8 Nordic version on my Indian SGS II.

Possible?
[Galaxy S II General] mercuryblue:
Do we need to flash CSC of India again ??? or its ok with the UK to run Indian SGS II. Sorry bit confused...

---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------

Did u apply the update???
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
If you have data connectivity and your SMS works then there is no real need to flash Indian CSC.

What update?
[Galaxy S II General] mercuryblue:
Sorry ...Update question was for sids911

thanks Intratech...will try to flash the latest one then.. i think its KI8, right ???
[Galaxy S II General] mrjeffery:
Has anyone flashed an Official Vodafone UK i9100 yet?
[Galaxy S II General] svortevik:
After updating to KE7 my phone restarts without warning. Tre times since yesterday now.

Anyone else had this problem?
[Galaxy S II General] travisb:
Updated and rooted no problems on Vista machine. Obviously the W7 VM on the Mac gets itself in a tizzy somehow.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
This may sound rude but did you bother to read the section of the guide about rooting? There is a little nugget there in bold that may answer your question I think.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
You've done something weird, don't have this issue.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I'm finding it difficult to help you because I cannot follow what you're doing. You seem to be reading something from elsewhere and posting here. There is no mentioned KE2 insecure or gingerbreak anywhere in the guide.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
No problem here. Tell me you haven't done a restore with Titanium Backup and restored system apps.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
The reason the Stock Kernel for the firmware versions are under each firmware is because I assume that people will want to restore the kernel that match the firmware that they have flashed and then rooted. That being said you are free to use any kernel you choose but that will be something for you to deal with if it doesn't work.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Are you in download mode? Try another USB port.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
When it's available I will upload it. :)
[Galaxy S II General] lgkahn:
Anyone try pptp vpn over 3g yet with this firmware .. forgot when I was out. Not working in previous firmwares.
[Galaxy S II General] t0ph0id:
Yep, the day I got it.
[Galaxy S II General] svortevik:
No backup or restore. Only thing I've done in titanium is to freeze bbc and update service, but that was after the update, and just to test the freeze feature.
[Galaxy S II General] Kur0saki:
I need the csc xee? which firmware do i have to download to get that? i didnt find it in the multi csc.

Where does kies download the firmware on the pc? i have updated once through there.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
C drive TEMP folder but you have to be very quick at the end of the download to copy and save before it installs .

Can I flash only pda e phone and leave old csc (itv)?
[Galaxy S II General] revaz:
Looks I did OK. I even try back on KE2 - same problem - get back to KE7. All settings looks OK. Totally starnge....
[Galaxy S II General] tonime:
Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
If you have a PDA tar file then yes .

But have you ???

jje
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Yes, it is the latest ROM for SGS2 in the moment.
[Galaxy S II General] sids911:
Yes I did. Now I am running KI8.

Nothing got wiped, things seem working, but slow.

Very very slow actually, too much of lag, It looks like I will have to factory reset :-(

I hate resets! I had my device setup perfectly, and I will have to go thru the chores of setting it all up again, not to mention backup and restore routines!

Question to everyone, if I dont like KI8 even after factory reset, can I go back to KF3? same flash steps using Odin?
[Galaxy S II General] MC18:
Hello,

what firmwares do you suggest? Which number?

This is my current firmware:

Model number: GT-I9100

Android version: 2.3.3

Baseband version: I9100BUKG1

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100BUKG2-CL342890

root@DELL102#2

Build number: GINGERBREAD.BUKG2

I am new on forum, so please have patient with me, but I read basic information and tutorial, but there is just too many versions.

Thank you
[Galaxy S II General] AMoosa:
I've just installed KI8 frankenstein and it has installed fine. However, there are Force Closes for com.android.phone and the phone does not start up. How can this be resolved without having to Factory Reset?

I also cannot input any text...
[Galaxy S II General] akbarhash:
If you are rooted then go to titanium backup and then go to SMS/mms/apn storage and then wipe data. Other option is to factory rest.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] stefan.pilsu:
Basicly you have two options:

1. Factory reset after flashing and restore user apps via titanium backup

2. Root your phone after flashing and remove /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/nwk_info.db

it will be recreated during next boot.

[Galaxy S II General] AMoosa:
Not sure what option you meant in TB. I tried Stefan's suggestion and it worked perfect. Thanks anyways
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I really don't know if I should take you seriously. I said it was on the first page of this thread and you go to the carrier firmware thread and linked to something from there. I'll see if I can break it down for you.

1. GO TO THE FIRST PAGE OF THIS THREAD.

2. Look for UHKI2 section

3. Locate the VNO package. THIS IS YOUR FIRMWARE

4. Under that there is something labelled "STOCK UHKI2 KERNEL"

5.^ That would be your kernel.

edit: Who keeps reporting the VIVO Brazil firmware as a copyright violation to multiupload? Why the hell would you do that?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Why don't you stay at samfirmware?
[Galaxy S II General] inkyadrian:
Is this relavent to my post?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Was your post relevant to the question? He asked about a firmware and kernel package available in THIS THREAD.
[Galaxy S II General] inkyadrian:
Yes? I have given the person an answer. Your comment is irrelevant to this thread. Bugger off.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Seeing as I'm the creator of said thread, and I assume the question was directed at myself, I will put my response in a manner a retard like you will understand:
[Galaxy S II General] inkyadrian:
I repied to a post, which was earlier.

CWM

wow im total noob!!!!

K so i followed the steps from this thread to gain root!

Im on KG4 i think non rooted

First step Flashing insecure CF kernel - DONE

Second Step Flashing back original kernel to remove Yellow Trianlge - DONE

Now Rooted with stock kernel but Stock Recovery(suck Recovery)

How do i gain back CWM without Yellow triangle?
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Just flash back the CF-Root kernel but via the "flash kernel" feature in the CWM app which your should still have.

You will just have to unzip the kernel zImage first before flashing.

Guys NO GPS lock

Guys help required.. I flashed the xwki8 fw from this thread(Non frankeistein) and now i cant get a gps lock.. I mean it used to get a lock within 20 secs on xwkf3.. Friends please help.. Do i need to flash something else too?
[Galaxy S II General] therealnoob:
i remember after step 2(flashing back stock kernel) i installed clockword mod from amrket, and it prolly deleted the CWM app...well at least i cant find the CWM app.

And the one I downloaded from market doesnt let me flash anything

any more idead? or just flash cf insecure kernel via odin?

that would mean

flash cf root

then flash original kernel then flash back cf root hehehehehe
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
As it is off topic in this thread, please read Chainfire's description in the first post of his thread ...

... and please post your problems and questions concerning CF-Root in his thread.

Thanks !

P.S.: Your last idea with reflashing CF-Root kernel, then flash stock kernel and then flash zImage from CF-Root kernel via CWM app sounds very good ;)

Hi,

It is highly probable that in this case you have to behave as you are making your very first GPS fix. I remember barely that when i unpacked the phone, my first gps fix takes about 2-3 minutes. Just walk outside and wait patiently. GPS is working well also with KI8. Let me know the results ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Ya right!! I just downloaded a softare from market called GPS AIDS, which helped me to get my first lock very fast.And after that all my GPS locks are back to under 20 seconds lock .. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Go outside and use GPSTest from the market and allow the device to get it's first lock and configure itself. After the first lock it will be as fast as it was before. You can use Fasterfix to change the server to Asia or wherever you are.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
BTW, XXKI4 will be up later.
[Galaxy S II General] cjimenez1010:
too long...I'm not going back from 2.3.5 to 2.3.4 just because its south african, i'm happy with XWKI8. Anyway I hope we can get an official ICS soon.

did XXKI4 came with GTalk with video now ? or still no video Talk ?
[Galaxy S II General] radier:
I would bet no video.

But who cares about GTalk? Google+ video chating works like a charm. Even in groups.
[Galaxy S II General] dragon135:
@intratech: which one is smoother/faster, XXKI4 or XWKI8?

Based on the compiled date difference of 1day, isn't KI8 supposed to be better?..
[Galaxy S II General] Montala:
I wonder if we dare ask Intratech when he thinks a reliable link might actually appear, as I am sure a lot of users would love to know? :)
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Probably would be pretty pointless since he probably has no idea himself lol :p
[Galaxy S II General] Beowulf_pt:
Finally flashed/rooted mine for the first time using only the first post and it went pretty well, thanks Intratech. No yellow triangle also.

I did not clear cache or reset anything to, lets see how it behaves. But all my config seems to have remained.

I did have issues with Odin freezing on certain steps and those were only solved by using a different USB port. The only step I added was finding the code to remove the operator lock.

Only one question remains.. there is absolutely no way of changing the CSC code without a factory reset, right?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
XXKI4. I think I posted that it would be worth while flashing it, I wouldn't have said that if it wasn't the case. :)

Exactly. Only thing I heard is that "it will be sooner than you think".:eek:
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
You could edit it manually. Have a quick search on the forum for how to do it.

My 2 cents

Def not happy with XXKI4, lost the sub-pixel AA in fonts from KI8 and Swype has (again) the dutch bug when adding words to dictionary. Running Vellamo also resulted in lower scores than before, so def a mixed bag for me. KI8 remains (for me) the best firmware released so far.

Hoping October firmwares start coming out soon and ICS, I'm def torn whether I keep the SGS2 or switch to GalaxyNexus since most of the things I don't like about stock android have been addressed now.

Hi,

I'm running on

PDA: I9100XWKF3

PHONE: I9100DDKE4

CSC: I9100ODDKF3

Build Info: Thu Jun 9 18:16:44 KST 2011

Android version 2.3.3

Baseband version I9100DDKE4

Kernel version 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555 root@DELL101 #2

Build number GINGERBREAD.XWKF3

i want to upgrade to 2.3.5 XXKI3, please see below and help me to clarify my confusion.

Now i'm confuse which one to download. XEO version is for Poland, should i download this one?? And what does it mean by stock kernel, and its only around 5 MB, while the other one is more than 250 MB.

which one should i download and is this one non-wipe version???

And when i go further down of the thread i see Frankenstein Firmwares.

There is also a version of XXKI3 which is a non-wipe version.

I wanted to put the official firmware not customized one. So can you please help me understand above thing i mentioned.???

thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Although everthing is written in the first three posts of Intratech, I try to give short answers to your questions.

But I have to start with a question:

Why do you want to flash XXKI3? Why not XXKI4 which is newer?

1. All ROMs are non-wipe - all wipe versions are explicitly marked as "wipe".

2. XEO (Poland) does not mean that his ROM is only for Poland.

XX specifies that there are many other languages included (Intratech listed all contained languages in the letter code table of the first post).

If your language is included, you can use this ROM.

3. The ROM is the big file, because it contains everything (=> this is the complete firmware file).

The stock kernel is only the kernel part (zImage file) of the ROM. That's why it is smaller.

You only need the stock kernel, if you want to get rid of the yellow triangle after rooting your phone.

If you don't want to root your phone, you do not need the stock kernel.

BTW, you do not need to root your phone to update the firmware.

4. The Frankenstein versions are build the combine original ROMs from Samsung with other PHONE/modems and/or CSCs (consumer software customisations).

This might be needed, if the original ROM does not contain your regional mobile carrier.

So you can put the Frankenstein ROM in PDA section and your region's or carrier's CSC in CSC section of Odin and flash your phone.

5. As this is the "Official i9100 Firmwares" thread, all ROMs from Intratech listed here are based on the official ROMs and are not Custom ROMs.

I hope that this can help you to get out of your confusion ;-)

And if you decide to flash a new ROM to your phone, use the latest available and stable version - I recommend XXKI4 in the moment.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II General] sayem_unlimited:
Thanks a lot for such a nice reply.

I also wanted to upgrade to the latest XWKI8 version bot someone told me from this forum that XXKI3 is more stable and good, that's why, i was looking for this. So, if XXKI4 is stable than i can upgrade to this one. suggest me please.

Well about CSC, as u can see i'm from indian region (CSC: I9100ODDKF3), is it possible put back my version of CSC (the one is running now) after upgrading to official XXKI4 ??? Or which CSC will suit me ??? Cause i want an official firmware as i'm new to all these things.

After some experience i'd be able to get into Frankenstein version or other cool stuffs.

another dumb question again.... XXKI4 official version is non-wipe, wight???

Thanks a lot....
[Galaxy S II General] clefster:
Just tried to flash KI4 over KI3 (2.3.5) and odin failed 75% of the way through and now my phone is not detectable by windows (USB device not recognized).

Any ideas what I can try? I've tried a USB jig and although it reset the counter it didn't help much with getting the device recognized. Tried another cable and lots of different usb ports and another PC.. no luck :(
[Galaxy S II General] DarkNiz:
Did you close all background KIES applications before you launched Odin?

I don't believe there were any Kies processes running (I've never had to do this before .. have done maybe 6-7 flashes prior to this without any trouble)
