Well after this I have to make another noob question to the experts. I'm new to samsung now. I have an SGS2 with KE2, but could anyone tell me what's the difference between KE2, and KE7 for example. Is KE7 better? in which things?

Other doubt that remains after reading this and the root threads is: my rom is KE2 I think German version, but with that *#272*IMEI# trick I saw that I have EUR CSC which I would prefer. So if I install this EUR CSC would be the same as flashing the XEU KE2 firmware version? Or should I simply download and flash the original XEU KE2 firmware? I'm a bit lost and confused.

Thanks for all your help.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kshting:
1. Ok, the firmware that you currently have is the XWKE2 with the EUR CSC if I understood you correctly. Now, if you are happy with this firmware, you could always keep it and flash the insecure KE2 kernel and root with SuperOneClick. After that just flash back the original KE2 kernel to get rid of the yellow triangle. This process would not change your EUR CSC, basically it would give you root.

2. With regards to which is better, KE2 or KE7, unfortunately there is no changelog from samsung. If you wish to upgrade your firmware to KE7 and keep your EUR CSC, you could always try the multiple CSC package from this thread :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

>>>>This Multi-CSC package below is not an official firmware package, it is a Frankenstein package created due to demand for XWKE7 with different CSC. KIES will not recognise the firmware so you won't be able to update to new firmware using KIES unless you flash back to a firmware meant for your device first. Otherwise there will always be Odin to use for updates

CSC packages contained are: AUT, COS, CYO, DBT, DCM, DNF, EUR, FWB, KOR, LUX, NEE, OMN, ORG, ORS, PAN, PLS, SEB, SUN, SWC, TMS, TPH, VDH, VIA, VOM, XEE, XEH, XEO, XEZ, XSK

This changes the package to PDA:XWKE7, PHONE: XXKE4, CSC:OXXKE2.

Download link: http://galaxy.androidgamer.org/Firmw...KE4_OXXKE2.zip

You can change between csc by typing *#272*Device IMEI# into the dial pad and selecting the csc of your choice and press install. It will reset the device.<<< [Quoted from the above thread]

Do not be lost and confused. Be calm and read as much as you possibly could, eventually you would get the idea.

Good Luck!!!!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] flogger:
Well, first of all I must thank you for your answer and your patience :) Thank you very much!

I take this chance to ask you some other thing:

Actually, the version I had was the KE2 with DBT CSC. With the usual trick of the *#272 I noticed I had lots of packages available in it. Anyway, I put the insecure kernel, I rooted, and after it I put again the original KE2 kernel.

Wonderful, so far so good, the root was perfect and so on. After this, with the 272 I changed to TPH CSC wich is my country. The phone reseted bla bla, and I still have root. I was very happy about it cause everything went just fine. But today I noticed something in the dialer. While a call is in progress I used to have a "noise cancelation symbol" or something right by the left side of the "Hold" button. Right now it disappeared completely. What happened? Was it something to do with the kernel? Right now I don't have noise cancelation anymore? Did this happen to anybody?

Thanks

Based on the screen picture, your rom should be xwlpz. You can confirmed it by dial *#1234# and looking what pda you have. Phil kernel have many ICS 4.0.4 kernel in the link below:

Alternatively you can also used this methods:

1) read up this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1840223

It will give you a temporary cwm recovery. Used the cwm recovery to flash siyah kernel 5.01 which have link in 2. This will root your phone and also a permanent cwm recovery for you to backup/restore tasks as well for customer rom installation.

2) Siyah kernel 5.01 was a safe kernel will worked for you: http://d-h.st/AEZ.
