A Chilean SGS2 community?.... Sweet, but it all depends on what's the new toy in town.... Jejejejeje

Anyway I can see that we all get along with XDA, and believe me there is no other place like this!!!

If out there are some chilean brothers that are not so good with the "spikin inglish", you may try www.htcmania.com

Yeah, you're right. More than an actual community/site/forum... I think it's good enough to have a thread where we can have some Chilean localized tips for the SGS2... APN's and other stuff.

I don't remember in which xda subforum I saw a thread about SGS2 owners from a specific country. Maybe we should do something like that... or just use this thread, although a bit off topic.

Hey everyone, i am also from chile and got my sgs2 from entel. I rooted my phone.with cf root but i didnt upgrade my firmware. Is there a noticeble.improvement from KE1 to KE7?

why did you choose KE7 and not KE8 or KF1?

I really like the stock rom, except for the boot animation from entel. Would really like to have fhe original galaxy s 2 animation.

Each new firmware version has mainly a lot of bug fixes and some enhancements too, like less memory or cpu usage, and thus indirectly also slightly better battery performance.

At that point of time the latest generic version available was KE7.

Today you have KE8 and KF1.

As far as I know there is no need to flash the same firmware again, that was only recommended when switching the CSC.

Has anyone tried disabling fast dormancy on entel network, and what is your outcome in speed and battery life?

I just test it, but right now I have awful speed results. Not sure if its because I reached the month traffic limit for hi speed or what.

Now I'm getting around 124 down and 112 kbps up :( with and without disabling FD (did repeated tests with almost exact same results, with full signal by the way). Previously, when I just bought the phone and was starting the month I had 1700/400 kbps (test it even in the same place of my house).

Beside speed there are mixed reported results in terms of battery life... so, has anyone test it with entel and what are your impressions in terms of speed and battery life?

Cheers,

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyxeu:
Hi Mguel,

I am currently on VillainRom 1.4 (KF2), KF2 CF-root kernel, unbranded CHOKE1 CSC, and have e.g. Download 818kb/s and Upload 544 kb/s with Entel in different places. I have had also rates around >2mb/s if I was close to a good base station and sometimes also the low rates you write.

I have Fast Dormancy on and do not see any negative effects reported by others outside Chile (e.g. battery leakage).

The VR1.4 battery life is so far the best I have had.

I am waiting for an official and stable 2.3.4 ROM to switch to for now. I do not like unofficial test ROMs and the chinese KG5 is even older than the KG1.

Best regards.

P.S.: Apropos you can check your internet usage entering "Mi Entel" in http://www.entel.cl/ and on the main page summary under "Tráfico"->"Internet Móvil" you can see how many kilobytes you have used in the current month.

EDIT: Today I had 7500kb/s download and 1500kb/s upload in Vitacura.

hello guys

i am new to android OS...that means a n00b... but i have successfully root my phone with this kernel http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1075278

currently Kies gives me this info:

Current firmware version: PDA:KE2 / PHONE:KE2 / CSC:KD1 (VNO)

Baseband ver: I9100UHKE2

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE2-CL187606 root@DELL101 #2

Android ver: 2.3.3

what i would like to do now is to update to the latest firmware is that possible?

thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyxeu:
Of course it is possible.

It is yours to decide if you would like to update to a newer stock ROM or a custom ROM.

You should read the first few posts on unbranded stock ROMs e.g. here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

Afterwards you should read the last few pages to decide which version you would like to switch to.

On the other hand you could also choose to install a custom ROM, e.g. VillainRom:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1081368

Although I personally am preferring VR1.4 to VR2.0 because it is based on an official ROM and not a testing one.

To root your device you could use e.g. the corresponding CF-root kernel:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

There are some experiences in this Chile thread about switching to now old but then new version starting e.g. post number 6. Basically everything should be the same, but the version would now be a newer one like KF2 or later.

As a general advice I would suggest you to read the threads thoroughly at least the first few posts and several of the last pages to understand how it works and what the latest issues are. If you have a problem then it is the best to ask in the corresponding original thread for help.

Your problem now is to decide if you want the latest ROMs based on KG1(2.3.4) and live with eventually some problems or a little older and stable stock rom based e.g. on KF2/3/...(2.3.3) that have maybe less bugs:

In general there exists no complex software without bugs, there are only stable releases that have bugs you can live with or you do not note them because you do not execute those portions when using the device.

Concluding: Do you want to be a beta tester of fresh releases or do you want to use the latest stable "service packs" skipping the always "problematic" fresh releases?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DM-Man:
i want the stable releases...:) so in your opinion i should stay with the current one till the latest one become stable?

thanks for the quick reply..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyxeu:
Hi DM-Man,

As you can see above I am on VillainRom 1.4 which is stable KF2.

XWKF3 seems to be stable too: XEU (Generic UK+Europe).

Usually the best is to take UK/European based ROMs (e.g.: XWK* XEU or XXK* OXA) because they have multiple languages, i.e. Spanish and others.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mguel:
I haven't seen any leakage neither... just wanting to see if there is better battery life only ;) besides for a possible speed bust... but I'll have to wait till August to test it properly.

Me too... I don't have much free time to test too many builds so I have flashed the stable ones only XEU KE7, and recently XEU KF3... and waiting for 2.3.4 also

Yep, I was lazy to check that... but when I saw your better results I checked them the first thing arriving home... and was ready to sue entel if I was below the traffic limit... but I have already used 833.238 Kb!... way over 600 Mb :P and still 10 days left to reset the countdown :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DM-Man:
Hi zyxeu,

i know i don't get it very well and i am sorry for that...but i give it a go...

what you saying is that i can a European rom can you please check the links and tell me if i am on the right track?

ROM: http://www.multiupload.com/ZZYM5ZAFA0 ?

CSC: http://www.multiupload.com/8QERBJT6P7 ?

so total i will have 3 files to put on Odin when flashing?

p.s will i be able to back up my old ROM in case something goes wrong?

thanks again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyxeu:
There is no real backup in warranty cases. What you can do is get the original branded firmware again from Intratech's branded thread just in case of problems:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113928

If it is missing there then kindly ask Intratech if he could get it for you and thank him.

To backup more or less your current setting you can use CF-root kernel that has CWM installed and with that you can make a backup of your actual system, but without the original kernel:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

To get your original CSC you can download it from the "Individual CSC Packages" section in Intratech's unbranded thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

If it is missing there then kindly ask Intratech if he could get it for you and thank him.

If you want to update to KF2/3 and you do not want a "custom" ROM then I would use Intratech's Frankenstein firmware XXKF2 and put your CSC instead of the european:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

Yesterday a possibly stable KG2 with the latest 2.3.4 Android OS came out.

So you might want to consider switching to this one instead, but I recommend to wait a few days until we get an updated XXKG2 CF-root kernel and others have done the first testing in order to minimize negative impact.

Meanwhile you can still get/request the original firmware and CSC. Make backups with Titanium Backup. Maybe install the CF-root kernel that matches your actual

kernel version and make a CWM backup of your user apps.

For example I will switch to XXKG2 as soon as things get available and there is no report of big issues found.

Best regards.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DM-Man:
Can you guide me on on which files to use if i am going to use the XXKG2 also?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyxeu:
The XX OXA CF-root kernel was just published. I will most probably move soon from VillainRom 1.4 to 2.1.

I can send you the links I have used. If you do not like this custom ROM and would prefer to stay closer to stock then you have everything available in Intratech's unbranded thread:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DM-Man:
Is the VillainRom 2.1 already out? if yes give me the link and if you don't mind send me the links on the files that you used on your VillainRom 1.4

Another info that i want to clarify is why i have this CSC:KD1 (VNO) i took it from Kies from the readings in this forum haven't anyone else having same, from phone i get this PDA: I9100UHKE2, PHONE: I9100UHKE2, CSC: I9100UUBKD1

I've been reading this thread since I have a galaxy SII from Newegg (the Claro one -> I9100UHKE2-CL188078). I have a question just to be safe!

From what I read, I can safely go to the generic UK/Europe rom (i.e. XWKF3 being the latest generic UK rom), is that right?

is the generic UK/Europe rom one of the first to receive official Samsung roms via Kies or FOTA? That is the main reason I want to switch to a generic rom. I want to make sure that the rom I move to is one of the first one to receive official Samsung updates.

Also, is the XWKF3 the latest official "generic" rom available? Please keep in mind that I am not looking for cooked or leaked roms but official production ready roms.

Thanks!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyxeu:
Hi Stephane,

Under those circumstances just switch completely to the generic XWKF3 XEU found in Intratech's thread and you will get updated over official KIES.

The generic ROMs are the ones that get updated frequently, and ultimately it looks like XEU and OXA are the fast ones.

Dear Neighbours:

I am dancing with the ugly girl :( (bailando con la fea)

I flashed VillainROM 2.3 over stock ROM from entel. Also, I flashed XXKG3 modem and CF-Root4.1 for the corresponding firmware.

I don't know exactly when, but I got very weird phone behavior.

I got randomly wake ups, when I turned it off, the phone restarts, car mode randomly is open up, same situation with voice commands and the usb port, sometimes works sometimes doesn't.

Download mode is working perfect, so I did a factory reset and then flashed stock entel firmware from the forum, including CSC. I need to something else? I thinking seriously taken back to the store because the issues are not solving. in the meantime I'm wating for a usb jig to reset counter.

I checked the forum following instructions for bricked phones and nothing happens.

Any ideas?

Cheers... Salud! y viva chile!

Hello,

I'm also a nOOb so I was wondering if you could give me into updating my phone to the latest stable version of 2.3.4. or even 2.3.5

I have the following setup:

PDA: I9100UHKE2

PHONE: I9100UHKE2

CSC: I9100UUBKD1

Build info: Fri May 6 14:26:31 KST 2011

My kernel is: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE2

2.3.3 gingerbread

I rooted my phone using the KE2 kernel so I didn't have any issues with the stock ROM that I'm running. In addition, I have some root only apps that would not run with the stock kernel.

Based on what I have read on the prior posts, one option is to go to UHKG7 which is a 2.3.4 stock rom. If that is the case, can I get a KG7 custom kernel as well so I can run my root apps?

Should I just update to the UK/Europe generic rom XWKF3 XEU? I'm in the USA so I'm not sure what type of CSC file I may need but so far I haven't had an issue with my current setup. I'm looking for a stable ROM/kernel that will allow me to root the phone.

Thanks for you help in advance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyxeu:
Hi keyder,

I would use in your case the official XXKG5 stock firmware from Intratech because it is currently one of the most frequently updated ones. It is just hours older than KG7.

I am always using Chainfire's CF-root kernels to root.

The CSC is not that important and has just local information. If you are using another one then maybe you will have to enter some data like the SMS/MMS center details for your provider manually.
