[Galaxy S II General] ediwitch:
i bought my mobile phone from Amazon, not connected to any provider.I bought it from UK and now i live in Bulgaria. How could i find my product code? I thought that updating via Kies is the proper way and updating via Odin is not proper and i can damage my device.. is that true?
[Galaxy S II General] Astri:
Basically, there is no harmony on the color. I even see some blue lines at the edge of the green.

To stay on-topic, hopefully it will get fixed with this update.
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
Oh okay I see what you mean, go to settings, display, background effect and select movie, should be much better then.
[Galaxy S II General] total360:
I love that sort....
[Galaxy S II General] ediwitch:
OMG,, everything is so complicated.. if Odin is not official , so there is something wrong then :)))) .. i just wanted to know whats the difference between updating via kies and via odin.. i try to read... read a lot.. ( english is a bit difficult for me but i did my best) and still didnt find out the difference .. what means official way.. what do i risk with non official way :)))))) help me !!
[Galaxy S II General] turborider:
with odin you can install very easy IF you got Problems with Kies which most people have and they find odin very useful and you can find same updates in here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 thanks to Intratech
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Odin is the software that Samsung Engineers use to flash firmware when they do repairs or update. Kies is meant for consumers to update their device using updates pushed out to them from Samsung's server.

If you flash an update to your device using Odin then it's no different from using KIES as long as the update was meant for your device.

Most of the people here on XDA think of themselves more as engineers than consumers so they shun KIES and use Odin. Some that think they are engineers but lack the 3L337 sk!11z required to read and follow instructions can bollocks up their device.
[Galaxy S II General] Pyrone89:
Odin is a tool to update firmware, but it is not build by the telephone maker itself for consumer use therefore not officially supported. As you are using this you have to be aware that if anything goes wrong, depending on your country's consumer policies, you have to fix the problem yourself or hope that Samsung doesn't notice the it if you do decide to claim warranty. In general there seems to be no problem and if you follow the instructions everything is fine. People do jowever report to loose the ability to update through KIES in the future, but as you obviously have alreadt preferred Odin, that is not really a loss
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Odin is from Samsung matey.:)
[Galaxy S II General] Pyrone89:
I know, but I described it wrong. Already fixed it. Waiting for next update for The Netherlands. Do you know which package code i should keep my eue out for
[Galaxy S II General] ediwitch:
thats what scares me.. i read everywhere : you do it on your own risk... and this scares me a lot.. and i never read this when i work with kies ( well i didnt get any update via kies :))))) .. and these words... ' if anything goes wrong'... i cant imagine what it could be.. as if i try to demolish my device on purpose.. and at the same time i am so curuious.. i want to have my updates ... life is not fair.. but , THANK YOU BOYS for your anwers :)))))
[Galaxy S II General] omrij:
I also got my phone with KDC (csc is XEU)

you can't update this firmware via kies

use odin :)
[Galaxy S II General] ediwitch:
:-)) thank you, you gave me confidence :))))
[Galaxy S II General] Pyrone89:
Just make sure to follow the Odin manual step by step and then you don't have to worry.
[Galaxy S II General] :
The scare of doin at own risk is on HTC big.

But with an onlocked bootloader of Sammy, it's not scarry.

Am on sammy since day 1 of the sgs (android, wm5/6 even more beyond), and know what to do there and its easy, GS2 is exact the same.

My gf's HTC desire and before wanting to root or etc...... on 2.3.x needed to flash back to very old stuff to get root, so long way short, and a lot of pda's before, this device needed a trip to a service centre and 2.2 hours there the boot normal again.

Just note, sammy is REALLY easy if your set is unlocked (if locked it's still possible but just read good). just do and have fun. never bricked a sammy over 3,5years.
[Galaxy S II General] ediwitch:
excuse me, but i couldnt translate this.. could you tell the same in other words?? Thank you in advance :))):)
[Galaxy S II General] ediwitch:
Intratech, you did a gread work giving stock kernels ! There is only one problem.. the first one that you gave is XWKDD. As i understand, if something goes wrong, i can go back to it... BUT mine is XWKC.... is there any problem ?? Where is mine? Will i be able to go back to mine and where to find it?? Or, I can go to XDKDD ? I bought my phone from Amazon and live in Bulgaria - it would be too complicated to ask for quarantee :):):).. so i'd rather wont :)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Just have the latest firmware for your device, doesn't have to be XWKDC.
[Galaxy S II General] ediwitch:
a great THANK YOU

Maybe today... :)

Remove space,for the link...
[Galaxy S II General] Pyrone89:
make it sound like they are the actual ones making the firmware. It is unclear who is 'we' in that tweet
[Galaxy S II General] jezza333:
The oh-so-almighty SamFirmware team </sarcasm> It seems like they're so far up themselves that the lump in their throat is their nose....
[Galaxy S II General] Dirky:
I thought this thread was more about the official 2.3.4 upgrade, I must admit I was a little confused about samfirmware's relationship with the official one, I now understand there is no relationship?

Se 'we' here are awaiting the official one no? Other in development thread maybe?
[Galaxy S II General] Manafa:
I'm also I little bit confused. Why samfirmware testing the new release? I thought this is the job of Samsung engineers, not some forum people. And what will happen if samfirmware team do not like the results of testing? Samsung will not release the update or what?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
LMAO!!!!!!!11
[Galaxy S II General] Leggenda:
what? :D :)
[Galaxy S II General] jezza333:
They're a bunch of tools. :p
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
He probably has a leaked built, it might actually not be suited for general release hence samsung didn't release it.
[Galaxy S II General] Manafa:
Ok, I understand this, but why he test it, if it is not good enough for Samsung engineers? And who will install this, just to have it few days earlier, instead to wait for official realese? I thought, that all samfirmware build are exactly the same like official builds. Thats why I'm a bit confused.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Someone probably sent him a build and they're trying to figure out whether its pre-production or final and what shape it's in. I certainly don't want to be the first to try it.
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
Or shock horror they could be doing it for the hits?
[Galaxy S II General] SamFirmware:
Our Admin is testing Android 2.3.4 for Galaxy S II.

He told nothing about the firmware version.

What i know is we will have XWKF1 tomorrow.

And also some other roms for the I9100.

Stay tuned on our twitter or website.

The firmware XWKF1 will be online tomorrow.

[Galaxy S II General] omrij:
BS

since when are you "testing" leaked samsung firmwares?

you just post them as soon as you see them here on XDA
[Galaxy S II General] painterceessie:
I check twitter and website the hele dag.

Samfirmware is the best.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] SamFirmware:
This is absolute not true SamFirmware.com is most of the time faster with his firmwares than XDA.

And we are also doiing other phones our focus is not only the I9100 or I9000.

But maybe you should take a look on our I9100 list and the list here.

Than you will see we have a lot more.

You can blame us for everything you want to say but most of the time we are right and not other websites ;)

remember that.

[Galaxy S II General] omrij:
It's really easy to upload decrypted firmwares from samsung fus server

most of your I9100 are straight from there

so cut the BS
[Galaxy S II General] jezza333:
Kinda contradictory... what about this? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1120970

Yes we also use FUS.

But XDA to.

[Galaxy S II General] jojo2peter:
Samfirmware, may you say us, which region-code it is? If it's XEU and those things. Probably i shoulda wait till tomorrow. ^^
[Galaxy S II General] SamFirmware:
I asked our Admin he told us i can't tell you at the moment about my firmware, but firmware I9100XWKF1 will be online tomorrow.

Samsung's market is Europe at the moment.

First updates for Galaxy S II will come in Europe.

Like you also saw by the Galaxy S.

Tomorrow we can tell more.

And you will see more on our website.

Not sure if u will no this but hey Ill ask anyway, do u have any idea when Samsung will release the proper uk or eu version of 2.3.4 ???

You do a great job!
[Galaxy S II General] daz_2000:
So is this update samfirmware talk about gonna be on kies. Or will I need to get involved with Odin?
[Galaxy S II General] nybreath:
They said it could be at any moment now, they should be tesing it internal at samsung atm.

So it's a matter of when its ready.

Keep in mind there is no official info from samsung. So take it as you want.

I don't care if it comes now or in a month, I d just like to know if its a good upgrade, or if its just some bug fixes.
[Galaxy S II General] painterceessie:
odin is the best.

kies sucks.
[Galaxy S II General] NoOneCanHelpMe:
amen to that :D
[Galaxy S II General] sohanlon07:
So this is not the official release then.
[Galaxy S II General] El Salvador:
The week has been passed and still no update, as expected. I think this thread can be closed now to avoid any misconceptions.
[Galaxy S II General] NoOneCanHelpMe:
it was a rumour and we can rumour all year if we have to :) i'd suggest u get cold beer and relax.

it's not an update that it vital to the survival of humanity :D

I can wait as long as it has to. who cannot wait...well... dont read this thread then :)
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
Since hearing this rumour has not come true I have decided to start an Anonymous Galaxy Android Group or A.G.A.G for short.

2.3.4 will be here when Samsung deem it ready till then grab a beer, chill

[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
most likely unofficial via odin unless specified by samfirmware
[Galaxy S II General] painterceessie:
kies will give you also the update,but when!!!!!

when the update is out by samfirmware,you can flash it right away.

odin is fast and smooth.

Does odin and/or kies wipe data on the phone?

[Galaxy S II General] daz_2000:
Apologies for newbie question. But not used Odin before... if I update using that with this firmware will it invalidate my warranty and do I need to be rooted?
[Galaxy S II General] walda:
People too stupid to read a few postings back... unbelievable
[Galaxy S II General] painterceessie:
no wipe sir,I do it all the time.
[Galaxy S II General] Pyrone89:
What the hell. The I9000 already has 2.3.4 and so do lower devices. But for all other models in the I9xxx series they seem to have problems of updsting to 2.3.4 why is that?
[Galaxy S II General] SmilerOnline:
They must be putting a little more effort into the Galaxy S2's Firmware

and the TouchWiz 4.0 UI is still in early days, so they're probably making sure that it works perfectly (Samsung have obviously learnt alot in recent times, and I think that after they read the feedback about TW3.0, they really want to get TW4.0 right this time!)
[Galaxy S II General] woodstock_ahem:
I think maybe Samsung is including some of the firmware fixes with the update 2.3.4 OS update which are two different things...

well i hope so that they include the fix...which makes it worth waiting...

the other reason might be Samsung is just testing the comptability of SGS2 hardware with the update OS... which is not gud enough for me....

The yellow shade on the left of display + the pink spot on camera...are purely samsung issues...and need addressing quickly
[Galaxy S II General] deanrparry:
Sorry but I was an original Nexus One owner... direct from the states and that suffered from this pink spot when taking a photo of white A4 sheet of paper... so this may be more widespread than you think... I would go as far as to say "most" handsets may have this issue but the bigger the handset, the more intense the scrutiny. As for the yellow tint.. i am just lucky...
[Galaxy S II General] mosd:
but its 3 files doesnt that mean wipe? do i have to use pit file?
[Galaxy S II General] painterceessie:
I flashed it.

Sorry for my comments earlier.

For those who ask wipe it everything I give the wrong answer.

You must extract the files,then you got three files,and then you have also the pitfile.In odin with one file repartition off.

With four files repartition on.

It wipes everything.

Backup first and then flash.

Sorry my mistake for giving not the right answers.
[Galaxy S II General] jvidia:
Diferences vs KE7?
[Galaxy S II General] painterceessie:
After a hour playing.

I can say there is no lag at all.

The homescreen button,the menus.

Everything with no lag,with ke7 the lag was there.

Batt stats,can tell later.

The phone is fast and smooth.

All I can say,flash this m****f*****r.

Samfirmware thank you very much for sharing.
[Galaxy S II General] jvidia:
"Only" speed/lag?

Image quality the same ?
[Galaxy S II General] obionenairobi:
Can someone make a little tutorial on how to upgrade to this firmware ?

Where can I download it from ?

Are you loosing root ?
[Galaxy S II General] painterceessie:
I see a lot of changes.

Just flash it m8.

And find out for your self.
[Galaxy S II General] TAEL:
I flashed to KF1. It's better than previous ROMs (KE7/KE8).

As mentioned by another user, many lags are gone. (such as lockscreen).
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
Why oh why can't people use the SEARCH function :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] painterceessie:
amen to that.:D
[Galaxy S II General] walda:
In the other thread someone mentioned that flashing the 3 files without repartition wiped his device...???
[Galaxy S II General] jojo2peter:
sry m8 but RTFM or GTFO

That's nonsense, probably he meant his contacts, but tell me, srsly, who doesn't save his contacts in google^^? And that the settings of android are gone is known!

Don't listen to the people, they say that every small setting/thing is " 'all' data".
[Galaxy S II General] nybreath:
As far as i was able to find the main difference between 233 and 234 is google talk video chat, maybe some bug fixes, if there want be anything samsung side there would be nothing really in 234, Im not excited about this update at all =(.
[Galaxy S II General] Mystical:
Can someone please tell me if flashing KF1 counts the download counter, and if it supports the Dutch language?
[Galaxy S II General] jojo2peter:
It is an official ROM, so it won't increase the counter.

Not even the Lite'ning ROM v1.0 increased it. These CWM Kernels gonna increase it!
[Galaxy S II General] painterceessie:
I just found another feature.

When the battery is full,you see on the left side a icoon.

Nice.

So, yesterday someone from samfirmwares was on here saying they had the 2.3.4 rom in testing and would be releasing it today.

Just wondering if that was just him being mistaken and infact this is the ROM he was talking about.
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
I think they were saying "new" firmware, not "2.3.4", but I may be mistaken.

In any case, this is the fw they were talking about yesterday.

Can anyone tell if the reception issues (packet data getting stuck, overall problems) are resolved?
[Galaxy S II General] Rovman:
Yeah, i just checked back to find his post

So what i understand is that they do have 2.3.4 but thats nto what he meant would be released.

So, what about the original rumour that samsung would officially be releasing 2.3.4 last week. Since that didn't happen, does anybody have any updates on that.

[Galaxy S II General] Mystical:

That is probably because you used a not proper CSC.
