No help from Kies

Hi friends-need help. Am a 67 yr old noob and guess will always remain one.

Have been wanting to update to latest update for s2--kl 1 from kf3 but after downloading software upto about 65-70% kies informs that my device can't be recognised. At the time of connecting data cable both pc and kies recognises my s2 9100(no g). Kies also asks to remove the battery and re insert and then boot from power switch and try again. At this time green logo of android is displayed on the mobile screen with a caution not to disconnect from target with 'download 'displayed. Is this normal?

The Samsung service centre guy told me that the data perforce will have to wiped out and then they can update--am in Chandigarh and they say they cant do it on line. This of course can be taken care of by backup but surely when I have an updated Kies and a reasonbly fast data connection online updating should be possible.

Will appreciate your assistance.

well at least you are trying to learn :D.

the easiest way you can do is to flash the KL1 firmware via Odin. The firmware and flashing instructions can be foundhere.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Try Odin it is better

Flashing Firmware with Odin

1. Just download the firmware version and extract the .tar or .tar.md5 file in the archive and save it somewhere

2. Reboot your phone to download mode.

To get download mode shut down the device. After it shuts off completely simultaneously press the Down volume key+ Home button + press the power button .

You should see a warning asking you to press volume up if you want to continue or volume down to cancel, press volume up. You are now in download mode!

3. Start Odin

4. Click on the PDA button and browse to the .tar or .tar.md5 file that you extracted in step 1

If the package has more than one .tar archive then they will be labelled with PDA, Phone/Modem and CSC. Just put them in the corresponding section of Odin

5. DO NOT PUT .PIT FILE AND DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TICK REPARTITION.

Should look like this screenshot

If the package has 3 files it should look like this:

6. Connect the USB cable and wait for the ID:COM section to turn yellow

7. Click start to flash

8. Do not disconnect the cable or turn off the device, it will reboot when it finishes.

You can Download ODIN from here http://www.multiupload.com/1RTGSE061G

You can Download KL1 (Indian Firmware) From here http://www.multiupload.com/7K8FL86IEQ

yeah saw it, but decided not to update , all the recent versions of siyah are giving much priority to governors. so waiting for some nice set of features.

the package is sealed right? then it should be ok :D , whats the cost mate? and how much speed are you getting in sd card test in android

I just recieved my GT-i9100 (international unlocked version) today. It came from Poland, through eXpansys USA. It has the 24 month warranty card with it, something many of the phones through Amazon did not have. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Any tips to what I absolutely need to have on this phone? I am not going to root the phone, just use it with stock android (not tamper with it).

Hm...this was an interesting read, maybe the craziness about AMOLED is going to get a little bit fade!

@bala- Nice score there, lets see how mine goes.
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
If rooted, you would have had, so many things to do with ur phone.But, because u are not willing to root, here are some suggestions:-

In my opinion, some hd games are must have on this phone.My personal fav is shadow gun, Modern Combat3, blood and glory, Asphalt6.

In normal games, fruit ninja and where's my water, and cut the rope are good.

If u don't like the layout of the touchwiz launcher, you can use go launcher(It has got soo many themes)

Also, do check samsung apps, once in a while, it has so many cool things to offer. Some of them are even paid in android market, but free in samsung apps. :)

Rest, its your choice, of what you wanna keep in your phone. Explore!!!

EDIT: The good old Angry Birds is also a must have, if u haven't already played.

Thx @Ravi for reminder!!
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
You forgot Angry Birds
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
i just tested, and got 5765, with speedmod kernel.

@Bala

you're right, the last few siyah releases have been governor focused and have had quite a few issues. I'm actually back to 2.6.1 and I finally broke the 2 day battery barrier. :) very happy with the phone right now. Btw, r u using the 360 launcher on criskelo 38? Also can you tell how to disable fancy rotation so I can go back to using crt off?
[Galaxy S II General] vkr15:
Yes i'm 67. And the junior doesn't bother me. Having served in the Army for 40 yrs and been a junior/senior at various stages of service is part of life.

I guess i was 4th time lucky with Kies. The updating to latest firmware took no more than 5 minutes with no issues whatsoever.

My deep appreciation to Mr. Ravi Teja for responding so promptly. I've saved that post for future reference --perhaps when ICS is officially released.

using any tweaks?

am not using 360 launcher, sticking with go launcher. crt off+ fancy animation is working good for me, i dont have the flipped screens when locking. If you want get rid of rotate animations anyway,

copy the following files from system\lib in the stock rom and replace the one in your phone

libsurfaceflinger.so

libsurfaceflinger_client.so

I am unable to access my phone settings after flashing siyah 2.6.x ...it used to work fine but i dont know where i messed up....further i tried void.echo and stock cf-root and am able to access the settings.

also its possible to access the settings during the first 5-8 seconds after a reboot,then after it just opens n closes..

I tried wiping the cache,dalvik....did'nt try a clean wipe though, won't have to if it can be sorted without doin so ...

can someone point me in the right direction....

Hey friends i have few queries..

I m on stock KL1. I want to root my phone so what should i do. I read about CF root few months ago so those steps are okay or is there any changes for new KL1 ROM.

Also my AOS % is always above 40-50. so how can i get rid of AOS bug.

I have seen siyah in many member's signature. what are advantages of using it.

And to remove AOS bug, i have to change kernel or rom ?

[Galaxy S II General] Hrithan2020:
Can you please share your settings? also your usage when the phone lasted 48 hrs.here is mine with over two and a hall hours of music and UV.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Yup it was sealed tight :) as soon as I got the package I wanted to check whether it was genuine, So searched net as to how and found out that 95% of flash drives and stuffs are counterfeit in online market. So found a guide as to test the authenticity. Prayed to god and everything showed it's genuine :D

Got the speed as below pic in android. No matter how much I try charging the value in 'SD speed increase' app I get the same speed. Any idea why its not getting increased?

Also anyone know an app which will show the actual progress, transfer speed and other details when copying files in android? The stock file manager just sucks. It does not show anything.

How could you forget dead space!! My fav game right now (but no time to play still in tutorials :p)

Also 'where's my water' is very addictive

Hey happy birthday! :D! Btw what's acs and aqs? :p

In my opinion, CheckROM with speedmod, or siyah kernel is very good.I have been using it from quite some time, and is very happy, with both performance and battery life.

Hyperdroid & Criseklo are also good roms.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Lol really? Who is this then? :what:

@Bala and others, what you think about hyperdroid ROM?
[Galaxy S II General] sandeep10:
This usually happens because after downloading, kies tries to install new usb drivers for the phone. So it hangs at that. Just restart your phone and restart kies and re-do the update, it will finish correctly as this time drivers are already installed and it connects properly.

Of course Odin is also there, but for people who like to remain stock (I am quite happy with it, especially after KL1) kies is easy enough. There are enough customisation options for us stock noobs.

Check this post:

Then check this image. Make sure you have the serial number and made in country name

Then try this app in the thread. It will test the capacity and stuffs. It took me 2.5 hours for the write and verification.

Link androidforums.com/gome-flytouch-3/345645-h2testw-1-4-detecting-counterfeit-flash-drives.html

Then lastly can you upload the pic of the cover in which memory card came? Front and back? So we can compare each others.

But seriously, that guys birthday is also today? That's how I came to know its your birthday lol. His name too Mr. Raviteja. Very much co incidence! :eek:

tried hyperdroid rom a few days back, the look is close to the stock rom and it seems like the customization are based on surgeons , so have to customize it manually. the one thing i love was most of the apps in that rom are multi dpi compatible.

btw did you tried the multi dpi dialer i posted a few pages back?(extracted from this rom), works great @ 160 dpi

Only Birthday is Co incidence not name because His name is Mr_Raviteja and Mine is Mr.Raviteja...1st my name was RavitejaHYD and I didn't like that name thought few different name but failed so tried FB and Twitter for names like I'm_Raviteja etc than on twitter saw this name so Copied it :p

How are u using the phone @ 160 dpi, isn't everyhting tooooooo small??

I am using 200, and still feel it is small!!!

Also any advantage of 160 dpi over 200?
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
oh okay. Gonna try it out the ROM one day.

Regarding the multi dpi dialer, saw the post now. But I'm on CheckROM, also I'm on ICS. Wouldn't it be problem if I replace it over an ICS theme?

I'm just too lazy to mod my phone these days :p

lol. Well this is really weird. I was following him thinking it was you. Then his bday and phone is same as yours. His age too lol. Then you both have the same profile pic tastes. Really weird. May be you two should get acquainted :p

Well just few minutes and you will get adjusted to it. You can use spare parts+ to increase only the text size. Apart from nice looking screen there is nothing else as advantage.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
nothing like advantage mate, its just the HD like feel you get(depends on the induviduals) ;), yeah one problem with 160 is it will look gr8, but the fonts are too small, you can increase the font size via spare parts to your desired size, now you get the same 160 dpi + better font size which is awesome !!

[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:

you can use that dialer, but it wont be themed, just a stock dialer with perfect sized buttons for 160 dpi.

No time time actually to Mod as in charging the files and stuffs that too with CheckROM. :p I haven't arranged my home screen properly from long time :p

You mean the screen shot of twitter? Yeah its in 160 and the texts and photos look completely out of alignment. Since 160 is the tab dpi and all the apps are optimized for tabs, why can't they display properly in GS2?

lol yeah actually if I remember last time you had dragon ball's Goku profile pic right? The twitter guy's too look the same :p
