[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
No need to do a factory reset for FW upgrade...But you need to do Factory Reset if you Downgrade FW...........No need to flash CSC

Hi everyone,

I am flashing the official firmware and odin gets stuck at boot.bin for almost 30 mins now.

What should I do...please guide.

I was on 2.3.6 stock before.
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
pull out battery, wait for 30 sec. insert battery, and start again flashing.

if you are using desktop pc, plugin USB in the main usb port

Hi Guys,

what is the difference between these CSC's??

India ODDKF3 CSC

India ODDKL1 CSC

I'm still running on ODDKF3. should i update to KL1???

Please help....

Thanks.

Sayem.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Nothing big, they are almost same.

Guys just installed the latest cm9 build. Surprised to see the hw playback issue is not fixed, read it was fixed some days back but doesn't seem to be:(
[Galaxy S II General] sayem_unlimited:
Isn't CSC related to network?
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
CSC related to Country and Modem related to Network
[Galaxy S II General] aashgaur:
it is fixed !!

EDIT: it only plays some formats not all ...
[Galaxy S II General] sayem_unlimited:
Yes, that's what i know.

But what is the difference between these CSC's??

India ODDKF3 CSC

India ODDKL1 CSC

I'm still running on ODDKF3. should i update to ODDKL1???
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
KF3 is a part of 2.3.3

DDKL1 is a part of 2.3.6

Edit: Your Sig. showing you are on European Rom, if you want Indian one flash xwkl1 2.3.6 with DDkl1 CSC
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
It is totally fixed. From gallery you can play mp4 and for formats like avi/mkv you can download vplayer and enable hw decoding. It'll work.

Guys,

Thanks to everyone, I finally flashed the new ICS firmware.

But whenever I try to put ON the Wifi, it just does nothing. Why is it so? Anyone facing the same issue.

And I keep getting the software update notification? How to get rid of it?

---------- Post added at 11:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 AM ----------

Sorry, my bad. The Wifi works now..took a long time to start for the first time.

Btw, how to get rid of the software update notification? Please guide.
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
setting>apps>all>software update app, there are two apps. Select green one and disable it
[Galaxy S II General] sayem_unlimited:
Yes, i used Frankenstein ROM.

Could you confirm me whether Official XWKLI is stable and non-wipe version?

I'll definitely go for this one than..

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
XWKL1 is very much stable rom, frankenstein Rom is not available for download. Megaupload sucks. Only Sammobile is the source for official rom now.

If you have rooted your phone, Try custom rom based on XWKL1
[Galaxy S II General] deathfrag:
Thanks a lot @kachrukamble.

Where can i get the change-log or the things that have changed since GB to ICS?
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Go to wiki

[Galaxy S II General] sayem_unlimited:
Thanks. Could you give me the link for Sammobile? And yes i'm rooted. And have installed Mobile Odin Pro. Usb Jig is not available here. So can't use CF-Root method. And i'm new to all these stuffs. Please guide me a little...

I will just give u that when i m on pc

AOSP gallery supports less formats

Use mobo player

Sent from my GT-I9100 on Official ICS!
[Galaxy S II General] sayem_unlimited:
Thanks i'm downloading the official one you gave me. But could you be more specific about the custom ROM based on this!!!
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
I used Checkrom & Criskelo V 38.

I liked Criskelo V 38 very much. It is based on same xwkl1 Indian Rom.

Super smooth and good performance..

If you want to flash this Rom just download the zip file and flash in CWM.

Before flashing do wipe data/factory reset, wipe Cache and dalvik cache. then flash it
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Advanced Video Codec with High@L4.1 are not yet hw supported yet. still the same old mx player with sw playback.
[Galaxy S II General] atulalvenkar:
IIRC AOSP supports only H.264, Samsung supports a lot more natively. Try using Mobo or MX Player with codec pack installed for hardware acceleration.

CM won't be able to support formats that Samsung supports due to codec licensing issues.
[Galaxy S II General] sayem_unlimited:
Okay thanks..

But if i do wipe than how do i get back all my stuffs... though i have titanium Backup installed.

And what about ICS???
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
You can restore your backup with TB.

ICS:confused::confused: waiting for stable custom ICS from leading devs.

I flashed lpj Rom last night seems improved, Before that used lph, and other previous leak.

IMO theses ICS rom meant for those who flashes Rom regularly, and I am tired of flashing Roms:)
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
tried wanamlite ics rom, looks and feels good, give it a try when u r free.
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Ok, will try at Night.

Bala, My main disappointment with ICS is Telephony. ICS really messed up things..
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
atulalvenkar is correct

Codeworkx said CM9 will have only AOSP codecs

[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:

It requires custom ICS Rom

Hi,

I flashed the latest ICS - LPQ using Mobile Odin, with full data wipe

Seems to be working fine, except that it seems slightly jerky

Battery seems to drain more compared to earlier GB

Earlier I was on KL1 (GB). Is it necessary or advisable or safe to flash KL1 modem? What is the compatibility with this ICS version? I heard that KL1 is better for battery.

I think KL1 was the last official Samsung update for India.

Please advise ...

Sanjay
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
Even I am trying out. Downloaded v7 now downloading neon one. Will tell ya. Though in description it says download when Mx player asks you.

Edit: It can't decode avi files with HW. Vplayer is best option for me.

Did you check xplodwild's twitter account? He's been doing great with the kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Try Mobo also......
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
yeah gr8 progress, soon we can see it in action:cool:

battery drain is not related with modem. We need good kernel support.

i missed all the ics release hipe coz all these three days from saturday i was out of active surfing of internet

But i was aware that some roms like LPQ released

Need to flash it

I have some strange prob with galaxy s2

When making a call there is a delay of 5-7sec before outgoing call is actually getting connected,and out going UI apperanance

this 5-7 sec is after i swap a call log entry or contact entry to right or touch the dial icon

and when i reciveing inocming call i was unable to answer it or reject with a swipe

its really annoying

I am getting an old feeling o f hanging from symbian

I am not the only one facing the same ,some felleow users has this weird prob

btw i have huuuge call log entry

you get an idea how this porb looks like by seeing a video

this is problem happeing with 2-3 calls out of 10calls

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xFwb-fKwaI

any known solutions to it
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Maybe it is because of huge call log.....From when this started?
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
it was there since 3 weeks,its more pronounced now

But I really disappointed with like s of galaxy s2 with best hardware on board,failing and hanging like this is really really unacceptable

I think android is showing real shortcomings,if this happens with GB and ICS (shown in the video),.,and that too on the best smartphone android mated till date.., may be google and samsung should take this seriously:o:o

If i mail samsung about,they simply advice me to take my phone to service centre,and service centre people will simply white wash my phone,with a full wipe of whole phone memory,and say to me sir "now problem is solved" :mad::mad:

[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Just in case if anyone doesn't know

The kernel xplodwild is building will give these benefits:

1:If any new android version comes out we don't have to wait for official Samsung release and then kernel sources for fully functional cm

2:It will be a pure AOSP kernel and without Samsung crap(that means a gnex kernel fully clean without any bloatware and dependencies)

3:It will have its own sources then no need to wait for Samsung sources

4:Always updated to latest and greatest kernel(as new android version comes,new kernel version comes,with an old kernel only some stuff work

For eg.2.3 comes with 2.35 or 2.37 kernel version and 4.0 with 3.0+ kernel version

Till now we had to wait for Samsung ics leak with newer kernel to get cm9 but with this updated kernel we don't need Samsung leak for cm9)

5:If Samsung stops supporting this phone then kernel becomes the main reason for stuff not working but here will will have latest kernel by xplodwild so no need to worry

But first he need to get everything working in kernel side like now only touch sd card and small things work with that kernel

Oh that was just a joke as right here you ask about the brightness thing and AP made a blog entry and man I don't know why I mentioned your Internet speed!

Well to the point, I have tried the swipe notification to adjust the brightness in CM9. The build I used was the very first nightly. Have they removed it now?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
ok.......How can I say that when I don't know where that option is.
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
