S2 to Note

Hi Guys ! i read this thread of Indian SGS2 daily and get enlightened. Now i m using SGS2 since 1 month and quite satisfied. Yeasterday i went To Trade fair at Pragati Maidan and used Galaxy Note for Some time. Its really Awesome. It nearly bridges the gap in phone and tablet. i m getting this one from SULEKHA.COM for 28k !!!!!!!.

Whats the opinion of the Esteemed Thread members. I have 2 options----

1. Sell SGS2 for say approx 24k and go for Note and stop carrying HP DM1 11.6 inches to My clinic.

2. Continue with SGS2 for few time and wait for SGS3 or something like that.

My main use is some internet surfing and some medical sites for Drug dosages and complications of diseases.

I will go with the members advice for sure.... (Like KBC Voting )
[Galaxy S II General] virani_joush:
@drjamit.. I think you should buy transformer prime tablet... What say?? You can carry it, it's portable, light and powerful..

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Ok just double click on it(.exe file).It will self extract the tar/md5 file.Now in PDA of odin select the .tar or .md5 file and flash.Now,after flashing i am damn sure your 3G will work.But,if it doesnt then download the CSC file for india and flash.Now,enjoy !!
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
@drjamit

If you need a larger screen you can go for note, and @28k its a good deal. Apart from screen and size no difference between these two either in speed or in performance.

If you want something better than s2 you can wait for s3

Will the CSC of India work with a Netherlands ROM ? And whats up with this KERNEL link below the firmware ? How & where do I use that in Odin ?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Yes CSC of India will work with a Netherlands ROM ..Kernel is used if you are rooted and want to go back to stock
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Or if you want to remove the yellow triangle..if you have rooted using insecure kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] rajarshi10:
I haven't done anything. Just bought it yesterday. But want 2.3.5 on my phone. Do I need to root ? Is it compulsory or just by flashing it'll work? I will put in the mda file on Odin & the Indian CSC & then press start... right ? Anything else?

P.S Thanks a lot for your help till now. Please clear a few more doubts & I'll be very grateful to everyone :)
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Please slow down...you have not read enough in the intratech thread i guess..Ok now before starting to flash,read intratech's forum..plzz sincere request..otherwise there will be another thread saying "bricked my phone" :(

I am quoting one line from intratech "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" If not then just put the file you extracted in PDA section and flash.After booting once check your 3G.If still problem is there which i dont think will be there.Again put in download mode and flash CSC for India.

And,please read this.Keep this as your bookmark. :)

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

And yes you dont require root to flash :)
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Compulsory? LOL, No. In that case it will be mentioned on the box that please root the device ;)

But yes, it is compulsory for me :)

Not mda file, put the .tar file in PDA section, (I guess it's a typo), and yes, CSC in CSC section. Hit Start. Wait few minutes.

Market 3.3.12 Changelog:
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
No need to root for trying 2.3.5 :) Yes just put .tar in PDA and Indian CSC in CSC and click start......I would suggest wait for some days and learn how to flash what will happen if it went wrong (Bootloop problem) and what to do after Downgrading from a FW..I took 1 month time to read and understand them clearly for trying different FW and 4 months to root.

[Galaxy S II General] Gowind:
guys seriously need some help. last night i lost my network and when i checked, saw that my imei was missing. i have a few EFS backups from siya and Batista Foxhound rom. i tried to restore them using a tool called efs pro. it says successfully flashed my backup but i see that half of the files in the backup folder are missing in the \system\efs folder. my imei number has also changed to a new one and still no network.

does anybody know how to restore the efs backup( .tar.gz, made by siyah). tried to odin it but odin doesn't recognize the backup.
[Galaxy S II General] rajarshi10:
And one final problem. I cant use Android Market with WIFI on 2.3.3. Will it be solved if I flash to 2.3.5 ??? This is why I am rushing to do it.
[Galaxy S II General] OrrPenn18:
If I will tell you, go to ODIA ... ASAP! He is one genius and is a pro when it comes to IMEI number restore! :D

Bdw aren't you the Mr. Miyagi from Batista's thread? :p Miyagi or sumthing like that! :D
[Galaxy S II General] Gowind:
hahaha, thats what they call me bro, what to do. :D :D :D. by the way all is well now. i thought it was doom's day for me :eek:

i had the efs backup, but was unable to replace it in system as root explorer wouldnt let me do that. no r/w in efs folder ypu see. from last night around 9, till now i am in front of the computer, tried so many things, nothing has worked out and you know what happened at last. saw blade buddy in one of the folders. never have i used it before. it has an option to mount system RW. did that, went to root explorer, replaced the efs with one of the backups, rebooted, didn't work.

again went to another backup and replaced it, rebooted it and...

and...

and....

voila...... everything is back...

so there is nothing like 2012 ok :D no doom's day.

by the way that efs **** has happened out of nowhere. if it can happen to me, it can happen to everyone. so make sure you backup your efs and get a blade buddy.
[Galaxy S II General] OrrPenn18:
Aah, I also had my IMEI unknown once, I flashed another rom, MIUI :p and all was well! Phew! I know the Doom's Day feeling Miyagi! ;p

Hope to join in with you and saggy boobs! Hahaha! EPIC! :D

Well i have gone through that thread ahmm more than 10 times.....but the thing is people are recommending different kernels ....What i want is the one suitable for Indian phone for example somebody told me "i recommend XXKI4 modem because it has many compatible themes/kernel/costum rom".....but i see people here using different kernel.....and any difference between stock and generic kernel......i am asking this as my phone is having issues since last night with wi-fi not working (unable to get ip address) and battery draining fast.....

Should i go for XWKE8, XWKJ3 or XWKDD (as it states DD is for India) and whats with different I have installed the kernel through ODIN before it is just that now i am confused which file exactly to use.....

EFS Backup

Guys, I've noticed quite a few posts about imei problems and now there's a post on this thread too. Just wondering how often I need to backup my EFS? Is it a one time thing or do I have to do it periodically. I have made one proper backup which is sitting safely on my PC. This was done just after I rooted for the first time. Is this one backup enough or do I need to keep doing it?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
even I have same problem....It is a net problem no problem with mobile...Give sometime for download it will start

---------- Post added at 10:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------

when ever you flash a Different Custom Kernel do a backup of EFS
[Galaxy S II General] jit_devil2:
isnt one efs backup enough?

if something goes wrong just flash that backup and you are up n runnin?
[Galaxy S II General] OrrPenn18:
I did a backup when I bought the phone, the very same day! :D

And, then, by flashing some custom ROMs over here, they simply backup the folder on each flash :) So, I have loads of IMEI backups in /sdcard/EFS_BACKUP

Not yet din try it ..... will do after 2-3 days had a really busy schedule last 3-4 days as well :(

You can try and switch to a newer firmware ....... no one can garuntee it ..... this may be resolved with a newer version of market 3.0 and above which comes stocked with 2.3.5 ....... maybe some default settings have been messed up who knows ...... you can always flash back to the ROM of your choice .... i would suggest go ahead and flash newer firmware ....... if it still does'nt work factory wipe phone ... if it still doesn't work .... well come to us we'll talk about other possible solutions.........

I'm using the same with 2.3.5 din try the video option but vaise it works fine .....

[Galaxy S II General] naturist:
Go to settings-apps-manage apps-all-market, remove the cache or uninstall it. reboot and try again.
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
There is no kernel as such ....... what you get is the entire firmware with the kernel embedded into it ........ the stock kernel link provided below is for people who want to root ......... if you choose a non-wipe version no you don't ...... the firmwares provided in intratech's thread are non-wipe where ever it's wipe he has specified ........ use the KJ3 stock ROM ....... extract the tar ball and specify that file in odin where you specify the PDA leave the rest blank i believe that is specified in the flash guide on intra's thread here

Cool. Thanks for the link. But one thing I do not understand is that how come an OLDER version of GTalk is Video Calling enabled and the Latest version (that comes with KJ3) not enabled? Doesn't make any sense.
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
Nope neither ...... GTalk with video for the international S2 is still in testing ....... with leaked testing firmwares released online ppl have ripped off APK which was actually an internal dev frimware meant for samsung engineers only ...... most of the firmwares we use are dev versions hence the lagging issues, crashes and other bugs ........ that is why the people crib for a firmware release specific for their region because they are supposed to be production releases and much more stable and less buggy.
[Galaxy S II General] sunny_ag:
You mean to say i can only select PDA in odin and rest all blank. It will keep the default.
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
I'm saying whenever you download firmware from Itratech's links they provide you with an exe which is self extracting ....... extracting that will get you a <XYZ>.tar file ......... since it is a single file and contains all the 3 PDA/CSC/MODEM ..... for flashing fashing it just select the same in the PDA selection in odin ....... and flash away
