Hmmm... I wonder if I flash everything but the CSC, would I retain my old CSC?

I currently have the XEU CSC from the KG1 firmware (stock and rooted). I also if this would wipe my data. I have a feeling it is a "yes" since Odin is more like a HDD imager, while CWM is more like replacing files.
[Galaxy S II General] edem84:
LAGS !!!

Do you have lag on the home, so I ????
[Galaxy S II General] tylerdurden83:
Can anyone tell me if flashing this official firmware would void the warranty?
[Galaxy S II General] Universeal:

When i press the home key it loading very fast not like the other versions.

Pink spot is gone

Am curious as to what advantage is there in using XEUKD1 CSC over the one that came with this firmware?
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
AMAZING, thank you!

This is going to go on my phone as soon as the download is finished :D
[Galaxy S II General] bisat:
really ?!?!

:D flashing now !!!

and crossing finger for a new rooted kernel....

battery leak is there or is gone with the pink spot ?
[Galaxy S II General] DJTaurus:
Why?....read previous posts for root instructions ;)
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
Compared to KG1, what's your thoughts on KG2?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
KG2 is more refined, smoother and feels like a release version. Gtalk video works. I believe what I have is the package that will be released via KIES.
[Galaxy S II General] Swisha7:
last time i flashed, i used the frankenstein KF2 package from ur thread.

what happens if i flash the stock KG2 u put up?
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
Cool, thanks for the feedback
[Galaxy S II General] alesscam:
OS Android no sucks.....only 22% on Battery use
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It will be updated to XXKG2??
[Galaxy S II General] kickassdave:
Having trouble finding a link to just the modem to download (I'm on my phone). Could someone please link me up? Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] Swisha7:
will the csc change to OXA?
[Galaxy S II General] :
can anyone verify if exchange calender sync is wokring ok.

for me the sync here never gets finished. with KG1 this was working as expected.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yes but you can just flash the CSC with one from the firmware thread after flashing this firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] jj03:
gonna wait til the kies release i think...also waiting to read more of people's impressions about battery life etc.
[Galaxy S II General] antoniomistretta:
Me too! :p

When change the wallpaper.

Edit:

Now no lag in home. :)
[Galaxy S II General] quinhas_35:
Hello,

I'm using KF3 with CSC XEU... That's a official firmware? Can i update my sgs2 via kies? Thanks a lot...
[Galaxy S II General] thelestat:
Calendar sync works fine form me on stock kg1
[Galaxy S II General] :
ok to be more specific.

it's working ok on H/3G connections. on WIFI it's trying permanently to sync.
[Galaxy S II General] cseyfe:
intratech i have kg1 rooted. if i flash with your non-wipe version above, do i keep all applications, contacts and everything? or will i lose them?
[Galaxy S II General] kinder__bueno:
Guys i´m getting a Confirm password after flashing with odin... anyone else?

I tried cm7 before, but don´t believe it´s related...

Update, just type error passwords until 16 carachteres and you should be good to go... Strange thing... never saw it.
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
Password: intratech@XDA
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It's whatever you use as your lock screen password.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It's non-wipe so by definition it will not wipe anything off the device. You will need to re-root it though.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
One neat feature that Samsung have added is the ability to adjust the time limit when the screen turns off until the device is locked and requires the pin to unlock it.
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
Oops, my bad
[Galaxy S II General] adesirello:
In a Flash by Odin this Rom, that brings the 3 files (PHONE - PDA - CSC) is also necessary to place the file. Pit and check Re-partition in Odin?
[Galaxy S II General] mach0boi:
Put it only on phone and leave everything as is. :) dont check repartition and pit.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Er, you don't ever need to use a .pit file or repartition a device unless you messed up the partition table.
[Galaxy S II General] knightnz:
Will a firmware for the Galaxy S2 work with Galaxy S2? Yeah, pretty sure...
[Galaxy S II General] adesirello:
Thanks friend!
[Galaxy S II General] ashok:
so when will a custom rom from you based on KG2 will be available
[Galaxy S II General] bernard134:
Can i just flash the XXKG2 with only PDA and Phone without changing my current Singapore CSC, which mean Odin i only select two files the PDA and Phone to flash.

Is that possible?

Hope some people will help me please! First time flashig my SGS II athough i flash many many times with odin with my old SGS
[Galaxy S II General] hotsync100:
Should I unfreeze the apps with tb before flash your non-wipe version?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
No, no need to. Just flash.
[Galaxy S II General] heldchen:
i've flashed the non-wipe version over KG1. during the update, it was reported that XEU was not found. now *#1234# reports "CSC: Unknown". how bad is that? the telephony seems to work just fine, and i kinda do not want to set up everything again :-)
[Galaxy S II General] plau13:
can i flash this if i'm running liten'ing 2.2 (KG1)?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
No biggie, if you want you can flash the XEUKD1 csc from the firmware thread in the dev forum in the CSC section of Odin.
[Galaxy S II General] ravian29:
non wipe link is dead...... any re-uploads ?
[Galaxy S II General] tasty_boy:
same error here, please help!!
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Sorry lads, I re-uploaded the file with a proper label (OXA) to help me differentiate between the firmwares with the file manager. Here is the new link: http://www.multiupload.com/8MNPULDDNB
[Galaxy S II General] ravian29:
so is it non wipe ? for non wipe, is there anything different than wipe rom ? or both are same ?:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] heldchen:
thanks alot for your help!
[Galaxy S II General] avetny:
Guys sorry I didn't get it is it official 2.3.4?

Thank you !
[Galaxy S II General] bernard134:
I am getting an CSC unknow issue due to the CSC file,

Where can i download my Singapore CSC of OLBKE5
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yes it's non-wipe. I don't think there is any difference apart from the way they were packaged. The version that Darky posted in a low package which wipes the device whilst the version I got is a non-wipe version which seems to be packaged the way they would package it for Kies. They have the same build date and based on the screenshots of the Darky version they seem to be identical.
[Galaxy S II General] ravian29:
yes official but leaked not released in kies yet...
[Galaxy S II General] bernard134:
Where is the firmware thread in the dev forum in the CSC section of Odin?

I am looking for Singapore CSC of OLBKE5
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Samfirmware has it I think. I'm getting a version of this firmware shortly as well.
[Galaxy S II General] ravian29:
mate you rock...
[Galaxy S II General] ravian29:
another question, what if i update my modem with non wipe Rom, is there any chances to lose my data ?:confused: or its good to go ?
[Galaxy S II General] bernard134:
I am downloading the whole firmware from samfirmware, but in xda forum, any where already have this CSC to flash via Odin? So i can just flash as i am going to be late for school if i am waiting for the super slow hotfile to download finish.

They should upload to Megaupload instead. :(
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
I got the CSC:Unkown thing too, but couldn't really care less as long as everything works.

Aren't the CSCs onyl used for setting some defaults like bookmarks and stuff anyways?

Well, yeah, and for Kies to know what updates to looks for, but who uses Kies.... :D
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Try flashing again with the new non-wipe linked version.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I'm getting the firmware as a single file .tar package right now and will upload it later tonight.
[Galaxy S II General] avetny:
I just flashed and its' excellent
[Galaxy S II General] sm98:
the darky xxkg2 has a multi csc tar file included for the *#272*xxxx# multi csc select, csc does end up being oxakg2 from the *#1234# screen

does it make a difference? the sales code package installed as xeu with the multi on mine

says xeu, xeo, xef, kor, itv, dbt, cpw on the multi csc screen
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
A new non-wipe one, or the non-wipe one? Has the non-wipe one being updated?

'cos I flashed using the non-wiping one, but grabbed the link quite soon after it was posted.... :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] Devowa:
I'm totally lost.

First of all, I'm in Japan. but phone is UK version(Bought it at clove)

Because of Japan is not in the list of "Available Region" for this firmware,

I should just flash XXKF2?

Or, can I use Multi-CSC whitch is included in XXKF2 or some others?(maybe port from Japanese version' firmware?)

Sorry for noob question..

I'm new to Samsung device, I'm currently using Desire until I understand device.. I don't wanna messed up with APN thing, too..

Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] avetny:
dude I just flashed and im in USA ! and wrking better than my original !! relax flash you will like !
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Try with the new link.
[Galaxy S II General] avetny:
Oh guys looks like Browser with HW acceleration ?! is it true?
[Galaxy S II General] Devowa:
Thanks. Yeah It must be better than the any old FWs.

But like those CSC issue makes me nervous.

Still not sure what is csc though.

If I use wrong APN, I lose unlimited data plan. I would have to pay like 2000USD.

That's why I worried about this CSC thing(It's totally new. I guess it's sorta Radio on HTC's phones)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
For the bloke needing the OLBKE5 CSC package: http://www.multiupload.com/Q3KX2A7XV1
[Galaxy S II General] avetny:
oh than be careful?
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
Yeah the browser is hardware accelerated because the rom is not deodexed.

Any of the 2.3.4 kernels will work.
[Galaxy S II General] avetny:
jlevy73 you alwayse here!!! thank you brother !!
[Galaxy S II General] ludalex07:
That's a dumb question.
[Galaxy S II General] krazykat:
For the non-wipe file, how do you flash it to the phone? Sorry first time doing it this way. Thanks so much!
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
HOW TO FLASH

Put the files like this in Odin:

PDA : CODE_I9100XXKG2_CL375027_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.m d5

PHONE : MODEM_I9100XXKG2_REV_02_CL1037208.tar.md5

CSC : GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKG2.tar.md5

Then flash.
[Galaxy S II General] krazykat:
Yeah odin stuff I get, but there was only one file coming in Intratech's non-wipe version. If you open that file, there are files like "modem.bin"?
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
The newly uploaded OXA_XXKG2 and suposingly non-wipe version just.... wiped my data! :eek:

Well, made a backup, as prior to any flashing, so meh :p

But be carefull if you don't wanna loose yours.
[Galaxy S II General] krazykat:
Sorry. Nvm.

Referred to:

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

@Intratech's Guide

For those that were lost like me. T__T"
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Seriously? What CSC were you using before? If it changed CSC that could explain it.
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
Yep you're good to go. Intratech's guide is extremely well written.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Just put it in the PDA section of Odin and flash, no .pit or repartition.
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
Yes, it did install a (new?) CSC when it hopped into the recovery after the first reboot (first version didn't do that).

Old CSC was either XEU or DBT, can't recall exactely right now, but was one of those two, can tell exactely after the restore finished :)
[Galaxy S II General] ravian29:
guys i am unable to root it, i have flashed XWKDD_insecure but super one click says "waiting for device" and does nothing but wait.......... any help ?
[Galaxy S II General] krazykat:
First impressions; faster performance overall in Android OS. Will see if the Android OS will eat battery tomorrow.
[Galaxy S II General] SimplyD:
Darkyrom based on KG2 is promised for tomorrow. :D
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Make sure you have usb debugging enabled and you don't have kies or Odin running.
[Galaxy S II General] tasty_boy:
lol, the non-wipe version wiped my phone...

so sad!!!

lost everythin ://
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I'll have a look at the package, maybe I uploaded the wrong one.:eek:
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
@Intratech:

CSC before the wiping was XAKG1 set to DBT

Keep 'em comming, there's plenty of room left in my FW collection corner :D
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
DAMN! I'm sorry guys, I uploaded the wrong package. The one in the link is a wipe package. Am uploading the non-wipe one now. :(:(:(:(:(
[Galaxy S II General] keijames:
Do you have the feature list and change log compare with last version ?

you are not releasing new ROM without what in the ROM right ?

cheers

[Galaxy S II General] sdoc96:
Hmmm - thanks for the heads-up. I'm a DBT and was just about to flash.

Will hold off now.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Uploading the correct package lads, 20 minutes to go.

Looks like a new OXA CSC XXKG2 ROM....official, unofficial....who cares....a new 2.3.4 rom....can't wait....and let's not forget the history: XXKF2 with OXA, XXKG1 with OXA, the best roms till now...so the fututre is indeed bright:D
[Galaxy S II General] menimus:
oh

And I thought it was some of your custom ROMs, I used em all on my i9000, superb work.. I guess I'm gonna have to stick to stock firmware on my new i9100, which is cool tho, but never cooler than Darky Dev Crew's work.

Samsung is doing really good on leaking ROM.....

Looking at samfireware.com you will think that is the official Samsung web site, unfortunately it is not.

By the way, can anyone definite what is the difference of 2.3.3 -> 2.3.4 in general ?
[Galaxy S II General] Flash_Gordon:
OK...according to Intratechs fantastic Flashing & Rooting Guide.....I am supposed to re-root after updating the ROM.

Where do I find the latest files of the following?

Insecure Kernel (Quick Root Guide - Step 1)

SuperOneClick (Quick Root Guide - Step 2)

Stock Kernel (Quick Root Guide - Step 10)

Any suggestions/help, etc? Or can I use the previous Files (as above) I used to root a couple of months ago?

Note: Phone is already rooted at the moment and about to update to Android 2.3.4

Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
I used an insecure KG1 kernel for rooting - shouldn't really matter as you just keep it running long enough to root and toss it afterwards anyways.

Not sure what the newest version of SuperOneClick is, I apply the root manually via ADB.

But the versions floating around here in the forum should all work.

Stock kernel comes with the FW (duh' xD) but a seperate .tar should be available in Intratech's FW thread in the dev section.

If not can i upload mine.
[Galaxy S II General] mcv83:
Hi,

I've installed a rom with CWN (I usually use ODIN) and now I'd like to try this one, but Odin don't recognize my phone anymore...

Do you know what should I do to get back to a "normal" mode?

Thanks for your help ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] razorpixel:
Can i use Chanfire XXKG1 to root this firmware ?
[Galaxy S II General] _JKay_:
Changes found so far:

Added: FM radio controls on lock screen. (but I guess its layout will change... should have been at the top... )

Usually they only tell about changes if they fix serious bugs...
[Galaxy S II General] ravian29:
JKay any news about your stock rom mode ? i am daying to have it on KG2:)
[Galaxy S II General] Flash_Gordon:
OK....now I am really confused....links, broken links....numerous non-wipe/wipe files....lol

For a slow person like me....could someone please list (non-wipe type) files for

A) Inserting into Odin for FW 2.3.4 update

and

B) to re-rooting after FW update.

Mine is a UK phone......

Many Thanks for your patience....

[Galaxy S II General] auswill2:
If I wanted my default language to be Chinese, is there anyway to do this? Would flashing this with a HK CSC work?
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
Yep, works, I just tried :)

But you should flash back to stock KG2 kernel after your system is rooted, for consistancy sake.

CF will release a XXKG2 CF-Root shortly, I'd guess. Until then, a "normal" root should do the job just fine :)

I haven't tried Intratech's last upload yet, but that's the one supposed to not wipe:

For rooting see beginning of this post, just flash a CF-Root, let it work it's magic and flash back to stock XXKG2 kernel for the time being.
[Galaxy S II General] Scared27:
I just had a look and the FM radio controls are at the top on the lock screen.
[Galaxy S II General] Scared27:
I guess the reason mine wiped was because it was the wrong one, not because I flashed a half firmware :P (don't ask).

edit: Gah, there needs to be a delete button so I can merge two posts and remove one.

Hi Guys

Since I flashed this firmware my signal seems to be staying solid on H and not yoyoing between 3g and H

can anybody else confirm this ?? I will post again at end of day if it has been consistent as this looks promising :D
[Galaxy S II General] JohnnyGiangNguyen:
why dont have a Vietnamese version.... :((
[Galaxy S II General] Scared27:
I'm getting H+ at work which is amazing, I've never seen the phone stay on H+ for more than half a second. I would love it if I could get a H+ signal all the time.
[Galaxy S II General] Flash_Gordon:
This is why I am confused.....the first post lists the files, so (and this is what I meant in my original/second post about someone listing the latest required files):

<snip>

Put the files listed like this in Odin:

PDA : CODE_I9100XXKG2_CL375027_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5

PHONE : MODEM_I9100XXKG2_REV_02_CL1037208.tar.md5

CSC : GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKG2.tar.md5

Then flash.

The downloaded file contained the following....Included files:

CODE_I9100XXKG2_CL375027_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5

GT-I9100-CSC-HOME-MULTI-OXAKG2.tar.md5

GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKG2.tar.md5

KERNEL_I9100XXKG2_CL375027_REV02_user_low_ship.tar .md5

MODEM_I9100XXKG2_REV_02_CL1037208.tar.md5

<snip>

Intratechs NON-Wipe file I just downloaded is named......

GT-I9100_OXA_I9100_XXKG2_I9100OXAKG2_I9100XXKG2.tar

(no md5...?)

What line does that go in Odin.....PDA? Phone? or CSC?

Also - there were 5 included files in the original download.....what are the other 2 files for?

[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
So is this 100% stock and official KG2?

No darky ROM branding?
[Galaxy S II General] malavan:
where can i finde wipe mode is it from samfirmware.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Stock deodexed themed slim version - 238 MB

FLASH IN CWM, NOT IN ODIN

​

I have created a deodexed version of the rom for my use with the following changes. You are welcome to try it till Master Darky releases his version.

Deodexed/Zipaligned

Non wipe edition ( you retain apps )

Slim ( removed unwanted Samsung apps )

Included cf-root kernel KG1

Included stock modem

Crt + Overscroll Effects + battery mod

Themed ( ported litepro black theme with miui status bar icons )

Included maps app with universal navigation

I am trying to get the extended menu working, but there are a lot of changes in android.policy.jar. So i need to learn how to get it working first.

A few screenshots.

You can download it from here.

The apps that i removed can be found here. These are just a zip of the removed apps, not flashable format.
[Galaxy S II General] earthdome:
what i noticed on my phone:

1) CPU time for Android OS is still high but less than before. KF3: 10 min/hour, KG2: 7 min/hour.

2) Battery life seems better and lost less juice during idle. KE7: 2%/hour, KF3: 1,2%/hour, KG2: 0,8%/hour

3) Finally clock position at lockscreen (wallpaper lockscreen) is back at where it should be. And now it looks in place.

4) Coming from KF3, i noticed that i can just tap the Picture Frame widget to change picture. I had to remove 1st before.

5) Feels smoother.

6) Wake up lag still present.
[Galaxy S II General] jcompagner:
I don't think that should really happen,H+ should really be in that mode when needed when you transfer data. At least that was how my previous phone did work

I think that constantly in the fastest mode will drain battery
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
100% stock = yes

official = well.... it's leaked, but made by Samy, yeah

no darky branding = yes, it's original stock SGS2 ROM

AFAIK this hasn't made it onto samfirmware yet.

But the one in the first post of this thread, posted by Darkyy, does a full wipe on install.
[Galaxy S II General] nba:
Yeah, the banding still there. Specially the agenda widget color is a bit annoying.
[Galaxy S II General] ravian29:
amazing where are the download links ?
