My previous request seems to have been lost in translation somewhere lol... Do we have a separate cwm flushable zip for the new kg2 modem yet?
[Galaxy S II General] badmania98:
The only non European language is the producer language. It is an EU firmware. I Think.:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
@sileshn

Do you have a non themed version ?
[Galaxy S II General] badmania98:
I agree. Worse than KG1.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Uploading. Will take some time. My upload speed is only 1mbps.
[Galaxy S II General] gavinlew:
Hi,

Should Heimdall 1.3 be able to flash this rom successfully?

I've extracted the .zip file, then tar'd the .md5 files up - Heimdall reports firmware.xml is missing.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] :
Meaning, stock or stock with hacks ( crt+overscroll+battery mod )?
[Galaxy S II General] jerome.d:
You cannot simply put an Odin package in Heimdall, you have to do it step by step: de-tar all the files ("md5" is misleading, these are plain tar files which can be de-tared), take a pit file (from samfirwmare for example), load it in the "flash" tab of Heimdall and then manually add each file (zImage for Kernel, etc: read the example of firmware.xml given in Heimdall's Readme to see which file goes where).

I think I'll try this later on (but I'll probably put back the KG1 CF-root kernel to have root easily - I don't think I want to delve into superoneclick right now).
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
I mean no liteblack theme, but with the overscrol+crt+battery
[Galaxy S II General] cicku:
thx 4 sharing！！！！
[Galaxy S II General] ravian29:
great, waiting...
[Galaxy S II General] chobie:
Recalibrate your battery first before complaining about battery life since you're flashing a new ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] :
how to recalibrate without root?
[Galaxy S II General] :
No problem. I will send you a seperate zip file with the non themed apps alone. I will use the stock battery but with %'s.
[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
Just upgraded to KG2 from KG1 and it definitely feels much smoother! Will check out the battery performance now.

[Galaxy S II General] Buyukbaba:
I flashed my phone yesterday evening but I have a language problem in e-mails. I see Turkish characters as (?) or with their specific iso codes.

Although this FW had Turkish language, I guess this problem occured because of the region of the firmware. I have no problems with seeing correct characters in text messages etc..

Is this problem something else, or should I wait for a firmware including Tr area? Additionally, should I completely flash my phone or only kernel on PDA? I am noob, sorry.
[Galaxy S II General] eug:
Easy - just root it. :)

The superoneclick method works, and so would cf-root I imagine.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Done. Check original post.
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
Just fully charge and fully discharge again (without charging or plugging to USB in between) maybe two or three times.
[Galaxy S II General] ravian29:
cheers mate..

does Darky do the same work ? means will he use the same theme and style, you used ? or he does with different theme ?
[Galaxy S II General] TheMegastar:
Hi Intratech! Pls answer clear my following doubts:

1. So you're saying we don't need to download Darky's file in the first post of this thread (311.71MB), and we can flash your stock kernel file for KG2 ( Kernel_GT-I9100_I9100XXKG2.tar which is 8MB after unpack) for upgrading to this new firmware instead?

2. Can users in INDIA upgrade to this new KG2 firmware? Or will it change our CSC?

3. Which one of this two files from Chainfire to use for rooting this new KG2:

CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip OR

CF-Root-SGS2_JP_XSG_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip ??

What is the difference between these two files? I'm guessing JP_XSG is for Japan, what is ZS_OZS for?

Waiting for your reply. Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II General] ravian29:
its a .zip file, i tried to install by renaming it to .tar via odin but it failed :(

now phone is dead, its saying firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again...
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
what file are you renaming??
[Galaxy S II General] :
You have to flash in cwm, not in Odin. I told you it is a flashable zip. I thought you knew about flasing stuff. Anyway, WARNING added to post.
[Galaxy S II General] ravian29:

[Galaxy S II General] ranwej:
Can someone please post available SWYPE languages?
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
Recalibration never required root, the batterystats.bin is only a HISTORY file of the battery usage, thats been discussed and proven since the SGS1 days.

Use your phone till its out of juice, charge it while its off, repeat the process 2-3 times.

I've only recalibrated my SGS1 once though, never had battery issues with it and as well as on my SGS2. I guess im on the lucky majority.
[Galaxy S II General] :
You should ask if you had a doubt, my friend. Atleast when you saw it was in zip format. Can you get into download mode? If no, a jig might help.
[Galaxy S II General] bernard134:

[Galaxy S II General] GIR:
I've noticed a small "bug".

When the device is awake and you want to put it in standby by shortly pressing the power button, the screen doesn't immediately turn off. Instead the blacklight fades a little pauses and then turns off. Not really a big issues just something I noticed.

Also the zip file on samfirmware contains several files, anybody have an idea why this is and what the difference is between the 2 CSC's?

/edit:

Also just noticed that the FOTA menu in the settings has more options added.
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
Placeholder for an upcomming stock CRT anim? :D

It gives a tad "smoother" transition to "being off", I like it :)

software update like HTC over the air updates. you'll need a samsung account for this
[Galaxy S II General] Vulpix:
Is there a chainfire root kernel for this yet?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
1. Dude the Kernel is not the firmware and will not update the device. Look in the first post for the non-wipe link that Darky posted, that is the firmware package.

2. You can update it and after updating flash the Indian CSC package from the thread in the dev forum.

3. Use the KG1 version.
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
Same question, I wonder if he has a Rooted Kernel based on this specific KG2 release.
[Galaxy S II General] AzzKickah:
Ah OK, not something I use then :)
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
is the KG1 version 1:1 with the KG2 version ?

[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
Camera firmware is upgraded with a different download, goto the proper thread :D
[Galaxy S II General] jcompagner:
i see always post like "battery got worse" "battery got better" when using different roms and so on.

I think many times it is just in what state the phone is, i have with the same rom sometimes completely different results, sometimes i have an idle drain of 2 or 3% and then suddenly for some reason it spikes.

Also people are very often just looking at the Android OS eating up 70% (which it does for me when the phone is a lot in idle) but you shouldn't care about that number.. Thats a useless number, the thing that really should be looked at what was the actual drain? I have many times 70% or higher but only a drain of 2% per hour...
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
Those posts are mainly placebo effect this is because no usage statistic is exactly the same.
[Galaxy S II General] scott.eden:
Its not.. New firmware has new camera firmware, if there is any newer it will be the latest camera firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
Go into recovery mode and do a factory reset
[Galaxy S II General] scott.eden:

When sasmung release a new firmware ,it will also come packed with the latest firmware for the camera.

read the proper thread :D
[Galaxy S II General] eybee1970:
I would be very very unhappy with an idle-drain of 2% per hour...;)
[Galaxy S II General] jcompagner:
the thing is that is never really idle, google talk, whatsapp are always connected, besides that sync can also be enabled then (and then Gmail/K9/Google+/Calendar are all also updating constantly..)

so whats idle ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Buyukbaba:
Update : Receiving text message, no problem, sending has problems. When I send text message with Turkish character in it, receiver see different characters than I intended to send.

No Turkish character problem with gmail app, everything is ok in it.

Now problem, sending text message and e-mail app.

If new FW with Turkish region published, what should I flash, again all PDA,csc and modem or only Kernel is enough? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
If you believe thats the case then good luck!
[Galaxy S II General] scott.eden:
google is your answer check it out...

Yes. you can also flash manually with the camera firmware update..

But also the new firmware is packed with the latest camera firmware.

thats why some times camera settings have changed or also added new features to the camera when updated to the newst firmware
[Galaxy S II General] Schrotty35:
How can i get Root?
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
I dont wanna argue mate, you have your own theories as well and I respect that.
[Galaxy S II General] surya_mca:
Root For What KG2..

if it is KG2.. no root availble now.. but u can try KG1 meantime...
[Galaxy S II General] heldchen:
just flash the cf-root kernel for KG1, then flash back the root kernel for KG2, and you got root.
[Galaxy S II General] TheMegastar:
Thanks for your reply, Intratech. Pls can you give the link for the thread where I can find the INDIAN CSC package? And I can flash JUST the CSC package alone after first upgrading with your non-wipe file?

There are two versions of KG1 given in CF's thread : CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG1-v4.1-CWM4.zip AND

CF-Root-SGS2_XW_MOT_KG1-v4.1-CWM4.zip So which one out of these two should I use (as a user from India)? And why not use any of the KG2 files given by CF?
[Galaxy S II General] Buyukbaba:
I did it this way, is it wrong?

Falshed everthing stock kg2. Then flashed only cf-root kg1 kernel. Then again flashed stock original kernel Kg2. Now, I have rooted Kg2.

Isn't this considered as rooted Kg2? I am asking this because I made it for the first time, I am newbie.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Click the link in my Signature.

For the Root question, you can flash an insecure kernel with Odin ( any one) and root the device with SuperOneClick and after rooting flash back the XXKG2 kernel. Step by step instructions in the link in my sig.
[Galaxy S II General] nil.shunya:
Hi.

Mate I think scot is right. When a new firmware is released it includes the latest camera firmware available/released on date. Though, after firmware is released there may be further camera firmware updates.
[Galaxy S II General] surya_mca:
Not an issue u can do tht... even i too did the same..

*Press Thanks Button if it helps You*
[Galaxy S II General] snipercision:
Yeah me too! however that said, I took my phone off the charger at full at 4pm, flashed KG2 with Odin. flashed CF and stayed on it. Have not restored anything else other then K9 and handcent and installed Titanium and root explorer... Then my phone has sat in my pocket... Just checked and I am at %76. INSANE!.

I have spent 1 week stock, 2 weeks Litening, 1 week Villain and then 3 days Darky b4 this...

Going back to Lite pros 1.5 as I was getting 3 days with that rom using tasker to shut down data transfer from 12am -5am. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] rantzzz:
The non-wipe link preserves everything in the phone? i.e all apps, and pictures, media files?

System settings will be changed to factory default though, right?
[Galaxy S II General] :
i have a "idle drain" of 1-2% per hour.

"idle drain": phone has 3G connection. data sync like email and other things are enabled. so the phone is not really idle. display is off
[Galaxy S II General] markmeijer1:
I flashed this firmware succesfully, I guess, but I'm only receiving a weak internetsignal "G" and not H, or H+... It's very very slow.

Is it something I did wrong and how can I solve this? Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] TheMegastar:
Thanks for the link. I use CF's method for rooting not Superoneclick. You didn't answer my question about why I should use the KG1 file of CF and not his KG2 file for rooting...is that an irrelevant question?
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
I think KG2 on the CF thread is 2.3.3 and KG1 is 2.3.4 so I believe that is why people are flashing KG1 to get root and then flashing stock KG2 from intratech's thread to get the stock kernel back.

People feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
[Galaxy S II General] dan@msx:
well i just flashed the darkyy firmware - as per his guide in post #1

installed smoothly, no worries there.... upon installing it restored the csc to XEU automatically, went through set-up wizard and google restored my apps. so far so good.... seems smooth, good responce and quadrants +100 to what it was on kg1

[Galaxy S II General] Devowa:
Let me ask again since I didn't get answer.. :(

My country which is Japan is not in the list.

Should I just stick with the older firmware?

Or Can I just simply ignore CSC thing and flash this firmware?

[Galaxy S II General] ka2uki:
i thinks two things will make the xxkg2 not to be a release version:

1.when the browser enable plug-ins (flash player) always on..load a webpage full of flash,and then trick a paging in this webpage.if another paging have flash to load ,the browser will FC!,if not no FC,and then enable plug-ins (on demand) load the same situation above it,no FC..i think flash player not compatibility with the xxkg2 browser ,

2.home page lag:when you creat a folder (like games) ,put many games app in it ,and the open it ,drag the home page (see how many home pages you build),will lag~~
[Galaxy S II General] Endr1:
Dude you are a s2 magician, how can we say something against you!?

BTW the rom you modified which is in the first post, the no wipe one, is just a PDA to flash or I still need CSC and Modem /phone part? I am KE7 and like to have suggstion how to flash it!
[Galaxy S II General] anupam_luv:
+1

I agree with u... thr's no point updating camera firmware separately... u can however flash a custom firmware to meet custom needs/enhancement etc....

[Galaxy S II General] skynetrulz:
Am goin to flash ma cell for the 1st time.. so am jus confirmin the steps to follow..

1. boot ma phone in download mode and connect to pc

2. 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-HOME-MULTI-OXAKG2.tar.md5

3. Tick auto reboot and reset time

4. Click start

flashing starts and after the reboot.. i be having XXKG2..!

am i rite..?? if not plz correct me.. thanks in advance.

also can ne one tell me how much time its goin to take..??
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Just put the single file in the PDA section of Odin and flash. It has everything. If you want a different CSC then see if it's available in the thread linked to in my Sig and then flash that from the CSC section of Odin after you flash and reboot the XXKG2 firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] Buyukbaba:
If I choose stock kg2 pda and kernel but csc with Turkey region support, can I solve my not being able to see correct Turkish characters in e-mails and sms problem? Is this flashing possible and problem solver in this case or should I wait for the official Turkey region support for 2.3.4?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
That's right.
[Galaxy S II General] Buyukbaba:
Absolutely right. 30 secs.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Well the CSC will not add support for Languages or keyboard character.

[Galaxy S II General] Buyukbaba:
do you have any idea what can be the reason of sms and email app character problem although there is support for Turkish in the firmware? Is it only because of unsupported Turkey region on oxa kg2? Thanks in advance.

Oh? Why dont you just reflash the firmware then dont do a factory reset and take some pictures and post, if this is the case then your the only one with a retail unit not having a pink spot.

Nobody said he was wrong, a camera firmware update is also included on a firmware but not always the latest.
