[Galaxy S II General] Electroz:
This is wrong. I'm not sure where you got that XXKG3 is remotely the same as UGKG2, but here's an explanation of the firmware version numbers:

This is standard across most Samsung Phones.

I9000 = Model #

UG = Carrier/Area code. For example, XX = Europe, UG = Bell Mobility Canada.

K = Year = 2011

G = Month = July (H = August, I = September)

2 = Revisions that month for the specific region (aka. UG, XX, XW).

A lot of people on here think the last 3 digits are important and that if you have 2 KG3 firmware that they are the same. However, this is not the case.

You need to go by all 5 letters due to the fact that each firmware is customized by different groups at Samsung. And to prove this, just look at KG2. There are 2.3.3 KG2's and there are 2.3.4 KG2's.

It's actually possible that one area's KG2 could have been newer than another area's KG4. The best way to check, is to look at the build date in the Build.prop for each firmware.

But your assuming that KGx means they're the same is wrong. All that those numbers mean is what month/revision the firmware is. Samsung has several different teams producing firmware independently of each other for different regions. The only letters that mean the firmwares are similar are the country/carrier code (ie. UG, XX, XW).

Also, your idea of what Official firmware is, is flawed. Just because it's on samfirmware, DOES NOT make it official. Most of their firmwares are leaked test builds. If it's not released on Kies, it's not official.
[Galaxy S II General] TECK:
Thanks for the great explanation, much appreciated. It should help many people understand better how the versioning works. About the "official" part, that's the reason why I mark it with a (?). As you said very well, it is official once is released by Samsung through updates.

The thread is related to my own experiences with the Europe MULTI firmware, based on the fact that a Bell phone specs are identical to the Europe model.

Edit: I upgraded to XXKH3 firmware successfully just now, everything works great.
[Galaxy S II General] thvpham:
I currently have a Bell branded SGSII with baseband version UGKG2.

I originally flashed it with CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip and then I re-flashed it with the original UGKG2 Stock Kernel from Bell.

Now my phone is rooted and stock.

Any positive/negative feedback from users running XXKH3 firmware (2.3.4) would be very much appreciated.
[Galaxy S II General] KayvinM:
I ran the KH3 firmware briefly with no issues. The only annoying this was when using the program monitor widget I would experience some lag or choppiness when switching homescreens(same on KG6/KH4). On the positive side the gps accuracy and lock time was greatly improved.
[Galaxy S II General] TECK:
Aha, I had no idea as I don't use that widget... thanks for the tip. :)

I usually hold the Home button until the Task Manager pops, to see the running apps. But I got used already to press the Back key every time I deal with an app... that automatically closes it.

About the GPS, the accuracy is greatly improved indeed. It takes me 1-3secs max to get a lock (with wireless networks disabled) and the accuracy is always 5meters.

Edit: There is a new Digital Clock service running now... I have no idea what makes it start, please let me know. I use Beautiful Widgets on my home screen.
[Galaxy S II General] KayvinM:
The digital clock service should be part of the digital clock widget. You can try to end the process under running services and see if it stops it.
[Galaxy S II General] thvpham:
I downloaded the XXKH3 firmware but I'm not sure which files I should be using with Odin (Bootloader, PDA, Phone & CSC).
[Galaxy S II General] TECK:
I use Beautiful Widgets, so DigitalClock.apk should not be starting... Weird.

I just uninstalled the system app, no more running services. It was wasting my battery for nothing.

See step 3 and skip the PIT file (re-partition unchecked). Also see the Update note into OP.
[Galaxy S II General] thvpham:
I ended up re-downloading the XXKH3 from Intratech's thread and it was much easier flashing the one PDA file.

Now do I need to flash the XXKH3 stock kernel or my default stock Bell kernel?
[Galaxy S II General] TECK:
You need the XXKH3 stock kernel, Intratech has it linked below the actual firmware link.
[Galaxy S II General] clb09:
does it matter if CSC changes?

right now, (before root + update firmware), I still have BMC....

but once it's changed, would that create problems? If yes, what kind of problems. If no, then why do we care about CSC?
[Galaxy S II General] TECK:
Personally, I used the samfirmware files and the phone works great. The pda.bell.ca info is present into ASN also.
[Galaxy S II General] thvpham:
Thanks for the responses everyone.

I ended flashing the stock XXKH3 kernel with the firmware. So far the upgrade has been good to me, I noticed improved battery life for the first 18 hours of usage. I will continue to use this build until I find something that is more stable and efficient then this.
[Galaxy S II General] clb09:
A BIG THANK YOU!!!! I finally rooted and unlocked.

Originally: UGKF6

Now: XXKG5

Thanks for the guide!!!

Just 1 question though, do I HAVE TO do a factory after root? Any problem if I don't?
[Galaxy S II General] TECK:
One thing is sure, the battery life degraded compared to XXKG3 firmware.

XXKG3 | XXKH3 (about 4hrs lost)

When I took the screenshot on KG3, I was using the phone for about 2 hours to read a book (notice the sudden drops because of the white screen), while the KH3 was always in sleep mode. So ya, there is a significant change in battery life with a tradeoff for the GPS gains.

I updated the OP.

Just curious, why you did not used the KH3 to take advantage of amazing GPS? The battery life should be a bit better also, compared to KG5. What do you mean by "do a factory"? You will lose root only if you flash back the firmware, flashing the kernel will not delete the su binary. You want to keep your phone rooted. :)

I strongly recommend you to spend $1 and get ChainsDD's Superuser Elite key, it will allow you to pin protect your rooted device. I upgraded to 3.0 Beta4 and everything works properly. Worth the dollar in so many ways, not just for securing the su access.

What you use to remove system app.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] thvpham:
I use Titanium Backup PRO. It allows me to backup, freeze and uninstall the unwanted apps.
[Galaxy S II General] Fizwiz:
One thing i have see with the XXKH3. With the KG2 im stable on H+, now im switching between 3G and H+.

Anyone else?

For one, I don't like Apple products. Although I have a friend (A+ certified) who was given an ipad for Christmas. While in school another student (female) asked him "is that an iPad? oh you must be good with computers then). He was speechless, as yes he is, but most people who own Apple products are morons. I have an old iBook I use as a coaster, but other than that my household has only PCs.

Well in fairness it's a matter of opinion. While I hate the iOS for being such a closed OS, some people would want a simple to use and good looking product(in their opinion) and iOS is just that: simple, idiot-proof. Android, on the other hand, pwned iOS upside down with it's flexibility and customisation options, even without root. So ya, it's a matter of what the end user prefers. Personally, Android is my choice :D

While I do hate the iPhone, I feel that the only issue with Macs is their price tag. Macs are fine seriously it's iOS that the issue here. I use a Mac(and like it). Flame me, I don't care. I'm not against Apple, just iOS.

I don't like apple products too, but.. I must admit that an Ipod nano (version with round schroller) will be a good choice, but for mac and bigger OS things changed.

they are a bit "closed" or "locked". I don't like that because they keep theyr own standards.. well the new macs with the i7 sucks, the sistem is a bit unstable...

and theyr product that have lower raw power cost a lot more.

as an example the old iPhone 3 that was packing a 2mp camera with no video capabilities, or 3gs is the same, 3mp and a 600mhz core probably from motorola while there was the n97 with a lot more camera but it was a completely crap with simbian.

If i'm gonna to buy a tablet or a pc i'm going to buy an economic tablet with amd cpu for delete windows and install linux, and the pieces for build up a dextop pc, but I done that last year so maybe is better a big laptop for designing on the train instead listening music.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] LexterAce:
Scenario 1 : I transfer video X and video Y into my phone and only video X is transferred but corrupted. I delete my video X and put in video Y but inside my phone it is still video X.

Scenario 2 : I tried to format my sd card through my phone but I cannot reformat, so I used my com to reformat. My com showed that I have reformat my sd card, meaning nothing inside my sd card, but when i unplug my cable, all my reformatted stuffs came back.

Scenario 3 : I added 127 songs to my phone but only 6 songs found and the process shows i transferred and pass all 127 songs.

Conclusion : Everytime I add or delete something from my com to the sd card through cable, it's either I cannot delete or I cannot add stuffs

P.S : everything is through cable from my com to my phone and I have no problem if I delete things from my phone or use a sd card adapter.

Is this a non-stock SD card such as one bought on eBay or so? Run H2testw to make sure it's not a counterfeit - one which reports higher storage than is actually available, thus causing corruption.

You should run this through a USB card reader and not your phone. Also running checkdisk with the disk in a phone as mounting isn't advised. Unmount, or turn off and eject and plug into a card reader.

My first post! Awesome. Right, to it then?

Hello XDA community! Short and simple, I managed to break my phone. If I were being honest, I'd say it may be more even trashed than just broken.. that tends to happen when dropped onto it's corner from a fair height. So then! That brings me to my current dliemna:

There are a TON of options for reasonable phones right now. So... WHICH to get?

That's kinda broad. Let me be a little more specific. I have my eyes on the Galaxy S2 at the moment. I believe its release for AT&T is this 18th. It's an amazing power house of a phone with a beautiful screen, plenty of space (int/ext) and good RAM. Plus... it's drop dead gorgeous.

However anyone paying attention to Android's raging takeover of the mobile phone market knows of the up and coming "Nexus Prime." Though beyond few spec details, most is speculation on the machine.

My question? I can wait four days... and get an amazing phone for a great early upgrade price. Or.... I can wait for my 2 year contract and pick up the nexus prime in February (my renewal) for probably around the same price.

Current phone --> screwed. It would benefit me to have a device to use til then. However... I'm pretty much stuck once I get one. Worth waiting for and suffering til then?.... idk. I have an HTC Aria at the moment. Not too great a phone to be honest. Pretty basic. But it can still text and call. Good enough.

LAST of all! By all means here... call me out. >.> I'm sure I've missed plenty of options. Other phones... upcoming releases....

My personal notes: AT&T, 200mb Data Plan (constant wifi access), Price no object, Overall Qual > Gaming ability, Appreciate fair size screens (big thumbs), yes I'll be modding, Don't need a physical keyboard, Obviously I'm shooting for Android here but for discussion purposes all options will be considered.
[General Questions and Answers] Sjael:
Well, by all indications the Nexus Prime will basically be a Galaxy S2 with maybe a 720p screen. If you luuuurv hi-res screens, it might be worth sticking around for the Prime launch. If you're okay with WVGA though, I wouldn't expect the Prime to blow the S2 out of the water in any other regard.

Have you looked at the Galaxy Note? 5.3" 1280x800, due out Q1 next year. :D
[General Questions and Answers] Roelith:
Thanks Sjael! That helped some. :) I think I'll definitely end up shooting for the GS2. I don't really want to wait that long and I get the feeling that the GS2 will be more than enough for what I need.
