Is it fine flashing the latest s2 stock rom or do i need to flash the one specific to our country? Is the rom found here -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1544487 ( I9100XWLSE (4.1.2) ) the latest one? What else do i need to do or ensure before flashing this rom? Are there any prerequisites? Any recommendations for the kernel and modem to use? Sorry if i have a lot of questions.. thanks..
[Galaxy S II General] spankymo:
I believe you can basically flash any stock rom. the usual difference is the csc, as it is region specific. so I always choose stock roms from english-speaking regions. checkout sammobile.com for the latest versions.

siyah kernel is one of the better ones out there. as for the modem, I'm still trying out several options. I can receive sms messages but phone status says no service.
[Galaxy S II General] wilbertoidzs:
Are you on the latest stock rom as well? Would you mind sharing your config/setup?
[Galaxy S II General] spankymo:
no I'm not. I've simply quit waiting for Samsung to re release their updates. maybe there are others here who are still on stock rom.
[Galaxy S II General] wilbertoidzs:
While back reading, i stumbled on posts saying you need the new cwm/dorimanx/philz kernel. Is this required for for all new roms or just rom specific because some roms doesn't include this on their instructions and i dont have enough privilege yet to post on the android dev thread to confirm if this is required or not. How would i know if my device is already ready for flashing? I came from litening gingerbread then to ics sensation 4 rom and im planning to flash neatrom lite. I havent flashed in ages so i dont know whats the new dos and donts. Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] spankymo:
it's on a per-rom basis. in most cases, the kernel that came with the rom should work fine. flashing other kernels is optional.

you have to have a rooted phone to flash custom roms. if it's just stock rom, you can flash it directly using odin (no need to root).

p. s. somebody please verify what I said. I'm no expert myself and am just speaking from experience.

XTC-I9100DXLSD update

Just wanted to ask if any of you guys already installed the firmware upgrade?

what are the good and bad from the new update in your opinion?
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
it drains the battery more than ICS. it's far better than note's jelly bean.

the initial update slows down the phone due to help pop ups. after that, re reboots and it will be a-ok.
[Galaxy S II General] zero_3:
did you encountered any random restarts on this version?

[Galaxy S II General] johnny2467:
could not wait a week and already installed update to 4.1.2

First thing i noticed, my battery life is better than ICS

My serial Number is ok again as opposed to ICS that my serial number became all zeros

Smart Stay works great, also Google Voice search understands me 99% of the time even when i spoke too low.

Some Apps icons and names changed so I need to remove them from the home screen and put the new ones.

Internet search is faster.

[Galaxy S II General] byte.me:
So I flashed my phone with the official update that someone posted on page 421 of this thread. It was successful, but the installation was shorter than before. Then I hooked it up to my computer and launched Kies to check my firmware. It had everything right, except it still says "COA" instead of "XTC" (see attachment below). "COA" was associated with the leaked JB firmware (XXLS6) that I flashed before, and Kies says my firmware version isn't supported to update via Kies (as it says from the attached screenshot). This means Kies thinks I still have the leaked JB firmware installed. I probably won't receive any future update via OTA, too, which is my biggest concern.

I don't know if I screwed up somewhere along the installation process, but this might've happened because the file I got (from page 421) didn't include the PHONE and CSC components (the leaked JB update that I flashed before had them). Is this the problem or is it something else? If it is, does anyone have the appropriate PHONE and CSC files for the XTC-DXLSD update to share? Thanks!

BTW, my phone isn't rooted and not once have I rooted it yet.
[Galaxy S II General] BATTLEFIELD3:
Thanks kabayan... If i'll reflash it, what version will i use to reflash the ROM? Also, have downloaded from the link you gave file speedmod-kernel-s2-jb-k5-8-Odin.tar, this is the file to be used by ODIN to root my S2 right?

[Galaxy S II General] byte.me:
Please disregard this. I think I fixed my problem. Tried wiping the cache and restoring the phone to factory settings, and "COA" eventually changed to "GLB" (for Globe). Not sure why it said that instead of "XTC", but at least Kies recognizes the ID now.

If you want an original part, take it to samsung's service center in Sm north edsa annex. If not, try going to greenhills. They have lot' s of cellphone parts there. No idea for the price in greenhills but I'm sure that you haggle for it.

wifi does not turn on

Hi guys,

I flashed my wife's i9100 with the 4.1.2 DXLSD ROM. Now, wifi could not be turned on.

I searched around here (XDA), and all threads had a dead end.

I know it might be a hardware problem, but Bluetooth still works perfectly. Am I correct to assume that?

TIA.

Hello mate

Was it you that got his S2 bricked before?

oh anyways, kindly, if possible, post feedback here on where and how much it was to get your power button fixed?

my home button is getting there so it might be a similar case to yours :(
[Galaxy S II General] spankymo:
could be a problem with the modem. first, check if your modem and RIL (radio layer interface) are matching (use GetRil app from playstore to check). if not, you can use that app to install a matching RIL. if wifi still won't turn on, consider flashing a different modem/baseband version. I'm using XXLS8 and it's working fine.
