thnx mate

but i would like to ask a question . I just need to flash the firmware first with odin & then with your kernal to make the counter zero rit ?
[Galaxy S II General] bernard134:
So sorry but will there be a stock non-wipe version with old bootloader being uploaded which is PDA: XXKI3| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: OXAKI3?

Other than Frankenstein XEU non-wipe version also with old bootloader.

---------- Post added at 01:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 AM ----------

From my knowledge (correct me if i am wrong), flashing samsung firmware will not trigger the binary counter to plus 1, only for custom rom or flashing in-secured kernel for rooting will plus 1 to the counter then you will be the usb jig to reset the counter to zero (provided the firmware is mod with old bootloader)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
The stock version is wipe and I do not have a non-wipe command package for this one. Package came with only one version and it was wipe. Sorry.:(

You are right, flashing the Samsung kernel will not increment the unsigned binary counter. When you flash the insecure Kernel or CF-Root Kernel (for rooting) it will increment. You can reset it to 0 using the Jig. The kernel is there to:

1. Restore the stock kernel is you use SuperOneClick to root

2. Remove the yellow triangle if you use CF-Root and don't want to use the Jig to remove the Triangle.

Hello siberian tiger, I have two questions about android 2.3.5. First, how can install it? I am using Criskelos Rom, so can you tell me what to do to flash it? Second question, is this version better than the last of Criskelo? If your answer is yes, why? Thanks a lot in advance.

Is gchat with video call function finally included in 2.3.5 or not?
[Galaxy S II General] bernard134:
Sorry to trouble you, but can i ask why cannot have stock non-wipe version PDA: XXKI3| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: OXAKI3?

Although I know the Frankenstein™ Non-Wipe package with XEU CSC doesn't make or affect the phone because it just the CSC which is telco customization, its the same rom just that the CSC is change to XEUKD and PDA: XXKI3| Modem/phone: XXKI3 remain the same.

Hi guys!

I have heard that 2.3.5 brings a built-in SIP client in other phones (ie google devices). How about that functionality in the new rom in sgs2? Do we still need to use any 3rd party app our can configure the system to make voip connections?

Chainfire's CF-Root for KI3
[Galaxy S II General] jetshinoda:
have anyone got a Talk 1.3 with video on 2.3.5 KI3 ?

i tried last night...do a workaround that was posted in this thread..succesfully installed the video chat Gtalk..working just fine until i found something wrong with it..

when someone sent me a message..usually it shows what the person was saying in the notification bar up in the left..but in 2.3.5 it says that person sent me a group chat invitation everytime they sent a message (it shows the message in the drop down bar though)...

anyone figured out how to fix this on KI3 ? everything works fine besides that..

went back to 2.3.4 and then the Talk app works fine again

Update: it works fine now...just need to flash two files of GTalk apps and then now it works fine just like in 2.3.4 build :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] redzion:
for me gchat with video works fine until restart, then get force close, reinstall and back works fine until next restart.. strange..
[Galaxy S II General] jetshinoda:
hmmm haven't tried the restart though since the stock ROM doesn't provide a reboot option when pressing the power off which i got on Lite'ning ROM..

the only problem on my side is everytime people sent me message it shows they invited me to a group chat but it shows just fine in the notification drop down bar..but not on the notification area up left when it shows at first...

guess i'm sticking with 2.3.4 until the next update comes with a Gtalk with video included

kinda strange even 2.3.5 stock ROM doesn't included the video Gtalk app

and plus tried the video chat invitation will shows as a message if u don't use the pop up notif for video chat lol..

well it's not a huge deal actually..but kinda annoying for me though :P

maybe i'll just wait till the next update..maybe Samsung is kind enough to include the GTalk with video next :P

[Galaxy S II General] Idan73:
Just for info

Flashing only the ki3 kernel stock or cf over any 2.3.4 firmware will give you speed improvements and 4000 range quadrant.

Also for info. I wish boot and sbl are removed from odin packages unless absolutely neccessary to the operation of firmware. Putting them in every package is just asking for trouble. We especially don't need it now since we're trying to stay on old version which we already have considering potential for total brick due to screwed up boot or losing access to recovery and download mode if sbl upgrade gets fckd.

Why Samsung has it in their package? Because they have tools to fix it and they want us to be good little sheep and not reset counter or in case of original tab once you flash boot and sbl certain version make it impossible to downgrade! We do not!

[Galaxy S II General] amandureja:
Hey guys, I'm just wondering, what is the difference between the Wipe and Non-Wipe versions of the XXKI3 firmware? I'm currently on stock Bell UGKG2 firmware, and really want to upgrade. What are the benefits of using the Wipe version over the Non-Wipe? If I choose to opt for the Non-Wipe, will I still see the increase in speed, etc? If so, why would anyone choose the Wipe version of the firmware and go through the hassle?

Oh and also, why is the Non-Wipe version a "Frankenstein" package, while the Wipe version is official? Either way, they should both be the same and I should not run into any problems, right?
[Galaxy S II General] bernard134:
I am using it for 3days, battery life compare to XXKH3 v2.3.4 is abit more drain as its the first v2.3.5 for Galaxy S II made by Samsung, cannot blame them, let wait for a new update XXKI4 or XXKI5 v2.3.5

Battery life for me is much much better than KH3. For the same usage, KI3 gives me 15 hours more than KH3.

[Galaxy S II General] royadams91:

[Galaxy S II General] LostinCanada:
I am curious as to whether those of you with high quadrant scores have tweaked settings somewhere? I did the full wiipe KI3 with chainfire root/stock kernel and 3700 was the highest I got after about 8 tests? Several tests were around the 3500 mark - and I did a clear memory/shut down running applications before each test.

Thanks!

[Galaxy S II General] ccc105:
A wipe ROM will erase all your installed applies and data (but you can do a backup of them with a backup software for example : Titanium Backup).

A Non-Wipe ROM will NOT erase your installed applies and data (ie you will keep them).

I don't think that the Non-Wipe will be "faster" than a wipe ROM, maybe I'm wrong. If so, correct me XDA members !

And for the "Frankenstein" packages, you have just to read a little :

"These packages below are not official firmware packages, they are Frankenstein package created due to demand for Firmware with different CSC and modems and also leaked firmware packages. KIES will not recognise the firmware so you won't be able to update to new firmware using KIES unless you flash back to a firmware meant for your device first. Otherwise there will always be Odin to use for updates".

More than 4000 in stock XXKI3, rooted with CF-Root ! :)

[Galaxy S II General] Holgott:
I just flashed the infratech full wipe XXKI3 package yesterday and in quadrant i had about 4000 points. I started again today and had max. 3500 points.

Is there any way to find out which processes uses running performance of my system?

Sad. This firmware runs fine when I install it on factory settings, but when I restore my backup, and install Chainfire, it just boot loops.

A couple of small observations (features)

If you change the name of the wifi hotspot it seems to forget it when you turn the hotspot off.

Also when you switch the hotspot off it leaves wifi on.

So you must remember to switch it off.

I do have the pink spot in the camera though which doing some testing with today still seems to be there but nowhere near as bad as it was previously.
[Galaxy S II General] justmiike:
The problem is fixed by just flashing a non-wipe version of KH3. I'm going from KH3 to KI3.

When I go over with a non-wipe to KI3, it boot loops.

When I go over with a wipe version to KI3, it's fine. When I recover my backup from Titanium and install Chainfire, it boot loops. Maybe 2.3.5 doesn't like something I have backed up?

To restore it, I flashed a non-wipe version of KH3 and it settles.

So, not sure why the KI3 firmware boot loops the phone in this regard, first time it has happened to me when going to a newer firmware.

I'm assuming it's either something in my backup it doesn't like or Chainfire installing or using a battery mod or the fact that I have so many apps? Not sure. KH3 works perfect, so I think I'll just stay on that.
[Galaxy S II General] amandureja:
So, what should I go for, coming from UGKG2, wipe or non wipe?

Its better practice to wipe. Especially when you are on an old Rom.

Mybackup does backup and restore apps but titanium is better for apps I think. Mybackup is great for sms, call logs etc.

Extract it from a kh3 Rom and put it in /system/app using root explorer or any root level file manager. (delete the old version first).

How to remove yelow triangle and stay with root+cwm

1-My friends install cf xxx root kernel compatible with your rom.

2-install stock kernel via odin in pda

3-cwm will stay with root you wil only loose clockwork recovery (for now)

4-extract the zip file of the cf xx root kernel you previous installed to get root, YOU WILL SEE A FILE called Zimage.

5-copy that file to your phone

6-open cwm and select flash kernel

7-select the zimage file of the cf root xx kernel on your phone

8-click install ok

Now you will have root with clockwork recovery and without the yellow triangle
