youll need to search the forum for your APN settings and enter them manually. Should work then, think ive seen a few people on AT&T lose data after a flash.
[Galaxy S II General] bjarnia:
Thanks. Was already in the process of trying that.. Restored my old rom and downloaded APN backup and Restore. Hoping that'll do the trick.

Edit: Worked!

Lens Flare

What you have is Lens flare, not the pink spot.

All cameras have lens flare to a certain extent and the colour, shape etc... is dependant on the type of lens, camera and contaminates on the lens surface amongst other things. It's a result of taking photos directly towards the sun or strong light sources.

Google lens" flare causes" and the wikedia site explains it in more technical terms. Changing you phone wont get rid of it, it's a inherent fault with all types of camera lenses on the whole. The pint spot most other people describe arises in different circumstances.
[Galaxy S II General] bonillax:
Thank you gillygumdrops for your answer.

I know there is lenses flare, but it i think it dont need appear in the picture when you have save it in your phone. I mean the flare issue is in all the cameras, but when you take it, you dont have it in the picture.

So why samsung have it ?

Thats totally get me angry.:mad:

a. Battery performance is down. What used to be 2 full days (moderate Wifi, 3G, 15 minute peak office sync) has been cut short to little more than a day

b. Lot of dropped calls in the 3G network.

I think KI3 is a bit buggy. KH3 looks better in hindsight.

It does appear on the photos that you save. It's the same for my phone and also for my DSLR and compact cameras. It is the light reflecting internally on the lens of the phone's camera.

XXKI3

Android 2.3.5

These packages have the new bootloader removed and repacked with the old ones so you can safely reset the binary counter with a Jig. :)

If you've already flashed a full package from elsewhere and cannot reset your binary counter using the Jig just flash this package in the PDA or Bootloader (Yes both will work) section of Odin to replace the bootloaders and then you can reset the counter:http://www.multiupload.com/LQQBRQVJUD

This full Wipe package has: PDA: XXKI3| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: OXAKI3

[Galaxy S II General] ortaliz:
Sorry if this has been asked/answered but I can't find the answer in the thread...

My question is, if I already have a FW with the new bootloader (DXKI2 in this case), do I need to update the bootloader first before the frankenstein version? Or will I just need to download the frankenstein version?
[Galaxy S II General] akbarhash:
^ Ans: Just the frankenstein version.
[Galaxy S II General] almorsol:
Hi, I have a question.

I am trying to flash the XEU 2.3.5 in my UK phone, but I downloaded the Frankestain version. And it is showing as an .exe file.

I am using Ubuntu and Heimdall.

But the file is supposed to be a .tar file. Instead, it shows as .exe.

Any idea of what to do in this case?

Thank you
[Galaxy S II General] SaneinOne:
Download and install 7zip to PC and use to extract. .exe might also be a self-executable file.

[Galaxy S II General] greglord:
Hi..

I already asked that question but, here's the thing- I flashed SGS2 to KI3 with PIT and what not (from samfirmware). Now, I'm getting lots of random reboots.

So, If I flash the phone with Intratech's KI3, will the problem go away? Or should I just flash with KI8 even though I'm not from any of nordic countries?

Help me out please, those random reboots are really pain in the a**.
[Galaxy S II General] DSA:
why did you use pit??

its all over all the tutorials for flashing new firmwares that you DONT use pit for the sgs2 as it will create problems
[Galaxy S II General] greglord:
Because, I havent checked XDA at that time when KI3 was released. Intratech suggested reflashing KI3 without pit by his tutorials and then reset to defaults. Hope it will fix the problem..

I've just gone from orange 2.3.3 to XWKI3 and managed to get google music syncing (which was not working at all on the previous firmware), but only after going to settings/applications and clearing the data for music. Now synced up beautifully.
[Galaxy S II General] sohebq:
am having strange issue with this firmware. Everything was going fine until i installed titanium backup today. First my phone failed to re-flash through ODIN. I did it on 2nd try,,, then after installing few apps, my phone freezes,,, suddenly, Sim signals are not showing, instead, phone shows airplane mode ON,,, if i try to turn off, nothing works,,, after a couple of minutes, phone freezes completely,,,

what could be the issue,,, m so worried :(

[Galaxy S II General] cyberz:
Hi,

have downloaded it from Samfirmware.

Have flashed it with re-partition checked.

After, have hard reset it, with code *2767*3855#*

Then, have applied ITV CSC, with code *#272*PHONEIMEI#

Then have rooted it with CF root for XWKI4,CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_KI4-v4.1-CWM4.tar, then have flashed the kernel from original KI3 rom.

Well done.

Best Regards

@anshmiester78900 Yes, CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_KI4-v4.1-CWM4 work fine. Then, if you want can re-flash the kernel from original rom.

p.s. I not have usb jig, my count is now 5!! :)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
You can root the using the old way with insecure kernel (any one) and superoneclick 1.9.5.
