[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Ok, no panic. I'm repackaging the firmware without the bootloader to combat this. I think you can flash back to the previous NEE firmware from the firmware thread in the dev forum to restore the previous bootloader and then flash the XWKI4 that I'm uploading now without bootloader and then you can use the Jig.

I've reset my counter using the Jig on my repackaged version.:)
[Galaxy S II General] DummyPLUG:
thanks for the info, so I can just flash the old sbl, then reset it, after that flash the new sbl?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yes............
[Galaxy S II General] madman_cro:
to be honest i dont know what they changed in sbl exept that reset thing. you might aswell stick wit the old
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
y does every1 wants to reset his counter .. i have never done it does it make any difference ?
[Galaxy S II General] LuffarJoh:
If you flash via kies, will that reset the counter?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
MultiCSC, Nordic, XWKI4 firmware and stock kernel now available in the firmware thread in the dev forum.

Firmware has been repackaged to remove the bootloader that blocks resetting the binary counter with a Jig when you flash an unsigned kernel.

---------- Post added at 10:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 AM ----------

If you flash any unsigned kernel, like CF-ROOT or Insecure, it will increment the counter and then you won't be able to reset it with a Jig unless you flash back the old bootloaders. Even if you flash with Kies in the future it will preserve the count.

---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 AM ----------

If ur device is FUBARRED and u need 2 take it in 4 service it would be best if the count is 0. If u FUBAR the device & cant reset it then there is a possibility that they could get a readout of the count @ the service center.
[Galaxy S II General] DummyPLUG:
is that possible to just flash the sbl only via odin?
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
I can only flash it when I get back home, in the meantime, I wonder if it comes with the usual gallery app which Apple wants removed, or is there a new gallery?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Never tried. I'm not at home so maybe you can try and report back. I can whip up a Odin tarball package with just the old bootloader if anyone wants to give it a try
[Galaxy S II General] Sandwiches:
do I need to re-flash cf-root after flashing?

sorry i have no idea what counter resetting and jigging is, perhaps there is a link to explain further?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I've attached the old bootloader repackaged in a tarball for Odin. Anyone who's flashed the full firmware package and cannot reset their binary counter flash this with Odin and then try the Jig. Place tarball in the PDA section of Odin

[Galaxy S II General] raf2k:
So the most importand change in 2.3.4 is not included in this ROM :rolleyes:

Probably all the other changes like better battery life, better performance, bla bla, bla are placebo effects :D
[Galaxy S II General] DummyPLUG:
you will see a count in the download mode
[Galaxy S II General] Sandwiches:
a count of what?
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Strange !!!

I have flashed this !!!

its strange that there is no

- SIP Support

- Gtalk still old one.

It looks like 2.3.5 is coming with big changes ?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I suggest that you invest some time reading some stuff that's hidden on this forum. People are being very tricky and writing stuff down.:)
[Galaxy S II General] DummyPLUG:
a counter that increase everytime when you use download mode to flash an unsigned kernel
[Galaxy S II General] DummyPLUG:
I just being lazy, lol
[Galaxy S II General] nofam:
Devious buggers! :D
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Only increases when you flash an unsigned package, doesn't increment when you enter download/Odin mode.

---------- Post added at 10:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

So anyone flashed the old bootloader Odin package with Odin and reset their counter yet?
[Galaxy S II General] winther86:
Maybe a stupid question but shall i flash it as the bootloader or the PDA in odin? :o

I would guess as bootloader.

Better safe than sorry :)
[Galaxy S II General] DummyPLUG:
thanks for the correct info. I am not at home now so can't test it.
[Galaxy S II General] Simmo3D:
Flash as PDA not Bootloader
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
From memory I think I've flashed the bootloader tar from PDA previously.

edit: I have to get back to work. Will check back later for reply on that. cheers.
[Galaxy S II General] Sandwiches:
I'm not too interested really, I don't have any warranty on the phone anyway.
[Galaxy S II General] MaTiCeK-:
The new system font in this firmware is awful!
[Galaxy S II General] xTee:
ohh...finally, the wifi signal is fixed :D

Where i can find 2.3.4's changelog?
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Can anyone spot changes from KH3 to this firmware ?

It looks like they removed few things from like Gtalk with V Chat , VOIP ????
[Galaxy S II General] BoneMo:
MODEM

is the XXKI1 MODEM from XWKI4 ROM better than the XXKH3 ??
[Galaxy S II General] Hampa_D:
strange thing that i can't turn off the voice recognition thingy since i got the new FW
[Galaxy S II General] madman_cro:
there is new option in location and security(use sensor aiding) and system fonts are bolder
[Galaxy S II General] Simmo3D:
So far I have noticed the fonts are a little different from XXKH3 - its more bolder and bigger (i dont like it)

Seems like the homescreen is smoother IMO

That's all I have noticed but ill test overnight and check it out a bit further.
[Galaxy S II General] winther86:
it worked flashed as PDA
[Galaxy S II General] Hampa_D:

[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:

[Galaxy S II General] plazzTT:
Can someone post a screenshot of the new system font?
[Galaxy S II General] Krizp0:
I don't know what's so awful about it... it's just a bit thicker, and you can choose from others in the settings as well ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Here you go , Screen shot of new fonts. !
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Austrian version coming shortly
[Galaxy S II General] petsasj:
What do you mean by that? is it XXKI4 instead of XWKI4?
[Galaxy S II General] tranduong:
according to Samfirmware it's ATO = Austria I9100XWKI4/I9100ATOKI1

source: http://twitter.com/#!/SamKiesUpdates
[Galaxy S II General] Nitrius:
Will the "flash" counter increase if i install this new firmware with the old bootloader that was posted by @Intratech?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It's XWKI4 with ATO CSC.

No
[Galaxy S II General] andresalonika:
Any significant change? Any difference with XWKI4 ?
[Galaxy S II General] snowfallen:
Any change in the banding issue?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:

[Galaxy S II General] pharaohdk:
awesome update ready in denmark too :)

anyone found how to root it ?
[Galaxy S II General] Hrti:
Cf-root(?) :)
[Galaxy S II General] andresalonika:
installed from stock KF3 and i have lag in homescreens again..total fail..back to KF3
[Galaxy S II General] pharaohdk:
I used the for the earlier firmware, wasent sure if it was made for this new one :P ty
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I think you should just stick to KF3 as you seem to have homescreen lag with all other firmware. I don't have these lags you always post about. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Simmo3D:
New update seems pretty fast and responsive compared to KH3. No homescreen lag and great battery so far. Pretty happy although ill flash and wipe again when XXKI4 is out.
[Galaxy S II General] borchgrevink:
Why is it available only through Kies and not OTA?
[Galaxy S II General] Nitrius:
There seems to be some problem with landscape wallpapers on the homescreen? Mine suddenly went from a landscape wallpaper to a portrait wallpaper, though i just clicked a few times on the meny/home button and it went back to landscape, seems to happen after a reboot.

Anyone else noticing this?
[Galaxy S II General] MaTiCeK-:
I can't recieve MMS messages. Because I don't recieve them often, I'm not sure if it's a problem related to KI4 firmware or some other bug.

[Galaxy S II General] bruflot:
What do you mean with no bootloader? I can still flash it right..?
[Galaxy S II General] Hrti:
The original KI4 firmware package included a new bootloader that made it impossible to reset the custom binary counter using a USB jig. Intra has repackaged the firmware without the bootloader so that you can still use a jig to reset the counter. When flashing Intra's package you'll keep the old bootloader ;)
[Galaxy S II General] dejann:
hi
[Galaxy S II General] kersey:
What difference does a newer bootloader make (other than the jig issue), is there any disadvantage in using the older one??
[Galaxy S II General] dan@msx:
any chance of a frankenstien non wipe xeu version intra?

or can i just flash KD1 csc seperate? after main FW

[Galaxy S II General] gee2012:
So i guess the tales of the second internal counter are proven not true if samsung made a change regarding the counter and the bootloader!
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It was already proven not true ages ago. I couldn't find it, ChainFire couldn't find it and I know a few other devs looked as well and couldn't find any trace of a second counter anywhere.
[Galaxy S II General] adambro4:
ahh a fellow spireite :p
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Already posted the Austrian version. The others are covered by the multiCSC Nordic release.

[Galaxy S II General] HotlipsH:
What if Google released more then one build per version... That could make this r6 perhaps.
[Galaxy S II General] dan@msx:
Isnt the release 2.3.x the version? Or am i bein a retard here..... Surely version 2.3_r6 would be 2.3.6
[Galaxy S II General] sebarkh:
Maybe it's 2.3.6?

Not even 2.3.5 but 6?!!!!!

That would be awsome!
[Galaxy S II General] Davith:
Any way you could split the firmware into 3 separate files (PDA, CSC, Modem) so that we can each choose our own CSC ?

[Galaxy S II General] bkraptor:
That's the version of the Google apps included, nothing related to the Android version.
[Galaxy S II General] pharaohdk:

[Galaxy S II General] rashlan976:
This my sound retarded but why is there only one file? Does anyone have a link to how its mean't to be flashed :S
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Can you understand the enormity of the issues this will cause with n00b flashers already having a hard time following instructions, including screenshots mind you, with a single tarball? :eek:

I really would do it if I thought it was more convenient but if you could just see the PMs I get you'd understand why I'd prefer to keep it as simple as possible.

You can flash any of the CSC tarball after flashing the firmware if you want. They can be found in the firmware thread in the third post.

edit:

Case in point^.

There is a tutorial to be found in the link in my signature. Double click to get the tarball, put it in the PDA section of Odin, connect device already in download mode to USB cable, wait for any drivers to load and then flash.
[Galaxy S II General] :

[Galaxy S II General] moffe:
My problem is that after the upgrade with the newest nordic firmware (with kies, phone is totally in original state), I can't sync with kies anymore. Kies is staying in connecting... mode and in the phone nothing happens. Well it makes a sound when I connect the usb kabel but that's it. Before the upgrade it worked fine... Otherwise no issues at all with the newest firmware.

The lates thing I tried, was trying to upgrade it again. Ofcourse not with kies(doesn't work) but with odin. But it did not help, same thing still.

Is the name "I9100XWKI4_I9100OXXKI2_I9100XXKI1_HOME.tar.md5" and the file is very large (approx 500mB)? Then it is fine, just install is as usual.

I just installed this file myself (downloaded from Samsungs server though, but got the same file name) and it works fine, remember real md5 files are very small, just a short checksum.
[Galaxy S II General] tfn:
so that will be under PDA then....

strange .. from when did they start changing these :(
[Galaxy S II General] tjtj4444:
Yes put file under PDA (but I believe it will work in other location as well, but don't blame me if you try...).

I don't think Samsung bothers much about the filname, Kies installs what the server tells it to install so this filename isn't really visible anywhere for normal customers. The don't really care about us at XDA :D
[Galaxy S II General] Nitrius:
Anyone else notice some light stuttering on the homescreen when you scroll between the screens you have? Didn't have anything like this before the update...

Working great here. Installed NEE sales code by *#272*IMEI# after flash and factory restore (still shows up as OXXKI2 when pressing *#1234#. Is this normal?). My market even auto-updated to 3.1.3 after flashing. Scrolling is smooth and ROM feels snappy. They still managed to include the double periods under settings->display->screen time-out though :p looking forward to jkays mod :D

Intratech @

how do i know the changelog or fixs for this rom version?

It's a pain in the ass to read all the comments looking for any difference, thats make me wonder why developers don't save our times by writing it?

I dont know am i wrong for askin that, is there is any reason for not to mention it?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
My best reply would be to direct this question to Samsung. I have never known Samsung to publish change logs for their firmware updates. It's a bit of an adventure to find out what's changed once you flash an update.

Replaced zImage with CF's xwki4 zImage.

Flashed the new modded big tar file as PDA using ODIN..

[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Tom82:
Any way to get SIP back? Before a while I found a thread on this forum who told us how to do it on a older firmware (it was just copying some file on the fone and its worked fine)

Also to get gtalk with video back there was somewhere a comment/instruction.

Possible that someone has a link to this instructions, because I dont find them anymore.
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Doing that is always possible !! Search in Forum and you will get that. But that is Custom mod. I am talking about Stock Rom...Samsung did the same with SGS 1 as well.

No SIP and GTalk Video Chat even with 2.3.5 JVS Leaked version.....

I was hoping SGS II will get both but 2.3.4 Stock does not seems to have that .... What is wrong !!! I think Samsung wants to release2.3.5 based rom as much stable rom instead of 2.3.4. However, since 2.3.3 has lots of issues , samsung made a fast move to release 2.3.4.

This is my speculation !!!
