i installed the frankenstein 2.3.5 and let the bettery completly die and then charged it back to 100%

Used it this morning for about 1 hour listening to music and it's now at 85%, is this normal?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raver2046:
if you want to upgrade i suggest a full wipe, without full wipe my sgs2 was pretty buggy
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serpicoUK:
does it wipe all pics and music on the phone?

Which one should I use to flash?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brett944:
after upgrading from 2.3.4 to 2.3.5 you can try it first and see if its stable. if you get fc's then just do a full reset and wipe after backing up. make sure your backup is saved on your external sd card.

i have flashed darkys Rom and its working great

Do you have a link to darky's rom?

androidforums.com/galaxy-s2-all-things-root/420100-darkyrom2-xxki3-2-3-5-a.html

read the instruction carefully. you will need odin to flash the kernel.

the Rom is flashed directly off your phones internal storage using recovery mode

I dont have a rooted phone. Will it still work?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brett944:
When you flash the new kernel with odin it will become a rooted phone. to remove the warning triangle that you will see on initial boot up after flashing a non genuine kernel you will need a jig made from a micro usb plug and a 3000 ohm resistor soldered between pins 4 and 5.to use it Plug in the jig and then insert your battery. this jig will reset your phone so that the custom flash count is zero and it will say you have genuine Samsung firmware.

you can search for info about the jig in android development forum section.

if you don't use the jig it has no effect on your phone except that if you reboot your phone you will see the warning triangle while it boots up.

Flashing a genuine kernel and Rom will remove the triangle but only s jig can reset the custom Rom counter created.

I am not rooted, that's why I am confused when the other guy said every flash roots your phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brett944:
your phone can only be rooted if you flash a "rooted kernel", you can un-root your phone by flashing a original or genuine kernel and rom.

you can root your phone with a custom kernel and still use a stock unmodifies rom.

if you return to a stock rom the "custom firmware counter will still register how many modified kernels you have flashed, note that genuine samsung kernels wont increase this custom count, it can only be seen when you hold the power/volune down and home buttons at the same time from a powered off state, (download mode)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serpicoUK:
Thanks

Can you link me to a download flash which is running 2.3.5 that I can do without rooting?

I just want to do it through odin and then a full wipe as the frankenstein one is draining my battery.

Do I need to buy one of those usb jig's?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serpicoUK:
my battery is less than 40% and not used it hardle at all, as soon as I try to do something it goes down 1 or 2% in a matter of seconds
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estpoc:
You do realize that updating and restarting is a battery intensive task? Anyway, you should charge to 100 first and never flash below 50% to be on the safe side.

Next try to push you into the right direction.

Please READ the first 3 posts of Intratech's thread -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

Intratech wrote a complete and IMO very understandable description, how to find the right version and how to flash it ... and that you do not need root for flashing a ROM via Odin onto your SGS2.

As you are in UK and explicitly want a full-wipe, I would recommend the XXKI3 wipe-version in Frankenstein section (3. post) ... because it is the latest version (2.3.5) containing your language (UK-English) support.

Be confident and trust Intratech ... he is a good guy!

---------- Post added at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 PM ----------

So, you can use every ROM beginning with XX or XW, because they contain your (UK-English) language support - as Intratech already has written in this 1. post.

I currently have the Middle east firmware XSG_I9100JPKH1_I9100XXKG5_I9100OJPKH1 (2.3.3). Want to upgrade to 2.3.5. I am a bit confused as going thru the samfirmware website, i downloaded the whole package (PDA, CSC, Modem, Pit & Odin 1.83).

But, after reading this post, i think i should not go forward with the samfirmware packages!!

Can anyone suggest as to what all files i should choose? The original polish package (2.3.5) or the Frankenstein package? Also, should i use CSC of middle east alongwith the package.

What are the advantages of the new bootloader? should i update with the new bl instead of the old one.

Hi all.

Perhaps this is a newbie query but here you go.

I've been flashing stock rooted OTA's from the beginning, and always chose Odexed over Deodexed I suppose because of file size. Now, I'm looking to diversify and have the ability to theme etc.

Can I flash a deodexed over an odexed rooted 4.53.651.1 OTA with out data loss?

I assume I can just wipe dalvik, and cache then apply yes?

The specific thread I'm referring to is here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17642327&postcount=1

As I'd like to incorporate this with out flashing an entirely new rom. I'm cool with stock rooted goodness.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Best bet is to do a nandroid backup and try it out. If you have issues, just restore your backup.

If it doesn't work out for you, you can always just backup everything you need with Titanium Backup and an sms backup app if you want to save your messages. Then do a full wipe and flash the deodexed rom. The only data you will not be able to restore is your homescreen. It may restore, but widgets will not load.

I have found that it always helps my phone to do a full wipe every few weeks, even though I've only flashed updates of the same rom for the past few months. I could get away without wiping data, but I like a fresh start every now and then. Things run more smoothly, and I cut down drastically on my number of useless apps by not batch restoring everything.

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] jase33:
If WM6.5 is how you want to theme your android then go for it. I think your screen shot looks pretty good. You could work on the dock to be a bit closer to winmo (IMO).

I tether my TF201 all the time. Set the device the lg Optimus s and set soft tap. Don't have my phone right now or I would give better directions. This will make the Revos connection a regular wifi connection and not ad hoc
[LG Revolution] drt054:
If you do that.. then make sure you choose LG Optimus S in Device-Profile and Softap (master) in Setup-Method to tether to Windoze or Linux
[LG Revolution] MeshiaSamurai:
I'll have to give this a try. I ended up changing the mtu on my Transformer to 1428 instead of 1500, and that did the trick. I will change it back and set the profile on the REVO to LG Optimus S and see if the magic happens. If not, at least I know I have a working solution.

I'm currently running mik3d and in my opinion its the best 3.0 rom out there at the moment. But what's the benefit of using a kernel other than stock? And any suggestions for kernels and how do I flash a custom kernel? Thanks in advance
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m20120:
I am running MikG (not 3D) but I can address the reasons for running a custom kernel.

- Overclocking: Custom kernels will often allow you to change the max cpu clock to improve performance when you need it.

- Underclock: They also allow you to lower the max clock and the min clock if your aim is to try and improve battery life.

- More Governors to choose from: They will often have other cpu clock governors that can be used to balance battery life vs performance (see here).

- Undervolting: Some kernels will use various schemes to undervolt the CPU as another means to save power.

- HDMI Mirroring: The stock kernel will output a display to the HDMI only from the photo gallery app. The custom kernels can allow full display mirroring to the HDMI. This allows games, netflix, etc to be viewed on the big screen.

- Memory optimizations

There may be more reasons... these are the one from the top of my head.

You flash a kernel much the same way as you do a ROM. From Recovery you would wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache before flashing the ZIP of the kernel. That is it. Some kernels then allow adjustment with programs such as SetCPU.

There are a few kernels that support Gingerbread Sense roms (such as Mik 3D). You can look at Freedom, ChopSuey, Golden Monkey, Poonsense. I am running Freedom and it works well for me.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m20120:
Some phones do not like to be overclocked. That is normal. You just have to find out what your limits are. Mine actually does not like to be run as low as 128Mhz. When I do that I get boot loops once in a while.

Hey guys,

Im new to xda-developers, and also a noob with my galaxy s plus, just got it one week ago :D.

And how it had come, i tried to flash my i9001 with Gingerbread 2.3.4 (XXKP4) from samfirmware.com.

OK, first i put my phone into download mode, connected it to my pc, and started flashing with odin multi downloader 4.33. i was wondering how long it took to transfer the data, but after 10 minutes there happened something, and it went on until system.ext4. Exactly at this point, after 1 hour (!) flashing, nothing happened anymore, i waited for one more hour, and finally disconnected my phone.

after trying to restart, the SAMSUNG logo appeared, and then then i saw the following logo:

At the left side is a mobile, at the right side a pc. there is an arrow, from mobile to pc, that is disturbed by a warning sign.

I can still enter download mode, but every try i did failed. always stops at the

system.ext4

file!

If I can remember it right, that was 2.3.3 ~ after successfully re-flashing with the above firmware for around 10 minutes. I redo it again in 2.3.4 (I took my 2.3.4 from samfirmware too!) :D

by the way, if you are re-flashing using a desktop pc... I suggest for you to use the USB port that was built from the motherboard. It was more reliable than using a hub.
