Is this a non-wipe version?
[Galaxy S II General] bernard134:
I am downgrading to XXKI3 now (no issue with android.phone) and try to flash to Frankenstein version of XWKI8. I will wipe the cache later. Trying my best not to wipe out my whole phone if possible.
[Galaxy S II General] Mustoura:
Hmmm
[Galaxy S II General] radiobicho:
I will stop updating my phone until someone disable the HORRIBLE BLUE GLOW from the stock browser. :(
[Galaxy S II General] yasinag:
Yes,

I too had similar problem on stock firmware with OJV CSC. Doesnt get fixed from recovery mode. Just reverted back to earlier firmware XXKI3.

Just loaded stock firmware without any CSC and worked even there was no wipe. Seems some bugs on the firmware.

My product code GT-I9100LKAHAJ (OJV)

Original Firmware= I9100XWKE2/I9100OJVKE1/I9100XWKE1

Earlier firmware = I9100XXKI3/I9100OJVKG1/I9100XXKI3

Current = I9100XWKI8/I9100OXXKI2/I9100XXKI4

Sometimes the phone doesnt responds to touch/swipes. Tested on screen unlock pattern.

[Galaxy S II General] bernard134:
Okay too bad...looks like XWKI8 don't like my SGS II as android.phone keep having force close, reflashing back to XXKI3 until futher update is release from samsung, cache wipe already. (:

___________________________________________________

I think i know why already...check my CSC is unknown. I am wondering why...its a package file...hmm
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I flashed from XXKI3 to XWKI8 and have no issues.
[Galaxy S II General] bernard134:
Same, i think its the CSC unknown issue that casue android.phone to be not responding but i wonder why...its from one whole package and everyone is using it why unknown CSC?. Hmm...
[Galaxy S II General] davelinders:
Is that for installing with recovery?
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Same from My side. Have no issues at all.. everything went smooth. No fcs at all.
[Galaxy S II General] davelinders:
Do I need a custom kernel for root on the KI8?

And what did you do before flashing from KI3 to KI8?
[Galaxy S II General] dzontra11:
Somebody have original stock kernel for ki8?
[Galaxy S II General] xTee:
changelog? what is changed with 2.3.5?
[Galaxy S II General] bernard134:
I have flash so many rom from my ex-Galaxy S so do this new Galaxy S II, this is the first time i have issue with a firmware....android.phone force close.

Reverting back to XXKI3 non-wipe and stick to it until newer rom is release from samsung. :(
[Galaxy S II General] davelinders:
I'am on KI3 now and I did factory reset and wipe everything and after that I

rebooted straight into download mode and now I'am flashing the KI8 tar file

with odin.

Is this good or must I wipe everything after installing KI8?

And the kernel must I installed a new one with root or is it rooted already

from the tar file from intratech?

Ok installed it everything is working good no lag at all and no any FC's.

When did you all get the FC on android phone?
[Galaxy S II General] dan@msx:
same here. gone from KI3 to KI8 with XEUKH2 CSC no problems
[Galaxy S II General] lavazzabg:
Can we expect a non wipe version from you as usual ?

[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:
Had the same problem then did a factory reset all is well ty ...
[Galaxy S II General] Mustoura:
I had same issues force close straight up after boot and it was one after another .reboot didn't fix all wipes didn't fix permission fix didn't fix it .

There's an app for that .

[Galaxy S II General] davelinders:
Is my kernel rooted or a stock one (look at my signature)?
[Galaxy S II General] omrij:
Official versions from kies do not wipe your data
[Galaxy S II General] fasst:
So what will happend if I flash CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KI3-v4.1-CWM4 with XWKI8, or do I have to patiently wait for Chainfire and CF-root for XWKI8?
[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:
Is it me or is the writing more bold ????
[Galaxy S II General] dan@msx:
What firmware were you on before ki8? As both me and intra went from ki3 it may be something to do with the apk on origibal rom being older version?
[Galaxy S II General] yasinag:
I think there is some bug which is forcing the device to hang on samsung logo screen. I tried upgrading from different combination of firmware's and all had same issue.

Unable to understand how official NEE release set upgrade worked for OJV (HAJ) without wipe and retained all settings.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
No

It's in the firmware thread in the dev forum where I always post them.

The packages I've uploaded are non-wipe.

---------- Post added at 12:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 PM ----------

Yea did that might try reinstall back to stock jig it try up date through kies and see what happens from there. Lol you said that sorry.

Wow really, was enjoying KI3.
[Galaxy S II General] dzontra11:
BLURK...how to do that?
[Galaxy S II General] teorigoni:
Is there any problem upgrading to XWKI8 without applying the CSC?

For Example, my phone was originally on ITV, upgrading to XWKI8 the preconfiguration process can't find ITV, which is normal because ITV is not present in the OXX CSC.

Can I keep it in this way? Just to avoid a factory reset...

Thanks!

Cheers.

Sure you can ignore this step.

Otherwise (if you are in need of ITV CSC) using one of Intratechs

I'm new to this, but am I right in saying that I can download this file and using Odin I can flash my O2 branded Galaxy SII from current stock 2.3.3 to 2.3.5? :confused:

Many thanks :rolleyes::D
[Galaxy S II General] ronj1986:
It's not a stupid question. Yes only check the CSC box in Odin & choose the CSC only that you want when flashing.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSopranos16:
For those of you who don't want to wait for ChainFire's KI8 kernel, thought I'd let you all know that I was able to root by flashing ChainFire's KI3 Kernel. I just let it boot once and then I flashed back to the stock KI8 kernel that Intratech provided. It actually crashed a minute after booting with KI3 but it ran long enough to get the root done and now its perfectly fine with the stock kernel.

This worked for me, but YMMV.
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
Any comments on how this rom is performing? Better than ki3? Today I got the best battery life ever on ki3 18 hrs and 60% battery remaining.
[Galaxy S II General] fasst:
Answering myself.

Flashed the above without any issues so far.
[Galaxy S II General] :
My opinion, much better than KI3. Overall performance. To early to comment on battery.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSopranos16:
I can't tell much of a difference from KI3 thus far (but I've had it less than an hour). The annoying vibration icon is still there though. It seems just as fast, maybe faster. Got my first ever quadrant over 5000 (I'm OC to 1.5GHZ). Time will tell on the battery but KI3 was good so it has a lot to live up to.
[Galaxy S II General] akbarhash:
Hi bro i got a fix for you same thing was happening to my phone so i went to titanium backup and wiped the data from these two green things in the screenshot please try and respond if it works.

I think the real culprit is the second part.

SMS MMS Dialer Thingy.

Please try and report if it is working.
[Galaxy S II General] gasmias:
Can i flash ki8 via flash kernel option in cwm app (cf-root) (zimage file)?
[Galaxy S II General] _Sofos_:
Do you know if there will be any issues if i change change only my CSC with the KI8 one (since i need it to be EUR)??

I know that means a factory reset etc, will have a backup but any clues if that's a bad "move" ?
[Galaxy S II General] Dark Emotion:
Wi-fi connection still breaks? Or is it fixed?
[Galaxy S II General] bernard134:
Same! XWKI8 the android.phone is not responding therefore force close, then turn into flight mode then force close (looping) and CSC is unknown. I have already give up and flash back to XXKI3 v2.3.5 3hours ago. I shall wait for "XX" series update then. This is the first rom that i encounter so many problem although i flash so many countless rom.
[Galaxy S II General] akbarhash:
Please try the fix in post 124

Edit: For the sake of people i tried it again i can tell surely the problem lies in the sms/mms thingy in aatached screenshot shown in post 124.

Just click on it and wipe data. Works like a charm.
[Galaxy S II General] bernard134:
Its work for you, but i didn't root my SGS II so cannot try, but i wonder why this rom will cause the force close. Hmm, although yup...i have the magic usb jig! keke!
[Galaxy S II General] akbarhash:
Ok i will try to do it without titanium backup and reply.

Edit: Sorry, I tried, does not work if you don't use titanium backup. In settings>applications>manage>all

There is dialer storage but you don't get the option to clear data so does not work.

Can I update to this one using Heimdall?

If so?, let me ask you one problem I have with it.

It is not recognizing the phone when I click on start. To start the flash.

It says: Unable to find compatible device.

I use Ubuntu. So cannot go Odin.

I know that with Odin, when you are going to flash, you set the phone in download mode, then plug it, and wait for the Odin to recognize it.

What about heimdall? I see nothing that tells me that it has been recognized by heimdall.

Any idea is well appreciated.
[Galaxy S II General] akbarhash:
Not many people have flashed using heimdall.

maybe get better answer in heimdall thread.

[Galaxy S II General] SaneinOne:
Look in Intratech's thread in Original Development forum.
[Galaxy S II General] stefan.pilsu:
For bernard134 and others::::

There is a thread for it in sgs2 general.

Basicly you have two options:

1. Factory reset after flashing and restore user apps via titanium backup

2. Root your phone after flashing and remove /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/nwk_info.db

it will be recreated during next boot.
[Galaxy S II General] maxvanni:
XWKI8 with stock kernel :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
So far so good with KI8. Performance wise it's fast as all hell. However, can I tell a difference between KI3 and KI8, not really. It's like driving at 190mph and then increasing the speed to 195mph. As a driver would you notice that subtle difference, probably not. The new modem is improved for me. Call quality is excellent as is sound. Data speeds are about the same as they were with KI3. Still present is the choppy scrolling when going from screen 1 to screen 7 and vice versa. Too early to tell about battery life.

Try moving to earlier stock firmware (XWKI4 for NEE) and, complete reset including data and upgrade to XWKI8 NEE.
[Galaxy S II General] account2002:
For the android.phone FC you could try a way I did some time ago.

So:

Take any file manager with root access and go to

/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases

mount RW

Backup "nwk_info.db", delete it, then reboot.

System should recreate "nwk_info.db" file and FCs should end.

I've just updated mine this evening, and now it keeps randomly rebooting. It's just sitting there on the table rebooting occasionally.

I updated through Kies. I have not rooted it (never had it rooted). I've not done a factory reset, since I would be annoyed to set it all up again (widgets, settings, scores etc.). And with no root (I have no intentions of rooting it) I can't really use TitanBackup, or can I?

[Galaxy S II General] mathieulh:
Don't flash the international modem on an AT&T phone unless you want to screw up your modem, the baseband isn't the same at all, the AT&T one doesn't handle UMTS900 (which means poor indoor coverage in the EU btw)

[Nexus S General] dccxviii:
I've been looking at the threads but so far I don't believe there's one that tells you what to do if you've actually installed the official OTA update?

I.e. I have an rooted 2.3.4 GT-I9023 with an unlocked bootloader. With no clockwork or anything, as to be honest the last time I used it (on my old HTC DHD) it made my phone unstable (the phone would sometimes boot up of its own accord and stop at the clockwork screen).

Does anyone know how to re-root the NS after it's installed the official OTA update without clockwork?

Thanks

Edit: Downloading the OTA update won't relock the boot-loader will it?
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
You cannot get root back without a custom recovery. OTA will not relock the bootloader, you'll just lose root and custom recovery.

You need to flash custom recovery using fastboot, then flash superuser to get root back. There are plenty of guides in the stickies describing the process.
[Nexus S General] dccxviii:
Ok, so i'm updated to 2.3.6 but of course have lost root (never had CWM to begin with on this phone). Anyone know where I can DL CWM (i'm assuming it needs to be flashed via platform-tools directory in the android sdk per normal) and the latest su file?

EDIT: nvm, I found the latest CWM and successful flashed (my method was correct). However I've not been able to find the latest superuser.zip to flash yet. Also, I don't know why ppl say to use the market as I don't see how that method can work. I've already got superuser installed from before I updated but that doesn't help me get root. Only flashing the zip from recovery (as I understand it) would. Which renders the market useless in this regard.

/confused
[Nexus S General] Rem3Dy:
The superuser app checks to see if you have the latest superuser binary and will download and instalk it. Or download superuser from within rom manager.
[Nexus S General] dccxviii:
Ok..the binary update fails (because i don't have root) so it's chicken and egg as far as I can tell.
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
You where already told. Flash custom recovery via fastboot. Boot into it and flash su.zip Same way it was done prior to update to the ota. Same as it always was and will be.
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
You can find superuser zip here:

http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?231-Superuser-2.3.6.3-17-June-2011&

Flash in custom recovery.
[Nexus S General] dccxviii:
You've misunderstood what i'm after. Thanks for trying to help tho

Thanks! As far as I can tell you're the first with the link I was after the entire time.

EDIT: Bah, I get a signature verification error when applying the update >.<
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
Turn off signature verification in CWM and try again.
[Nexus S General] dccxviii:
Turns out that CWM got overwritten by stock android recovery. Re-flashing CWM and then flashing su did the trick. I'm rooted once more!

Thanks for your help kind sir! :D

Curious as to how to make CWM stick for next time tho *shrug*
