How to change CSC on Samsung Galaxy S2?

Just type *#272*Device IMEI# at Phone dial pad.

Select the CSC that you want.

Click Install.

Phone will be rebooted by itself.

That’s all.
[Galaxy S II General] chasem:
Followed your instructions and everything got updated and installed perfectly... Thank you so much!

This is working so much better than my previous rom.

The keyboard is very smooth.

Questions regarding KLPB

After reading all the threads about ICS and the leaks I found that this could be a stable release to try for everyday use.

Did a factory reset, cleaned cache, dalvik, battery stats and flashed using pit.

Everything went well except for a copule of things that I still can't figure out.

Calendar app keeps giving me FC's randomly and don't know why.

Social Hub does not sync facebook contacts, and since I haven't read of anyone complaining about it I don't know if it is a problem of my phone or the contacts syncing is not enabled yet. The issue is that with GB I used to have my Google, Facebook, Twitter and Hotmail contacts all synced and linked under contacts and I was hoping to do the same on the new People app from ICS, problem is... I can't.

And finally, the TW does not have those 3d efects seen on the video of the fist post, instead I have the ability to go round the screens on the home and the app tray... I don't see it bounce (like it is supposed to do, kinda what the gallery does on GB...)

Did the flash go wrong and kept some remntants of my old firmware or what.

Any help will be appreciated.

thanks!!

Martin.-

[XXLPB] "low on space" notification but it's actually NOT!

just update the phone ytd to LPB from KK5 but there is a problem which I have looked around XDA and google it for a day and try to fix it with many methods but still fail.

my notification bar keeps on saying "low on space, phone storage space is getting low" but it actually not.

---Space Available---

Internal Storage: 194MB

USB Storage: 1.34GB

SD Card: 3.23GB

Because of the "low" on space, when I install anything from market, it will always say "insufficient phone storage" and prohibit me to install anything. Even I have tried to install other apks not from market, the problem still exists. And also when I want to restore apps from titanium, it will not restore (the restore app bar didnt move forward). Now I cant install any app to my phone.

It can download and install app properly before just after I flash the new beta rom but after a few hours (and some restarts) the above problem appeared and I cant find any solutions with google.

I have tried to wipe cache/dalvik, fix permissions, mount and unmount SD card, delete some apps/destory market links and restore them back, etc.

Anyone using LPB having this simliar issue as well? any ideas to fix it?

help!
[Galaxy S II General] MasterTB:
I will, just in case...

Anyway, what about the Facebook contacts on Social Hub, do you see the option to sync or not?

I do like that feature from GB and I am NOT going to install the facebook app just for that, it sucks!

---------- Post added at 10:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 AM ----------

Your internal storage seems too low... How many apps do you have installed?

That internal, if I'm not mistaken is about 2GB, if you only see 194 MB then there is something eating all that space.
[Galaxy S II General] vinceyeung:
I have install 400+ apps that's why...but 194MB shouldnt be too low when i just wanna download and install Adfree app(less than 1MB) from Market
[Galaxy S II General] mojoxy:
Severe Battery Issues!

Hi guys,

I want to thank everybody for this great thread. Since today I was more the "reading-type" forum user. With all your posts you helped me out very well without even asking one question :D

I am running XXLBP since the leak around a week ago. Until today I had no great issues. Sure sometimes it is a little slow and apps crash but hey it's still a beta (or even an alpha?). So nothing really to complain about.

But yesterday when I charged my phone I faced an creeping issue. But first things first:

1) My phone asked for the charger. Very well - I plugged it in.

2) After a few hours it made that "I am full sound - dling-dling". As I was playing some PS3 I did not react to it and did not unplug it (never had problems with that anyway, sometimes even charged it overnight so it was plugged in for ~8h).

3) Another few hours later it made the same "I am full sound" again. So now I was a bit wondered and checked it.

The phone was freaking hot. Not just warm when you use it extensively. No it really burned! I unlocked the screen and received a message (something like this, can't remember exactly):

"Battery loading stopped due to too high battery heat!" (well I realized that myself already...).

Also the battery empty warning appeared.

Immediately I unplugged it, switched it off and removed the battery. This thing was even hotter than the phone. Could have cooked some eggs on that - no kidding!

I kept it lying there for around an hour to cool down. Then I put it back in to see whether it still worked. It did. Booted regularly and gave me the battery low warning again. I checked the battery status to see whether it loaded at all and got this screenshot (see attachments).

So it loaded quite normal but then unloaded right after it was finished. I have no idea what happened here. I hope my battery is not broken now. Well a new one would only be like 20€ (I am from EU) but anyway. (I am just wondering. I did not root my phone - just installed this leak. I did lose my warrenty due to that, didn't I!?)

Did anyone else have this issue? I could not find it in this thread yet. Maybe there is a bug in the "battery-loading-algorithm". So everybody:

DO NOT LOAD YOU BATTERY WITH XXLBP INSTALLED UNATTENDETLY!

You have been warned :D
[Galaxy S II General] vinceyeung:
It is quite hot (around 55C checked by app) when it's charging...it's not like that before (when i use KK5)
[Galaxy S II General] lamerto:
I left it charging overnight, and in the morning when I unplugged it and put it in my pocket, I didn't feel it hot or anything...
[Galaxy S II General] mojoxy:
Like I said I run it since the leak and obviously had to charge it before this incident. It was working like a charm before (and does right now, too) but there might always be a possibility that this repeats.

I don't want to imagine what might have happed if I hadn’t around to unplug it...

Will not charge it unattended till the next leak (which might be soon hopefully) ;)
[Galaxy S II General] MikeMaMan:
Yep, my mistake. I gave wrong advice :/
[Galaxy S II General] x-men222:
mojoxy can run three days with One accu ?

i have XXLPB installed and the maximum time with one accucharge is 1.5 Days with normal use
[Galaxy S II General] 4ktvs:
I still need help, how to open the file. Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] mojoxy:
Nah not really. The phone was idle most of the time. Didn't use it much the last days as I was primarily at home studying for exams...

With "normal" use I am at one to one and a half days. Depends on how much I use 3G.
[Galaxy S II General] thorvick:
System certificates????

I have quickly downloaded and installed the XXLPB firmware a couple of days ago from blogotechblog(dot)com. Google search "Install ICS XXLPB"

The downloaded file size is not the same as the one here 366.7 MB instead of 336.3 MB and I have just noticed that there are a lot of system certificates that I had never noticed on my previous stock firmware.

When I go to Settings>Security>Trusted Credentials

There’s probably ~100 trusted system certificates and it’s impossible to delete them with “Clear credentials”. They belong to all sort of companies, Governments, Banks, etc from various countries in the world.

It’s possible to remove them with Root Explorer though, but after doing that Google Music doesn’t work anymore although there aren’t any Google certificate. This seems rather odd. Any idea why this certificates are there? And why removing the whole content of /System/etc/Security/cacerts/ is a problem with google music?
[Galaxy S II General] rigosj:
It does, but you must set manually the csc-code and your 3g is going to work like charm.

The CSC for my provider Vodafone UK isn't on the list.
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
Hi.

Got a couple of issues, this isn't working for me at all.

Just tried to flash LPB, and:

- after factory reset, it doesn't do "initial setup", just goes straight to the homescreen

- it doesn't ask for my SIM PIN (yes, the SIM *is* PIN locked)

- due to not asking for the SIM PIN, no network access, yet it shows "full receipion"

- holding power button shuts down, instead of giving the menu.

I reflashed 50 times, did factory resets, set different CSCs.... no go.

Anyone any idea?
[Galaxy S II General] catolh:
I want to be positive about one thing before i try this out. Can i revert to stock after i have flashed this?

If so, what do i do beforehand?

(currently running stock everything, but rooted with superoneclick)

*edit*

Nevermind, i flashed CWM and i am doing a full backup. So i have something to revert to if i don't like this leak.
[Galaxy S II General] timberwolf60:
Used the CSC including the code. Myself was on Singapore StarHub provider so I used this CSC: CSC_I9100OLCKL2.tar.md5 and STH for Starhub and it automatically created my network APN. Once booted up and I have the 3G internet connection.

Another method was restored back your previously working version. Used titanium backup to backup [SMS/MMS/APN]Dialer storage. Then you upgraded to xxlpb ROM and used titanium backup to restored back [SMS/MMS/APN]Dialer storage. Hope your problem solved and enjoy.
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
Nope, not solved unfortunately.

My problem is not the APNs, my problem is all of what I stated above, there's way more not working than just the APNs, basically the whole "accessing the SIM" isn't working.
[Galaxy S II General] catolh:
how do i do this?
[Galaxy S II General] timberwolf60:
Sure you can. My method:

1) purchased mobile Odin pro from market, used mobile Odin to flash cf root kernel.

2) Run CWM application which was a bonus of cf root kernel and backup your existing ROM with names given.

3) Used mobile Odin to flash xxlpb ROM. A good point was it never gave you the yellow warning triangle and not increased the binary counter, very importance was your system still remain rooted with workable CWM recovery.

4) Once you successfully upgraded to xxlpb and enjoy.

5) If you not happy with xxlpb or anything go wrong, then used CWM application to restore back your ROM which was worked for you previously. This restoration process is only few minutes and you will be backed.

Read up first few post on mobile Odin by Chainfire. This is a must have application with no regret.
[Galaxy S II General] Baldilocks:
I have noticed that battery life is not nearly as good as it was with Gingerbread 2.3.5, especially when using 3G. Hopefully that's addressed in the final build(s).

[Galaxy S II General] catolh:
Is anyone else having problems with samsung apps? I am getting an error message when i start it. (This e-mail address cannot be used in this country). So i cannot install Dead space :(

I backed it up with titanium pro, but it seems it wont restore it? Just says restoring app, and stays like that forever.

And when i try to install through samsung apps i am getting an error (even if modern combat 2 & 3 went ok.
[Galaxy S II General] Delicolor:
I found that the camera app went a bit flakey on me yesterday after taking a few shots- the controls went, just leaving a small phone image top right over the picture. If I touched the screen, the flash lit up but it didn't take a picture. A reboot got it back to normal though.

One other minor hiccup- the Subway App won't install on ICS.
[Galaxy S II General] Elvispen:
Tried it for a couple of days, TW got better but I'm still allergic to it.

Went with XXLPB + Nova launcher, then it got a whole lot better but not as smooth as GB KI8 with launcher pro.

Got every thing to work but not satisfied enough to run it as a daily basis rom cause of the micro lag in both tw and nova launcher.

Looking forward to the official release and an future update of nova launcher to get it as smooth as I want.
[Galaxy S II General] mojoxy:
Chrome Beta

Another thing I noticed is that Chrome Beta does not work on this leak. Just crashes instantly for me. Quite sad as the browser is really nice and finally addresses all those wishes I had for almost a year (Firefox provided those features too but was kinda unstable...).

I doubt that Chrome Beta is the reason as it runs almost fully stable on my Motorola XOOM with ICS.
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
It's slightly better with CM9 but still crashes often. It's guaranteed to crash when you use the tab gesture and the magnifying class for links. Looks great though, so I hope they fix it.
[Galaxy S II General] catolh:
Reverted back to 2.3.5. Suddenly things started not installing. Only error messages telling me unable to install on sd card or usb.

[Galaxy S II General] X82X:
Just as a head up for people. I had a small glitch today which could have been a problem. The area around the rear camera and flash got warm, ok fair enough. But while I had it connected to my computer via usb, it stated on the screen it was charging. After an hour or two it beeped at me telling me I had 15% battery left. Only solution was to remove the battery and try again and now it worked. Is this an issue anyone else is familiar with?

Hi blackgf,

This should help you. Also information from chainfire.

[Galaxy S II General] krazykat:
Yes you should try it because you are curious.

It is not hard to revert back but it will be somewhat technical - if you aren't familiar with flashing via odin, then I say it would be harder.

No this is not the final release. The official one will be coming in a few weeks (so Samsung says) - mar 1.
[Galaxy S II General] cloneme:
Thanks akbarhash, I did restore ICS backup onto my GB v2.3.5 so I redid everything and restored my GB backup I did just before playing with ICS. All going great now.
[Galaxy S II General] catolh:
So, when the official one comes. I have to remove cwm right? Do i flash the original recovery with ODIN? And if so, where might i find the stock recovery?
[Galaxy S II General] CtlAltDefeat:
I think a CWM flashable will probably be released not sure.
[Galaxy S II General] mojoxy:
Thanks! But still these dates are just rumors und unconfirmed by Samsung.

I really doubt there will be a release within the next two weeks concerning the rather unstable ICS-Image we are running now.

Although they might have a more stable version at hand I doubt Samsung would roll that out untested...
[Galaxy S II General] dragon135:
Anyone knows when will the next leak come?
[Galaxy S II General] akbarhash:
Hey, no problem it's a common mistake. If you are restoring from different Android versions you should just restore applications. Restoring system apps and setting can cause bootloops.

Update via Keis will only be possible if your divice is running the correct software for you region of the world..

If your not running the correct Fw, Keis will not recognize your divice, which means no update..

[Galaxy S II General] mojoxy:
Well let me put it that way: For a beta it is very stable indeed. But there are some rare freezes and random restarts happening here and there. Some apps do not work as intended or at all.

This can be in no way acceptable for Samsung as an official release. People who are not into Smartphone-Modding (or however you would call using custom roms and flashing) would rage at them if they would hand this out to public.
