Thanks, downloading it now. But why is that? I thought both ROMs are identical except installed languages.
[Galaxy S II General] xZeDgEx:
I think there was more to the differences than that. But mainly for me it was the scrolling and touch sensitivity that was so much better. Also the double SMS bug with third party SMS apps was fixed too I think.

This is a known issue with LPQ, works fine with LP7.
[Galaxy S II General] SaeMii3N:
Should this be able to be flashed on any Galaxy S II i9100 device and work properly? Because I do have a i9100 but it's not booting up for some reason. I flashed both versions that you have posted, it flashes successfully but when I get to the Samasung Galaxy S II I9100 screen it stays there and just reboots, it doesn't continues on the the Samsung "S" logo screen. I bought my phone in the US from a small cell company, but it is a i9100. I looked up my IMEI number and it says I have an XEF country code, and I looked around and I found that code is for France. Should those versions you have work for my phone? Because they don't.
[Galaxy S II General] ioddrine:
thank you,

it is a non wipe i hope right?

can i flash it just over LPQ without loosing any info?
[Galaxy S II General] mightyox:
Yes, it is non wipe. Do a backup first just in case...

Morning all, Where are we today on the great wait for ICS? Any news?

ICS LPQ

after flash the update with odin,

I have two problems:

1. I don't have a screen lock(no mater what i choose)

2. If i press and hold the power button, i don't have a option to restart, shut down, airplane mod, or silent - just shut down directly

how to fix this???!!

Help me please

thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
1. So under security if you just select "slide" and make sure the lockscreen is enabled immediately

2. This is a new one for me, clear the cache and restart a few times...might give it a kick...or failing that - wipe and re-flash
[Galaxy S II General] adamvnz:
Also if you dont want to change to lp7 I got this from GO

"Messanger Go gomessanger@gmail.com

Mar 20 (1 day ago)

Sorry for this issue, as Samsung Galaxy S II released the official 4.0 upgrade, and modified the the message send/receive interface，so it will cause you to send double messages. GO SMS developers are doing efforts to resolve this issue, and will release a new update version soon. Thank you for your feedback again. Hope you can support GO SMS continully."

USB Debugging

Hi im using official XXLPQ 4.0.3 download from here. When i plug it in with the micro USB no thumbnails show on my laptop anymore for pictures or videos. Debugging mode is no different to leaving it unticked when I connect with this ROM? It doesnt show up as a mass storage device like it did in 2.3.5, just as GT1-I9100 with phone and memory card inside, anyone else have this issue or am I going wrong somewhere? Cheers for any response!
[Galaxy S II General] tudosedan:
uncheck usb debugging
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
have you tried "enabling usb mass storage" in USB utilities - its found under Wireless and Networks in the system settings
[Galaxy S II General] danmullen:
You need to have USB debugging off then go to Wireless and network -> More... -> USB utilities -> Connect storage to PC.

Take out the battery, put it back in and boot in recovery mode (Vol up+ home+ power), then wipe cache and do a factory reset from the menu, reboot it and you should be good to go..
[Galaxy S II General] mr sharpey:
Just in case anyone else gets this problem? :confused:

Ok, I'm now rolling with LP7 and the H3G (Three UK) modem. I really hope this fixes my data issue. When heavily using data, ie: listening to a radio stream, it randomly disconnects entirely from the network, leaving me with a "O" symbol for 5 seconds :eek:, then it connects again.

Currently locked to Kool London :cool: on TuneIn radio......here's hoping it's finally sorted.
[Galaxy S II General] fred_up:
You don't need to untick Debugging.

When you plug your phone into a Windows computer you get a windows popup and on the phone there is a pull down for MTP - just ignore these. If you go into Windows Explorer and select Folders (so you see a folder list), then below Control Panel you will see +GT-I9100. The sub-folder of that is +Phone and that contains the internal SD. You can simply drag and drop between the PC and the phone. It appears to be just as fast as on Gingerbread. When all the transfering has been done, then just unplug the phone - there is no need to Remove from Windows and no need to Disconnect from Android.

Thanks for this update, went with LPQ on my stock Orange UK SG2. installation went very well just doing a factory reset. will let report back if i find any issues.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] SaeMii3N:
I've tried this, but it won't allow me to boot into recovery. It will just start bootlooping at the Samsung Glaxaxy S II I9100 screen. The only thing I seem to be able to do is go into download mode. Thanks for replying, anymore suggestions? I will flash and try to go into recovery in the meantime.
[Galaxy S II General] Chunkydoc:
Here's a question.

Updated to ICS last night using the links on the first page.

However, after multiple fails it finally worked but now I get a Geolocation error with the weather widget.

Any suggestions?

i tried to install I9100XXLPQ on my phone with UHKG7 kernel CF-rooted,after that the screen goes black,its doesnt show anything after yellow triangle screen.

so i think i need I9100UHKG7 firmware for ICS on my device,

my binary counter increased to 7,is that a problem

[Galaxy S II General] kawasakii:
LPQ or LP7 thats the question

I installed LPQ with no issues to speak of a few days ago

all my aps seem to work ( apart from 1 I have just found Play Books crashes )

The phone seems to function as well if not better than before although I had no issues with it before (other than living in a mobile deadzone ).

Battery seems to be no worse than before but having said that no better either.

Features and functionality are an improvement (new toys always seem better )

I have however been following this thread for the duration and have seen several opinions as to which is the best ICS to use in the UK

The LP7

or

LPQ
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
I feel that question will never be answered, me and my boss have been using LPQ since day one in the UK. we've had none of the reported issues from this thread.

on the other hand...there are ALOT of people with issues, probably because the people its working for dont come here to say "its working"

atm...if it works for you stay with what you've got...if it doesnt try the other rom.

although i personally will be flashing the UK unbranded rom...just because.
[Galaxy S II General] yrvn:
Installed without problems but I can't get to download mode now to flash CF-Root :S

Anyone had any issues like me?
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
if you cant get to download mode the usual way (power +vol down +home)

then im sure you can via ADB using the command

adb reboot download​
[Galaxy S II General] danmullen:
Using that view doesn't show thumbnails, the problem that the OP had. It also doesn't show hidden folders, (beginning with a '.'). I don't get any popups, it just defaults to MTP unless you untick USB debugging and choose mass storage mode from the menus.
[Galaxy S II General] @home:
Is it available for UK Retail units via Kies yet?
[Galaxy S II General] yrvn:
Ouch, that hurts! :p That's true (and I knew that I can do that) but as I'm on Windows atm I forgot that I could use adb here lol. Thanks!

[Galaxy S II General] mirsi:
Before you flash this ROM you need reset to factory and wipe.

1. flash CF Root via Odin / pda (download link in first page here)

2. boot to CWM .. wipe

3. Odin / pda >> stock ROM

[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
Where did you get your Handset from?
[Galaxy S II General] tezoide:
UK, unbranded. I've tried the XXLPQ (flashed it twice, after a factory reset), but I wasn't happy with it: laggy scrolling, poor battery performance and it got unusually hot with light use. I'm back to 2.3.4 stock for the time being.
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
well from the 3 version released we can assume its another LPQ...with bug fixes? i doubt it to be honest.
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
sorry i ment who did you purchase it from?
[Galaxy S II General] tezoide:
Got it from ebay, in mint condition :D Came with stock 2.3.3, (UK firmware) and I never had any problems with it. Upgraded it once to 2.3.4 via kies.
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
In Kies under the firmware information/ current firmware version, what letters do you have between the brackets?
[Galaxy S II General] sohanlon07:
I had some issues with this also. It was sending texts messages twice via handcent for some reason and push notifications weren't working. Very strange.
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
I read on this forum earlier, that samsung had changed the way sms is handled..

GoSMS was experiencing the same issues which they were looking into.

so because of the way sms is handled 3rd party client will have to update and change...something.
[Galaxy S II General] tezoide:
XEU. (UK, unbranded). Why is this relevant?
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
Mine Say (CPW), I find it really strange that the branded handsets got 2.3.6 GB and the un-branded Handsets were left on 2.3.4 GB
[Galaxy S II General] sohanlon07:
Thanks for the information. That is problematic. Hopefully it gets resolved soon. I will probably now just wait for the O2 official version before upgrading again.
[Galaxy S II General] slugger09:
So by the looks of it there aren't gonna be any released pushed to the servers today.
[Galaxy S II General] tezoide:
True, I never got an update to 2.3.5, Kies says I have the latest firmware. It is strange... :confused:

[Galaxy S II General] mr sharpey:
Pen and paper :) It's only a few settings.
[Galaxy S II General] Drutt:
Orange here, but flashed with CPW firmware. Usually rooted, but I fancied checking out ICS this week.

At this rate, Checkrom V.7 will be released before Official unbranded ;)
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
Apps no longer have access to write to APN's in ICS so back up and restore is not possible.

hi guys,

just a few questions,

ok so i have a Galaxy S2 (SimFree UK) bought From Carphone Warehouse:

PDA:I9100XWKI4

PHONE:I9200XXKI1

CSC:I9100CPWKH1

Build Info: Wed Sep 14 2011

Android 2.3.4

now i have been trying to follow the ICS update thing and have my phone rooted and am thinking on trying ICS 4.0.3 ...

My sim in the phone is Three UK so i know the UK 3 Rom is linked on Sammobile which i have downloaded ... and understand i need to use Odin

but just wondering if it is a Wipe or Non Wipe BUILD as in will i loose all settings etc ??

newish to this stuff

also before i update any onw know how i can get a download link of my current build >? or do i need to get clockwork mod and do an backup ?
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
right,

well...it CAN be no-wipe, i did mine not wiping kept all my settings.

BUT

it is good general practise to wipe the device just to be sure, tbh i would try it without wiping, if it doesnt work...go back wipe the device reflash.

oh and you current build can be found https://sites.google.com/site/rizandroid/home or on sammobile
[Galaxy S II General] slugger09:
So has nothing been pushed today then?
[Galaxy S II General] RLFeathers:
I notice builds that seem to be related to the specific area they will be used; i.e., Poland, UK or whatever. I'm in Turkey and have an imported phone - not bought from the local providers. Is there a generic kernel and build I should be using for this area? I know that I'm not going to get the upgrade to ICS from the provider (TurkCell)
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
nothing has come out today
[Galaxy S II General] tudosedan:
thanks, but i tried a poland, hungary and again poland, and nothing change.

not a problem, but not full ics
[Galaxy S II General] wanam:
I think it's easy to fix, check if a file named "keystr" is localed on "efs/emei/", if not, create one, this file should contain one word "ON", permissions should be 664, that's all save and reboot.

Hop this will fix it for you.
[Galaxy S II General] xx-scream-xx:
please just help me over her!!

i downloaded the ics for Samsung galaxy s 2 i found that doesn't support Arabic keyboard and when i press the numbers it takes few second to enter>> i just wanna know if their any version support for Arabic keyboard.. thnx...i don't wont to install go keyboard
