i have stock gingerbread. I can flash this firmware.

But one thing unclear is that do i need to to flash bootloader? Cause when i had captivate. I had to flash bootloader first then flash custom rom.

PS: it doesn't even rooted yet. please explain step by step. I'd grateful for that :P
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Look at first post - there is already a short description of how to flash the ROM.

Or have a look here => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

If you flash the ROM with Odin, the bootloader of the ROM will be flashed automatically.

Only when you flash in another way part by part, then you may have to flash the bootloader part explicitly.
[Galaxy S II General] 1edge1:
I have been reading about brickbug and just to make sure:

1)Flash 4.0.4 LPT via odin

2)Flash safe kernel via odin speedmod,siyah etc.

3)Rooted and no brickbug

4)TriangleAway v1.70 to remove yellow triangle

Been using odin since I got my device. Haven't tried mobile odin yet. Is better to use with 4.0.4?

[Galaxy S II General] Riskytwin:

---------- Post added at 07:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------

Is it safe to install LPT with Mobile Odin and CF-ROOT LQ5 v5.6?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Worked just fine on my phone.

So I would say "yes".
[Galaxy S II General] westsider:
is there same version for germany?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Latest officially released firmware version for Germany (DBT) is XWLPI.

But you can flash XWLPT (XEU = UK/Ireland version) as it has German language support included.

Modem works fine for all German mobile carriers too.

guys i got screwed, i was using LPO for 2 weeks now, initially there was no problem, but my fone got bricked yesterday... n now em screwed as samsung doesnt even have proper support for my fone in my ****ty country... :(
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
Sorry to hear that. How exactly did it happen? Did you wipe from CWM? Please explain a little more about what transpired to hard brick your phone.
[Galaxy S II General] aakib:
i did nothing special actually... i was using my phone just normally, after 2 weeks of normal usage of phone it got bricked automatically on the idle mode... n i was like WTF???!!! :mad:

i upgraded to LPO from LPG, used the injectable rec method to root it... (before installing LPO i did complete wipes from CWM)

now em screwed... damn you samsung... Y U NO MAKE A STABLE UPGRADE TO 4.0.4 ???!!!
[Galaxy S II General] nutpants:
Is that a brick? or did the phone just fail? I thought bricking was from wiping with a certain method that cwm uses and not just random fails of the hardware itself.

Either way having your phone brick just sucks no matter how it happened.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Sounds a little bit like a hardware failure.

Does download mode or recovery mode still work?

Or is the phone completely "dead"?
[Galaxy S II General] aakib:
so u telling me that hardware problem occured by phone laying just on the table with no one touching it?

i texted through me fone, n after 30 minutes when i picked up it wasnt responding... its a full brick... nothing shows not even download mode/bootloader... now i've asked mobile repairmen... they saying that i've to get it jtagged... now em screwed... i hate the word jtag now... first me shytbox360 now me samshyt galaxy s2 :(
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
I don't know what the cause of your problem really is.

It was just a guess from what you wrote.

If you haven't done anything, it seems to be no flashing/bricking issue.

Good luck to find a Jtag / service center which can help quickly ... and "cheaply".
[Galaxy S II General] whiskerp:
I.ve just performed a touch CWM cache wipe, Dalvik wipe and then a full restore using this binary patched stock XWLPT. My phone is working perfectly still despite having the emmc bug.

I have gone back to XWLPI because of the poor batter life on XWLPT. Where I would expect XWLPI to have reached 70% battery remaining during the day, XWLPT is more like 40%. I think it's down to the WiFi on XWLPT w hich seems to be a lot more agressive at acanning and switching to a stronger AP.
[Galaxy S II General] cpl.Bower:
with all this Windows 8 storm, seems like android, by now is on 2nd place, at least to me.

Anyways, did you by any chance, touch the voltages?
[Galaxy S II General] aakib:
nopes i neva touched the voltages... i was abit shocked how i got it bricked by doing nothing laying on top of me computer table... anyways a tech guy looked into it... n he told me bootloader is gone... so the only way i can get it retrieved is by JTAG... :(
[Galaxy S II General] nutpants:
How old was your phone? how many times have you flashed it?

Yes I have had hardware working fine one minute and dead the next.

No rhyme out reason.just dead.
[Galaxy S II General] B97:
Sorry if this has been asked before but I just updated to XWLPT via Kies and the font sizes like the clock and where it says task manager in multi tasking are absolutely huge! Is there any way to reduce these? Ignore me if I'm being a noob, thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy S II General] aakib:
me fone was nearly 2 months old... n i had flashed it max 14 times... :/

[Galaxy S II General] igos2:
Am I the only one having this error ? Sinse i updated to ltp, 50% times I install something from the market it ends with error: cant install on sdcard or ext sd.

I resolve this only if I dismount the ext sdcard.
[Galaxy S II General] alferret:
Settings>applications>manage applications>all>clear cache and data and force close google services framework and market. Then reboot your phone twice.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Try to change the default/system font in menu Settings > Display > Font.

Maybe the system needs to refresh the font to display its "normal" size.

Just flash the XWLPT ROM with Odin to your phone as described in the first post.

Or have a look here for a more detailed description of how to flash a new firmware with Odin => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

P.S.:

The software "branding" is related to the CSC part of the firmware. After flashing the UK/Ireland ROM, you will have the UK/Ireland CSC, but you can uninstall or deactivate all "bloatware" apps that you don't want/need.

ICS XWLPG vs XWLPI

Anyone who has used both firmwares, can tell me the difference between XWLPG and XWLPI?
[Galaxy S II General] lyriquidperfection:
Practically the same, just a few internal differences.
[Galaxy S II General] Riskytwin:
Thanks. So it's no worth to change.
[Galaxy S II General] mihaixp:
Nope. IMO, even the 4.0.4 is not worth it. It gives minor improvements (battery percentage and some other tiny things) but it reduces battery life compared to LPG.

I, for one, will be waiting for a more stable JB, and then switch from LPG.
[Galaxy S II General] gabriolinari:
hi there

ive just flashed the most recent ICS file, worked well, no problems during the update, seems nice. just a question, do we have a CF-Root v5.4 file for the XWLPT? can i use another kernel?

[Galaxy S II General] shaq1907:
You can use SiyahKernel or SpeedMod.
[Galaxy S II General] stanley08:
Hey guys, ICS is not available in my Location, so i had to flash ICS with Odin.

I flashed this EXACT one I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar.md5

And then i rooted with Chainfire's modded kernel, this one EXACTLY

CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5.

I also need all wipes including battery stats.

After doing all this, root worked perfectly.

But now, the problem is that some of my games will not just install.

For example, Flick Soccer, FIFA12, TrialX, TrialX2 and a handful of them. I added screenshots of error below.

Also, i have tried to do wipes all over again, but to no avail.

Please tell me what to do. thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] gabriolinari:
is there a guide for those? tnx
[Galaxy S II General] B97:
Nope, that didn't help it, I'm assuming it's supposed to be this large. I've attached a screen shot to show how large it is. It may just be me but it definitely appears significantly larger than 4.0.3.

Check that no apps are saved on the external sd card. Move all apps to the internal sd card. Then reboot.

Maybe it's something similar on yours.

hi guys,

so there's a bluetooth bug on this 4.0.4 stock? overall i like this 4.0.4, and i don't use bluetooth much, anyway i tried to switch it "on" and after a few seconds the slider went back to disabled...no errors or whatever..

i have XWLPT 4.0.4 from first post w/ root via LQ5 kernel with CWM, and camera mod, other things work well!

thanks

[Galaxy S II General] GoNz0:
only fix is a factory reset, its a problem with 4.0.4 it doesn't allow a bug free upgrade.

Ok bummer...so theres no crazy underground fix for that... Well i just finished fixing other stuff, design etc.. I guess no bluetooth for me then! Tnx anyway

Odoslané z GT-I9100 cez Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S II General] gabriolinari:
thanks but i dont wanna do it.

here's my feedback on this update, i installed the latest firmare + camera fix + CWM LQ5 for root.

1 bluetooth doesn't work / unless with factory reset as the guys pointed above (i dont need BT so will live with that)

2 camera issues / i tried a few skype video calls, after the first one that took ages to start the video, now they work, but the video quality on the receiver end (i have a pc connected on the same wifi at home so no lag), looks really terrible, doesnt matter if u try the front or the back camera. with the provided camera fix, the camera itself works well. it looks like if u start the phone and do skype call, quality is a bit better, if u do another call, quality is awful, mistery.

3 battery life seems good, havent had many days to test this really

other than that, with this upgrade my phone does not lose connectivity to the network anymore, before with 2.3.4 in the last weeks it would get stuck for no reason and i had to restart over and over, so this was my major concern... of course now something else is off, but well peace!

good weekend everyone!

Gab
[Galaxy S II General] GoNz0:
i was not aware this needed a camera fix, mine works fine, also the cwm is not for this release, it "just about works"

Yes XWLPT stock kernel does have cap_erase enabled (the brick bug) but please feel free to search for all future questions!

Scrolling?

How is the scrolling in the browser on this LPT rom?

Is it like ICS 4.0.3 or is it like GB?

By that I mean: does 4.0.4 make page scrolls like on 4.0.3 or does it scroll freely like on GB?

Also, regardless of the scroll method above, does the scrolling have microstutters like in 4.03 (but unlike 2.3.x)?

This is the most important point for me to know if I am going to attempt to upgrade. I am running GB 2.3.5 currently and dislike 4.0.3 scrolling behaviour and I hope the scrolling behaviour in 4.0.4 is more like GB than 4.0.3.

Edit: I have searched (a lot) and found some statements, but they were vague and hence I try to ask directly.
[Galaxy S II General] gabriolinari:
wow, now there's also this "brick" thingie.....my phone runs well now, put it on 2 days ago, well a part from Bluetooth which i dont care about....XWLPT 4.0.4 w/ root via LQ5 kernel with CWM, and camera mod...so what is gonna go wrong if i do what? i had 2.3.4 before and the upgrade went smooth like oil...

[Galaxy S II General] cxdz810:
Scrolling is much better on 4.0.4 LPT than on any 4.0.3 that came out, browser is super smooth, feeling is almost like 2.3.6 GB..

Please suggest if any solution is there for my problem.
[Galaxy S II General] gabriolinari:
i have read many threads and it seems there's a bit of confusion. it appears the bug is triggered when you do a wipe / factory reset / restore backup.

can you just answer this: if i DO NOT do any wipe or factory reset / rest nand backup for now, phone runs well, then nothing will happen is that correct?

just to be clear on what i did:

- phone was on 2.3.4

- flashed XWLPT (from first thread here) via Odin, phone performed upgrade itself, all smooth

- installed CF Root XEN_LQ5-v5.4-CWM5 via Odin, got root

- installed Camera Fix

- i tried Chainfire's brick bug check and i DO have the dangerous chip according to that

only thing NOT working is Bluetooth, but due to the above, if i want BT back i need to do a wipe, but if i do that i get the brick bug, therefore i will NOT touch a thing for now. when there's new stock firmare that got fixed, i would put that on.

IS PHONE going to work just like that?

many thanks
