Tried it, but I don't like the handling.

But thanks for the suggestion.
[Galaxy S II General] EARNEST_EU:
I noticed that after I rooted my phote with the root/unroot method, camera screen is black, although the phone does take pictures. I installed this fix. It helped.

And I also have reception issues. Sometime the phone is out of signal. Any fixes for that?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Try to flash another modem.

You can find some modem files here => http://www.veyka.co.uk/radios/

They are CWM-flashable zip files, so you need to flash CWM first.

Good luck !

I have CF Root kernel now installed. I want to go back to stock kernel or any other good kernel working good on this firmware(XWLPM).
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
For stock kernel, you can install Mobile Odin app and flash only the kernel part of the ROM.

Or extract the zImage file from the ROM tar file and flash it with CWM Manager app - flash kernel option and select it.
[Galaxy S II General] gevans35:
I have installed LPM with XEULP5 CSC using Mobile Odin. Kaspersky Mobile Security (full version or lite) will not work at all with this ROM and I've had to replace it with Avast.

Serial number is now 000000000, which is presumably because Mobile Odin doesn't flash the bootloader. Does anyone know how flash the 4.0.4 bootloader on it's own using the standard PC based Odin. I don't want to flash the complete ROM with Odin as I prefer to stick with XEULP5 CSC.

ROM seems fast and stable. Too early to report on battery life.
[Galaxy S II General] ricnar456:
serial number is not changed or lost, only is bad displayed in 4.0.4, if you return to 4.0.3 the serial displays again

this don't have any effect in the phone, when the bug will be fixed in new 4.0.4 your serial appear again.

[Galaxy S II General] Lukiqq:
4.0.4 is pretty good for now but few important things have changed in kernel and we have to wait for Update5 sources to got fully working custom kernels.

What is broken after flashing custom kernel based on 4.0.3 (Update4) sources to the current 4.0.4 release:

H/W accelerated videos

Camera/Camcorder (no preview, capture is working fine)

Bluetooth

some problems with WiFi

PS. There will be Galaxian kernel soon ;)
[Galaxy S II General] combat44:
Siyah-v3.4.1 - Bluetooth working fine
[Galaxy S II General] Lukiqq:
There is a fix for it so it is working probably just fine, but this is our fix, to make it work 100% stable we need updated Sammy sources.
[Galaxy S II General] gevans35:
So it is not the same issue we had when using 4.0.3 ICS ROMS with Gingerbread bootloader?
[Galaxy S II General] EARNEST_EU:
Any particular recommendations, mate?
[Galaxy S II General] drelite08:
Camera screen still doesn't work with siyah kernel latest.
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:

In case of NON WIPE issues

Anyone with CM9 that failed to wipe and installed "I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar.md 5" ... you're likely caught in a boot loop. Here's what to do:

Get back into download mode and reflash with the CF_Root file that's included in the SAMSUNG.RAR download you can find within this thread. This should allow you to boot into RECOVERY mode (volume up, home, and power). Do your factory wipe from there. Reboot.

At this point you're likely stuck at SAMSUNG logo ... go back into DOWNLOAD MODE and reflash with "I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar.md 5".

This was my experience so don't panic.
[Galaxy S II General] Anfieldshankly:
Didn't try and delete the Network Prefix length as it was correct in my case as well. If that's all it was I am baffled at to why Samsung would propagate fields with the correct information only for us the users to delete the information to move on???? They should have left the field blank or wrote LOL or something else...
[Galaxy S II General] cyberjew:
So I started the upgrade using Odim 1.85. The upgrade gets to the point where Odim says "SetupConnection" and it just hangs. I waited 15 minutes, then disconnected the cable and rebooted the phone.

Now it says "Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again".

Do you think I need to re-flash with the Samsung.rar file and try again? If so, would you please tell me what the process is to do that?

Did you extract the .rar and use the .tar files?

You're not supposed to flash the .rar
[Galaxy S II General] darioaquino:
i got rooted with super one click too, and after flash ics with odin, the root gone, so, you have to flash again with the rooted kernell added in the first post, and then flash again with the stock kernel to remove the yellow triangle of the boot. the two files are attached in the first post
[Galaxy S II General] dvogonen:
Oups

I came from CM9 so I made shure to wipe cash and data before I flashed the ROM. As many others I got caught in a boot loop. This is particularly bad for me since my home button gave up breath a while back. I simply can not use v-up+power+home to get into the original boot manager and clear data. I used the CM boot manager to clear data to start with. Obviously that does not work 100%

Clearly I need to clear all data, but I can se no way of doing that at the moment. I tried reformat with Odin, but that didnt help.

Any bright ideas?
[Galaxy S II General] DMac93:
If ODIN hangs at all, then there's a problem. I haven't experienced it myself, but I have from time to time doing CM9 updates from the single file through recovery. It it's anything similar, I just redownloaded the file. I'm reaching here, but perhaps it's the file?

Make sure KIES isn't running - that's RULE #1 when going ODIN mode.
[Galaxy S II General] Borisdmitri:
I don't know if this is a bug. LPQ can show the weather in the lock screen, but temperature always read 0.0C.

does this happened to anyone else?

I'm also having short battery life, but i'll keep testing to see if it improves over time.

Scrolling doesn't feel as natural as in 2.3.6. I also miss FB Contact's sync and integration.

Nice widgets for Gmail and G.reader, but it feels weird that they are 3x3 and not 4x3.

Social Updates Widget is a wonderfull adittion, and social hub is a lot better.

Also, it accept's higher resolution pictures for contacts, but, the calling screen shows the same size as previous. i think samsung should put bigger pictures in calling screen, now that they allow higher resolution.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.RS4:
Tree things?

1.Do Titanium Pro work on this latest ICS ROM? And use "old" app`s + data to install again(yes I know there are not all app`s that are working yet)

2.Can I install this new ROM(one file) with Mobil Odin?

Instructions For Flashing ICS:

- With 1 File In The Package:

Extract the firmware

Open the included Odin

Put your device into Download MODE (Home + Volume Down + Power)

Click PDA and select *.tar.md5

Then finally click START!

3.Install Root with Mobil Odin?

[Galaxy S II General] fishingfon:
Hi, i have a few qustions.

does it matter what country you are in? as i live in australia, and i want to have all the features that i would get if i waited for the official release of it in australia.

and if i flash this rom via odin, will i be able to get OTA updates in the future (ie; in settings go to: about phone/software updates/check for updates now) or will i have to download the update and flash it via odin?.

Thanks heaps for anyone who can help

Cheers Corey
[Galaxy S II General] darioaquino:
weird.. did you try "España"..

the yellow triangle in the boot indicates that the kernell is not from stock, is a custom kernel, its a warning sign i think.. its not big deal, once you have the phone rooted with the custom kernel, you can flash again with the stock kernel, the root remains and the yellow triangle gone.

[Galaxy S II General] iozzo:
Speaking of mobile odin. Got a quick question.

I flashed the leaked 4.0.4 trough mobile odin and I am now on LPM which again I have flashed trough mobile odin.

I don't even remember how I first rooted back in GB since I have been using mobile odin for quite some time now.

Now, if I change the CSC via the app in the app store will I risk a bricked phone ? Like I said, I rooted (don't honestly remember how) back in GB and being flashing with mobile odin since, hence flashing with root injected automatically.

[Galaxy S II General] Borisdmitri:

[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Yes, since flashed no FC/no freeze/no SOD.

Everything stable so far.

I don't know about the eMMC bug in XWLPO - why should it be different than in XWLPM?!

We have to be careful when using injected CWM (or CWM from "unsafe" kernels) ... and only wipe when it's needed - best with factory reset in stock kernel.

Then we can blame Samsung in case of a brick ;)
[Galaxy S II General] khal_nayak:
eMMC bug is gone coz i did a factory reset using stock kernel and stock recovery 2 times and im able to boot just fine eventhough i have that faulty eMMC firmware, even tried siyah kernel and did a cache and dalvik clear and no problems

ummm i m a bit confused here...

i wanna upgrade to the latest LPO (4.0.4), cuz em sick of music stuttering bug in LPB (4.0.3) [ stock kernel + rooted ]

my query is:

is it safer to install the latest fw???

(b/c i always format + wipe data, cache, dalvic in CWM5 before fresh installing any rom through ODIN)

can someone please make an ultimate step by step safe tutorial for noobs like me...???

help me out guys...

cheers
[Galaxy S II General] drelite08:
You've answered your own question lol. Just do what you've always done when flashing. But yes this new LPO rom is stable and safe. Battery life seems much better at a first impression too compared to the other 4.0.4 firmwares.
[Galaxy S II General] aakib:
so what you saying is i should download the latest fw *.tar file for odin...

through me CWM5 i should wipe everything... then go into DL mode to install the new fw from Odin...

btw how shall i get the root??? which kernel is best for rooting for the new 4.0.4 [i used to get the root through upgrading to TouchCWM5 in the default rec... after then i install the superuser.zip file to root] shall i do the same for it?

is everything working with stock kernel?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
There are different ways/method to root the stock ROM.

I used Mobile Odin app to flash XWLPO ROM + CF-Root kernel v5.6 for XXLQ5 - worked fine.

In Pro version, there is an EverRoot option ... that's the easiest way IMO.

But you can flash another rooted kernel or use the "injected CWM" method from here => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1501719.

[Galaxy S II General] aakib:
so u saying that injecting CWM is the safest for rooting... it wont gonna brick me SGS2 right?

n wuh i've heard is that we wont gonna have emmc bug in this rom... so last thing i wanna ask u is: IS IT COMPLETELY SAFE TO INSTALL THIS NEW LPO... & EVERYTHING WORKING WITHOUT ANY ISSUES???
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
I did not say that any rooting method is the safest for rooting.

It is always up to you.

I have rooted XWLPO by flashing it with Mobile Odin app - and changing the Kernel to CF-Root kernel v5.6 for XXLQ5.

Another unsafe kernel

*** WARNING ***

I inspected the XWLPO kernel's bytecode and MMC_CAP_ERASE is still enabled! This means the kernel is again unsafe for the erase operation - brick possibility.

Do not use use CWM wipe with this.

(I am still unsure about which exact wipe conditions might trigger this - CWM? stock recovery? Secret *# code for factory reset? etc.)
[Galaxy S II General] Honzze:
Besides featuring the "unsafe" kernel - did you have a chance to look into the ActiveSync portion? I guess nothing has changed. Latest infos even state that the EAS bugs still exist in JB, too.

The latest rom has at least one bug. I have my WIFI to turn off when the phone is sleeping. When the phone wakes, the wifi won`t connect, I need to turn off wifi and turn on again. I performed a factory reset in cwm, it is a clean install. It has the same problems home and at work, different routers.
[Galaxy S II General] leolysenko:
So, the wi-fi bug is still there in XWLPO. The kernel is almost like XWLPM with no possibility to use CWM(for wipes and backups). The modem is the same like in previous russian firmware. The only difference is csc - different region and different preinstalled applications.

The new XWLPO is quiet the same like XWLPM.
[Galaxy S II General] Siberian Tiger:
I don't have such problems with wifi running XWLPM :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] neutronz:
enter wifi advanced setting, the change keep wi-fi during sleep option to always

[Galaxy S II General] lsv-1:
Hello guys, before flashing the latest LPO firmware I just wanted to confirm with you that the steps I'm about to follow are correct. Currently I'm at CM9 RC2 with stock kernel.

1. Access recovery, do a nandroid backup, do a factory reset, wipe dalvik cache

2. Reboot into download mode to flash the latest LPO firmware

3. Boot the phone and root it with superoneclick

Following that procedure exposes me to a hard brick?

Edit: Forgot to mention that my emmc chip as per gotbrickbug app is defective.
[Galaxy S II General] lyriquidperfection:
Why is there a big obsession with superoneclick when I built a better suited app for samsung devices?

Here is the thread for Samsung Quick Root:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125414

Imsecure kernels can be found by following the second link in step 2 of the guide.

For now, use XWLPM insecure kernel for rooting until I release XWLPO insecure.

I am always updating Samsung Quick Root and I provide support for all the latest insecure kernels for use with it. :)
[Galaxy S II General] lsv-1:
There's a note on the quick root thread that says that I need to flash an insecure kernel, I don't want to do that, can I use the app with the stock LPO kernel? Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
It's not exactly something you can just start doing overnight. It took me quite a bit of time to start understanding this stuff.

Nevertheless, here are some pointers:

- Unpack the zImage file so you have the kernel code. There are several post explaining how to do it, here's one example

- Read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, ... until you understand the ARM instructions and architecture. One obvious place to start is the ARM company itself, here. But there is plenty of information if you google for it.

- Browse kernel sources and understand them. You can download at opensource.samsung.com (e.g. GT-I9100_ICS_OpenSource_Update6.zip) and look especially at the drivers/mmc folder

- Decompile the zImage code (you need a tool for that, such as objdump which comes with the NDK - instructions)

- Have fun matching the C code to the ARM instructions :D

Based on my analysis both of the kernel and of the recoveries, I strongly advise against using any 4.0.4 stock kernel at all. Even the stock recovery calls unsafe stuff. The probability might not be as high (e.g. the /cache partition is smaller than /data) but it's still there.

The kernel is unsafe! If doesn't block rogue/badly-written binaries from requesting an erase action on the internal sdcard, which could lead to permanent damage.

I don't care if there are evidences or not of someone having a brick from wiping only from the stock recovery. I've looked at the code!

Even if there aren't any reports, take into account that the universe of people reporting this kind of stuff in forums is likely composed of a huge portion of folks that use CWM (and reported bricks). Guys that would use just the normal recovery perhaps aren't power users and are less likely to participate in the forums, leading to a much less probability of having reports of stock recovery issues.

Also, take into account that using the temporary CWM method (installing it from the stock recovery) has its risks as well. The kernel will not block any wipe operation that this temporary CWM might peform, either directly or as part of flashing a zip file that can contain wipe instructions in its installation script!
[Galaxy S II General] mathsmart:
I flashed stock xwlpo with mobile odin wish autoroot the device and its working just fine for me !

Just wait cfroot xwlpo to have cwm and you will be able to make a backup

You can always flash siyah 3.4.1 to put back an old backup ! But i dont suggest u to use it with xwlpo cause i found youtube problem with it :(
