Boys and Girls I'm really happy with this firmware! It is definitely better then any firmware till date, also the experience is similar to GB.
[Galaxy S II General] beastobadness:
Being on O2 UK myself, I flashed this with odin, cos Kies was being its usual unreliable self and I have to totally agree - this is smooth as a babies hiney!

Can't wait for the CF-Root version though!

NEED ROOT.... MUST ROOT.... HURRY PLEEAASEE :D
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Frankenstein version without the O2 branding is now available in the official firmware thread. :)

Am I OK to upgrade to ICS using Kies/Odin if I'm running CF-Root with 2.3.5? I'm assuming the upgrade will work, but it will go back to being unrooted? Thanks

Is the rooted kernel out? Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] :
Hey buddy, I've been spending all morning looking for help and I stumble upon your profile and your post

I'm from Canada and the release of ICS isn't release until late April. I got eager and try to find a firmware to download. I found one on CNET. Everything works well, I download the file and Odin. Only problem is that it's saying I need to " Set up software update" I have to accept that I read and choose the country. I keeps saying processing failed no matter which country I click on.

Other that annoying icon and I'm not able to send pictures to my friends. I can take a screen shot if you would like.

Hope you're able to help me out, I specifically signed up to get in touch with you.

[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
if you flash with mobile odin it'll be rooted - also if you flash the version by intratec it includes root.

i believe you can use the LP7 cf_root
[Galaxy S II General] joekiddo:
I thought the version intratech posted was the stock kernel. I'm currently flashing LP3 via odin. Will check if root has been kept or not

are you sure that intratec version is already rooted :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] Aries007:
Go to Settings, Applications, All, Scroll down to "Software Update". you will most probably find two entries, Disable the one that has same icon as the one that shows up on notification (just click on it and option will be there to disable it).

[Galaxy S II General] XSCounter:
Super quick noob question. Why would you need a separate modem pack? Cheers!
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
well im running lp2 with siyah kernel...but i AM on O2UK so, in theory the modem would give me better signal

but i dont want to have to flash a new rom/kernel/modem again...so i flash just the modem
[Galaxy S II General] XSCounter:
That's what I thought, thanks! This means that when I am using O2 UK firmware AND if I bought my Galaxy S2 in Russia, I should be better off installing a modem pack from russian firmware (SER)?
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
Don't know about that, did you flashed the LPQ kernel?
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
no, i would i install the o2 modem, as you are connecting to o2

if you were connecting to russia, then the russian modem
[Galaxy S II General] Mimov:
Another noob Question. I am using I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_XEO firmware with CF-Root 5 and just flashed with the separate kernel given above. Now CWM Manger complains about it. Is this a problem?

Also, how should I flash just the modem? (infact should I? I am using the phone in Bulgaria) :confused:

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy S II General] XSCounter:
Yeh, I am in Russia at the moment. My plan is as follows:

Will flash the latest O2 UK ROM with branding removed ("frankensteined") by Intratech.

I hear you said that I won't lose root if I use Mobile Odin, so will use that.

Finally, will install a modem pack from official Russian ROM (SER) for better connectivity.

P.S. downloading the ROM by Intratech at 20 kB/s :(
[Galaxy S II General] maxt890:
Im on Tesco Mobile UK, would I be able to flash to the Non Branded O2 UK Frankenstein firmware with Odin? Would the modem be the best choice as Tesco is on O2's network?

Any help would be great thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] vonex:
how do i root this??
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
it will still work fine, i flashed polish rom inc modem and was connected to o2 fine

only really need to flash a modem if you have issues, but chances are you wont
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Modem problems just flash another one until you get the best .

I just ripped the modem out to test on GB and will save the O2 rom for warranty use if needed .

[Galaxy S II General] elishnevsky:
Has anyone tried rooting XWLP3 with CF-Root LP7?
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
There is now no banding. But I'm not sure if they've actually fixed the underlying problem that caused it,

Does anyone know if MHL works on the newest rom? If not, which rom do I have to install to make it work? Custom rom's i also no problem.

And another thing. Does anyone know of a bluetooth mouse can fully funtion on the newest rom? So left-click = left-click, right-click = previous, scroller = scrolling and clicking the scrollwheel = settings (left bottom soft-key on the SGSII). And also here, if not, which rom do i have to install to make it work?

so i basicly need to know if this rom support those two things and if not, which rom do i need to install?
[Galaxy S II General] xZeDgEx:
Do you flash this normally with odin still? Or do you need to be rooted?

Hi All.

I flashed this ROM using ODIN mobile, using the option to root.

Any help greatly appreciated.

[Galaxy S II General] colin12345:
Try removing the battery and leaving it out for a couple of minutes. That might fix it.

The LP3 is branded O2. What does it mean? I have never branded a branded ROM and don't know what to expect. Will this show a different interface in terms of wallpaper and logos? Will this disable all non-O2 careers?? Will this have any type of limited functionality???
[Galaxy S II General] vietcn:
ok ty I will do it now :D
[Galaxy S II General] Borisdmitri:
it will not limit functionality.

It will have the O2 logo on boot, and O2 Space and O2 Wallpaper preinstalled

By the way, i think this firmware doesn't have the Samsung IM application

[Galaxy S II General] jamieridler:
lol that was Virgin Mobile not TMobile but thats cool, changing network settings isnt too hard :P
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
If u did the kernel on its own just do the full .tar as long as u can get to download mode you should be ok.

Zonyx.minus.com u can get the ics files...or the single .tar from the OP
[Galaxy S II General] vietcn:
tyytytytytyty

phew...was proper crapping myself there. D:
[Galaxy S II General] jimbobaggies:
Tried that, also tried flashing via Odin desktop and still exactly the same.

Time to restore my backup of Resurrection ICS me thinks...
[Galaxy S II General] hirak99:
DON'T PANIC

You're ok :) Just flash the whole ROM. Worse come to worse, you may need to do a factory reset, but 95% chance that won't be necessary.
[Galaxy S II General] jamieridler:
Oh and forgot to ask, I have downloaded the Frankenstein version, do I need to flash both the main file and the stock kernel or just the main file?

I'm a little confused as it said the stock kernel is used only after rooting and isn't needed for firmware updating but I'm going to be upgrading through the mobile Odin pro app and that will be rooting it (I hope)... what's the process with that? lol

I'm guessing I need to ignore the stock kernel file right?
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Main file has the kernel in it .

I would not bother with root yet just get the phone working and set up first .

[Galaxy S II General] arbitarytwist:
Boot into recovery and clear cache. Should boot right up after that.
[Galaxy S II General] jimbobaggies:
So as I am back to Resurrection ICS, if I use mobile ODIN, flash files, boot into recovery, clear cache that will be it... here goes nothing :p
[Galaxy S II General] oben56:
Can someone give me rooted kernel for the lastest version ? Thx.
[Galaxy S II General] danmullen:
The stock kernel download is only needed if you're going to flash an insecure kernel in order to root it and you want to revert to stock afterwards. Using "Everroot" in Mobile Odin Pro means you can forget about insecure kernels :)
[Galaxy S II General] GregX80:
No everything is original .... yet :-)
[Galaxy S II General] jamieridler:
Well so much for flashing with mobile Odin pro. I'm stuck in a boot loop, the Samsung Galaxy S II logo shows, then some lines of text that last only two or three seconds, then it reboots and repeats.

Good thing I have Odin on the PC and a backup of the firmware I was trying to flash, going to try doing it through the PC now instead... lol
[Galaxy S II General] vietcn:
how long does it take to flash the full ics thing? I'm not sure if my odin thing is stuck or not.
[Galaxy S II General] jimbobaggies:
Flashed again using mobile ODIN, cleared cache as suggested, as before, get O2 boot screen, followed by stuck at Samsung glowing S.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Half an hour is far to long .

I have read plenty, I have used ODIN flash before without problem, now I am using and have problem so I gracefully request help... if you can't give a helpful answer then give no answer, leave some oxygen for other people to breath.
[Galaxy S II General] jamieridler:
Well managed to brick it using mobile Odin pro but at least I had everything I needed ready and in place to fix it through Odin on the PC, only question is why didn't I just install it that way first time round lol.

On a side note, what's this Software Update thing I'm being asked to set up on first boot? Is it Samsung or Android? If its Samsung, is it safe to ignore/remove?
[Galaxy S II General] hIdd3N-:
Samsung, feel free to ignore/remove. Titanium Backup Pro App Freeze does the trick too..
