ES Vodafone

Just downloaded the Spanish Vodaphone ICS.

Pretty good.

Details are as follows:

Version: 4.0.3

Baseband: I9100BULP6 (but it said LP7 while I was upgrading)

Kernel: 3.0.15

Observations: Upgraded via KIES.

Nothing was erased. Even my lock screen remained the same.

Much faster than Gingerbread so far (Though my background seems to be in lower resolution. I mean I JUST upgraded right now. So I've been looking at my normal background for like 5 months. I noticed the difference.)

Came with a lot of vodafone crap and a little Samsung crap. Including something called "Software update" that I refuse to give permission to do anything but it keeps staying in the upper right hand corner of my screen.

All the google apps were updated and are awesome now.

No more sliding on the contacts screen... which is fine by me because now I don't have to look for my groups anymore.

So far so good... Now, of course, it's time to root it and reboot it!

Odin won't flash the new Vodafone Ireland rom for me it just says the perimeter is incorrect.

Do I need a pit, phone or csc file as well?
[Galaxy S II General] joaobarroso:
Hi

Just open the ODIN and select only PDA. Don't use PIT never. Using PIT is the main reason why phone brick.

Buy Mobile Odin PRO, the money is well spend, and you inject the root at the same time.
[Galaxy S II General] TeamRainless:
What the hell is "Software Update"?

And why does it keep bothering me?

There's not even an option to refuse it!

There's only "accept" and "later"
[Galaxy S II General] Barely Running:
Use the search function and search for "Software Update". You'll find the solution and all will be good.

i have d/l uk vodafone ics, i have to say it's a lot better than i expected. very smooth, battery great so far.
[Galaxy S II General] xZeDgEx:
Ics has ota updates now. Its to check for new updates. Just accecpt it and it will go away. If not disable it in applications.
[Galaxy S II General] Vuuyi:
Hello everyone,

I've flashed the Dutch version onto my phone this night, but I have a problem now. I did exactly as said in the first post, but my phone stays on a black screen with the battery on it(the one that is supposed to fill up green). Instead of getting green, there is a circle in it (as if it's loading something). It stays on this screen for a few seconds, then gets all black and it comes back again.

Anyone that knows what I did do wrong, and more importantly: How to get my phone working again?

Thanks in advance,

Vuuyi

ps. The phone was under 50% battery when flashing, could this be the problem?
[Galaxy S II General] fidorulz:
Can anyone you the BULP6 modem so I can test it separately? CWM flashable of possible
[Galaxy S II General] redtailhawk:
Hi I'm going to manually update to LPQ ics and then root phone using rackman 3 method . what i want to know is if I then change rom to D4 Rom (cm9 based Rom )will i be have to down grade from LPQ to XXLPB version as in" instructions on how to change to cm9 Rom"

Have spent last week just reading threads on root/ flashing roms and problems that come up as this is new to me .

thanks Darren

[Galaxy S II General] rizdroid:
Hey clever guys, make those users who just have landed in here feel at ease. You wouldn't read +4,500 posts, would you? ;) And you must agree with me: thread search isn't a "terrific tool" at all, is it? ;)

1) It's obvious all "new" firmware are on FUS before they are officially released. Seems Sammy changed "the method" that allows to check/download those firmware that are available for testing (carriers, regional branches);

2) Any user can

download stock firmware directly from Sammy server

using Check Fus Downloader. Actually, I'm kind of tired of saying this, but I think we *do* have to keep saying it until users understand

they don't have to rely on file servers, torrents and "the like"

;

3) Everyone is able to browse a firmware file before flashing! Just download it and unpack/mount "img" files using tools like the fguy's one/DiskInternals for Windows or ext4_utils (AOSP) for Linux;

4) Even though there are users who think it's not possible to deal with kernels in Windows, it's worthwhile to say stock kernels are not an issue for Windows users. Those users can use Cygwin to extract and repack kernels. All they have to learn is how to use TAR (e.g.: tar cvf StockKernel.tar zImage).

In other words, I'm really tired of so called "experts" who don't tell new users how to do simple things... I'm tired of those people who have their ego fed (thanks meter?) by users' dependency.

DON'T GIVE USERS A STOCK FIRMWARE FILE,

TELL THEM HOW TO DOWNLOAD IT DIRECTLY FROM FUS...

...AND HOW TO PLAY WITH IT!
​

That's all folks!

and where can i find XXKI1 modem as i flashed to XXKL1 and odin wont update with out my original modem /baseband

currently on 2.3.6 test XXKL1
[Galaxy S II General] Red_Vex:
You may use custom launchers like Apex.

And you must use it while it is free because when i made a translation to italian there is strings like "buy apex pro"

[Galaxy S II General] donkey_uk:
Thank you for the quick reply. could i put O2 on the phone ? is the one from page one ok and is that the newest one ? or would you recomnend to wait for T-Mobile to release the update ?
[Galaxy S II General] TeamRainless:
Ok. Did a search. Tried changing the language and I've tried "MoreLocales 2". And I even installed Go SMS Pro... but nothing will change my phone number format.

I'm in Spain and it used to be xxx xxx xxx but since installing ICS it's xxx xx xx xx

I've done what's above and then nothing else from the search seemed relevant.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II General] pelpa87:
flash any unbranded that you like.... is better than flashing any branded from your country....

the branded ones are modified for that brands. so may be it has less stuff, or works diferentt somes things

I have good experience of latest foxhound roms "otaconV1 and Psycho Mantis" for GTi-9100. At least these are great roms if you want to try ?

Its you, Wifi Tethering works like a charm and costs you less battery as on GB, But is not longer shown in Data counter widget ;) just an additional information ..
[Galaxy S II General] pelpa87:
it doesn't matters at all...the only thing that changes is the build, but in general, are all more or less the same. you rather prefer a newer build though, than an older one..

all roms have english lenguage
[Galaxy S II General] Dani01c:
Well, I was conected to wifi and tried to use that connection to tether via usb and it had no connection yet it worked on the phone. Then I tried on mobile data, it worked fine on the phone but when I used usb tether in the computer said there was no connection on the browser yet the computer didn't give any error or anything at all.

Yes and yes - with step 3 involving the "System" selection in Mobile Odin. Also select the "EverRoot" options in Mobile Odin to preserve root.

Although..................it just shows 0c on the lock screen, when the weather widget shows 15c. A bug found already :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] Donaghy:
Awesome, thanks! So no issues with clashing versions or anything. That's what I noticed last week, when I tried to CF-Root this Gingerbread version: I kept searching for the right Kernel's and whatnot.

I forgot to add to my last post that I haven't carrier-unlocked my phone (or does rooting do that to a phone?). Don't know if that makes a difference..?

Can someone please tell about it, I am going to flash this through recovery, so want to know it before.

so just boot back into Download mode.

open odin and flash the mdf file

Thanks - I'd already found that post! Was just wondering when/if I'd need those 'stock' modem/kernel files that have been added to the OP?
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
Did you wiped the phone before flashing?
[Galaxy S II General] Powereh:
I wouldn't be jealous :p

You'll get a much nicer ICS experience than the Samsung stock :p
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
nope if you flash just the md5 file as PDA it includes all the files that are needed
[Galaxy S II General] beston94:
Which one do I flash? XEO or TTT?
[Galaxy S II General] JacquesR:
No issues with clashing versions, no - the ROM download includes the new kernel, which Mobile Odin will root while flashing. Seeing as you're already on a rooted kernel, I suspect that if there were going to be any carrier-lock problems, you'd have experienced them already. But to my knowledge, not many (if any) carriers still lock phones - they might brand them, but that makes no difference to what you can or can't flash.
[Galaxy S II General] danb79:
If it ever happens! feels like google have droped us hoping we will get prime's

Question is the Gmail app no resizable in ICS on the G2? Instead of the full screen, the widget takes up only 3 icons and leaves a gap around the edges, is there any way to change this so the widget is taking up the entire screen?
[Galaxy S II General] someonet1k:
At least in TouchWiz it's not resizable, sadly.
[Galaxy S II General] kmaximax:
Rocketdial app had the function of changing the 'phone number pattern' and also define you're own patterns :)
[Galaxy S II General] Nyssa1104:
Or just use the Dutch version XEN build ;)
[Galaxy S II General] simonprr:
Sorry if this has already been explained but I can't find the answer anywhere (I have searched)...

Where can I find the change lists to see what has changed between builds?

Also does it matter if I use a build from another country other than mine? If not, then why does the region matter? Or is it just for info?

Thanks in advance :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] adamski123:
There is no change log.

And yeh u can use other countries builds if u wish, but their there because the majority of the s2 community won't be custom rom'ing and rooting, so they need to know the difference between the builds.
[Galaxy S II General] simonprr:
Thanks for the quick reply... ah i see. But does it really mean that there has been 8429 changes between I9100XWLP7 and I9100BULPC ?
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
No they are list numbers .

[Galaxy S II General] fro5tie:
couple of questions:

Is there any screenshot shortcut in these ICS builds? I'm on the russian one but cant seem to find any options, and the old power+home button doesnt seem to work

also - can I upgrade from the russian one to a newer one without having to wipe?

thanks

[Galaxy S II General] damca:
In ICS you can take screenshot by tape a power+vol. down.
[Galaxy S II General] Crustyloaf:

If you change to a different official ICS rom then it won't wipe.

[Galaxy S II General] nikhilppatel:
Hehe. I know I was being stupid but tried it anyway!

I am in north america. I am using a Samsung Galaxy S2 i777 (AT&T). This update is not here yet, I guess. Yet I flashed it for the experience!

And by mistake I flashed the one without root. Now it doesn't detect my device in the laptop, Kies, or doesn't even go into recovery (forget CWM!!).

Anyway, can anyone tell me, how long will I have to wait to get back to rooting my phone, or atleast get CWM working?!

I appreciate your replies. \m/
[Galaxy S II General] Karpfenhai:
Shouldn't you be able to enter the download mode and use Odin to flash an rooted kernel?
[Galaxy S II General] nikhilppatel:
I am not able to get into download mode. Otherwise there would be no problem in the first place. Is there a way around this? Once I get into download mode, I can do anything I want with this phone. Please advise.
[Galaxy S II General] Karpfenhai:
Oh oh,, i guess this is due to the nonfunctional Homebutton b/c you did flash a rom not made for your device?

Well you can use Adb on stock firmware, just check USB debugging ...then "adb reboot download" ADB Download --> http://www.multiupload.nl/WYEMM61LY2

Should work without root..

Good luck!
[Galaxy S II General] nikhilppatel:
Hey sorry, but the link does not work :-\

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------

Hey sorry but the link you gave doesn't work. And I am not a developer. I am just another user who wanted to taste the ICS.

Can you give me a step-by-step review of what should I do now to atleast go back to stock (I am using a SGS2 i777 AT&T).
[Galaxy S II General] Karpfenhai:
I'm Sorry, the link was quite outdated, use this one:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

After you install the SDK, the adb utility is in the tools directory of the SDK.

Note, you don't have to install the other stuff. If you just want use the adb utility, you can just install the base SDK and start using adb.

I afraid this is the only way (besides USB Jig) to bring you back in the game ;)

Good Luck!
[Galaxy S II General] nikhilppatel:
Alright I am glad you are helping me.

I have downloaded the avd.exe and sdk.exe files package and am trying to run the adb.exe. But it closes after flashing for 3 seconds.

As I mentioned earlier, I am a complete noob at this, not a developer.

It would be great if there was a step-by-step guide or something.

My problem is that after flashing the stock-version of this ICS in my SGS2 AT&T-i777(Im in North America btw), I am not able to get root. I am not able to get into Recovery or Download modes. When I try, the phone just reboots.

If I could get into anyone of these modes by any chance, I would reset the phone by factory-reset. I also have my last CM7 backed up on the sd-card.

Long story short, I need to reset my phone. Can you tell me how?

I couldn't thank enough to all, who will ultimately help this noob become a developer someday.

Thank you!!!
[Galaxy S II General] Karpfenhai:
See my PM, its really not that hard ;)

Just check USB Debugging, and issue the command from a dos box in the /sdk/tools folder, user the command "adb reboot download" instead of install, cmon u will make it for sure, cross my fingers for you!

--> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4axv2jXBR-M

Do not doubleclick just the exe, open a command prompt, navigate to the folder (hint open command prompt here from explorer context menu will help)

and then issue the command.

Once again, good luck!
[Galaxy S II General] Karpfenhai:
Any luck yet?

If so, please be so kind and hit at least the thanks button ;)

Much appreciated!
[Galaxy S II General] nikhilppatel:
ok finally its done. if someone needs to know, please ask me. i have the solution to my problem now :D

Thanks Karpfenhai !!!

You're welcome, glad to help, hopefully others facing the same issue will find this solution too, Have fun with your Phone! ;)
