Thanks...Does it need stock firmware already installed and will it tell me if i have the wrong firmware installed for my UK phone...which was supplied unlocked by cpw on o2 contract?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
TriangleAway app needs a rooted phone.

USB Jig needs old GB Bootloader.

But if counter is zero and you flash stock ROM/kernel, it will not be incremented.

Check Fus Downloader is a Windows application.

You select the OS (Android), then your phone model (GT-I9100), then your region (country + carrier), then checks latest officially released firmware for your selection.

It connects to Samsung servers, so everything is stock/official and will be recognized by Kies ... if your selection (OS, phone, region) was correct.

You can donwload the firmware, extract the zip and flash the tar in PDA section of Odin to your phone.
[Galaxy S II General] mchu6am4:
Thanks for a very helpful and detailed response...i assume i only need to select pda and choose the md5 file to flash using odin?

[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Faryaab has changed the description in the OP for the leaked XXLQ5 ROM, as it came with 3 part tar files.

I think he just forgot to re-change this description after removing XXLQ5 from the OP.

If you have only 1 part tar file, just put it into PDA section of Odin.

Or use Mobile Odin app, and use "Open file..". It will recognize all contained firmware parts and set them to the correspondoing sections automatically.

Ok, there is no .pit file.

I don't understand what you mean with "no wipe tar file". Can I wipe after I flashed from LQ5 to LPM? You know, because of the bug where if you wiped you bricked.

Also, is it no-wipe coming from the leaked LQ5?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] Brotuck:
Well i guess it is safer to hold off the CWM part until we get confirmation that it works fine.

Better be safe than sorry !

Flashing temporary CWM and installing SU works fine.

But i have not got the guts to wipe from CWM myself.. :)
[Galaxy S II General] drelite08:
Its a single tar file. And it doesn't wipe your device. I haven't wiped so can't say if its safe or not but then I never wipe after a flash.

One important question is what does 4.04 bring to the table that 4.03 didn't have? According to wiki on Android versions, 4.04 had:

Stability improvements

Better camera performance

Smoother screen rotation

Improved phone number recognition

However, I assume that's for the Galaxy Nexus (I have that phone, too, and the camera is a gem! :rolleyes:).

The GS2 with 4.03 is already pretty stable, has a great camera, so dunno what could have improved... :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] ant987:
Why don't they improve the browser????? This thing is getting me crazy! I mean, am I the only that notices micro stutters when pinch to zoom?? I loved my S2 with GB because has the best browser experience, it was as smooth as the S3, and now is crappy!

Why don't you use Chrome?
[Galaxy S II General] Dark Emotion:
The smoothest pinch to zoom is with mozilla (my opinion)
[Galaxy S II General] ant987:
Because with chrome is the same! There's a little improvement, but still very far from how it was on GB!

If they give us an update that is so important like ICS, I expect improvements!! Actually with ICS I get Battery Drain, phone gets hot as hell and browser is worse than how it was in GB! This is what you call "improvements"?

Having looked over this version of ICS, I have to say I'm very impressed, gmail looks a hundred times better than it did previously, the YouTube app also looks smarter and more professional, Swype has been updated as well as the stock Samsung keyboard. The screenshot is now power and volume down, also it can capture snapshots from YouTube videos. The camera is alot faster in its response and on video you can zoom but not at 1920 res for some reason. Sadly the filters are not there like on the nexus and its same old for the gallery. The task manager is a joy to use. Face unlock is there too and it works nearly all of the time.

[Galaxy S II General] rikken:
Battery performance is poorer than it was on GB, at least on my phone :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] Chef_Tony:
you cannot really tell the battery performance from a few hours of testing, after flashing it takes several charge/uncharge circles to calibrate. and of course the first day takes up more battery than normal use, as you constantly use it to set everything up. correct battery usage can only be determined after several days.

also, for me, just today, the performance has been great.

i was on xila3 before and the phone got really hot over extensive use and the battery lasted barely a 5 hours display time, this rom is way better than that, as i can tell, exactly through the extensive use it has gone through in the past 12 hours.

everyone having trouble with lags should consider a full wipe, did wonders for me.

there are some minor bugs i found so far:

in german, some menu items in the settings are too long for the lines and the last bits are cut under the checkboxes, so i don't really know, what i am setting up there.

also, some options were removed: i always liked the touch buttons to only light up in the dark, that option is gone, as well as the option to enable/disable certain animations and window transitions, but the rest works perfectly for me.

* flashing went absolutely smooth coming from LPD

* no-wipe version, you will keep your data

* device options symbols changed (menu which appears if power button is pushed a second)

* contacts alphabet scroll bar theme changed to a somewhat stock ics-ish theme

* bloatware including games, russian market apps and multiple hubs can be removed over the application menu

* internal browser appearance changed (menu, tabs and bookmarks buttons swapped

* camera quality or app hasn't changed

* annoying micro stutter on scrolling (larger) lists

* serial number has changed to 0000000000

* volume-down + power button no longer take screenshots

so far
[Galaxy S II General] leolysenko:
ATTENTION!!!

THE NEW XWLPM CAN BRICK YOUR PHONE!!!

The kernel from the new XWLPM russian firmware has the same problem as the leaked XXLQ5 one. In the russian forum we have 2 bricks already. So, please,

AVOID WIPING AND UPDATING BACKUPS IN CWM WITH THIS KERNEL!!! TO AVOID ANY RISK I WOULD RECOMEND NOT USING FAKE CWM AT ALL

Better wait for a fixed CF Root kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] :
I know it is a chip problem (stupid Samsung :rolleyes:)!

They could have fixed it already
[Galaxy S II General] leolysenko:
It is not Samsung who is stupid, my friend. If you use the stock firmware you ll never get a problem. Once you use CWM the problems appear. So it is a problem of CWM creator. And a problem of those who use CWM with new kernels without prior tests!
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
Doesn't the problem show on XWLQ5 using the stock kernel also? I think so, and therefore it's very pertinent to question whether the stock XWLPM might have the same issue.

The stock recovery allows doing a wipe, it's not only CWM that has that option.
[Galaxy S II General] Airbag888:
I don't agree with you there.

1. GS2 did not have this problem in GB firmwares

2. ICS official firmwares introduced this vulnerability in our phones

3. Under certain circumstances wiping the data partition can cause a hard brick.

That's a big risk I'm not willing to take and as such I'm holding off any updates to my phone until Samsung issues a firmware meant to fix this problem.

Samsung has btw acknowledged their mistake.
[Galaxy S II General] joaobarroso:
This problem is only 4.0.4 or in 4.0.3 too?
[Galaxy S II General] Airbag888:
It's in both. Look for eMMC bug check by Chainfire. He has an app that can tell you if you're vulnerable.

There's also an app on the play store that does the same thing.
[Galaxy S II General] leolysenko:
Guys, i repeat: you will never get a brick if you use original firmware from samsung (stock). You can use the standart 3e recovery for wiping and you will get no brick. I have done this on my phone with XXLQ5 and my chip is not safe.

Only if you use CWM you can brick the phone.
[Galaxy S II General] Phil3759:
Maybe they changed the stock recovery to not call the bricked wipe function...

But also, it is not a 100% occurrence event: some people are affected, others no, you get randomly locked

On early ICS leaks and also for galaxy Note users, also stock recovery was affected
[Galaxy S II General] leolysenko:
The XWLPM kernel has the same problem as XXLQ5. Samsung changed nothing because they dont see a problem. The stock is safe.
[Galaxy S II General] Fox05:
