[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VAXXi:
Why don't you just change your CSC from XSG to XEU ?

Save everything you need from the phone since this will wipe your phone (not the SD card though)..

Dial using the

stock

Phone app and not other dialers from market:

*#272*your_imei#

Change to XEU if it's available to choose. Wipe, reboot and you have a changed CSC, which should allow you to update through KIES. I've read about corrupted EFS folders even with KIES though, so I'd suggest you use Odin or buy Mobile Odin, it's basically the same risk (maybe even less with Mobile Odin).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Retty1:
Thanks. This is what I was hoping to do.

But the XEU code is not available in the list - I can select Japan and Korea and a couple of others but no European or UK codes :-(

This is really odd. The phone's serial number is definitely UK (I have checked with Samsung) yet the phone is running a United Arab Emirates firmware! Crazy.

It was definitely a new phone - still had the screen sticker on, no finger marks on the screen and had never been turned on.

I guess then the only thing to do is to flash the ICS Polish rom which has XEU as a country selection.

Get the XWKI4 XEU (UK) rom and follow the Odin guide to flash it. Its 99.99999+% hassle free so dont worry about 'bricking' Then you'll receive official updates through Kies/OTA then ICS this week when it appears. Wont wipe either.

---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------

The ROM you'll need - http://skywanker.net/roms/intratech...9100_XEU_I9100XWKI4_I9100XEUKH2_I9100XXKI1.7z

Odin - http://skywanker.net/roms/intratech/Odin3 v1.85.7z

Unzip them both to a directory. Get the phone in download mode - with power off, hold vol down+home and the power on still holding them down. Then when the warning comes up, hit vol up to enter download mode. Hook up to PC and run Odin. Hit 'PDA' on the right and select the Rom file and then hit Start. Easy!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Retty1:
Thanks again guys.

Just a quick question: if I flash an official rom will it affect the flash counter of the phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave106:
Nope!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Retty1:
Thanks.

I'm pulling my hair out.

I flashed the UK KWKI4 file but I still don't have the option to seclect a UK CSC from the list. In fact there is no CSC at all present except for the UAE one.

Is there a way I can install the UK CSC now that I have flashed to the UK rom?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VAXXi:
Yes, intratech maintains an archive of CSCs and it is here. However, most links are now broken - perhaps you should try a PM or request in the topic. CSCs are just folders and files under /system/csc, by the way.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Retty1:
I think I'm going to have to send my phone back. There's something not right about it - sold by Amazon UK with a UAE country code. :confused:

I don't understand why flashing the XWKI4 XEU rom did not install the UK CSC file. I now have no CSC files in the phone. Before I had the Korea and Japan codes.

There doesn't seem to be a simple way to get the CSC file in to the phone and I'm not sure in any case which one I should use.

Samsung has not been much help. :(

Edit:

The Version CSC is reading I9100XEUKH2 but I cannot set the sales code to XEU - there is no list of sales codes to install and no way of changing the code from XSG.

When I type *#272*imei# I get no list to select from. I get just a screen with the word "Sales code" and then XSG in the box.

Can a lack of a "Sales code" in the preconfig screen be solved by re-installing the CSC file or are the CSC and sales code different things?

The CSC file seems to have installed correctly but I cannot set the sales code to XEU and so I cannot update via Kies.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VAXXi:
But why do you want it, anyway ? if it's just to get a Kies update to ICS, don't bother - get a full ROM and flash it through Odin/Mobile Odin. Having a different CSC code only gives you region-specific stuff, which is usually crap anyway.

Anyway, what you have to do is flash a CSC package which will give you the files in /system/csc. On my ZSLPE ROM:

root@android:/system/csc/KOR/system # ls -ltr /system/csc
total 60
-rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 21459 Aug 1 2008 feature.xml
drwxr-xr-x 3 0 0 4096 Mar 17 04:22 TWM
drwxr-xr-x 3 0 0 4096 Mar 17 04:22 TGY
drwxr-xr-x 3 0 0 4096 Mar 17 04:22 KOR
drwxr-xr-x 3 0 0 4096 Mar 17 04:22 CWT
drwxr-xr-x 3 0 0 4096 Mar 17 04:22 BRI
-rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 4 Mar 17 04:22 sales_code.dat
-rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 505 Mar 17 04:22 others.xml
-rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 1361 Mar 17 04:22 customer.xml
-rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 3072 Mar 17 04:22 contents.db

But not sure it will work, as they're from ICS. If you want to give it a shot, I've attached the archive; extract it and:

> adb push csc_s.tar /sdcard/
> adb remount /system
> adb shell

and then in the ADB shell:

$ su
# mv /sdcard/csc_s.tar /system
# tar xvf csc_s.tar
# rm csc_s.tar

Reboot and try the CSC change code. Usual disclaimers apply.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intratech:
After flashing the UK firmware you need to do a hard reset to "convert" the phone to UK device.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Retty1:
Thanks!

I did a hard reset and, yes, the preconfig screen was changed to XEU! There were no other selections in the list though.

Initially after the hard reset Kies still detected the phone as XSG. I needed to turn the phone off again and on before it was detected as XEU.

It's now running 2.3.4 as XEU.

What I don't understand is why Kies is now saying that the firmware is "the latest firmware" available. Also OTA update returns "no update available".

Kies reports: PDA:KI4 / PHONE: KI1 CSC:KH2 (XEU)

2.3.4 isn't the latest version available so I guess something is wrong.

I used the XWKI4 XEU (UK) rom.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VAXXi:
Use CheckFus to check the latest version reported by Samsung's servers for your software/phone combination. What you have might not be a candidate for upgrade yet.

PS: use Odin :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intratech:
No, it's right. XWKI4 is the latest available firmware for XEU devices.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Retty1:
Thanks everyone for the help.

This is a fantastic set of forums. A lot of the fixes are not commonsense and some of the guides here are invaluable.

It's amazing what can be modified and fixed by end users using Android phones.

[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
Just curious, these both use CM9 kernel, right?
[Epic 4G General] GuestK00145:
Probably CM7 kernel, but I could be wrong

Is there anyone who knows how to do a log cat that wouldn't mind doing a logcat and a radio log cat during a call and while trying to hang up? Radio log cat is adb logcat -b radio > wherever you want it to go
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
Still have the rom and I will do it later today :)

Have adb and all that good stuff so I guess I'm your tester. You'll have to explain the >(where you want it to go part). Or give me the full command / example like.... C:Users/myname/Documents....?
[Epic 4G General] Phantomg93:
Lol got to love odin in cases like that but yeah I'll do it right now I just have to flash an mtd rom to get back to MTD then flash sense 2 cause I tried last night and It put my phone is bootloops
[Epic 4G General] Phantomg93:
Yeah you were right this build is much smoother than the others. Sense FC's still but It seems only when you are doing heavy things on the launcher like swyping rapidly between homescreens, adding widgets and whatnot. Data is a no go but sms works and calls work good and they hang up. Landscape does not work but in apps it does. Some apps like calculator aren't sized correctly the #'s are huge!! Audio works smooth calls were loud and clear and I did have a few soft reboots. Here's what I have seen so far:

What Works:

Calls <-100%!!!

SMS!

Airplane Mode

Auto Brightness

Animations

Installed Apps open up without FC, Except camera

Alot smoother than previous builds..

What Doesn't work:

Data

Wi-Fi

Camera

Bluetooth

Auto Rotate on Sense Launcher

GPS(Couldn't test it, it turned on though)

Boot Ani is not sized correctly

FC Launcher still

Softboots still present

Customizing launcher causes FC's as well.

EDIT: After playing with it for about an hour I noticed what I call a "Ghost Bar". The status bar would split almost into 2 and the second one is faded behind the first. But the the second one shows wifi,data,gps,bluetooth, everything on as if it worked. I checked and nothing it showed did work:(. It disappeared though after 5 minutes and never came back. And im back to FC09 because I needed to make some appointments and needed a stable rom to do it. If you need me to try another build or tweak just let me know ill flash back lol

---------- Post added at 04:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 AM ----------

Also, now that the Alpha of Nyan Kernel 3.X is coming out, do you think this would help out for Sense or the current Nyan Colonel your're using is the one you want to keep using?
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Auto Rotate isn't present on the launcher on stock sense 4 either unless you use media link. It's in some custom roms though. Hmm I was thinking of switching back to sense 2.1 to fix calls and data completely, but if this is smoother and calls work, I can fix data and wifi here hopefully.
[Epic 4G General] Phantomg93:
it is smoother in terms of how bad it lagged in the other builds. it still lags but its not as bad. in my opinion if I may ask, I think sense 2.1 would be a good idea. That was the smoothest and had the fewest issues. And if data and calls worked on it, it would pretty much cover the main issues with it..besides the usual camera wifi etc etc...I feel like sense 4 would be more of a hassle to get done but it has surely come along way thanks to you. But that is your choice bro
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Maybe with kernel 3.0 it'll be smoother, but I can't modify that until it is a boot.img. At the moment, it's a kexec zimage, which doesn't help me. Also, I have no idea what fixed calls, so staying with 4 may help a bit since I don't know what I'd need to do on 2.1. Andy_nu is working on a framework merge for 2.1 and cm7 so he'll work on that and I'll work on this and between us, we should have at least one decent sense build sometime soon.
[Epic 4G General] Phantomg93:
That's great to hear I didn't know Andy_nu was working on 2.1. Then yeah it makes sense to continue working on sense 4
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
So calls receive ok right? Also, can you give me your gtalk?
[Epic 4G General] Phantomg93:
Yeah they do I called 3 people and they sounded clear no distortions or issues. They all hanged up as well their was a small delay when I hit the call end button but I believe that is just the lag of the rom rather than the phone app. and yeah its j93serrano@gmail.com
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Can you try hanging up on calling voicemail (dial your own number). Didn't work for me and it was early enough where I didn't want to call anyone else. Perhaps it is dependent on the other person to hang up.
[Epic 4G General] Phantomg93:
Yeah let me flash sense and let you know what happens.

EDIT: Xboxfanj did this happen to you?

1. Called voicemail

2. Voicemail Lady started talking

3. Tried to hang up after lady said to create password

4. System UI FC appeared, Phone froze for a sec,screen went black, then the phone app appeared as if I hanged up

5. After that voicemail was stuck repeating "please enter blah blah password"

I had to pull the battery for it to stop..
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Yeah it kept talking. I guess it only hangs up if the person on the other end does.
[Epic 4G General] Andy_nu:
I think thats phone.apk not having certain classses or missing methods to turn offconnectioncomplete in the ril did you happen to do a logcat and radio -b logcat as well at the start of call, recieving call, and ending call?
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Lol you always get the command wrong. Adb logcat -b radio

But yeah, phantom, please do that.

Andy, any luck on 2.1?
[Epic 4G General] Andy_nu:
yes i know! in my own mind its the right way ^.^
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Add this to build prop to get rid of fcs and reboots and lag for the most part

[Epic 4G General] flastnoles11:
The release date will be..... DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!! The day it gets released! ;)
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
We don't have it because Samsung screwed us by giving us a proprietary radio interface layer, if you don't know what that means, Google it. The nexus is able to use the HTC one with little to no modifications whereas we have to integrate samsungs
[Epic 4G General] Andy_nu:
Which is by far, a pain in the a$$. :D
[Epic 4G General] xfreshboimariox:
so is there a chance we will see a beta soon all i want to function is calling internet and messenging thats all it looks so cool
[Epic 4G General] Phantomg93:
Let the Dev's breathe lol. They are working on this very hard and like Xbox said Samsung didn't make life easy for them to port sense to our Epic's. In time their will be a beta but we just have to wait for now

@Xboxfanj sorry I couldn't do the logcat with calling I dropped my phone while grilling yesterday and the screen won't come on so Sprint is sending me another phone :(
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
SMS works 100% already. MMS most likely not, but that's an easy fix. Data may be a bit away. Me and andy are workin' on merging the framework.
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Never probably...

Just being honest.
[Epic 4G General] xfreshboimariox:

OK Thanks. I'll let you know if I have time to do it between now and then.
[Epic 4G General] xfreshboimariox:
xbox you said before calls don't recieve nor hangup but on the official website it states that both function are they wrong ?
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
That's true it says there. PhantomG93, you tested it, can you shed any light on it? Can you try calling yourself and see if it answers? Xfreshboimariox, it didn't work when I tried, but phantom said it did.
[Epic 4G General] Phantomg93:
Voicemail was weird like I said before with xbox, but I called 3 people and the first 2 I hanged up first (calls worked fine). With the third person I called them but let them hang up and it worked as well. Voicemail was the only thing that acted weird and I never got a chance to do a logcat. And i'm waiting on a replacement epic since mine broke which is why I haven't been able to help:/ Using my 3D now

I hope though your only flashing it just to test it and play with it because it is still unstable for use as a daily rom. And make sure to back up everything as TWRP is picky with what roms you can flash back to..
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
I flashed Sense, very nice, it's coming along, obviously little things and here are missing but the concept and effort that has gone into it is impressive. I was hoping to find the HTC clock there but that's the least of all worries. :p
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Yeah on the nexus also it won't load the widgets for some reason.

Also, I've found a possible RIL fix for all my roms. I need to merge some things with the nexus in the kernel so I can use their ril files then that could possibly fix almost all the issues on both sense roms and any other roms I plan on porting.

I'll be working on that in the coming days.
[Epic 4G General] xfreshboimariox:

[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
flash cm9 with inject twrp unchecked then reboot recovery to cwm then flash the Sense zip. If you were coming from BML, you need to flash cm first.
[Epic 4G General] stevie13.xo:
Just a question but did you flash the nexus modem and radio drivers from cwm?
[Epic 4G General] Andy_nu:
Probably just flash them(built from source most likely.), but with modifications in the kernel maybe as well as build.prop for sure, as well as lib files and maybe something else. flashing a different modem to your phone wont work right now. its probably best to wait for the release of the modded files.
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
The modem can't be flashed in cwm. You have to odin/heimdall that. The modem drivers are in the kernel and the RIL files are in system/lib and system/vendor/lib and system/bin so everything besides the modem may be flashed thru cwm.
[Epic 4G General] stevie13.xo:
