Any body brave enough to try this on XDA II?
For O2 UK/Ireland customers, we are making available the LAUNCH version of the Xda IIs ROM. This may RESTORE your Xda IIs to launch condition, if an incorrect ROM image is applied.
If this ROM image does not successfully restore the launch software to your Xda IIs, you will need to contact your service provider and arrange for your device to be repaired by the Xda Service Centre.
Instructions for restoration are here
The launch ROM can be downloaded from here

Whoops, that was me, didn't realise you could post when not logged in. I might have a go at this over the weekend :?
Did it work....
Sorry did not see your post was today....
Will have a bash over the weekend too
Starting the upgrade says the version of this new rom is 1.72, that was my version before upgrading to 2.06.
Enters bootloader mode (version 1.02)
Then just sits there, nothing else, nada.
Killed processes and started again, this time the upgrade is working away. It's at 30% I'll let you guys know what happens.

Right, well all it did was downgrade my device back to ROM1.72 and back to the non-se version. I'm sure this isn't a IIs ROM.

Looks like a typo to me, if you look down the left hand side of the page you will see that this is a ROM for the XDA 2 not the 2s:

As you can see from the bold and highlighted sections of the menu, you are in the XDA 2 section of the website. This must mean that the ROM has been mistakenly written up as being for the XDA 2s.

I disagree, the file downloaded is
http://64.244.24.19/xda/Xda_IIs_LaunchROM_v1.12.162_178.exe
This clearly states Xda_IIs! However, be warned it's not! haha, so it's another minor mistake by O2.
Typical.
A minor mistake which i fell for and now have a dead unit!! YEAH THANKS O2!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any1 know how the hell i can bring my unit back to life???
I basically need a XDA 2s ROM? Does anybody know where i can get one, or am I best going to o2?
Advice be appreciated, thanks, Ben.

Ah great thanks. Knew about the secret menu but not what it was used for. I am on generic. Is there a way to change it to global and is it worth doing or should I just wait forever for the generic version to pop up? Advice appreciated
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Depends how impatient you're feeling!!.. I had absolutely no intention of rooting etc.. but got fed up of the lack of info so I followed the simple upgrade method.. rooted using the one click root app on my phone.. changed the default prop values as per the thread instructions and plugged into SEUS.. bingo.. 2.1...
Rooting the 2.1 was a bit trickier though (want to go to UK Generic when it's out)..
all i get from sony when asked is *******There are still tests which need to be carried out on generic versions to ensure they meet UK laws & regulations.*******
Surely the global version is still subject to UK laws etc if its being used in the UK. What are the advantages and disadvantages of being rooted and does it affect my warranty? Thanks for all the advice really good for a nooby discovering the world of a real OS

Factory reset will only reset current firmware. You need to get the 1.6 flash tool from the development section and install the 1.6 firmware back onto device. REMEMBER use 1.6flash tool not 2.1 flash tool.

I'm having the same problem and I'm with Orange. You do have to get your phone unlocked unless you intend to get new Provider Firmware. Also I'm a noob so I'm a little uneasy about trying to unlock the Ace myself, I'd rather take it into the shop. Plus I'm told it has to be physically unlocked by USB. Paying for codes online does not work and in my case even the so called Temporary Unlocks do not work.
Have you figured out the letter codes? Maybe you could help me find an alternative Orange firmware? I'm running Gingerbread BVKQA.
Hope this helps

Funny thing, I have the exact same Ace from Orange. I rooted it, first went from 2.2 to 2.3.4 and now I updated it to 2.3.5. Looking for a custom rom to flash it with but I've never gotten that far with customization so I'm not too sure. Thinking of replacing the boot animation to the nexus one's. Looks pretty epic ;D

I think so... but I am just going by what other threads and other forums have said. I'm not sure it will brick it, but it won't be up to snuff that's for sure. I haven't been on XDA long but I've had some invaluable help from EmoBoiix3 along the way. It's a name worth searching. He wrote the Newbie Guide at the start of the Galaxy Ace forum. Seems to know his onions!

Same.
After umming and erring about it I finally snapped up the courage to root via Superoneclick. Downloaded Kies. Hooked up. And like yourself I went to 2.3.4 which is where I seem to be in a bit of a rut.
My phone is still network locked - haven't the balls to try unlocking myself - but that is my next priority in the next couple of days via the High Street Unlock Shops. Until then I cannot try out any fancy ROMs.
Also, dunno what the hell I've done to the phone but the infamous upd_1.zip no longer appears to work for rooting now!!!!
I'm curious, how did you get to 2.3.5? And is your phone unlocked?

I'm pretty sure it's unlocked now since the Orange animation thing is gone from the boot screen. I got 2.3.5 by updating through Odin from androidadvices.com. I'm not sure if that unlocks it though but I believe it is. It says you can't update with the phone locked to the carrier and I did it anyway and worked when I went from 2.2 to 2.3.4. Not sure if I just got lucky or something. You should give it a try.

SuperAce609 - Not sure how you managed it but well done. I'm thinking my next step should be to get new firmware. European KPH I think. Apparently it is compatible with most ROMs available to the Ace. Been advised to steer clear of Cyanogen though (pity!) as it isn't official or stable enough for Ace.

Yeah! And I was so exited to try it out too! I'm thinking of changing it to the Honeycomb theme but I'm not too sure. And since there isn't a version compatible with the 2.3.5 I have on, I can't do it . Besides, since I switch themes a lot, knowing my self, I'd probably be switching from rom to rom and that sounds like too much work xD

Evening chaps,
Got my Galaxy S3 from Phones4u last week so the phone was unbranded. Now the question I have is what benefits would I get if I flashed the O2 branded firmware on it instead?
Normally I would just wipe it and put a custom ROM on and never touch branded firmware, but with the S3 the software seems to be spot on.
What's everybody's view on this?
IMO there are no benefit to a Branded Fw just more bloat to slow the phone down

They dont mess with radio >> Modems can be flashed individually on stock rom from the modem thread .

(Nearly) all radios are linked in a thread in the General section of the forum.
You can always backup your radio before going to full-stock and flash your radio anew. Radio is a different Processor/SoC than the phone itself so the Radio firmware can be completely different to your phone's.
Altough you should get a backup of the network's FastDormancy settings to make sure they are properly configured in the final version.

My gf likes the firmware original, because she wants to tinker around and flash it all by herself
But you seem to imply that flashing a non-original firmware always includes Root, which is certainly not true for the Samsung-original firmwares without carrier-branding.
Hi All,
I have just picked up my Galaxy S2 which WAS locked to 3 UK.
However I followed this handy video from GIFGAF
Once I have install the insecure Kernal = GT-I9100_XWLA4_insecure - THANK YOU
Then Rooted the device - THANK YOU lyriquidperfection
I tried my SIM but the phone was still locked. I then downloaded an app called Galaxy S Unlock and it unlcoked my phone.
Should my phone have unlocked after I rooted the insecure kernal or was I ment to do it as above?
My phone was original on 3 uk and is heavely branded with a splash screen on boot up and apps thats cant be removed. Does anyone know how I can remove this branding?

Sorry, just got out of the hospital..
I'm personally on Rootbox jellybean. It's carrier free and light (sounds like you like it light)
But with that being said, you can debloat (get rid of the carrier apps) with titanium backup. You can delete or even freeze apps (freezing is making the app not show in the app drawr and make it inactive). You just need to root the firmware you're on.
And I personally chose a set of two anker 1900mah batteries with an external wall charger. It doesn't require a bigger back and it basically triples the battery life

Is Titanium Back the same sort of software as CWM which I have installed on my SD card?

Can You charge the battery in the phone or do you have to charge it on the dock which means take it out of the phone each time?

AFAIK "Jailbreaking" is a term for iOS. For WP, we need to install "HSPL" in order to install any custom ROMs. By default it comes with "SPL". So what i meant was, i installed "HSPL" & then custom ROM... and now back to "SPL" (factory settings). Hope this explains a bit.

If you have to send your Titan I back for repair you have to return it to it's "factory-state" or else you might as well shoot your own toes off for all the good it will do I'm living proof you can kiss HSPL goodbye; the fun starts when you try to put it back on the 2nd time!

Excuse my noobness but isn't installing custom ROM = jail breaking?

Yes and no; you must HSPL to install a custom rom; think of SPL and stock as a Catholic marriage; it's the annulment that counts.
