[Q] Urgent Help For My Galaxy S i9100 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I Have Bought A Box Packed Galaxy S 2.
And I Have Rooted It Also.
After *#1234# On It:
PDA: I9100XWKE7
Phone: I9100XXKDJ
CSC: Unknown .
Now My Phone Is Not Recognised In My PC And Also I Am Irritated Of The Yellow Traingle On Boot Screen.
Please Help Me Out As I want to transfer games and music on my phone...

please some one reply....

Don't know why your PC won't recognize the device, the triangle means that you'r running a non samsung signed kernel! Flash back your stock kernel (look in dev section how), then the triangle will be gone (you won't loose root)!

but where can i find the stock kernel and what about the recognition on pc why its not recognised...??

as I said, search for the stock kernel in the development section there is a post with all the kernels, should not be too hard to find
regarding the connection issue:
reboot your pc, reboot your device, check the usb connection type in the gs2 taskbar (you have to activate usb mass storage each time you want it), if all fails: go into win device manager and reinstall the driver(s)!

ke7 works well here, so I think it should be ok for you too!

loool......I quit studying since i left school, but i never quit playing games

so tell me na...
good source for HD games for my device...

The app store..
Or google is your friend. Support the devs either way
Csc is to do with regions... Maybe the way you rooted made you install a csc which isnt relevant to your region. There is a thread in the dev section that explains it all. Use the search bar

Hi all,
It's my 1st post in XDA-developers & I would really appreciate your help. I have the following Samsung Galaxy SII:
PDA: I9100JPKG3
Phone: I9100XXKG1
CSC: Unknown
Kernel version:
2.6.35.7-I9100JPKG3-CL388633
[email protected] #2​
I have fully read the thread originally put by Intratech in the developers section but I couldn't post there since I'm still a new member! Can you please help me answering these Q's:
1. I couldn't find the firmware JPKG3 neither on the official firmwares section nor on the Frankenstein one! Does this mean, I'm running an unofficial firmware?
2. The CSC is unknown, I read a post also by Intratech providing the CSC file: "csc_xsg_i9100ojpkg1" & using Odin to flash my SGSII. I obtained the file, so is it possible to flash it to my device? And if I flash it, will I solve such an issue? Do I need to backup my data? Will the data be wiped out?
3. The kernel version of my device is weird? Is it a rooted device although I bought it from an original reseller of Samsung in my country?
4. In the thread of Intratech, I found a newer version JPKG5 for XSG (UAE). Is it possible to flash it to my device, will it solve the CSC & Kernel issues, while updating the firmware as well?
5. Finally, based on the steps posted by Intratech, will the firmware update wipe out my device data? Can you please confirm?
Thank you so much & waiting for your help.

Any help pleasssssssssssssssssse?

[Q] Tried to flash XWKDD_insecure and my phone won't work!

Hi All
I wanted to root my phone and flashed XWKDD_insecure to my phone using Odin. After that my phone restarted and now all I see is the Samsung Galaxy S II startup screen with a yellow triangle with a exclamation mark at the bottom.
My phone won't start now
My phone came with the following firmware:
PDA: I9100GJPKH8
CSC: I9100GOJPKG7
Can anyone please help me in restoring my phone?
I'll be really, really grateful.
Thanks,
juzer
I'm not sure of this but I9100G is different from I9100 so XWKDD won't work on i9100g
If i am right you must download a proper firmware for your phone and reflash through odin
Hi Red_Vex
I'm not able to find a proper firmware for my device.
More importantly, how do i get my phone to work...
It has stopped working

You must registrer on samMobile.com and search for Firmwares -> Smartphone ->Android-> GT I9100G-> Middle East and download a firmware for your nations.
Then go in download mode and flash it through odin
Thanks for your help, Red_Vex
Actually I was able to find an insecure kernel for i9100G on XDA and that has saved my life!!
Thanks once again!

Bricked S2? :(

Hello, so i was trying to root my Galaxy II with Odin with the help off a step-by-step guide. Though . . . i looked at the wrong guide, it was for the model "XXXKI3" but i have "XWKI8"
So now when i power up my phone, its stuck on "Samsung Galaxy II GT-I9100 logo with a trianglesign
What to do? I still can go into "Download Mode" though.
Ive tried to remove the battery for about 30 minutes, to try and go into Recovery Mode, did not work :/
I really hope my phone isnt bricked, im so worried!
I will donate 15/Euros/Dollars to the person that helps me out as a huge THANKS!

[Q] Need the XWKI8 firmware and Stock Kernel for Telia Denmark

Hello all, and sorry for my newb-ness!
I was looking around for making my SGS2 "legal" again, flashing it with entirely "old" firmware, but the firmwares i found here, are not fitting the original description i have.
my phone ran (XWKI8 before rooting and flashing new firmware to it)
but the problem is;
[ROMS]Official i9100 carrier branded firmware download for Odin Flash
The only fitting my phone and operator is from the SP (3), where mine is Telia...
I even tried getting the ones from 3, but as the download links doesnt work, im pretty lost, can someone help me?
XWKI8: http://www.multiupload.com/H975DHZQLE
Firmware info: PDA:XWKI8| PHONE:NEKI2| CSC:HTDKI1
XWKI8 Stock Kernel:http://www.multiupload.com/4O6DVGUGSU
Password: [email protected]
can i just flash either one from "telia" and then update normally via kies, or whats the best solution?
i want the SGS2 so legal that i could turn it in to my provider for service!
or any firmware for Telia
or can anyone link to me to any firmware hardcoded with telia's info?
none of the ones linked in this forum, or others are valid... downloads just doesnt work, HELP
Telia

Are you based in Denmark? If so, then this would be the latest Telia fm from that thread. KK5 is newer than KI8.
Yeah... but the download link doesnt work!
and thats my problem, because i CANT find it anywhere
thanks for the reply though, but if you find a working download link for the KK5 it would be much appreciated!

Does it matter which kernel i have on the phone also?
im really a noob at this, but right now i have the NEKF2 kernel!

You'd need the stock kernel relating to the rom, I've had no need to service so not sure, if anyone else who has had previous experience on this could help.
thought as much... and all the download links relating to the XWKK5 are busted
think im am going to try this one, until i find a legal one
http://download.chainfire.eu/54/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OXA_KK5-v5.0-CWM5.zip
Try Checkfus. There's a thread on here, search for it.
what should i do with that?
i dont need to check if there is an update, i just want either an older version kernel/firmware from Telia Denmark
which is working, so that i can update the old fashioned way!
or what was you intention with checkfus?
You can download the KI8 firmware with Checkfus. Try it & see

Nope. You can download them. I tried it late last week & downloaded VAUKJ1 for ****s N giggles. The download/decryption of the firmware works perfectly.

what to do if a Odin firmware upgrade hangs?
it hasnt been moving for a few minutes now, still stuck at the <ID:0/005> data.img part
just wait it out, or any other ideas?
can i abort it, and start over with one i know works?
Sadly... checkfus was of no help
but i got my phone running on the XWKK5 firmware, and it works ok!
but still not the best solution, i simply need the KI8 for Telia

Can you give me an example of how to fill out the info in CheckFus?
because its says error every time...
i've tried an exact copy of this:
Firmware info: PDA: XWKK5| Phone: XXKI4| CSC: OXXKJ3
help
In my case, in the standard tab I chose Android/GT-I9100T/Australia (Vodafone), then I clicked on check firmware. Checkfus told me KJ1 was the latest available, I clicked download, waited for it to download the firmware and at the end of the process it automatically decrypted it.
Which gave me a zip containing a tarball (just like the firmware in Intratech's thread) I can flash in Odin if I ever need to go back to stock.
See... I didnt notice if my phone is a regular GTi9100 or a -T, -N or whatever the options are, how do i find such info, because i was so smart not to make a backup of my current settings :-(

So... now i came this far:
my phone is:
Baseband :I9100XXKI4
Kernel : I9100XWKK5

but i have trouble appending the predictive and T9 dictionary... are there any addons i can get for these, because i really want to be able to use dictionary in my language (Danish + German and English)
please help

Found the solution (or rather the Firmware)

[Q] Newbie --India --Three Network mobile -- Basic Questions

Hi All,
I bought a used galaxy S2 I9100 yesterday,new to android.I have been a iphone user for 4 years and pretty aware of jailbreaking, unlocking installing custom firmwares. the terminology here in Android world is different though.
Have searched and read through different guides on the forum but still got some questions.
Model GT i900 LKAH3G
PDA i9100XWKE1
CSC I9100H3GKD4
Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 [email protected] # 2
Build Number GINGERBREAD.XWKE1
Looks like it was on Three network but it is unlocked mobile as i can use my airtel sim on the phone.
I dont want the Three network related stuff on the phone so i need to debrand the phone -- how to do it? there is guide on XDA forum but it talks primarily for O2 phones or might be i did not read it correctly. (there are also some options like the network mode which are disabled on this ROM )
Once debranding is done should i be ok to use any ROM or kernel?
Which would be best ROM to be installed and will it work for me in India.
Can i install the custom ROM and would i be able to install apps from the android Market.
If these have already been answered , can you please provide the link for that thread.
Thank You
I'd advice you to try the new ics roms, you can find the instructions inside the various rom threads, flashing these roms will get rid of the three junk as well as update your phone to the latest android os a.k.a ICS ..........
there is no such thing as a best rom for a specific country, but you can try different modems to find the one that gives you the best network and battery, you can find your modem under the baseband in about phone....
google for more info
happy flashing and welcome to Android we luf you here...........
Learn how to use Odin
Download stock gb from from checkfus or sammobile.
Flash using Odin, you will be unbranded.
After that root using cfroot, now learn how to use cfroot.
Now you can flash custom roms.

Hi KJplasma &atifsh
Thank you for the details.
can i install the below listed indian stock firmware using odin
PDA :I9100XWKE8 CSC:I9100ODDKE2
or do i need to install the firmware from UK
PDA :I9100XXKF2 CSC:MULTIOXAKF2
do i need to change the csc if i install the UK version?
Thanks
forget about csc.
if you have i9100 you can flash any region ROM and use in any country.
if you want Gb than go for la2 italy rom , iv used that and last time i check that was the fastest stock rom for GB
you can also flash ICS rom like uk lp7 too, just stay away from lp9 roms at the moment.
ad dont forget to wipe using the dialpad code *2767*3855#. [will wipe all data stored]

Thank you Zac and Atif.
I have tried to do a factory rest from the phone's privacy menu but even after everything is done,istill see some files in the gallery.
i tried the code *2767*3855# everything goes fine but i see the message "cant access to system\csc\h3g\system\" and then the phone strats as normal.
can i flash it to the OS even if i am getting this message using odin or do i need to
do something before i flash?
factory reset will not delete your user stored data on the SD card...that can be manually deleted...if you want
you can flash the OS from ODIN
thanks for the responses.
I have upgraded to I9100XWLP7_I9100XEULP, and its working fine. the only problem seems to be its heating a bit where the camera is located . will read more topics and see why this is happening.
thank You.

Yes though the newer dxlp9 was much better, previous one had bunch of issues including sleep of death.
Also that ROM introduces the contact/dialer lag bug. Which some how got to Google account and now every time I sync contacts it get back.
I deleted all my contacts and synced again and it's all better, tried on dxlp9 and was working fine, than I switched to my regular cm9.

For a start, if you remember your last ROM that doesn't had heat issues, flash that modem. Doesn't matter if you use GB modem on ics.
I flashed the modem of my region xxki4 which is 2.3.5 jpkj2 and had no issues of heat in ics.

[Q] new stock 4.1.2 Galaxy s2 question

i found the issue with network lock for the stock 4.1.2 .. its a protection from samsung [(just flash 4.0.3 stock via odin and unlock with galaxy s unlock)( source sammobile )] . anyway .. there , i found the new firmware for odin , in 3 files :
PDA: I9100XXLSJ
CSC: I9100OXXLS1
MODEM: I9100XXLS6
i dont know which one is for network but cant we use another modem or csc so they wont lock our damn network ?
http://www.sammobile.com/2012/11/15/i9100xxlsj-–-galaxy-s-ii-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean-test-firmware/
look over comments . alot of peoples have that problem.
thanks
Firstly, The sim lock in new stock fw has already been discussed OVER AND OVER again already and its EASILY unlockable via simple app. Look before you post.
yes but i didnt found anyone saying to flash 4.0.3 first.. so it will re-lock the network after restart.. so is there any fix ? i wanna use this few days..
Find it in themes and apps section

As I already told you and as is already discussed again and again this is easily fixable via a unlock APP.
If you want to know what app is called use search.
