XWKDD 2.3.3 questions - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just go the new I9000, it was an unlocked phone but it seems to be a Tmobile version (international perhaps?)
anyways, I am on the ATT network and the HSPA+ without a problem. and it currently came with the XWKDD firmware installed. I would like to keep it stock, i just had lots of issues with my ATT Captivate after i moved to Gingerbread, and this one seems to have everything.. so far it was an easy root, i also got the CRT shutoff setup.
I would like to have the battery mod where I can see the % of the battery.
but this seems like an older Rom, and the updates do not let me move up to 2.3.4(?).
is there anything newer out there, that is stock, also if I do put a rom on it, how hard would it be to go back to stock?
and for the love that is all holey, how do I turn off the 100% warning.. that wakes my butt up when i really would rather not know!
thanks
Eaton
sorry for the newb question, i feel odd with this phone.

I9000? You're sure you don't mean the I9100?
In case you're talking I9100 (SII):
Here's a huge pile'o'stock-ROMs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
incl. instructions on how to flash.
KDD is fairly old (oldest one I've seen so far).
And there's also a thread about the 100% notification, but don't have a link to it ATM, just look around, it's there

Help. Trying to update my Bolt to Gingerbread

Hi guys, I have a rooted Bolt currently running 1.70.605.0. I rooted when i got it back in May and since then I installed a rooted update of Froyo. The phone has been dropping network connection a lot lately that it's very aggrevating. I am thinking it may help fix my problem if I update to Gingerbread with the new radio.
i downloaded the file 2.11.605.3.zip from the TeamBamF.net site last night but now I am sort stuck. It's been so long since I rooted this phone so I kinda need some help. I search everywhere but haven't found a thread where there is like a step by step direction. If someone can provide me some assistance or point me to the right thread I would so much appreciate it.

The data dropping out may be due to some work/upgrades in your area ... call VZW to see if they know anything.
As far as updating to GB, my advice is tread lightly ... especially if you're just wanting a stock version of it. There are bugs, the biggest being voice mail notifications not working, that may drive you nuts. That being said, there are several custom ROMs around that have fixes/tweaks that make this plagued GB build VZW & HTC released much more manageable. Look around and there are a few "stock" custom ROMs out there - or if you prefer a totally different look/feel there are several Sense 3.0 ports to choose from too.
As far as a how-to guide, the best one I've seen is THIS ONE. Read it and get knowledge my friend
Happy flashing!
2.11.605.3.zip is the [gb] patch - "It changes camera libs, and some insignificant
framework, and apks." as stated on teambamf.net, i did read it is running smooth,
increased battery life but,with issues pertaining to vm notification error and front facing camera
upside down. i agree with Yank talk with carrier, im currently running dasBAMF Forever
kernel 2.6.35.10 stock radios have had no issues.

Can you link me to that download? I would like to see exactly what you are making reference to before I comment.
Some of those update .zips are the full unrooted rom. You wouldn't want to flash that. You want to make sure and look for something like...
"Rooted Debloat Blah Blah Blah"
The link provided by Yank is a good one. #3 for "Flashing a Rom".
Also another hint (just in case you are unfamiliar with recovery). the camera buttons toggle up/down and the power button is used to make a selection. you can select "go back" by toggling to it and selecting it or you can use the soft back key.
hope that helps.
As to the voicemail issue, Eris has fixed that. Took him 30 minutes, he said.

[Q] ICS Update Now have little issue when starting WIFI

First off I have a untouched amaze, But I want it rooted (just dont know where to start) and a bit nervous to mess up the phone.
But anyway I just updated to ICS 4.0 yesterday and whenever I go to turn my WIFI on it jumps me to my phones lockscreen, not my GOLOCKER one, I looked for a little bit on my phone to see if it were a security thing but couldnt find it, any help would be great.
I will be around more trying to get the concept down of rooting so i will have some questions but I will also do my research first, thanks guys
Carrier?
T-Mobile
It's a known issue for some, try a custom rom? See if that helps. Could be a bad flash, but you can't re-update unless you're s-off.

Best looking and faster roms for KOODO (or at least one that not 1 years old)

Hi, I'm looking for the faster and good looking roms for koodo mobile (not telus, its screw signal)
I've Cyanogenmod 7 v10 with a custom koodo baseband (to work on the 5830D )but it's look like its still screwing my signal (random disconnect, its work half the time, the others half I need to go choose telus provider again and again (even if i'm on koodo)
I think its about the koodo CSC not in the rom and i dont think i can add them manually
If you have advices or roms, or how to manually add CSC, please help me i'm desesperate, I dont want to run an old mod from 1 years ago because theyre is almost no development for customs koodo roms
Errr... You already posted this and it got closed. Stop asking. You won't get an answer.

No best ROM, but...
First things first, there is no "best ROM". That's a matter of opinion. That said, I was really happy with APOCALYPSE, and right now I'm trying out DROID ACE V2.
I've tried several ROMS, and most I didn't like right away. But Itasoulas did some phenomenal work with MIRACLE and APOCALYPSE. Hopefully I'm just as happy with DROID ACE V2 (I just installed it, so it's too early to say, but I didn't want to uninstall it right away, at least).
Hope this helps.
actually, i dont want the BEST roms, I know its depend on everyone, I'm looking for roms that work with KOODO, or customs made for it (its a samsung 5830 D )
in case you didnt noticed, I removed every ''best'' in my text, so i'm just looking for something that work on koodo
i've tryed a fews and everytime I get signal problems (even if I load the baseband with ODIN)
you can resume what i'm asking by : is there ANY RECENT ROMS that work on KOODO? (GT-5830D and baseband DTLKI4) specific for Koodo
Kevenlekiller was doing some works but its not upgraded anymore (since one year)
I dont want to be a pain in the a** but I have this phone, half bricked because I cant use any roms...
either I use an old roms, use it working half time or I bring it back to stock
At least, do anyone know how to upgrade or install new CSC to the phone ? (its maybe my problems, phone only show telus, rogers and bell number)
I have this phone from Koodo. Stock is the best, flash via odin. I currently use S5830XWKTQ_S5830OXXKT4_S5830XWKT8_HOME.tar.md5 (2.3.6) with the koodo Modem_S5830DTLKI4.tar. No problems with cell signal, GPS, 3G/HSDPA, plus the battery life is great and apps like netflix work great...and games run much better than Koodo's 2.3.4. Make sure you do a factory reset data from the settings menu after flashing.
I'm using this phone with Koodo, and all the roms I mentioned in earlier post work fine.

HTC One Cross Compatible stuff

Hi guys,
so what i've been noticing is there is alot of stuff in the HTC One international version section and i've heard and seen people running different stuff from there.
i think it might be a good idea to start a thread or something that can link to those specific threads about kernel's or roms that work on our phone. I've already loaded up a battery % mod from there that works with our phone. that might get the ball rolling.
from what i heard all the roms are cross compatible since pretty much no one adds firmware into their roms just the OS software and thats it. *correct me if i'm wrong*
though the one thing to be weary about is since the tmobile wifi calling is built into our stock rom if you want to keep it you'd have to mod the current rom file we're using. if you use the international roms it will not have wifi calling since their roms stock dont come with it.
Just a thought to get the ball rolling on roms. I'm one to not really care about wifi calling since i mean most of us are on the new tmobile non contract unlimited lines anyways so theres no need to worry about going over minutes. you'd be only worried about it if your out of the country or in a place that has really bad signal and want to use wifi to make a call.

Everything over there will work with our phone. I'm not sure why they made a different section.

[Q] i777 modem/RIL questions

Okay, so, I've done a fair amount of reading and searching about modems and RILs, including other forums, but I've still yet to find the specific information I'm looking for. (Most of the stuff that I've found relates to the i9100.) So if I missed the relevant post, I apologize, please direct me there.
That said, here's the deal. I've got an i777, which I have unlocked and am currently using on T-Mobile. I've flashed the stable CM 10.1.3 (Android 4.2.2). Its baseband is UCLE5. It's running well. I have few complaints, except for occasional low signal.
I've already seen this thread, with the different modems available: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1336958
I lost the link, but I also found a thread, possibly on another forum, where a T-Mobile user reported better performance with baseband UCMD8. I'd like to try it. I think I can manage flashing it on my own via CWM.
However, I've read in a bunch of places that it's also important to have a RIL matching the baseband version. I found a thread that gives a terminal emulator command to find your current RIL version (getprop "gsm.version.ril-impl"), and mine is "Samsung RIL(IPC) v2.0", which is apparently from Gingerbread.
So, my question is this: Should I also change my RIL? If so, 1) where would I get the appropriate RIL for the i777 with CM10.1.3, and 2) how would I install it, preferably without performing another wipe, reset and ROM installation?
Thanks in advance for your help!

You have nothing to worry about - just flash the i777 modem you want via recovery; you don't have to wipe anything, it will work fine. I wouldn't worry too much about RIL; over the two years of changing modems back and forth I've never encountered any problems regarding RIL (except for some wakelocks, but that's more to do with bad/weak signal than anything else).
To be clear, I'd still be happy for input from anyone regarding the i777's RIL, but I did go ahead and flash UCMD8. I've already noticed something new; my phone now seems to drop from H+ to 3G fairly aggressively when I'm not actually using it, then go back to H+ when I do, where since flashing CM10.1.3, it previously connected only at H+ or E. I imagine this is a battery saving measure. I'll have to see how it behaves for a few days.
Thanks for your response SteveMurphy. By the way, what baseband/RIL version do you use, if I may ask?

I'm on UCMD8,
The reason you're seeing 3G more often is because with the newer roms you have the ability to better control your network modes. For instance, if you want to use Edge you can manually switch to 2G mode. It's possible the older firmwares (GB, ICS...) had this option but I really can't remember.
Galaxy S Backdoor
So it seems my question about RILs was unintentionally timely, as Samsung's RIL for Galaxy S devices contains a backdoor that's been verified with proof of concept.
https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/replicant-developers-find-and-close-samsung-galaxy-backdoor
http://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/SamsungGalaxyBackdoor
I'm not sure which version of Samsung's RIL they tested, or whether they tested the I777, but it seems most Galaxy phones are affected.
Hope someone gets to work on this soon.

Suspiciously timely, yes.
here's another take on the back-door claim:
