Hey,
I need your help because im really confused. I installed the VillainROM (2.4.2) but it doesnt work properly for me so I want to flash the Stock ROM over it - but how?
I need Odin, okay, but which "file" do I need? Because all the XXKDJ and XWKF4 and what ever are really confusing me, so I'm not quite sure which one I need (Orange - Austria)...
Would be great if someone could help me!
Thanks,
hd21337
Just download the latest stock firmware and flash it via Odin.
www.samfirmware.com or Intratech's thread under Original Android dev section.
regards.

Hi all,
Firstly I am a complete newbie so any step by step guide , pointer to the correct link or direction is so much appreciated.
My situation is:
I have SGS2 with:
Model Number: GT-I9100
Android Version : 2.3.3
Baseband Version: I9100xxKG1
Kernel 2.6..35.7-I9100ZSKG2-CL361136
Build number : GingerBread ZSKG2
1. I want to try either Litening Rom 6.1 or Darky ROM.
* Is this the correct Link to follow?
Darky: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159920
Litening : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274
** Do I need to root the phone before installing the Litening ROM? or can I go ahead with my current spec and flash it with Litening ROM via ODIN?
2. I want to preserve my Current state of my Device before flashing with Darky or Litening.
* Is it possible to back up everything so I can return it to the way it is for Warranty purposes?
* or is it not possible to put back when we installed Darky or Litening?
3. Which one do you recommend Darky or Litening? - which one is less bug at this stage?
I am hoping that by flashing with the custom rom, it will make the device
- faster more efficient
- still able to get good GPS signal (or better)
- Good Wifi reception (or better)
- Good battery life (or better than now)
Please let me know if this is a false hope?
Thanks guys - sorry for the very basic questions.
Regards,
You should really have posted this in Q&A, it will get your question answered much quicker (and it will be in the right place as this thread has nothing to do with Android Development)
I think that litening is better , so all you need is download the rom extract de .tar file and put in PDA and flash via odin and your done, and u keep all u hav before litening dont need wipes

Thank you for the reply.
Will the Litening root my device?
If I want to keep my current device rom,kernel, etc... as a backup (for warranty purposes), Will this be possible?
If possible, which apps do I need to use and is there any tutorial for this process?
Thank you so much for the reply
Flash Litening with Odin (via PC). The process will root your device.
It's easy. There are guides in this forum.
If you need to go back to stock, download and flash original firmware. You can get it in this forum.
You may wanna buy/build a jig for resetting the custom binary counter as well, in case you need to send the phone to repair.

I found this link here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274
is this the one I need to follow?
Do I need to install CWM separately?
can I directly flash directly from :
Model Number: GT-I9100
Android Version : 2.3.3
Baseband Version: I9100xxKG1
Kernel 2.6..35.7-I9100ZSKG2-CL361136
Build number : GingerBread ZSKG2
to Litening ROM 6.1??
Thanks again
I have been researching the net on this and the posts in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278.
I haven't been able to post in there as I am a new user, but if someone can help me with this, it would be great.
I'm trying to upgrade my firmware to XXKH3 - Android 2.3.4.
My current version is:
PDA: I91000XWKE7
PHONE: I9100XXKE4
CSC: I9100OPSKE4
My Galaxy S II is rooted and it's on the OPTUS network in Australia.
My question is, how should I go about it?
Do I download the XXKH3 Stock Kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/C4DRUIJTLL and place that in PDA and PHONE in Odin?
And for CSC do I get this: Optus OPSKG1 CSC: http://www.multiupload.com/EPWZTIMS1F and place it in CSC?
I want to be able to use the OPTUS network on XXKH3, but without OPTUS bloatware. I'm just not sure which files to get so I can be with OPTUS on an Australian firmware if that makes any sense.
My last question is, would this then wipe my data? Or not?
I appreciate any help on this.

you are referring to the right thread. clear instructions are given on that thread.
choose the PDA option.
CSC has nothing to do with what languages the firmware supports and it will not add keyboard language support either.
You don't have to change the kernel or root or unroot to flash a new stock firmware.
You can then flash the kernel of your choice.
If you want the CF-root KH3 kernel. refer this thread
If you want to flash stock KH3 kernel you can also do that.
as far as operator bloatware is concerned search for operator specific bloatware removal scripts which can be executed using Gscript app . or a simpler option would be to freeze or uninstall the bloatware apps using Titanium back up Pro.
Thank you for the fast reply.
So pretty much all I need to do is put the XXKH3 Stock Kernel in the PDA option and that's it. So the OPTUS network will not be affected correct?
Then root it and I'm done?
Thanks again!

Excellent. Thanks.
I guess my last question is, by doing this, putting the XXKH3 in the PDA option, will this wipe my data?
Should I back up?
Back up apps with Titanium Pro

Alright will do. Thanks for all your help guys!
let me know how you get on,am severely tempted to flash new firmware just for a change!
Hm. I just put XXKH3 Stock Kernel in PDA and flashed it but my phone still says Android 2.3.3. I used the CF-root KH3 kernel as well to root it again.
What do I need to do to get it to Android 2.3.4? Do I have to place it in PHONE as well?
The ROM is 2.3.4, just about any ROM in original development is. What you are trying to flash is kernel. Best of luck.

Er, Kernel is kernel and firmware is firmware. Flashing the kernel won't update the firmware, just the kernel.
Alright I think I understand now.
Downloading the package, which should do it and I guess the stock kernel is used to root/rid yourself of the yellow triangle.

It went well, the phone is working great.
My data didn't get wiped.
Follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278.
Download the XXKH3 package.
I also used Titanium to backup my apps just in case and MyBackup Pro for contacts etc. but haven't needed to use it.
After you flash that (if you want to root the phone) go to this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 and get CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KH3-v4.1-CWM4.zip. Put that in PDA and flash it.
To get rid of the yellow triangle, follow this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14283369&postcount=2.
That's it. Thanks for all your help guys!
ok so lets say I chose new stock firmware to avoid the triangle,then later wanted to be official,could i plug my phone into kies and updatd to official 2.3.4 without problems?
i would like to try oranges firmware without rooting the device and voiding my warranty!

Go to the original firmware thread in my signature. There on the first page you will find jpkj2 firmware flash that. It has arabic in it.
It is a much simpler option and it ia 2.3.5 gingerbread.

Hello how i can back to stock my galaxy s2? i rooted and put checkrom works nice but i want to learn how get back to stock again im confused
I didnt wrote down the pda version and kernel before install checkrom and rooted what recommend me to do?
thanks.
Just flash official firmware package from Intratech's XDA firmware thread via Odin.
Use your Product Code (sometimes found on your box) on the Chek Fus Download website to find your original PDA etc (if you're not 100% sure) or search the first couple thread posts for match.
Follow his flash instructions and you're done

you can get your stock firmware from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
It also includes instructions of using odin and flashing the downloaded firmware .... if you are rooted take a nandroid backup every time you flash custom from stock ........ that ways you'll always have a backup of the stock firmware ......
Yep, my post is rather incomplete, forgot to add the link cheers

Yes I'm a noob, but seriously trying to figure all of this out so help is greatly appreciated. OH and I'm trying to get back to stock in attempts to get CF root to hopefully get cyanogenmod to install rather than abort the installation.

Actually all the firmwares provided in the thread are stock ..........
If you are a Noob i would not recommend cyanogenmod though it is pretty good but i've heard it's for advanced users and stuff ........ why do you need to flash stock is my primary question ........... use this thread only http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
You need to update latest firmware for your region as a KIES update is there / on the way?
Find out the latest firmware for your region to flash via http://fus.nanzen.se/ it will provide you with the stock firmware your phone should have after selecting the specific region.
You need to update latest firmware irrespective of region (like Me)
Just download the latest firmware available in the 2nd or 3rd section of the thread. in this case 2.3.6 (KK2 or KK5).
In case of any more issues post back.
so I tried kk2 and kk5 and kk2 gave me no service, and kk5 failed to even install. I'm at a loss. I really want CF root, but can't install it on the stock eg30 that I've been using as my stock rom. SO what next? Any other way to figure out which stock firmware from that link will work for my phone?
hello???
Is there anyone who can help me figure this out?????
hi guys,
i've tried few other roms, XXLPH recently and it changed my Baseband to XXLPH. i recovered my phone back to original Stock ROM 2.3.5 (XWKJ1) where my baseband was XXKI4, everything is like it was before except the baseband, which is still XXLPH. is it possible to somehow flash only the baseband without wipeing the phone with stock rom via Odin ? everything seems to be working so do I even need to flash it ? also, I don't really understand what that Baseband does.
thank you
Most of the ROMs don't include a baseband / modem / radio, so you can flash what you want separately. If you cand find an Odin flashable modem file, then you can change only that, without any other modifications. There are also CWM flashable ones, which is much easier than with Odin.
ok, got it.. so the question is, do I need to change it back to KI4 if everything is working with LPH (and my battery seems to live longer with LPH) although LPH is for ICS 4.0.3 and KI4 is for GB 2.3.5 which i have now ? thanks
//and where can I get these ? in Odin it is Modem button right ? and in CWM it is update.zip, so I just need my XXKI4, any ideas ? thanks
If it works leave it .
Modem files are in the Modem thread in dev section .
jje
ok, i found them.. but the second question please

You are right . In odin it's the "modem".And in CWM it's a ZIP file(whether it's name is Update doesn't matter)
thank you all
