I realize this is probably a stupid question but is KI8 the latest firmware out there ATM or is it KI4? I assumed that since 8 is higher than 4 that it is but generally all the new roms coming out use the latest firmware however most are using KI4, not KI8?
KI8 was the latest, now its KJ1. Build date 11/10/11 if I am not wrong. It's about stable though, not newer.
I saw something at the DarkyROMs forum, about KI8 being an updated KI4... And the developers prefer stable full releases... something about the letter codes in front dunno lol... but KI8 is actually the newer of the two...
your both wrong..KI4 is newer version than KI8 and that is only by a day new no biggie...go on Intratech's thread and you get all your details there...but running on both KI4 is more solid and stable

Lul I'm pretty sure its the KI8 which is newer by one day?
XWKI8 (Sept 28) is a couple of weeks newer than XWKI4 (Sept 14). AFAIK, XWKI8 is the newest official version where I live, Denmark.

You almost had me think I was wrong, because I used to think that KI4 was newer myself xP... and a lot of people does that... But ye the KI4 is better than the KI8 this is why its used by everyone rather than the KI8
What modem comes with KJ1? I see Intratech is putting KI3 with it, is this because there is no newer modem or KI3 is better?

well what about KI4 modem?
KI4 is the newest generic modem. Intratech used KI3 because he thinks it's better for battery life. Some other people also prefer it. There is a KJ1 modem but it is from a branded firmware. I don't know if there would be any difference from a generic modem.
I see lots of interest in kj1 but not kj2. Trying to decide which to try.the fact kj2 is an arabic rtl base does put me off a little

Can KI3 be downloaded for Indian version without Indian CSC???

Here is the latest ROM for the nordic people (with swype for Denmark, Norway Sweden etc)
I have also included the XXKG1 modem because I find the Wi-Fi to be more stable than with the XXKE7 or the NEKF2.
Click here to download here the I9100XWKG1_XXKG1_OXXKF1 rom (Link removed!)
Its one big tar.. Flash with ODIN as always...
Who should flash? In phone type : *#1234# and check that your CSC is OXX??? at the end.
Have fun
UPDATE: Im not sure you should use this rom... It seemed fine but I think the battery is getting too hot when charging!!
hey mr jkay
What do you think off its stabiliti
will try it out ,then i give feedback on this
Hi,
Do I understand well that this package was created by you? Or is this a STOCK/OFFICIAL Samsung Package release for the Nordic countries?
Thanks
Cant find this on kies. Is this a frankenstein rom?
Yeah It's XWKG1 from samfirmware. But have replaced the cache.img and modem.bin files so its easier to flash. Works great on my SGS2.
Not an official Samsung release .
Its a test release that has been leaked .
Post topic very misleading .

Based on reading some of the threads here on xda, most of the people are using KJ3, KI4 and KI8 and some uses KI3 like me.
My question is that, what is better ROM? KI3 or KJ3?
Based on this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278) thread xxKI3 is optimized for battery, furthermore I use the KitchenROm KI3 custom room since it is not far the same from the stock rom plus it is optimized.
Now why most of the themes on the first page are created on KJ3?
Just asking what their difference and whatsoever.
thanks in advance.
KJ3 is newer. I'd use it.
aside from that, is it optimized for battery like ki3? I try to search about this topic but could'nt find one.
Samsung doesn't provide a change log with each firmware, its simply newer and people assume its better and it might just be.
KI3 didn't work well for me, i would recommend a newer version like KJ3 or, in my case, KI4
Both have been great on battery for me. Only upgraded to KJ3 so I could use the New jkay Stuff.

Yeap you are correct, actually most of the themes are Based on KJ3, KI8 and KI4, only few with those KI3 that is why I came to ask myself there difference.
Anyhow, very glad for all the replies.

Can someone be kind enough to help me find a link for XWLA4 modem? I can't seem to find one.
Thx
whaddya know first result
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=XWLA4+Stock+Kernel+download
Compatibility:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950
*Modems do not need to be matched up with firmware like it's done with ROMs and Kernels. For example, a KI4 modem can be used with a KL1 ROM and the other way round. The only thing you need to pay attention to is what model your SGS2 is. 9100 and 9100 modems are compatible across both models. However, 9100 model and US variants are not cross compatible since the devices are designed to work on different bands.
Modem is in the stock rom as well

What JJEgan said. Looks like XWLA4 stock ROM comes with an XXKI4 modem anyways.
thx both for trying to answer
First of all i need xwla4 modem not KERNEL.
Second, I know that it doesn't have to be the same with the rom but i had one with xwla4 and had very good battery life and that's why i want to install again xwla4 modem. I found a thread with modems but not the xwla4 one.

Did you read my post? Read it again. From what I can tell, stock XWLA4 firmware comes with XXKI4 MODEM.
My main question : Can I root my S2 Galaxy with CF-Root and the rom free (french operator) in 2.3.6 ?
PDA: I9100XWLA3
PHONE: I9100XXKI4
SCC: I9100FRELA1
1) In this case, should I take the corresponding version in KI4 Gingerbread ?
2) If yes, I saw "CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_KI4-v4.1-CWM4.zip" but only in 4.1. There isn't the latest version 5.5 for KI4 ? (source: Official topically on XDA-Dev http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399)
3) There is other things to do after installing CF-ROOT with Odin ?
4) What does KI4 mean ? It's only reserved for firmware Free operator ?
Thanks.

XXKI4 is only the modem version.
For CF-Root the kernel version is important.
And that is in your case XWLA3.
So, CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OXA_LA4-v5.0-CWM5.zip will work fine for your phone.
P.S.: I recommend to update to XWLA4 (if you want to stay on GB).
This is the latest GB stock ROM version and was best balanced (performance and battery life) on my phone.
Have a look at my kernel test results => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26775950
Oh okay so i'm in XWLA3.
What, the LA4 will work fine for my LA3 ?
Have you a link for me to find XWLA4 ? Is it in 2.3.7 ? (I just waiting for ICS 4.0.4 because i saw to many people say that battery life and performance is too bad)
Nice your topic, very interesting !

I know the link for CF-ROOT, I was talking about the firmware XWLA4 please

You can get it from Intratech's official firmware thread in the Original Development section, but if you don't have any issues with your current firmware, why not just stay where you are? I'm still on XXKI3, which is 2.3.5, and I haven't flashed anything newer yet because everything works just fine for me. (I'll eventually go to ICS, I'm just waiting until I'm completely confident all the bugs have been squashed...)
Oh, and there is no 2.3.7 for this phone. 2.3.7 was a Nexus S 4g specific update to add Google Wallet support.
You right, 2.3.6 is very good for me at this time.
But are you sure CFROOT LA4 work fine for my LA3 firmeware, no brick after ?

Yes. Read post 1 of the CF-root thread, under where it says "Help! which file do I use ?"
Tkanks ctomgee, I see now, so let's flash !
I'm running:

I9100XXLPS

IML74K.XWLP7
I am getting a lot of Sleeps Of Death. I'd like to see if another ROM, or perhaps just another kernel, could get rid of it.
I've read a lot on the forum about the different ROM options, but nothing authoritative on whether any ROMs are SOD-free on the S2. Could anyone suggest a ROM to try, or - could I get by with just flashing a new kernel, e.g. Siyah? I am semi-noob so I don't quite know whether it is possible to put just a new kernel on top of what I have.
Thanks!
do a wipe and flash the newer xwlpg lpd lpf

I have had this rom since its release and had no problems at all the only difference is I use Siyah Kernel for SG2 from here http://www.gokhanmoral.com/
If you do want a different rom it depends on your country and you can check that on Sammobile.com firmwares to make sure you do have the latest version

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I can't find that in the "Official i9100..." thread - where should I look? Will that ROM work in the UK?

Thanks! I had looked at Siyah but wasn't sure - you have confirmed two things for me: 1) it works with the rest of the stock ROM components, and 2) at least you don't have SOD (I know, no guarantee I won't have them, but I'll give it a go).
As soon as I've had the time to flash Siyah and see if it gets rid of the SODs, I'll report back here (it'll be a couple of days). Thanks again.

Click the firmwares tab then click the Smartphone link, then the Android link, then your phone model and finally Europe
There is a column headed Country / Carrier the generic UK & Yreland rom was released in April which is LP7 but if you are carrier branded like o2 there is a June release for that which is LPD unless you are carrier branded LP7 is the latest version that covers the UK.
thanks LeifGR ... i m looking for the same thing. but found no solutions yet.... i m from india
