[Q] Correct XXKI3 ICS upgrade? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Newbie here.
When I first bought my SGS2, every time I had to set it up, the default language was in French (prior to touching the android in the initial setup screen). Didn't check the phone details (baseband info) at that time. I then rooted it and installed CM7 using the procedure in their wiki. Prior to release of ICS, I decided to get it back to stock. I noted the baseband only at this time which showed as XXKI3 under CM7. Looked for stock ROM but Intratech's link was down and CheckFUS didn't have any info on XXKI3. I noticed the XXLPQ ICS ROM was available so decided to install it using Odin3. Language at initial screen was again in French. Everything seems to be working fine (2 days now).
My question: is this (XXLPQ) the correct ICS ROM for my phone?
Also, did I interpret the baseband information correctly, i.e. any ROM with the same first 2 characters (XX in my case) are compatible and refer to the same region? What does the last 3 characters stand for?

XX = Europe
U can also run other basebands
Here is the stock rom: http://hotfile.com/dl/130600675/d481a34/I9100XXKI3.rar.html

So XXLPQ or XX-whatever is OK to use right? In that case I'll stick to the XXLPQ that I have now.

[Q] Confusion between KPH & KPN

KPH is the latest version (2.3.4) which theoretically should be better than KPN (2.3.3), but i have found many ROMS's have KPN as their base & these ROM's are supposed to be the fastest & stable of all ROM's . I am using the latest 2.3.4 KPH Stock ROM provided by Samsung ; & so m confused to which ROM should i go for , those based on KPH or KPN. Please guys if anyone can help me much appreciated (even though i m sound dumb to some people !!)
2.3.4 KPH is not the latest. It was a leaked ROM dated June 2, 2011.
2.3.3 KPN is an official release by Samsung dated July 13, 2011.

it might be complete.... but it's a leaked rom
not even even samsung feel it stable enough to give it official release (otherwise, we'll get 2.3.4 KPH official release instead)
being official release (through kies, samsung service center), samsung must have feel that KPN already stable for mass release. iron some bug, etc.

either seperate file (all 4 including appboot, pda, modem, csc) or one package (but also must include every file needed) work just fine.
i use this
2.3.3 KPN firmware - http://www.multiupload.com/Y643XGWMMN (password: sampro.pl)
it's one package file that include all 9 files needed for full package.
i use it to flash my ace from froyo stock
How to flash one package? In odin check One Package and just mount the rar and click start? What about OPS file?

You need the Cooper_v1.0.ops and then enable one package. Afterwards select the zip in one package.
You can download everything here.
Note that you have to extract the first zip folder until there's only one zip left which is called S5830XWKPN_S5830XWKP6_S5830OXXKP7_HOME

The only new feature kph 2.3.4 has that is not present in kpn 2.3.3 is the video chat in gtalk.
Galaxy Ace users cant even use that feature because the phone does not have a front facing camera.
That is why a lot of ROMs are based on KPN. For the reason that most bugs have been fixed and Samsung has ironed it out already.

I have flashed fla.sh X2 on top of KPH (even though the author said it's KPN-based), and I have yet to encounter problems such as SoD's, FC's and such. I don't if I'm just lucky or it's something I did, but I can't seem to recreate the SoD problems (but I try, though).

Android 2.3.4 is on par with KPH, so it doesn't seem like you are outdated.
But if I were you, just to be safe, I'd still flash it with KPH or KPN if I wanted to use a custom ROM.
I'm sorry for asking, but which country are you from? (Can't see the flag under your avatar as I'm browsing through my phone).

[Q]Update to ICS

Good Morning Everybody, i just yesterday buy one Samsung GS2 and it have I9100XXKI4 Base version i saw many manuals to update it to ICS but my question is what version i need to chose is mater if i chose etc this "I9100XXLPH" and is different than my?
hi mate, ill be brief because its just about my bed time
I9100XXKI4 is gingerbread, I9100XXLPH is ics. So they wont be the same if your upgrading from gb to ics.
Are you wanting a custom rom or stock samsung?

and what CF-Root i need to use? i mean version!
you do know when you flash cf-root via odin your going to increase your custom counter and in effect void your warranty, so youll need to either use a usb jig or use chainfires triangle away app?

yes, everytime you use odin to flash a rom on your phone you increase the custom counter by one, if this is not set to 0 ( zero ) your would lose your warranty if you took it to a samsung store for repair. So when you flash ice cream sandwich on your phone, theres an app called triangle away by chainfire ( play store ) which will reset it back to zero and your warranty will be ok! but only use it on ics not gb.
when you tell me your location ill post you a link to ics for you ( stock ) and the cf-root file and the instructions to use it. You have flashed a phone with odin before?

[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.

Thank you for the details.
can i install the below listed indian stock firmware using odin

or do i need to install the firmware from UK

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]

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.

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.

[Q] SOD on stock XWLP7 - what ROM to switch to?

I'm running:
4.0.3
I9100XXLPS
[email protected] #3
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!

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

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.

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.

I9100XWLPM (4.0.4) - Russia (SER) on I9100XWLP7

Hi,
I have rooted my phone today (woop woop what a difference) and I'm looking now for non branded firmware ICS 4.0.4.
In Original Android Development group there is I9100XWLPM (4.0.4) - Russia (SER). Do you think it will work on my I9100XWLP7 (UK Three network)?
Thanks
Karl
Nah
My opinion? Stick with 4.0.3, the leaked 4.0.4 seems to have caused nothing but trouble.

I have rooted my phone today (woop woop what a difference) and I'm looking now for non branded firmware ICS 4.0.4.
In Original Android Development group there is I9100XWLPM (4.0.4) - Russia (SER). Do you think it will work on my I9100XWLP7 (UK Three network)?
Thanks
Karl

Its personal choice if you want 4.0.4 have a look here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9100&r=1#regiona
Open Europe version (includes UK) is LQ5 from the latest release list about 4 down from the top, I have it on mine and it works fine, just downloaded it and flashed it over my rooted 4.0.3 version without performing any wipes of Dalvik or doing any factory resets.
Then rerooted with ICS - CF-Root v5.5:LQ5 from Chainfires thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 post 8
I have not found any problems with version of 4.0.4

You have been fortunate to avoid the circumstances where there is a possibility of hard bricking your phone. (which admittedly isn't too hard, but still)
FYI - see here.

Siyah isn't 100% working on that Rom. Bluetooth, Video playback, camera preview and connecting to USB isnt working with all other non Stock kernels.
Just to save you the trouble I have literally tested all the kernels today and none of them work correctly at the current moment

Just to let you know I tested all you mentioned above and they all work fine with the CF Root kernel, I suppose that is becasue it is based on stock version, thanks for the info on the Siyah kernel.

Ye np m8
The Cf Root kernel still cause the bug though and you dont have CWM ... so It all works but you shill have the bug in it
I am just waiting for a working Kernel to release my Portal Rom 2.0 so I am on top of all the current issues
Any news on when 4.0.4 will be available via kies/air in the UK? Thanks

If you flash XWLPM DON'T wipe data/factory reset, it can cause your phone to hard brick it can damage EMMC chip and only way to fix is a new board apparently!
I'd stick with XWLP7 from what I've heard there's no significant difference on LPM.
Only if you wipe via CWM mate, stock should be fine.
