Hi I have attached screen capture of my SGSII. Please help to choose correct ROOT and flash files.

If you are not able to see my SGSII picture please refer this post :o

The ones above should do you fine.

I downloaded KI8 and initially unzipped the downloaded .tar file only to find one file inside. I guess the downloaded .tar file goes into 'PDA' in Odin?

I also have the same firmware version with kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555 root@DELL101 #2

As i am located in Bangladesh and kies says "this version of the device cannot be updated"

Now please tell me what i can do to upgrade to the newer firmware version 2.3.4 or 2.3.5
Please help me, as i am new to android world. I'm stuck with battery drain problem.

download the firmware from this thred, flash it. problem solved

http://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j335/lloydieb1/SC20111010-184615.pngGone from custom roms and flashed this with CF-Root and very happy, I noticed the homescreens now have continous loop like app windows, or did this come in at some other time. .? Also I know quadrant isn't a good benchmark per se,but just ran it and got a score of 4204!! never got that before. Going to stay on stock-ish for a while with few tweaks,also does anyone else get amazed when they take out their phone from it's case, I'm still going OMG what a super slim sleek bit of kit :-D

I think the new kernel in cf root is a significant improvement. as is 2.3.5 overall, and yes I always put mine in the slimmer official case if I'm going to meet friends. Gotta show off sometimes.

Yep your phone will turn into a transformer and nick your wallet all the while laughing maniacally

Are you serious:mad::mad::mad:

Are you serious:mad::mad::mad:

It will definitely work, why it won't? ! Any European non branded version will work. Just flash the Indian CSC of KF3 with it and you will have the Network default features like APN and etc.

Could you please provide me link for "Indian CSC of KF3" so that i can flash my SGSII.

Have you tried looking on XDA?

Of course he didn't! In fact Googling would do :). Anyway, here it is, I hope you know you have to Extract the .exe to get the .tar file. Pass is: intratech@XDA

Thanks for answering these foolish questions.....

I want to add something.. So this "CSC: I9100ODDKF3" applicable for both Bangladesh and India as we are in the same region, isn't it???

So let me ask you guys again, while updating to new firmware version PDA and Phone will be updated and CSC will remain the same right???

Please dont get angry for these newbie questions cause we dont want to harm our phones.

Thanks.

I agree with Hossain.

I originally wanted to update to 2.3.4 from 2.3.3 via Kies but that piece of crap software won't work whatever I do.... Well never mind that when I came across to this thread.

1) This is an official rom/update right? Does it include Touchwiz or do I have to use default gui unless I root and install Touchwiz manually?
2) Also if I have understood this right, I can update the android without the root included in the post?
3) Does the installation wipe out all data and such?
4)Does it work fine in:
PDA: XWKF3
PHONE: XXKE7
CSC: XXKF1

5) The download only has this file I9100XXKI4_HOME.tar.md5 What about CSC/Phone.
Hmm... so Only need HOME.tar.md5 in PDA field I see? And root? Re-partition required for this one?

Excuse me I am such a noob in this field and I don't want to brick a 500€ phone

EDIT: I went and tried it: Odin got stuck at SetupConnection what could I be doing wrong ? :(

1) This is an official rom/update right? Does it include Touchwiz or do I have to use default gui unless I root and install Touchwiz manually?

well, yeah...its a samsung rom so tw is included as a default....do you have a file that can install tw?


2) Also if I have understood this right, I can update the android without the root included in the post?

not sure what you mean


3) Does the installation wipe out all data and such?

unless its a frankenstein pacakage, yes



4)Does it work fine in:
PDA: XWKF3
PHONE: XXKE7
CSC: XXKF1

irrelevant


5) The download only has this file I9100XXKI4_HOME.tar.md5 What about CSC/Phone.
Hmm... so Only need HOME.tar.md5 in PDA field I see? And root? Re-partition required for this one?

the file you have contains everything, stick it in PDA and flash it
when you open odin, leave it at its default setup
and what about root?



EDIT: I went and tried it: Odin got stuck at SetupConnection what could I be doing wrong ? :(

could be a couple of things...

My SGS1 on Vodafone UK shows

ModelGT-I9000
frimeware 2.3.5
Baseband version I9000XXJVS
kernel version 2.6.35/70I9000XXJVS-CL565837 se.infra@SEPT-73#2
Build number GINGERBREAD.XXJVS

Is this OK and up-to-date or what?

Don't know

You have posted this in the wrong section, this is the sgs2 section

Hi All,
Just now i have updated my Firmware. Now it is 2.3.5. :-)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Can any one tell about rooting so that i can install "Titanium backup" for removing unwanted Samsung apps.

Hello,

Could someone help me as quick as possible with the following problem.
I think I'm doing everything as I should, but Odin always gets stuck at 'SetupConnection'.
Why is this and what can I do about it?
My phone is still in download mode now, but if the firmware update doesn't work.. how can I get it to normal mode?

Thanx

Just hold the power button to restart but not if it is in the middle of flashing. Connection error? was odin showing green in the com port?
