Samsung Galaxy S II :: Updating To 4.0 And Changing CSC?
Apr 8, 2012
I need help updating to android 4.0. I have been going trough pages and reading, but there is simply too much stuff that i cant understand. Here is the situation: I can't update to android 4.0 through kies. What i need to do?
Model number: GT.i9100
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: I9100XXKG1
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-i9100XXKG1-CL349526 se.infra@SEP-39 #2
Build number: Gingerbread.XXKG1
I have rooted my phone earlier, installed custom ROM, and then installed android 2.3.4 stock firmware. Information above tells everything about my SGS2. I can't find android 4.0 firmware download links, or instructions how to even do it. I have odin, and before i rooted my phone i took this information up what my phone used to be
baseband 19100xxki4
kernel i9100xwki8
To be hones, i don't know what those even mean. I only know that now they are different, and because my CSC is wrong i cant update with kies. I installed application called CSC select and it says my CSC is KOR. I also read that it needed to be NEE(nordic countries), to be able to update with kies. How ever CSC select application doesn't have a NEE available...

I'm using rooted 2.3.5 KI3 firmware and I've downloaded a nice .zip file boot animation that I want to use on my phone.. Firstly I tried finding the bootanimation file using ASTRO and found 3 files...
/sbin/bootanimation
/sbin/bootanimation.sh (tiny file size)
/system/bin/bootanimation
...and none of them state their file type. I understand I'd need to backup/rename the file before I replace it with bootanimation.zip ?I also tried flashing the .zip file in CWM recovery mode, but I hadn't renamed the file to bootanimation.zip and the update aborted. Would this be necessary for it to work?

My Galaxy SII had to have it's screen replaced (I'll hold my hands up, I dropped it). Before the repair I'd updated the phone to 2.3.5 which saw significant improvements such as battery life etc.During the repair the phone was reset to 2.3.4 and now I can't get it to update to 2.3.5 either via Kies or over the air.

I mean by before, I have noted other posts refer to factory reset, cache clearing, and a couple of other bits/bobs, what is the best route from scratch? I have done a small list below, if you can put it into do first, 2nd, 3rd etc and add any other actions I may have missed off? I want this to be as near a perfect upgrade as possible...Fully charge battery Factory reset + How to get to (the button route) Cache Clearing + How to get to (the button route)Back up and what needs backing up, and what not to back up Any other missed off procedures before updating?

I've been told by Samsung technical support that updating from Gingerbread 2.3.X to ICS won't be available over the air because it's such a large file and the risk of updating OTA is too high. So [according to Samsung technical support] the only way to update to ICS (other than via ODIN) will be via Kies.

Am I correct in thinking that to have a hassle free upgrade from Version 2.3.X to ICS you should do a factory reset prior to downloading the update then another factory reset after you've downloaded the update?Also can you still update OTA after doing the first factory reset?Is it better to update OTA rather than use Kies? Also do the apps that you downloaded under 2.3.X still work under ICS?Most of all is ICS worth it?

I''m trying to update the firmware on my Galaxy S2 (or GT-i9100) phone through Kies 2.1.1 on Windows 7 x64.. If finds the update available for the device and shows windows to update firmware. The new/latest update version available is PDA-KL1/PHONE:KL1/CSC:KL1(INU) After clicking to update, it downloads the update and goes into next step of "Preparing firmware update components", but then the process terminates after few seconds and nothing happens. The phone reconnects to kies s/w and again the firmware upgrade window is shown. So cannot update the firmware.

I'm on the Three network in the UK and upgraded to ICS yesterday. Since then the S2 continually crashes and restarts every few minutes. I took a backup before I upgraded although I didn't backup my photos. Because of the constant crashing I can't use the phone long enough to do much of anything. When I try and run apps, like Google Play the S2 becomes unresponsive. Not sure if my problems are caused by an app, but at one point I did manage to get a list of all the apps that were running:

I have an s6 and the factory installed 4x1 clock/weather app no longer works. The clock still keeps time, but the weather icon on the right hand side does not show the current weather, will not update, nor will it allow me to touch the widget and enter into the settings/different cities. It was working fine up until about a week ago. I've tried restarting my phone and removing/re-positioning the widget, but no luck. It can't be uninstalled as it came with OS.

I just purchased a Samsung Omnia II/2 (GT-I8000). It is loaded with Windows Mobile 6.5 (non-English). Where can I download the English version of the ROM? Also, how do I wipe the current ROM and install the English version?

I recently purchased a Samsung SGH-A256 phone to replace my old one that died. I got it cause the phone was cheap and I could just stick my SIM card in and be done with it. Anyway, I tried using the internet with it and it keeps saying "Error: Network Unavailable". I assume it's cause the phone uses the Edge network up here and I don't have access to it on my current plan (my old phone was a Sony Ericsson). So my question is: can I change the APN from internet.com to something and access the internet? Sorry, I'm a little foggy here but like I said, I'm new to all this. I've been trying to look around and find out what this APN business is but all the websites I find don't really explain it.

A few of German S6 users who own a T-Mobile contract are a little bit in trouble. Since T-Mobile has activated VoLTE it is only possible to use this feature with a branded S6. So we tried a lot of things to change the CSC.
Flash the 4 parts firmware first then do factory reset and so one, but finally we get only DDE (this is Congstar without the possibility to activate VoLTE)
How to modify the CSC and extract the DDE files so that we flash only DTM.
Here the file name: CSC_DDX_G920FDDX3QOIT_CL5636704_QB6439838_REV02_us er_low_ship.tar.md5

After flashing 5.1.1 (Xtrestolite) on my S6 I noticed an annoying thing. When changing my dpi to 480 (and also 520) and applying a theme I got a message after rotating my phone to landscape mode (for example in the browser or camera app.
A dialog appeared with the title "Keyboard cover attached" and the message "Unable to apply downloaded themes while the keyboard cover is attached. The default theme will be applied". Pressing ok applies the default samsung theme and the only other option is to rotate the phone back to portrait after which the dialog disappears.
The issue seems to be with the ThemeCenter.apk in the /system/priv-app/ThemeCenter folder, I'll check if I can patch it somehow but in the meantime I have a dirty workaround... after applying the theme you want just rename the 'ThemeCenter.apk' to something like 'ThemeCenter.apk.mod'. Reboot the phone and you can rotate the phone as you wish without getting the msg and the stock theme being applied.
Only downside is you can not apply other themes while having it renamed (read disabled). Going to Themes in settings gives a crash, but at least the theme sticks now. If you wish to change the theme again, just rename the apk back to normal and reboot. Most likely the default theme will be applied again but you can now change it (and after changing, same procedure... rename and reboot).

This just started today. I haven't done anything different. No unknown source apps were downloaded. My pin lock screen will change on its own to the swipe to open screen.

Like when you use applications and they automatically turn the status bar black. Is there a system file I can edit to change the default color to something like a green when I'm opening certain applications that use the black bar? I really don't want to put up with seeing burn in where the status bar is in the main UI or watching videos or something like that.

I've been using the fingerprint scanner on the GS5 but sometimes I run into problems I tried to enter my alternate pass code (or at least what I thought it was) and it doesn't work, and in order for me to change it I need the original which I don't have. Is there any way to bypass this and create a new one?

My wallpaper changes over night and I don't know why. I don't have it set to live, I don't have an app that changes it and I haven't done the lollipop reset that ive read most people with this problem have done. I keep pushing it off a day until I start hearing good things. So far the update seems to turn your phone into garbage. I've already had to reset my phone once bc it crapped out on me and it's barely a year old so I am not updating.

This week something very odd has been happening on my phone. When I open Textra to send a text, it asks me if I want to make it my default app for messages. For some reason, my default messaging app keeps changing to Titanium backup. Why is that even an option? If I change it back to Textra, the change only lasts about a day.
