Hi Everyone,
Just got my new GS2 from Vodafone Australia.
Below is the frimware
hxxp://i.imgur.com/WlVEi.jpg
(cant post links yet)
And Keis says the following
PDA: KF2
PHONE: KF2
CSC:KF2 (VAU)
My question is - Does anyone want me to upload this firmware and if so point me to a guide.
wanted to get this out there before i root it and load a custom rom.
yep i certainly do my good fellow
God i hate the Spanish way of life! They're so lazy! I'm still on KE1 and no update via KIES. How did you find out about your update?
I didn't find out about it - thats the firmware the phone came with.
can anyone point me to a guide on how to backup and upload the firmware?
I'll upload the firmware later but I think this won't work for normal Galaxy S II phones as this is the GT-I9100T model.
I'm debating whether I should add it to the firmware thread because I don't want someone to accidentally flash this and brick the GT-I9100 device.
Beat me with a cricket bat and call me Andy! This SOB is nearly a GB is size!!!!!
WTH is in this firmware?
Crap, is this firmware good or something lol, i already loaded a custom rom on my one
it seems this firmware has problem browsing internet thru wifi.
Has no problem isung 3G but no thru wifi.
my other mobiles, notebook have no problem connect internet by using same router
I've added this to the carrier firmware thread in the dev forum along with kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/L13G7SSOVN
Please do not flash this on a normal GT-I9100 device, the firmware is for the GT-I9100T model and I don't know if it's compatible

Hey mate I'm in exactly the same boat as you, have an aussie vodafone sgs2, any chance you know the difference between the i9100 and the i9100t?
Also which kernel are you going to use? As im not sure which would be the correct one.
Thanks

Hmm didnt notice the GT-9100T at first.
How/What should i check to compare with the normal 9100?
as for the firmware. since the model number is different can i still flash a custom rom and root it as normal?
I got no idea if anything is different and if it is it's nothing visible.
I'm not going to flash anything till I find out just to be safe

The only difference is in the link.

Ok so looks like there is no difference hardware wise. Makes sense that the optus one doesnt care about the 850Mgz band but i thought all GS2s were quad band.
Didnt expect a difference between them
i guess ill just try flash some stock and custom roms and see what happens.
does it matter that the custom roms are build on KF4 and i only have KF2?
Not sure on that one, hopefully someone can answer that for us.
If you do flash one let me know which one you use.
Also I assume you haven't rooted either, as I said I am going to wait for the moment.

In poland and this just appeared on my Kies for update, so far don't see anything new
I dont think rootingis going to be a problem, im sure superoneclick or something will be fine.
but i dont quite understand how kernels and firmware work yet
not sure what i can replace with what etc
can anyone help me to find csc for optus or australia ? sorry i am posting it here

So if I flash these files with ODIN, will this return my SGS2 - i9100T back to stock and return its warranty status, or do I need reset counters or something like that?
Thanks
Hi there...let me shed some light. I've flashed the previous version (KE6) of the Vodafone AU rom not realising it was a Vodafone AU rom on my GT-i9100 and it did not brick my phone. Instead, after flashing, my phone now says its a GT-i9100T
According to a thread I read here, the only diff between the GT-i9100 and GT-i9100T is the SAR value. The GT-i9100T has a lower SAR value, which, if I am not wrong, means that it is less harmful to humans
Apart from that, the hardware is identical between the GT-i9100 and GT-i9100T. I have been using the previous version ROM now for 2 days and so far so good ;-)
I would like to know if its same to flash GT-I9505 onto SGH-I337M?
I dont want to brick it!
Thanks in advance

First use Motochopper to root so you can use Titanium Backup to freeze the bloat (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252248 this one will work).
Then you can install Goomananger so you can install TWRP (menu=>install open recovery): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager
Finally, if you're feeling brave, you can do a backup of your phone first then try installing CyanogenMod: http://get.cm/?device=jfltecan
The Canadian model is jfltecan. Remember to install GAPPS (http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip)
I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE.

unfortunately there is no firmware for (M) variant on the net. There is AT&T (USA) firmware, but for I337,
any way try to wipe cache via recovery.

Whats strange about it is the fact that right away, it had lag. I will try wiping the cache and will let you know.
I had an error when I tried wiping the cache.
Should I install a custom recovery as suggested earlier?

Someone else tried already. Apparently it will run. but without a Canadian modem to flash, there will be no network signal or wifi working.
When we have a modem to flash we should be OK.

Its SLIGHTLY better after clearing the cache via TWRP, but still lots of lag. Dont get it, from such a fast phone, there shouldnt be ANY lag! My Nexus 4 was SOO much smoother and faster (yet clearly not in benchmarks)

I too have an SGH-i337M (TELUS). Did you do the official update to build I337MVLUAMDJ? I had originally bought my phone on the unfinished I337MVLUAMDC and when I did the update a lot of the lag went away. However, I still had to freeze a lot of unwanted apps though settings > app manager, however I did come across a list of apps that were safe to remove/disable on the S3 (Some, not all are also found on the S4). You can see the list HERE.
Hopefully we'll see a list like this for the S4 soon.
[EDIT]
Also to note, I also came from a Nexus 4 and can definitely feel the difference as well, but the Nexus also didn't have bloatware running.

Mine came with the official build I337MVLUAMDJ and it was laggy as hell!
After rooting and removing lots of bloatware, it was still slow.
What cured my lag, was downloading the stock Firmware from Kies (and saving the file from temp folder, instead of using kies for the restore) and flashed it with odin. After restoring my backup from MyBackup Pro, its fast!
Why should we need to do all this work for a brand new phone. Good job Samsumg lol

Oh cool, I guess that works too lol. I managed to fix a majority of my lag after running a recovery script called "PalaTool" which was originally released for the Galaxy S III. The tool was designed to remove bloatware and allowed you to install optional UI changes and apps that could optimize things like Fast Dormancy, etc. Running the tool unfortunately doesn't remove the bloat, but it did with the Seeder Entropy Pool.
I've flashed many different ROMs over the years and never had issues but I was curious as to whether the different modem in another variant would cause issues with LTE?
The G900I I have has it's dock locked so can't change anything and the always on voice (Hi Galaxy from sleep) doesn't work. These 2 issues seem common with the G900I. Here in Australia our LTE bands seem different to most other countries so I need to know if I screw with the baseband etc, will I have issues with network speed?
Thanks
I have the G900I and here's what I did to get around the locked dock.
Root the rom using cf-root and modify the following.
Open the /system/csc/others.xml file and change TRUE to FALSE on the following line:
<CscFeature_Launcher_ReplaceHotseatAreaInEditMode>TRUE</CscFeature_Launcher_ReplaceHotseatAreaInEditMode>
And while your at it, to enable gallery auto rotate after root, do the following in the same others.xml file
"<CscFeature_Gallery_AddAutoRotationIcon>TRUE</CscFeature_Gallery_AddAutoRotationIcon>" and change TRUE to FALSE.
Save your changes, reboot
As for using another rom, I'd wait until development is churning out lots of rom variations.

Hmmm interesting... What about the lockscreen camera?
I'm about to flash the Taiwanese firmware to my Telstra Galaxy - it is a G900I however it has all the features unlocked.
For the time being I've just gone the easy way and installed Google Now launcher and Cover lock screen replacement. Good thing about cover is that I turn the phone to landscape and the camera shortcut appears. Nice addition.
Still doesn't get me the always on voice activation tho. The main reason I went with the S5 is because the Moto X was only released with 16GB and no SD.
antigravity - im not sure bout the camera but as far as using the taiwanese firmware let us know how you go. The OP had a good point in that other countries use different LTE bands so it may or may not work. Either way let us know..

Just a heads up op I tried to flash a 900f firmware (uk btu) and it failed straight away possible from a locked bootloader on the aussie phones. So that doesnt help but if you edit the replace hotseat string to false you can move the dock icons to whatever you like. I would also like to know if the taiwanese firmware would work on our 900i's. Hope this helps

Taiwanese firmware works perfectly well on an Australian 900I.
Doesn't have download booster or Paypal fingerprint, but I wouldn't use those features anyway.
Will probably end up loading a custom ROM at some stage, but so far, the Taiwanese firmware works great. No noticeable difference with 3G/4G on the Telstra network.

That's sucks. I don't understand why they lock features to certain countries. Firmware should be the same across the board, only modems should change for different carriers.

Hi Guys,
I would like to know if it's possible to flash a international rom into the Note 4 USA Tmobile ?, I would have a phone whitout garbage Tmobile
do you know this is possible to make that ?
Thank you
I will have a ViSiON-X International rom done this weekend, I will post it in the tmo note4 forum when it is ready. Answer is, yes.
The vision X is a no samsung room ? because I would like stay on the samsung room for the update lollipop
I could be wrong but I thought three US had Snapdragon and international was Exynos. In which case it's probably not a good idea to try
No, do NOT flash an international ROM on your T-Mobile Note 4. Only flash firmwares meant for your device model.

Can't you disable the apps you do not want?
Go to Settings > Application Manager, then scroll all the way right to the ALL tab.
Find the applications you do not want and press on each of them. There may be a Disable button.
If you disable an app, it stops running on your phone, you can't see it in your app drawer, it's the next best thing to uninstalling. People have reported success in debloating with this method, see here.
If that is not enough, you can root and uninstall those apps with, for example, Titanium Backup.
Thank you for your answer

Also few functions on side panel does not work properly.
Check screenshot in attachments, there are software informations.
Do I have official ROM ?
Or what can be problem? Is TouchWiz (or Samsung experience) so unstable? Or is it just my unique case?

Thank you. So all I have to do is install the newest firmware via odin, right ?:fingers-crossed:
/And one more question. Model SM-G935FD does not have Firmware for my country. I know it is designed for Southeast Asia and India, but .. May it cause any problems for me ? Like worse GPS locking or something. I dont think so, just want to make sure
The rom you have on the phone is for the G935F or Not G935FD version.
try installing an dual rom version instead of single rom version that may solve your problem. The G935F version will work but some apps may not work properly.
So I checked everything (BL,AP,CP,CSC) but UMS and started instalation.
/everything looks good, but I will let you know later after some using

That isn´t true my friend. I had ROM for my dual sim version (G935FD), but it was marshmallow ROM. I don´t know how it´s possible, when It was showing Android 7.0. in software informations.

Everything works now !
