do i need change it ?
2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF1-CL265340root@Dell106#2
huh die lo
change another version is what rom version or baseband or kernel?
i still new but i root with CF and , change rom follow guide
*
Your kernel is still based on KF1 while your firmware and baseband is both based on KG3 . If you have read Villian rom features , at the beginning he said, i quote : "When using this ROM, I suggest the XWKG3 CF-Root kernel " . So go and download and flash Chainfire KG3 kerenel
I always emphasized so many times, when one wants to falsh any rom, do READ and READ again the rom features and requirements

Download Chainfire CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG3-v4.1-CWM4.zip from his thread

Infact all the rom's n kernel I tested never have crash and hang issues
setcpu UV 100 across all speeds. OC up to 1.4 only
could be your apps issues.

Install the HongKong firmware ZSKG2 ( check intratech post of official firmwares at XDA) and you can have Chinese interface and of course Chinese input - few choices of Chinese types you can choose at Settings/Language

To change from GB 2.3.4 back to 2.3.3.
Just flash with ODIN only? I think I've tried it. But boot loop occur. Any help here?
Does anyone know any stock ROM from Samsung will have Chinese language support. I've tried Taiwan and HongKong. But can't see any Chinese input.
And yet, according to some of the HOngkies, they have built in HTC ChineseIME. Any idea why?
*
As said earlier, try the ZSKG2 - get it from XDA intratech thread on official firmware. I installed it for my friend 2 weeks ago as he wanted a Chinese interface
To eliminate bootloops , make sure you clear dalvik cache, cache partition before you flash. If after flash, still looping issue - switch off. Go back recovery mode - remove the caches plus clear data/factory reset

just a noob question, update from 2.0 to 2.3 i need to update use clockworkmod (volume up + home + power) or using cwm (app) flash update to do it?
*
What 2.0 and 2.3 are you referring to ?? There si no one simple correct answer
You update firmware either thro CWM or Odin, depend on the format of the firmware. If firmware ( in exe format or zip ) extracted into a TAR format - use Odin. If extracted and you see several folders eg data, system, meta-inf, zimage etc - use CWM

I'm new user of SGS2.
Switching from SGS. Just update to Frankenstein stock ROM 2.3.4.
Just wanna ask. Can I reflash back to stock 2.3.3?
About transferring my ex-data from froyo, I have backup with titanium.
So, shall I restore all apps with user data?
Will it work? Hope someone can help. Thanks.
*
Launch TitaniumBackup : Menu/Select batch/Restore missing apps with data . It will work across devices. DO NOT attempt to restore system apps/data as these are different devices

You can always anytime upgrade/downgrade roms

P/S: I am asking just based on curiosity, no flaming please.

Mr. Benny, u said once we started to root, the kernel version changed. But what happened if we flash it back to the XWKF1 pda/kernel which was the stock firmware? I did a screen capture before I root my device (setting>about phone). And I notice that after I did CFROOT, the kernel version isn't changed but I have got superuser and cwm working perfectly.

Besides, when I flash it back to the XWKF1 firmware, which I downloaded from samfirmware, I don't see any difference between the stock and the new XWKF1 (at setting>about phone). Does that mean I have got the stock firmware right on my phone?

I have search everywhere and i'm so confused. Care to explain for a bit?

Thanks in advance
*
Samfirmware firmware are official firmware. So it will be same as your stock

Since you posted my posts earlier on, you'd have noticed that this is an issue no need to worry too much about. Somehow someone create this phobia that phones root/flash warranty is void and ways/means is develop and use to "cheat" the service center by restoring back to stock rom. YES - officially warranty is void once phones rooted/flash. You go and ask the service center , 101 % they will tell you no more warranty. If you have this worry/phobia claiming warranty , just don't root and don't flash

Practically - depends on how you present your case and how the staff respond back. As my experience shows, I never has issue claiming warranty /services and is free every time, not one time. One time, people say is luck ; 5 times still luck ?? Honestly as I see it as long as you are honest and don't try to bluff your way, the service center guys are nice. I'd think they have more trouble/time pushing you away than accepting your request. My 3 occasions Galaxy S ( AP set bought in LowYat KL) but i send in to Spore Center. Galaxy S2 ( UK set ) also processed by Spore Center. Galaxy Tab ( AP set ) processed by KL Plaza Berjaya . All occasions these sets are rooted and flash with cook roms. In all 5 occasions I need not pay a single cent
I'd just say if one tries to bluff his way , most probably he will be charged for any work done

The technician has definitely a way to check even with your roms installed back to stock - we can only see what the manufacturer wishes us to see. I am pretty sure the phone has captured log files of processes done on the phone, these unseen by us. I was told most obvious is the kernel exact file details which we can't see. If you are tech savvy, you can even rename a cook rom firmware details according to the exact name you wish as a technique to cheat the service center

okay, now everything is clarified. Thanks benny. so its not that the kernel wont go back to stock after we root or flash, its just that there might be a log or kernel file details that are different.  thumbup.gif

benny, please wait for no.555 and add me can? if not, then i will ask afterward.

Bro - tonite I in good mood ; so I already allocate 555 to you in the list of users ; next one will be 554

BTW I just flash Litening 5.0 about half hour ago. Good about Litening, it will not wipe data. I install on top of XXKG6 ( speedmod kernel)
XXKG6 battery life is obviously the best so far for me - guessetimate a 20% improvement; hope Litening will improve it further

With litening 5.0: 7 hours overnight with 3g on and data refreshing every 30-60mins my mail, newsfeed n tweeter battery drop 10%. Very good compared to usually 20+ %
very obvious xxkg6 worthy upgrades if concerned about battery life. I see improvement too in stock xxkg6

Why don't you test yourself as different user different needs
I would say Batista n litening are reasonable good options for me
Never like villain but that is just me. Infact I discourage new users using it
Leomar never try as find it too fancy
