still no 2.3.4 for this monster aih

even SGS1 got it 2 months ago

so whats new in the latest update?

How do I backup my phone IMEI in case it gets missing, gets corrupted during flash process ? And how do I restore it

Check to see if your IMEI number is still intact by dialling *#06#
efs doesn't get backed up or restored by nandroid

This is a quick summary based on the XDA discussion

Why the /efs folder?
This is a very sensitive system folder that contains Phone-specific information such as the IMEI (encrypted in the nv_data.bin), wireless devices MAC addresses, product code (also in the nv_data.bin), and much more. Often users trying to change product codes or trying to unlock the mobile will end up corrupting data in this location.

Why back it up?
Well, let’s resume it saying that backing-up this little folder will keep you away from Samsung service centres.

Easiest : Use HellCatDroid tool - just download and install kTool.apk file. Launch the app and select your choice : http://f.lui.li/get_99_f13d.html

Through TERMINAL commands
What you will need:
Rooted SGS II to get permissions as a SU (Super User) and perform the backup
Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich (available from the market) <-Terminal Emulator or use ADB which is included in the SDK Development Tools

The standard prompt of terminal (adb) is a $ sign. Once you enter “SU” it will become a # Sign.

***NOTE: Make sure to keep an eye on the screen of your SGS II during this process, because it may request SU permissions [currently doesn't on CF-root]; else, you will get an error (just if it’s the first time). In Terminal Emulator you will need to reset the app after granting permissions cause it usually freezes***

*Remember: to use ADB you need to enable USB DEBUGGING under Applications/Development in your SGS II.

su
mkdir /sdcard/efs
busybox tar zcvf /sdcard/efs/efs-backup.tar.gz /efs
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 > /sdcard/efs/efs_dev-block-mmcblk0p1.img

Close terminal emulator, then transfer to your pc.

RESTORING : Restoring efs backup (It helped when the phone is not working and imei is blank):
put your efs-backup.tar.gz in sdcard then in adb shell

su
umount /efs
mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /efs
busybox tar zxvf /sdcard/efs-backup.tar.gz -C /

Any good flip cases for SGSII?

Seems that there's no real recommendations for the cover accessories available, and it's more a mixed bag of what you prefer.

Google for XENUS, ARGOS - these are top quality genuine leather cases from Korea . Some guys selling it in garage sales mobilephone ( just search SGS II cases ) or you can buy from ebay. Average price RM 120-140

Example , mine I bought online for US$ 44: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?V...em=150605091894
Same/similar item also in garage sales lowyat

dun scare. even if u din c it, double tap ur home key den... tadang!!! the annoying thing pops out

i kept losing my connection to the phone after i did the backup. quite stupid la kies.

still 2.3.3 after KH2 update...

if i root wif the cf-root + cwm, why do i still need to rooting wif superoneclick after cf-root is done? considering if it purposed to fix the yellow triangle by flash the stock kernel using superoneclick, but i can do it with odin just the same when i flash the cf-kernel rite?

strange its disconnected but still upgrading. still 2.3.3 silly i tell u.

Nope Cf root will root your phone.

not committed lor. just so damn frustrated why can't get the darn thing to update.

Mine also like that. Around 70% i think (didn't wait infront of PC that time) suddenly finished and went to updating mode :/ Normal I guess

Dear members, in order to install Papago ,we need micro sd card in phone is it?

What is the most suitable class of memory card for s II?

Thank you.

No , the NaviSea folder for your PAPAGO must be in your internal sd , not external sd

No need..only use internal memory..
Of course Class 10
