Great!!! It work. Thanks man.

Should ask Maxis for an official software that effectively calculate data usage.

Any bulk order?

Firstly, to uncle benny and rawat (from XDA) many thanks for the EFS backup and restore guides.

Anyhows, I'm back from the dead, pure terminal typing, no computer needed.

Crazy EFS wipe it was, no idea how it happened also, except I wiped batt stats right before it happened.

Now need to reflash everything back lol, as out of sheer desperation I rolled back to a previous, really old NAND backup running VR1.4. Lol.

Also, out of the same sheer desperation (and the fact I had NO decent back up phones AT ALL), I bought myself a nice 1 month old second hand Avaxx Nokia E6 lol.

It's a nice phone (SQ's better then our SGS2, and going back to a hw keyboard was nice too), but it's no replacement for my beloved Siie-Tan. Returning to Symbian (even though it's Anna), a single core 625mhz proc and 256mb RAM was like driving an Inspira around while your beloved M3 is being serviced.

I guess it's true, Symbian HAS fallen THAT far behind.

Good time to run up to VR 2.4.2 too lol, after putting it off for so long. Wipe wipe wipe.

S2 seem to behave differently from HTC. There is still an option to render the text when zoom but only works if you double tap to zoom. It appear there is only one setting for zooming. Pinch to zoom dont seem to work.

Wah wipe batt stat can hilang EFS file. Now that is scary..

just sharing...

anandtech's review of the international sgs2.

very interesting read...


whoa... now no more reason for me not to use stock browser -- my issue earlier one was no way to change agent string.

some other interesting bits from the review:







this probably explains why some units for pink spots...





and a lot more...

Hi bro, Minoxidil you restored it with KTool?
Imei gone means no sim card detected, but you still can run KTool?

Just choose the EFS.img file you backup earlier and restore it?

NSo im planning to update myself to android 2.3.4 stock rom, so all i need to do is:
Download the firmware files through here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

Dowload the kh3 one, put phone in download mode, then flash through odin right? For that version, the website didnt say anything abt when flashing it will lose data, so once i flash it, all my apps,data,homescreens and widgets will all remain? Just like that i assume? I wont have any extra probs like battery issues and everything right?

One more question, do i need to backup my IMEI folder?

I know i asked quite alot of questions, its just that i like confirmation b4 i do it, to prevent messing up.

just be patient and Sun U will bring in this battery.

It's not Imei folder, and just a EFS.img file.
I just backup it yesterday with KTool (page 1 post6)

What is the best modem for our SGS2 in Malaysia? KF, KG or KH Series?

From the look of it, it is not a wipe rom. But since your going to a different rom base i recommend wiping and flash. But its up to you. Just remember to backup contacts, messages and apps+data just in case.

And yes better backup your EFS first. Takes just a few seconds.

I also want this extended battery + case...

Wiping=factory reset? So if i backup with titanium backup, then it did infact wipe, i can still restore everything?

One more thing, is it normal for the battery to drop from full to 65% after 20 minutes of games,30 minutes of 3g web browsing and 30 minutes of wifi web browsing? Straight usage.

I backed up using a terminal script, and restored from a tarball (efs-backup.tar.gz) from terminal as well, no app involved.

If u wanna backup using TB , dont suggest u restore or even backup anything else beside your user app coz u r going from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 right ? Restoring system data might give u problems

hmmm... what type of problems?

Last night I install Samsung Mobile Catalog via Samsung Apps, but it prompt for 4 digit password, What is the password?

And I saw some people can update fb status via Samsung Mobile, how to do that? is that a widget?
