Odin: How to Upgrade Samsung Galaxy 551 I5510 to Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread Firmware I5510XWKPH

2012-02-01T12:07:00.000-08:00

Here's the detailed guide on how to update and upgrade your Samsung Galaxy 551 I5510 to latest Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread firmware this year 2012. Yes! this device got a new firmware update and it's still alive!
The newest firmware build is I5510XWKPH newer than previous build I5510XWKPA, I5510POKP8 and I5510XWKPG. This firmware is was spotted on Kies to be officially released in Hungary and Czech Republic.

Note: This firmware is only compatible and flashable with Europe and Asia version of Galaxy 551 GT-I5510. Other versions like Galaxy 551 GT-I5510M and GT-I5510L in North and South America cannot use this ROM for it has a different Baseband Radio build. So don't ever try attempting to install this other than GT-I5510 instead find any custom ROMs that supports for your devices for there is no Gingerbread firmware updates so far in these areas.

Disclaimer: Droidangel shall not be held responsible if anything happens to your device by following this guide.You at your own risk. Flashing firmwares is for advance users only. This is a bit risky for beginners.

How to install I5510XWKPH stock ROM on Samsung Galaxy 551 GT-I5510 and upgrade it to Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread.

Before you proceed always back-up all important data stored from the device. We are flashing firmware here, so it is better to be prepared better than sorry if something went wrong.
Ensure that the battery is fully charge, I fully recommend fully charge batteries, I already encountered a weak battery that shows 80% power but it suddenly shut downs, for it is already weak. So, make sure that your battery is completely 100% working. Power failure while flashing will brick your device in no time.
Use a PC/laptop runs in windows OS, make sure that the USB port is working.

Grab these files you'll need for flashing
Odin 4.42 (this version flash smoothly for it has an enhance mode support)
CALLISTO_v1.0.ops (This is the default OPS file for Galaxy I5510 that tells Odin you are going to flash the right device.
Driver (only needed if you haven't installed Kies on your PC)

T679MUGKK1 Samsung Galaxy W SGH-T679M Bell Canada Android 2.3.5 Stock ROM

2012-01-23T06:21:00.002-08:00

The stock ROM T679MUGKK1 is the Original Operating System of branded Samsung Galaxy W SGH-T679M by carrier Bell Mobility in Canada. This smartphone source released by Samsung has kernel and system differences, but the hardware specs are pretty much identical to the international version of Samsung Galaxy W GT-I8150 and the Samsung Exhibit II 4G SGH-T679 by T-Mobile in USA but it uses a different firmware because it is branded exclusively by Bell Mobility Canada.

I got this info with AnTuTu, so I figured out that this is an Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread firmware version.
GT-I8150 Board
ARMv7 Processor (VFPv3,NEON)
122.88 ~ 1024.0 Mhz
480x800
GPU - Qualcomm Adreno (TM) 205
OpenGL ES-CM 1.1
Android 2.3.5
GINGERBREAD.UGKK1
Linux version 2.6.35.7-perf-T679MUGKK1-CL677250 (se.infra@SEP-73) (gcc version 4.4.0 (GCC)) #3

This stock ROM is useful for returning back the device into original factory default firmware setting, just in-case in need of warranty back purposes after installing any unofficial ROM, rooting and also useful to fix softbrick. Just use the ROM carefully, you at your own.

How to Flash and Install stock ROM on Samsung Galaxy W (Wonder) I8150 using Odin

2012-01-21T12:13:00.000-08:00

This is a step by step guide on how to flash the Samsung Galaxy W GT-I8150 stock ROMs. This method is by way using Odin downloader tool instead of Kies which is useful in downgrading, upgrading and reverting your device back to original stock or official firmware. We included some pictures for some very important steps just for newbies to see of what this process is all about.

DISCLAIMER: DroidAngel team take no responsibility for anything that may happen to your device by following this guide. This method shall not be taken slightly for it will harm your device, if something went wrong. So, proceed at your own risk.

Downgrading and Upgrading Process
This method is just like updating your device via Kies that is installed on your computer, the only best thing with this is that you can also use other region firmware to upgrade your device in advance without waiting any firmware updates released on Kies. This includes leaks, and other unofficial or custom ROM develops by developers.

Reverting back to Official Stock
This process will return your Samsung Galaxy W I8150 to original factory default firmware or official firmware released by Samsung via Kies or OTA (over the air) updates. This is very useful if you want to 'Undo" modding of your device before selling it and or returning it back to your service provider for warranty purposes.

Fix soft bricked
If you your device suffered soft-bricked during firmware updates on Kies and your device just stuck on welcome screen and can't get into normal booting. So before you want to send it to your service center you first give it a shot and fix it by yourself.

Things you should do before flashing (for safety purposes)
Flashing the phones software is not safe, even if you use Kies, if anything went wrong like power failure or any interruption might result into serious issues and harms your device. So proceed with extra precaution before proceeding.

- Back up all important datas and files stored on your device.
Contacts, messages, medias etc. (use Google sync) for it will be all wipe out during this process.
You can use any back up application you have on your phone then keep it in a safe place in your computer.
- Ensure that the battery is fully charge ( this will save you from any bricks might occurred if the power lose)
- Odin only works on Windows OS, any other OS like Mac and Linux will not work.
- Make sure you computer/laptop USB ports is still up and working perfectly.

Grab the files needed for flashing
So, if you are way up go and ready to have some tweaks of your device, grab the following necessary tools for this procedure.

* Odin Multi Downloader v4.43_with_smd0425 download. (the best one is v4.44_with_smd0425 but not available for now)
* Stock ROMs for Samsung Galaxy W GT-I8150 (choose the right firmware that match with your device product code or via CSC file)
* Samsung driver download ( you need the phone driver if you don't have Kies previously installed on your PC.
* OPS file - Ancora.ops download ( this is the default OPS file of the Galaxy W, which always needed to let Odin figure out that your going to flash the Galaxy W I8150 phone.
- Extract the stock ROM, Odin and OPS after downloading (use updated winrar or 7zip)

Odin Flashing procedure on how to install Stock ROM on Samsung Galaxy W (Wonder) GT-I8150

1. Run Odin Multi Downloader v4.43_with_smd0425 on your desktop.

2. Load the OPS file - click on Ops button then select and load the Ancora.ops.
Always mark these option: Protect OPS, Auto-Reboot and F-Reset time.

3. Load md5 files on its designated space.

One Package - This comes with a single packed tar file with the SS_DL.dll on it. (the dll is not to be use)
It already contains the PDA, Phone Modem and CSC in a single file only.
Just click on the 'One Package checkbox' then click on the 'One package button' then load and select your single packed stock ROM. Like for this one flashing with a Europe stock ROM.

One Packaged: I8150XXKK1_I8150OXXKJ6_I8150XXKK1_HOME.tar.md5

Multiple Package - This comes with individual files Bootloader, PDA, Phone modem and CSC file.
This packaged is good for fixing soft brick and returning your device into original stock for it has a full and complete firmware files.
So after loading the ops file, you need to load the specific md5 files on each designated spaces. Browse to where you extracted your ROM select it. If you cant find it you didn't extract it. Like this one below using an ASIA stock ROM.

OPS– Ancora.ops.

Boot – APBOOT_I8150ZSKI3_CL613004_REV00_user_low_ship_EMMC.tar.md5.

Phone– SMD_MODEM_I8150ZSKI3_CL613004_REV00_user_low_ship_EMMC.smd.md5.

PDA – SMD_PDA_I8150ZSKI3_CL613004_REV00_user_low_ship_EMMC.smd.md5.

CSC– SMD_CSC_GT-I8150-MULTI-CSC-OZSKI3_EMMC.smd.md5

4. Set the the Galaxy W I8150 into "Download Mode" - Before connecting the device to PC USB you need to put it into download mode state, so that Odin will recognize it. To set the device into download mode, turn the 'POWER OFF' then gently press and hold the ( Volume Down, Home and Power Button ) at the same time.
Then there's confirmation message appears like the picture below, then just press "Volume Up to continue".

If struggling into download mode, this is a little bit tricky sometime. Try to remove the battery for a while then put it back again, then try the button combination again. (If your device was bricked and can't get into download mode by button, buy or build a download mode Jig)

5. Connect the Phone to PC or laptop - Once the device already displays "Downloading... Do Not Turn Off Target", it's now time to connect it to PC. In Odin the COM: Mapping box will turn to color yellow and it says "added! or detected!!" in the log box when the device is properly connected and Odin recognized the phone.

(If still struggling for the connection set up, do this: re-install driver, check and try using another good USB cable wire and PC.)

6. Click the "START" button - Once all of the above was set and went smoothly begin flashing.
Wait until the firmware installation finishes. You will be notified with a word "PASS!" in Odin if the Flashing process successfully completes. Let the phone reboot for a while, then it's time to unplug it from PC.

If the flashing fails don't panic. Switch to a different port of your PC and then repeat the process again.

7. Do full reset to get a clean and fresh firmware installed and wipe all unnecessary files.
Confirming the newly installed firmware *#1234#. Full reset *2767*3855# or via recovery mode below:

Samsung Galaxy W I8150 Recovery Mode:
Press and Hold Volume Up, Power and Home button together. Then toggle on 'Wipe Data/Factory Reset' and then 'Reboot system now'.

Is my nexus s (i9023) in a known state?

With UnBrickable Resurrector you can get both download and recovery mode depending on what hardkey you press (both vol or only vol up) during resurrection.
You are in download mode if search and home softkeys are on
You are in recovery mode if back and menu softkeys are on
You can try the way of recovery mode (with fastboot), for me (i9023) fastboot did not recognize the device.

Download mode solution
After resurrection you'll get a nice download mode (search and home button on and others off, not viceversa).
Now run a virtualized windows (or restart your pc if you have dualboot) and use odin to restore your device (bootloader radio system) to a stock rom like 2.3.3.
Why a virutalized windows or dual boot? Cause if you unplug the device you lose download mode.

Odin Flashing Procedure for Galaxy Note GT-N7000
1)Extract the downloaded firmware or stock ROM

2) Run Odin Downloader v1.85 program.

3) Load the binary files to its designated slots.
A. Single file only - This firmware comes in a single packed mostly on recent updates that is fulled from official Samsung Kies firmware server. The PDA,MODEM and CSC file are in one single packaged.
Once you extracted this file, you''ll find a .tar.md5 file extension to it.
ex. N7000XXKJ4_N7000OXXKJ4_N7000XXKJ4_HOME.tar.md5

Just load the file on the PDA slot. Just click on the PDA button then select and load it.

DO NOT check 'Repartition' because there is no PIT file is loaded. This is safe for upgrade and downgrade only when the device is currently running the official firmware.
Check these: Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time checkboxes.

B. Multiple files without Pit- These goes with individual PDA, MODEM and CSC files
*Click on the PDA button then select and load a file with:

C) Multiple files with Pit included - This is a full flashing method, this is only advisable and useful for reverting back to original firmware when previously installed unofficial ROM or to fix softbricked devices like unable to boot normally. (I am using this method in my shop to fix bricked devices. Be aware that hard bricked or such already dead boot jammed devices cannot be recovered by Odin, I'm using a JTAG force flashing with another tool) So, don't ever messed your device for its hard to recover it)

The same as the multiple file step above but this time you need to load the pit file.
Click the Pit button and load the Q1-20110914_16GB.pit then the PDA, MODEM and CSC files. If the bootloader file is also included load it on the BOOTLOADER button.

Manual installation using P1010XXKPG stock ROM to upgrade Samsung Galaxy Tab Wifi Only GT-P1010 to Gingerbread.

- To make your flashing goes smoothly you firstly need to have your device installed with P1010 Clockwork MOD recovery on it.. Big thanks to Skin1980 for getting us out to worry about bricking our Galaxy P1010 Tablets again. Install that CWM to get rid of brick.
- Back up all of important files or data stored from your device. You can perform a nandroid back up after you mount the CWM on it.
- Perform wiped data and cache from recovery.
- Make sure that the battery is fully charge or at least above 50%.
- Use PC/laptop runs on Windows XP or later OS.
- Install Kies on your PC to have the needed driver for your P1010 Tabs.
- A supplied USB cable for your Tab.

Grab the needed files:
- Stock ROM P1010XXKPG_P1010XEUKPG
- The Pit File P1wifi_20110128_r10_00.pit
- Odin downloader tool Odin3 v1.85.

1. Extract the downloaded P1010XXKPG stock ROM
2. Run Odin on your PC desktop.

- Then the PDA button and load the P1010XXKPG_P1010XEUKPG_HOME.tar.md5
DO NOT CHECK THE RE-PARTITION checkbox. Only the Auto-Reboot and F.Reset Time got on it.

3. Prepare your Galaxy Tab P1010 into download mode and then connect to PC.
- Turn Off your tablet or Remove the battery for a while then put it back again. Press and hold the POWER and VOLUME Down buttons while the phone is OFF.
- Then connect the device to PC when it displays a triangle with an Android robot digging with a shovel and word says "Downloading - do not turn off Target", Odin will indicate a word 'added' on the log screen and the ID:COM box will turn to yellow color.

4. Hit the 'Start' button to begin flashing.

DO NOT TOUCH the tablet while flashing still in progress, let the flashing completely finishes. It only takes just around 4 to 5 minutes - depends of your PC speed. A word "PASS" will display in ODIN once it
successfully completes. And then after it reboots you will then have the Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread firmware upgrade on your Galaxy Tab P1010

Odin Guide on How to Flash and Install stock ROM Firmware on Samsung Galaxy Y S5360

2011-12-23T12:07:00.003-08:00

How to use Odin in flashing the stock ROM on Samsung Galaxy Y S5360?

Here's the procedure on how to manually install the stock ROM (firmware) on Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360. Flashing stock ROMs is useful in downgrading or upgrading to any available firmware versions you desired. This has been also useful for unbricking purposes for a bricked, reverting back to original stock or if you needed your device warranty back.

This guide is a bit risky for beginners and can only be used by advance users who already had an experience on how to tweak android devices firmware.
Now, this procedure is no joke and should be taken seriously for it might results to damage your phone if some mistakes might happen. We are talking about firmware flashing here, one false move or any interruption will take your device into serious situation that is not too easy to recover.Your phone is not a toy for us, but it is your personal property, you are the only one who can decide on what to do about it.

Disclaimer: We shall not be held responsible if anything happens to your device by following this guide. Proceed at your own risk!

Needed files and tools
Stock ROM - See list of Samsung Galaxy Y S5360 stock ROMs below (extract the file after downloading)
Odin Multi-downloader - Odin3_v1.84
PIT file - totoro_0623.pit
Driver - You need to install Kies or get the driver of your phone if you have no Kies previously installed.
USB cable - use the supplied USB cable of your Galaxy Y. (Odin will not work in Mac and Linux OS).
PC or laptop - running on Windows or later OS.
Your Phone - Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360

Preparation before Flashing
Back-up all of your important data stored in the phone like contacts, messages and etc. Flashing will wipe and delete all of it.
Ensure that your phone is fully charge or above 80% charge. (If your phone had an auto-shutdown history, and its too old, use a newer or good working battery.
Remove the SIM card and the external memory card. (not necessarily but recommended to avoid any certain issues)
Disable and Close Antivirus, Kies and any running software windows.
Hard Reset - We often do hard reset before flashing to clean the memory cache of the phone. Master reset code *2767*3855# .

ODIN Flashing Procedures for Samsung S5360 Galaxy Y
1. Run the ODIN Downloader v1.84 on your PC desktop.
2. Load the firmware binary files on each designated button spaces.

How to Flash with Multiples files with Pit, Bootloader, PDA, PHONE/MODEM and CSC file
This is full flashing and useful for unbricking for it has a full packaged with individual file allocations, this type of files we often used to fix a bricked Samsung Android devices. Some firmware updates have like this one and some are came into just a single file packaged.

Click on each button and load the appropiate file unto it.
Pit Button - select and load the totoro_0623.pit

Bootloader - look for the file with the word Boot,
like DefaultCalDataWithBoot_S5360XXXXX_REV05.tar.md5

PDA button - look for the file with the letters PDA or CODE on it,
like PDA_S5360XXXXX_REV05.tar.md5

PHONE button- look with the word MODEM file,
like MODEM_S5360XXXXX_REV05.tar.md5

CSC button - associated also with letters CSC or Multi_CSC,
like GT-S5360-MULTI-CSC-OXXXXX.tar.md5

There are three checkboxes on the left side of ODIN, the Re-Partition, Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time.
The Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time are often always checked in flashing while the Re-Partition will only be checked if you want to fix the memory partition of the phone, now if you'll only want to upgrade or downgrade DO NOT CHECK THE REPARTITION.

DO NOT CHECK RE-PARTITION - Safety for Upgrade and Downgrade

Full Flashing with RE-PARTITION enabled - Advisable only for fixing Soft bricked devices

How to Flash with Only a Single file.
Some files came only in a single packed like with tar.md5 file extension., and a 'SS_DL.dll' file also included on it. Others are confused where to put this file. Well, the S5360XXXXX_S5360XXXXX_S5360XXXXX_HOME.tar.md5 goes to the PDA button section while the 'DLL' file in not to be used but don't delete it, a dll file means a driver.
Again the "Repartition" check-box is not to be tick, only the Auto-Reboot and F.Reset Time are checked.

Note: One packaged file will not tend to work with available Odin version for now but the complete packaged will work. For those who are looking on how to revert back your devices back to official stock or fixes softbricks and bootloops you can use this following bundled stock ROM packaged below.

Setting up the Samsung Galaxy Y into Download Mode and Connecting to PC.
You need to set the device into download mode in order to let Odin recognize it. To set into download mode
Turn OFF the phone, then hold and press the three buttons Volume Down + Home + Power Key simultaneously. If you'll still not get into download mode, remove the battery a couple of seconds then put it back again and then press the download mode button combination again.

Once the phone displays the Android robot and says "Downloading..." Connect the phone to PC with the supplied USB cable. Odin will automatically recognize it if it's properly connected, the ID:COM mapping will highlight to color yellow and says "added" on the log box.

Start Flashing
Hit the "Start" Button when all are set perfectly to begin flashing.

CAUTION: Avoid touching the phone while the flashing already started, any interruption will result into serious issues like soft-brick or hard-brick.

Let the flashing completes, a progress bar displays until the firmware downloading process finishes. It only takes around 3 to 5 minutes, depends of your PC speed.
When a word "PASS" appears, it means that the flashing is successful. The phone will then reboot and after completely rebooted it is then safe to remove it from computer's connection.

Do a hard reset again by the code *2767*3855# or in recovery mode hold and press Volume UP+Home+Power key. Navigate to the Wipe Data cache/Factory Reset.
Some other tweaks:
1) To check your recent firmware info *#1234#
2) CSC configuration - IMEI number check [*#06#]
3) *#272*[IMEInumber]#
4) Choose sales code

Battery enhancements
Wi-Fi calling enhancements

Here's the freshest news from T-Mobile support site.

Good news everyone. A software update has already been released to activate Wi-Fi calling on the HTC Amaze, and beginning today, a software update is coming out that will do the same for the Samsung Galaxy S II. Both updates are being done as an over-the-air update, meaning that you will receive a message on your phone telling you that an update is available, once it is pushed to your device.

For the Amaze, you can manually update the software manually. I have done this and I find that the Wi-Fi calling experience is actually better than it was with my MyTouch 4G.

Unfortunately, a manual update is not available for the Galaxy S II, so please be patient and you should receive your update soon.

Some advance users already managed to upgrade using the T989VUVKL1 stock ROM found out and confirmed that the wifi calling and battery stuck issues are indeed already fixed.

I9250XXKK5 Volume Bug Fix Firmware Update for Samsung Galaxy Nexus I9250

2011-11-26T10:50:00.001-08:00

Okay, we just got a tweet from samfirmware that the firmware update with build number I9250XXKK5 believe to be release and can fix the volume bug issue of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus I9250. The firmware is not available yet online but we all just hope that it's for real and will arrive sooner via Kies server or OTA(over the air).

via samfirmware tweets.

The volume control bug issues is now much wider known among from those users who already purchased the Galaxy Nexus. According to Samsung engineers, as well as a Google employee that the problem was confirmed to be a hardware flaw . But both state that it is common for this type of hardware flaw to be patched with software and it is likely that many devices you already own have such patches in place without you knowing it.

# The device has an issue of volume acting strangely. Most often the volume mutes very quickly. Sometimes the volume starts 'jumping' between muted and loud very quickly.
# This volume issue happens often during phone calls, using internet or receiving SMS text messages.
# Some users are also reporting that when calling, they can here 'radio interference' sounds.
# The device is often unresponsive while the problem happens.
# A detailed article about the issue and a video that demonstrates the issue has been posted on CNET.

Read along the rest of the story by kristovaher thread at XDA-developer.

We will update this post if this said I9250XXKK5 firmware build is true and will be available later.

According to CM7 team:

For those of you who are going to sit and wonder if your device will make the cut, here are two general requirements that must be satisfied:

1) Phone must have more than 256mb RAM
2) Phone must contain a decent gpu

Now, if your phone doesnt meet those, its not to say you will never get ICS; but it does mean your device will not be one of the first with CM9 (and your wait will likely be much much longer, if ever)

So far, some of the below HTC Android devices got no ICS ports cooking.

Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570L Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread Firmware Update released

2011-11-23T10:25:00.003-08:00

Latin America version of Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570L gets the first Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread firmware update and now officially released via Kies. The firmware build number is S5570LWMKPJ with an October 18,2011 build date. European users may wait for a while since its been a while that all firmware updates for Galaxy Mini most often released firstly in Europe, but this time it goes to Latin America first.

XDA-developer member alvarorojas4 from Bogotá Colombia confirmed that this version is much more faster than previous 2.3.4 and 2.3.5.

Today I tried to update via OTA (Over the air. In the System Updates menu) and for my surprise it said that I can update my firmware so, I updated and Now i'm in 2.3.6 there are a few small changes, for example at the final of the scroll will appear a blue light, AGAIN is faster how in 2.3.4 (For me 2.3.5 was laggy) and I guess that more improvements...

The S5570LWMKPJ stock ROMs is also available online on XDA developer and can be flash using Odin tool. See the thread of przekret here to grab the said S5570LWMKPJ stock ROM. And now also added to our Galaxy Mini firmware update list.
If you prepare Odin or Kies just ensure to wipe data and cache in recovery of your mini to get the freshest firmware upgrade.

There are no report that this firmware update has been officially released by Samsung server but might be officially push out soon. It might been pulled out from Kies as a test mode or beta released for advance users and developers use only, (not confirmed yet). So just use or flash it at your own risk..

P7500XWKK4 Android 3.2 Honeycomb Firmware Update for Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G P7500 leaks

2011-11-22T09:23:00.001-08:00

The Android 3.2 Honeycomb firmware for Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G P7500 leaked. This is the first Android 3.2 firmware update for Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G that has been available online. The firmware build number is P7500XWKK4 with a build date as of November 11,2011. The stock ROm comes with a SEB CSC file which is for European versions of SGS Tab P7500 3G version. Some advance users already tried flashing this ROM and says it's a little bit faster than the previous P7500XXKI1 and P7500XXKI2..

Anyway, we spotted this ROM a while ago on Kies server but unfortunately being pulled out by Samsung with no reasons, the devs might be still working for progress. So, if you want to try it out, the Odin flashable stock ROM is now available, remember this is a leak version and maybe available officially released sooner.

CWM Flashing instruction (N7000XXKKA)
Make sure you have root on your device and CWM recovery in case of bootloops after flashing. The easiest way to get both is to grab the rooted kernel for your current firmware and flashing that. Everything is described in this thread

Steps:

1. [Optional but recommended] Boot into CWM recovery [VolumeUP+Home+Power] and do a nandroid backup
2. Download the desired firmware and unrar it to end up with a .tar.md5 file
You can grab the N7000XXKKA stock ROM at Sammobile GT-N7000 Firmwares.
3. Place this file in your external sd card in a folder called 'firmware'. You will have to create this folder. So the path would be external_sd/firmware/XXX.tar.md5
4. Launch the CWM app on your device. This will be present if you followed the step given above under the pre-requisite
5. In CWM, choose to flash stock rom. It will automatically pick up the firmware file you placed in the previous step. There will be a couple of popups just hit OK. The last popup with give you 3 options. Choose first one to keep the existing CF-root kernel. This way if something goes wrong during flash you will have Clockwork Recovery to restore the device
6. The phone installs the firmware and reboots. All your data and apps will be present. You have just flashed PDA and modem. As we skipped the kernel flash, we are still using the older kernel. Go again to the CF-Root kernel thread given in the pre-requisite section, and download/flash the rooted kernel for your latest firmware when available.

OTG- USB Enabled Kernel for T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

2011-11-15T05:56:00.000-08:00

A kernel comes with OTG (on the go) USB Host mode enabled that eventually let the T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989 connects to any USB accessories such as keyboard, mouse, joystick, USB flash drives and hard disk etc. This very impressive kernel was modified and developed by zedomax, a first of it's kind USB Host Enabled kernel for Galaxy S II SGH-T989.

Well, after about a week of compiling, I finally got a working kernel, this is my first kernel for the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 SGH-T989.
I present you, world's first OTG-enabled T-Mobile Galaxy S2!
The kernel comes with OTG USB Host mode enabled. It allows you to connect USB Flash drives, USB Hard disks (must be powered independently), USB Mouse, USB Keyboard, etc...etc..
That's about it for now since it took me a week to get a kernel working (the other ones have ended me in an infinite boot loop for a whole week, very frustrating.).

USB Enabled on SGS II Demo Video

So far the kernel only works for T-Mobile Galaxy S2 (SGH-T989) and doesn’t work yet for Telus version of Galaxy S2 but the developer might work it out in the near future. You can track down the progress of this said USB kernel on this thread here at XDA.
