When will kf1 firmware arrive on kies? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know when kf1 will be on kies, any trends in past when these things are leaked to when it appears on kies?
Does it suggest the firmware is a beta version that its not available on kies yet?

so this thread is a question , not a statement. why did not you put a question mark after your title, or assigned a ? icon to this?

Not sure really buddy , worth having a look at the older threads to find out if you want to.
As for the question mark bit I'm sure everyone has asked a question in the past and not put a question mark by it or in the subject field at least once .

Thanks for your reply, appreciate it. As for the other two replies, bullied at school? Sorry...do you want me to post that as a question too?

Yes, common logic would lead one to assume that you saw this FW released on Kies, when in fact you're asking a question.
Please use common logic and put a "?" into the thread topic.

First of all you already put a question there, why ask? And secondly, the question mark is there incorrectly, that sentence of yours is actually a statement.
Lastly, the only person of school age here is obviously you, so your whole attack is baseless.
P.S. Do not bait people into clicking on your thread by creating a misleading or incorrect title. Please make the effort to read forum posting rules before you post.

As soon as I saw this thread I connected my phone to Kies without even opening it, when I didn't see an update, I opened it. Yes, questions have "?" marks, or [Q]s in front or something. It's just general forum decorum.

there is a Q and A section why do people use general forum so much for chit like this!

Use a little bit of common sense.
You are not being bullied, you are just being guided by those that are brighter than you.

Talk about over kill.
I think he's got the message ! I looked too on Kies but saw no point in flaming a new member . Could be tomorrows top developer just walking out the door !
As for the bullying yes this thread is getting that way isn't it !

useless thread im affraid, please refrain any future posts to the q&a topic if its a question you are looking for.

Sweet jesus, talk about jump on the bandwagon people! Thread title changed, anyone kind enough to answer my question now, rather than pointing out dribble about where to post and how to post it. Some people need to get out more!

From memory I think it was about a week but looking at the threads will give you a better idea

It will be on Kies when it's on Kies. A day, a week, never.

KIES path Samsung release stock firmware its then pasxed to the network/phone providers who test and add their customizations .Then once finished upload to Kies time scale between a week and six months .
Samsung stock firmware a few days after official release probably .
Update path depends upon your product code .
Unofficial release via samfirmware is not beta its full release.

If you are going to ask for a definitive date for a ROM posted on a non-Samsung website then expect some kickback.

SEARCH FIRST: BEFORE Posting a New Thread

So you have a question. We've all had them. In fact, many have had the exact same question you have right now. And most of those questions have already been answered. So please search for those answers before posting a new thread.
Now that the dust has settled with the unlocking, ICS leak, mainver and OTA, most likely there's already a guide written to deal with the exact same issue you want to ask about.
Not only will you get your answer more quickly, you will also keep from cluttering up the message board with yet another thread asking the same thing others have asked and have answered already.
Lately there has been a plethora of new threads asking basic questions that have been answered many times and definitely have guides already written and it gets increasingly frustrating to have to see these over and over again.
So please, search first. Research. Read. And then if you really can't find the answer post in an appropriate existing thead. If there really isn't one, then start a new thread.
Thank you and good night. You've been a great audience.
The worst offenders aren't gonna see this and post anyway. They won't even read stickies usually
Yeah, it's not like it's a brand new forum protocol. *sigh*
Well, I got it out of my system, now I can get on with my day.

Jeeze dude, I'm freakin sorry. I wish there was a way you could see my search history so I could prove to you that I had in fact searched for the mainver info before posting my thread, but I simply overlooked you're awesome thread that had exactly what I was interested in.
Honestly the best thing to do is to ignore them. Not post something they won't read
No offense but con is right
Hit thanks or ill hit you

Of course he is right.
Seriously, there had to be a bunch of people who have just purchased this phone recently. I'm sure the sale that Big Red is having isn't going to help things. I love that people are getting this phone because it's just amazing, but people do need to read everything before they just start posting questions. And they need to read everything before they start flashing crap on their phones. Just because you did it on one phone doesn't mean you'll know what you're doing on this one. Ou S-On, Dev Unlocked Rezound is a different beast altogether.

I came from a Droid X and before I picked up the rezound, figured all android devices were the same! Boy was I wrong This has been a learning curve but in time Ive learned a LOT from reading all of the threads in this forum.I've only had a single mainver error, which was easily remedied. Other than that, I've been a flashaholic for the last 2 weeks trying to find something that feels like home and I still havent bricked my phone . The guys/gals in this forum who post fixes and guides are all badass!

It's all good man.
The funny part is, I completely agree with you and this thread. I'm actually a little ashamed that I didn't find you're thread originally.
Really though, thanks to you and all the other devs that do all this hard work. I'd really like to be able to spend the time and learn how to do some of the Rom development, or theme dev'ing, or something to contribute. Not in the cards though with a busy job as a software support tech, and a 3 year old and another on the way at home. Time isn't on my side for hobbies like this. So, to get to the point - thanks a lot, much appreciated.
Its actually getting to the point that searching for stuff ends up a waste of time due to the clutter. You know how many threads have something to do with the mainver issue alone in General? Almost a hundred. That is insane. And some people wonder why others get grumpy when they don't use a search function. What would be awesome if we added extra code to the site and when the hit the Start Thread button, it asks them if they did a search.
It will show a list of other threads with the same words in the title, but they aren't just from the Rezound forums. But as con mentioned, the people who don't search aren't going to look at those either.

You mean like when there are about 9 different threads going at the same time to tell everybody that "Sense sucks" ???
the only problem is, if your browsing these forums via your rezound, search doesnt work properly. if you tap on the "search" button, once the pop up appears and you try to enter text, the pop up disappears and you cant search. it does that on both dolphin hd & opera. dont recall if ive tried on another browser.... but as it happens on more then 1, its not a problem from one particular browser.

Today is March 1 but where is ICS?

A lot of people on facebook are asking this question. Samsung's official page said that Official ICS will be available on the 1st march. Does any one know whether it will be released today or not?
You deserve a ban for making this thread.

Ok firstly that is not an official and i mean OFFICIAL facebook page of Samsung. Second Sammy has never said that they are going to release it today. They said Q1. So in fact that could still mean anytime today till end of March. So please before opening threads that are not necessary please do your reading before jumping the gun. And if you really want that ICS so bad go and flash the leaks with modifications in the Android section or use Foxhound or cm9. Thank you and goodnight.
And yes you do deserve a permanent ban for opening thread that is pure garbage and no one cares anymore.
Rant over and sorry for my language to everyone

because you are opening a thread that has nothing informative or actually anything useful or asking anything that values a reason to open a thread for..hence why you are getting all the negative posts from users. because this has been asked time and time again and people get the same answer. nothing has been made official by samsung about ICS release and to be honest with you with the amount of threads being open regarding the topic of ICS people are getting fed up with it. Hence why you get what you get here. And if you want to vent your anger there are threads in the general forum were you can make your point across. And i rather wait for sammy to tell me when it is going to be release instead of a blogger

Let me guess, if I read I will find a post on fb by someone who knows someone who knows someone who works for Samsung as a cleaning lady. While she was emptying the rubbish bins she found a note with the release date scribbled on it.
Man, Samsung really should start using paper shredders.
Breaking news - ICS will look like the leaked LPH but with bugs fixed.

You are saying as if I am trolling over here. I am being a part of XDA for over 6 months now and I never created any useless thread. The only thing is that those pages made us super excited for the march 1.I visit those pages everyday and answer the questions posted by people. Personally, I will never use the samsung's official ICS because of Touch Wiz. I will wait for CM9.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401673
Discuss the release of ICS in that thread please.

Some pretty unfair responses in here, To be fair the thread is pointless and the OP should have properly researched the subject before posting, that however, does not give you the right to insult anyone.
Play nicely kiddies.

Should there be a noob Q&A?

Being a bit of a newb myself. I wondered if anyone agrees that there should be at separate Q&A for noob (novice) questions only.
Therefore more experienced users can filter out stupid questions that even I think is ridiculous. Leaving the Q&A for real problems, rather than simple and stupid questions like "how do I flash a new modem" etc. I propose this idea in all platforms and models.
I felt as a true noob, some time ago that people are very quick to snap at noobs. Leaving them feeling like quitting and giving up. As a community member I feel this is an issue. Having a Q&A for noobs I hope would not leave noob questions unanswered.. just only given advice from willing and helpful members. Leaving experienced or dare I say selfish user the freedom they desire, and the noobs that extra bit of support.
After all, this is a community and we are "supposed" to be helpful. And we all started without any knowledge atall. I am eager to hear your responses.. both noobs and pro devs.
What are your thoughts on this?
Thank me if you agree or better still, post your thoughts. Thanks for your patience in reading my rant

That's not particularly true, people don't snap at noobs. (Well, most don't and those wo do are jerks)
People snap when multiple times a day the same question gets asked again and again with usually (more or less) exactly the same wording.
So they snap at lazy people who either don't use the search function at all or give up after 5 seconds... not noobs. Neither of both requires the other.
get over yourself man. it's nature.
Neh, no.
However there should be a FAQ like thread that answers the most common questions, and newcommers must be forced to read it before being allowed to post xD
The last part is more or less meant jokingly but such an FAQ thread is cool.
Many other device sections have such one.
No point having a noob thread they refuse 99% of the time to read it .
Pity their is not a better FAQ and Guide as per the SGS2 for them not to read though .
Noobs or anybody that does not want to work within the XDA ethos and rules and wants it all handed to them on a plate does not belong on this developers forum a Samsung phone forum would suite them better .

[Guide/Info] What you need to include to get help

I have noticed that people in the q and a section are not posting nearly enough information in their post or title to get the information they need. This causes people to ask lots of questions and delay getting the answer they need. So this guide will show you what you need to include in your post to get the most efficient answer to your question.
We'll start with the Title:
- Please do not just say "HALP, PHONE BROKE" or "HELP" , etc.
- You need to be precise, and describe what you're looking for in your thread.
Next, the information you need to state before you even get into asking your question.
- The make of your phone. There are many different variants of your device. I9100 G/M/P/T
- Are you rooted/unrooted?
- What rom you are using? And which version? -and- What kernel are you using? And which version?
- Have you flashed any mods/scripts/themes?
- Have you changed DPI? If yes, to what?
- Have you done anything to try to solve your issue? This would be very valuable information.
- Please (if on stock firmware) dial *#1234# and post the results (thanks to fxrb)
Then you can ask your question.
- Do not ask "What rom/kernel/theme is the best?" -or- Something that you have not searched for (it is infact very obvious if you havent)
- Be specific and precise in what you want/need. Do not write a 10, 000 word essay, or a 3 word question.
- Pictures say a 1000 words
Important things to remember:
- Be polite: People never want to help someone who wont appreciate it, or is rude to them. Remember your p's and q's
- Do not bump your thread: It gets annoying and against the rules
This is under construction and will take a bit to include all of the information needed. I know there are lots of more experienced users than I, and would love feedback of what to include. Please do not hesitate to post in the thread or even PM me with information you think needs to be included in this thread.
Stickies
- DO NOT POST A "What's the best ROM/Kernel/Theme?" THREAD!
- [Newbies][Experienced Users][RCs] New members friendly Q&A thread
- [KERNEL][REF][Q&A] Siyah 5.0+[ICS/CM10] 6.0b5+[JB/CM10.1] +DISCUSSION+. NON-DEV!!!
- Australian AU Galaxy S II (help/rooting/updates,etc)
- SGS2 Canadian Thread (Bell/Virgin/Sasktel/Rogers) Root/Unlock/Firmware/Modems/Mods
- New here? READ THIS THREAD FIRST. What Is Recovery & Download Mode?
- Frequently Asked Questions

The thought is nice... but unless this is stickied (and even then), this thread will fall off the first page, and since the vast majority of n00bs (not new members, but "n00bs" - there's a huge difference) won't search, they won't see it.
Heck, there have been dozens of posts since you posted this that have been terribly short of any information.
But I applaud the thought.
You have to think how them noobs operate.They muck up their phone,stick the symptoms in a google search,and want an answer asap.
So they are not going to spend hours reading rules and stickies or use the search function.
I spent a week reading about stuff for the x10i I had before I decided to do anything to it.That way at least I had half an idea what helpers were talking about when/if I got into trouble.
When I joined this forum the s2 looked a lot more complicated and the forum looked a lot more "vicious"(like give that guy 20xlashes since he didnt do a search).
Its a tough world lol

Yea, but we have to try. At least now we have something to guide them to and for the new people to refer to. If we dont at least have a guide for how to get good answers to their questions theirs no standard.. Now there is
Nice thread
hope users follow this
Doubt many people will take notice of this (for a whole host of reasons; don't get me started), but props for trying (thanked OP).
Edit - Oops. Sorry. So used to giving crap threads on here one star I did it to yours accidentally (intended to give it 5).

Doubt many people will take notice of this (for a whole host of reasons; don't get me started), but props for trying (thanked OP).
Edit - Oops. Sorry. So used to giving crap threads on here one star I did it to yours accidentally (intended to give it 5).

Yeah, but now we have something to refer the horrible q and a posts that have no info to. And dont worry about the rating... it happens
Do you have anything to add to it? It feels like I''m missing something
Oh absolutely. As I said, good that you've tried, I just don't see it making any difference is all. 90% of people who post here are idiots, that won't change.
No, nothing to add. I think you've covered it well.

in relation to search and read before asking questions...
just wanted to share that I've got a nicely setup dualboot with the siyah kernel, RootBox JB 2.1 as my second rom successfully patched with the autopatcher 1.6 and a fully working pdroid. That's it...
Since i have less than 10 posts I cannot thank the developers in their respective threads (at least that's how i get the message). I think this is my 5th post so I guess i never make it to the developers section because i really don't know what questions i can ask and, answers i could give are all answered...
this must be a "new member" problem rather than a n00b one?
Regards and 1 post closer

Yeah, but don't just get 10 posts just to say "thank you" in the rom Dev section. I van personally say that devs hate this as it clogs up the thread and doesn't add anything to anything. That is why xda has the thanks button, and the devs appreciate that more than saying it. In fact, it you really want to say thank you donate to them. Even if its 1 euro they will be very grateful.

course not it was kind of a semi-sarcastic post, I have more to say than thanks I spent countless hours reading and learning stuff (in general, it is fun after all!) and as far as this forum is concerned (which is really helpful btw!) it's difficult to then act (for the time being!). Example: Somehow I managed to post in a developer's thread 1-2 months ago, first a problem then I found the solution and posted it myself. I then got PMed by someone asking me for help. Only problem is I never got an email notification in spite of having a thread subscription so I didn't bother to check my PMs. As for donating, absolutely.

OK awesome. I'm used to people who just want to say thanks, so I have to mention something like that. But taking a look at your sign up date, of looks like you might be able to post in the Dev section without having 10 posts. I believe if you signed up before a certain date you don't need the posts. And of looks like you might fit in there. I would try it you never know
Edit: but enough off topic

Sadly I agree to everybody believing that this thread will not be read by those who should do so, sorry. However, if by accident just one out of thousand will read it then there will be 'only' 999 bad questions remaining - a small progress.
For this one out of thousand I would like to contribute something to the information section of this thread. For basic information I often ask people to dial *#1234# and post the result. As this thread is in the Galaxy SII forum this should work, at least as long as people are on stock firmware (probably use this conditionally ?).

Could someone take a picture of their Galaxy S 3's start up screen

I know this is an odd request but I need the picture to show a friend and I cannot find one.
Could someone take a picture of their Galaxy S 3 booting up where it says "Samsung Galaxy S 3 i9300" just before it gets to the glowing Samsung Logo.
Thanks and I'd be happy to mark 'thanks' afterwards. I know it's a weird request haha.

Uh... google?
Also post questions on the Q&A section and not the General section.
My mate needs one without watermarks or branding that he is allowed to use for his blog or something where he won't get into trouble with copyright or whatever. I obviously already directed him to google. He said if needs be he'll register here himself and ask. Though I offered because I already have an account here.
Also I thought this was a general topic, not exactly a 'Q and A' topic so I posted it here.
Its not a topic its a question .
Topic as in open for general discussion .
I would post boot i have no logo .
My then about where it goes. A mod can of course happily move the thread if needed.
He just needs a picture of the words "Galaxy S III GT-I9300" on black as it boots up. Not the spinning blue logo or whatever.
Dunno if I remember correctly but even if you custom flash the phone it should still have that before the rom boots up its own logo etc.

Your topic title indicates a question. The word "Could" always is used for a question hence should posted on the Q&A one.
As for your request I don't know how to take a screenshot with just the text dunno also if that's even possible best is try again with google I'm pretty sure you'll find one eventually.

No, he probably just looked at the google search result for mor than 10 seconds. Scroll through the results. The image is there.. with no "brandingf"
I'll say it one last time.. because I've already repeated myself and asked nicely quite a few times...
My mate doesn't want to use an image from google. I don't understand how that's hard to understand.
This topic isn't a debate about being able to lmgtfy
It's "Hey, if anyone has a moment, could they please snap a pic of their SGS3 booting up. That would be great and I'd love you forever"
Honestly I would have expected the worlds biggest smartphone forum to have delivered by now. It's a very simple request and I have asked nicely and I thought we made it clear what he wanted. You guys are normally so helpful. He's not asking for a custom kernel forged from custom silicone. He's asking if you'd take him a quick pic of your phone on a table/chair/floating in the air, at it's boot up, and be cool with him putting it on his blog.
If it could have been me who could have helped, I would have done it no questions asked.
Actually you haven't repeated yourself at all. This is the first time you've said "not from Google".
Previously you had said:
- no water marks
- no branding
- allowed to use.
All these criteria are met on google. Moving the goal posts now is pointless. Besides this site is indexed on Google. Guess what happens to a picture we post here?!
Jeez. Get a grip

There's a picture of my phone. Its in a case though. Credits to rootsu @ xda

HAHA man they get so upset around here dont they? I dont have a s3 anymore since I am now on the note 3. I would have done it instantly.
Come on people give the OP what he needs and move on. No need to bash him or anything. Sure google works but why go there when there are thousands of s3 users right here?

BTW the logo doesnt change when you flash a new rom. You might have a red wording with custom recovery but thats it

This is a developers forum, not a "help" forum. We're all here to develop, learn from developers and contribute to ongoing development. Of course there may be backlash when we're asked for non-development stuff that is already readily available in the public domain.

First of all i am not going to start a virtual argument over this, and secondly there isn't anything wrong with just helping someone so we all can just move on. Instead everyone wants to poke and joke.

No one helped sadly.. I got a friend of mine whom I knew had the phone to take a picture for my other mate who wanted it and she gave him the express permission to use it. I honestly thought that XDA would have helped me out by fulfilling the actual request within minutes.. I guess I was wrong.
Oh and thanks Jet.
