Hi I'm really new at this. I got a Euro/greece galaxy s2 and did an update on kies to the latest firmware, but in the phone info it still says 2.3.3. How do I upgrade to 2.3.4??
2.3.4 is not officially available yet via Kies, so wait a bit.
It is if you have a phone with the OXA product code (and another one from South America that I forgot).
They are the KG5 and KG7 firmwares.

Hi,
A few days ago I've unlocked and debranded my sgs2, flashed with odin the XWKI4 (2.3.4) firmware..
Today I saw on samfirmware that there exist a I9100XWKI8 (2.3.5) available..
I want to avoid odin (as I don't want a factory reset), so I connected my phone to kies, but Kies says that my version is the last one available..
Can anyone explain me why kies says that there is no update available for me?
Thanks
Btw, my phone info:
PDA: I9100XWKI4
PHONE: I9100XXKI1
CSC: I9100XEUKH2
In the same frigin pool m8...
hmm not many options.
For your region, that is the latest available.
Roll out of upgrades is not universal, it comes in spurts and dabs, with upgrades usually months behind the current version available.
Currently latest unofficial firmware out is KJ3.

Do a search for Checkfus on here. That will be able to tell you the most recent available firmware for your phone/region/carrier.

You have the same version I had when I bought my SGS2 in December via Phones4U on O2. This is not O2 firmware, it is Samsung's firmware. And that is the latest publicly released version. So annoying.....That is why my attention has been driven to XDA The latest stock firmware you can install is XWKL1, however I recommend a custom firmware as stock firmwares are buggy, battery not-friendly, and have tens of useless apps...
stock firmwares are buggy????????
That is nonsense .

Hello all,
I purchased Galaxy S2 last year in June in United Arab Emirates and have had following firmware:
PDA:KE2
PHONE: KE1
CSC: KE1 (ARB)
Kies still shows no updates for my device.
It is Gingerbread 2.3.3. It does not support Arabic (all Arabic text appears as blocks) even though it should.
It is not a carrier branded version. It is available in the country through only 1 official Samsung distrubutor. My friends who purchased the phone much later have different firmwares on their devices and have proper Arabic support and have had their phones updated through Kies few times.
What I feel is that there are different series of Galaxy S2 devices released in the country havind different firmware series. I purchased my device the very first day it was released here (pre-ordered).
I think that there are newer firmware updates for my device though I can not understand exactly which ones will work with my device. I am wondering why no updates have been made available on Kies.
Can anyone guide me to the exact firmware updates for my device (all 3 part; PDA, PHONE and CSC). Gingerbread 2.3.5 would be preferred. Or should I wait for Android ICS 4?
Thanks very much!
Just root your phone.

Forget kies it's terrible software.
Make sure you have a I9100 version of the phone the Read this thread.

Learn how easy it is flashing firmware with Odin and find a good late version firmware to your liking. Then flash it.
You can flash your csc also to keep that if you need it. Carrier specific Stuff.
Also you can flash modems to see what gives you the best reception etc.
After you have done this kies will probably not work for updates anymore but you can download an app called checkfus from the market to check your carrier/region updates.
Hope this helps.

Did you purchase from UAE then I suggest you just take the phone to the service center they will upgrade to latest firmware for free. Else go to Intratech's thread and get the jpkj2 firmware. With XSG csc this one is for uae. The link is in my signature official firmware.

A friend of mine has a samsung galaxy s2 with basebandversion I9100XXKE4 and when i looked which version of android it was running i was surprised to see version 2.3.3 was installed. Because i had version 2.3.5 before i used another baseband version update to go to ICS ... Looking arround on the web i could not find a more recent version of Android for her phone. (btw also still no official ICS version for the i9100XXKI3) So I had on my phone a baseband version I9100XXKI3 and i updated using Odin with an ICS package which had I9100XXLPR baseband No problems until now. Now running CM9.
You guys think i can also use this (xxLPR)package to update her I9100XXKE4 ?
We both live in HK. Only difference is she is on PCCW and i am on Smartone

XX ROM series had plenty of official updates after 2.3.3, among them three ICS ROMs. Latest is LPW.
Just follow this guide:

and pick up whatever ROM you feel like (you may also follow your product code).

Yes, you can. Only thing is if you flash stock firmware for another region you may have problems getting OTA updates for your region in the future. Which isn't a huge problem as you can also simply flash these via Odin when they're released if you do have difficulties.
I've had a look at Checkfus (PC version) & it tells me most recent update for I9100/Hong Kong was ZSLPG on 06/04/2012. So I guess you could go with LPR like you did, or you could get Checkfus & use this ICS build, which might mean no problems with OTA updates in the future (but no guarantees).
