In Need of some expert advice .....
The thing is i bought my SGS2 in India a couple of months back and now i am living in South Africa.Now Samsung has released the information today that 2.3.4 is available for downloading via Kies but my device is not showing any update ...

Baseband Version
I9100DDKE4
Kernel Version
2.6.35.1.I9100XWKF3-CL276555
Build Number

Hey,
A few days ago I've bought the Galaxy S2 from Amazon and I have 2 questions:
1. If I enter the following code - *#2222# into the phone it'll tell me the rev version of the phone and it says my is REV1.2, whats the differences between the Rev's?
2. Is the latest official Baseband Version is I9100UHKG4 and latest Build number is GINGERBREAD.UHKG7 ?
Thanks for helpers
min is 1.4. but have no idea what's FTA HW Version means.
t says my is REV1.2, whats the differences between the Rev's?
Samsung do not issue change logs .
Is the latest official Baseband Version is I9100UHKG4 and latest Build number is GINGERBREAD.UHKG7 ?
PDA latest is KG7 Baseband latest KG6
Connect to Kies should tell you your firmware is up to date .
Thoughts and they are no more than thoughts .
One your hardware rev is very very early two KG7 on a brand new phone .

I didn't get the phone on KG7, got it on lower version, connected to Kies and it updated it to KG7, but why my Baseband is KG4 and Kies says I'm up-to-date?
Also I didn't understand is REV1.2 newer than REV1.4 or older?
Could anyone plese help answer my question. I am currently still stuck with 2.3.4. My phone details:
model : GT I9100 Galaxy S2
android version : 2.3.4
baseband version : I9100XXKI1
kernel version : 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI4-CL575468
[email protected]#2
build number : GINGERBREAD.XWKI4
Thank you in advance.
Cuz you don't know how to read? , ... there's so many threads there yow ... LMFAO!

i also had that problem, i was stuck at 2.3.5 when everybody here in my country is already in 2.3.6... my phone was bought in saudi arabia and they still don't have an update there yet. i just followed the instructions in that thread. hth!

Kies only gives an update to the phone that have been updated by the phone provider .
Once you change the product codes then you may not get further kies updates .
A stock Samsung rom via Odin will not void warranty .

Hi all,
I have bought a second hand Samsung Galaxy S 2 in China.
The Android version installed is 2.3.3; I tried to do an update via Kies but I got the infamous message that "firmware update is not supported" for my device. I understand from other posts in the forum that maybe the firmware installed is not matching with the original region of the device, in this case I should install the right firmware in order to get the support from Kies, am I right?
But my question is...how do I know the original firmware/region for my model?
The data of the device are the following:
Model Number: GT-I9100
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9100XXKE4
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE7-CL215725 [email protected] #2 (does this mean the phone has been rooted?)
Build Number: QUENS.GINGERBREAD.XWKE7
Plus, when I connect to Kies the current firmware version detected is:
I9100XWKE7/I9100XEUKD1/I9100XXKE4/I9100XWKE7 (DBT)
Sorry for the noob question, I tried to figure out from the sticky post and used search but I am still confused...(yes, I got intimidated by the welcoming video of the forum)
Thanks

Its not posible to know without evidence guess maybe.

NO its the signature
Build Number: QUENS.GINGERBREAD.XWKE7
That reads as a custom rom by Quens ???
Plus, when I connect to Kies the current firmware version detected is:
I9100XWKE7/I9100XEUKD1/I9100XXKE4/I9100XWKE7 (DBT)
If its a i9100 and no other version pick a stock rom from the stock roms posts .
With later firmware and to match region phone is used in .

Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 which states:
Baseband version:
I9100JHKE2
Kernel version:
2/6/35/7-IJHKE3-CL225022 [email protected] #2
Build number:
Gingerbread.JHKE3
Anyway, I was looking for the ICS upgrade with these numbers and failed, but someone told me some of them were meaningless. The phone was bought from Orange Romania, but I live in Israel and need Hebrew and true Right to Left support, and for the phone to work in Israel's Orange network.
Any idea on such an *OFFICIAL* upgrade?
Thanks!
Oren
Its all good !

I'm using an UNROOTED 4.0.3 from sammobile(dot)com on my SGS2 also on ORANGE network . with it i use GO!Keyboard and no HEB problems.
I think that if you use |CM9-4.0.3 Nightly| it will work just fine too.

You get the update when Orange Romania update it .

What if KIES does not support it?
I tried (because of an answer I got elsewhere) to install Samsung KIES and use it. There's a message there saying "your device does not support software upgrading via kies".
Does this mean I have to use the flashing with download mode?
Also, I couldn't find the sammobile ROM suggested above. Can someone explain how to obtain in?
Thanks,
Oren
Just install SPOOFFW from the market, change your phone into one of the regions which supports the new version ( such as POLAND, XXLPQ ) and then connect to kies.
It will let you upgrade to ICS from kies to the European version
Thanks, but...

There shouldn't be any problem.
Download the latest firmware for your country /region from www.sammobile.com/firmware/
Flash the firmware via Odin.
Happy Independence Day!
