Thanks for the information. Samsung is damn slow in releasing updates in all countries..
Did anyone try this?
What's the password for the 2.3.5 downloaded file? It is not unzipping because it is password protected..

excuse, the password is: sampro.pl
Done!
Thanks very much bro, it is DONE!!!
I followed your instructions and now the firmware version is updated! Not had time yet to see what's new but does seem faster for usual interaction..
See picture below! Forgive crappy quality as taken from my phone in a hurry..
BTW the password is not what you gave, it is ******.pl you can google for the correct password as I am not sure if I am supposed to post it here..
thanks, very helpful.
works like a charm.
i take it this is not for the USA YP-70
if not then you had better state it before someone screws up their usa model.
Most regions should by now have access to the official 2.3.5 update.
If you're like me just got your device and you had it delivered with 2.2.2. Check kies. There might be an update available.
1. Download kies from samsungs website.
2. Press menu->Settings ->Wireless & Network ->USB-settings ->Check: Samsung Kies.
3. Press menu->Settings -> Apps -> Develop -> Unckeck: USB.
4. Start kies on the pc
5. Connect the usb cable.. and relax for a bit and wait and see what kies says.
For anyone wondering, i bought my device in sweden and it was delivered with:
2.2.2
2.6.32.9
[email protected] #1
FROYO.XXKG1
After kies update:
2.3.5
2.6.35.7-G70XXKPE-CL562492
[email protected] #1
GINGERBREAD.XXKPE
Here in Brazil has not updated the kies, so I do the same as Odin is not the official one.
radx you can backup your firmware and make available for download?
Sorry I dont know how to do that.
I believe there is an option in Odin before you flash a rom look otherwise a "dump" or backup button. Always a good idea before flashing any thing. It allows you back to a factory returnable state.

You could flash rjs kernel in Odin and that would install ClockworkMod. From there you can do a nandroid backup. Well i think that's how it works.

it wont let me post this in the dev forum and i did a seperate thread to the tips one to get my specific question looked at.
firstly, i believe due to it being a vodafone device, i dont get the update offered in kies which i believe is up to ke7, mine is ke1 and i cant see vodafone getting their fingers out very quickly to authorise the update. if i root it, should this then offer the update or is it only likely if i also completely unbranded it?
i dont want to flash any custom roms or anything so if the update still doesnt get offered after rooting, what other benefits would i see from rooting? what programs, inc vodafones own, could i remove?
if i do root it, i should download the unsecure .tar xwkdd even though i am currently on ke1? will i need to re-root again if/when there was any further updates such as ke8/9 etc etc?
also download odin and superoneclick and follow the guide.
to get rid of the yellow exclamation i the follow the same initiall process but use ke1 as i would have been on this if i still hadn't managed to update with kies or ke7 if i had managed to update? if i had to root first to GET that ke7 update would i root, update firmware through kies THEN reflash with ke7? OR root, reflash with ke1 THEN update? as you can see from this last paragraph, having vodafone branded phone makes it more confusing for such a newbie as i dont know what to do with that update.
please be gentle guys as i want to get the best from this phone but dont want to brick my phone and being a newbie i am very worried about getting it wrong
If you have to ask you shouldnt be doing it, but if you insist then follow the guide step by step and you cant go wrong. And if you do go wrong, insert your jig and flash away.
Also a post like this shouldnt go in the dev forum as it would get locked/deleted so you got the post in the right section.

thx mate.
surely everyone here had to start somewhere and that would have meant learning how to do it, possibly by asking questions.
as of following the guide, sorry but my question points out that i simply wanted a little extra reassurance about what rooting can help with but also what way round i would approach the update of the firmware and the rooting. i have already looked at the guide and it doesn't really have the finer points of the update built into the guide so thats why i posted.
One updates are released by Vodafone the latest is KE1 you wait for them to update .
Rooting is nothing to do with update and will void warranty .
You need to follow the instructions if you want to root
Long Guide for beginners .
Root phone then install Ke1 Kernel from post 2 ..
If you want total debrand use the debrand guide but you lose Voda update path .

Long guide (for beginners)
- Download the attached ODIN file and extract the .zip file
- Download the attached XWKDD, but do NOT extract the .tar file
- Download and extract SuperOneClick (Some say you should not be using the very latest version 1.9, but 1.5 or so)
- If you do not have Samsung's KIES 2.0 installed, download and install it. You need it to install the correct USB drivers, so the programs can communicate with the device. Reboot your computer after installation of KIES.
- Make sure your device is in USB debugging mode: Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging
- Reboot your device into download mode: Turn the device off, then power it on again by pressing and holding VolumeDown + Home + Power simultaneously. You will know when you are in download mode, it is really obvious
- Start ODIN
- Connect the device to your computer using USB
- Wait a few seconds, the ODIN screen should show you that a device is now connected
- Make sure that in ODIN NOTHING is checked, except the "Auto reboot" and "F. Reset Time" checkboxes. Press the "PDA" button, and select the "XWKDD_insecure.tar" file.
- Press "Start". ODIN you should now be flashing the kernel, and the device should reboot.
- Wait until the device is rebooted, and while still being connected over USB, start SuperOneClick, and press ROOT.
- Reboot the device
- Done !

Of course you can update official firmwares via Odin. But as you are sometimes getting connection with Kies, I'd advice you to re install the drivers and then try again. And make sure USB debugging is Off before connecting.
However if the problem remains then Odin is the option, and you can get official firmwares from here,

additionally if i download the indian update version on my vodafone uk SGS II, is it ok, ?

How can I get kies to work to update my SGS to gingerbread?
Hi I'm a noob member of this forum, but have been watching it for 3 months. With suggestions from this site, I have eventually managed to get the current version of kies (2.0.0.11014_49) to connect to my Galaxy S I9000 - at least some of the time (it's a bit hit and miss).
I have been able to sync my contacts and podcasts from my phone to my computer using kies.
I can get to the kies screen for updating firmware. BUT - this is the really frustrating part - it tells me that my firmware is up to date.
It correctly tells me that my firmware version is:
PDA-JP5 PHONEJP3 CSC-JP4(XSA) - this matches the output of the not-so-secret key-code.
From the handset, in Settings About Phone I get:
Firmware version 2.2
Baseband DTJP3
Kernel version 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #7
Build FROYO.DTJP5
I am aware of the post "Kies firmware update without using (all of) Kies!" by miki4242, but this doesn't apply to the latest kies. Does anyone know how to do the same thing with the current version of kies?
I'm also aware of the post "Kies 2.0 Registry Patcher 1.8.0.0, patch registry on latest Kies" by Nodial, but I'm looking to do it as simply as I can. I have not rooted my phone, and would prefer to use Samsung software (kies or part thereof) to get gingerbread. Surely it shouldn't be so hard!?!
(Or why can't we get it as a download direct to the phone from samsung or the market?)
PS: I tried to post this qn as a new thread, but the site wouldn't let me (the error msg said I couldn't paste outside links).
I never used Odin for updates however I recently updated via Kies and my current firmware is kj3, now waiting for official ICS update

Hi everyone,
I made this thread because I wanted to make a guide of my own to update your Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100. I'm with Virgin Mobile, so I can confirm this work fine. You wont lose any of yours data, apps.
I experienced a better battery lifetime, better signal reception, gps, etc.
I put together many different guide to make things easier for new users.
All guides here are from XDA developers. I don't take any credits for them.
First you need Samsung Kies if you don't already have it. This is only to get the driver for your phone. Plug in your phone with usb cable and wait for the peripheral to get recognize.
After this close Kies and kill any process named Kies in your task manager.
download here
http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/m...softwaremanual.do?page=MOBILE.SOFTWARE.MANUAL
or french version
http://www.samsung.com/fr/kies/
Take your phone; hit parameter, applications, developement and check usb debog and fictitious position ( sorry my phone is in french not sure how its called in english, just check both option). You have to uncheck them if you want to transfer files on your phone like you do normally.
Now you need :
Get Odin v1.85 from here: http://www.multiupload.com/1RTGSE061G

The stock kernels are to be used to restore the kernel version after rooting and are not needed for updating the firmware.
You do not need to root or unroot the device to update the firmware.
Please ensure that KIES is closed and not running in the system tray! Kies doesn't like Odin, it's like the big brother who's always jealous that his little brother is getting to flash all the phones so he starts to flash block.
Flashing Firmware with Odin
1. Just download the firmware version you want from the second or third posts and extract the .tar or .tar.md5 file in the archive and save it somewhere
2. Reboot your phone to download mode.
To get download mode shut down the device. After it shuts off completely simultaneously press the Down volume key+ Home button + press the power button .
You should see a warning asking you to press volume up if you want to continue or volume down to cancel, press volume up. You are now in download mode!
3. Start Odin
4. Click on the PDA button and browse to the .tar or .tar.md5 file that you extracted in step 1
If the package has more than one .tar archive then they will be labelled with PDA, Phone/Modem and CSC. Just put them in the corresponding section of Odin
5. DO NOT PUT .PIT FILE AND DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TICK REPARTITION.
Anyone ask about .pit file is a moron
Should look like this screenshot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Regardless of firmware version it's still the same methodology
6. Connect the USB cable and wait for the ID:COM section to turn yellow
7. Click start to flash
8. Do not disconnect the cable or turn off the device, it will reboot when it finishes.
It will not wipe your phone if you flash as recommended
You will lose root so just re-root with the guide below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Instructions - ODIN (long)
- Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Unzip the attached CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.zip
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start ODIN
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar
- Put your phone in download mode
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure repartition is NOT checked
- Click the START button
- Wait for the phone to reboot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)
Yellow Triangle Removal
Just flash the original kernel I linked.
Tutorial can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1193091
Alternatively you can use a Jig as it also resets the custom Rom counter
Tips
Download Titanim Backup from the market once your phone is rooted. It backup everything and put back all yours apps, icones the way they were.
Get Juice defender and autokiller memory for you battery. It really work well. There's a cool feature where you can downclock your cpu at idle if its rooted.
You can get the original firmware from here (2.3.3)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
If you need to put back your phone the way it was when you bought from the store.
Thats's all enjoy GingerBread 2.3.6.
Feel free to post if there's any mistake or something missing.
How come you chose XWKK5? Would I be ok to use the XWLA4 firmware from Germany?

does the rom support for my GT-i9100 in malaysia?
Hi Guys and Girls,
Complete noob here, so forgive me if its been covered numerous times, tried searching for the answer but i'm not sure what exactly to look for.
first off, when i saw cyanogenmod release their stable 9.1, i got really excited and decided to flash it. Unfortunately in my excitement, i forgot the most important bit... rooting my phone... my version is an unbranded i9100 bought in Australia. I don't remember what the initial version was, but i did update it via kies to ICS, not sure which exact version it was but i think it was I9100XWLP8.
So I followed the steps to unbrick it from cnet uk.
Everything loaded normally, but when I switch it on, the phone goes into the boot screen and stays there. I don't know what to do next. Can someone shed some light?
desperate to get my phone working again, at least its not a hard brick, only a soft brick.

Click on the Start button in Odin to start flashing the firmware to your phone.
After the flashing completes, your phone will automatically reboot. You should be able to get a “PASS†message on
the top left part of Odin.
NOTE: If you get a FAIL message or Odin gets stuck, disconnect your phone from the PC and close Odin. Remove the
battery from your phone, re-insert it, and place your phone into Download Mode again. Open Odin and do the procedure
starting from step 6.
Once you see the Samsung logo on your phone’s screen, you can safely disconnect your phone from the PC.
Hope this helps!

I purchased an AT&T Note 1 or i717. It currently has version 4.0.4 on it and would like to get the most recent (AND STABLE) version I can. A basic stock android would be fine, doesn't need to be a rocking mod or anything like that, just something that won't crash every day and where everything works.
Can someone PLEASE point me in the right direction? I did the search function but couldn't find out where to begin. Thanks for all who are able to assist me

Why not use the built-in OS update? Waaay better than Kies.
Just go to settings> phone> check for update. No PC needed.

I thought upgrading to 4.1.2 was ONLY available via Kies? (we are talking stock upgrade, not custom)
(or Odin I guess, if you download the flashable file)
The current stock at&t rom is 4.1.2 and it is delivered OTA through update menu.
Even though its an AT&T phone, I had it factory unlocked. Currently using in on a T-Mobile service. Gonna have to try the Kies method I guess.

Damn. Here in Canada (or at least in BC), its only available via Kies. GB -> ICS was OTA, but ICS -> JB isn't. At least on Bell its not.
Sorry if I stepped in where I shouldn't.
That's good information about Canadian carriers not offering OTA upgrades. Lucky for this amigo he's at&t so he can get up to date OTA.

Ok, having issues here. I've done 1-6 when I do #7, Kies makes a noise, like its trying to connect to the phone, goes to another screen for just a a second, looks like a cable attaching to a phone, then goes back to splash screen. Tried several usb ports, different cables, even Kies' troubleshooting guide where it reinstalls the driver. Still the same thing. Any suggestions?
You can try this method:

I have the same .tar file, but built for Bell here in Canada.
I flash it through odin, then flash TWRP. Then I flash my bell modem, flash counter reset file, then re-flash stock recover. Then I use OTA to get to ICS, then Kies to get to JB.
I can write more specific instructions for what 'I' do, if that might help. I can also try to track down files for ATT (not bell) when I get a bit of free time. Hope that helps you get closer to the end you are wanting!
If it wouldn't be too much trouble, sure. I can't figure out the next step. I'm considering just selling it and buying something new with JB already in it, lol.
Has anyone experienced the same issues or am I just the special one
Is it the stock 4.0.4 on the phone now? Then, you should be able to just upgrade to stock 4.1.2.
I was never on stock, so I don't know if the update can be done via OTA, but you should be able to use Kies on your computer to update it. At the very least, you will have JB even with the stock bloat.
