there have been no new roms as everyone is waiting for ICS roms which are due by early to mid 2012.
Over the past few months Samsung Mobile Singapore has only provided one update which is android 2.3.3 DXKI2. Those who bought the phone in june/july it was shipped with android 2.3.3 DXKF1. Only change was the chinese menu. Here's a list for countries with official firmware version. http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entr...-2-3-5-Countries-Release-Status-Daily-Updated
Never mind.
Stop using kies and start using Odin to install updated official firmware that you can download from intratechs official firmware thread. It's in the dev section.
Actually Odin is quicker and better at upgrading than kies anyway.
You can still keep an eye on official releases by using an app called checkfus from the market.
All the info and downloads you need are in that thread but if you need a hand sing out.
Hope this helps.

Hi!
1. Is there any way to get informed about the official firmware releases from Samsung.
Is there any Blog about this or any option on Kies to get a notification about updates?
2. Another thing: where can i find this leakd Stock 2.3.4 ROM for the SGS2? I just found this DarkyROM...with baaad GUI modifications...i dont like it!
I would like to try 2.3.4 untill Samsung releases the officiall version.
THX!
Usually the leaked versions appear on samfirmware.com first. Intratech has 2 threads in samsung original android development section with released roms, both unbranded and branded ones. Kies prompts you for updates if you are on stock rom, don't know if it still prompts you after changing your rom through Odin.

Samsung blogs are not recent /up to date .
Samfirmware.com about the best next best would be XDA .

Hi all
I have just sold one of my 2 S2's, and want to flash it to an officially released UK firmware, so that the new owner can, if they want, wait for official releases to come out and then update OTA, something they wouldn't be able to do with the Frankenware currently on it!
Looking at the other threads, it seems that the latest official UK firmware release is 2.3.4 (XWKI4 according to Intratech's thread) but I just wanted to check this is right before I go ahead and flash it.
Hope someone can help!
Cheers
T
2.3.4 is the latest, & make sure to check product code is XEU after flash.
Have fun.

Will flash 2.3.4 later on, and then check the product code after flash!
Cheers!
Hi good day.. I have a question here, I bought my Galaxy sII in asia and i am currently in europe right now i am using samsung keys to update my phone for an official 4.0 update. We all know that ICS is released here in europe earlier taht other continents, my question is can i update my phone here eventhough i bought it in asia without having any problems with the phone itself.. Thanks and ore power!!!
No.
Updates comes from phone codes only. Asia phone updates when Asia updates.

I see because I am currently in europe right now and after i plugged my phone to the computer and used samsung KIES to transfer music it is telling me that there is an update for my phone that's why i wondered if i can or i cannot..
hi i was waitin for the ics update ota in uk simfree debranded. i have not got the update today so will flashing the poland software be all right !
should be released pretty soon...you can safely update from KIES thereafter...
or else if you already know flashing via ODIN... the polish version works just fine...
preferably to a factory reset ...after flashing
Personal choice would be to wait for a newer release .

thanks so much ! the update will be coming later today?
ICS Latin America
Hello.
Of the published ROMS, which of these is the most recommended for Latin America?
I believe Samsung failed again to keep the dates.
I am waiting for the UK update all day and still nothing.
Does anyone know when this will be released?

On their Facebook page, they said it would be released week commencing 19th March not ON 19th March.

Stick with GB for now. From various reviews on here, there's some disappointment and GB is as stable as you'll get for now.

Hey guys, I am new to the S3 and Andriod as I used to be an iPhone user before. I bought a GT-i9300 from Hong Kong and brought it back to Canada and cant seem to get any software updates. I am currently sitting at build number I9300ZSALG3, just wondering if anyone could help me out doing an OTA update or via Kies or if this is the latest version. My baseband version is I9300XXLG3

Your firmware is from Taiwan..and for it the latest version is what you are currently using..however you dont need to wait for updates you can download firmware for United Kingdom the latest is I9300XXBLG8..you can download it from here..
http://samsung-updates.com/get/58/Samsung_Firmware_GT-I9300_BTU_I9300XXBLG8_Android_4_0_4.html
then flash it via odin...search these threads for the method to do so..
Hi man, Unlike iphone,offical rom is always the worst one.It usually uses more memory and have bad battery management.You can try another rom such as mike's.

Thank you! I am not too familiar with flashing with Android again because it is something new and if anything were to happen I wouldn't know how to fix it since I have been an iPhone user. Is flashing firmware any different from jailbreaking the iPhone? - in terms of being safer. Also, how can I be 100% sure that the UK version will work on my phone as well as keep my unlock.

Hey, again as I said to the previous member, I am not too familiar with flashing nor am I keen on doing it just because I am new to the Android community

Flashing the firmware is 100% safe if you follow the steps..it does not root your phone so it is not jailbreaking...so you will also not loose your warranty...
the firmwares are almost the same for every region, samsung being an a***le released different firmwares for different regions with different CSC....
but i am quite sure it will work on you region as you are already using Taiwan firmware in Canada...in any case download the Taiwan specific firmware also..so if anything goes wrong you can revert back...
by the way I am in India using BTU firmware..
Me too...
Along the same lines, I have an I-9300 sgs3 with South Africa firmware (XFE), i9300xxale9, but I'm using it in the United States, on AT&T, and am not able to receive updates thru either Kies or Update menu. I will NOT be traveling outside the US anytime soon. What should I load that would let me receive updates here in the States OTA?
