Read the stickies, and check out Intratechs thread there is a guide in there in how to update a stock ROM, I suggest you try a stock ROM first.
It's in the original Android development thread.

Intratechs ROM
what it means?
the simplest way to update the firmware would be to plug it into the pc and connect it via samsung Kies and it should automatically tell you that there is an update available just download and install it however please backup ure data before doing anything.

Hi all
I got my Galaxy 2 this last week and wanted to know a couple of things about firmware, updates...
1.- Kies is not great... Is there any alternative? Can I update my SG2 with another software?
2.- Where can I check the latest versions of the firmware?
3.- Kies is giving me the amazing "This version of the device cannot be updated"... My phone comes straight from Samsung, so I guess I have the Samsung official ROM. Also is not rooted (for now)
Thank you all
P.S. I also got the pink crap in the lens anyone having this got it out with any firmware? I'll try to create an action for Photoshop to remove it. Let's see if my 2D skills can help the community with this path.
1) you can use odin to flash. Follow thr guide in the dev forum from intratech
Which leads to 2) latest firmware available in the same post

It seems you are confused. Or are you just struggling to read english? What one do you see that is rooted?
The ones you have been directed to (stickied at the top of the General section, linked above by pier10) are the same one, (but are hosted on different download sites) and it is NOT rooted, but both pages have instructions on how to root if you want. If you don't want root, just ignore the rooting instructions.
As far as Kies, it will update only if you are still on an official stock Samsung firmware, with the correct CSC for your country. If you haven't flashed any firmwares yourself yet, this is a good bet. But you will have to wait until Samsung updates their servers for your region to say your phone is eligible for an update.

first thing is:
questions go in the q&a section. reported.
and as stated above, there is no need to rush into this. all the information is here and only if you are capable to read up on it, you will understand what you are doing. only then should you start flashing roms and root your phone. without the basic information you are likely to destroy your new phone.
1) you don't need to be rooted to update to ICS. Select the Samsung ICS Stock rom for your place from this link and download it. Don't worry the guide for flashing through is there in the link
2) you can then download the kernel from this link to root you phone. The guide is there for this too..
enjoy your S2 with root. It is definitely worth it..
Though fair warning.. You'll lose your warranty.

I'm looking for a GT-I9100 Stock 2.3.6 Gingerbread firmware.. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

this is not a froum where you're spoon fed on infromation. You want to know something? Google is your friend. You want to find something? I don't see why Google wouldn't be capable of that either.
To help you along the way..
You can find all or most stock firmwares for samsung devices at http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Good luck!

Okay, you carrier doesn't have an update for you yet.
If you want to update, it has to be manually (Odin/mobile odin).
Go to the general section and read information posts, there's a lot of information about flashing, versions (both stock or customs), rooting and a whole lot of useful stuff.
You need to learn a bit, so you won't harm your device, hence, harm yourself
Exactly, there are enough posts and guides in the General section
But as a hint: Most firmwares flashable via Odin only contain one file which has to be put in the pda field in odin
You can choose the firmware for your country on sammobile.com..

Well firstly a little tip, do not use idiotic generic titles like "need help". Topic titles are supposed to be descriptive of topic content so that people browsing forum get an idea of content.
Second, I would HIGHLY recommend you go and do some reading because you obviously haven't. There are plenty of guides and topics that already answer your questions. Spoon feeding is not allowed.
I also recommend watching the video that you're shown when signing up..

HI,
I have recently bought Samsung galaxy S2 from Ebay. It is original Samsung galaxy S2. Surprisingly i got a note from the seller that i cannot upgrade the OS.
The current version info :
==================
Modul No: GT-I9100
Android version : 2.3.4
Baseband version : 9100XXKG1
Kernal Version :2.6.35.7-I9100XXKG1-CL349526 [email protected]#2
Build Number : GINGERBREAD.XXKG1
I tried using Kies software to upgrade my OS. But this software does not list any new firmware for upgrade.
So i don't know how to upgrade to the latest OS.
Also if there are any problem during up-gradation will i be able to revert back to old firmware.
Sincere thanks
