I tweeted samsung uk asking when we should see an update for our unbranded S2's as we are still on 2.3.4, Samsung have responded with 'in the next few weeks'
Do you think they will update to 2.3.5/2.3.6 or will they go straight to ICs 4? Not sure if it would be worth them working on the next gingerbread update for us when ICS is around the corner..... what doe you people think?
ICS is not ready yet.
Here, at Russia, we have android 2.3.5 last official firmware through kies, i suppose that we all get android 2.3.6(which have the new lockscreen), in few weeks.
Hi!, at south america we are on 2.3.6 official (branded), waiting for ICS, anyway, on the developers section there's really good modded roms.

Most users on this development forum would have updated outside of the official route .
Yes possible that the next update would be ICS as i would be certain that their is no update before that . Why well no need to work on 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 as they have been released a long time now .

Guys, Sorry if this is too early to ask this question..
Any idea when GS2, Gingerbread 2.3.4 update will come in Kies?
Thanks
2.3.4 is not yet released by Samsung when it is released over Kies depends upon product code and phone supplier one week to six months .
KG1 2.3.4 is a leaked test release only
KG2 is 2.3.3 not 2.3.4 .

According to a tweet by samfirmware yesterday 2.3.4 is due to be released via kies this month only. They did not clarify which region will come first though.

From previous experience on i9000, usually Europe will get it first, followed by Asia...

i hope UK willl get it first....
reading this quote, i will not try the leaked version it could still be incomplete, who knows
Leaked version is working perfect for me no problems very happy!!
...And it doesn't seem to turn the screen on when I receive an email like some of the later 2.3.3 builds did.
Battery life not spectacularly better than before, but I had few complaints on that score anyway.
..
hmmm...ive a DBT version...got the Ke7 update last week only via kies.! so may b another 3 months for sure.
well i can tell one thing for certain, kg1 will be released in july.
samsung's release names start with a "k", then the release month, then the absolute number of the release that given month, so "g" being the 7th letter it will be released in july, just like the "kf" builds came out in june and the "ke" builds came out in may. however, this does not necessarily mean, it will be the 2.3.4 version that was leaked, or if and when it will come to any region.
how would anyone predict the release date of a build correctly? there was a test build now, that has a lot of issues. now they need to address these issues. they certainly follow forums like this one. even samsung employee's couldn't tell you, when it will come out, since it is not yet finished.
KG2 = 2.3.3 released .

Hi Guys,
Any idea when India will get Official 2.3.4 update.
Or is there leaked india version some where? if yes, can i have the link?
No leaked version for India yet, Official one isn't released yet. But I believe it's almost there. Just wait a bit more.
Besides, there is an Indian owners thread going on in General section.
Regards.
same problem here sgs2 update
once the " best smartphone" is loosing its charmdnt know wats wrong wid samsung...even the update available for us to download on kies is not workin... all the other smartphones atleast have the 2.3.4 update in them... samsung has dissapointed me very much
I'm really really sorry, but I'm a newbie to the SGS2, having switched over from Moto a day ago, so I'm not sure if this question has been asked before. I have used the search bar, but I couldn't quite find any results.
Okay, so my question is, what is the latest official firmware update available for the SGS2? I've heard that some phones have 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 after an update. I've tried updating the phone with Kies and I'm at 2.3.3 and the build is KI2.
Currently I'm not too comfortable with rooting and flashing a new rom, so I'm sticking with stock for the moment.
It depends on your region.

And India is the first to NOT get an update.
@OP- It's XWKI8 for NEE region and XXKI3 for other regions. Pick your choice and flash one if you don't get the official update from Crapsung.

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.

Hello guys!
I have Galaxy S3 I9300 GSMH.
It's unbranded, i made a research in the forum and it's supposed to be a factory unlocked phone. following the coment "But as such there is no restriction to use any ROM for any country if your device is unlocked(carrier restriction free)" by dr.ketan in http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1801022
My actual firmware installed is the UBBLG2. It's running ICS 4.0.4.
So, here is the thing, I need to know if I can stall any Official Firmware from Samsung with Jelly Bean 4.1.1.
1. What Official firmware should I install?
2. Should I change the CSC too? indicated in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1646610
3. Can I install the latest Firmware from the I9300UBBLG2 - ICS 4.0.4? Or do I need to update to another firmware version before going for the 4.1.1?
5. will this affect future update notifications by Samsung and Android?
Looking at these site and post we know the lastest firmware is I9300XXDLIB. Should I go with this one?
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1646610
Will be this useful to root 4.1.1? http://getmovil.com/android/galaxy-s3-root/
Last thing. OR should I wait for the 4.1.1 release to this baseband version I9300UBBLG2 ?
Take care guys and thanks for all your help.

YES
1. What Official firmware should I install?
Only one JB official the Polish release .
2. Should I change the CSC too? indicated in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1646610
If you want to or have network problems .
3. Can I install the latest Firmware from the I9300UBBLG2 - ICS 4.0.4?
You can but why //
Or do I need to update to another firmware version before going for the 4.1.1?
No
5. will this affect future update notifications by Samsung and Android?
Yes no updates
Will be this useful to root 4.1.1? http://getmovil.com/android/galaxy-s3-root/
Use root from XDA only see the INDEX.
Last thing. OR should I wait for the 4.1.1 release to this baseband version I9300UBBLG2 ?

Thanks for your reply JJEgan
so to make a complete picture we got.
1. I can install JB 4.1.1 Official Firmware Polish Release.
2. I don't have to change the CSC. That must remain untouched.
3. Why will this affect future updates if it is a Official Firmware used on a Factory unlocked I9300? so I won't ever get updates for bug fixes and improvements? How will I handle that?
And
4. JB is supposed to be released on the international Galaxy S3. Why do you say it's never coming to my baseband? being this a international factory unlocked.
5. I've seen too many people in the forum having issues installing JB in their Galaxy S3 like battery drain, Wi-Fi issues etc. That's why question #3. Will i have these issues too with no bug fix updates?
Thanks

You dont have to no must remain untouched .

Same way as you are now updating via XDA .
And
4. JB is supposed to be released on the international Galaxy S3.
It is being rolled out .
Why do you say it's never coming to my baseband?
Baseband is nothing to do with firmware .
5. I've seen too many people in the forum having issues installing JB in their Galaxy S3 like battery drain, Wi-Fi issues etc. That's why question #3. Will i have these issues too with no bug fix updates?
Your choice make your mind up wait for official update for your phone and as you don't understand the basics that may be best .
Or read and learn and flash stock rom from XDA ,

Thank again for your help, I don't want to bother you, but you make me feel confused.
First you told me that JB 4.1.1 "will not be released its ICS ."
But you do not clarify Why this official firmware from Samsung does affect future updates. I mean the Reason. WHY?
And then you do not answers my question and just told me "Your choice make your mind up wait for official update for your phone and as you don't understand the basics that may be best ." even when you said before "will not be released its ICS ."
If there is something else i should know please point me in the right direction, i just want to know and learn more to be sure before installing because it doesn't make sense installing JB if you wont ever get updates from Samsung or android for bug fixes and improvement updates.
Sorry if I'm bothering you, don't take it personal.
Repeat you need to read and learn .
Update path official via Kies or OTA OK .
No problem whenever the update is released for your phone you get it .
Alternative via XDA and flash stock rom on day of release no waiting or custom rom .
Example official JB you let us say six weeks wait .
XDA has stock JB released for Poland you can install that .
But you may then lose your official upgrade path as the codes no longer match as you do not have official firmware for your phone .
First you told me that JB 4.1.1 "will not be released its ICS >> no sorry you are confused .
Official Kies and OTA upgrades are not part of XDA .
BASICS SGS3 I9300 International Only .
