Hello everyone, as most of you know, today, March 10th, the official ICS was released on SGS2. I was previosly on CheckROM HD v6, i flashed a stock Firmware(KH3 1 file thru Odin), connected to Kies and i get the stupid error, your device does not support software update via Kies. Question is, why doesnt it still allow me to update even though im not on a custom ROM? Which firmware do i have to be on. in order to update to ICS??
Are you sure You expect official ICS to show up on KIES today..?
The latest is.. No dates for ICS yet..
Regarding your current ROM.. you haven't flashed the right one.. KIES will only recognize the official ROM for your region... As per it came installed when you got the phone
kies sucks, i have never got any service out of it other than drivers, didnt support my samsung tab nor my s2 on stock rom, they just say its not supported, downgraded to kies 1.5 or 2.something and it just says you need to update your kies lol,
i hear it looks for updates based in your region so its best to wait till theres a recovery version or one extracted from kies.

ICS hasn't been released yet
I recommend you flash a 3 file ROM, to be as stock as possible, such as XXKI3
Who needs KIES? If you already flash with ODIN/CWM, having ICS in an ODIN flashable form is a matter of hours after the KIES version is released

On every single ICS related thread, you will find that, that announcement was cancelled.....I hate it, when people don't read.

Thank you for the breakdown. The way i saw it was, KIES will be the fastest way to get ICS, even before the file gets uploaded to XDA, thats why i went with it. Checked the Official Firmware thread, didnt see anything except the BETA 4.0 and tried KIES which didnt work. So its been moved back to the original date, March 15th? 15->10->15

We don't know the exact date yet... It's still better to go with ODIN. Kies is a piece of goddamn crap. Seriously.

How fast will it be ready to be downloaded on XDA of the moment its released? Approx a few days?

Less. Usually, Sammobile gets the hold of files as soon as they are released on KIES or even before.
My guess is ICS will be a staggered release by region.
so unless you're lucky enough to be in the 1st region xda will have it before you get it via kies.

Hi i bought a new samsung galaxy s2 the other day and immediately checked for updates ota. it said an update was available, so i downloaded it and clicked install. the phone rebooted and began updating but once it got to 14 percent it stopped, rebooted then said update was unsuccessful. So i connected to kies and it told me my phone wasnt compatible for updates via kies. any ideas?
Kies is useless, if you really want to update you can use odin yourself... up to you and voids warranty
Try uninstalling and reinstalling but too be honest, forget kies...
hmm. ok. any ideas on why the ota update stops at 14 percent? im on stock 2.3.4 and not rooted.
yes, because kies is rubbish....
settings - about phone - update... Over The Air update is probably not available lol ...
With odin you can flash stock updates... really simple, but get used to the phone and if you want to take the leap, its not difficult but do plenty of reading, it can a bit daunting initially...
Is there anything wrong with your phone or just hungry for the latest version?
OTA is not in use/working for many yet but is supposed to be working when ICS is released .

You said you're in the US? Then there isn't a stock ROM for the i9100 for your region. I'm in the US too. You should be able to use any from Intratech's official firmware thread just fine. I flashed from XWKE7 for the UK (2.3.3), that came with the phone, to XXKI3 for Poland (2.3.5). Haven't found a need to upgrade beyond that yet, but there are newer versions available.

ahh of course :/ well thanks for the info!
got my s3 yesterday and I thought I would try to upgrade officially rather than root straight away. tried kies first but wouldn't work and then I thought I would try the update through the phone but my phone doesn't have that in the about device bit.
so my questions are is there something wrong with my phone? and should I just use odin and flash the latest stock firmware? or which is the best custom firmware that keeps all the stock functions?
my apologies of this has all been covered before.
thanks
First we need to know what firmware have your phone preinstalled.
Type *#1234# in dialer.

i9.0.1.3k galaxy imperator
Your phone should be able to receive OTA updates, Kies is for most users a pain in the xxx. Best way to update is to flash the updated rom through Odin (see item 2 and 3 in my signature). For custom roms see the developers thread, there are many good rom`s with all the stock features. My preference is what you see in my banner. First read up about rooting, flashing, CWM and stuff to avoid problems
Well, since you are asking in XDA, YES don't wait for OTA or Kies. Use odin to flash original firmware.
Root it as fast as you can
Try every custom roms until you found the one you like the most.
Happy flashing

I appreciate all your answers. I'm not new to to flashing as my last phone was an S2 running wajk miui, just curious as to whether there was something wrong with my phone as it doesn't have the update in about device.
didn't want to root straight away as I'm not convinced I want to keep this phone yet, not impressed with it as I thought I'd be.

You say Kies does not work ???
No update well that begs the question is their an update for your phone .
No OTA in settings About Phone System Update that suggestions that the vendor has removed OTA updates .If so firmware updates are via Kies when the vendor decides to push them out .

thanks for the reply. did try with kies and it was updating but timed out twice so I gave up. my current firmware is BVLAF4.
I've been trying to update my i777 to ICS for the past few days, but Kies grays out the feature to update and says update through Kies is not supported by my device. I've tried over-the-air updating, but it says my software is up to date. I have no clue what to do. Also, I tried rooting to flash a custom ROM and get an update like that, but that doesn't work either. Please help.

I looking to restore my S3 to stock so i can receive official updates
would this be the correct procedure
Use triangle away to reset flash counter
Flash a stock firmware via odin
For example
I9300XXDLJ4 Download
Base Firmware: I9300XXDLJ4 (4.1.1)
Region Europe
Country: United Kingdom
Carrier: Unbranded
Build Date: 19 October 2012
Modem: XXDLID
CSC: OXADLJ4
Change List: 368423
Would this then enable OTA updates

Actually if you flash with a stock firmware with odin it will receive future updates via OTA, i had this with my Nexus S phone. I don't know where you get your info from.

Information is from multiple posts saying i cannot update over OTA since i flashed stock firmware .That is why it was no you may not not no .
Not that i would know being a member of XDA i never use OTA/Kies and they don't exist on my phone . So you may be right and those countless posters with stock roms and no OTA may have some other problem .

Im thinking of trading my phone for the note 2 its just so i can restore to stock and for the convenience of the next owner that all stock features (including OTA updates) work

Why no ? you flash it with a stock rom 4.1.1 and if a OTA 4.1.2 will be released then why won't he receive it ? I don't get it since the rom is official and will remove everything else that was installed on the phone.

If you flash your S3 with Odin it will increase the flash counter and change status to modified which will break OTA. Not the same with the 2 year old Nexus S as you'll know. The newer S3 has been modified to detect modifications. There are ways around this using mobile Odin etc. but this is just one indication that just because something works on your 2 year old Nexus S doesn't mean it'll work on the latest technology S3.
It's also why I keep bleating on about not giving advice based on supposition, conjecture or what Joe Bloggs posted elsewhere...advice should be based on experience otherwise its worthless, or even worse, misleading and dangerous.

OK thanks for the info, now a newer question. What will happen if someone flashed a stock firmware (4.0.4 dutch) with a stock firmware (4.1.1 poland) via odin ? Will the OTA be blocked as well ? And what will happen if you flash it later with a 4.1.1 dutch stock firmware via odin ?
A friend of mine never rooted or messed with his phone, he only used odin so he could get jellybean faster.
Edit: His flashcounter said this
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NONE
ok, so it seemed my digitizer was broke on my old phone so i have bought another s2 (yes its pretty old now but i like it and got used to it).
it is on gingerbread android version 2.3.5. everythin works as it should. only thing i dont like about it is the layout of it as i have been used to 4.1.2 jb.
do i update to the latest firmware 4.1.2 or do i leave it? as it seemed there were others having rotation issues with latest JB. Or will i be fine as my old phone was broke.

Yeah....your phone will prompt you to update.....usually via kies air.......
But be advised, if you kies air it, the update will be an incremental one rather than a 'full' one.....it minimises the cost of transferring the data to your phone over the (in most cases) 3g network. If you want the 'full' update, connect your phone to your PC/laptop via USB and do it that way........

You can via Mobile ODIN app. i think it's free on XDA, haven't seen it myself though.. you can search for it. But you still need to download the stock firmware and export it to your phone.
And forget Kies, mate. It's crap!
Odin is the way to go for updating.. from now on...
