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.

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 .

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 .

Hi Guys,
Just a quick question here that I cant seem to piece the answer together for. I have seen in the forum requests and talk about Three branded S3's and just wondered if anyone that has used it or knows more than I could tell me.
1) Apart from start-up logo is there anything else on a 3 branded phone that's missing or cant be removed without needing to be root or re-flashing it?
2) I directly asked the guys in the shop if they change the firmware/ROM and they said no when Samsung release updates you get them instantly, would that be true? I mean if its branded doesn't that mean it goes through the network to tinker before release?
I ask as my HTC Desire was from T-Mobile and they took so long to release the 2.3 update (If they ever did) I went custom ROM and while I can always go custom or flash an unbranded ROM out of the box I could just go to carphone warehouse, etc and buy it unbranded in the first place (For a slightly worse deal) and the fear I feel flashing a brand new phone is quite high
Thanks,
Snowdan.

That would be a first .
Easy to test 3UK will now be on LFB firmware in the UK and available OTA /Kies as an update since last week .##

i can tell you that its not true., i also purchased it on three UK and the firmware it came with was the inital release one which is I9300XXALE8_I9300H3GALE4_H3G which i believe was released in may, i tried to update to the latest one via ota and kies but it kept saying my software is uptodate. which was a lie. i then installed I9300XXALE8 (4.0.4) which is a unbranded version and check on kies and immediately it prompted me for an update I9300XXBLFB (4.0.4) which was released 26 June 2012. I9300BVALE4 (4.0.4) was released 13 May 2012.
i had to change the CSC so that kies would recognize my device and allow updates.
check this thread and video it'll explain all

Thanks for the response guys it sounded unlikely. I will take the non optimal deal and have the unbranded out of the box just to save the upfront effort. Once I start flashing ROM's I find it hard t stop and would like to use this vanilla and unrooted (Hoping for Sky Go ICS support one of these days) for a bit.
Thanks,
Snowdan.
Hi guys,
Just got a notification about an update was thinking it was jelly bean but it was LH1 which was released back in august.
Just wanting to know if everyone got pushed to this update recently or was I just delayed for the last 2 months due to my location of Australia ?
The phone is the international unlocked version so I assumed I should be recieving the updates with those guys.
Either way for jelly bean I can flash it myself im just wanting to know if the delay was from my location ?
Cheers

Most likely, OTA updates are CSC based.
You can always flash it yourself with ODIN and proper ROMs. Jelly Bean is out only for Poland CSC so far.
Cheers.-
CSC is not the update path ..
Generally a rollout is not a worldwide roll out on day one .
Samsung release a rom its handed to the networks /phone providers they decide if and when it will be released .
LH1 was pushed out as a modem update initially for a problem with some UK phones .

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to update to Jellybean on my EE UK S3, however, I have no software update button and Samsung Kies gives me no updates.
Should i speak to T-Mobile/EE?
Thanks.

Tmobile/Orange havent released there 4.1 update yet
Hi,
I`m having the same problem.my workmate has the same phone on the same network (orange) and hes had the jellybean update for a few days now. Im getting really miffed as i got the phone on the day it came out and he got it a few weeks after yet he has the update without a problem.
You`re doing it the hard way.
Use Odin3... easy, fast, and certain to work.
Search the forums on how to upgrade to JB using Odin3.
It has been released on EE, many of my friend already have the jellybean update.
Is there any way to get my system restore button?
Any solutions?
One use Kies two ask your phone provider .
Three join XDA Developers forum .Four try a Samsung forum .
