Your phone provider will update via KIES eventually .
Or flash stock Samsung rom via ODIN but you need to read the FAQS and GUIDES and understand what you are doing first .

Hi,
Some providers hold back on updating their Android releases (they need time to add their bloatware)... a good was around this is by flashing either a custom rom or a base Samsung one. Flashing is a pretty simple task. I might suggest starting off by reading this thread .... Enjoy
thanks guys for your help.
its a new world and is a bit confusing for me as a new member but i understand some parts and are trying to get more and more.
but what i cant understand is why there are different version of firmware for the same region ? for example : mine is JPKH1 which is arabic and KH1 version and 2.3.3 ! whats the different between JPKH1 and JPKH2 and JPKG5 which all of them are arabic version and 2.3.3 ? and all are official !
please help me with that.
and i'm trying my first changing the firmware and rooting the device hope dont need to buy a new phone after that
thanks again.

if your going to root first dont change your firmware..get a kernel that matches your firmware then fireaway..follow the guide in chainfires thread and once your rooted give me a message to take you to the next step

[Q] Chinese I9108 - Options?

Hi,
I have a new I9108 that I got as I use the China Mobile network for my work contract, I am having great difficulty finding a ROM for this model.
Everyone with Chinese SG S2 seems to have the i9100 version.
Basically, I just want to know if I am stuck with the standard ROM.. if this is the case I will sell the phone as it is so restricted, its frustrating.
Baseband is :I9108ZMKI5
Kernel : 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2
Any help will be appreciated, as there is very little reference to this model aywhere
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

[Q] Rooting my phone BUKJ3

I cant seem to find out how to root my device with this baseband version
Model Number: GT-I9100
Android Version: 2.3.5
Baseband Version: I9100BUKI1
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100BUKJ3-CL647431 [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.BUKJ3
I have seen another post refering to this however somebody replied with a link that doesn't mention BUKJ3 and then the person who posted the thread never said if it worked or not, and i can't even post on the thread to ask if it did so i'd like a pro or somebody whose experienced in rooting this kernel to tell me if it worked
Thank You
