I have a stock rooted galaxy SII GT-I9100. I live in Italy and samsung has pushed the ICS update to all of Europe but every time I ask the phone for the update it says that none are available. Kies also tells me I have the most current version. Anyone know what's going on here? Here's the info on my phone.
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100CEKI12-CL586309 [email protected] #2
Build: GINGERBREAD.UHKI2
ICS update
Try here there's a Italy update
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
One the ICS update is not fully rolled out .
Two you can try CHECKFUS and see if the firmware for your phone is on the KIES server download it and flash via ODIN .
Or join XDA Developers forum and flash a stock Samsung ICS .

dail *#1234#
check what is your CSC
for exampe, your CSC is : I9100OXXLP7 the bold text is your CSC,(OXX)
if your CSC is not one of these CSCs for which Samsung has rolled out ICS, you will have to wait for KIES update otherwise do as JJE advised, or flash eligible ROM with CSC already rolled out...

Hey guys,
I am very new to android and this forum as well
I bought my sgs2 outright from Optus Telechoice, and recently i upgraded its firmware via Kies.
This is the firmware information shown in Kies whenever the phone is connected with usb:
PDA:KG1 / PHONE:KF3 / CSC:KG1 (OPS)
it says this is my current and the latest firmware.
*NEVER rooted my phone before, phone was shipped with KE7 if not mistaken.
Ok my question starts here, i've been reading forums for quite a while, and i notice that very few user have the same firmware as mine. i wonder why?
First of all, I heard that the official 2.3.4 firmware has been released via KIES, i really like to get the update but KIES said my current firmware is the latest.
I read this sentence from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
saying that:
These packages below are not official firmware packages, they are Frankenstein package created due to demand for Firmware with different CSC and modems. KIES will not recognise the firmware so you won't be able to update to new firmware using KIES unless you flash back to a firmware meant for your device first. Otherwise there will always be Odin to use for updates
and i found the exact same firmware version as shown in my KIES:
Optus OPSKG1 CSC: http://www.multiupload.com/EPWZTIMS1F
which proves that my current version is a kind of so called
+++++++[Frankenstein Firmwares]+++++++, which may restrict me from receiving the latest firmware.
As mentioned from the above, 'KIES will not recognise the firmware so you won't be able to update to new firmware using KIES unless you flash back to a firmware meant for your device first.'
In this case, which firmware is meant for my device?!
* I really wanted to get rid of the Optus bloatware by flashing the stock firmware PLUS get the latest official update 2.3.4 rolled out by KIES.
Can anyone please teach me how and what to do? appreciate that and thanks in advance to any who reply me.
*i am an adroid newbie pls bear with me!

CORRECT
First of all, I heard that the official 2.3.4 firmware has been released via KIES, i
NO
i notice that very few user have the same firmware as mine. i wonder why?
Because they have flashed a later version via ODIN of stock Samsung firmware that may be a leaked version .
which proves that my current version is a kind of so called
+++++++[Frankenstein Firmwares]+++++++,
No not if you updated via Kies you are not understanding the post .
In this case, which firmware is meant for my device?!
The one you have on it is the latest for your device as installed by Kies .
I really wanted to get rid of the Optus bloatware by flashing the stock firmware PLUS get the latest official update 2.3.4 rolled out by KIES.
One Samsung path and wait for 2.3.4 to be rolled out by your network via Kies .
Or two unofficial method of updating firmware using stock Samsung firmware flashed via Odin.

Hi,
First of all thank you for the replies.
are you sure the official 2.3.4 hasn't come out via KIES?
I read some posts regarding the official release though.
Once again from my understanding, my kind of firmware (PDA:KG1 / PHONE:KF3 / CSC:KG1 (OPS)) is actually released by Optus via KIES, it is actually more like the OPTUS (and australian phone carrier) version of this firmware, thats why there are few users compared to the majority.
So what u mean is even though others (non-optus user) might get the update BUT i have to wait for OPTUS itself to roll out the update via KIES, right?
Okay lets not talk about official 2.3.4.
AND one more thing, i would really like to remove the Optus bloatware by flashing STOCK firmware via Odin, but i have no idea which STOCK firmware i have to choose from. i'm aware that there are a lot of stock firmwares available from the link provided above, but which is the appropriate as well as the latest STOCK firmware for my unit.
Since my current firmware is PDA:KG1 / PHONE:KF3 / CSC:KG1 (OPS), obviously it is a Optus-based firmware, so which STOCK firmware do i have to choose from? what is the 'stock version' for my current firmware as listed from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
i am really stuck here. Hope you understand my situation.
Thanks once again mate

Why can't I update firmware through Kies. Everytime I check it says "This is the latest firmware". It seems everyone else has had the option to update with kies for a while now, so why not me? Im on vodafone uk.
Current firmware:
Gingerbread 2.3.3
PDA:KG2
PHONE:KG1
CSC:KE2 (VOD)
Thanks

Garbage some have updated some phone providers have not updated and probably will skip 2.3.4 as 2.3.5 is rolling out .
for a while now, so why not me? Im on vodafone uk.
You need to ask Vodafone or take phone to Vodafone service centre see if they have an update .Vodaphone update the firmware and push it to Kies server .

Mostly but not always it all depends upon the phone supplier .
Thats why most XDA members go down the unofficial route and many are running KI3/8 2.3.5 .

Thanks JJEgan for your help.
As I got a vodafone branded sgs2 (locked with vodafone) would flashing XWKI8 or XXKI3 from Intratech's rom page be ok?
I read somewhere you should only flash unlocked phones.
I currently have my phone rooted with unsecure BUKG2 stock kernel, other than that its untouched from purchase.
Hi
I've got a Galaxy s2 (good thing really being in this forum)
It's currently running 2.3.4 on XWK14 (official) flashed from the official roms thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 (not the frankenstein part) with the XEU CSC (UK)
There are so many threads with this rom that rom at the moment I'm finding it hard to keep track of which ones are official and which aren't.
Kies says no update available, sammobile says there is I think.......
What I want to know is what is the current up to date ROM for the Galaxy S2 in the UK (unbranded) XEU CSC seems to be thr right one.although again I see things like XEUKD1 etc being posted - all a bit confusing!
From the official roms thread the one I have would appear to be the most up to date verion but please correct me if wrong
Fact the forum does state offical Rom clearly and if you look you'll see 2.3.6 to date. Fact that you may not be getting any update via kies may be your running a older version of kies go to samsung homepage and manual install the current version from the once install connect fone and take it from there.. And you should at least get 2.3.5 but hey just flash a firmware using odin and your done easy..
I know your after a UK based firmware.
thanks
I've had a look through yes I can find 2.3.6 but not for uk, I must be blind!
I will try the kies route - I like to stay as close to official as I can, If I can't get kies to provide 2.3.5 do you have a link to an official 2.3.5 xeu rom?
U have KK5 for uk.....am using that one...its 2.3.6
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
where
I can't see it listed under the stock roms is it the frankenstien one you mean?
XWKK5
Android 2.3.6
This package has: PDA: XWKK5| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: XEUKH2

yes.....or u can use the original KK2.....am using KK5...
Hit thanks if helped....
Hi,
I am sorry if this is a repeat question......
I have a S2 from Saudi Arabia with CSC: KSA (UAE).
I want to change CSC to INU (India).
1. How can I do this?
2. Will I get official ICS India update through kies after I update the CSC?
use odin and flash official rom for india
Try csc changer from market. But it will reset your phone.

Does official rom for India means CSC, PDA and Phone or it is just one of them?
Also is it possible that I flash official GB 2.3.6 India rom and get official India ICS update from KIES?
Yes Odin package is whole stuff.
Yes you can also go that root, GB to ics via kies.
But Odin is better.

Flash official ICS via Odin, go to sammmobile.com click the firmwares tab then the smartphone link,then the Android link, then your phone model and finally your region.
Find the latest firmware for your actual location India or India and sub Continents, you will need to register to download it, then use Odin to flash it.

Thanks
Thanks guys......it worked like peice of cake...... though after I updated to indian 2.3.6 version through kies said you cannot get updates through kies.....but I updated again to Indian ICS version (thanks to sammobile)......and it works fine....even kies is not giving any error now.....
Hello.
I'm a new owner of a Samsung Galaxy S3 and I need your help.
If I connect my phone to Kies then the folowing text is displayed:
PDA: LF5 / PHONE: LF5 / MODEM: LF2 (VDH).
Then if I go to check the last software for the VDH models, on samsung firmware site, a new version (4.1.1) apears.
My question is why this update does not apear on my phone or on Kies?
I curently have the 4.0.4 firmware on my phone.
Thank you.
Reason
The phone you have has not been updated .
Check with your phone provider or use CHECKFUS to download any firmware and update .
Or download from this Samsung site you claim has your firmware .
