i dont find any third party app yet,
Why cant you upgrade to ICS, stable versions are already out...
make sure which model you have from under the battery slot, I9100G or I9100

mine is I9100 not I9100G..
can you please provide the easy installation link for upgrading GB to ICS?

better you learn basics first from the sticky threads, to know rooting, flashing, stock roms, custom roms etc...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442549
Official update is through Keis only,
apart from the Kies update, you can manually flash official ICS roms through ODIN software,
There are many custom ROMs available in this forum, which can be flashed from the Recovery of your Phone, but for that first you need rooting+CWM on your phone.
Keep in mind that Rooting, flashing another Kernel & Rom will void your waranty.
let me know which way you need to upgrade to ICS

i want to do using official update as you mentioned via kies..
what is the procedure for that?becoz i dnt want to spoil my warranty
you are very helpful for me..
thank you friend for helping a newbie in android world...

samsung has not rolled out the ICS for complete regional wise previouse versions of the GB yet,...
first of all you have to check your firmware version, to know whether your version is among the eligible list of firmwares samsung released the update for...
you can use the "Check Fus" application from market for this...

sorry..showing here this one is the latest firmware..

sorry then you will not get through Kies,
what is your firmware datails?
dail *#1234#

Pda-i9100jpkj2
phone-i9100xxki4
csc-i9100ojpkj1

yes this is Middle east version, for which the ICS update has not been released yet.
only the options for you are to wait or flash update mannualy as I described above...

so just wait for some-days,if nt comng the official update i may go to the flashing
thank you friend..

one more doubt..
why my status in gtalk not showing robot?so others can understand i am in mobile..

I dont remember the settings of old talk,
now I can see a setting in my version (4.0.3) Menu/settings/your account/tick mobile indicator...

Android symbol is ok now.thanks

Will root be romoved if updated using kias (pc)?

Will doing an update from kias from pc, basically I think its a firmwire update, will it remove root from my phone?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
If you're rooted kies won't let you update. You would have to unroot and then upgrade with kies which is probably not worth the hassle as the custom roms on xda are probably far better than what is available on kies.

Its my first android phone, and I hear cyanogen does not fully support SGS2 yet, and that it does not have hardware acceleration. So if ice cream sandwich is released, how can I update? I heard 2.3.6 or 5 is already out for SGS2.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Most of the custom roms on xda are 2.3.6. Cyanogen will probably release ics first and then you will see it appear on xda. There are a couple of ics developer leaks but they are buggy. It could be as late as April before you see an official release mybe longer for some carriers.

Why ? My SGS2 rooted using zergrush method connects flawlessly to Kies, and software version is displayed correctly. I think that if phone is only rooted and not flashed with some PDA/PHONE/CSC combination that is unknown for KIES it can be upgraded this way, but of course root will be lost, so IMHO Mobile Odin with everroot will be far better way.
@marcadam: wat is ics?
@slig: wat is everroot? Is it like u wont loose root ever again? How do I get that?
Sorry im still kinda new to android, after days of research I found n used cfroot to root my fone... Didnt try any other sort of hack yet...
Thanks alot both of u...

1. Root will be lost, if you flash a new rom (unless its a non-wipe rom)
2. ICS(Ice Cream Sandwich) is the newest android version, also called "Android 4.0".
3. "Mobile Odin with everroot" he mentioned is an app that is installed on your phone, wich does exactly the same as the flashing Software(Odin) on your computer, wich you used, to flash a custom rom.
4. I don't suggest, updating with Kies, because many people reported, that it bricked their phones.
I suggest, that you flash CWM(Clockworkmod Recovery) on your phone, and use that(Its the most popular way to update/flash/backup/restore a ROM).

Is it possible to flash stock Samsung roms via CWM ? I thought that CWM is for flashing customs, original stocks can be flashed only by Odin (or Kies).
If the rom is made for flashing with CWM then yes. (Most rom's are made for flashing with CWM) if you can't find a cwm compatible stock version, then i can upload you one I made(newest stock version 100% stock).

No you lose nothing in KIES and dependant upon codes you may even get an update .
But why root unless an app requires root .

[Q] I'm a Noob with an Optimus One to update...

Ok I just started blogging on XDA and I have and Android phone which is obviously the LG OPTIMUS ONE.But unfortunately this phone isn't getting an official update from Gingerbread to Ice Cream Sandwich.So as I have seen on the internet many times does anyone know any good ROMs I can use?Please give the best possible one and latest one.And when telling me tell me anything that does not work.Apparently cameras and volume doesn't work on some so hopefully those bugs go.And while telling me add in how to download it and where with a link.Thanx!
go for gtr 5.0 download link on first page always follow instructions or you will end up with a brick also make sure your on the right baseband http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529777
Ok so the above is ICS right and what version e.g 4.0.3 etc. And are the instructions for downloading hard as I'm not too good with getting these updates AND are there any downsides for this ROM?I'm happy that camera works and volume too just need a clarification.

It should have the option in Settings/About device/Software update, but should use Kies anyway, and latest UK version is 4.0.4

As previously suggested, try other firmware. Forget Kies, its crap and only check for updates for your specific firmware, not elsewhere.
Try the link above i posted or http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9300here for newer releases.
Just follow the guide by Intratech (he also has some official firmware) for flashing with Odin. Could not be simpler. Just backup anything to PC before hand, and then follow instructions exactly.

really appreciate your help with this but just have a couple more questions
i assume that with odin i can flash any of the firmwares and it dosent matter that my phone is locked to orange (well i believe it is). The phone itself has no orange branding or apps installed.
The other thing i am not sure about is which firmware i should use for a uk handset on orange. If i use a generic firmware will that cause problems with the radio's etc?
The other thing is how do i know what the latest is...i mean i might already have it on my device....it says i have 4.04 on it but are there various versions of this?
Sorry if it seems im being lazy about this but just want to be sure i am using the right one.
thanks again for your help

I believe so, should be same as SGS2. Phone lock should be "sim" lock not locked bootloader.
You can flash the modem or kernel as individual packages if need be.
In phone dialer, *#1234#
Ie. Firmware ending in LE7 is older than LE8
Don't forget to backup anything important to PC first. Best to factory reset first in recovery and then immediately boot into download mode to flash. Follow Intratech guide exactly and shouldn't be a problem.
Just make sure you flash any full package as .tar.md5 file. Zip won't work with Odin.
For thanks if you feel like it

Still no jelly bean for me? :(

I have unbranded galaxy s3 i9300...
Still running android 4.0.4
baseband version: I9300XXLF
Any idea why there is no OTA jelly bean for me yet?
Also,any idea if it should be even available for me ?
Updates are dependent on many factors, including where you live.
Ask Samsung directly
Or root and take control.
Good luck
When it comes to rooting - I'm a total rookie..
Where I can ask samsung about it ?
It's not difficult to root s3
Take an hour, a pc
Search s3 thread for root kit, it's all explained and semi automatic there
Odin is included in above and will be used to root in seconds.
Make sure you understand what you will be doing, follow steps properly. An hour should be enough to read and do rooting
If you need to ask Samsung, go to their website, check contact us section for your country.

press thanks if I helped you
relatively, you can go to sammobile.com and download the latest official jb firmware..
but take not that the updates also depend on the region are currently in.. so if let's say you download the Polish JB firmware, and you are not from Poland... then you won't have to get OTA updates.. you have to update your phone manually
Cheers!

That's very odd... Heard of a solution?

[Q] Rooted S3 problem

I'll be as straight to the point as I can
I bought a SGS3(i9300) it had ICS when I wanted to update It always said"No update available" and I tried OTA and Kies nothing got me the update to JB
so I went back to the place I bought it from he told me you're not gonna get the update because of where your device was made or something like that(Although I have friends who had the same device, bought it from the same place and they got the OTA update)
anyway He told me he will get me the JB by rooting...I was so eager to get the JB update I said ok...he did it
now I have a rooted device with this build number(JZO54k,I9300XXelk4)(it says its the stock rom when I googled it....I guess)
The problem is I want to get rid of this rom go back to stock and get the official update to JB from samsung via OTA maybe so that it will give me updates if any are available soon(The s4 features they were talking about)because now when I try to check for updates it says your device is modified
Another question is if I want to change to a custom ROM now what should I do?(I really want to try this Rom which makes the software like of the Nexus 4)(I dont think he backed up the ICS stock one)
Thanks alot and sorry for writing this long article
P.S:Yes Im a noob when it comes to rooting...

there is also a search function and in addition the guide "back to stock" which describes how to get OTA back.
but here again for you: unroot, flash stock, make sure to align the CSC with the firmware version, and it should work.
