Hi
My 5.0 is running FROYO at the moment because my kies isn't giving me anything to do with Gingerbread. How do I get the Gingerbread update in the Uk?

Here you go
Might try this as I really can't get Kies to work.Is there an alternative method that doesn't use hacking?
Sent from my YP-G70
There's not really any alternative if kies can't give the gingerbread update.
Will have to give this ago, as I am sick of froyo on this device, and sick of kies not giving me an update to gb. Many apps won't play or work until it is on gb, so will give this ago latter thanks.

I was in the same situation as you just before Easter. I then rooted and flashed a GB rom and its been plain-ish sailing since

I am debating to root my new X10 or wait and just install GB. But for you guys who have rooted and custom roms are you going to upgrade to 2.3 when the official release using sony's updater or are you just going to wait for a rom, flash the latest bb and firmware and not use the sony's updater?
I don't see the point of updating with SEUS because I'll end up using custom roms anyway so I'll just wait for roms
Yep, im using seus. Im not waiting for anything! Lol

I will wait for the first custom gingerbread rom based on official gingerbread release.
I do not want to risk my root etc. by updating the official se release with seus....you never know what se has implanted in it to block root.

I will wait for the SEUS because customs ROMS for 2.3 are not yet stable as i have been reading...although they might be faster.
I will update then root when it comes out.
Anyone know of the specific announced date? i read somewhere of 20 July 2011

Of course GB custom roms now are not stable, since they have to use sources from the 2.1 firmware (not to say that they are bad, the devs did what they could to bring out the most of it).
However when the update comes out, we can anticipate some really good 2.3 custom roms.
Seus for sure

I think I'll use SEUS, I don't want to wait.
If root won't be available soon after the release I'll just flash back to my ROM with custom kernel and wait for root and then flash back to 2.3.3
How should we restore our apps with market links without root?
So root is very important.
Updating with SEUS right away. I've already used PC Companion to return to world generic stock 2.1. Can't wait for the update!
I will update thru seus the minute it comes out

No.....
Having to much fun playing around with custom roms and kernals.
If we get root on 2.3.3 I may give it a go, just so I can judge customs roms against it. otherwise custom roms will be better!

yep! same goes for me!
In some countries the update will come way after others, so probably many of us will get first custom roms working 100% than official update!
Right now the only problems in CM7 are driver related, so when SE official releases 2.3 it's just a matter of days, not to say hours, to put this new drivers working on the roms we have right now!
So I will continue in custom roms...

What is world generic stock? how do i know my X10 is world generic stock? i upgraded to 2.1 using SEUS does it make it generic stock? its also rooted
I got an update about 2 days ago on my Xperia Neo (US version). It looks like that the update changed a few things from the UI but I still see the android version as 2.3.3 in my phone and I didn't get any Google talk update or anything else.
I tried to update from the PC companion and it says your phone is up-to-date.
Anyone knows how can I actually get the update?

Try THISONE
and use xda search for help for this.
Always use the search first as there is already threads on this. Good luck getting to 2.3.4. Worth the update.

Hi Guys, my phone has: PDA: KG1 / PHONE: KG1 / CSC: KG2 (XEF)
ANDROID VERSION: 2.3.3
KERNEL VERSION: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKG1-CLlabeltest_I9100XWKG1
my problem is when i run the software update of the phone it say that "NO UPDATE AVAILABLE" I try and with the kies software but tha same.
And know tha 2.3.4 came before a long time ago, and mine is at 2.3.3!!!
What do you suggest me to do?!?!?! to wait if my phone sometime will update?! or to do something else to get the official updates!!!
Thanks.
Well... if what you are talking about are the OTA updates on the phone... then its possible that it wont work because of your carrier, have you tried Kies?... and of course you could always use Odin

Yes i tried kies but it says that i have the latest update (2.3.3)!!!
sorry about the question what is odin?!?!?! ( i am new with android phones)
Well I don't know about what carrier or what country we are talking about. But here in Denmark we had 2.3.4 from KI4 undtil recently where they updated us to 2.3.5 KI8... But it sounds a little extreme for you to be stuck on 2.3.3
Don't update. Go out and play.

What if you don't get an update? I was a stubborn man with the same issue, but I broke when there was no update for my country officially, now if I could do that you also could, rather should update to 2.3.5. I hope you know the Odin method. And of course it's a worth upgrade.
Then install CM7. It's 2.3.7. I think you're big enough to take this decision yourself. If you're not, do a NAND backup, try a ROM and if you don't like it, you revert to your original one.
P.S.: those numbers don't worth much... you won't see a difference.

Thanks very much guys all of you, but i will wait until the end of november and if i don't have an update, o will try to put it alone, but i have to learn a lot of things before i do it!
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

Are you stupid? or just plain retarded?
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.

before any of you start saying use the search function or other whitty comments, i have searched around and have found nothing
so, is there a date for when ics will come to my sgs2 on o2 uk network ?
Since O2 will add some of their own apps it really depends on how long it takes them. You can flash a official build via odin then flash your regions CSC so you can still use Kies.
thank you for your reply
My phone was branded o2. I've debranded it to international software and now waiting for the ICS XEU update

im kinda a noob to android i had a htc hd2 before, so android is different so the new ics to come is not worth the update ? im on 2.3.5 it works just fine ive had my s2 for 2 weeks now with no crashes or any problems
so when the update is available do you reccomend to stay on gb for now ?

I will move from custom GB if and when more customization is ready for ICS specifically JKays apps . All my tests of many ICS roms so far have had one end result restore to GB rom .

One is stock the other is customized in varying ways you need to read each custom roms description .
