I just flashed my 10.1 p7500 with the kk4 stock firmware I downloaded from the other post, thinking that when the samsung ICS comes out, I can update it using KIES. But KIES said that it wasn't updateable thru it.
Does anyone have a firmware that would be updateable thru KIES?
Hello,
I cannot answer your question, as kind of a newbie as well...
So hoping someone reads, maybe can also help me, as I have same issue.
I installed stock firmware "P7500OXAKI1_P7500XXKI1_P7500XXKI1" downloaded from SamMobile.
This to get my Singapore model become a Europe model with all languages there.
I did not root the system first, so hope that is okay.. Everything seems to work fine.
But, if I try to update on the Galaxy Tab itself, it says there is a 99Mb update available?? Is it safe to download and install this on the tablet directly? Or will it like block my tablet?
Thanks guys
Hi guyz
I bough this phone from UAE and using it in Sri Lanka. I have been waiting so long to update ICS on my phone via KIES. seems like it will not be appeared any soon. So now i want to flash my ROM and install ICS on my phone. I saw so many compatibility issues when trying to install non compatible version. Please tel me which is the best and similar ICS rom for XXKPI4 version.
Thanks in advance
Hi All,
I am new to this forum and new to android world.
I have purchased unlocked Optus Samsung Galaxy S2 (I9100) from Australia and currenlty i am using it in India with Airtel. My mobile is installed with ICS 4.0.4.
I want Offical Jelly Bean firmware in my mobile.
Can i install Official Jelly Bean Rom released in SPAIN? Will it lock the the mobile after i install this ROM?
Or If i need to wait for Jellybean to realese in my region, Did i able to update Australian Version or Indian Version of Jellybean ROM or only the OPTUS version of ROM through Samsung Kies?
Please help me on this request.
Thanks,
Arun Panneerselvam
yes, you can install the jellybean from spain and no it will not lock your phone.
The choice is up to you. You try one of the custom roms on this site or wait for an official version through kies.
Updating kies may not happen this year because the roll out for jelly bean wil be uneven, no one knows what countries will get and when or if they will get jellybean at all.
Before installing you have to root your device,
then check and search on internet for your original rom (it could be useful if you need to send it to assistance in warranty)
If the phone is branded usually official updates came from carriers ,and often they need more time to release update after the unbranded is released since they want to put on it their customizations

What the devil are you talking about? You don't need to root in order to install the stock Samsung Jelly Bean firmware.

AFAIK the software update from samsung is for Jellybean v4.1.2.
Any OTA update will unroot ur phone for sure
PS- and do keep in mind not to create multiple threads for each of ur issue, rather update the same thread

It works. Just did it. 4.0.4 is what's important there. Mine is brand new with uvmb1 & now it's rooted
