You dont have to root your phone. Go to www.sammobile.com, find a stock ics firmware you want and then flash through odin.

You get update via kies. Just make sure xxlq5 isnt the one with a warning triangle in samfirmware...

LQ5 and LPM are leaked ROMs. Don't flash it. Especially you're using stock kernel.

hi
I have a Galaxy SII and wanted to know how i can update the firmware.
my current version is
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband: I9100XXKDJ
I read that there is a new version available for GAlaxy S II which has some improvements for batteries.
I tried using Kies but no firmware upgrade is showing up
mine is an unbranded phone. I bought this in Germany if this might help
Thanks and looking for your support
Use Odin and flash the latest KE7..guide and download here

But it will erase all your data, right?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
No, it shouldn't. But I believe the update is for UK handsets only. Can't swear to it, but worth checking
Thank you will try odin. Since this is my fist android phone i didn't want to mess around much. But will try
Ok it shouldn't but you do have to make a factory reset in order to get the XEU CSC working and that will wipe your phone, won't it?
just bothering with that because without root there is no backup and kies is too stupid to have a simple button that says "backup"
Factory reset wipes your data, you for XEU CSC in above referred thread

I know there are a number of "Debranding" threads but I really don't want to brick my SGS2. I've not quite had my SGS2 for a week but am guessing I have an old firmware which is Vodafone branded, I want to debrand my SGS2 so I can get more recent updates but this is all new to me. I'm not new to Android as I had a Rooted and BL unlocked SE X10i but it's the differences in firmware etc of the SGS2 which confuses me.
This is my "About phone" info:
Model number
GT-I9100
Android version
2.3.3
Baseband version
I9100BUKG1
Kernel version
[email protected] #2
Build number
GINGERBREAD.BUKG2
Am I right in saying this is older firmware and if I flash it with Odin it will debrand my SGS2 and will I be able to get further updates either via OTA or Kies, is the above quoted firmware correct or should I use another??
Thanks for any help, Jason.
Anybody, please??

Root the phone using CF Root and then flash one of the many custom ROMS available, i recommend 'CheckROM Revolution'.
Thanks for the reply fella, I might try a custom ROM at a later date as it's all I used in my Xperia X10i but for now I want to keep my SGS2 stock.
I have flashed a stock ROM.
PDA: I9100XWKI4
PHONE: I9100XXKI4
CSC: I9100XEUKH2
Now when I connect to Kies it says "Unable to update this version" and under CSC it says I9100XEUKH2(VOD) which I'm assuming means vodafone?
I even flashed a generic XEUKH2 CSC package hoping it would remove the VOD and Kies would be able to update my phone, still the same though.
Any advice please??
Swyped from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
So after more reading I think I've found the issue, it's my SGS2's product code? (I9100LKAVOD)
Pretty sure I know the answer to this but is there any way to change the product code??

To change csc type *#272*IMEI# and it should allow you choose csc, please note this will wipe your phone, not 100% sure but I think it wipes your storage aswell so please check and back everything up
Thanks but will this remove the VOD product code so I can update via Kies??
Swyped from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Solved it, once the ROM had been flashed with Odin you need to do a factory reset via recovery!
I'm now running XEU CSC and Kies recognises my phone and now does not say "cannot be updated".
WARNING- A FACTORY RESET WILL WIPE ALL USER DATA, BACK UP OR DO A NANDROID BACK UP. I did an advanced data restore via CWM, worked like a charm.

Don't know why you unbranded, vodafone has the latest updated before unbranded phones, xeu is still waiting for 2.3.5
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Not when I started this thread, I was on 2.3.3 and no update available. I'm happy with a debranded/unbranded phone, am running 2.3.4 atm and I'm sure Sammy will release 2.3.5 soon and if not I can either flash a Vodafone branded ROM or a Frankenstein ROM.
Typical though, I solve this and Vodafone comethrough. Sods law!! lol

Umm , judging by what I'm seeing , I suppose you only ran the "Check for updates" thingy in the Settings ? It only checks if there are any updates available, you have to do the actual updating via PC with an application called Kies. Get it from Samsung official website and follow instructions to get the updates, if any.
Edit : ... or by using Kies Air, but that's something else.

Let's start here.
Your profile says "T-Mobile", with a US flag. So are you sure you are an I9100 user? Or do you actually have an SGH-T989, which is the T-Mobile USA variant of Galaxy SII?
FYI, this is the I9100 forum, which is a completely different model of phone than the T-Mobile USA variant.
I'm form poland and i'm in t-mobile. And i'm sure i have SGH-I9100 -.- And i want to make phone stock to kies compatibile with it.

Ah, good, you changed your flag.
Unfortunately, a lot of the links in Intratech's thread are for multiupload, which has been shut down.
However, you should be able to download a stock firmware for Poland from samfirmware.com. Flash that, and you should be good to go.
ok ill try
By the way - I hope you meant "GT-I9100"... as there is no such model as "SGH-I9100".
I downloaded from that site the newest rom for my country and kies says my device isn't operating kies update.

So you flashed an ICS firmware (4.0.3) already. Flash to a 2.3.6 firmware if your want Kies to update it to ICS for you.
ok ill try
So if i have current version (ICS) this is the same as i would update it by kies ?

*sigh*
My point here, was you have to be precise on model numbers.
GT-I9100 is not the same as GT-I9100G, is not the same as GT-I9100P, is not the same as GT-I9100T.
I9100G cannot use the same firmwares as any of the other three.
I9100P can use I9100 firmwares, but will lose NFC if you do (unless you re-enable it via a mod)
I9100T can use I9100 firmwares, but will probably have to flash a modem optimized for Tesltra to get good signal afterwards.
If you start telling people you have an "SGH-I9100", no one will know what you have, or be able to help you.

Yes to this, most likely
If you have Galaxy S2 I9100 (International Version) you can flash it via ODIN.

Go to sammobile website (try to use Google if you don't know the link), find the firmware for your phone, download it, download Odin if you don't have it already, then flash using odin, be careful about which regional firmware you flash, or else you might have no network after installing.
For downloading and instructions on using Odin please use the search option in the forum, detailed steps are given by many helpful people.
Hope I helped.
