I am sorry if this question has already been asked....
I have a UK T-mobile S3 - currently on Stock ICS (not rooted) and want to install Jelly Bean firmware on my phone as t-mobile will take another year before they release their version.
Can anyone tell me which 4.1 firmware i can load on my phone which will be safe without having to root etc? if you can direct me to the right place plz..
Will i still get OTA updates from t-mob or will i have to revert back to ICS to get the update...?
Many thanks
Any firmware can be used and you lose OTA and Kies updates .
Use UK JB makes most sense .

i believe this could be because you may have a unlocked tmobile phone, mine is not unlocked. ive tried to update via kies but nothing.

Each time I connect to kies, it states my sgs2 is up to date, 2.3.3, but I read everywhere on here that your all using 2.3.4, am I doing something wrong
They all are using a version of leaked 2.3.4, which has this and that problem here and there. If you can't wait join them by flashing any 2.3.4 firmware via Odin or if you are in my club then wait for the official release which could be coming any time.
Regards.
You can wait i have tried 2.3.4 only gtalk with video. nothing speacial!
Oh ok, will wait, thanks for the info

How did you get GTalk with video, I just flashed KH3 and my GTalk is still 1.3, no update in the arket and no video support. WTF?
How can I know if there is official europe region 2.3.4. android version for SGS2 or not?
Many of android sites states they have official versions which can be downloaded and installed using odin. Are these available 2.3.4. versions leaked or there are already available for some countries official 2.3.4.? Like me I live in Latvia and there is not available firmware upgrade via kies. but maybe for such large countries like Germany maybe there already is official 2.3.4. And that version then is installed using odin. Am I right or not? Please clarify.

No you are not right .
Official Leaked Samsung firmware is 2.3.4 .
Stock Roms .and csc
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
KIES updates as and when its receives an update from the phone provider .
Nothing to do with the size of the country Latvia should come under Europe firmware release . Its more dependent upon the phone provider .

Guys are you able to do OTA updates without a PC at all?
Maybe why Europe is last to get v2.3.4 , Samsung is busy changing the gallery app.
Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 Android Gingerbread 2.3.4 update is Rolling out NOW (Daily Updated) | Josephws'sBlog | YouMobile
Some areas have gotten KG5 or KG7 2.3.4 roms (both very much like KG6), but not globally, I would bet a lot of it is carriers taking there sweet time.

Yes, and they have to approve the updates to be pushed out via kies.
I got an official update to 2.3.4 from kies, yet i dont have Video Support in Talk... anyone having this problem?
Hi, i got the 2.3.4 update from kies about two weeks ago but i was wondering if anyone has seen any difference since i dont see any, its suppose that my talk should have
Video support yet i dont have i did get a new market but not with the firmware update
Anyone has had the same experience
I found the battery life much improved on 2.3.4. Worth getting an unofficial update in my opinion - kies is hopeless.

Hello
My cousin had a SII and he always ask me about the ICS update. It is not available OTA. Did Samsung had any road map for ICS? My region in Middle East. Anybody know when ICS is coming to Middle East?

I think it was already released. I believe you have to use the Samsung kies software on a PC to update the phone.

Means no ICS yet released for that phone by the phone provider .

THTS THE LAST UPDATE EVEN I GOT ,YET ICS HAS TO COME
Yes, I checked firmware at SamMobile. They didn't wrote the version of firmware but firmware codes match. I guess it GB 2.3.5. Anyways thanks all. and if anybody know the timeline for ICS in different regions, please share.

No this is the one latest available in the middle east....2.3.5 JPKJ2 Not ICS....
Yep, Middle east latest firmware is still Gingerbread JPKJ2 (2.3.5).
Just wait and watch. Hope it won't take much time.
you can ask ur cousin to try custom ics rom roms available here on xda. they are stable and fast. only if he has his phone rooted. rooted phone has its own benefits.. nice tweaks and customization.
just use odin and flash away............. odin with official Firmware of different region is as official as its on KIES for that region

As long as you have an i9100, and not an i9100G, sure. You can use an i9100 firmware from whatever region you want. But once you do, just be aware that you will probably no longer be able to get updates through Kies.
For example, I'm in the US, but my phone originally came from the UK, and it's now currently running a firmware from Poland.

thanks pal.. i think i dont need updates from kies coz i'm stick with xda and always get updates from it
I can do it but my cousin is not similar with this all. He only goes simple way
lol i have a cousin like that but he didnt even want to use kies, for him what comes with the phone is what should be used. so 2.3.3 it is
He's using 2.3.3 also. There is latest gb available via kies butstill not updating.

For which country?
Swyped from my Galaxy SII
Using http://www.samfirmware.com u should set the carrier to middle east -ojb .. Or just find ur country ( the country u bought the phone from )
sent from my SGSII
this may sound like an absolute NOOB Question but i had a rooted S3 and for some reason it was acting terrible
i therefore downloaded a stock firmware from sammobile and flashed it using odin
i was just wondering if i can still get OTA Updates or Kies
i ask this because when i connect it to kies it says "your device does not support upgrading through Kies" ( this is when using the USB cable that came with the phone, but if i use a USB cable that goes with any other phone it says "Current version Etc"

So are you some kind of a wizard ? he didnt state that he was using jellybean. ANY WAYS.
Op, if your using a stock firmware from sammobile then yes you will receive OTA updates.
EDIT : If your device doesn't get detected from kies you probably didn't choose the correct firmware for your phone or the CSC is wrong follow this video to restore it to completely http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=_8Tga_yKywc
You need to download the firmware for your region, then kies will detect your phone.

I flashed the firmware BTU, my S3 is an unlocked version, international and i flashed one of them (not JB)
Please jb now!!
Enviado desde mi GT-I9300 usando Tapatalk 2
I did the exact same thing. Flashed BTU then kies gave me the same error. You need to change your CSC to BTU also. Then you will be able to upgrade via kies or OTA. Be warned though changing the CSC causes a complete wipe of all data and apps etc.

I always just flash the generic UK FW and always get the OTA notification in the notification bar.
Another question:
I have a branded S3 (so not unlocked) and ive flashed the stock LH1 ROM to it, so now my CSC is unbranded (but matches my country)
so my question is, will i get OTA updates in the future?
After connecting to KIES i get the "this is the latest firmware version" message, so not the "your device does not support upgrading through Kies" message.
This means its OK?

If it's stock firmware for your specific device and region, it will work.

I have an unbranded one and I have never got an OTA notification I have to update through Kies (or Odin) never found the problem, went to a service centre and all they said when I show them the error OTA throws out is to reflash (well of course they said they would do it)

Sorry to be a pain but how do i change my CSC? Also, BTU has to be the one im using because all the other options are Ukrange, vodafone Etc :')
I've noticed when you root your device you will not get the ota because your device status is modified

So I got the phone from uk - not tied to any carrier and I see uk got the jelly bean update but I have nothing.
Also a question: I rooted the phone but didnt install roms or anything, will that be a problem for updates or not? Also I am not from uk.

I have an "update" that keeps popping up on my new GS3 on SFR and I don't want to do anything unless it's JB. But I was told you could only really get the update through Kies and I really don't want to install that program.

Like you, I never use KIES. I think this update (JB on SFR) is available OverTheAir. Connect your phone on WiFi and check via Settings/About devices/Firmware update. Lot of improvements on JB. It is very smoth operating system compare to ICS. You can update via ODIN if it's not available OTA. (Official ROM doesn't increase the counter).
Another way although a little harder.... you could download the Rom of Sam's firmware and flash it via Odin. If you have a mac or linux computer you could use a virtual machine considering you have the hardware or you could use a friends PC
Hope this helps

Actually, since I wanted to get rid of bloatware, I was thinking of just ignoring this update and finding myself a JB ROM that is more Vanilla perhaps or at least stock GS3 or Nexus.
