Hello!
My friend's I9300 is still stuck on Android 4.0.4 build number IMM76D.I9300JKBLH3.
I want to flash him an updated version using ODIN. I want it to be from the country that get updates the fastest, so he would always be updated as he don't know how to use ODIN, and he is afraid.
So, what is the best build to flash right now?
He needs Hebrew to be available for the stock keyboard. No need for full UI translation.
Thanks!
No country gets fastest update .
All you can say is Europe generally in front of the rest of the world .
Exact roll out varies .
Hebrew would be your first item for a firmware version .

I mean first to be released, and not fast as Google...
So any European version will be good? Which one would you recommend?
Thanks!
There is not faster countries than other, but in general Europe countries get updates first.
Any country will be good.
Im using 4.1.2 from Israel (PDA:I9300XXELL4 CSC:I9300OJKELK9)
Poland was the first one to release Jellybean (4.1.1)
But wasn't the first one to release 4.1.2
Is your friend from Israel too?
Cause Israel already released 4.1.2
For several phone companies

What country is stuck in 4.0.4, I am sorry but I can't find any.
Plug in KIES and check.. maybe his CSC and other settings don't match.

Why laggy? They are 3 Versions: 1 for unbranded and 2 for branded phones.
I think they all both the same. The difference are only the branded apps.
Please correct me if i did something wrong

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.

You can wait i have tried 2.3.4 only gtalk with video. nothing speacial!

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 .

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.

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.

Hi,
I have a stock rom from the UK, I've just updated my phone and I see that I got android 2.3.4 now.
Where are all the changes? And where is the hebrew that was supposed to be on the new android? Is this really the final version we were all waiting for?
Thanks

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

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.

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.

https://twitter.com/samkiesupdates has a pretty nice overview of what phones have Kies updates available.
It really is out!
JellyBean really is out but the bluddy thing won't install for me!!!
See screenshot here for confirmation- http://i45.tinypic.com/160al46.jpg
I tried to install it last night via my Windows 8 and Windows 7 laptops and I have now tried it on my Windows 7 pc at work but it just won't happen!
I get occasional errors that it couldn't get admin rights from the phone, and now it seems to be Kies itself that's knackered with KiesPDLR crashing.
I got my phone from Mobi-city.co.uk. It came from Hong Kong but seems to be the European version. None of this should matter though, as if Kies is offering me the firmware then surely it has recognised that my phone is one of the ones that should get it!
Really annoyed!!!
well that poland seems like test 1

Thanks. I just found a forum with other users experiencing exactly the same as me, so at least I know enough to get on with the rest of my life. ah well, false alarm on the JellyBean front. Sorry folks.
Thanks everyone. You guys cleared my doubts i knew i could count on xda and its members.
Should be this month, apparently... although it's hardly the first rumour with a confirmation from Sammy with no official release date.

I dont know if this polish version is really an official but i have been using jelly bean on a note II and ny feeling is that it is smoother and less bug in the note II

Apparently the Polish version is a test release, (release candidate) I would assume there is a note in the terms and conditions stating it may contain bugs. not 100% sure on this.
So we could get that exact same version when it eventually rolls out to the rest of the EU, or it could be a bug fix version, either way it's obviously close to a full EU release and nothing much will be different if anything.
Personally I'm just waiting for the official EU release, but if you can't wait, there's no harm in installing the Polish version (providing you follow the relevant directions of course)
i also have the I9300XXLH1 baseband and no new updates i realy hope the final jb rom will have the multi tasking that the note II got 2 days ago

Hi everyone
I am confused with this problem that I have: I bought Samsung Galaxy S3 international version GT-i9300. Now, I live in Australia. My question is, when I go to my phone to check software update or Samsung Kies to check software update, which will be visible/show up/ be downloaded to my phone? The latest version for International SGS3 OR the latest version for Australian SGS3?
Confusing isn't it?
So long story short: when there is a new update, which one is it? Is the software/firmware update based on the country of purchase (In this case, international version) or where I am living (Australia)?

It is not so much the intentional but the firmware Version, e.g. uk, Australian etc., you can find it under settings about phone. If your firmware is e.g. The uk version and stock you will get UK otas.
