You may have already heard of the impending JB update for your stock S2, that is, if you're the "stock guy". But don't you ever feel you want new Android earlier? Are you considering to "prison break" your Android? Get to the polls and share your thoughts.
PS: The jelly bean update has only surfaced on few carriers/regions. This post refers to jb update via Kies or OTA.
^^ "prison break" = modify(mainly rooting/flashing)
The jelly bean update is out its xxls8 have a look around open your eyes you may find it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113489 also this isn't an ipone you don't jail break/ prison break you root and I'm fairly sure that you can just install the stock jelly bean ROM from stock recovery without root
What's the point of this thread
Never ever without root!
Terrible. Totally useless thread. Please don't do this ever again.

is jelly bean update support galaxy s2
Your first post on XDA is this?
Brilliant. Always good to see productive new members.
No. But peanut brittle does.
Must you treat newbies like this?
No, our device don't have 4.1 update.
Still waiting for Samsung to unveil their list of eligible devices for the upgrade: http://www.tweaktown.com/news/24750...evices_will_get_jelly_bean_upgrade/index.html
I have little faith of SGS2 getting the 4.1 upgrade though. Since Samsung already denied upgrade for just a 4.0.4..
Please refer to here for any and all JB discussion.
It has been long time since google released jelly bean. I do not know what is wrong. I am from Bangladesh but still I have no FOTA(firmware over the air) or even samsung kies says it is the latest version. There should be jelly bean to every S3 according to me, by now. I tried changing CSC and I had only one option without the default one. The problem persists. Any solution would be a great help. I do not want a custom rom.
You can ask Samsung you can go to a service centre or a Samsung forum .
You can wait for your update just like others , Though has you have been messing with CSC and might have f4444 up your download path .
Or you can flash a stock rom or any none custom rom via CHECKFUS ..
BASICS

If you have ICS installed now I suggest you to stay with it. Many people who get jelly bean also get a battery drain problem and laggy interface.
Personally, I regret that I have installed Jelly Bean (in Lithuania). Only way to get back to ICS is to root device and flash official ICS rom, and lose your warranty. :crying:

Should be 1st quarter 2013
It will be released OTA eventually because it is on the 4.2 update list.
this is a quote from that same site:
"The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean out of the box which means that an upgrade to Android 4.2 Jelly Bean is virtually guaranteed. Rumors peg the roll out as taking place in the first quarter of next year though Samsung remains mum on the subject. In any event, owners of the latest phablet from Samsung need not worry about Android 4.2. It will be out at some point"

I'm sorry but i'm kinda new to the android world, and recently i've acquired a Samsung S2. But i'm having some troubles regarding some stuff.
I've noticed Jellybean has already a scheduled release to february in Singapore.
I know that ICS is android 4.0.
My question is, Jellybean is 4.1.2 or 4.2.1 ? im kinda confused tbh
Jelly bean is both its android 4.1 up android 4.1 was the first jelly bean and 4.2 is the next version with a widget lock screen and better clock and keyboard

You could have answered this very easily without any effort yourself without creating a topic.
Just from a simple google search of "Android jelly bean" the first result very clearly tells you that JB is Android 4.1
http://www.android.com/about/jelly-bean/
XDA rule #1 is search before creating a topic.
Also, there is 4.2.2 to be released

and after that they released the official jelly bean update and also the mean Bean and severals other custom ROM based on the jelly bean.
now i have the time to play with my phone and i really want to make my experience with android , especially with this EVOLTE better.
please advice me , is it better for me to update to the stock jelly bean ?
or install other Custom ROM that are based on jelly bean?
or stay in this stock ICS ?

Unlock your bootloader.. Get root.. Then u deff want to get s-off.. Then i would flash meanbean best rom for this phone:good: There are many guides on here in the dev section..
I would recommend that you go with one of the custom ROMs. The developers generally fix issues that are in the stock ROMs. Before you jump in, I would also recommend that you do a lot of reading. Are you rooted and unlocked? If not, here is a good place to start:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2026938
Your experience in customizing your phone will go a lot smoother if you achieve S-OFF. There are currently two methods that can be used:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964309
Once you are S-Off, you'll want to adjust your firmware:

Once your firmware is up to date, you can flash a new ROM. I am a big fan of Viper4G, Operation Jelly Bean and JB Tranquility.

While I like Jelly Bean, if you want to stay with Ice Cream Sandwich, Bad Seeds and Team Anonymous have fun ICS ROMs (along with Team Venom).
Once again, I would highly encourage you to do a lot of reading. While it is not that difficult to customize your phone, your experience will be much better if you take the time to learn about what it is you are actually doing to your phone, what could go wrong, and how to fix issues that may arise. Good luck!
yeah, you'll definitely wanna get S-off. It's the easiest way to update radios and such without having to RUU. You said you now have extra time , so just read up as much as you can about the process. There's a thread in the original Dev section. I don't use htc./sense ROMs, but from what I've read, battery life is worse than ICS (on sense ROMs), and a lot of people don't like some of the changes made to sense in the JB update (I tried it for a minute and immediately hated the new battery use reporting, there's less info). After unlocking bootloader, and hopefully S-offing, I would suggest trying out PACman ROM by jamieG71 . It's a very solid AOSP (not HTC) ROM with tons of customization possible. And great battery life, especially when paired with ThickLizards komodo kernel.
Good luck, have fun
From my Evo LTE, yup.
okay
thx for the responses.
im totally stock, no root, no unlocked.
purelly stock, never did any upgrade since i bought this.
so i need to root first ? unlocked the bootloader ? or S-Off first ?
