any chances that s2 get 4.2.1 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I know 4.1.2 isnt out for a long ..some countries still not got it but i was wondering ..could we get 4.2.1 just want to know what your guys think iam just curious.
technical it is possible the device can handle jelly bean pretty good plus there a a lot of s2 out there and the s2 plus cant be cut of from the updates so soon maybe they bring the updates to the internationale device too...just my thoughts )

Nobody knows for sure but Samsung, so asking here won't give you a clear answer. But the chance we will ever receive official 4.2.x is very small.

I dont think man S2 is the only Gingerbread /2011 phone which got 4.1.2 . Samsung did a great job with updating .

if the galaxy nexus gets it we'll get it.

You don't have it yet? Use the "factory reset" while dunking your tablet in a bucket of icewater and the download will start.
Just kidding. Welcome to XDA. You're going to have a much better time here if you learn to use the "search" function before you post. The answer to your question is in many, many threads here. But since you're new, I'll give you a hint: nobody knows.

I agree with you,,Samsung never let us to know bout pics update''if you want feel the pics,,use in official rom
It was planned for May, but then Samsung decided to release Galaxy Tab 2 with the only major difference being ICS. So the planned update for the original tab was delayed until end of Q2 to help Tab 2 sales.

Please don't let another thread go this direction. If you want to tell this story, provide links to reputable sources in which Samsung (not some third party) has stated a release date for ICS for the GT10.1. If you don't have links, please stop making this stuff up.
At present there isn't even an official Samsung leak for ICS version of Tab 10.1, that's the reason why only nightly custom ROM's are available. Usually it takes still time after a leak arrived.

A single blog post? Come on now, if Samsung had promised something, don't you think you would be able to find at least one actual news outlet that carried the story?
Well... they did. And the blog post you linked to misquoted it. It took me 10 seconds to figure that out (hint: just google a line of the text). Nobody from Samsung has ever given a date for the release of ICS on the Galaxy Tab 10.1. Whether that's a good business practice is dubious, but claiming that they said something they didn't--and quoting a badly written blog post as proof--is lazy and increases the amount of misinformation floating around this forum...
Hmm still no update on this?

Everything should be in the speculation thread.

Just for fun I keyed into Samsung Live Chat and asked when 4.0 was coming out. I got some robot named Arnold who basically said:
"I'm sorry to inform you that there is no information available on an update for your device. Watch our website and STFU"
So it's gone from UK/Ireland and then the rest of the world to "we don't know sh*t". Sigh...back to beating the crap out of my ADW launcher

Tempted. Seriously tempted. Here's my thing...I'm a big time rookie and a victim of the "rolling recovery" disease that is flying all over the place in this forum. I've looked everywhere on all of the recommended threads and have investigated all kinds of tidbits but can't find a whole lot of consistency with regard to a potential answer to my question. I started a new thread in the Q&A here about it and would consider that for SURE if I could just get my recovery back to where I can read it so I can do a simple root.
You're probably laughing at my green ass and that's OK. I'm just hoping someone will have pity on me so I can finally start playing with this thing the way I want to.

YES, the 'G' version will also get The official JB update ma8
Well, that's great news, thanks , anyway i don't yet have the phone but i'm planning too and the normal I9100 is no longer available, and actually i think this's the most suitable phone for my needs as long it's getting the new JB update coz i do care too much about software updates
Why are you not getting the plain gt-i9100.Theres a lot of pissed off people that own the g version......especially in India.
Coz it's no more available and i can't find it!!!
Please review the thread's title... It is very misleading.
Actually i'm also getting the t-mobile galaxy s2 T989 unlocked from US, but my plan is to sell it and buy the original SII, also not sure if the t-mobile version is getting the JB update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, I'm doing great with jb leak, so....don't care much about when it's actually rolling out.

Anways, thank for replying.

And you expect anybody here to believe that you used search option before creating this ridiculous thread????
Firstly use search in future we already have plenty of these topics, no need for another.
Second, how on earth do you expect anybody to answer your question if Samsung wont even answer it??
It will be out when its out, simple as that. Any other answer is just simply a guess so you may aswell guess yourself instead of asking others to do it for you.

[Q] how to uninstall cyanogenmod 10 from galaxy s2 i777 trackfone/straight talk

ok..so here's the problem i have a Samsung galaxy s2 i777 from track-phone/straight talk (im not sure what it is...) it was sold to me online i reset the whole phone and this cyangenMod thing keeps coming up when it boots up after the factory reset I don't want it on the phone but i have no idea how to uninstall it or get rid of it. i just want to get the phone back to how it came out of the box like a new phone but i'm at a lost i've tried the oden program and the phone wont connect to it. i don't know what files it needs or what i have to do i'm at a complete and total loss...
if someone could help me out with this it would be a REALLY big help to me thank you to anyone who reads this and an even bigger thank you to the person(s) who help.
Why would you want to get rid of CyanogenMod? It's quite possibly the best thing to ever happen to phones.
Especially if you're running cm10.1, it's 4.2.2

You want to get rid of it? Easy
Option 1: return it to seller, demand s/he send you another one with pure stock firmware on it, not a custom one or request for the refund.
Option 2: reverse back to stock (from CM) yourself. Since you're here, you should have read anyway, so read up those threads especially the stickies and DIY.

The other posters Actually have given you good advice, and it appears that they have pointed you to the place to answer your question! Really!
It sounds like you have a modified Straight Talk phone (please note that the ATT version is I777 and the ST version is S959G. It would be interesting to know whether you have an I777s or S959G).
IF you have an S959G, then your best bet is to check the thread posted down below as Phalanx and the others have mentioned --it's literally below the post you created (several posts below now, just look for the title "Straight Talk SGS2- SGH-S959G" (<- or click on these "straight talk" words)
It may seem frustrating to get a phone that is customized, and right now you just want a phone; However, you actually have one of the nicest and newest roms available for this type of phone!
IF your phone boots CM10.1 and you have the normal android screens, then you have everything that the ST or AT&T company would provide on a "normal" phone, but without some of the junk and advertising that often infects our phones! Try it out! The interface is not that much different from "stock."
Still, if you don't like your phone that way, YOU can fix it and it is not really hard, but just takes some reading and patience to gain understanding of the techniques and processes (learning the principles also is interesting! :laugh
But it will take you at least a few hours of reading, and a bit patience to scan through the Straight Talk links and pages. If you do that you'll see others who have your issue, and also others who turned the issue around to make it a plus!
A modified phone is more of a commitment than a stock phone -but it returns more to the user! Especially if you want to adjust it, enhance it, or appreciate it, you have to put in time.
If that's not for you -perhaps turn it around on ebay. But a working CM10.1 on a Galaxy S2 is a good machine!
Good Luck
Good Luck

[Q] [PROBLEM] Downgrade android

Hello everyone!
So i just registered cuz im seeing alot of activity over here, cuz i could really use some help.
So recently i bought a tablet, it was a **** tablet that i just need for home, to watch movies on, it server its purpose.
The problem is that jellybean doesnt really fit to my standards, i used to have gingerbread (2.3.6) on my old phone, and im really used to it.
Besides, i find jellybean alot more laggier, but then again it might just be the device itself. I constantly keep getting errors and lags, i can cope with that but ALL my apps crash all the time, its just annoying. So i've been browsing the good ol' google on how to downgrade it for 4.2 to 2.3 and all i get is samsung ****, samsung this, samsung that, i dont wanna use samsung updates, might aswell brick my tablet eh? I dont think so.
So here i am, begging for your help PLEASE help me downgrade this cuz im really close to throwing this thing against the wall :/
I just want a clean downgrade to gingerbread nothing else, i dont care about rooting, maybe in the future, if i cant root it its ok, if i can even better.
Just please help me downgrade this thing >.>
The device is of Italian blood, its called BeeX S1, its really an unknown maker, so yeah.
Anyways, thanks in advance guys ;D
P.S. if you could put a reply on the thread, becouse i think i turned off PMs, and just for the sake of simplicity
Sorry man.. Looks like your tablet came preloaded with Android 4.2 and was actually released in the market with jellybean.. So unfortunately u won't find any gingerbread for this.. Even if some people may be able to port it, no one will becoz no 1 generally downgrades their device.. So hard luck for u.. In short u can't have gingerbread for your tablet unless u get extremely lucky..
