Hi im from the UK and basically i couldnt wait for JB so i upgraded to the official test firmware using odin from here
http://www.sammobile.com/2012/11/15/i9100xxlsj-–-galaxy-s-ii-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean-test-firmware/
What i want to know is when the official JB is released will i be able to update using Kies. Currently when i plug my phone into kies it says the current firmware version isnt supported for update.
How can i revert to make a ota/ kies update possible?

Since you are already on JB 4.1.2, you will not be able to update to the official version when it gets released.

Just like you flashed the test JB firmware, you can download the stock ICS 4.0.3/4.0.4 firmware for your region, and flash it using Odin. That way, your phone can get the update via Kies.
Or better yet, when the update is released, you can download that firmware manually and flash using Odin!

Any region's should work fine. But check for the European version. This thread will help you choose:

You can dowload official firmwares from sammobile.com.

Hi!
I currently have my s2 rooted and on CM9. My phone is/was the european version GT I9100. I know that region is getting the ICS update on 3/10. Can some one direct me to copies of a stock rom that will be receiving the update?
Thanks in advance!
Since you have already flsahed your phone with CM9 why not just flash the official ICS when it comes out?
Seems he want to install ics via kies

If your referring to
"(4) Customized firmware
If unofficial or customized firmware is installed in the mobile, unexpected problem can happen during upgrading"
Thats why I want to go back to stock.
They don't expect you to flash the firmware via CWM or Odin. I don't think it will be necessary to flash a stock rom first

wouldn't it be best to wait before flashing the official one through kies mate. cause you are only going to after a few days when all the custom official ones be released going to root your phone again. i was thinking the same but i am going to hold off for a while
Good luck getting official firmware updates via Kies if you're running non-stock firmware

Dear All,
I have flashed with a stock rom from below mentioned article

Still my Samsung S2 is not recognized by Kies.
Kindly help.

I can think of 2 possibilities why it might not work.
-wrong CSC: find your country's CSC and change yours to match. Here and Here
your ROM must have your CSC or a Multi-CSC where your CSC is included.
-"Zombie"-ROM: A ROM patched together from different originals, e.g. a good stock kernel from one ROM with a good modem from another ROM. This shouldn't be, because you took an original from intratech's Thread. But if you want, you can also try this.
I hope this helps.
If I am Orange UK stock do I just find the UK Stock XEU and put it on?

Work ok?
It looks like you already have an ORANGE-ROM. what exactly are you trying to do? If you want to get rid of the orange branding, what you have there looks good.

Don't you feel kinda stupid after beginning a thread with an OLD question and then having to post on that thread that you found your answer within that same forum from a thread that is stickied and out there for everybody to use
Ok so i'm on a UK Sim Free Samsung Galaxy S2 and was fed up with being stuck with the official 2.3.4 firmware so i manually flashed my firmware with Odin using the official ROM and all is running perfect but my baseband version has changed and firmware version to 'XXLPQ' and now Kies won't let me use it to do any other potential future updates?? Maybe because ICS isnt released officially on UK sim free??? Plz help! Thankssss!

Why panic? As soon as an update is available it is posted on Intratech's thread. You can just manually install again

Yapp.. You can always flash new ROMs with ODIN.. Be patient...
I want to update - but only to the official one on a unrooted phone.
For some yes for others no .
Usual method connect to Kies check firmware .
Other method is to join XDA developers forum and flash a stock or custom ICS .

You can try Wanam's stock roms

1: check and make sure you have i9100 and not i9100G or other varient.
2: use odin and flash the one you want, or one for your region. ICS for europe / asia is out official, rest can flash there too but not from kies.
using odin is as official as kies and you dont need root nor you have to after that.

It will depend on what network your on and what country you live in it should be available to most at this stage. I am on 3 NETWORK in Ireland and was available when released but I Did not upgrade I use resurrection remix instead find it a lot better than the stock ROM that comes with the phone.

The phone is unlocked. Does it need to be updated with Kies or going to 'about phone' will be sufficient as it is on the HTC?

Relax mate. I too had the same problem!
Sammobile.com contains all official firmwares released by Samsung in different countries. Flashing any of them using Odin will not void your warranty.
As for which country to choose, it doesn't really matter! U have been using Saudi version in India without any probs right?
Go to sammobile.com, search for 4.1.2 firmwares for GT I9100, and download any version (preferably European version).
Then simply flash it using Odin.

I have recieved an update on Galaxy S2 Jellybeans 4.1.2 from Samsung.
The update is relatively small(7.12mb) named Stability update.
But as i download and try to apply it, after rebooting it shows update failed. Plz try again.
Tried from kies desktop too, it it doesnt recognizes my device firmware.
My device is non rooted, with xwlsd build number(flashed from odin).
Plz help me....
Edit : my prb is solved thanx for helping me out

How did you update to jb?
If you did it via odin, it can cause things like that. If you updated with kies, it shuld be ok.
And check your sales code, if it is correct.

You will be able to update via ota just after, you got official jb in your region.
You have the sammobile version, so because of that, you wont be able to update via ota, so you have nothing to do with sales code
