[Q] How to update Galaxy SII?

I have a Galaxy SII and I want to update it to ICS. I Live in New Zealand on the vodafone network.
I have tried using Kies except it doesn't support updating and I don't know why!
Please help!
doed ur coutry has ics upgrade via kies....
check *#1234# and post...
Well, you can always go down the other road and skip Kies, flashing an ICS rom from the forums, of which are a lot good available, I'm very happy with one as well.
That is, if you're happy to leave the Samsung stock rom path.
You'll find all the info in the development section for the SGSII.

kies is sh*t only use it to install usb drivers then remove from desktop use odin 1.85 to flash or mobile odin app on play store
you can update to ics simply via odin. its the easiest method. just goto intratech's thread of official ics roms and choose the one you want + the same thread also has a good tutorial on how to use odin.

[Q] No firmware update possible - I9100 - GINGERBREAD.XWKF3

Hi there! I hope someone can enlighten me. I've never been able to update my SII since I got it, now it's almost a year ago in Belgium (so I'm stuck with GB 2.3.3). KIES says I've got the latest firmware version, and I get the same thing via FOTA.
Now it seems as if ICS provides some battery saving, among some other features, so I'd like to update the firmware (at least for once!)
I would like to avoid rooting, flashing and so on... although it seems as that's the most practical way to follow
So, thanks a lot in advance to anyone who could help me

Go to www.sammobile.com download a stock firmware update and flash through odin. There's lots of guides on the site about flashing steps.

OK, I've tried that and odin is not recognizing my phone... The firmware is there, I'm in download mode. I've switched usb ports... This is a bloody nightmare!
Last week I told a friend of ñine to try to update hers and she did it straight away through FOTA... and she had bought it only 6 months after me! What a bunch of wankers these Koreans!
friend of mine had the same problem with his s2, i found out his problem was caused by his phone being locked to a provider and because of this he had different kernel from me. he got update several months after me...
this because of provider's own extra apps on the phone...!
Just flash via Odin

Make sure you have the drivers installed and Kies is closed before you open Odin

Hi there,
- Have you tried to get to the Download mode ?
- Have you a JIG ?
- If so, just use ODIN to flash a proper stock ROM.
Yes, pick the laest official ROM from here for ODIN flash : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487

Why did you use a method from outside of XDA? When you posted here, I responded with google searches that would have only returned results from XDA. The first result for the root search (for me, anyway) should have been the root method for ICS that didn't involve flashing anything with Odin.

[Q] SGS2 kernel/rom (insane chip) 4.0.4

First of all, i got my SGS2 2 days ago, switched over from iphone after 5 years, so don't judge me . I'm thrilled with SGS2, such a perfect phone. I got it unscratched, almost new. Browsing through the forums, i saw CM rom that i would like to install on my phone, but then ... I saw people talking about superbrick , so i installed eMMC check and saw it says that i got insane chip. My "About" screen gives following info:
Model number : GT-I9100
Android version : 4.0.4
Baseband version : I9100XXLQ6
Kernel version : 3.0.15-1157945 [email protected] #3 SMP PREEMPT Fri Oct 26 16:17:36 KST 2012
Build number : IMM76D.XWLQ2
My question is, how can i manage to install CM rom on my phone without bricking it ? I tried searching through the forums, not that i didn't , but im kinda unsure. Should i apply SiyahKernel S2-v5.0.1 through Odin first, and then try to apply CM 10.1 or even some stock rom or what ? Sorry to bother you, but i'm fairly new to android kernels/roms. Thanks in advance.

And can i root ? That would be all, don't wanna bother you anymore. Thanks :good:

BACKUP
But before doing anything don't forget to backup you default ROM.
I have done it in CWM recovery in the "backup and restore" .
It will create a folder in SD card -->clockworkmod--->backup ( I recommend to upload that whole folder somwhere USB maybe only to be sure if anything will happend to that SD card ) .
It saved me last time when I couldn't start the SII.

oh, i do that right after i place siyah on my s2 , right ?
Of course.
1) Flash Siyah.
2) Backup ROM through CWM.
3) Backup all storage and apps using TiBu or Carbon.
4) Use nuke script to clean phone.
5) Flash new ROM.
6) ???

[Q] Which rom can I use to root my GTi9300?

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 GTi9300 and would like to root it (don't we all)
I just looked up the Baseband and Build number and found that it is using a Brazilian ROM, most odd since I bought this as sim free and unlocked from Amazon UK
The Baseband version is I9300UBELL1
The Kernel version is 3.31-789635
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT Fri Jan 4 19:59:29 KST
2013
The Build number is
JZO54K.I9300UBEMA1
My question is can I use a BTU rooted rom GT-I9300-BTU-I9300XXEMC2 to replace the Brazilian one I have?
Will this work on my phone or do I have to download and install the rooted brazilian version of this rom?
Cheers
Basically all ROM out there is universal to galaxy s III unless the DEVer says it otherwise.
Just be careful with all those variants as American / Canadian S3, S3 international, S3 LTE. etc.
But in this case we are talking about International version which is GT-i9300
And actually, root it means put su binary and superuser control apps into system, it is not ROM related.

As long as the ROM is for the I9300/I9300T version of the SIII and you got an I9300/I9300T you can flash them, independent from which country they are. The only thing you might want to look at, if the ROM comes with a baseband from another country, is to maybe flash a baseband of your region (in case reception gets worse).
Read the FAQ for guides on how to flash, root, unroot etc.
And what is your point.? If your phone is working properly you dont have to care where your rom is.
Elsewhere to root you have guides on xda. And root has nothing to do directly with your problem you can flash à stock rom And modem with odin.

The phone works fine I was just concerned that OTA updates would be for Brazil and not UK so figured I would put correct version of rom on my phone, I already downloaded I9300XXEMC2_BTU_i9300 from sam mobile.
Still find it odd tham Amazon.co.uk are selling the phones with non UK rom but it seems this doesn't matter
Thanks for help anyway, I am going to investigate other options mentioned in this post :fingers-crossed:

I wasn't sure if updates etc would work properly on OTA as I have a Brazilian rom
I had an S1 before this and only had phone a few days, my S1 was flashed with a custom rom, but baseband was always the same.
I want to root this so I can get native emocions by dropping the fonts in the relevant directory and also so I have a wider choice of what I want to run in the future regarding custom roms

OTA updates the firmware you have if its Brazil then thats the update BTU then that's the update .
OTA will not update on rooted phones use Kies instead .

Baseband and CSC are two different things, don't worry about the CSC too much as said earlier, you only need to if you want OTA updates when unrooted . Baseband = modem.

Usually all basebands are compatible with every rom (as long as you choose the correct android version). Hence just try and see if you reception is ok, otherwise flash a different one, there is a thread on the general section for that.
