Hello Experts,
I have bought a new Galaxy S2 mobile imported from Korea. The vendor says it is unlocked.
I had inserted my local sim and things are working fine.
The Android version currently running is Gingerbread.
I would like to know how can i update the version to JellyBean.
I read lot of articles and youtube videos on rooting the version, but i am confused and afraid.
My major doubts are, since it is from Korea, should i use the some Korean version of Jelly bean itslef to update.
When I connected to Kies, it says, this firmware cannot be update using Kies.
Can someone please help me here.
Ask in the S2 forums, they will help you better. Surely you will able to update your phone downloading the firmware from samfirmware.com to install it using Odin, but as I said, ask in the S2 forums to make sure.

I just flashed my 10.1 p7500 with the kk4 stock firmware I downloaded from the other post, thinking that when the samsung ICS comes out, I can update it using KIES. But KIES said that it wasn't updateable thru it.
Does anyone have a firmware that would be updateable thru KIES?
Hello,
I cannot answer your question, as kind of a newbie as well...
So hoping someone reads, maybe can also help me, as I have same issue.
I installed stock firmware "P7500OXAKI1_P7500XXKI1_P7500XXKI1" downloaded from SamMobile.
This to get my Singapore model become a Europe model with all languages there.
I did not root the system first, so hope that is okay.. Everything seems to work fine.
But, if I try to update on the Galaxy Tab itself, it says there is a 99Mb update available?? Is it safe to download and install this on the tablet directly? Or will it like block my tablet?
Thanks guys
Hello everyone.
So basically im a total noob at this sort of stuff and though i did find one similar thread, it wasnt of much help.
Anyhow, i got a used S 2 off a mate here in Pakistan (it has an orange logo on it). It works fine but when i connect it to Kies to upgrade it to ICS it says firmware upgrade not supported.
Please id appreciate it alot if you could help me out with this in some detail.
Thank you.

kies will not support it because it may have been flashed with a firmware that is not out yet in Pakistan.
When you upgrade with out using kies or from another region there are changes in a few files that kies will not recognize thus saying the firmware is unrecognized.
Current official ics is still new and only a few areas have the upgrade on kies, the rest of the the world may not see it until the end of the year or early next year.
If you want to upgrade to ics wait a month or so to allow current ics developers a chance to review and modify the official ics files. Then you can flash it yourself.
While you are waiting it will give you a change to read up and understand flashing techniques.
You need to flash it using odin
Odin tutorial here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
And use this ics firmware:http://skywanker.net/roms/intratech...9100_SER_I9100XWLP2_I9100OXELP4_I9100XXLPQ.7z

Hi,
I`m having the same problem.my workmate has the same phone on the same network (orange) and hes had the jellybean update for a few days now. Im getting really miffed as i got the phone on the day it came out and he got it a few weeks after yet he has the update without a problem.
You`re doing it the hard way.
Use Odin3... easy, fast, and certain to work.
Search the forums on how to upgrade to JB using Odin3.
It has been released on EE, many of my friend already have the jellybean update.
Is there any way to get my system restore button?
Any solutions?
One use Kies two ask your phone provider .
Three join XDA Developers forum .Four try a Samsung forum .

Hi All,
I am new to this forum and new to android world.
I have purchased unlocked Optus Samsung Galaxy S2 (I9100) from Australia and currenlty i am using it in India with Airtel. My mobile is installed with ICS 4.0.4.
I want Offical Jelly Bean firmware in my mobile.
Can i install Official Jelly Bean Rom released in SPAIN? Will it lock the the mobile after i install this ROM?
Or If i need to wait for Jellybean to realese in my region, Did i able to update Australian Version or Indian Version of Jellybean ROM or only the OPTUS version of ROM through Samsung Kies?
Please help me on this request.
Thanks,
Arun Panneerselvam
yes, you can install the jellybean from spain and no it will not lock your phone.
The choice is up to you. You try one of the custom roms on this site or wait for an official version through kies.
Updating kies may not happen this year because the roll out for jelly bean wil be uneven, no one knows what countries will get and when or if they will get jellybean at all.
Before installing you have to root your device,
then check and search on internet for your original rom (it could be useful if you need to send it to assistance in warranty)
If the phone is branded usually official updates came from carriers ,and often they need more time to release update after the unbranded is released since they want to put on it their customizations

What the devil are you talking about? You don't need to root in order to install the stock Samsung Jelly Bean firmware.
Hello!
You may think this is a newbie question but I haven't found an clear answer to my question:
My gf has an locked Samsung SII Plus - I9105p (locked on Orange - Romania), curently running on Android 4.1.2. It runs very slow so I want to update it to some 4.4.2 found on the internet. Can I do this without sim unlocking the phone, is it gonna work?
*note: the 4.4.2 i'm talking about is not an official Orange - Romania OS. Kies tells me there is no newer version for this phone. Truth is that I heard the Orange team here in my country is very low on human resources so they didn't bother releasing anything new for this phone, and I don't blame them.
Thanks in advance!
Yes, you can update it. I am also using an i9105p locked on orange Romania and i've installed any version of android from 4.1.2 to 5.0.2
