and how to update as iam a beginer in this process
Gingerbread.
There is no ICS update with Kies.
thanks but check this link
dailymobile.se/2012/01/02/samsung-galaxy-s2-receives-android-4-0-ics-via-kies/
here they mention that ICS update update available plz confirm
This was mentioned in this thread the other day (some other European tech blog) and is bollocks. There is a rough chance it might be gettable in Kies test mode apparently, but it's not a stable/final release for all users. Personally speaking, I'm dubious about it being available even in Kies test mode.

Can't update higher than 2.1

Please help me to update my friends phone - it is on 2.1 now and Kies says it is the latest version which it is not of course.
On my Razr I just go to settings->about->system update and do it OTA.
on this phone I cannot find this option anywhere...
the phone is about a year old
the Samsung Galaxy S II never came with 2.1? - the version it original came out with was 2.3..
I suggest you go to the correct forum of the phone your friend owns and ask there.

Why wait for the update when you can flash a stock ROM today?
It's really simple and no waiting for the useless company called Samsung

You could update you Rom on the official way.
Install Samsung kies on your pc and connect your device with the pc. Kies should guide you through the update.
You can also

If kies says that there is no update available it means that the ics update is probably not released in your country.
You could wait till its official available or take the unofficial way and flash a custom rom.
use unofficial ways like installing cyanogenmod.. the kies update comes with touchwiz wich sux for me.. dont know about you...

[Q] Help required for Noob!!!!

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.
