Hi,
Kies announced me today (08.01.2012) that it has downloaded a new firmware for my I9100. I'm on Vodafone Romania.
But because I have a custom ROM on my phone, I'm wasn't able to see what version it's about.
Did anyone from Romania received the same announce?
What version it is? Could it be ICS 4?
Regards,
Stefan
Unfortunately I am on Orange but most likely is 2.3.6 or .5. If it was ICS, it would have already been leaked on the Internet.
latest for vodafone romania is KJ3 which is 2.3.5 .. checkfus downloader says it all
Thank you guys.
I just thought that it could be ICS.
Regards,
Stefan

Thank you!
I've checked and you're right:

Latest firmware: I9100BUKJ3/I9100CNXKI2/I9100BUKI1/I9100BUKJ3
File name: GT-I9100_CNX_1_20111024142942.zip.enc2
Version: Android 2.3.5
But what's very strange is why Kies informed me now about this new firmware, considering that I have it installed on my laptop since I bought my phone (in may 2011)... Before this announce I didn't connect my phone to the laptop through KIES. And more, having a custom rom on my phone KIES cannot search for updates.
Isn't this strange?
Regards,
Stefan

You really have to laugh? What for? Is just a cat...
I though that people are helping here.
If you want to laugh, why don't you watch a comedy and leave us alone here?

Alright so here's my question. Are updates region specific, even if it's unbranded and unlocked?
I'm currently running on PDA XWKE2 and Phone XWKE1 and whenever I try to update via the phone it says no update available and when I try Kies it says my phone isn't compatible.....
Also I can't root cuz I currently only have a Mac so I can't use Odin.
Sent from my GT-I9100
Well yes, the update is region specific, definitely, doesn't matter if it's unlocked/unbranded. Where are you located?
China already got there official 2.3.4 update, while the whole world is still waiting.
Regards.
I'm in Qatar, Middle East.
Man I bought it thinking I'd get updates fast, just hope I don't have to wait much.
Anyhow thanks for the reply.

Each time I connect to kies, it states my sgs2 is up to date, 2.3.3, but I read everywhere on here that your all using 2.3.4, am I doing something wrong
They all are using a version of leaked 2.3.4, which has this and that problem here and there. If you can't wait join them by flashing any 2.3.4 firmware via Odin or if you are in my club then wait for the official release which could be coming any time.
Regards.
You can wait i have tried 2.3.4 only gtalk with video. nothing speacial!
Oh ok, will wait, thanks for the info

How did you get GTalk with video, I just flashed KH3 and my GTalk is still 1.3, no update in the arket and no video support. WTF?
How can I know if there is official europe region 2.3.4. android version for SGS2 or not?
Many of android sites states they have official versions which can be downloaded and installed using odin. Are these available 2.3.4. versions leaked or there are already available for some countries official 2.3.4.? Like me I live in Latvia and there is not available firmware upgrade via kies. but maybe for such large countries like Germany maybe there already is official 2.3.4. And that version then is installed using odin. Am I right or not? Please clarify.

No you are not right .
Official Leaked Samsung firmware is 2.3.4 .
Stock Roms .and csc

KIES updates as and when its receives an update from the phone provider .
Nothing to do with the size of the country Latvia should come under Europe firmware release . Its more dependent upon the phone provider .

Guys are you able to do OTA updates without a PC at all?
Maybe why Europe is last to get v2.3.4 , Samsung is busy changing the gallery app.
Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 Android Gingerbread 2.3.4 update is Rolling out NOW (Daily Updated) | Josephws'sBlog | YouMobile
Some areas have gotten KG5 or KG7 2.3.4 roms (both very much like KG6), but not globally, I would bet a lot of it is carriers taking there sweet time.

Yes, and they have to approve the updates to be pushed out via kies.
I got an official update to 2.3.4 from kies, yet i dont have Video Support in Talk... anyone having this problem?
Hi, i got the 2.3.4 update from kies about two weeks ago but i was wondering if anyone has seen any difference since i dont see any, its suppose that my talk should have
Video support yet i dont have i did get a new market but not with the firmware update
Anyone has had the same experience
I found the battery life much improved on 2.3.4. Worth getting an unofficial update in my opinion - kies is hopeless.

It's not listed on Samfirmware anymore as all there new releases will be uploaded SamMobile.com
Ok, I get that flashing a firmware from samfirmware.com can change your CSC code.
So far I've been very careful to choose only OXX/TPH ROMs as this is the closest match for my phone (unlocked, Portuguese edition) - but Kies still somehow knows that my firmware is unofficial.
What the heck does Kies check to discover whether or not the firmware is official or unofficial? anyone have any tips? is it the IMEI number?
Is there any other problem that can come from flashing a firmware that doesn't match whatever internal value for CSC that the phone thinks it is?

Sorry for a bit offtopic but how to do for downloading at Twitter?
Well, just installed to test (CM7.1 will probably be back on my SGA soon though!) and it does indeed seem to resolve the Virgin (and Orange and T-Mobile UK?) SMS with 3G problem. Sent about a dozen now and all have gone where previously I would maybe get 2 before it stopped working. Don't want to be hasty but it's definitely looking promising. Cheers! (",)
Same here - seems to have resolved my problem sending SMS with packet data switched on. T-Mobile UK BTW.

Hello
My cousin had a SII and he always ask me about the ICS update. It is not available OTA. Did Samsung had any road map for ICS? My region in Middle East. Anybody know when ICS is coming to Middle East?

I think it was already released. I believe you have to use the Samsung kies software on a PC to update the phone.

Means no ICS yet released for that phone by the phone provider .

Yes, I checked firmware at SamMobile. They didn't wrote the version of firmware but firmware codes match. I guess it GB 2.3.5. Anyways thanks all. and if anybody know the timeline for ICS in different regions, please share.

No this is the one latest available in the middle east....2.3.5 JPKJ2 Not ICS....
Yep, Middle east latest firmware is still Gingerbread JPKJ2 (2.3.5).
Just wait and watch. Hope it won't take much time.
you can ask ur cousin to try custom ics rom roms available here on xda. they are stable and fast. only if he has his phone rooted. rooted phone has its own benefits.. nice tweaks and customization.
just use odin and flash away............. odin with official Firmware of different region is as official as its on KIES for that region

As long as you have an i9100, and not an i9100G, sure. You can use an i9100 firmware from whatever region you want. But once you do, just be aware that you will probably no longer be able to get updates through Kies.
For example, I'm in the US, but my phone originally came from the UK, and it's now currently running a firmware from Poland.

thanks pal.. i think i dont need updates from kies coz i'm stick with xda and always get updates from it
I can do it but my cousin is not similar with this all. He only goes simple way
lol i have a cousin like that but he didnt even want to use kies, for him what comes with the phone is what should be used. so 2.3.3 it is
He's using 2.3.3 also. There is latest gb available via kies butstill not updating.

Hi everyone
I am confused with this problem that I have: I bought Samsung Galaxy S3 international version GT-i9300. Now, I live in Australia. My question is, when I go to my phone to check software update or Samsung Kies to check software update, which will be visible/show up/ be downloaded to my phone? The latest version for International SGS3 OR the latest version for Australian SGS3?
Confusing isn't it?
So long story short: when there is a new update, which one is it? Is the software/firmware update based on the country of purchase (In this case, international version) or where I am living (Australia)?

Alright my apologies, I am the noob.
So, just making sure, because I still do not quite get it.
I will simplify this question even more. When there is asoftware update for my SGS3, which one will my phone download? The international software update(Because my phone is international) or will my phone download the australian software update(Because I live in australia)?
Still need help with this.

It will download the update that is in line with your firmware code. If you use an Australian firmware it will be the update for this Australian firmware once it is released.

Well, so it is based on my phone, NOT the country I am living in?
Mine is internatinal version GT-i9300, so when there is an update, my phone will download that one, and the Australian update is irrelevant for me?

It is not so much the intentional but the firmware Version, e.g. uk, Australian etc., you can find it under settings about phone. If your firmware is e.g. The uk version and stock you will get UK otas.
